I took my friends car for a few days until he fixes my f28. Few days later i managed to buy it via telephone . It's a 1996 C20LET f28 4x4, most parts in factory colour, SFJ body kit (Ive got skirts too). XE inlet camshaft (retarded by half a tooth), Forge BOV, Recaro Sport Topline racing seats. I washed the interior, tinted windows in black so it suits Gargy OEM style (new styling section when someone wants plastic extensions but puts branded body kit instead of fiberglass Gargy stuff). Car is excellent, there was no need to watch it thoroughly. I have washed the interior and put LED in the car key for my friend before i even bought it but in the end in stayed in the city with bunch of calibras .

I got EDS phase 3 ecu with powerwheel, saab reds and soon i will put it in the car.

Soon i will paint front bumper trims to blue, no more blue CARBONGARGY trims, put white LEDs in speedo and gauges, take black leather interior from my 8v except front seats, put some nice car audio, antiGARGY air filter (factory airbox with stock paper filter)












It has high beam xenon but due to slow ballasts i decided to put h1 Narva 4500k halogen lamps and h3 for foglights. Left headlight is broken so i will replace it with another sonar angel eyes headlight. Bought Lemforder accumulator bulb for 4x4.



Interior got stripped, i will put 2 sets of Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1, fits nicely in rear speaker adapters, will make front adapters soon. Special Edition RCA's from Germany , the usual front door cutting had to be done, now its 165mm hole, european standard . Zealum 50mm2 power cable went trough nicely.

Haha, thats the idea. There are few worth buying, actually i count only 2 for now, one is not for sale however and i like it the most. LETs became extremely rare and other calibras for sale are 99% sh*t...

Great work mate!
I remember when I put white leds in my gauges and speedo.. Best mod ever!

My mate ZUX mv6 made this plastic speaker adapters!




Gauges are extremely bright, looks like oem ones, im very satisfied . BC got white led, i need to make heat panel and oem gauges led lighting. Im fixing crossovers for front speakers and hope i will finish soon and mount front adapters. Then i need to finish boot install and do some tuning (fitting ph3 n stuff).

Painted trunk shelf in black.




Creamed teh leather, installed pioneer sq player for now, i have another retro futuristic which will be fitted soon.



Mounted hood lifters

Connected the HU.



I have ugly pic of plastic speakers adapters, so i removed factory cover to take a picture.



I hate this grayish pale seatbelt holders.



So i painted it black.


After painting


Covers got back under the seats.


Fake lowering


Interior is kinda done now onto the T U N I N G .

60mm tophat, one day I might change it with one from TX Autosport so it matches the rest.



63.5mm FMIC pipes from TX Autosport with clamps and some silicon bits.


In the end toyosports FMIC

* Our products are 100 % Brand New

* Bar and Plate Intercooler Corn size: 550mm x 140mm x 65mm, Overall length: 690mm

* 2.5" (64mm) Inlet and Outlet

* Maximum Pressure: 45psi

* Max Horsepower Capacity : 350hp



Im running it on phase 3 at the moment, its awesome!1! Will mount powerwheel soon but im currently getting only 0.3boost or max power so will need to sniff around .

Hope i will have time to mount FMIC soon, anywayz id have to order more silicone hoses so im not rushing...

Swapped the wheels, I've got better tires on retro ones and green calibra is out of registration for a few days so im gonna drive blue one .



It runs great trough the snowy woods but OEM GARGY style asks for some 17" winter wheels


Enzo H 17" ET40 with 215/45-17 are ready to be fitted

Washed the wheels



Ex owner gave me air filter box and panel K&N so i washed it. I got bored of that chinese cone filter sucking/blowing air sound, I will block factory BOV soon anywayz.



I've weighted it, its ~80kg lighter then the green one .



I was planing on puting 12" but since its so light i decided to put 15", its a bit dusty but will kick just fine .

This week she is going to visit a mechanic.



I'll write when head falls down

Looks good to me mate !!

Got some parts from Germany, ARP rod bolts, rest parts are factory standard...

