Going intercooled

There is a very slight dimensional difference in the 84/85 IAC pintle and the 86/87 one, but
I did use my 84 at least for a while. They won't interchange unless you use the matching housing.
IE, the 84/85 IAC AND housing and the 86/87 IAC AND 86/87 housing. Use the matching housing
and everything else will work. I found this out the hard way, btw!

Brad_H, You are in the ZONE NOW... Everything looks good. I can tell you the FIRST TIME you nail her, ALL THE FRUSTRATIONS will be worth it. Just remember you STILL have a LOW TIMING car... When you call Eric at Turbo Tweak, just let him know what you have done to car. Only thing I could think to add is 80LBS injectors... If you are gonna use e85. Great Job..
Can't I just adjust my timing? I'm going to use my 42lb injectors and chip combo
Do you have any track times or dybo numbers?
Im curious to see how much it benefits from this conversion.
I mean what if e85 alone gets you the results and you have less headaches just doing e85. I know intercooler has to help but curious how much power it gains from the conversion
Haven't taking it to the track or had it dyno'd yet, still in the process of looking for a throttle cable and detent bracket
As for e85....there ain't any gas station around for that.
Cool air supplied from the intercooler is free and unlimited
86/87 intake manifold is better flowing, even then a pro ported 84/85 intake
Throttle body coming off the intake instead of turbo improves throttle response.
It would be interesting to see an e85 hot air dyno compared to a hotair with the 86/7 intake running on e85 as well.
I was thinking of one day doing what you did. But it would be nice to see how much i would gain.
Im running 22ish psi of boost with my car. With no tune just whats in the chip.
You will have to mod the bonnet on the 87 intake.
You will have to drill a hole in the 87 intake for oil return. You can use the 84 oil return line after you drill the hole. The 87 exhaust will work if you use a test pipe. You can either order the Hooker Exhaust that comes with a test pipe or a Pypes Exhaust system that also comes with test pipe.
