Engine Tech / bigger turbo swap
Im putting on a new header, turbo, dump tube and turbo elbow on sunday. I'll start taking pics friday of the stuff. One question, what the easiest way to get the brace off that holds the turbo up when the header is unbolted?

Suspension/Steering / more power= broken parts
Soon i'll have around 350-360RWHP. All i need is the stand alone computer from stinger to have that power. With more power, I know things can break. My question is what parts should I look at replacing with upgraded parts to prevent any bad situations.

Engine Tech / Fuel pressure
I'll be adding a precision T3T4 turbo (I'll be selling my Garrett airesearch T3 after i get it rebuilt along with the header im currently using. So send me a PM if youre interested) here pretty shortly as soon as a get my header and a few other things back from Jangus. With this bigger turbo, id like to turn up The fuel pressure to run my injectors at a 90-95% pace but i was wondering what the fuel pressure needs to be at to accomplish that. I have an autometer electric fuel pressure gauge to monitor it. Any tips or help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Engine Tech / volvo head swap
Does anybody know anything about the 2.3 volvo DOHC head swap? If i did hurt the piston rings, the whole motor will have to be taken apart so i figure its the perfect time to build it.

Engine Tech / blue smoke
whenever i start my car up a cloud of blue smoke comes out of my exhaust. it keeps putting out clouds of blue smoke until the engine gets hot and then even if i rev it, no blue smoke comes out. Leaving work friday i did a little fish tail in the parking lot and when i stopped at the exit a cloud of blue smoke was all around my car. Any ideas on what this might be?

Engine Tech / BAD oil leak
I just recently did a head swap, i just finished it up today with the final checking of the head stud bolts and i notices there was a bad oil leak. Its all over my cam pulley. Ive adjusted the valve cover gasket acouple times and that didnt held. I had to tap out the cam because the bolt wasnt going in so boport told me to tap it out so i did. So could there be oil coming out of the cam bolt hole or should i replace my ranger valve cover gasket?

Engine Tech / timing belt tensioner problem
Im not getting enough tension on the timing belt to where i can slide the belt on the tensioner pulley. The plate has that bolt hole that allows it to pivot back and forth when putting on the belt, the bolt has and gap above it when the belt is on but when the belt is off, the gap below it. I hope that makes sense. My friend and i (he also has a turbo coupe that he has done this stuff on) cant remember if the gap should be above or below it the bolt.
