Recommendations for my motor:
My new 9K mile ’87 Turbo-T blew the rubber hose that runs from the turbo and actuates the factory waste gate. Oops. And as a consequence, it lunched a head gasket and is in the hospital and I am considering the following modifications other than a bone stock fix it.
1. Ported irons with 1.77 intakes and port matched intake.
2. 50 Lb. matched injectors
3. Walbro 340 pump and hotwire kit.
4. 160 degree thermostat.
5. Power plate
With the above mods will the car at least run on ca’s crappy 91 octane and see any performance gains up until the time that I can do the turbo, down pipe, cat, and maybe a converter. I do not know where I want to go performance wise, but I will know when I get there.
I am open to any and all suggestions and comments.
