I wish a had a cooler war story, but it was simply a loose wire in the column. I didn’t even have to change the switch. Simple fix!

Cordes, do you to have a wiring diagram for the column somewhere on file?
Thanks, Cordes. I just checked all the fusible links. They are all good and sending power. Looks like the issue is somewhere in the column.
Some cool guy on YouTube has a video about the Saginaw...
Hi y'all,
I have a 1989 Dodge Spirit. The blower fan for the heat/ac isn't working.
Power is not getting to the fuse panel on #9 (HTR-AC), #10 (P-WDO), or #11 (back up lamps). I peeked behind...
I thought about cutting up a Honda sidewinder manifold that the k-swap guys use…but those are expensive - even used on Facebook marketplace.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to weld...
Hi everyone. I'm about to start welding up a DIY turbo manifold for the 2.5L in my Spirit. The idea is to relocate the turbo from behind the engine to over the transmission (nearer to the battery...
OH wow this is such a great build thread! Your write-up is definitely inspiring my Spirit 2.5 turbo A413 build :-)
Thanks, Todd. Ah so the bores will have to be machined for forged pistons even if they are close to stock spec. I didn’t realize the clearances were that “big”.
I know someone up here in the...
Yes I heard that was an issue. So I set the measurement of the micrometer first (after I zero’d it gently with the little bar it came with). Then I placed the bore gauge in the micrometer and zero’d...
Hi everybody. I have a low-mile 2.5 TBI block that I'm planning to "build" for my turbo Spirit. Before taking it to the machine shop, I wanted to learn how to measure stuff myself with my new...
I would try to hit the walls with a red scotch brite. If that doesn’t do it, then you could (don’t freak out) ball hone the cylinder with the piston on the bottom of the cylinder. This is not ideal...
I finally got the front bumper back on (i hated being that "no-bumper guy"). I put in some speed holes to help with getting air to the new intercooler. They look slightly skewed in this photo...but...
Thanks so much, Jeff :-) I just got the cylinder head this morning. You went above and beyond with the packaging and shipping! I super appreciate it.
Overall, this was a great transaction. I...
Bravo my friend! I’m hoping my two girls will catch the bug too.
thanks Brian! You’ve been my tuning guru for my turbo engines…any experience with tuning carbed 2.2s? Lol
Well I’m on Facebook marketplace almost every night lol. It’s usually to goof off and pass the time, but when an opportunity presents itself…
I’ve definitely had my share of rust. In the...
And the Spirit now has an older sister lol. I continue to make poor decisions...

I went with a Mishimoto intercooler I had purchased a couple of years ago for a different project. it did fit perfect though.

Between family festivities this past weekend, I found time to work on the Spirit a little more :-)
Living in upstate New York, my poor SRT4 intercooler took a BEATING. It was just mounted way too...
I slammed the car in park on a hill and heard a loud snap...turns out the passenger-side engine-mount bracket completely broke off...crazy
Prepped and re-attached with the MIG ...
The local junkyard had a Chrysler TC! I grabbed the drivetrain and a few small things, including the steering wheel :-)

Lots of fun little updates for the COVID Spirit :-)
I've been experimenting with running gauges on MPScan via laptop. I found a little Asus laptop and a CD slot mount from amazon. BUT the tablet...
These look awesome 👏🏼 Can’t wait to see the finished product.

I can't speak much to drag racing on this level, but MPTune is a wonderful program that's easy to learn and use. Every time I've gotten stuck, a bunch of the people in this forum were quick to help. ...
