My car has always been slow lol. It ran 16 flat consistently in stock form with a 5-speed and drag radials (and a leaky head gasket). Engine needs overhauled currently but it will have to wait....

Engineering school.... Couldn't build the car the way I wanted on mechanic wages. Had to put the car on the back burner for a while. build should resume in 2-5 years.

Had a little bit of fun this weekend. Local dragstrip had a mopars only weekend. New personal best for the shadow (best N/A pass). Totally unprepped. Tank full of 87 gas (no perceptible knock) old...

Finally found my problem, wiggle test revealed a loose terminal on the MAP sensor, Car runs awesome! Also snagged some slicks recently which would be helpful if I ever race the car again...

Thanks guys, gonna try and grab some junkyard sensors today and do some werk.

Fuel pressure is such a pain without a port and I've been lazy. I have been planning on doing that though. Full AND part throttle issues going on.

Car runs ROUGH. Can't seem to rev over 4k except in 5th gear. It just breaks up and goes full lean on the wideband, It feels similar to fuel cut I've felt in factory boosted cars. Idles terribly and...

I was having problems with my original ecu which was auto. That was the one that shel-game had modified for me with upped limiters. I got an auto ecu from the local yard and it worked great for a day...

Hey guys I really need to get my hands on a good 3.0/5-speed ECU so I can drive this car again. My car is a 94 but If I remember right 92-94 will work, maybe even 91's. Not interested in any more...

Hey guys I need some opinions on a possible turbo setup for my car. My dad is working on a deal to get a new turbo for his 92 Cummins diesel pickup. I believe it to be a holset Hc1. My limited...

yeah reaper1, my dad and I say that all the time. After 8 years of riding rockets, I was definitely due for a mishap. Thanks shadow24, could have been much worse. Looking at about $350 in bike damage...

ugh shadow is back on the backburner. dumped my motorcycle and dislocated my shoulder and got some road rash. Things were going so well and then bam! sliding down the road watching my bike spin...

Some pics of the bumper cover supports and spare tire well cover. Gonna seam seal and paint it all soon.

I had Turbos unleashed prepare the obx unit with all the upgraded hardware, not sure if they did anything with preload settings or not. My main issue from what I remember was when going around a...

Yeah the OBX LSD made the car difficult to control, maybe it's partially the way I drive. I only had it in the car for a week and almost wrecked twice. Originally I thought I would be able to get...

wow, been a looong time since I posted on here. I've had the car running since early November, no smoke or anything. Runs pretty good actually. I did end up removing my OBX LSD and selling it, money...

The ones I used are Hastings part number 2C 4670 020. .020" oversize.

47253 Ran it for about 20 miles until I tore it down. Didn't get a pic of the ring but about 1-2 inches of it was bent/folded over. The fluid in the pic is water from pulling the intake without...

Found the problem. An oil control ring on cylinder 3 is bent. The expansion ring shows a little damage as well. I must have damaged it during installation. Scraped up the cylinder a bit so It looks...

Tried driving it around a bit the past few days. It smokes a lot while decelerating in gear, I can't see any smoke while accelerating but if I am stopped and hold it at 3k it pours smoke out. I'm not...

It starts smoking after about 2 mins of idling from a dead cold start. If I hold it at 2500 rpms it just pours more smoke. I'm afraid to drive it like this. I did try pulling the plug wire off of...

Ok the motor/trans are back in the car but I got a problem. This thing is pouring smoke! compression is 180psi across the board but number 3 spark plug is soaked in oil. I started it up for the first...

I don't hate that.... really wish I could get back into my project. Slowly working towards it. Shot myself in the foot (figuratively) about 3 months ago, still digging out of that one. :/

I'm baaaack lol. I know some of you guys are on facebook, but I don't really know a lot of names. feel free to add me. David Moroskie jr. Hopefully will be working on the 3.0 again shortly. :)

I was gonna put clay on the top of the rocker and set it all up to see what clearances look like, maybe one of these days. I'm not sure how accurate I could measure since there are so many angles in...
