    Detonation when turbo'ing an N/A

    The thing that sucks here is that I JUST bought four brand new 93 stock injectors last week before the big poof. My only other option would be to use the ones from the T-bird. Is that a definate must, or can I get around it with lower boost setting for now?

    Detonation when turbo'ing an N/A

    DAMN. So if my fuel trim goes lean, thats instant detonation? So if a vaccuum hose pops off my car, (which happens a lot really), my engine could just blow from that? That's sucks ass. I might just run like 4 pounds for a good long time. It will still be better than the electric blower I...

    Detonation when turbo'ing an N/A

    That's a Rodger. Now, how does one go about knowing your boost level? I assume it involves adjusting the wastegate stop screw? (if so equiped)

    87 2.3 DEAD AS HELL!!!

    It did this while I was driving. One second I'm taking off at a red light, the next I'm blocking an intersection. At first I thought it was the collision shut off switch, but no such luck.

    Detonation when turbo'ing an N/A

    Is it that likely to happen? Was doing an old post search and came across startling photos. How low should I start out my boost during the tuning phase, and whats the top end you would run? I don't want any smashed pistons.

    87 turbo coupe motor up for grabs

    I also have a strong running 93 2.3 N/A that I will have no use for once this is over. With a glass pack, and ram air intake (and T-5) this thing was running a little better than stock I think. This one will have to go as a bare block if anyone needs it though, I will most likely be attempting...

    87 2.3 DEAD AS HELL!!!

    I swapped one I had laying around and nothing changed. But it was an 88 computer and the electrical system is 93.

    gas light

    I don't have a working speedo, but I can say this, I have driven an estimated 20 miles with my needle buried in the E zone. They'll usually give a good sputter a few minutes before your all the way out. By contrast, the GT I had for a while stopped dead the second the needle touched the red...

    87 turbo coupe motor up for grabs

    I'm getting a TC monday. I'm taking the wiring system and turbo related components, but I'm not going to bother rebuilding it. From what I am told the engine doesn't run but the plan was to rebuild it, and the owner ran out of money and junked it. So, if anyone wants the block to rebuild when I...

    87 2.3 DEAD AS HELL!!!

    Hey, I was thinking about modding all that stuff over to the stang from the T-Bird. If you want it when I'm done, maybe shipping plus a little dough for the troubles, That might go down. Assuming I can fit the T-bird body stuff to the stang body in a way that satisfies me, You might just get...

    87 2.3 DEAD AS HELL!!!

    My 2.3 died. All I know is that when I turn the key, the relay box wont activate. So no fuel pumpy, no other cool stuff like starting and driving. Now, I know it's conterversial, but I have a rebuilt 88 block in my back yard, and I'm buying a turbo coupe monday with a blown motor. It is my...

    T-5 Rear Seal install

    I am attempting to do this with the trans in car to keep from having to drop it, as I don't have any helpers for getting it back in. I already have the drive shaft and cross member dropped, and the tail shaft unbolted. I remeber it being a pain in the ass to get the tail shaft to seperate, but I...

    93 Steering wheel conversion question

    I didn't do the steering wheel conversion when I installed the T-5, and I may end up not doing it at all. There where going to be fitment and appearance issues. But I still some how messed up the Air Bag circut, because now the light blinks.

    T-5 Problem

    It seems I am losing gear oil from my rear seal. I was wondering, did I put in too much? Or is the seal just crap. What is the proceedure for changing it, and where do you guys get them? I tried autozone, and they didn't carry it.
