Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delayed response. I think my lines are backwards. The line which is on the firewall side of the turbo goes to the back of the block where the pipe broke off. The line that...
Todd,
Thanks for the offer. The factory lines are tempting, as I tend to like keeping things original. However, that rubber hose and crimp are very old, and I don't trust it frankly. Great news is I...
Oh! I remember those hoses! No, mine have long ago been replaced by the aftermarket braided steel lines, and this past summer I replaced them again with new braided steel lines.
As you can see in...
Good afternoon,
So one of the previous owners of my 86 Daytona Turbo Z added this 10" or so long extension off the back of the block for the coolant line to the turbo. I never gave it much thought...
Hi everyone! After over a year off the road, I got my 86 Turbo Z running and drove it today. The reason I took it off the road in the first place was a blown break line, and it was burning oil. So, I...
Good afternoon,
I am slowly putting my 86 Daytona back together after doing valve seals and a bunch of other maintenance. The valve cover was swapped for the better one piece gasket at one time, but...

Hello all,
I am looking to buy an 88-1990 non air bag, three spoke steering wheel with the big chrysler star in the middle. I need it to be blue for my 1990 dodge caravan. Leather wrapped would be...
Cool! Thanks I'll give that a try. Well I thought I would make great headway on the engine rebuild today. Hit another road block. The threads that the intake manifold bolts go into are stripped out!...
Ok I was thinking the red scotch brite might be good. I do still have a ball hone, but last time I did that to my caravan engine, the pistons were removed. I'll save that as a last resort.
Thanks!...
Good evening,
I am in the middle of a very long head gasket job...actually the gasket was fine, I pulled the head to check the turbo because I thought it was burning oil. Turns out it's probably bad...
Miles,
Can you point me in the right direction to the knowledge database for the computer numbers? I swear, nothing is freekin easy! I found on my old SMEC the number "5235105". On Rockauto, the...
So I have decided to just buy a new computer. On rock auto, there is a long list of computer OEM numbers, despite they all look the same and are meant for the 2.5 Turbo I caravan. My current computer...
So I cleaned up the wiring harness and repaired the frayed sections. Still misfiring or shutting down.... I tried tapping on the computer with a screwdriver, to see if the shock caused the issue. Did...
well crimping is certainly easier. I would have thought soldering would be better because it won't loosen up....but I'll pick up some of the heat shrink crimp connectors and go to town :)
Good evening everyone!
I am digging this post up again. Apparently I never posted back that I solved my issue by replacing the SMEC with a used one from another turbo van, thanks to a member on...
Hello,
I broke off the bolt which holds the heat shield in my log intake manifold for my 86 Turbo Z. I drilled it out, installed a helicoil, but didn't have much luck getting the threading to go...
Thank you so much!! I figured next step for me was to go to home depot, test the one bolt in that little male/female thread sample to see what size it is, then order the bolts. That saves me a lot of...
Good evening,
I am doing some engine work on my 86 daytona turbo Z. One of the bolts for the heat shield snapped off in the intake. I am going to try to get it out, but I'm putting feelers out there...
Good afternoon,
I am in the process of replacing my rear brake lines in my 86 turbo z. Unfortunately, I have to drop the tank to get the old one removed and new installed. The bolts that hold the...
Thank you all for the replies. Yes a picture is worth a thousand words. I didn't have a picture at the time of that writing. I do recall attempting to flip the tube around, with no luck in the past....
Hello All!
It has been awhile for me posting here. I've been tied up with my new toy the past couple years, a 78 Dodge van B200 I'm fixing up. Anyway, the oil seals on my turbo went in my 86 Turbo Z...
Hello,
I am in need of the black plastic trim piece on the driver's side above the windshield for my 86 Turbo Z. If you have both left and right I'd be interested but the driver's side is missing....
Hello everyone,
My stock 89 Turbo 2.5 van developed a pretty bad oil leak on the passenger's side of the engine. It seems to be below the midway point of the cylinders on the block.... I'm thinking...
