Good looking car. I look forward to the progress to come.

LOL. I am sorry, GC89, and everyone else kind enough to read my thread. I have been weighed down with a longer work schedule(I'm sometimes gone 10 days at a time), relationship(life) obligations, and I will admit that buying the 89 turbo has taken away a lot of my time as well. Add to that, a...

No, they're sort of centered on the frame rail. This is why my tow hook comes straight out of one of the side holes, because it is bolted to the frame rail.

Ive never had the electrical internals go bad on a cps, just the external wiring and inner seal. If it were me, I'd buy a used one without reservation, and purchase a rebuild kit from www.twosrus.com I've done this to three different cps units in the past.

I saw that buildup last week over TX, but luckily, I had no flight ops over that period of time.

Yeah, can you post a pic?

Yeah, Comp springs sort of 'click' into those seats.

Yeah, basically the formula I've seen is, .5hp/cc of injector on E85. Basically 1600cc injectors for 800hp. I'm sure this isn't exact, just a gouge number.

1. I got my steering rack bushings from Ronnie K. He makes bushings for the rack, as well as front and rear subframe bushings. I installed these on my '88. Can't comment as to how they would fit any differently on an '89 2. I have the Diftmotion high pressure hose on my '88 as well. There's no...

Agreed- Not a great design as far as flow rate goes, but I just can't see my aftermarket turbo flow any more than stock, especially with an inline restrictor. And I already have to pull the pan on my 89...I don't wanna do the one on the '88 as well!

Upon further reflection, I am thinking that part of the issue may be the manifold itself. My HKS knockoff sits the turbo lower than stock, and I think that directly affects the height/angle of the drain line. This is probably aggravating the situation.

I would agree, but going to the pan requires me to remove the pan for welding. And since it is the stock location, and a better drain than stock, I don't see why I would have to change drain location. Since there's no deadline on this repair, I'm willing to try a lazy repair first, before trying...

Thanks for your input, guys. Upon disassembly, the front and rear seal rings look great, but I went ahead and ordered a rebuild kit for it, regardless. I will be fitting a transparent -10 silicone drain, and playing with the length to get the best angle I can, to the stock drain location. What I...

Looks good. Any info on what youve done to it? After all, this is a build gallery, not a built gallery. :)

Yeah, still not sure what the issue is. @GC89- The feed line was a 4an, now going to a 3an. Also added a .065" restrictor, but that's the smallest ever recommended for journal turbos.

My '88 project began having an Issue with serious, SERIOUS oil burning. I have a brand new, fully built 7MGTE, zero miles. Car had been started a dozen times, and driven only twice, for a total of about 1/2 mile, to load the piston rings. Later, it began developing the oil burn issue. At first...

Ive never personally seen a knock sensor go bad, but im sure it happens. I missed in the reading: have you tested resistance between your signal wire and ground? AKA- take the plug off each sensor, and probe the terminal inside against a good ground. If there is continuity, that means that...

Was the 3mm head gasket necessary for material removed from the deck surface? I would think if you were to use too thick of a head gasket, it will pull cam timing off slightly, due to the taller height between crank and cams.
