    Good Compression??

    Oil level is correct and I just changed it. Yes the PCV system is sucking and operational. Oil does not look frothy or discolored. Still looks like it came out of the bottle. I have a spare oil cap I can try. Why would the oil cap cause this problem? Please explain...

    Good Compression??

    I am blowing my dipstick out constantly that's why I have been running compression checks. I have a one way valve in the PCV line and the correct PCV valve and it's new not blown. I even plugged the PCV and still it blows the dipstick out. I have no visible smoke out the tail pipe and it runs...

The dodge was at 180psi with a few pounds differeance between each cylinder and the chevy van at 150psi with a few pounds differeance between each cylinder. My mustang shows...

    Good Compression??

    Is that correct only 100 is good compression for a turbo 2.3? I did a compression check on mine because I started blowing the dip stick out at anything over 12psi of boost and I had 100 in all four. I thought 150 was good for compression, is it lower in the turbo 2.3 because the compression...

    Worth trying to salvage??

    If you use the string method make sure you keep the string level under the glass..if you pull up at all it will crack the windshield trust me. take you time and don't force it. A hot sunny day will help as the sealant will be easier to cut through. Beware though it will be real sticky too. I...

    Battery/Charging problems,

    Definitly sounds like a drain on the battery. Finding it will be the difficult part. First look at anything electrical you have installed. You may have thought you hooked something up to a switched power but is actually on a constant power. Gauges, amps, related radio equipment. Next look for...

    Really need help now!!!

    Yes this will affect it. I converted my 85 to an 89 harness and I forgot to plug in the clutch switch plug. I had the same problems you are describing. Pulled my hair out for two days trying to figure it out. Faint flickering MIL light, no start, clicking or poping relay under dash somewhere and...

    Tech Article Links

    I saw this post added to the Technical links thread.... I noticed that too so I fixed a bad link of mine that was not working. It would be nice if someone could go through there and clean out the garbage links or at least the posts. Perhaps people could update the links they previously...

    Just followed my own link and discovered I had never up loaded my color coded pin out comparison schematic. It should be up within a few minutes though.

    Can't find!!!

    You need to figure out which extra computer wires are running to these plugs. Once you figure out what each of these extra wires are you then need to figure out if they even need to be hooked up. As for matching the older plugs and the newer plugs up you will need schmatics for both and compare...

    Sorry, I thought you needed pictures of an pre86 to post87 dash swap.... I had just posted those SN95 dash pictures in a Fox body in that post for every one to see what it looked like. That wasn't my car. I got them off the web after doing a search. I have not switched to the SN95 style yet. I...

    whats better t3 or ihi

    I started to do a write up on it but havn't completed it. I am getting ready to pull the dash again this weekend to change it from grey to red. What pictures do you need? I will most likely finish my write up as well on the conversion. My first attempt to mount the dash was a failure, I did not...

    whats better t3 or ihi

    I'm still using the IHI on mine running about 17PSI. I like it, spools right around 2500 as stated above. I have no mods other than a K&N and an adjustable boost controller valve as I put everything in in stock form as it was in the 88 TC I got it from. No porting was done. I will soon be...

    How is this!!!

    I bought another car off this guy about 3 months ago. Nice guy but he will talk your ear off. Anyway that car is not worth what he is asking IMO. When I was down there it didn't have a battery and looked as though it had not been started in years. He's cleaned it a up a hair now from what I see...

    Stupid lincoln brake swap!!!

    This is the deal.... Both axles should measure the same distance from the housing end on each side regardless of the axle length. If they don't your axles and housing are not matched. The housing is wrong and most likely your axle bearing is not even riding in the correct spot on the axle...
