yeah factory turbo and intercooled all out of a 180SX, have to get it sorted first looked at it and drove it 18 months ago went like a bullet someone else bought it and story goes didn't drive it much and passed away (so no information) but now it isn't going well fine when cold but the more it warms up the worse it runs to the point anything over 2000rpm it just completely breaks down but only under load, i'm hoping coil packs and plugs but who knows on an engine with a computer and a hundred sensors on everything, but heat and load and the fact 2 of the 4 plug tubes were half full of water for god only knows how long and a third had had water also isn't a good sign for coils
and yes once sorted i'd like a custom manifold and much bigger turbo not so much for power but looks :wink:

it's all been cleaned and put back together, it's better but still not good i'm hoping that the water being in there so long has killed the coils

nah these take a different coil to a standard SR20 4 coils $964 :shock: and that was mates rates, though after looking could have got genuine Nissan for $190 per coil, even cheapies on ebay were $400 to $500 per set, done now better but still not great fine when cold but once warms up seems just as boost is coming on it breaks down though if i accelerate slowly seems ok, injectors out to be cleaned and flowed next
