Im an 83, silly. I'm not ic'd

Yeah throttle plate was open, I did everything correctly where can I get rings? Or are there any you recommend?

I bought my starion ('83 flatty) recently with 206k on it. new head, new turbo... ...stock bottom end. I checked compression, it was 120, 125, 125, 130... ive been reading that compression shoudl be in the 142-149 area for the widebody, but it claimed that the flatty's minimum compression was 119, with no more than 10% variation between cylinders. anyway.... with thinkin compression is fine, i bought a manual boost controller and turned up boost from about 6, to about 8 or so and ran it around the neighborhood to she what it could do. Recently i have noticed a slight leak of oil dripping from the turbo. (directly under the oil line.. NOT the oil line, but directly under it) The car also smokes a little now at start-up and under a slight load. Car also now cuts out as soon as vacuum reaches 0 on the boost gauge. Thanks in advance, Mark

First off, im looking for a downpipe-back exhaust. I'm running no muffler, and hollow cats. You can only imagine the sound I'm also looking for the rear spoiler from a wide body to place on to my '83 Flatty - (compatible-?) My 5spd is also making a whining/growl noise in 1-2-3 and 5th gear, so I'm wondering where i can locate secondary shaft bearings? I also need a new throwout bearing, and a pilot bushing/bearing. Thanks! Oh and please just text me, it's easier... i dont always check my PM's. mark 916 350 1818

Hey I'm wanting to drop an SR20DET into my '83 starion, i'm wondering if anyone would know how easily, and IF it can be done? If you could, just text me. I don't always use the computer. Thanks! mark 916 350 1818

Thank you, but what are my options for a front dam for a flatty?

Hey, was wondering 2 things... Does the wing from a wide body fit the flatty? Does the front lip fit the flatty? Thanks Mark

UPDATE: Fixed boost problem... too much back pressure... hollowed cats out, boosts like crazy

My boost cuts out at around 3400 and car sputters like a fuel cut... I'm thinkin the vacuum advance in the distributor..?

I bought my first Starion a few days ago and im totally excited! Now, I bought the car from a man named Evan here in Fairfield CA., he had it for sale on this site too, 83 black starion. Owner since '84 At the time of purchase i realized the valve lash needed adjustment right away, but i decided to take it for a test drive anyway... NO BOOST! Turbo does not spin at idle (Stock turbo, receipt proves rebuild - $775) But it does spin momentarily when cranked and first starts up. No Shaft play, compressor spinds freely when off. When at idle, boost guage reads around 12 i believe, and after adjusting valves properly (thank god it didnt sound like a diesel anymore!) i took it for a spin again and boost guage will NEVER exceed 0 PSI. The previous owner claims that it may need Rings, but compression is good... Also, waste gate actuator arm was not hooked up, but i used a paper clip as a carter pin to hook up the waste gate arm, this still didnt fix the issue... Im just curious if anyone can point me in a direction? I possibly thinkin the waste gate vacuum diaphragm may have a hole in it, but.... is the diagphragm metallic or metal? Thank you. -Hubble By the way, call me or text me anytime 916-350-1818 UPDATE: yesterday a friend and I disassembled the back side of the turbo (the plate that covers the waste gate) and now the car boosts to about 7 psi.. but will cut out at about 3400rpm... any ideas?
