'93 945T is stock and I was getting into it at 12psi. Pop and then no power. 10-15 psi compression on cylinders 2 & 3. No mixed oil/coolant that we can tell and no bubbling coolant. No smoke out the back. Got spark all around. Shutting down cylinders 2 and/or 3 does not change idle but shutting...

Hey all. I tried searching then forum to no avail. I just installed knocksensems and was wondering what kinda settings people start with in TS. When viewing the knock retard gauge, mine seems to act strange. When knock is detected the gauge goes to whatever number i have set for maximum retard...

My dads account on here, thelocalspoke, will not let him view for sale/wanted, off topic or even post! It says he has insufficient privileges when he tries to. Anyone know whats up with this?

This my 242. Some of you have seen it before. It's a mess. But it is finally turbocharged. And 10.3 to 1. And still needs a bath REALLY bad. Thanks to Brett helping cleaning up the tune. Right now the car lives 25 miles away from me. It's where work is more easily done. Was able to get it...

Tuning time is almost here and I need a baseline to get this thing running. I've got an old stock Garrett and am running v2.2 with spark. Greentops with stock boost levels for now. Whatcha got?

I will temporarily be running a the old T3 and the older manifold. This is a B23F block and I didn't get any of the parts with the manifold for helping support its weight, except for a broken stud in the bottom of the manifold. And I have no pictures or ideas of what to go by. What are you guys'...

This happened a couple weeks ago. Just got around to showing you guys. Buddy was driving and couldn't handle the POWAH. I drove it home from the wrecker the next day, complete with driveshaft rubbing on the gas tank. Oh well, could have been a lot worse, and thank God it still runs and all 4...

I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but I couldn't find it. What would you guys say is a safe number for max rev's on an unbalanced B23FT at appx 20psi? I'm finally getting around to cleaning this motor up for install into my 242 and don't want to disassemble the relatively low mile (~150k)...

I know that many people have said that EGR codes do NOT cause the ECU to go into limp mode, but can it still cause some running issues down low? I replaced my severely cracked manifold with what I had available, which i was a non-egr one. I ran around for a few weeks with the egr system not...

Thought you guys may like this. DD status car didn't need more than 2.5" and its very quiet, with a nice tone. Flows good and fits tight. 3rd exhaust ive done from scratch and its the best one. Ignore the cruddy looking weld. It the first one I had done on this thing, and was still getting the...

Alright, well I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. I didn't wanna embarress myself but I thought it had worked out. About a week after I got this 945T, I was changing the cooked hotside that I had showed you guys. In doing so, with my unexperience with turbo cars, I pulled the drain out of...

I'm sure this has come up, and I've seen some stuff but nothing set in stone. My new '91 940T began no-starting the other day. It would randomly start, but usually nothing. I narrowed it down to this relay, which is common as we all know. I wired in a standard relay socket and put in a GOOD...

Just pulled my hotside that had a visible crack in the bottom. I can't beleive it got too 3 psi. Ever seen anything like this? sorry for the bad pics

Have you used these? http://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-radius-arm-bushing-740-760-780-940-960-urethane It looks like 2 bushings, but why are they so cheap? So should I just buy 2 of these sets to do both sides?

$500 bucks, complete with the wooden grill. 230k miles. Needs some work, but after re-attaching the wastgate rod, it created boost. Not as much as it should, but I need to replace all the vacuum lines/turbo hoses and fix a minor exhaust leak right at the hot side/downpipe. First Turbobrick...
