I had a supercoupe t-bird. They are not a hot rodders car. If you keep them stock they are fun, lots of low end torque. Hoppping them up is very expensive, and there are alot of gimmick bolt-ons that do nothing. The manual tranny is a Mazda truck tranny with a lot of quirks. You want the...

Seen that gmpp is selling this 3.8 3800 Series III supercharged engine for $3800. Would like to find a RWD car to stuff one of these in. Do these engines bolt of to a TH350 tranny, what about engine mounts. Any links on the web about info on using theseengine in a RWD car?

I have done alot of research on the E.T's of non-intercooled TR and the 87 ECM is a common feature of the better performing cars. I bought an 84 Ttype last month and this will be my first mod. btw Nick B has the best performance to $ ratio I have seen I plan on following his recipe.

Very informative info, your willingness to share info is appreciated. Whish all on this board were as open. Anyway I am assuming you used the Spearco adapter to have something to clamp the silican hose to. My email is kysard55@suscom.net. If you have any pictures.

Is your throttle body still before the turbo and do you have any surging or lagging?

I don't think you could reliably turn 11's with a stock tranny more than a few times. Now if you have the ability to rebuild a tranny and add the good components then yea. So far here is my budget: $1500 for SS exhaust and Headers $2000 for a tranny $600 for Tires $900 for injectors...

Who is Chris wilson, where do I find info on his old car and I doubt you can go 11's on $5000. I tranny is $2000, headers+ exhaust is $1500. That leaves $1500 for extras. Doubtful

I have the same dilema as well. Remember that 84 has a different block than the 85-87. I think 11 sec would be unrealistic for an 84 block unless you add a girdle and steel mains , it would be easier to just swap a 109 block (85-87) For mine I just want to make it a high 13 sec car and this...

I recently purchased a ttype. When I travel on the high way at 65 my tach reads 5000 rpm. Any time a gas it the tach reads well into the redline. I know I am in overdrive because if I downdhift I can here it. I also notice that the car is slow to downshift on its own from OD, it revs like...

dude there is only one intercooler kit which has a blow thru tb (tm) you don't list it in your sig?

Cool84 do you have any pictures of how you did the throttle body move?

Anyone know where these can be obtained. Looking under the hood of this 84 ttype I bought last month, wow there is alot of vacuum lines and sensors. My boost lights don't come on.

I think the hot air cars may be the most underrated cars around. Look here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=600873620&r=0&t=0 its a grand national with leather seats and rarer than any intercooler GN yet it is being given away. Alot of these cars are being...

I was at the detroit auto show studying intercoolers. I think everyone would agree that w/out an intercooler and the typical mods a hot air car is capable of 13seconds. That tells me to go low 12s just a little intercoolering is needed. Why not tilt the compressor housing and put a little...

Thanks for the advice, Does anyone make a 3" downpipe for these 84-85 cars?

I'm checking the compression this weekend. Hard to tell if there is water in the oil as this has synthetic oil from previous owner not sure how to read it. I am tempted to buy the ATR header and down pipes kit but not sure if I should by that for $900 or just buy a set of stock headers that...

This is a stock car with 90K miles. Looks like it may need a head gasket because after I kill the engine a little white smoke continues to roll out the drivers tailpipe (small amount.) Hoping that the motor just needs honing, rings and gaskets. I am looking to spend $3-4K over the next few...
