    84 SVO intake

    for all intensive purposes, yes. there are some cosmetic differences, but thats about it. I have a full '86 SVO intake on my car, and it looks identical to many of the ones i see in the JY. -Ryan

    wiring questions for my swap while I build the engine tonight, help ASAP!!

    i have dealt mostly with the '87 turbocoupe myself, so i'm not sure if things are the same for the '86. I would try to use as much wiring as you possibly can that matches the ECU. This means you need the single wire O2 sensor, the 4 wire would not work with the '86TC ECU. This ECU only has...

    84 SVO intake

    The '84 cars had a different layout for the intake system. They had 4 runners in a row. This design was not all that great, and allowed no room for creativity, or porting. Anything after '84 switched to the much more efficient "4 square" intake which im sure we are all familiar with. They allow...

    i need help

    Welcome to Stangnet dwilson8, and the wonderful world of car tuning! What have you done to the engine so far? and what year/model is it? probably one of the easiest ways to gain considerable HP, is a larger exhaust sytem, and a header. (maybe from a ranger) The more you spend on an exhaust...

    Tach and Turn signal problem

    Ran into a problem with some electrical on my car the other day: My tach and turn signal went crazy at the same time. The tach just doesnt work anymore, sits there on 0 all the time. The left turn signal turns on solid, the right still blinks, and both sides blink when the emergency flashers...

    Front suspension rebuild

    I'm looking to redo my front suspension. anyone have experience with this? approximate costs and different options? options for shocks/bushings/sway bars? anyone make A-arms for MII's? I have springs i got from Racer Walsh, but havent put them in. I'm looking to do that in the next few days...

    Help me get my '89 2.3 L coupe running. I need advice.

    Actually, a "great little work car" would be one that ran, but had a few problems. To check for spark, remove a plug wire and put an exrta plug(or remove the one from the engine) and lay it on the fender while you crank it. You'll definutely see a spark if it is sparking. checking for...

    Rough idle/Low vacuum/Bogged down accel

    Current Update well, i spent a littl more time on it tonight, found out that the ignition timing was about 10*ATC with the spout in!! :bang: no wonder! the auxilury sproket must have jumped a tooth or two. i'll keep that in mind next time. so i got it back on spark base=10*BTC, and...

    Rough idle/Low vacuum/Bogged down accel

    been trying to tweek the car some. although it is fast, its still not putting out the power that it aught to. the idle has been rough since i started it last week, and it has never had more than 6" vaccum on idle. it still shows 10psi on WOT, and 20-25" vacuum on decel... swapped my volvo...

    Anyone ever used an HKS BOV?

    I'm talking about the SSQV. The one that looks like an overgrown bullet. It seems like these are of a good design. I might have access to a used one. (will find out the price tomorrow) And i can get a new one for just over 200 at the local speed shop. not bad considering some prices ive seen...

    IT RUNS!! just a problem or two

    20*BTC is what the scanner suggested i set the base timing to. it seems like a lot to me too. what do most people around here run? 10* base? i hoped the volvo bypass was going to be a temporary solution. unfortunately, it seems "temporary" is a lot shorter than i thought. time to caugh up the...

    IT RUNS!! just a problem or two

    Hello again Stangnet. Recently finished my turbo swap, what a job! 75% custom work and fabrication. today, i worked through a few electrical bugs, (providing power to the ECU on start/run, and backwards fuel pump wiring) and got it to start. got the timing set on 20*BTC with the spout pulled. It...

    SVO oil cooler gasket

    I'm looking to replace the gasket on the water-type oil cooler from an '86 SVO. (between block and oil cooler) it is a little larger than the gasket of the filter that attaches to it. that would make my job too easy. :rolleyes: anyone know where to get a replacement for this gasket? maybe an oil...

    no intank fuel pump!!

    Here's one for you guys... Will an external fuel pump (near the tank) work without an intank pump? My concern is that the fuel might leak back into the tank from the pump and leave it dry for the next start. Anyone know for sure if this is a problem or not. My '75 has no intank pump. Thanks...

    Rev limit on an LA3?

    after a quich check of them, i think the TwEECer seems the best/easiest. I'll do some checking on Turboford too. I also found the snEEC-IV. they all seem to be about the same but different :) they're all around $380. Maybe i can arrange to get one for christmas... Thanks for giving me a...
