Hi guys,

Just introducing myself. My best friends dad passed away and left a 1987 Turbo Sprint which I purchased.

I'll be looking on here a lot for advice and research. I'll post pictures once I tow it to my house

Welcome!

Thanks guys, it's nice to be back on a forum. I'm a moderator on northwestnissans.com so I'm familiar with them.


Quick question, are there any steering wheel hubs produced for our cars that fit the nardi or momo bolt pattern?

Welcome to the forum.
Condolences to your friend.

Can't say about Nardi or Momo, but Grant does make a hub adapter.. Not sure if it is compatible with those wheels though.

Just found this, luckily the car already has a grant wheel on it.

So I was able to go take a peak at it today, and it was in better shape than expected. Heads currently off due to a BHG, but that's not an issue. Hoping to bring it home tomorrow

Late welcome. That looks to be in great shape. What part of Washington?

Just a little south of you, in Everett.

Exterior is great Hans a QP dent on passenger side. Interior is good, little worn from use as a daily and was smoked in. Good little project I'd say.

Cool. I never could understand why someone smokes, but Everett comes close. Hopefully you can air it out and get the stink out. What are your plans with the car?

Maybe new carpet to start, hopefully get my Nardi Classic, Bride Zeta 3 and gauges put in for the interior

After that I'd like to do a coilover setup such as Koni since there is no off the shelf stuff. Maybe some Konig Rewind wheels to set off the exterior.

As for motor I'm not too sure yet, I'll have to see what common upgrades there are for the turbo motor.

i will be honest with you. i have seen so many of these cars "modded" to the point where they don't run anymore.

the factory engines and systems run nicely and they are really reliable.

sometimes less is more.

well said

Op if i could add all the cool kids around here monkey-ing the chevy sprint use 80- civic aftermarket parts and mod them for the sprint
everything from rocker arms (VW) struts to wheel stud
.
your car if in factory config still has TWO catallitic converters .. Your car no longer requires (smog test)
removing these would allow you car to breath better.. More HP

a Cone filter replacing the restrictive intake filter
Boost gage ( a must have)

shim your BOV with washers to allow the turbo to boost more ( stock boost is 7LB I would not go above 12lb boost)
a turbo wastgate valve to manually adjust wastgate for more boost(Bleed wast gate line to atmosphere) made mine for $7


.
If you have a good strong turbo/engine and asked me what would get me the most bang for the buck.?
Aftermarket Cam shaft.
The 266/395 grind. is a great cam for these little turbo engine
I have used this cam and and will stand behind my statement .
Bang for the buck
there's no better mod if you looking for more power from a T3
.
non of the mods I suggest would be harmful if used in moderation providing you have a strong mill as a starting point
.
Or This .............

Excellent info! Much appreciated. I know he was running it at 13lbs already, guessing via a manual controller. Engine will be last on the list, besides getting it running and my spare engine rebuilt and prepped.

Interested in the cam, though. Is this something a company produces already? Or should I sent one to delta to be reground?

.
Waoh christ ...SSSHHH.

don't mention the "D****" word for cams last guy spoke of that said " company" got so bounced out of here nobody has heard or seen him since.

Awesome, I'll pick his brain when Im ready.

Figure I'll shared the last car we built. 1987 Corolla with a Nissan CA18DET engine. What a wicked blast it was

So today my friend called me and said he was in front of my garage, I went out and he had the car on the trailer already being delivered haha. That was a nice surprise. Time to get to work!

Looks like your missing some parts

It does indeed have the OEM turbo, still. I can't believe how small it is lol (that's what she said).

But yeah I'll start a build thread soon, once I pick up the spare motor and parts start rolling in

Made some head way with it today!
