  1. i will also hit home depot and put together a boost leak tool asap
  2. ya it will be going in in the next couple days, it is running pretty good, idles smooth no miss and i am in a basic area so just idle and 2500rpm test, no load test so i am crossing my fingers lol.
  3. So the previous owner told me he replaced all the vacuum lines so I decided to check them out and what a mess lol, I am pretty sure they just guessed on the routing, so I ripped it all out yesterday and replaced it all, runs much better now, not 100% yet but much much better. It's still only makes 7psi and drops fast.
  4. Price on airdam shipped to 96002?
  5. lol, i was really surprised how cheap the California cats are for these lol
  6. ya i have been thinking clogged cats also, ill start looking at the fuel system also, i have a 3" downpipe coming that i can weld in a second 02 bung so i can get my lm-1 on it. i have to smog it this week so i may just bring it in as is and cross my fingers and grab main cat and gut the primary if i have to, ill be putting in a 3" catless exh once it passes and putting the stock in the rafters till next time.
  7. ok so over the weekend i did plugs, wires, fuel filter and oil change on my new 88 conquest, also set initial timing to 10btdc. it had a stutter at part throttle just before it would start building boost that i could power through usually and it would go away. after the tune up it has got worse and will pop through the intake, other wise it runs very smooth. i have sprayed some carb cleaner around the intake and vac lines and havent found a vacuum leak yet, also since i got it a couple weeks ago it wont make above 7psi and falls of to 2-3psi by 4500rpm. i have a new 02 on the way and will put together a boost leak tool this weekend any other thoughts on what i should check?
  8. What is the 4lug bolt pattern on those? I have a nice set of enkie 92's in 4x108.
  9. thanks thats good news, now if i can get a couple drivability issues fixed and get it through the smog check, i might be able to start throwing some fun stuff on this thing lol.
  10. thanks, i will definitely keep an eye on it, i recently bought a parts car that has a low mi engine with a njv head, arp head studs and not sure what else until i pull it more apart. i may drop the head and studs with a good headgasket on mine if it gets any worse. i just did an oil change with a good synthetic 10-30w oil and am running a can of seafoam in the gas tank at the moment, ill check the compression again on my next oil change. need to get it through the good ole california smog check next week :ugh:
  11. #1-135 #2-118 #3-120 #4-132 Not bad huh? Car has 132k mi.
  12. I have one in good shape $45 shipped
