Morgans 740

morganpartee · 08-05-2009, 11:16 PM

Well, figure i'll start a project thread before i get started on +t work.

Subs, 2 10" cheapies, with a Sony Xplod amp (think about 600W RMS)
(Fail cameraphone pic)

Oldie- With pinstriping

Just after the pinstriping was removed.

+Virgos, with nasty yellow bad wax!

Now the soon to come...
Painted the hot side with VHT Aluminum- Just for the sake of rust prevention mainly. But i like how it looks actually!

Its a .60/.63 From a merkur, from another board member. I'm excited!

Edit- Also have Brown tops, and a turbo ECU/EZK. Going to get some oil lines tommorow maybe... But, it ought to be fun!
Comments/Suggestions/love is always welcome.

interesting... :P

need video when +tkthx

morganpartee · 08-05-2009, 11:51 PM

At some point there buddy =p

Hoping to get started/finished on this stuff next week- After i source a bloody downpipe.

cuaz64 · 08-06-2009, 12:02 AM

my car looks very similar to yours....Is a shame that mine still don't run...

morganpartee · 08-06-2009, 12:06 AM

Heh, this one runs most of the time. Still having all kinds of drivability issues, but i just ignore them most of the time...

I keep remembering more stuff i was gonna put in here- Also have an MBC sitting by me, a porshe turbo blowoff (bosch standard, prolly same as the volvo one), stock intercooler... I think thats it. Hmm.

morganpartee · 08-13-2009, 02:18 PM

+t today, pictures hopefull sunday or saturday. Family took the one camera off to tennessee for a week, so it'll be a few days. I'm excited as hell though!

morganpartee · 08-17-2009, 06:30 PM

+t victory? No pictures of during, as i stated before, but it seems to have worked out well. This was done with good parts, though the assembly was done on next to no budget, so i've got some very ghetto-fab'd stuff setup at the moment. Pictures!

Only gotten to drive it once pretty much, but it was fun. Gonna fix my only oil leak, from a shabby bushing reducer from the oil pressure sender fitting where i ran my oil lines from, and it'll be set!

Note- First thing i will likely do (after i install my browntops and A cam) will be to rework the IC piping as a whole. Its rough and majorly rigged...

Mr.Borrie · 08-21-2009, 02:26 PM

interesting! any running vids? .. i love +t's

morganpartee · 08-21-2009, 04:39 PM

No vids yet, still trying to get the kinks worked out. Believe i've got some ECU issues, but definitely no video till i get the browntops and A cam in. It is fun though.

Other news- Don't loosen the wastegate too much, it makes driving suck!

Brown tops today likely, and A cam sunday or so.

Edit- Thanks man. Means a lot coming from someone with a better car than mine =p

DNAsEqUeNcE · 08-21-2009, 05:19 PM

:D

win! Get the ECU issues sorted? Do the MAF signal mod trick to get it dialed in...

morganpartee · 08-21-2009, 05:23 PM

Nah, still think I smoked that fuel ECU out. Might get the browntops in today though. maybe.

Oh- what is this diode trick?

morganpartee · 08-22-2009, 01:32 AM

A cam got swapped tongiht- Idle sounds sexier, and pulls better for sure. Note to the other 740 pervs, doesn't say so anywhere that i found, but you DO have to pull the distributor to swap slotted cams. Makes for another 5 minutes of work, or another 20 if you don't notice it!

Turbo ECU+(hopefully!) browntops maybe? If not then sunday. It feels good to work on this thing!

kimbo · 08-22-2009, 05:34 AM

V cam is much better but that is what i think. nice car anyway

Probly is, got a good price on the A cam, big deciding factor there =p

Anything is better than the M cam though!

Thanks man!

morganpartee · 08-29-2009, 09:44 AM

First running video, which i decided to make, and shot, on the way to school way too early in the morning!
New phone=New video =p

redbaronmulisha · 08-29-2009, 10:09 AM

the sound to that video is interesting,sounds like someone farting thrugh a straw. loving that turbo you got but i can see air under your car for some reason,would you like me to post my angle grinder over to ya?

morganpartee · 08-29-2009, 10:18 AM

Already hacked off 2 coils all around =p Though i do agree it needs to be longer.

The farting through a straw is probably a culmination of the downpipe smacking into the body everytime the engine moves, and my stock exhaust with a big loud cone filter in front, though i do plan on losign a muffler before then.

Also- Just found out i have to hold my phone sideways to get video straight up... Makes no sense!

morganpartee · 08-30-2009, 10:04 PM

So the mike on my phone is garbage. I'll get proper video... Eventually.

Good day- New fuel filter, no more rear muffler, Downpipe doesn't smack my body as much under RPM's, and solved most of my vac leak issues. Also reconnected my water temp gauge, and feel a whole lot safer for it!

morganpartee · 08-31-2009, 12:02 AM

And last post for the day, a picture that came up, that i had forgotten about!

After an epic night of jamming acoustic.

Everyone loves the brick?

I'm the tall guy on the left! =D

1990_740turbo · 09-04-2009, 12:52 AM

bitties love the brick lol

Brandon · 09-04-2009, 11:20 PM

I love 740's because their trunks make the perfect seats. However, I did have to replace bent trunk latches twice because of people sitting on it.

morganpartee · 09-05-2009, 12:02 AM

Yeah man, we jammed for three successive nights on the trunk of my car, it was awesome.

Also- If you pop the trunk, two can sit comfortably in it, with their feet out the back.

rom · 09-05-2009, 02:20 PM

hrmm. don't meet too many male morgans. you named after the car, horse or was it some random whim of your parents?

morganpartee · 09-05-2009, 06:51 PM

Haha, I've met one other Male Morgan ever. I always joke the rum, but its supposidly some Irish name or some other BS.

So yeah, a parental whim lol

morganpartee · 09-26-2009, 06:59 PM

Well, some prettyness, non-leaking intake piping, and a CBV that actually works right now thanks to it!

Siliconeintakes.com is good stuff seems like.

And in other news, something more for looks. All the local ricers have stickers on their rear windows, so I figured I might as well represent.
