SVT-I have my old t2 garrett if you need a second for your "TT ranger". Lemme know. It's still in good shape, but could use a freshening. No leaks that I'm aware of(wasn't smoking). And has only very minimal shaft play. O2 housing is removed (2.25" :frown: )but you can have that too if you need it.

I just had to keep this ridiculously long thread going. :)

no, really... that's all I wanted to say. :)

haha yea im back..like i said.(maybe i said)..i was going to start doing things to my car once i get money..now that im workin in teh summer..its going to start happening(i hope)..its not like i NEEDED to fix the overboost just yet..it only happens when i get past 120km..and those are only when i feel heavy footed..i honestly dont even no what a wastegate is..so i wouldnt no how to fix that in the first place..im gonna start lookin for a t2 intercooler/radiator combo(anyone got for sale?)..cause im guessing thats still the easiest install compared to other IC's?..then get a fwdperf ecu..bigger injectors..(804 or the 20% ones..i have no clue?)..and then rely on your guys feedback to tell me what i need to make me kill rice without breakin anythin...thx

If you have a normal muscle car you'll be able to kill rice without breaking anything, except their pride.

My stock t2 IC/rad is up for grabs. (87 Daytona Shelby) I've got all IC tubing (plastic O.E. stuff) air box and fan too if needed. K&N in the air box goes with it & is still in good shape, needs cleaned though. Haven't used this stuff since the old setup about four years ago, and everything was in good working order and should still be. Lemme know when you're ready and I figure you a price...

rice, hell yes, bitch-slap those stupid chrome muffler tips and "snake eyes" washer tips right off of them.

a good sport compact, though, you'll have to work at. but if you don't live on the west coast, or in new york/chicago/LA, you probably don't have to worry too much about these guys, as most people you see will fit nicely into the "rice crap" category :loser:

geeko,
an HTX-252? you got a license for that?

I do...

I do...

most definitly, i don't think i'd like a 30-thousand-dollar fine, and 2 years in prison (or more, can't remember) :eek:

always fun to find another operator out here on the net ;)

been a ham for 24 years. Had to give up the license and let it expire (lived overseas '75-'78) then came back to the U.S. and got a different call in '79.

I've got mostly Yaesu and Kenwood radios with two Icom's thrown in for I guess diversity.
Do you ever do any HF work? (or can you?)

i'm still working on my CW, but that's all that stands between me and HF (well, i'll need a rig...) i participated in the last field day, and that rawked! i had hits on 15m with the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and a really sweet contact from the radio room of the USS Missouri (The Pearl Harbor memorial ship). That was sweet.

I was thinking of using twin mitsu's actually. Should be about perfect with two feeding a 2.9 liter V-6. Almost free, too!

The Garrett is getting a rebuild from turbosunleashed with a .63 exhaust housing and an S60 compressor wheel, then it's going on my '89 C/S.

I am looking for a usable garrett for a buddy, though, PM me with a price or e-mail cobramccurdy@yahoo.com

svt..do u no how much hp u running with your cs at 15 psi..any other significant mods done to it?..thats sorta my goal..

daytona2..read pm plz

I'm not real sure. I'd guess somewhere in the 175-185HP range. Stock T-II's are supposed to be 176 HP with a smaller motor but flowing more air through a garrett turbo, and I have the TII IC setup (would like to do a dual core IC) but a tiny mitsu turbo. I also have a TAFT Stage 1 cam, and the computer is FWD-P spec tuned for 15 PSI even though the boost itself is controlled by a G-valve. It's also an auto, but it works very well with the turbo. I could get a little more HP if I switched from the super turbo muffler I have on now, but I don't want to be included with the local "domestic rice" crowd. I'll let the turbo make all the noise.

I'd like to push over 200 HP @ 18 PSI with the Garrett turbo when I get it built up. I think I have the fuel for it with +20's and an AFPR. There's a guy with a stock '93 Supra (turbo/auto) that's talking smack about my 'Stang, I'd like to hand him his azz with the 'Tona to really edumucate him.

when i slam it to the floor..it gets up to high rpms and it cuts out for a sec..then goes again. Rev limiter? I think SO...

Rev limiter? I think SO...

eww, ignition rev limiters SUCK :/ i muchly prefer fuel-cutoff limiters, where you rev up, and the computer retards the amount of fuel going to the engine to starve it down... you just drift up, and then back down, no slamming.

yeah, lean out a turbocharged engine at high RPM instead, that's the ticket!

I use MSD ignitions BECAUSE they have ignition-induced rev limits that are non-engine destructive.

