My daily driven 85 Laser XE has about 225,000 miles. I broke 2 pistons this past summer due to running very low on gas and taking a freeway on ramp under high boost. When I put two used replacement...
Both of the pistons arrived totally clean and in awesome condition!!! Thank you!!!
OK then I will definitely get both pistons from you. PM me total price and I will paypal right away.
I am definitely interested in both pistons. I probably only need one since it has low compression in one cylinder. I am not sure about the B or C. I have not taken the engine apart yet. Is it...
I am looking for a set of factory mahle pistons that fit an 85 T-1 engine (G-Head 2.2). Must be for original bore size since the engine is not bored out.
I made a terrible mistake when I let my...
Back when my Laser XE was draw through I ran two water injection nozzles in the plastic elbow right above the throttle body. The water never hurt the turbo blades at all. It did corrode the...
Wow this is amazing! I want a 2.4 automatic to go in my Laser. I liked that video but it made me feel so low tech with my setup.
Go with a 523, they are a blast to drive. Just knock out the hole where the automatic transaxle shift cable would have gone through and use the rubber seal from an automatic car shifter cable to...
I am running Falken Ziex 912 on 225/50-15 swiss cheese wheels. They hook up much better than the old Kumho Ecsta's and Pirelli Cinturatos before them. Much better in the rain than Ecsta but not...

I am running a G-Head in my car since it is an 85 2.2 and I absolutely love it. It only needs more timing when it is not in boost.
I use the staging limiter with nothing selected (brake/AC/ect switches) This way it goes off the distance sensor only. I tuned the cal version 10 Turbonator LM without the staging limiter on and...
That is awesome! I raced a harley a while back with my Ninja and we both maxed the throttle and my bike went faster and it seemed his harley only got louder.
That sounds like fun. Imagine how...
I have 225/50-15 on my Laser XE swiss cheese wheels. They work great and handle much better than the old Pirelli 205s that were previously fitted. The 225s had a spec sheet that said the minimum...
That is strange. I have tried many different brands of plugs included the frowned upon bosch platinum. Every plug made the car run exactly the same with no change in fuel economy or power. Perhaps...
I know this is a very old thread, however I was looking for a FAQ on tuning O2 sensor values. My A/F hunts between 14:1 - 15:1 or 15:1 - 16:1 when I offset the signal with the LC1 wideband. I want...
I moved the OverboostConstant1 all the way to -14.7:1 and loaded the ver.10 Turbonator LM cal in its modified form in my Laser and the fuel mix still seems to hunt like it is still toggling for the...
I thought the best mods were stickers and fart cans but I guess I am too fast and furious for everyone on this forum!
I am running a large foam air filter right on the turbo inlet. I borrowed my mothers battery powered remote residential thermometer and taped the probe to the filter housing. It only registered an...
I take a written gas log and average between many tanks but usually the in dash navigator is right on. My trans is a 3.7X 1994 523 and it does not rev that high when going down the highway. The...
Damn! You guys get such awesome fuel economy! How the heck can I get that kind of mileage? My Laser used to get a dismal 27 on the highway when it was suck through. Now that it is TII, I shaved...
I ran 23 psi on a G head 2.5 with Federal Mogul hyper eutectic pistons / sealed power rings and never had any trouble. I guess I got lucky and I had a nice 3 bar cal that was tuned entirely with my...
I have had good success with a clutchnet 6 puck disk and an OEM TII pressure plate. It seems to grab very hard and instantly and even puts up with power shifts although I am probably running a lot...
I had a 3.05 525 with a 555 gearset in a GLH with an intercooled 2.2 and it was awesome! The best tranny ever. I tried it in my Daytona and it was a little too steep for city driving. Think about...
I did the same thing. I put a 1 piece intake on a log intake car and ran tps wires to the correct 3 prong pigtail on the throttle body. The only thing I did not have is AIS control so I left the...
