Wait... another build? KA-T

Hellloooo, just got my new car, take a step back and it looks nice and the motor is clean, but really..it needs a lot of work. Its leaking oil out of who knows what, i havent looked hard yet, i think its something with the turbo. But anyways about the build, im doing some fab pieces for the front, the intercooler, radiator/fan setup is ghetto. Im going to take the head off and inspect it and put a new head gasket on, flush all the fluids out, etc. Basically get the motor to prestine, sano condition before i tackle the body. It has 860cc injectors and it runs like absolute s*** when you first start it, and it smokes bad(no cat too). Should i get 550cc injectors or i can take and reprogram the megasquirt efi, which i have no idea how. Well, ill figure that out later i guess.

Heres some pictures:





God i hate those damn headlights



















And now, showing off my garage, well some of it atleast.

Driving with those at 3 in the morning, raining with 60mph gusts on the way home wasnt to fun, trust me. And i got it for 3200 cash.

decide what your power goals are then decide on injectors. sounds like the car needs to be tuned. also make sure you get good injectors no cheap crap. you dont want to go boom. its probably running rich as fawk so check the oil. looks like a nice start.

any idea what brand the injectors are? and are you thinking about selling em? looks like you have your hands full but it'll be worth it