If you are holding an engine agains a rev limiter you need to learn to drive and quit playing Gran Turismo. (2step users are exempt from this remark)

heh, yeah... only time i've ever felt my rev limiter has been when i wasn't paying attention to my shift points and let the car get faster then 42 in 1st or 65 in 2nd... doesn't happen much, 'cause it sucks when it does!

Rev limiter? I think SO...
i no what the rev limiter feels like..its not..its still just the fuel cutout/boost cutout that is doing it..im pretty sure..i think :smokin:

It should be similar to the 119 mph speed limiter-lose all power and boost goes to zero. Sometimes they are more violent, though.

But, is it cutout on his Jaytona?

Bowza,

Have you tried an aftermarket adjustable fuel regulator yet?

Why not?

holy crap, THIS thread is still alive? great!

hey, is your Jaytona ODB II complient? i just had a thought... if you can interface a computer with it, you can run black box programs, and WATCH to see what's killing the power. easy way to find a source- then you just have to find the problem, and the solution!

yea..very wierd how this topic is still goin..haha anyways..oddly my car has very rarely been doing it lately..so i havnt been worrying about it enough to get it fixed right away. gladly thou i had just paid off the car to my dad..and i can actually spend money on it now with the money i make..although my dad isnt 'down' for me tryin to make my car go faster cause he thinks it will be the end of me..so i think i will just have to buy parts online or something and install em myself or get em installed without him knowing(yet he gets to drive his SS el camino with so much nice handwork done to it, its not even funny :grinno: :iceslolan ..ahha..anyways thats it for now..ciao

*cough*

so... how's the car running now?


heh, i just *can't* let this thread die ;)

your stock fuel system can only support 14.7 psi of boost after that you will kill your motor
these are not bulletproof - i have killed 2 motors
you will also need bigger fuel inj. a adjustable fpr, and a bigger fuel pump along with the 3 bar and cal.
come check out www.turbododge.com

if you are hitting boost cutout, it should feel like alot of boost, then it violently shuts down for a sec. then starts going again
kinda like a miss in the engine but longer
the map tells the ecu to shutit down at 14.7 psi so you do not damage your motor.
i had the wastegate unplugged on my turbo caravan and i accidently shot to 16psi blowing a small chunk out of the top of the piston- straight through to the ring.

Gotta weigh in on this Bowza, I would bet your father has many more years driving experiance than you, I did some really dumb things driving in my teens, fortunatly none were serious enough to get me killed, always figured my guardian angle worked a lot of overtime, I have four kids, I worry everytime they get behind the wheel, I taught them best I could but like you, Dad is stupid and I know better, fortunatly no ones dead or mamed yet altought the oldest tried, rolled a 95 Mazda pickup at 70, walked away, talk about angle working overtime ..... ok off the soap box

I found a link explaining how to wire around the cat. sensors....what effect would have if you think it worked?

I found a link explaining how to wire around the cat. sensors....what effect would have if you think it worked?
http://www.miragelinx.com/howto/exhaust1.htm

what possesses you to think that this has any pertinence on the discussion at hand?

is that really an issue considering no one has had anything to say, in about 5 days.......and since there was already a forum about cats. , why not just throw it in there...

why would you want to wire around the cat?

it suppossedly turns off your little warnin light in the gauge panel if you have taken the cat. off....i was just wandering if anybody had ever heard or seen of such.

personally I don't, get a high flow cat, do your part for clean air, when you have kids you will understand my stance, I want my to be able to breath when they are older

personally about 5 months ago my cat was dented when i slid over an embankment while rounding up cattle...so as a temporary fix i just tacked a piece of pipe in ...im awaiting on shipment of a magnaflow cat currently.......and as far as future kids , do you really think a handful of cars here and there that dont have cats. is really an issue when compared to the people producing our fuel...take for instance exxon which turns out more pollution in a day than the entire car world....so what difference does it really make if i dont have a cat...and besides you drive a 1989 spirit according to your profile, which in my opinion is quite ironic if you are concerned about your kids welfare... and more than likely my kids will never have to worry about it such a dilema...and if the time does come, technology is advancing so fast that it would not be an issue

"let the future deal with it" eh? what a stupid idea. we ARE the future, to people 30 years ago... and we're dealing with the remainders of DDT, nuclear waste, millions of tons of garbage in landfills... yeah, we're taking care of it all right.

and as far as future kids , do you really think a handful of cars here and there that dont have cats. is really an issue when compared to the people producing our fuel...

