    Individual Throttle Bodies

    Another MAP sensor question, I've been adapting a new intake for my daily driver and I need to know if the MAP signal needs to be pulled from a point of constant flowing air or if it can be from "dead" air. The intake I'm working on has a cross over with a valve that I have rigged to be open all...

    What would an 87 SVO look like?

    Funny you should mention that. The hatch on mine is rusted out, way beyond repair, well my friend offered me his spare capri bubble hatch. Still thinking about it, at least temporarily...

    Help, I got no Volts

    I worked in retail for the first three years of my working life, I know those tricks ...it sucks. With the old alternator when I started it up nothing happened but with the new one it jumps like it should so I'm thinking that was the problem. If it does happen again, I'm going to throw this...

    Help, I got no Volts

    I went to napa and they said it was toast, $77. Then I went to autozone cuz I noticed the duralast sticker and they said it was toast $98! BUT Since its only a couple of years old they gave me a brand spanking new one for free! I threw it on and it seems to be fine now. Thanks, guys!

    Help, I got no Volts

    I did the tests like you said. I hooked up the meter to the battery and it read 12 (it was on a charger all night so it better) then I started it and the volts didnt even twitch so I figure the alternator is dead. I'm going to drag it over to napa in a couple of minutes to see if their tester...

    Help, I got no Volts

    I'll try what you said tomorrow and see what I come up with. Hopefully its something easy, I've got too much crap going on to deal with a big problem right now.

    Help, I got no Volts

    Will do, thanks! I'm thinking its the ground since the alt was replaced a couple of years ago. Its the newest thing in the system!

    Help, I got no Volts

    I took a trip today to pickup some parts and about an hour from home the volts dropped from 12 to zero in about a mile. I shut off all the electrical stuff and kept driving. Then about five minutes from home the car just flat died, the solenoid clicked once when I tried to restart then nothing...

    what all will i need?

    Does anyone have the 87-90 Wiring Diagram that this links you to, it wont load for me and I would really like to see it. I'm a visual person.. I can get all of the electronics and such for you, there are Four TurboCoupes in the local junkyard. For the VAM, ECU, and wire tails, it'll be around...

    I can get you one if you really want it but its going to cost you big time in shipping.

    CAI fabbing idea

    I'd go with metal over plastic but other than that it sounds like an interesting idea. Maybe not as unique as you think but certainly one of a kind.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I'm seriously considering the change to edis and replacing the a/c compressor with the alternator. That would give me so much room I dont know what I'd do with it! I could get totally crazy with the intake!

    '88 TC hood on '88 stang?

    Bolt on? Not even close. Cut out and fit the TC scoops in? very possible. I acctually wanted to do that but I'm going to use a front mount so I have no use for a hood scoop.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Except only one set of injectors... It'll take a little bit of work but I can squeeze it all in there.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I cant visualize what your saying, any way you could describe it better? At the moment I am planning on having a slope down from the plenum, sitting next to the master cyl, down to the head. Unfortunately I have to mount the TBs high up, 4-6in from the head, which isn't the greatest but...

    What would an 87 SVO look like?

    Which is why I gave up on replicating an SVO. I'll just build it how I want to and leave it at that. If I ever get an svo then I'll have to deal with those issues. For now, I'll stick with the LX parts hunt.

    Individual Throttle Bodies

    I found a couple reasons why I dont see more of this type of install. The distributor and the alternator, they are perfectly positioned to be in the way! But I think with a little fudging I can get it all in there. Problem is I need to have the engine in the car before I can mock it up so I...
