RE: My 2.3 turbo swap
the end of the dizzy fits the oil pump shaft perfectly, must have been internal in the pump
also im sure this 83 pedal cluster will fit my 87?

how do i go about putting an air cleaner on the small vam... my old filter wasnt close to fitting the inlet..
also after staring at my wiring diagram for an hour and writing down the how to's im almost clear on it...
im gonna wait to wire in the premium fuel switch and run a manual boost controller. going to try wiring it tomorrow.
gonna go buy some gaskets so i can start puttin it together..

RE: My 2.3 turbo swap
The PF computer doesn't have a premo mode at all. Its the 87-88 TC's that do.
On mine I was just going to use 2.5" PVC pipe for my intake and just use a silicone hoise to attatch it

I did PVC for my N/A 2.3....... Took it off yesterday only to find it was melted pretty good.
Haha.

RE: My 2.3 turbo swap
Slapped on the head today
Painted some pullies, and getting ready to paint the block, just have to get more of the grease off.
Ordered my clutch kit, OEM replacement, ordered feed and drain lines from stinger, ordered UPR quadrant and cable, and my 5th main crank seal, last one i swear. Still have to get pedals, tranny crossmember, driveshaft, and an exhaust, and i should be ready to start dropping it in and getting it to run. FMIC is coming after the engine runs.. I have alot vaccum lines that i got with the engine, some check valves and stuff, no idea what theyre for, also some cut vac fitting on the inlet of the compressor.

The fitting behind the coolant line thats twisted at the end
How can i test if the wastegate still works? before i install it on the motor..

RE: My 2.3 turbo swap
That metal line you cut (I'm guessing) is for the charcoal (sp?) canister intop of the valve cover. It allows gases to be re-entered into the system
To test the wast gate just turn on your air compresser and put it on the wastgate port and see if it moves

RE: My 2.3 turbo swap
Here is picture of how I did the large vam. I just put a k&n cone filter on the end of the vam. I looked to see if I saved the part number of the filter. Look at their website. I think it is a downloadable catalog of their filter with measurements. Should be able to find it. If need to I can remove mine and look it for you. Just let me know. Ps don't let the hose to the right rub the hole in fender. It cut a hole in it and cause a nightmare to find out that it happen. Boost would fall off and not run correct. I have differant hose and hose won't cut now. It goes to front intercooler. If trying Sleeepersinc idea. Make sure pressure is down. Say under 20 should move. 100+may burst wastergate diaphram.
