TE-44 for sure!! With stock heads the TE-44 or Ta-49 is hard to beat on the street.I have a TE-44 on my Turbo Regal now and I love it compared to my old bigger 60-1 HI-FI Turbo which had so much lag and lack of low RPM power.I even had my 12 inch converter modified to 3000 and the 60-1 still...

With 26 inch tall tires and my 3.73 gears the car feels and is alot faster on the bottom end but I like the way it drives with the 28 inch tall tires because it stays in the engine's power band and probably is faster over all.So I think I am going to keep the 3.73 gears and keep my 28 inch tall...

I guess keeping my 3.73's would be ok since I am running a 28 tall tire.If that 3.46 gear is correct then there should not be any reason to change my gears.One of the mods I want to do is change my stock modified 3000 stall converter and buy a Vigilante 3200 Lock up converter.I want my turbo to...

ok, so a 3.42 gear is best for my car even though i have 3.73's.But with my 28 inch BFG Drag radials I should be close to a 3.42 in reality.Maybe like a 3.52 or so??I was wondering if it would be worth it to install back the 3.42's because unless i run a 26 inch tall tire it might be a little...

Actually the car feels faster probably because it Revs quicker with the 26 inch tall tires but now i am running a 28 inch tall tire with the 3.73's so the actual ratio of it now should be about 3.52.I don't know how to calculate exactly.I guess the top end power would suffer somewhat??Maybe a 29...

I had 3.73 gears installed years ago.I am running a BFG 28 inch tall tire which gets me close to the original gears of the 3.42.With 26 inch tall tires i notice that the car has alot more pep,feels faster and has alot more bottom end power.I have a Te-44 turbo,ESP front mount intercooler,ESP...

I am also considering going to a Terry Houston downpipe.Right now I just have a 3 inch down pipe and the way i control the boost is from a Racegate near the middle of the crossover pipe near under the driver's side.What advantages would the Terry Houston downpipe be instead of the set up I...

Id take it slow myself since I never took one out before.I believe my core has a much bigger crack in it then most.I guess the main thing is getting all those hard to find screws.One thing is i am not sure whether i have Air Conditioning or not in my car.I don't know squat about what the A/C...

Thanks Dr. Boost.I could use a little more top end power without going to a PTE .63 housing.I don't know what the difference would be on how a TE-60 would spool with a Garret .63 Housing and a TE-44 with a PTE-.63 Housing???I feel that the Garret housing makes the car funner to drive on the...

Is there anything else left out besides these 5 steps listed above.I don't have an air ratchet.Do I really need to get one or is it just a safer way not to break the fiberglass scews or housing??? This will be my first Heater core that I Replace and install.

Thanks for all your posts. So you don't have to take off the wiper arms then or is it easier to take the wiper arms off or doesn't matter??? I thought that the metal grill had to come loose or be taken off to do the job,referring from this old link from a while ago???Sounds a whole lot easier...

Only 15 minutes to take out and put a new Heater Core in???WoW It seems like the link I got from somewhere on this site has about 10 to 15 steps to replace it and is confusing as hell.

I bought the car 10 years ago and it had heat but as the years went by gradually the heat became less hot and now nothing but cold or cool air.I have since bypassed the Heater core with a plug and have a new Heater Core and heater valve.I have never replaced a Heater Core on these cars before.I...

I have heard that in some or very few instances it could be a head gasket pushed out through the side creating alot of pressure on the Core that blew it, but I don't get any antifreeze in my engine oil at all.Car has 103,000 miles on it and it is probably the original Heater Core.Im just a...

I have a garret .63 Housing from a TE-44 Turbo and was wondering if it would fit on a TE-60 Turbo.I like the Garret .63 Housing over the PTE .63 housing for quicker throttle response,less lag,better all around for everyday street driving.Just wondering if my Garret .63 Housing from my TE-44...

I have to replace my heater core.Even way before the Heater Core spilled on the passenger's side I never got heat out of my car,just cool air.Maybe the heater core is not my only problem???I was just wondering when a heater core goes bad does it usually leak out antifreeze when alot of load is...
