saw another bird at a car show June 13, 2009, 11:25:22 PM not quite as nice as mine though:toilet: Mines in the background though:DI can say I dont like the 4 eye front end with the 87/88 bumperI also dont think I've ever seen a car with a wiring harness as hacked as that one is. Never seen that many napa fuse holders in one spot either. Unfortunately I didnt get any real good shots of the hacked wiring. Looked like he was tuning it with a voltmeter on the passenger seat so probably using the narrowband O2 sensor. Quote Selected

saw another bird at a car show Reply #6 – June 14, 2009, 06:21:05 PM Yes this thing is a RIGJOB to the max. The guy is seriously OUT there and well, if he can make it break 14's Id be impressed. Anyway theres this kid that works at the napa uptown. He has a 2.3 hatch stang. Its a speed density 2.3, not maf, so what, pre-91? Anyway he swapped a TC 2.3 with an ebay t3/t4 (way too big). Hes running the STOCK N/A wiring and ECU with the SD. He said its because he couldnt find the TC computer. Oh yeah hes also running a stock A4LD from the stang. Hes having problems controlling boost and well, all kinds of issues but its drivable.But to the point, rigjob guy above basically was impressed with the build, and was basically telling this poor kid that the NA electronics were superior to the turbo electronics, and that the fueling issues of running more than 0 psi could be solved by running a nitrous solenoid to the intake on a pressure switch, set at whatever psi you start leaning out at.... supplied with fuel.Yeah.Instead of doing it right.Lets just rig it up some more.By the way vinnie, its NOT a WIP. This is his car, how he drives it. I havent noticed anything change since I first saw it a couple years ago. Except for his DVOM narrowband setup. LOL Quote Selected

His particular installation could certainly use improvement (some support under the bumper cover to cure that waviness under the header panel) but I like the concept. Quote Selected

saw another bird at a car show Reply #11 – June 15, 2009, 08:48:00 PM its probably one of those little wire headlight covers like they used to have in j c whitney on top of the headlight bucket. Maybe the only neat thing he did to that car Quote Selected
