Got the wiring harness freed after work today, and just finished retaping it. I still need to give all the connectors a good cleaning and regreasing, but it's pretty close to done. Here's a shot of...
I just compared the 2.4 base cal in the t-smec zip file to the 2.2 and 2.5 t-smec base cals, and some of the tables seem to have different data points in them so something seems off. I'll play...
We originally were going to go that route (got it fired up with a 2.5 t-smec cal), but then I found the 2.4 base cal for the t-smec in Rob's collection and we decided to use that instead. Are you...
Well, I went down to Merrill's shop at lunch, cleared the codes and the motor ran way better! Holy cow does that tiny stock turbo spool quickly! Have it set for 14 psi of boost to start with and it...
Well, we're going to have a freakishly warm week for Feb in CT - 60-70 degrees Tue/Wed. So I figured I would take that opportunity to crank out the engine compartment freshen up of 86 #141.
Here's...
Yup - using the latest revision. No need to go digging Wayne - I woke up in the middle of the night last night and thought: Limp Mode!
I haven't experienced limp mode in 15-20 years, so the...
Now that is funny! Yup - he was going so crazy yelling and giving thumbs up that he almost drove straight through an intersection and crashed his pathfinder! Merrill and I were thinking "what the...
I'm helping a friend with a 2.4 swap in his rampage. We went with the cam mounted distributor setup and used the 2.4 t-smec tpl file from Rob's collection (thanks Rob!). The engine fired right up...
EDIT: got bitten by the quick post, blank pic forum bug! Hopefully it's corrected now and pics show up.
That OBX looks interesting.
FYI - I was wrong on the wheel size I posted above. Fronts...
Yup - Merrill's trucklet. For those of you who aren't familiar, Merrill built this twin engine rampage more than 20 years ago. He initially ran 2 stock T2's and then about 10 years ago he built a...
Thanks for the input. The trucklet is caged and he's looking for low 10's. The front motor is basically a stock T2 with bigger injectors and a 3 bar map and it puts down just under 250 whp. So I'm...
The 2.4 project that I just helped get up and running has the stock PT turbofold on it and we’re looking to upgrade that shortly to a Garrett DBB turbo and looking for suggestions on which exhaust...

UPDATE #3:...
I just went through this and after cleaning the injectors and getting a good spray out of them, the car still didn't run right. Turned out the fuel had also deteriorated the diaphragm in fuel...
Is it down in the wheel well too? Honestly, if it's only that area, I wouldn't spend the time and effort trying to do a full quarter. It would waaay easier to weld in some small patch panels and...
How many miles? A little 2.5 piston slap noise is my guess at what you're hearing. Before doing any of that, buy a cheap mechanical gauge and put it on there to see exactly what you're reading. ...
Nice Charlie's Angel's pose AJ. That is a cool looking van. Love the 90 ES's!
Got tied up with work last week and then went out and had some fun this weekend instead of wrenching on cars. So I didn't start the doors until yesterday after work.
The power side mirrors were a...
This car is in a brand new, rodent free garage, so I'm hoping I don't have any further issues. I did however, do those same types of things (used metal screening material from an old house door...
Took the car up to cars and coffee at Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA (Boston) yesterday. I met Seth there and he was in his 89 CSX. Both cars got plenty of attention, but I guess a lot...
Thanks!
Post #9! LOL!
Seriously though, for interior plastic and vinyl, I use SEM Colorcoat. It's a single stage paint for plastics and vinyls - no reducers/catalysts required. For L-body gray/silver...
When you going to start the thread for the ES? How many cold start injectors on that thing? Love the plate!
No real close ups, but had the car in the line-up for our annual NESDAC bbq. A T3 swap is fairly common now a days, but when the doors were opened and folks saw the spirit dash, quite a few oohs and...
