    wtb turbo for use on stock converter car -- (gt3255, ta49, te44, etc.)

    I have posted this same thing a couple times before, but I am still in need of a turbo and I finally have some money to spend on one! It will be going on my stock converter car (which I may upgrade to an orange stripe soon), but I'm looking for something that will work OK on the stock d5...

    can you get away with a slightly larger turbo running e85?

    I am shopping for a turbo right now, and i have found pretty good deals on a few. i basically want to get a turbo that will work well with the stock converter OR with the 2800 converter i have sitting around. i am planning on switching my car to e85 as soon as i get it running again, and i...

    Looking for turbo for use with stock and/or 2800 stall converter

    I am in the market for a turbo that will work well on a street car. I have a stock converter, but I am debating putting on an orange stripe converter I have (supposed to be around 2800 stall). I want a turbo that would work well with either of these. I plan to run about 25 psi on alky or...

    best turbo for stock converter and 25 psi?

    I am in the market for a turbo. I have a stock longblock, and I am currently planning on leaving the stock converter in the car, although I have an orange stripe converter sitting around. i guess I just don't feel like pulling the trans right now! i just want to get this thing running as a...

    TA49, .82 A/R, no shaft play, $450 OBO

    This turbo is in great shape -- it seriously has absolutely zero shaft play. I'm not sure how many miles are on it, but it couldn't be many considering the nice shape this thing is in. I just got it as part of a trade, and I am looking to sell it and buy another turbo. I haven't even run it...

    Would fuel tank from an '82 regal (3.8 carb) fit an 85 hot air?

    I am asking for a friend. His '85 hot air has a dented fuel tank, and he is about to upgrade the pump. He wants to put a new tank on while he's at it, and I have a junk '82 Regal sitting around. It has the carbed 3.8. i thought I'd save some work and ask the board before we went ahead and...

    what's your car's range on E-85?

    I am strongly considering putting my Regal on e85 after i get it running again, but after doing a little research, there only seems to be one gas station that sells it in my area of the state (the station is in Oklahoma City). It will be easy enough to fill up in the OKC since I'm always...

    PT-54 turbo, great shape -- will take cash or trade for smaller turbo

    I have decided to abandon some of the grand plans I had for my T-Type (at least for now), and just make my car into a fast stock converter car (hopefully in time for the Ford/Buick shootout in Noble, OK in November!). This involves selling my PT-54. It is a Precision pt-54 with a precision...

    What can cause weak spark?

    I have traced my no-start condition to weak spark. The plugs will arc weakly while pulled out of the motor, but won't fire when installed. I think this problem might have been caused originally by the fact that I had my negative battery cable disconnected from the motor completely (it is...

    wtb TA-49 or other turbo for use with stock converter -- possible trade for pt-54

    I am looking for a turbo to work with my stock converter. I currently have a pt-54 installed, but I decided not to go with a big converter and all that just yet, so this is way too big for me. I'm now just trying to get this thing running nice and quick for the cheapest amount possible. I am...

    WTB piping, couplers, and t-bolt clamps for Powerstroke IC

    I have the intercooler already (metal tanks), so I just need piping, couplers, and t-bolt clamps. I could put the kit together myself, but I figured if anybody doesn't need theirs anymore, it would be much easier to buy a pre-made kit. Let me know.

    no spark -- help me figure out why! i have injector pulse, but no RPM signal!

    I have been fighting a no-start condition in my T-Type for some time, and I finally narrowed it down to there being no spark... or at least the spark is so weak that it doesn't arc when the plugs are installed. First, let me say that I have already replaced the ignition module TWICE... it...

    WTB turbo for use with stock converter -- precision housing

    I currently have a pt-54. Instead of getting a higher stalled TC as I originally intended, I am just going to buy a smaller turbo and sell the 54. I'm planning on making it a DD/street car, and decided I didn't want to be driving around with a 3200 or 3500. I will consider BB or regular...

    WTB turbo for use with stock converter... cash or trade for a low mileage pt-54

    I have decided not to upgrade my converter. I am trying to make this car fast on a budget, so I am now planning on selling my pt-54 and getting a smaller turbo for use with the stock D5 so i can spend my money on alky instead of a converter. a ta-49 would be great... i'm looking for something...

    where is park/neutral switch??

    Hello, I think my park/neutral switch is bad... I've had a no-start condition for a while, and have ruled almost everything else out. I have a commander chip with anti-theft... you have to do a sequence that involves shifting into a forward gear and back into park or neutral to start it. It is...

    could no-start condition come from a bad chip (anti-theft)?

    I have been trying to diagnose a no-start condition in my t-type since last winter. I've tried everything in the flow chart, and there is no sign of anything being wrong with it. i have fuel, spark, timing, cam signal, and crank signal. I have replaced both the ignition module and the coil...

    check out these compression #s -- would they keep it from running?

    i've been trying to diagnose a no-start condition for a while, ever since i parked my car and it simply wouldn't start the next day. i tried everything on the gnttype.org flowchart, and everything checks out -- the motor is getting fuel and spark. just in case the spark wasn't strong enough, i...
