This is my daily driver and I havent got time lately to work on it. Thanks to Ed, he provided me with a tranny; so what a will do is re-built that one with stronger converter plate and just swap tranny since usually I dont have time to leave the car at the mechanic to repair for things that I know might take a week or so. But soon I'll have some real dyno number he he he

Thankx Shelby... I'll look in to this ASAP
-
You know what, my got feeling is... now that Shelby mention OD... my OD switch doesnt work and te car seems to be in OD all the time even if i turn it off...I need to have my mechanic look into this...
-
OK- seems that the tranny its about to give up. I need to re-built with a upgraded torque converter... Any suggestions on a different turbo auto tranny?
-
Numbers? Well, they are not official number since the tranny slips right at 3500 RPM. Max Power : 160 @ 3500 Max Torque : 238.4 @ 3500 Just Paus...whats the Level 10 and valve mod you talking about bro? I need that right away!!!!! I always thought that the slips was just a boost limitation. Well, now i know... I need mod right away!!! damn!!! I only heard of the convertor and the "plate"( so that it shifts hard) but where? What valve mod? Damn, i am frustrated with this factory auto tranny.... Was tested @ 15 PSI.

Took it to the dyno to find out the clutch was sliping. Right at 3500 RPM the car will stop pulling. ( I thought that it was the boost that i had set at 15psi) but is not. All air/fuel mix were right on target the entire time. but it sucks now that i found out that the CONVERTER IS SLIPING. We only did one test on the dyno because of the problem. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A TRANSMISION THAT IS GOING TO BOLT RIGHT IN. OR IF THERE IS A COMPANY THAT CAN MAKE A CONVERTER PLATE FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANNY. I DONT WANT TO GO 5 SPEED AGAIN.

Last time I talk to them they told me they had no power because of Frances. Try E-mail them again with your phone number. Talk to Ed. And guys... the Dyno is not ready yet so, got to wait a bit. ok! Got to go! PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH! ;D

OPTIMUSPRIME replied to StarQuestRims's topic in Group Purchase Info
IM IN! -
I think thats the car that cought fire and are parting out. I think his rims are on ebay at this point. I think they are chrome! Sad story....but, im not completlt sure about it.
-
Alright...DYNO just arrived! I'll try to be there thursday since that is my day off. LATAAAAA ;D
-
CAR IS FAST AND FURIOUS Im gonna turn the boost a bit more...18 PSI ;D

Im running TWO Secondary injectors , MAS was removed aswell as the 88' ECU. I will take some new pics of the engine but I keep it "factory look" You may want to go with PRO-2 if you have bad injectors. Also a friend of mine will be getting a 4wd dyno soon and you bet i'll be there to test the power. Another thing that I wanted to add is that when I test drove the car after the installation, the boost was set approximately 20 PSI ! Man...Ed check the air/fuel mixure and it stayed right on target all the way through 20 PSI ! By the way I do have a upgraded turbo from majestic and it flows between a 18G and 20G. Dont remember the numbers/name of the compressor. But trust me...Ryan saw the compressor, right Ryan! ha ha

This is been the BEST thing I done to my car! All sputtering, jerks, fuel cuts,etc, etc, are gone for ever! the Starion pulls soooooooooo hard I got to keep the boost at 15 PSI. Specially a automatic...it just keeps pulling very hard. I recomend for everybody to do this upgrade to your car if you dont want MPI, you wont be dissapointed! 8) www.Fuelinjectionpro.com PS: BIG Thanks to ED and Scott.
-
Please let us know ASAP. I am probably gonna go with the TB-Pro 1 and use two Secondary injectors. Im planning going sometime next week to the shop so that they can install it for me. 8)

Eclipse(90-94) rear wing on the Starion
OPTIMUSPRIME replied to OPTIMUSPRIME's topic in Body and interior Mods
which one? Aero tech? If it is, then is not worth it spending $500+ for a 2" longer spoiler plus adding bondo to cover factory hole, i mean thats what i remember from the guy and saw the pic, you know. Theres got to be a car with a spoiler we can attach and make it look better than factory. I just hate the small factory rear spoiler. Im not sure if any of you seen the ones they have on the hondas....looks kinda flat and real looong(about 5-6") real nice!!! If I see a pic of one I'll post it. I know a friend of mine that his friend had a custom job done to his spolier , 2" longer and charged him $300 for it. My friend told me it was bearly notable. So maybe 3-4"... -
Can you run 9s on the front?
OPTIMUSPRIME replied to barbercb's topic in Rims, Suspension and Brake Mods
16x8 deep dish rear(old ones) should work in the front. Looks good. I saw a pic of a Starion with them at the cardomaine site. -

OPTIMUSPRIME replied to barbercb's topic in Rims, Suspension and Brake Mods
INTERESTING, just roll the lip behind fender. HHMMM I want to see a pic. My new question is, has anybody tried.... you know we have 16x7 F and 16x8 R and the sport package(88-89) 16x8 F and 16x9 R. Now does the 16x8 (rear) fit or look better than the front 16x8(sport) . I like the (old) 16x8 R "deep dish look" -
Would like to know if anybody has tried this before, or has taken any mesurments to install this longer wing. I always liked the idea of a longer rear spoiler, not race wings spoliers in top of the factory one. I also thought of maybe some "bondo" and molding and adding about 2-3" to the spoiler.

Fiberglass Aerotech Spoiler pics
OPTIMUSPRIME replied to turbo26tsi's topic in Body and interior Mods
ah man, you took my idea... I always wanted to do that to my car(longer spoiler). I always thought about...maybe molding some fiber glas into the stock to make it longer... looks good ,very good. Except for the holes.... 8) I'll be doing something similar soon... -
Superfro... Let us know how it comes out, I would like to do just the rear(12"), how much for just 2 rears? I always wondered of a company that do that , thankx
