I just purchased an 87 turbo regal, it is 100% stock with 59k miles. I have managed to break it in two days. Long story short, i am going to tear it down and I cant put it back together with the stock heads, I am going to install Champion iron heads.
The question is which injectors, pump and reg should I run? I will have to use the stock turbo and exhaust for now.
I was told by the previous owner he just changed gas tank and fuel pump, it seems its very difficult to put fuel in the car, I can only squeeze the handle about 20% or it will puke gas all over. My point being, it seems there may be a venting issue. I checked the gas cap after making a pull and it had a large vaccum on it. I thought this may have caused a vapor lock which in turn leaned it out and pushed out the head gasket. Any thoughts?:confused:


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I spill gas almost every time at the pump. Could be the way the gas neck is shaped, who knows. As far as your other questions, I'd run 60# injectors, matching TurboTweak chip, AccuFab adjustable regulator, and a Walbro pump. Make sure you hotwire the fuel pump. If you don't have these already, get a boost gauge and scan tool.
 
Mods, I just noticed how old his post was. Could be that he posted in the Timeslip forum rather than General/engine tech. Could this please be moved? thanks.

What he said...and hopefully the poster sees it.
