  1. Times are rough, I need to sell my car. I really don't want to after all the work i've put into it, but i need money so here goes. 1987 Conquest TSI 109k miles on chassis Motor: about 1.8k on rebuilt motor (changed oil at 600 miles and again last week) bottom end is stock, but replaced stock head with clearwater head and had the stock cam/etc switched to the new one. balance shaft elimination kit ARP head studs all new gaskets/seals/platinum spark plugs new coil/cap&rotor/plug wires @ 98k miles stock turbo/intake custom aluminum 1/4 inch hard pipes with 3 inch accordian hard pipe Greddy type S blow off valve on OVCP stock MAS is on right now, but i eliminated the can, have a K&N filter on, and also have a 1g mas that i ran for a while. Griffen aluminum radiator replaced the electrical radiator fan with a flex fan (Keeps it running at half on the temperature gauge, even during the summer.) recently replaced injector clips hks turbo timer new battery Exhaust: 2.5" downpipe/2.5" high flow cat just recently installed/2.5" HKS catback Suspension: about 4k miles on Tokiko HP struts/Suspension Techniques lowering springs replaced the top plates because the stock ones were cracked (not adjustable camber just OEM) replaced tie rods/ball joints Interior: you can search for posts from a while ago showing the process on here.. I basically used vinyl dye and changed the color of my interior from maroon to black/gray. replaced the front seats with Corbeau racing seats and corbeau brackets so they are adjustable racing harnesses bride steering wheel replaced the back seat with black carpet The only other things that I can think of that have been done are that I smoked the tail lights and replaced the bulbs with red l.e.d.s other than that the car sat for a while, but the tires are in good shape still and I kept it clean while it sat for about 8 months. I need to pay for school so I am trying to get $4000 for the car. I figure... I paid $3500 for the car @ 94k. I barely drove it, and put at least $2500 worth of parts into the car I feel like $4000 is fair. Not to mention, it's getting rare to find many of these in as good of condition and with as low miles as this car has. If you're interested or want more pictures just send me a private message on here and I'll respond as soon as I can. Thank you, -Kyle K http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1251.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1252.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1254.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1263.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1265.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1269.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a298/starquest/DSCN1261.jpg
  2. after putting the 1g MAS on i still failed 2 / 3 tests except this time I failed CO and passed NOX hc - 1.82 / 1.60 co 18.3 / 15.00 nox - 1.90 / 2.50 i'm so sick of this s***, anybody wanna buy an 87tsi with 109k miles on it?
  3. put in a 1gMAS i picked up from Tubbs friday car seems to be running good, before the A/F ratio gauge read 2 green bars now it's down to 1 green bar so it helped a little with the running rich problem. I'm thinking before I go back to emissions I should try and find another stock downpipe with the extra cat and put that on.
  4. Well, I don't know what happened but that bucking problem just went away.. The only time it did it was when I was driving for about 45 minutes to an hour so the engine was hot when that was happening. I'll do the ECU code check and make sure nothing is going on there. The cat is brand new, i mean it's only got about MAYBE 100 miles on it do you think there would still be alot of build up? I know the car is running rich because I hooked up an a/f ratio guage and it's 2 bars above middle at WOT
  5. I'm gonna borrow a 1g MAS from Tubbs to try taking emissions with. As far as the EGR I bought a used one, but i was told it worked fine it looks new and I cleaned the tunnels when I rebuild my motor last year so I don't know why the EGR would have any problems.. How can I check to make sure the EGR is actually working?
  6. Okay so I went to emissions again today... this time I advanced my timing and drove around for like 20 minutes before I went to the emissions place. These are the numbers: HC 1.86 Fail - 1.60 CO 8.84 Pass - 15.00 NOX 3.89 Fail - 2.50 so as you can see i'm still failing 2/3 tests, but at least this time I passed the CO test WOOT!! I don't know where to go from here, this s*** is seriously so frustrating... can someone just fix my car and get it to pass then you can keep it. this is still using 1G Mas
  7. hey everyone, it's been years since I've been active on the forum but I'm finally trying to get my car to pass emissions and back on the road again!!! FINALLYYYYY... anyways I need a stock mas because someone told me that using the 1g mas might be preventing me from passing emissions along with a few other things I need to do. So really all I need it for is to take emissions testing then I'll most likely put the 1g mas back on afterwards because I have a K&N filter that fits perfectly with my hardpipes and I'm not even sure if the stock one will fit without putting a different pipe or accordian tube on. anyways if someone has one that they can sell me for cheap I'd really appreciate it It's good to be back -Kyle
  8. i can't be too sure those numbers are that accurate. Those numbers are from the time I took the test with alcohol in my tank. The time before that was on old gas and the numbers were lower.. John, I'm not sure what u mean, which filters?
  9. also, I drove around today for a while and after about 30-45 minutes when I would hit boost my car would bog down and start hesitating really bad like jerking as soon as I'd hit any boost. If i kept it under 0 boost that would be the only way I could rev up. As soon as I would go WOT it would start bogging down and wouldn't go anywhere, felt like it was gonna backfire really bad or something. It only would happen once I had been driving for a while. When I first started driving around I could go full throttle to 6k rpms with no problem, after a while I had a hard time getting it above 4000 because of that problem that would start.
  10. Hey everybody, thanks for the input. Yeah, i still live in Scottsdale/Tempe area. Plugs, wires, coil, cap&rotor are all brand new. Injectors are not leaking and I don't have my stock MAS anymore.. Here are the numbers from my last test: HC 3.18 CO 30.08 NOX 3.48 I have to get them under these numbers HC 1.6 CO 15 NOX 2.5
  11. What's up everyone, it's been probably 2 years since my last post on starquestclub.. Hope everything is good in 2009. The forum looks good, it's definitely more user friendly now. Anyway I'll get to the point. About 2 years ago I got a cracked head on my 1987 conquest and we replaced it with a new one. During the rebuild we replaced all the gaskets and did the balance shaft removal kit. For a while it wasn't starting and we couldn't figure out why so I took it to a shop and they said my security system was cutting off my ignition so they rewired it and now my car is starting up and on the road again. It's running pretty decent, a little rich I think... My brother welded a new cat on for me during the rebuild and I still can't pass emissions. I replaced the EGR and all the stock emissions components are still in the car. I have a 1gmas, hks 2.5 exhaust with a 2.5inch high flow cat, 2.5 *DM downpipe, the motor is basically stock except with a new head and the BSE kit done. Also my air condiitoning is gone, I don't know if that matters. I took it through emissions once and failed not too bad, but then I went through with alcohol in my tank and it made my results higher than the first failure with no alcohol I didn't get it. I put a quart of s-l-x denatured alcohol in about a quarter tank of premium and I did this once before and passed wayyyyy under the legal standard. This time it was over the amount when I took the test with nothing in the gas. I didn't get that at all. I think it might be an old gas issue, so I filled the tank up with premium and I'm going to put this CRC Guaranteed to Pass addative in the tank and run it through, then it says to fill the tank up after you ran it through and go take emissions. So i'm going to try that and see what happens. If anyone has any ideas for me to try I'd like to hear them. I think ever since I put my 1gmas on my car has been running rich.... I think my last resort will be to replace the stock ECU with one of those injector kits. Any help is appreciated greatly, Kyle
  12. well i think i found an EGR and i'm gonna just order a new high flow cat and muffler. so thanks guy appreciate it!
  13. dude that's bullstinky... you wanna see what i've been driving around?! this isn't my car but it looks exactly like it. http://www.dirtcheapcarrentals.com/images/aspire.jpg NOW THAT IS A HOOPTY
