Does anyone know where i can get this gauge holder. I had it in my old 87 pacifica and i prefer it much over the pod?

[southkurtk]

So i took the stock cat off today.. and wow.. big difference. Now i have boost and everything even though it didnt seem that the cat was even clogged. new fuel filter. swapped in a t1 87 comp i had laying around and it runs alot better. Still has a tps problem though.

[southkurtk]

so i got 80 lbs fuel pressure on the fuel rail and i dont know why.. ?

[southkurtk]

so i had 80 lbs of fuel pressure at the rail with the gauge. Figured the return line was plugged. So i got investigateing. And the dude i got the car from put a new pump in but hooked the return line and vap line backwards. fixed that and now she is running like a champ. Still have a boost problem. no matter what i do i get cut out.

What do ppl think about the stock airbox? Throw it out for hard piping. or keep it till adding a Front Mount Intercooler?

i say keep the airbox, drop a k&n filter in there and call it day.

[southkurtk]

UPDATE!!! so i found my boost problem was because the swingvalve arm is rusted shut and will not open. I started doin interior work.. Added wood grain dash pieces. Purple headliner, covered piece that gos on top of the dash and the console lid cover so far.. will post pics later

[JohnnyIroc]

purple?

[southkurtk]

yeah purple.. my wife had some layin around she was gonna make curtains with.. so i went at it.. looks pretty good.. imma finish some pieces up tonight and take some pics..

[southkurtk]

Today put in a aluminum radiator from a 92 honda 3 core off ebay. and it kools alot better but prolly just cuz the old one was clogged up. Will post pictures later of the set up threw it back in there with the stock t2 intercooler.. and she runs pretty good.

[southkurtk]

So i got her painted by my brother. He spray painted her red almost the original color. not to bad for spray paint.45 dollar paint job.




These rims are next im painting them bronze


I put some sparkle in the paint you can kinda see it here


Than my purple interior. Wife had this fabric laying around. Was free looks pretty koool





The New Radiator from a 92 honda 3 core Ebay Pretty nice

[southkurtk]

Front Mount And Coil overs are next. With the new radiator i got tons of room to run my cold air intake and intercooler piping into the front air dam of the car.

That interior is HIDEOUS,

[JohnnyIroc]

That interior is HIDEOUS,

yeah im going to have to agree
and im not digging the sparkle in the paint either
and what kind of seats are those

[southkurtk]

05 dodge magnum rt seats.. and hey to each is there own.. It made the car alot quieter cuz all the plastic peices where broken and cracked so its holding them together and stops rattling.

[southkurtk]

So this car is gonna be my daily driver till the end of the year. but since it is so rusted. way more than i originally thought i am gonna part it out. The engine.tranny combo is goin in a 89 plymouth sundance i have with barely any rust besides in the spare tire whole all Fl cars makes no since. lol. So when the times comes. alot of parts from this car are gonna be up for grabs. but ill post that in the for sale section when the time comes. So thats pretty much the end to this project. RUST blahahhh

[midnighttoker]

I've got 4 but I am 30...always loved these cars!

im on number 6 and im 27,got my first one when i was 22

[blk86trbo]

Heck for a daily driver, there's nothing wrong with that paint job, especially for only $45! A majority of the time, people are only going to see it driving by on the road, and at that distance nobody will be able to tell anyhow...I bet it looks better than when you started!

[turbokid]

That interior is bad.
And the rust cant be THAT bad.
Cmon these cars get rarer by the day. And a TTOP car at that...
