THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally have some progress

[90TurboVan]

Where exactly to drill drains and pressure holes?

2.0/2.4 headgasket, match the cooling passages on the block with the gasket, some are partially blocked. Feed to the small front freezeout plug on the driver's side of the head with a restrictor. I ran 2 * 1/2 tubes for drains.

thanks for the help..

and what type of restrictor? becuse i was going to use a 3/8 steal braded hose. as my feed. and the drains do you have a better pic of them?

[speeduphoria]

a restrictor, whatever you can find/make that doesnt give the full 3/8 line of oil to the head. in the stock block the restrictor is .140" so use that as a max

ok thanks for the help....and even though i asked this i'm still not clear what gasket do i use? the 2.0 or the 2.2? i'm useing a 2.2 block and a2.0 DOHC head...

Most including myself use the neon gasket since it's a nice multi layer steel gasket instead of the composite TD style gasket.

oh sorry i miss understood your post. and thanks MachIIIRayzor for the answer...does anyone have a rear veiw of the oil return? thanks.

I have a few pics from mock-up but not the end result.
As for the knock sensor in pic #4, don't put it there. mine just melted.
Currently looking for a new location for my new sensor.

ok thanks!! what size fitting are those?
and i cant see your fuel rail, but what are you using for that?
how did you plug the stock oil drains in the block? and do you have to block any water ports off or anything like that? i know how to tig so the head is easy, but i cant figure out the block..

[blown3.8]

pretty much my only confusion is the electronics.

how are you using that cam position sensor??

can i have my sbec flashed to utilize the hep/neon coil app that 90tdvan uses??

my car is a 91 a568 2.5t1

The drain fittings are -8an, I consider it to be the minimum. -10 wouldn't hurt.

The fuel rail is off a Stratus, so is the intake and valve cover.

For the block modifications just drill and tap. I used square head pipe plugs (3/8" I think) to block the 3 oil drains. I also plugged the oil supply port (1/8" I think) and drilled the crankcase pressure equalization passage so it would line up properly with the head.
Do this before you get your block deck machined.

I don't use the cmp sensor either, it's actually not there anymore. It leaked oil anyway.

I ran a stock T1 smec until I got the turbo on now I socketed my smec and use a D-cal calibration. 89_T1_MTX_3-Bar_SwBst_CE_+40 is the one I use, haven't needed to modify it yet.
If you can get a 16v hybrid running the you can also socket your own ecm!

And just to compare distributor clearance, the Stratus intake looks roomier underneath.



Sorry for the big post!
