    Building a t3/t4 turbo. Would this work?

    Hey thanks a lot for the resource TurboFlush, I'll give em a call on monday. I've read, and it makes sense, that the water cooling does virtualy nothing for you while the engine is running... but, it helps take some of the heat away from the bearings faster when you turn the engine off...

    Fixing turbo exhaust leaks. Need advice b4 I start.

    Thanks, wasnt sure if the rag would be enough. Anything else i might look at/fix/replace on the turbo while i have it off? I tried the bolts before i put the turbo on the car, and they were stuck... maybe now they have seen some heat again, they will be a little more cooporative. and if not...

    Door speakers

    I installed some 6" kenwood speakers w/ tweeters in the doors. I used the kenwood grills, the cranks clear, and they sound great. I'll get some pics up in the next day or two. It was a bit of custom work though, my door had holes for speakers, but I could not use it, because it would have hit...

    Effects of running no exhaust

    I ran my 2.3N/A motor with a longtube headman header (two piece) and 2.5 exhaust w/ cat & high flow muffler. It was a decent sound. Then my header came apart at the collector, the tubes still lined up, so it wasnt completely open, but just that was enough to make it sound like a V8, and make a...

    platinum spark plugs?

    Ignoring the little squabling, i'll share my experience with plugs. I was running my N/A 2.3 with some bosch platinum plugs, and it ran great. When i did the turbo swap and left the platinums in there, it ran like crap. I was using stock SVO plug wires. (what are those?) I switched plugs at...

    turbo whistle!!!

    I dont know if it has anything to do with your problem, but my vacuum pulsated all the time. when i replaced the PCV valve with a for motorcraft one made for an 86SVO turbo, it made the vacuum stable. I assume my old PCV was also leaking boost. It seemed to smooth everything out. do some...
