    volvo intercooler...radiator?

    Not sure about the Volvo rad. If the inlet & outlet are in the right place it should work. I know a Ranger rad will work. And they are a lot more common in the JY than a turbo Volvo. Probably a lot cheaper new too.

    2.3 n/a + Megasquirt - Been done?

    Yeah, the 19# should be ok, might have to bump the fuel pressure a bit. I'm thinking possibly 24# because I've noticed that when I get on it, with the pedal to the floor it accelerates slower than if take my foot out of it a little. Possibly not getting enough fuel at WOT. Its a pretty big...

    2.3 n/a + Megasquirt - Been done?

    OK, the crimper showed up yesterday so I'll finish the patch cable today. The MS has been updated for Ford sensors, I still need to solder in the internal USB adapter & then it's ready to be installed. Probably won't put it in until spring, the car will get parked for winter in about a month...

    2.3 n/a + Megasquirt - Been done?

    Haven't been able to get as much done as I wanted to. Always seems to happen that way, no big deal. Waiting on the crimp tool for the patch cable. Radio Shack is useless now unless your looking for crappy toys or pay as you go phones. The TB & upper intake are finished. Right now I'm a little...

    1990 Notch eletric fan not working??

    My '90 doesn't even have a fan right now. Took it out 2 years ago because it wasn't working. Overheated sitting in a friends driveway running for about 20min, fan never came on. Its made me nervous a couple times but never puked any water.

    2.3 n/a + Megasquirt - Been done?

    The header is on & the EGR is totally gone. Possible small gain, hard to tell with a butt dyno. Might have hurt the O2 sensor, I hit the hot end w/PB Blaster to get it out. Runs good down the road, some stalling & the idle floats from 600-1200 RPM when cold, seems OK when warm. The Megasquirt...

    Jacked up mustang?

    I've been thinking about this since I read this post a few days ago. OK, here goes. The back is easy, longer springs. To do it right You'll want longer & adjustable control arms to keep the drive shaft angles right. Possibly a longer drive shaft but @2-3 inches shouldn't be needed. watch the...

    2.3 n/a + Megasquirt - Been done?

    Hope to install the Ranger header in a couple days. Welded the EGR bung shut & drilled a new hole for the O2 sensor, the wideband sensor needs to be on top, the factory sensor location is on the bottom. Once the new bung is welded on I'll weld the factory bung shut & put it on the car. I'm...

    Car has not power after battery??

    Clean all your grounds. My '90LX (195k mi.) did this earlier this summer. No electrical anywhere, very dim if any lights on the dash when you turn the key on, no lights, even the seat belt/key in ignition bell was very quiet. Replaced the starter, fixed for ~2 weeks and it did it again. had...