YES. every. little. bit. hurts. If you were the only car that didn't have a catalytic convertor on it, it wouldn't matter much. but there are millions of cars on the road, and there are certainly plent of people who think "meh, one car can't hurt". one car doesn't hurt. but 1 car times ten thousand people DOES hurt. and as much as you'd like to think you live in your own little world, what you do affects everyone.

take for instance exxon which turns out more pollution in a day than the entire car world....

Reference please? and not some guy's website, but a .edu, or better yet a book reference to these numbers? I'm sure Exxon does turn out quite a bit of toxic waste every day- but they are also subject to rather strict EPA requirements that restrict what they can pump into the air.

besides you drive a 1989 spirit according to your profile, which in my opinion is quite ironic if you are concerned about your kids welfare

i don't see how him driving a family car has anything to do with his kid's welfare? a 4-door spirit is a relatively safe family car, that's reasonably good on gas milage, and easy to drive in bad weather. sounds like a good choice to me. You, however, ostensibly have a 2003 Dodge Ram, and a 1973 Chevy 2500 (25? i thought they hadn't added the 00 to them yet in '73). while i can't talk about the '73 much, except that i'm sure it guzzles gas, the other chevy is big, unsafe at speed in bad weather or good, and very fuel-inefficient.

and more than likely my kids will never have to worry about it such a dilema...and if the time does come, technology is advancing so fast that it would not be an issue

see the beginning of this post. and please, for what little hope your kids have, pay attention.

and one more, from a previous genious post...

is that really an issue considering no one has had anything to say, in about 5 days.......and since there was already a forum about cats. , why not just throw it in there...

oookay. Numbah one! this thread is NOT about cats, a cat, or even anything relating directly to the exhaust on a car. Numbah two! you contridicted yourself by saying that your question should be in the forum about catalytic converters, and then put it in Dodge > Nonspecific... i believe the answer here is self-explanitory.

Before you write back some middle-school flame of a reply, think about these things. Think long and hard... and then go put your hair out, your head is on fire.


*written because slantsixness isn't around to do it.*

Go Geeko !! Agree 100%, I wonder if speed freak feels that way about litter ...... but I do want to know the point about my Spirit?

haha...what a bunch of tree huggin hippies

haha...what a bunch of tree huggin hippies

sorry, but you're a fucking idiot. some of us would just rather have the place still around after they're gone.

speed freak, when you change your oil, do you just pour it down the drain? So tell me the problem with my Spirit?

We're off the subject again.
Is it cutout on his Jaytona or what?

I've been gone for awhile overseas and got back to see this darn thread still going.

Hmmm what's all this hippie and tree hugger SH!T?

I agree with pollution control, but not the "pollution control" that they have imposed on cars. There's really no point in reducing emissions more on Gasoline fueled vehicles equipped with catalyst systems. You can only go so far and reduce the emissions so much before fuel economy and power suffer the consequences of pollution controls. Alternative fuel vehicles have a better chance, but fuel cell electric vehicles are what has the best chance to keep us breathing and living here without the greenhouse gas effects, or just dropping dead and leaving the earth to the cockroaches...

Now, with that said, I will say that I have 1 "gross polluter", namely a '72 winnebago motorhome (a resto project). It's getting a fuel injection system from a 93 B250 Van, with the Cat and all the pollution goodies. The block, however is going to remain a 72 318-3 truck motor with the forged crank to avoid the "14,000LB vehicle Vs. wimpy crank syndrome" that's common in later 5.2's.

Now, if I could only find a couple extra turbos and some pipe.....

Slantsixness

Does that make me a hippie?

Hey, one more reply and we'll be at 100 for this thread! (the most replies of any Mopar thread at AF....) We should get an award! Ha!

heh. how's the FI changeover going? i've heard that those can be "fun".


"fun" meaning a brain-wasting pain in the ass.


i'm no tree hugger, but we should really leave the emissions stuff as intact as possible on our cars (unless you're doing something to REDUCE emissions.)

FI in the slant 6 is done and works perfectly as does the garrett. I have some fuel delivery crap to deal with, so the boost is lower than expected (runing out of fuel at around 3200 RPM under load). It's a sick sound, as I listen to the turbo wind up, to hear the fuel starve and the slow droning turbo unwind... wah. Need new fuel pump....

FI changeover in the motorhome will be without turbos, but It'll be next spring until that gets done.

Slantsixness

Oh, I sold the twin turbo Dart GT and the '93 DOHC 2.5L Mexican Turbo. Had to make room for the motorhome. I got more than I expected from the car and the two motors. Almost broke even!
