OK, there is your first problem! You have a mechanic.

Ouch... LOL

Actully its my best friend and he works as an engineer at a racing development shop in Florida.



What if I do a tune up and change my wires may this help my problem?? also what kind of plugs do you guys recommend?


- Mike

just use the oem recommended champion copper plugs, they work the best for us. stock heat range is "12" in the part# but you can use the "11" or "9"heat ranges.

With the fear of looking like a complete idiot... What do you mean by heat ranges??

- Mike

[89daytonaTII]

i can't get all scientific about it but it's just how hot the electrode gets. the 9 stays cooler than the 12 and is better in higher boost applications

So i ask for a 9 heat range when i get my plugs?


And why is champion the best??? I always heard the NGK were great for turbo's and champions was teh worst.

NGK's are good plugs, I have 'em in my Daytona. But I have Champions in the Shelbys. Champions always seem to be great in Mopars.

well, if it was fuel injected, you had an electrial problem of some kind....

Do you guys know where I can get Intercoller hosing? My IC is mounted behind my radiator and it is using Radiator hosing for tubing.

I want to re mount my IC to the front of my car and run silicon hosing but im not sure where I can go to get it..

what do you mean "behind" your rad. I thought it was a T1. did someone install a rad/Ic combo out of a T2/T4 car?? if so then the IC would be beside the rad.

as for IC piping when using a front mount. the cheap way to do it is to buy aluminized exhaust piping, size of your choice, and cut it up and use it for the straight sections, and buy assorted reinforced rad hoses that the exhaust piping will slide into and use the rad hoses for the bends that you need. If you got money, you can buy mandrel bend piping from places and make the entire system metal with your choise of rubber(cheap) or silicone(expensive/unnecessary) connectors

Its an Aftermarket IC and the orginal owner attached it behind the radiator.

ALSO THSI DAY SUCKS....

I go out to take the daytona for a drive and i put teh key in, press the cluthc and turn the key and well I get nothing.. and I mean nothing... No beeps, no clicks, no attempt to turn over.. I get nothing..

Im thinkign its my ignition because the ignition control module was so hot when i first bought it and when I removed teh steering column I saw numbers written on the ignition with a marker.. Numbers kinda like it came from a junk yard...

What do you guys think and is there any way to test to make sure it is that.. .I know its not teh battery because I have power to lights, radio, etc...

Occasionally I've had trouble with the battery terminals being corroded causing symptoms just like that. Try cleaning the terminals really good.

I dotn think its the battery, because all my lights work, and i have a fully charged abttery... And when I turn the key I get nothing... And it doesnt even feel right when I turn the key

[supercrackerbox]

Feel right like how? Does it feel like the key isn't quite turning far enough? Do you have tilt steering? If two trains left Boston and Denver at- wait, scratch that last one.

Something's wrong on my Daytona where the ignition will only work of the steering wheel is it it's highest position. Anything lower and it won't turn far enough to start. For now, try moving the collumn up and down and try it in each notch. Does anyone know how to actually fix it if that's the situation?
