My NZ ride .. 1998 Suzuki Wagon R Wide Body Turbo

[98wagonrwide]

Just bought a wide body turbo

all paperwork etc shows it is a k10a but research says k10b is turbo not k10a - firstly can anyone verify this please

Secondly here she is in all her glory

I have added an oil catch can temporarily and have huge plans for her .. will update with progress as it's made

here is the engine bay

I hope you can all see it

I look forward to your feedback

thanks

Will

Ha! TWO Wagon R Wide Turbo Manuals on DIYEFI.org :-D

Nice score, mine's rough, but that looks tidy. Thanks for posting :-)

done couple of mods now

new bov

new cold air intake with k and n poddy

new air horns replacing old factory single squeaker lol

new oil catch can too

[Fred]

Ha, yours is getting more like mine every day! :-D

If I were to modify mine, as opposed to fix it... I would likely upgrade the intercooler and maybe the turbo if I could find something small enough that spools OK, and revert the BOV situation to some factory skyline/subaru/evo one from the obnoxious SSQV one on it now :-)

Your front bumper setup is different to mine. I think I prefer mine, but it's hard to tell with your two tone paint scheme. Of course, yours looks mint, mine's had a frontal and other more minor abuse in the past.

got more parts coming from eBay this week or so .. will keep you posted .. am going back to recirculating bov so its even more stealth and some decals and white underglow LEDs on both sides of vehicle .. at night it'll look immensely cool

[Fred]

Rice wagon to the max with under car lighting, suits the car! :-D

recirc is fine, vent is fine, loud vent is obnoxious, and certainly no steal about it with the air filter/intake off and an SSQV on it. Conspicuous is the word! :-)

Never had so many old people yelling at me to slow down (while I'm going slow) and girls checking me out (who are half my age). Turns heads. In good and bad ways :-D

[98wagonrwide]

she's undergone a few changes

new custom intake and new leads, plugs, blow off valve, sound system, speakers, sub, amp, etc and underglow, canards on front bumper as well as custom rear wing and custom side skirt extensions .. more mods to come too

[98wagonrwide]

Here she is curbside and close up of eyes and side mods

[98wagonrwide]

Sounds added too

What amazes me is that you've managed to out-rice my car for riciest car on the forum. 10/10 - I didn't think it could be done! :-D
