    pulling the block today, had some questions.

    That would be cool, but that rack looks a bit different then mine. I heard that the rack changed in 89, my car is 87 what year did that come off of?

    pulling the block today, had some questions.

    Ah fuck... I already unbolted the bell housing.... So then .... I need to jack up the front of the transmission before I pull the block..... As for the power steering... Yes, I've driven this car without it... Its not that bad, what I wanted to know is if I can do something like pull the pump...

    pulling the block today, had some questions.

    #1: will I need to put a jack or something to hold up the transmission? Because I didn't see any transmission mounts >.> And #2: is there any way to safely delete the power steering?

    Horsepower increase from tuning stock turbo from 7psi to 14psi

    Well how Do I get the afr numbers? I mean other then buying a $400 wideband.... All I know is as of right now it runs better all around with the new AFM then it did with the old one. Is it really that dangerous to run the Lex AFM on a whats for the most part other then an intake a stock setup?

    Horsepower increase from tuning stock turbo from 7psi to 14psi

    Well I dont have any numbers but before the AFM went on it was so rich that you could smell it from the drivers seat at a stop and my buddy didn't want to ride behind in his vert :P now the car is running much better, more throttle response, smoother idle etc.. Also my car doesn't pull to...

    The worst part is I think it IS the pump thats leaking..... cause I changed both upper hose's and the pressure hose doesn't look as though it's leaking... So... Say Friday night just before the autoX I Drain my pump, and disconnect it... can I run the car without any power steering just for that...

    Ghetto Leak plugs?

I already tried Replacing both lines coming off the powersteering tank and that helped for all of one day... what I want to know is... Are there any straight...

    Horsepower increase from tuning stock turbo from 7psi to 14psi

    Hmm, I guess as long as this is up here... what would you guys say I'll get with a Lex AFM, Ported head, 3in' turbo back, and an intake? I'm hoping for at least 250~260RWHP once the rebuild is done.. and i'll go from there :P thinking about picking up a light weight crank pulley before the...
