Anyone looking for a car corral space at Carlisle? We registered for one but the car won't be ready for sale in time. It's a $90 space, but we'll let it go for $40 just to get something back out of...

Okay, I finally got back over there to look at it yesterday. Computers have both been swapped with known good ones so we ruled that out. And it's pretty much running on 2 cylinders all the time now,...
I've been trying to help rare_ram get the 600 going again for a while. Here's the run down. The car will sometimes start up and run fine. No weird issues, all 4 cylinders firing. Then sometimes it...
Scotty, I saw the Cherokee driving by your work today. How's the Charger doing?
The VR6 GTI's usually just had the GTI badging and nothing else. They put down about 200hp or so. My cousin has a GLI which is the Jetta version of the GTI. His VR6 will move. From a seat of the...
I had to drive a 2.3 5-speed Ford Ranger for work. It was a fleet truck too, no options at all. For a truck, it would definately get along pretty good. I had a riced early 90's Accord rev at me once...
You should be a pro at turbo swapping by now Scotty. If this doesn't do the trick I have a couple mitsu turbos sitting a shelf that I know were working fine. It's not like I'm using them. ;)
VA. And it wasn't a state trooper. They're mostly jerks here too. It was a local cop. At the time, my family knew half the cops in the county, so that helped. And I wasn't far from home. If it had...
I think so. There's a white 87 Pacifica at a repair shop up the road from me. It was hit hard in the front end too. The shop wants $600 for it, it's full of trash they've been loading in the hatch,...
It was my 87 Daytona Pacifica. My family has always been into Dodges. My dad used to work on and drive V8 Mopars. So of course when it came time for me to drive, I started looking for something Dodge...
Speaking of dropped valves, that's what happened to this head. Mark pulled the head on the 600 yesterday to get the turbo and found one of the valves punched through the number 3 piston. Completely...
The problem with not boosting was the PCV valve leaking. The MAP error didn't show itself until the leak was plugged and the system saw positive pressure. The whole time, the fuel mixture had been...
That's true. I think it was a combination problem. The PCV was leaking vacuum/boost and the MAP was faulty so it didn't register the problem to the computer. Plugging the PCV allowed boost which...
Is it possible it's been dumping the boost out of the PCV system the whole time? I mean, shouldn't it have been making an obvious leaking noise or something that would have tipped us off? Because it...
Got some new data today.
1) Unplugging a vacuum line with the engine running does NOTHING. I mean nothing. Just keeps on chugging along like nothing happened.
2) There is a leak of some kind...
Engine was turned over to build oil pressure before starting. It was started and heat cycled, then the distributor timing was set. It ran about 20-30 minutes at idle, then Mark drove it for the 35-55...
Um, no 11. Just 12 and 55. The engine is mechanically and electronically running fine. It runs like an MPI non-turbo 4 cylinder with 8.5:1 compression. In other words, REALLY slow. The 82 Scirocco I...
It would seem to me that since we've completely eliminated the exhuast system now and since the compressor is surging (working it's @$$ off), the boost is getting dumped before the cylinders see it...
Well, it's not like the exhaust is entirely dumping out the hole either. I mean, gases will always take the easiest path and if there's already exhaust going out the wastegate hole, the rest has to...
We really are and it's frustrating to no end. There doesn't appear to be an exhaust leak. I thought about dumping some Seafoam in the intake and watching to see if smoke rolled out the back of the...
I've been helping Mark with this and it's driving us both crazy. The engine runs beautiful by itself, just no boost. The whooshing sound is only coming out of the exhaust. You can't hear anything...
