welcome to the bad heater core club, mines been bad for two years.

i can drive mine on a freeway run hard as i can in 100 degree heat, pull over and grab my ovcp and its COOL to the touch. you wanna cool things down add a functial scoop and open up the grill a little. i have no proof but i would be willing to bet my underhood temps are half that of a stock quest. knotice here where the air from the larger grill opening goes....right across the head. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/questmanual2/silverquest/9deb1c2d.jpg and knotice in this pic if you look in the hood scoop opening you see the glare from the flash, thats my chrome OVCP that gets cold air constantly blown across it before it enters the TB. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c107/questmanual2/silverquest/77c8a087.jpg

my fuel pressure gauge is mounted to my hood, real simple way to read it while driving...take the hood off http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/nats005.jpg or get a lenght of hose dummy http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/nats001.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/nats002.jpg obviously dont leave it like that, its only for testing! another testing thing i have done is stick in two primarys since its easier to know a primary injector is working right cause if it idles fine then chances are its working fine. so if you have two primarys you know are good stick those two in there and see how it acts, again only for testing dont leave it that way. but that secondary you put in may have been ok but went south just that fast.

my raised white letters are 60 series yes, but those are also 15in rims

i have a good condition stock jet valve head with no cracks, $100 + shipping. its complete with valvetrain and valves and ready to go. it was pulled from this car and thats it there in the pic. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/gregs/greg105.jpg

intercooled flatty here on the boards has a group of gauges for sale for $60 in the for sale section, including a boost gauge.

my experiences with ones i have bought... 87 white/maroon blown head gasket $500 88 SHP silver/black drove back from indy $650 85 flatty red/maroon bad trans $400 86 technica red/maroon rusty but running $450 87 black/black running and paid way too much $1600 86 red/black drove back from PA, $1300 a conqest with a blown head gasket is a $500 peice, discription you give of the body just brought it down to a $300. how long has it been sitting? i got a block here i can show you that ALL that was wrong was a blown head gasket in the #4 then got parked for a couple years. that blown head gasket left #4 full of WATER and now the piston and cylinder wall are rusted together and the motor is locked up tighter then a drum.

it will work just fine in its current state, but since its free hey why not. shame on you for not installing sooner i want to nominate the maft as mod of the year for a TBI car.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/quest006-5.jpg funny thing is mine does NOT sit low out front at all, new struts, new isolators and 200-300 lighter out front. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/Misc%20Quest%20Pics/DSCF7348.jpg

mine was eating tires REAL BAD. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/barn/barn010.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/barn/barn007.jpg we got all but camber back into specs and mine no longer eats tires. the camber wont have as much effect on tire wear as bad toe.

i have my plugs gapped at .41 running 20psi and i have never "blown out" my spark. i would try swapping parts off nancys to see if you can find the problem. i would maybe try her coil cause maybe yours is just crap or something. you mentioned you knew what fuel psi was at idle but whats it at when your trying to boost?

thank you for reminding me why i have a few trans sitting here i have never messed with.

oh as far as how it mounts to a stock starion exhaust, as far as the mani goes it keeps everything pretty much in the same location. BUT the flange is slightly different on the 17c, on a starion the top exhaust stud on the back of the turbo is at 12 oclock, on the 17c its at like 10-11 oclock. its also got a smaller bolt pattern which is weird cause its got a .25 larger exit. you will also NOT be able to find any direct fit gasket for it but you can mod a stock starion gasket to work. you can see here how i hogged the holes to make it work. you will also need to do the same to your exhaust flange. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/car025.jpg so you will probably need to cut the flange on your stock exhaust and **** it a little to line up with the new bolt pattern on the 17c.

