    1992 LX Build thread!

    yeah, i remember reading that thread awhile back. so you used the SN95 TPS and IAC, and just spliced on their plugs? and is there a difference between their V6 and 4.6/5.0 TB's?

    ok, i got the stock IHI from him, plus $80 back, not a bad deal really. also purchased a set of box-style intake manifolds! so the question now is, will the older style throttle body, and NA fuel rail work?

    thats why i had been hesitant, you get what you pay for. but i decided i need to get this project rolling a bit faster, so i will be grabbing the stock T3 and IHI this guy had, and he's going to throw some cash back my way as well. and he has a fuel rail as well. also bidding on a set of newer...

    see, thats what im trying to decide now, if i want to make the investment in this turbo. we're talking about a header, external wastegate, custom downpipe, and im not even sure if this thing is too big for my application. and it does have a return line, i do need a feed line. but im pretty sure...

    thanks, i appreciate it. and damn, that sucks that the E6 will not work, that means im going to have to use an aftermarket header, which i was trying to avoid for now due to cost. but oh well, this seems like a very soild turbo and i would like to use it. i just emailed Stinger to get his advice...

    I know nothing, I'm Trying to get it identified now by a friend of mine. ETA: the intake wheel measured at 57mm, and exhaust was 70mm if that at all helps. and if it doesnt, what is that compared to other 2.3T turbos? a bit big?

    well thats good to hear on both counts. just need to piece the rest together, going to look at that motor at 4 today, HOPEFULLY this guy follows through. at the price with a new turbo and distributor, its my best bet by far. then i'll get the head kit ordered and tear down the bottom end and...

    now for the exhaust planning: i'll start off with an E6 and port it a bit myself, and then continue down with a purchased 3" downpipe. i will probably have the rest of the system built at a local shop, and purchasing the rest is a bit more pricey then i think a local shop will charge. and i may...

    central Texas EDIT: well, i ended up ordering everything below, i think its going to do it for suspension for now. the rear springs are sagging, and i think one is broken as its sitting 2" lower than the rest, so this needed to be done before i put more strain on it with a new motor. FRPP...

    wow, thanks, never heard that before. i will make sure to have him get me the casting number if i do get it also, for those that did a engine swap, did you replace the k-member? im tempted to grab a tubular, but im kind of on a time crunch and need to get this done ASAP, and that would put it...

    i'll keep that in mind, thanks. i'll see what the local places want in labor. still waiting to hear back about the motor, guy is being a bit flaky. if this guy doesn't come through, the guy that im buying the FMIC and kit from has a complete 88 TC motor as well, and i think i could work a...

    he claims 65k, my guess is it rolled over to 165k. either way i decided i'll re-ring it and replace the bearings. once i get it i will decide if it needs the hone or not. and since im on a bit of a budget, i'm going to pick up the Boport complete top-end kit and have a local shop do the work...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    ok. i was supposed to see it this evening, but we had to re-schedule. the main thing i am debating is if getting it re-ringed is necessary. i won't really know until the time i tear it apart, but from what i understand the bottom end is pretty bullet proof ALSO: i found a good deal on a large...
