;DProject finally underway! ;D
I have complete 88 TC 2.3L turbo, 8.8 Disc rearend, and TC LA3 Computer. I also went and got a GT spoiler too. Just like it better.
I will post more as things come together. I have waited a year and a half to start this. All of my friends think I am crazy.
The typical comment is why not just put a V8 in it.
My response is why? Anyone can make a V8 go fast, I want an SVO!

Thanks man.
I found your website two years ago and have just been itching to get started. I will have orders coming your way as I get things moving. I want to put the dual exhaust on and some of your other cool accessories. I know for sure that I want to continue to use it as my daily driver. So I don't know how much I will really Mod. But we will see as I go along.

This sucks,
I have run into a snag. My car has stopped running suddenly. In this case it cranks real good but will not fire. I have check the fuel pump, relays, inertia switch, plugs and wires. I have also done a code read and am getting no codes. fuel pressure is good also. unsure about spark. but was told that if the CSPS is bad it wont get spark. I am now checking the crankshaft position sensor as a next step. I cant wait to pull this motor. I am almost done with the 88 rebuild. If anyone has any suggestion on my sudden issue your assistance would be appreciated. Boostgobbler, where in Maryland do you live, I am in southern Maryland, In La Plata.

I have been getting the same grief from all my 5.0 and V8 friends. They all want me to change my mind and swap in a big block. No respect for the turbo 4 Cyl. They just don't get how much fun the 2.3L is.

You need air, fuel, and spark (at the right time) to run. You know you have air so you need to verify whether you have spark and fuel pressure before any more info can be provided. |

Finally found and fix the problem, It was the crankshaft position sensor. Got a new one, put on and the car is running good.

I think my DIS module is going bad now. I am having lower acceleration and seem to be going thru more fuel then I should. Its a never ending story.
