    Red/White Wire Behind Intake?

    It's for the temp gauge, it's about 6" below the oil sender in the block...probably have to see/attach it from under the car.

    WHAT SHOULD i DO

    I wouldn't pay more than it's worth, or get it if you have no reason to have it...sentimental or not, it's just a car in rough shape.

    Severe Backfiring and idle issues 92 2.3T

    You've got a boost leak causing the late spool and also making it go rich and backfire...

    turbo?

    You can't cheaply and easily turn your T3 into a hybrid...it would still be choked down by the stock exhaust side (which is more expensive to upgrade both sides than to get a real hybrid). www.forced4.com makes an intake from vam to turbo, though it only works with stock turbo location...

    WEIRD NOISE???

    You need to do some checking yourself...we can't help much with the info you gave. You need to figure out WHERE the oil was coming from (my guess is the turbo outlet), try to figure out a more accurate place where the rattle was coming from (could be the turbo, could be the cat shield, could...

    84 SVO: Any advantage to go with Mass Air Flow system instead Speed Density ?

    Won't effect how it runs...I haven't had one in my SVO for years. It just uses a default value if it's not plugged in...eliminating ACT timing control.

    Wiring Issues - New swap, Need Help

    I would say you have some stray red/green striped wires in the harness that need to be soldered together. They are the signal return wires that go to all the sensors. When plugs are eliminated, the red/green wires are left open. Since they all run together in the stock harness, not doing so in...

    84 SVO: Any advantage to go with Mass Air Flow system instead Speed Density ?

    He sure did. Of course it runs like crap right now, the 30lb injectors are the cause. It's getting ~ 15% less fuel than it should at all rpms. I'd stop driving it until the right injectors are installed. That's a good way to blow it up.

    Timing belt replacement without crank pulley removal??

    I've done it...I had to bend the guide out of the way to get the belt back in (cut the old one off), but it is possible. I think I outlined the process on here years ago. I don't know if it's in the archives, I doubt it.

    turbo?

    Sounds like some fine choices. To check pricing, just add it all to the cart. You can see the total without checking out. I don't sell BOV's, get one off eBay if you want an RFL.

    My new engine

    I'm trying to figure out if you are joking or not. I get the impression you aren't though. No way in hell would I even think of trying to make 500hp with a ported E6. That's like restrictor plate racing. Sure it's fast but it's a hell of a lot faster without the restrictor. sleeper_inc...

    HELPPPPP!!!!!!

    As I assume you know, I sell complete exhaust kits too. Matter of fact, I'm the only one that does so. As stated on my site, the FMIC kit is a bolt on deal. No mods needed. Rotating the intake is for aesthetic reasons, not for performance.

    Were can i pick up a intercooler???

    Good to see the uninformed complaining about the pricing on my complete kit when I'm the first company to offer an intercooler kit for turbofords for less than a grand...I swear people would still complain if it was 125 bux even if I drove to their house and installed it myself, then threw in an...

    turbo?

    You aren't going to find a "catback" exhaust for an SVO because all the power is in the "catforward" section...you'll need to replace the entire exhaust with 3" or 3" to dual 2.5 to see the gains. Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords magazine just dyno'd my dual exhaust kit in the latest issue and their...

    turbo upgrade

    Many factors are involved, what kind of power do you plan to make? What RPM do you want that power in? How much you want to spend?

    2.3 TC HELP!!!!

    Turbo is toast, pull the hose going into it to verify. Once you look inside, you should see the carnage, or be able to touch the compressor wheel and see that's it's got a ton of play in it... Next step would be to replace it with a used one and see how it runs.

    Need help with Fuel pump realated.

    Is this an SVO or a turbo swapped car (used to be non-turbo)? I'd try to scan for codes, simply because the inability to do so would indicate a bad ecu, which could also cause the fuel pump to not kick on.
