The V8 Owners Forum -

Maybe it's time for update.
After little wrestling with Finnish Transport Sagety Agency (TraFi) and GM Finland I finally got special permission for that engine, and little later I got car registered, that was late May.
Then I started adjusting MegaSquirt, and after week or two I got maps quite ok ...

This is Toyota 2T/3T, looks similar to me

Toyota 2T is pushrod (OHV) engine and 2T-G is DOHC-engine.

Are those heads from Toyota 2T?

Maybe it is time to update.
But first: Thanks to all for liking it.

I had for frontbrakes widened Volvo 4-pot calipers, but there was some problems with them, so I ordered Wilwood calipers, made new brackets for them, and now they are awesome!
Front brakes Wilwood 4-pot calipers with 330X30mm ...

I turned car on a side and cleaned undercoating, there was some rust and I sandblasted it.

Then new paint and undercoating ...

Thanks for kind words.

Engine specs:
1978 SD1 3.5
Crower Comp-U Pro 50230 Camshaft
Castings finished in heads, nothing special
ACT carbon fibre plenum + 70mm throttlebody
MegaSquirt MS1 2.2 + Edis8

Thanks.

Headlamps are Depo "tuninglights" for BMW E32/E34. Not direct bolt-on, I made new brackets for them.

Here is my little project. This is my first car, I owned it since 1991. It had 2.5l R6 with triplewebers. I registered it 1992, and after driving 1 year motor failed.
I started convert it to V8, bought 1978 SD1 3.5 engine with BW65.
But then life got in the way, army, school etc. I put project on ...

I have used citric acid to clear rust away, water + few spoons citric acid to bucket, and parts in, couple days later parts are clean, may need little brushing.
Here in Finland you can buy that citric acid from agricultural stores (I don't know is it right word).

What can I do when seller don't send parts or return my money? This is/was private sell.
EDIT: Seller is briton and I live in Finland so I can't go and knock his door..
