Stage 3+

[killinprixs]

hmm do you think the stage 3 would be good enough for my app?

[flybynite]

Yes you should be fine.. 

[killinprixs]

thanks Adam, you know how i appreciate your reassurance. :thinking:

i was bored so i slapped on a turbo that was sitting around, built by Flybynite w/ upgraded compressor,70mm wheel.   I think it works great with the 5 speed, i can actually make 15-16 psi now unlike the stock turbo.  Soon its getting clutch, 1.6 rockers and retune.

I've done nothing but an oil change to my car lately: Mobil 1 0w30 & an AC Delco PF52 filter. The 0w30 looked like water @ 91*F outside when I poured it. :laugh: You can tell by the oil pressure gauge that it pumps through the engine quite a bit quicker than a 5 or 10 weight oil. The red car will be due for an oil change soon, so I'm going to put 0w30 in it also(currently have 10w30 M1 in it).

It runs again! :laugh:

over the past few weeks I:
-Threw the oil pan back on it
-Threw in the new Getrag
-Replaced bushings on the shift arm
-Put the front end back together

it has no exhaust or ebrake, and the back end of the car still has a lot of rot to be dealt with unfortunetly...
I already replaced 1 brake line a while back, I have a new filler neck that needs to go in but from the looks of it I'm going to need/want new trailing arms, lateral arms, gas tank and am definitely going to need to have the body trailing arm mounts ripped out and replaced with new steel because they are rot central.

it runs halfway decent anyway, tough to tell with all the exhaust noise. It's a rough start at first though, dies a few times before the idle steadies. I think the injectors could be leaking. I need to stop fucking around and get a good new set of injectors (I think I have 3 sets of TGP injectors, 1 set of DOHC injectors and 1 set of 10 year old Ford blue tops that the car ran awful on - though I never tuned for them).

I just bought webhosting and a domain so I'll be posting repeatitive pics of it again soon enough.

Plugs, wires, temp sensor, Oil pressure sending unit.

Oh,
and a new (junkyard) trans

[z284pwr]

Getting really close to pulling to plug on ours.

Built motor had 6 cam lobes go completely flat, pulled it.  Put in a spare motor that has been sitting for a year in the corner.  It knocks bad.   :icon_mad: :icon_evil:

Built motor had 6 cam lobes go completely flat

How did that happen?? :icon_eek:

[dogginred90]

I pulled my engine and transmission out last week, changed oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket, oil cooler gaskets, rod and main bearings, and rear main seal. Getting transmission rebuilt in 2 weeks. Lets hope no more major issues for a long time. Painting the car in about 2 months.

[jerry455]

installed '98 lumina rear sway bar and 34mm front sway bar. feels really nice, much flatter corners.

I replaced the battery, changed the engine oil and filter, dropped the trans pan, cleaned it up, and replaced the trans pan gasket and trans filter, and refilled with fresh tranny fluid.. And of course drive it! :icon_twisted:  I missed this car!  Next it needs a fuel pump..
