That is a nice setup. How did they run it before. Looks like a pressure switch mounted on the plenum probably used to control the injectors.

You'll need a boost dependent fuel pressure regulator for carbs. Make sure your t off the injectors before the regulator.

Did a blowoff valve come with it?

I know EXACTLY Who built that "Kit" and who can get it running perfectly for you. Those were 1st Gen Turbo kits built in the late 80's by CLR Racing in Miami.

Notice the GSL-SE upper intake runners that where used to give a shitload of low-end torque.

One of the main mechanics that used to work there helped finalize the kit. Some of them were designed to work with the 6 port intake and actuators too. Basically it was a blow-through carb setup, with a couple of additional injectors, controlled by an HKS AIC.

This same mechanic did my exhaust manifold for my Turbo.

Many, Many of those kits put out over 400 rwhp on 13B's.

That shop used to charge over 10K in those days for those kits.

PM me, and I will put you in contact with 1 of the 2 guys who knows that "kit" inside out.

I PM'ed you the Info. Yes, Carlos would rape you.
Andres is good honest guy, and is fair.

Good luck, and take lots of pics. That is a very nice kit. I would've gone that way if I had the option back then.

With the correct jetting you can probably run up to 8 lbs boost w/o AIC. That might save you some bucks since AIC isn't cheap.

If you can some how afford it get a different intercooler, that Supra one is extremely inefficient and is very fragile. It quite possibly may heat the charged in coming air.LoL
No really though go to a bunch of wreckers and look for a Ford Thunderbird IC, also ebay always has the Starion one for 150.00$ or so. Just try to get a better one. I gained nearly 40hp by going with the biggest Spearco core so it will make some difference.
