My other turbo project

[glhman]

Well, after being parked for more than 4 years, my $3,700 project drove for the first time today. It still misfires, but at least It's running. I had to rebuilt the tranny pump, pull the alarm, replace the ECM, do a complete tune up, but it was worth it






Can you tell how we got it up the driveway?

Sweet ride!!! You have an injector gone bad or the infamous egr valve/carbon buildup problem?

[turbo.shaft]

Looking at that makes me want to buy a Syclone again.

[glhman]

Probably an injector since the gas sat in it for 5 years...

[glhman]

Update, misfire fixed. It was a vacuum leak. Now if I could fix this false knock, it would be running like a raped ape again

[glhman]

False knock turned out to be real knock, but I pulled some timing, and she runs like a raped ape

Really nice ride! I have always wanted one of those, just never seemed to work out. Congrats on getting it running!
