Yeah,Thats Jesus Padilla's bown GSL-SE I see it all the time in import magazines.I'm wondering what his engine bay looks like for cleareances and mounts to the engine.Anyone know of sites that talk about his car or have pics of it?

Thanks

the car is silver not brown

i already told you that the car is pictured on the other forum in great detail in a thread started by greg.

if you use the search function on the other forum, type in username greg and keyword padilla. how difficult is that? or should i go over there and search for you?? [/quote]

It's silver now?The latest pics of it in Import Racer shows it still the same old brown.Must be older pics then. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png He hit 10.04 last time they said.Thats awesome for all motor.

10.04.. that sounds good to me.

Yea.. or maybe a dark gray or something.. but not silver.

Thanks SPEED NYC.That does look like a GSL-SE distributer on it.That would make it alot easier to hook it up with that carb setup he has too.But I hear that carb setup is costly.If I ever did that swap I would just stay EFI with stock twins in non-seq mode till more $$$ came available.

Never mind I see that the plug wires loop around to the cap.Its there just to fool a person.

I see a SE waterpump and 12a Tstat housing sorting stocker style rad hoses to a custom rad with stock located outlets.Hhhhmmm.Looks good.Too bad that carb setup is prolly more then just using EFI.I hear that a Porsche webber setup?I wonder if you could run stock twins in there or if oyu have to relocate the turbo forward more?Nice work on it.He even used most of the stock Se crossmember.Good install that fo sho. :bigthumg:

i still dont know what he uses for ignition. even if the distributor wasn't a 'dummy' it still would not be able to fire a 20B, the 20B distributors are much diffrent than those. the car has no efi, but what the **** does he use for spark?