Powdercoated some parts, anthracite with sparkles hahah

I have decided to visit my friend and help him assemble my car. Traveled 250 kilometers via bus carrying turbo in my bag . So i was not going back without my car

Day one

Parking the car in the garage, enjoying recaro seats and pumping lumbar support . Fitting standard ecu and putting back the glove box. Changing coolant pipe with metal one.



His godfather came later to finish the engine, he is the one who did the full rebuild, busy man with a lot of knowledge. I was washing the parts while they checked the transfer box and changed the viscous coupling, other bits were fine.




Mounting the txb, oil sump and washing oil mesh.



Putting the engine in, mounting steering fluid pump and AC compressor for like 3 times back n forth because of the belt n other stuff we forgot .



Day two

Putting back the  steering pump, ac comp, tensioner and finally the belt. Connecting hoses, wiring loom and stuff.



Engine started after about 3 seconds we've had to change 1 fuel hose. Engine runs perfect, all the tappets became quiet after about 15mins. Filled and bled the steering system and finished other bits. Everything works fine, engine runs really great. Fuel pressure regulator is standard so as injectors and everything for now. Engine is standard, third cyl has a sleeve others were fine by measurement, changed third piston, rings and cr bearings. Drove the car back home that night.



Finally together



When i get time ill clean it thoroughly, no rush.

Big thanks to my friend and his godfather for doing amazing job on assembling the engine. They were very lazy, for almost 2 years they were working maybe 7days including 2 with me just to put the engine back in

Nice story.. Lovely cars! 

Looking great! You have more turbo Calibras than this entire country haha.

Nice, nice .... and nice! 
You have done an awesome work!

Thanks Will!

Front bumper was cracked so I've swapped it with the green one , fitted FMIC without pipes for now and polished whole car.







 

Old bumper used for short time. Got 55w xenon h1 low beam




Polished remus, spent about 5 hours polishing , minor changes to my "tomb" in the trunk haha will put some LEDs when I get time






Took out center gauges so I can use middle vents, traveled a lot and AC works good.

New batter terminal and 50mm2 + for the alternator.


TXB piston seal has failed, not know cause


Since im 2WD for now, I might lower it a  bit, I've bought new 17" wheels and p zero nero 215/40 tires, when i get time I'll fix txb and probably get a camber kit if i decide to lower it.





And few pics from vacation

THANKS!

Changed the wheels, havent got time to try some rear lowering


Bought used hybrid and reconditioned it, im slowly getting ready for high boost. Amal valve is leaking so ima put MBC and drive standard boost.



Im testing BT A2DP streaming + Handsfree, mic is in its temporary position, so far so good.




Finally my model has arrived, its so detailed!1!

If you wanna see pics from above, just quote my post and swap postimg.org with postimg.cc

I was not posting for a while but we are still driving

PK Tuning show august 2017





Some random photos





Hybrid turbo and walbro 255lph




Last summer I've bougt this modifield TXB





A month ago I've managed to put it on the car, it works just fine, now pressure plate seal CANNOT FAIL :

I have found these 17" used wheels, ordered 'em immediately, when package arrived i realized wheels are chinese so I've returned it. Learned there are no original 5x110 17" just 18" so i got horny and got 18s

 

Got new nankang ns2 ultra sport 215/35R18









PK Tuning show #2 august 2018



Finally I've had to break seal's on my oldschool amp to do minor soldering, now both amps are open, too bad one PCB is green not blue like the other



So far so good, walbro still sleeps under my desk , today I've put SAAB Reds

Thanks mate. I was running same pressure on ph3 with reds earlier , now im on standard chips and standard boost. Turbo is stock k16 but rebuilt to hybrid...

Yes , I know but ifif the fuel pressure is 4.5 bar=22% more fuel for normal 3bar injectors  and 360cc saab red with 4.5 bar is equal to 440cc injectors on 3 bar

Hehe, been there... Look what I've bought earlier today, TOTALLY UNPLANNED...





Anywayz, how was your fuelling? Fuel pump? Often pump gets less voltage so u have to make new wiring especially on old types where pump is outside... And we never do AFR check we just set pressure n injectors and drive full boost, right

btw im sorry bout melting ):

haha mate, that is fully working piston "like new" here in serbia.

Check mine from few years ago1!!1 THIS IS HOW YOU MELT A PISTON...
