Engine Tech / 87 TC and needs help ASAP PLEASE!!!
Today I decided to do a tune up on my 87 TC. Now I have it all back together and it has a buck/miss/jerk? The parts I replaced were Cap, Rotor, Wires, Plugs, and I did a oil change. Its a stock car and stock intercooler also.

It runs fine for a sec then acts like it wants to die like a buck, then it picks its self up again. It does this at idle and if im driving normal.

If I go full throttle it acts completly fine. Boost is good to the stock 15psi, power is good, and there is no buck. But go back to driving it normal and its back to bucking/jerking. it died on me once and fired right back up.

Guys I really need to find this and get it fixed! Please help if you can, work comes at 5am

Engine Tech / Lets Start Modding This Turbo Coupe!!!
I know i've posted this twice but Im hoping to order my DP today after hearing yalls thoughts.:bowdown:

Ok Im looking to get started on some mods on this car. Everyone does things their own way and my way is to get the motor to a power level I can live with till I finish the rest. :)

Ok so here is the order I want to do things but I want yalls thoughts on this and help if you will.

1. I want to upgrade this exhaust. Im thinking a single turbo back 3in exhaust but Im not sure on how to go about it. I would say I need to order a 3in downpipe and have my ler guy go from there.

I would think since back pressure is the devil of a turbo that a strait 3in pipe to the back of the car would be the best way to go. But I dont want probs not being able to hear myself think. With all that said Im thinking 3in DP then 3in pipe with no cat to a 3in ler and dumped beside the trunk.

Main thing I want is flow and the second thing I want is to clearly hear that turbo whisle. :D



2. Is a Front Mount Intercooler, Blow Off Valve, and an Elctronic Boost Controller. I want to take the boost to around 16-18psi. From what I understand my car being a 87 means it has a tiny turbo on it and 18psi is the highest "safe" psi I should run.

3. Is I want to get and install the 1.9 Bo-Port Cam Kit. I want this cam because it looks like a great cam and to e honest I want a loppy motor that just sounds means. What I need to know here is if I can run this cam without having a tuning system and running on the stock computer system.

4. I want to get me a Moates burner and whatever system I need to run it to start playing with the tunning of my car. I've always wanted to learn this stuff and I know I can use it to make more power when I do upgrades and such. What all do I need to start this?

5. Its time to upgrade the fuel system with a 255 pump and a FPR.

6. I want to upgrade the turbo to a T3/T4 unit and take the boost up. Not alot but I want the 300hp range. I dont know that these motors are capable of in stock form. I still have a ton to learn...

Im hoping to have all this stuff done in this order by Feb-Mar and then I'll start on the susp. :)
