Turbo sold to the #2 in line.

As of 2215 on 6-28-16 there are two people in line. Just a heads up for anyone else interested. Just waiting on paypal from the #1 spot.

It's still available.

I would like to first say how important the diagnosis process is to avoid throwing money at problems! Turns out it was a bad radiator cap. Hell of a lot cheaper than head gaskets.

I have a TA49 turbo for sale. I bought it in April from another board member for $475. I don't know how many miles it has on ot total, I can testify to the 1000 miles on put on it though. No smoke, slight play both ways, but within acceptable limits. It put out 24psi on a regular basis on my set...

Started it cold when I woke up, no smoke at all upon starting. Checked the oil and doesn't appear to have coolant mixed in. I will pressure test the cylinders on my days off. Appreciate all the responses. When I get it figured out, I will update the post.

Coolant temp was 168 when i was shutting it down.

Just pulled it in the garage when I got home from work and heard a bubbling sound coming from the radiator resivior. It is a long steady stream of bubbles, that I can only assume because of no coolant on the ground, is a head gasket leak. Is it the cylinder pressure escaping from my engine...

Just got it back together and took it for a ride. Not one sputter or hesitation. No knock, quick spool, and holds 22lbs no problem. My problem was obviously the corroded plug and wire on the #5 cylinder. After cutting the plug boot open, there was alot of corrosion from, what appears to be, some...

Solid advice! Thanks. Just sent the wife to autozone for conductive grease. Didn't think of it until seeimg your reply.

I wasn't trying to fix the spark plug, I was trying to asses the severity of the damage so I could figure out why it was oxidizing in the first place. I have new plugs and wires I bought today and will be putting them on shortly. I don't know why the plug did that, the boot appears fine and has...

I cut a small triangle out of the bottom plate due to the screen fitting differently than my stock one. I used a large hose clamp to hold it to the hanger and have not had any problems with my set up.

So it turns out my #5 clylinder plug was in really bad shape. The picture attached is it after a solid 30 seconds on the wire bristle bench grinder just so I could see the surface. It was covered in oxidation. I am going to assume this was causing my backfire. I will update after I take it for a...

Got it. Thanks for the recomendation and help.

Stock short and long block. Mods are 165* thermostat, DW300 pump, 80lb/hr injectors, TA49 turbo, cold air kit, TT E85 chip, 100lb valve springs, and a hot wire kit. Stock everything else. I am in northern Illinois so the weather is moderate, doesn't get to hot. I drive the car to work...

Agreed, I personally know another member who runs high 10's with stock lines. Others, like myself, experienced some ghost problems that were cleared up by running a fuel line kit.

I started digging through old threads but had to go to work. Looking for a good plug (and gap) to run on my E85 GN. Would someone throw out a reliable plug recomendation, I am having backfire issues at 22lbs/boost and believe it to be my plugs. Thanks people!

Meant -8 on the original response...sorry. Been a long day

Your fuel injectors will obviously have to be reololaced depending on what size they are now. I recently did a fuel line kit for my E85 car and don't regret it at all. -6 supply line amd Inused the factory supply line as my new return line. I was getting high fuel pressure runnimg a DW300 pump...

Saturday is the first test and tune of the year at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet. Weather looks good between the hours of 9-5 when it's open. Anyone going?
