302 into 84 turbo Reply #45 – July 14, 2009, 10:08:21 AM Quote from: jangus;282063As far as using a Large VAM with a PC or PC-1 ecu, I never said it wouldn't work. It's still not correct, and it surely isn't functioning properly. Acceptably, but not properly. The Large VAM is 20% larger than the small VAM. It has a higher air flow versus voltage signal output than the small vam. The PC and PC-1 computers are going to see a certain voltage, and pull the corresponding airflow from the internal table, and it'll be a lean mixture because the ECU doesn't know you've put the larger VAM, with corresponding greater airflow, in the car. You may have it running, but unless you've compensated with a higher base fuel pressure, you're running lean. Lean means hot, and no one wants that with a detonation pr0ne turbo engine.Yup you are right. I did have to turn up fuel pressure. I also keep and eye on things by watching my gauges. So lean won't happen. Then sorry if we both got things twisted. Guess we both have our points to make and were kinda caught up! Oh well happens. Sorry if you think I was insulting you. I was never out to make it sound like that. I sir never had the benefits of turboford.net until 3yrs after my initial build. All I had to go on is what I could find to old fashioned way. Word of mouth. Then living in Mid mo finding anyone with knowledge of 2.3t and turbo coupes was limited. I did find one guy Bill Waters that has 30-40 turbo coupes and he pointed me in the right direction on where to get info. Witch back then was on the phone with http://www.tinyavenger.com/ Not sure they even had a site back then. Anyhow. Have fun turn up the boost eat those stangs and worry those vettes. Then make them lower there heads in shame cause they just got waxed but a fourbanger! Stuckman Quote Selected
302 into 84 turbo Reply #46 – July 19, 2009, 10:02:47 AM well, I've started tearing down the 84 to get it ready for the rear end swap and for a POR-15 treatment. It looks pretty good overall. The bad thing is, the 88 looks pretty good too other than those frame rails. I might just need to keep the 88 until I'm done with the 84 and then go real radical with it, Tubular frame from front to back, even cutting out the rear subframes and raising the rear suspension, and going with an all custom front suspension in order to really slam it down and still have room for something big. Anyone done a pro-touring aerobird yet? Quote Selected

I want to put the 351 into the 88.what about the cross member and motor mounts. Tne 83 had a 302 in it so the 351 went right in.what will i have to changeyou should probably start your own thread, also do some research, do a search of the site and I'm sure thise topic has been covered.
