My new 1986 GN T-Top write up

[TURBOPOWERED68]

miscellaneous shit
Broken MAF plug retaining clip

..
Abandoned OE alt to battery wire??

What does this plug onto?

gaskets on the turbo,
Do you think the header, Turbo and DP will need resurfacing??

Could this be why i haven't heard the fan go on high??

the radiator doesn't have much life left if any.

besides Recycling, "recoreing" and "garbaging" the radiator is there any chemicals that can be added to get a few more years out of it??

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

DP flange needs to be resurfaced

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

looks like the puck didn't make contact with the housing

Gasket was also blown out.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

BTW new modified OE Garret exhaust housing is on it way.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

this could have been an air leak at the Turbo's inlet

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Up pipe is bent HTF does this hard as heck pipe get bent??

The DP's outlet has a similar dent right on the end of the pipe.

Run some RM125 and straight water through the radiator. If needed, replace it with a $98.00 Camaro radiator. Get some good t-clamps for the hoses. If your turbo has a bad seal and is blowing oil into the intake, I got a rebuilt cartridge from Bison that cured that problem.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Forgot about RM125, ill give it a shot.

The turbo looks almost brand new, no oil and ZERO UP-DOWN/ IN-OUT PLAY.
Already talked to Bison, something is getting done.

Call a local rad shop and see how much a cleaning is. I got mine flused, pressure checked, and painted blak for $50. Its another local shop that we use alot so that maybe why I got mine painted but the proces should be typically consistant.

Dave I like the car, but pal you are out of your mind... Get the car together and we will see who is buying... Good Luck with the car

The $98.00 F-Body radiator dropped my temps from 190-200 degrees down to 165-175 on even the hot days. You may have to add an external oil cooler, but well worth it.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

Any body have an engine and engine compartment wire routing diagram?

thanks for your help.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

The new Garret OE exhaust housing is in.
a new #8 gauge wire is in from the alt. to the starter.

looking at the rest of the car i just noticed that the double pumper wiring was/is run UNDER the frame

SO street - wiring - Frame its in a perfect place to get smashed

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

as you seen on the other thread "3.5 THDP"
parts on hand or ordered
1- 3.5 DP
2- Both front upper tubular control arms
3- HR motor mounts.

Going to order some Moog ball Jionts

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

I sold the 3.5 DP
So I will be keeping the 3 DP
The control Arms are in and so are the motor mounts
I also ordered the 3 gauge holder from GNS.
Now if could just get to work on installing the parts and get this pos on road.
