    1992 LX Build thread!

    i actually replaced that sensor, i'll check and make sure that it is still connected. and i believe the speedo cable is the same, i just changed the gear and didnt notice any issues when re-installing it. so the sensor in the heater hose is the one for the fan to kick on at operating temperature?

    i'll see what all is included with the "un-assembled lower block" all he specifically mentioned was pistons. and im debating between the big valve and regular rebuilt now, if i pick the parts up. i've been wanting to go turbo, but at the same time i really dont want to pull the engine out to do so.

    ALSO, found some parts on CL i may pick up. $350: built big valve head $250: rebuilt factory turbo head $80: dis-assembeled bottom end with turbo pistons i was thinking of grabbing the big valve head and pistons. then, in theory all i would need for a turbo swap would be the turbo and...

    Thanks man, I appreciate it. But no real rush. If you find one great, if not I have a spare almost new stock one as an extra if hers goes out. And I've been debating the Ranger header swap myself. Also need to mod my intake box a bit.

    1992 LX Build thread!

    Now that I think about it I was starting to charge it when it started to squeal and the pressure went way above safe. And I will plan on the new alt for her, I paid somewhere near $110 for mine if I remember correct. I'm gonna go ahead and order her fan. The Taurus fan should be enough, correct...

    1992 LX Build thread!
