    Digital Tuning 87 into 91 Stang Turbo Computor

    I may finally get around to swapping the 87 TC engine into my 91 Mustang..... How-ever, Stinger recommends using the '87 computor which I may have either miss-placed or neglected to remove from the doner car (over 2 years ago). What are my options? Does the PiMP ECU (listed on Stinger's...

    DIS Problem, Tach at 1/2, codes 223,224

    I thought I'd run it a few days to make sure. I took the old ICM off, cleaned and reinstalled it with no effect so I put the new one in. The tach is back up and it runs smoother again and idiot light is off. Must have been the ICM. I cleared the computor as well so I can check which (if...

    DIS Problem, Tach at 1/2, codes 223,224

    Thx. I placed my order for an ICM this morning and sure hope that's it. Sad part is that it's expensive and will be useless if I ever get the time for my turbo swap. HD

    DIS Problem, Tach at 1/2, codes 223,224

    I pulled off and reconnected everything without success but I'll try again. I don't think it's a heat issue though as it acts up right from a cold start. thx HD

    DIS Problem, Tach at 1/2, codes 223,224

    Hi all. From my searches it seems I might have an ICM problem but I'm not 100% sure. The tach is at 1/2 mast (once in awhile returns to normal). Pulled KOEO and continuous codes 223 and 224. Engine seems to miss a bit at times. I had the batt disconnected and after that the tach was...

    Mulling over the swap

    Update. I redid the head gasket on the NA until I have the time to do the turbo swap properly. As for the timing belt, I was able to get it off the crank pulley and put the new one on by jamming it between the pulley and guard and turning the crank. With the new one, you'll want to be...

    Mulling over the swap

    Found this in Stinger's tech pages. "7. Ideal results would give you 120-150psi in each cylinder for a turbo motor and 140-170 for a N/A engine. If your lowest psi is more than 20psi from the highest psi (140 and 120 for example) then you have a problem." HD

    Mulling over the swap

    All cylinders are within about 10% of each other and it doesn't seem to burn much oil. I stuck the batt in today and it fired and ran smooth. This is after not running for 3-4 months so I'm pretty happy about it. If the previous dip**** owner hadn't treated the car so poorly (used to be a...

    Mulling over the swap

    Thx. I was expecting lower readings from the TC, just wasn't sure what was acceptable. If I remember (can't find the paper I wrote it on) it was around 130lbs or so when I tested. My NA engine was around 165lbs (in the cylinders where the head gasket was still ok) Both engines have...

    Mulling over the swap

    ...maybe it's an issue unique to the DIS engine due to the crank sensor:shrug: I got the old belt off anyway by stuffing it between that guard and then turning the crank. Not sure if I wanna do that with a new belt though. I'll probably swap the cam as per Dr (and it seems almost...

    Mulling over the swap

    Thx. Ya the 91 is a DIS and has a roller cam. So in short use the: Everything from the 87 TC. Use the cam and rockers from the 91 and possibly the intake. I've been printing off the stuff at Stingers site (and drooling over the headers etc.). The computor and wiring has me a bit leary...

    Mulling over the swap

    Couple more Qs Seems the timing belt is quite difficult to get off the crank pully. I don't have to remove the pulley do I? A few of the head bolts on the exhust side seem pretty gummed up and a new set is $70. I don't really want to waste the money on the NA engine unless its something I...

    Mulling over the swap

    ....been awhile, Life and all. It appears that my 91 stang may have blown a gasket. 70-90lbs compression in 3+4 and aweful knocking from where the motor goes (Car is in beautiful shape though). It so happens I have an 87tc next to the shed with some body damage and rust on inner...
