I will start off by introducing myself. My name is Dave, and I live in York PA.
I have owned this car for almost 4 years now(I think) and it has been on heck of a ride. This first post will be quite long, just a warning. This is how it looked when i got it. It had a few issues, but ran and drove. The biggest problem it had was the 3rd gear syncro was shot, to I had to sync shift it, no big dreal right?
That was unil the pieces of brass decided to all get together in between the gears, and punch out the front of the trans housing. So I found another trans that had recently been rebuilt with new bearings, seals, and syncros. But I am getting ahead of myself. I first found this.
Shutochnaya biografiya yubilyara. An '86 5KTQ avant. A tree limb had fallen on the old girl, and PO was using it as storage. So I got it from him pretty cheap, drove it onto the trailer, and started the break down.
Here is the reason I grabbed it. MC1 10VT engine!

Not in too bad of shape, but in desperate need of attention It had the normal worn parts, like cracked manifold Cracks between the valves But the bores looked good I cleaned and welded the manifold I also got a head from a 2.2L JT engine, so that I would have the vacuum pump option, as well as they do not crack like the turbo head. This head got a nice port and polish,.5mm larger stainless exhaust valves, high rate springs, titanium retainers, 3 angle valve job, and a good flattening.
Then I machined the flywheel snagged a spec stage3 Complete reseal and ARP studs And to button up the bottom, the AAN windage tray(sorry no pic), and 7a aluminum oil pan Then almost 18 months later it went in! A little more put together A shot of the K24 turbo in there. UrQ downpipe all wrapped up, and ready to go in Ground the intake manifold to it with the 10mm phenolic spacer.
Intercooler figured out! And I was even able to get the factory fog lights to fit by welding on some VERY short cast 90 elbows to the intercooler Final open front end pic. That BOV is crazy loud, it scares people on the sidewalks! Then finally all together and looking like a car again. Some time earlier, the decision had been made to go EFI, to a good friend of mine built my MS2 V3.0 Of course I had to find a tons of other little thing to go with it, but I will not bore you guys with all that. Oh, and some time in there it got a brake upgrade. G60 caliper, 276mm rotors, braided lines, and quality pads.
