    motor problem

    and also, alone with the turbo installed, it shouldnt be affecting the motor in this way to my understanding.. so we are totally stuck on this one, any help at all is appreciated

    motor problem

    ok so we finally got my motor started today while working on my 2.3 n/a to turbo conversion... and when she starts it starts fine, but then the revs go all the way up to the limiter. weve checked the throttle cable to make sure it wasnt stuck or something... and also at the vacuum lines to make...

    The svo's revenge!

    how do you think that turbo will spool up on the svo? as much as i know about those turbos is that they are big and they take a while to spool up (worried about your rev limits) but once you hit boost its balls to the walls

    couple'a questions

    i was just about to post up that nothing has worked so far since we were at it tonight for a couple hours trying to hoist the engine up and try to swing the pan out, but to no luck. i think we may just disconnect the tranny since all the housing bolts are fairly accessable. once that comes out...
