So it doesn't matter what gear it is in, as soon as I start hitting boost at 1lbs i hear it started to make a whooshing sound or like my tial wastegate is opening up and it stalls out at 5lbs of boost. I checked the threads here and people said it was a boost leak. I replaced all the couplers and Tbolt clamps. I replaced the wastegate, I ran my backup BOV. I took the housing off of the cold side of the turbo and resealed it. My old seal was completely gone and I noticed that my turbo feed line had leaked down a little oil and it got into the cold side housing. I checked the turbo inlet tube for cracks. I checked the vacuums line. I did the soapy water spray down test. i took off the upper intake manifold and gave that a new gasket. I have spent almost 20 hours of time working on it trying to figure it out. Are there any other places I should be looking and checking?
Hey, I was going to put this in the vendors area but not a lot of traffic goes through there. I bought a header 8 months ago and he hasn't responded in months. I paid $640 for a header and he bailed on me. Id like this message to go around so nobody else will get burned like me. I have months of emails to back up my claim. He is a man that nobody should give business too. He is just your common crock piece of . He wont answer his phone or emails. STAY CLEAR OF HIM! Please pass this around to other websites.
Hey guys. My passenger door has a big rust bubble and after talking to a local shop, it will cost a lot of money to fix cutting it out and welding a new piece in. So I am looking just to buy a new door. I found one but it is for a 86 turbo coupe. Will that work on my 87? Is the interior different (the door lock and unlock buttons).
So my car has been leaking oil pretty badly. 2 mechanics said my oil pan gasket was leaking. So i just had that fixed. Turns out that isn't the problem. I am finding oil leaking from the bell housing. There are blotches on the metal where it looks like oil over time has seeping through over time. I don't know what else it could be... Now I remember reading many years ago that there aren't any replacement seals for that anymore???
Nothing can go pop right in with this car. I swear... I need to get a hold of Jangus to see if he can make me a spacer to prop up my turbo so it wont be laying on the pipe...
So I am buying a new block that I can build while I drive my car around. What are the weak points in the rotating assembly? I heard the rod bolts are one weak point. I'd like to shoot for 450hp at the motor on pump gas.
Sorry guys for this post. Jangus is seeing if he can fix up a stinger header for me but in the middle of our PM his inbox filled up so it wont let me send my message and this is the only way I can think of to get his attention.
Does anybody have any experience with the stinger center mount headers? I can't find a picture of the to see if it is a D shape like the ebay ones (Which from all other angles besides the angle that shows the , look like the stinger headers) or an oval that perfectly matches up to the head. Here is a D shape one that I see alot. http://www.xs-power.com/ford-turbo-manifolds-2.htm
I want to get mustang wheels so I can put some skinny tires on them and have some fun around a private parking lot where I work. Would a 15x7 wheel clear my brakes?
I believe these will work but I am not sure about all the specs. Can anyone confirm 100% these will work. It would be greatly appreciated! http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/0280150845-65lb
My car is in need of new shocks and I'd like to get new springs along with it. Does anybody know what are the stiffest shocks made for Tbirds? Also what are the dimensions of turbocoupe springs. I'd like to get a higher spring rate but I don't even know what the stock spring rate is. Thank you for your help.
