nice:drunk: when you get done post pics if you can. sound cool.

ok I know you have been dealing with this for a while. what have you done/checked? what do you have to work with as far as trouble shooting tools? it sounds like ignition from the description but it could be any thing really. start by determining whats good. then see whos left.

have you actually checked fuel pressure?that would be really helpfull. return line pluged? yes timing will effect vacume. you can actually set timing by watching a vacume gauge.

hmm.. I might want in on this too. I would love some ARP goodness but grade 8 studs to size would work good for me as the motor im building is not a top dollar unit. I dont evin have a vehicle to drop it in( yet:brow: ) keep me in the loop please

I believe that one is the purge sol. I just broke a wire off mine. need to get it replaced. yeah Garner not only do I need mine for emisions but Im a lame O and like EGR valves too. But enough of my save the earth, granola lovin, tree huggin talk. they seem to work well with or with out em. I like the 91 loyal idea. GM parts are cheap.

wow.... here we go again.... I have run both. never noticed any leaks. greater or lesser due to the oils. yeah leaks happen. just changing from one brand to another may contribute to leakage as different oil packages are not always compatible. well I guess anything is possible. I had a guy tell me that the red line oil that we both used would cause my motor to leak. three cars later and still no leaks. Im back to regular castrol due to the price of oil changes with the amount of miles the cars rack up. and delo 400 for the diesel benzo. I do run an oil cooler and turbo timer to try and help out.

there are some special spring compressors that work really well on the small springs. not cheap though. I need to save up my pennys to get one. oh and sometimes the struts are not actually adjustable. some come with a fixed lower pearch and some have the little notches. my 85 had it but the 87 did not.

yeah same situation 6' 200lbs. big feet. my old board was a 157 but wide. new board is a 161 palmer classic. just too narrow. I dont ride parks much so I dont need a trick board. gonna go big I think. wife says thats my gift this year:) hey I dont have your number to hook up when we get up there. you want to PM it to me?

you broke it already? sorry just messin with ya. you shure its the Alt.? the battery is fairly new thats in it. It was a good used one I put in there not too long before my cousin picked it up. never messed with the alt. though. Im sure you can find one or make somthing fit. if not let me know I may be able to find somthing for you if all else fails.

just sent you a PM and I see the pic now too. your BOV will not work like that. it may leak boost and then not vent properly. it needs a proper signal. It has to see MANIFOLD vac and boost after the throttle body. otherwise looks like some good progress. keep it up.

Cool:drunk: going to be hooking up with the cousin that night but I dont know if he has any plans for the night. I will ask him. I am working like crazy to get some new bording gear for the season. my old stuff is about done. boots/bindings worn out. board is nice but too small for me. I sink in the powder and trees.

hmm I think the line that went to the old aluminum was for the idle air control like Will stated. could be wrong mine has not been stock for quite a while. the blow off/bypass valve needs the vac line hooked up to it or it will leak boost unless you bluged the outlet too. simply T into the line that feeds the vacume canister BEFORE the check valve. I ran mine open for about a week. got to be a real pain espically on long drives. not good for the mixture either. it shifts alot better with it hooked up properly too. tubing looks real good. nice intercooler too. let me know the details on that thing again. I know you did already but I forgot. sorry. I would be a little concerned about the hoses you used and fixing the intercooler to the body. I dont see enough flex alowed at the hoses. most stock systems use a flex or bulge hose to let it have more freedom of movement. I would show you mine but the wife broke the camera good this time. check out www.turbohoses.com

no :-\ not only is the little cable from the camera to the computer gone but the camera is MIA now too. I will sneak out to the car and see if she left it in there. nope no good. oh well I have the battery charger held hostage. camera has to come home someday soon for a recharge. and when it does Im all over it.

nice. those are dificult to find around here. I see em on the road but no one seems to sell them. must be a good sign. and 2.2 M/T sounds like a good combo. I was looking for one for my wife but she decided she wants to spend more $ and get somthing nicer/newer/pricyer. guess she is expecting a raise at work. must be nice.

never saw a sube tranny crack. I have seen a turbo 4wd eclips tranny crack....300 miles from home.... at night. ivory soap, duct tape and 4 qts of thick oil. It made it..... barely. only three gears were left by the time it got home. found out it had just been welded up a week before. dont evin bother tring to fixit if its cracked just get a new(used) one.

man I just got home took some good detail pics of my whole TD04 conversion and related mods. then I found the camera cable went to work with the wife. I was going to give Will a picture battle:D I fabed a crazy bit of intercooler ducting/cold air inducting and took it out for a bit of a ride out of the hood and up a big hill climb with turns. It was raining a bit too. that made it fun. new tires stick great. felt realy strong. ok sorry Will I will start my own thread of pics tomarow with explanations.

I think the saab apc unit is a little more acurate though. it has capibilitys to retard BOOST if it detects knock. a little bird told me so:brow: I need to get my junk yard tool box out and go saab hunting.

I dont know the specifics but nissans do use the same type of injector as the older subes. the only problem I see is that the stock fuel system will not be able to handle the larger injectors. that leaves the option of aftermarket ECM or mega squirt to manage them. and it still may be a bit tricky. now I could be wrong but I have not heard of too many people having problems with the injectors flow ability. some people have found the need to trick the system into running richer than normal but that was a race thing if I rember correctly. a long time ago on an old message board far far away. someone stated that our injectors flow the same as a WRX unit. I have no facts to back that up but I do rember it being stated.

Will.... your crazy. but hey your used to that by now. I would be slightly concerned about the epoxy job for the bypass valve. I used the little muffler thingys spot. I also turned my IC side ways to avoid the unwanted use of a sledge on my car. I guess I should post a new pic as its changed a little bit since I last put it up. I will work on that when I get home from work.

hmm I could really use the 4wd turbo sticker for the rear (red I think) mine was painted over or something. I tried a long time ago when there was a suposed huge stock pile of old sube parts avl. from some one. mabey some one has a pic of it?

if time allows I will. its going to be tight but I think it will be fun.

mandrel bent tubing has the same ID thru the bends. dont know what you are looking at at the depot so I cant compare. yes Will intercoolers work:cool: . so I am curious how you set it up. you have pics yet?

fabricated the rest of the plumbing to get my recirc valve to dump into the intake last night. runs better. no stumble between shifts. seems to stay spooled better too. Drkrazy- I have a couple different valves sitting around. if you need one and cannot find one local I would sell you one cheap. what type are you looking for? the only problem with that intercooler is that although it fits verry nice. its not the most efficient design. but hey neither is the WRX unit I run. guess some intercooler is better than no intercooler. dam I wish I could have had a FMIC.

its wet here in san jo. maby it is snowing somewhere hmm?

Brian has my old one. I never got around to sending you the info maby he will.
