88 Conquest parts car--->daily driver--->?

[sellerfeller]

hey everyone.

 

been puttin' this off for quite a while... not much free time.

about March of 09, i bought another quest as a parts car for BlowinUp54B's black 87.

we needed an airdam and new tires which this car had.

pay for airdam and tires.... get car free! well sorta.

http://www.imagehostplus.com/v2/usr/1853/gettin_car4.jpg

we didn't know to remove the bumper with the airdam.

http://www.imagehostplus.com/v2/usr/1853/gettin_car5.jpg

got it home and BlowinUp54B's began removing parts while we were deciding that

the black87(rust bucket) would be the parts car for this one. The next day or so,

BlowinUp54B's blew up my 01 lumina so this one became my

nearly-daily driver up till last week(end of Oct 09). i blew a head gasket.

the box will not be going in the car though trying to figure where to put an adequate 12" sub

that can handle the US Amps 500A.

those injectors came out of MGRISSOM18's turbo MX-5 - also not going into car... just for the pic.

[sellerfeller]

Looks good, just don't let Greg drive it.....lol

 

 

 

thanks.... & great advice!

[BrazilBoy]

Gonna keep it red?

[sellerfeller]

Gonna keep it red?

 

not sure. want to paint it blue though the red is growing on me.

it's a little different red from factory, with more orange in it.

not too good of a paint job on it. looks good in the rain and from a distance.

prob will keep it red.

then buy a blue one.

then a black one.

then....

not necessarily in that order.

 

time will tell i guess.

[BlowinUp54B's]

thanks man.

i'm limited with what i can do since it's been my daily driver.

also not much space nor shelter. looking for a larger place with shop.

would like to go completely through it.... and will before too long.

i got the battery kit from ebay.

can find the one by searching "UNIVERSAL TRUNK MOUNT BATTERY RELOCATION KIT 2 GA"

the seller's user id is "450341" and offers different kits as well.

it wasn't too hard of an install with the great forums we have to follow.

[sellerfeller]

the past few weeks, i got a few things done....

http://www.imagehostplus.com/v2/usr/1853/111009aQ_004.jpg

got the fuel tank out the hard way.

didn't empty the damn thing, and it was stubborn coming down, so when i go to get another grip, it fell on my face. look Mom, no hands....

if not for my glasses, i would have lost my right eye.

i emptied over 8 gallons out of it after the fact.... so at over 7 lbs per gal, i'd say it weighed 80 or so lbs.

4 butterfly closures, knots and bruises.

i had done two of these tank removals before so you'd think i'd know to empty it.

man that thing came down fast.

i took a break and slept it off

http://www.imagehostplus.com/v2/usr/1853/111009aQ_007.jpg

 

cleaned the tank.

it was like new inside.

 

replaced the hoses and filler neck.

removed the in-tank filter.

installed fuel pump.

thanks man. got the valve cover from artinist just the way it is...

yep me likey too. looks a lot like yours.

gonna polish the air diverter... just did get er' on for the first time yesterday.

i look at your engine and can hardly wait for mpi.

 

have a good one.

[SpEeD147]

Great pics, awesome job!

[sellerfeller]

finally got it running with no trouble codes!!!

the shielding on the O2 sensor wire was connected to the signal wire.

the hacked eBay 1g MAS i had was whacked.

didn't know because it was installed when i had other problems (O2 wire and factory MAS Pigtail was shorted, probably the ISC,MPS)

after getting the wideband in, things are more easily understand.

TPS has a slight sweep glitch just off idle but it doesn't throw any codes.

it's set at .500V.

have a good one on the way and hope it will help.

 

still too lean at idle 16s and 17s and off scale.

at cruising speed it varies from 14.1 to 15.8

i figure the high numbers at cruising speed could be caused by the TPS problem.?

1/4 throttle and above the A/F is 13's to 10's and she pulls hard.

WOT A/F is 10.5 consistently, at 15 psi. boost.

 

i don't get 0.9 volts after fully warmed up... the MPS value reads 1.45V.

i don't hear a fast zip... more like a strip-tease zip and it doesn't stop clicking.

will further test the ISC/MPS.

anyone know if this could be caused by missing the little piece in the nose of the ISC?

 

- exhaust manifold is cracked and throw out bearing has started acting up but here she is:

 

 

MPI next month... IF things go as planned.

 

the work continues.... ISC/MPS..
