Progress....

measure the end of the exhaust wheel. You could do more measurements if you took off the exhaust housing (which you basically do when you clock the turbo.you looosen the bolts so if you just removed them you could pull it off and measure both ends of the wheel.

If you can measure both you can find out what turbine wheel you have but measuring the end would probably be good enough.

I actually talked to Cindy, and Turbonetics and its a stage three wheel. Not what I ordered, but really not a big deal. Im just going to keep it.

if you can rev high enough it just means a lil more power

Well, its not really "go fast" parts, but they do make the car handle better.
The RT got some new shoes....



I am thinking of painting the calipers red, but I wont do that untill I figure out where to get some new slotted or slotted and driller rotors and get some new pads.

And this is kinda a "go fast" part. I got the alky controller mounted the other week while I was doing some work on the stereo. I really like where its at, its solid as a rock and made a perfect spot for the Greddy ProfecB that will be going there very soon.

I also have a narrow band meter down underneath for two reasons. One, testing the idea of moving my gauges. I dont like my pillar pod. And second reason, my Zeitronixs has a narrow band output, and its nice to have the lights from the gauge light up the car enough I dont always have to keep an eye on the zeitronix display.

ok no pics but I'm still happy! I got the gap set on the cam and crank triggers, cam @ .030 and crank @ .065 and filled her with some oil finished wiring everything except waterpump and rad fan and some other not needed right now things. The very first try I have good signals from cam and crank !
throttle position sensor is wired and working, Sooo tomorrow I might have some action!! good rpm signal is what had me worried the most. tomorrows tasks will be make a bracket for the neon coil and figure out the configuration A-1&4 or A-2&3... make sure the injectors are firing the right cylinders, stuff like that and see what it runs like! I figure my 8v cal should be atleast close to just run at idle without hurting anything. No reving just simple idle running time to do all my checks.. oh boy am I anxious for tomorrow!! hope I can sleep tonite..

[bansheenut420]

keep us updated Joe, good luck. Cant wait to hear it run!

[mopar2ya]

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!!!! Keep us posted Joe..

[Turbo Joe]

well i'm gonna fire that oil pump through the window if the guy won't give me another new one.. brand new pump and it doesn't pump at all!! lots of stupid almost impossible to happen stuff last night... but fear not I'll have it running today.. atleast I know why I couldn't make any oil pressure... oil pump spins like a wheel bearing.. I'll make a video of it....

[Turbo Joe]

it runs!!! i spent all day with a bunch of stupid stuff but Ifinally got it to come alive i still have the rad to install but some tweaking and tuning and it'll purr.. runs rough with the cal being a 8v cal and it was set with different fuel.. i've got 93 in her now so the cal needs tweakin.. i'll post the video soon.. man does it rumble aggressive! I have to thank Scott aka
89waredaytona for the help he gave me he's also the camera guy this time.. stay tuned...
