Hello,
Car is a 1982 244 Turbo (kjet).
Over the last couple of days I have installed:
- Do88 intercooler
- new silicone couplers
- Oil catch can (generic) routed from PCV to catch to intake
- Replaced intake manifold (mahle gasket). Did have an issue with one stud.
- New o2 sensor
Took the car for a 5 minute drive today, wanted to ensure everything was well, but it wasn't.
On hard boost and when changing gear the exhaust pops and backfires - which is kinda cool but never done that before. Also, the temperature is up, its running hotter than normal, and its idling at 1500rpm instead of 900rpm.
I am assuming that the inlet manifold is not properly installed? Air is getting in? Would that account for increased temperature though? I torqued the bolts to 15lbft. Only one at the very end had an issue.
Any thoughts?
