I have 10k into my '88T project car so far, (and another estimated 15k to finish it). That includes purchase price ($1900).
My n/a dd is up to 10k , but its pretty much finished and I've owned and driven it daily for 7 yrs as well. All Canadian $$
I was hoping someone could lmk if the "generic" clips from HPF for the wiring harness are the wtg or if there are ways to change the inj. themselves to accept the stock harness clips? I bought some 550's for my build awhile ago, but didn't get clips. The inj. I have don't fit the stock harness...

As long as your piston-to-bore clearances are within spec, the use of non-forged stockers should be fine if your not exceeding much over stock boost levels. Coating the pistons and balancing the bottom end are always good practices. Judicious choice of rings is important as well. All these...
Garrett turbos' GT35 40r is spec'd for that kind of h/p. Act & Spec clutches both have units to hold that kind of power as well. gl with your build, I'm looking for the same kind of numbers myself in my build.
Bought my '87 n/a in early 2000 with 204,000 km's, today it has 297,000 km's. 10,000 mi./yr. isn't that much, but it is my dd. Aside from a headgasket, water pump and clutch, all the rest has been elective. (My '88T is another story entirely). Gl with your new ride!
My '88T project is slowly coming together, but my harness was in rough shape due to an out of car garage fire. I found a decent '88T auto harness but the car is manual. Are there any important issues to consider by using this harness? ty for your thoughts on this. Merry Christmas folks!