yea its the same exact one i run with my 17c. here is the one thats on my car, in this pic thats a stock starion mani and 20G turbo on the left, T3 17c and modded mani on my car right now on the right. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/turbo009.jpg look at the monster TD06 exhaust wheel on the 17c...much love. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/turbo010.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/BlackQuest/turbo012.jpg here is a close up of the repaired crack on mine that i thought was leaking, but as you can see there are no signs of leaking or signs of the weld not holding so i didnt end up swapping them out i just kept my current one on there. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/barn/car001.jpg turned out this is where my leak was at. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/barn/car002-1.jpg

lets analize post #11 for you. 1. "you can get injectors here also" i at no point said mike you should buy injectors, i only offered him another option. 2. " cant you try the injectors outta nancys car just to verify it is or isnt your injectors." ... this is my real suggestion to starwolf in the post, that he spend no money and first try another pair of injectors. now mike already had a set of injectors so he tried those instead and cured part of the problem but not all of it. so i make another suggestion to starwolf to spend a whole $30 and get them cleaned because mine were cleaned and have had great success. then you go off the handle after that pretty much. you may want to go back and read it again cause i think your lost because at no where in any post i have did i make a personal attack on anything. now if your done kicking and stomping your feet around maybe we can go back to mikes problem. i still stand with my thoughts that he should have them sent and cleaned, if they are bad after the cleaning then they would have soon failed on him anyways so for $30 he saved being stuck on the side of the road. if those injectors come back bad then i have a couple injectors candi pulled from CJs 86 that were 87 injectors and wont work for her car. i dont normally come off injectors but if those dont work out for him then i would probably let him have these to see if they would work for him. or i can sit here and argue more, i am up in the air about it right now.

because i know starwolf personally and i know what his budget does and doesnt allow and stock replacement isnt in his budget. will they work, yes i already stated that. will delphi injectors work better the faulty stock ones yes, and thats why i suggested them as a second sorce to purchase them so he wasnt limited to just one option. my account of use of delphi injectors was on my 85 flatty with perfectly fine working injectors. i had another 86 technica that needed injectors and i bought replacement delphis for $55 a peice (110 total) and that car was parted due to rust so i had the delphi inhjectors laying around. so while i had two sets of good working injectors i swapped them back and forth several times compairing the two, now like YOU i have NO PROOF other then what i experienced first hand. with the stock injectors the car ran and performed perfect, with the delphi injectors idle as choppy and power was not a smooth thru rpms and there was a knoticable difference in the cars overall performance. the dephi injectors use a different spray pattern and if you research them are recommended to run a higher idle fuel pressure then the stock 36-38 that a stock quest uses. now with a adjustable fuel pressure regulator to tune fuel, and a maft to also tune then yes the delphis could become potential good performing injectors if you can tune the car around them. starwolf has none of these tuning abilities with his car so for my experiences he will be happier with a good working stock replacement injector for his faulty secondary. your sitting there sticking your chest out about all the sound advice you give memebers, is this about how great you are or is this about starwolf being able to get his car up and running on a limited budget? myself and countless other members have had success with cleaning stock injectors, in your case it happen to not work out for you. all i did was suggest that if they are working it wouldnt hurt to have them cleaned for $30 to keep them in good working order are, and we are now on PAGE 2 of your arguement. imagine that.

man i love those blank face gauges. maybe they would help me get outta some speeding tickets.."do you know how fast you were going?"...."ummmm NO, look for yourself"

yes paypal is fine. (vcyberbob@hotmail.com) let me know on the flat rate box cause i normally ship with USPS anyway. i just normally have stuff boxed before i get there and just dont think about them.

i have personally ran delphi injectors before yes, and they dont perform as well as a good working stock injector setup. i am not sure why you constantly think everyone but yourself just fell off the wagon yesterday. can i see this dyno sheet that proves this gains you claim? didnt think so.

man you got lucky, i got one good pic before my batteries died on my camera, i really need to stop buying cheap batteries for it. like i said the crack is right by where it starts to open up to send air to the turbine wheel, so its not a crack where air can leak outside the housing. air that would leak thru that crack would be going there anyway a half inch away. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/My%20car/car016-1.jpg

if someone wants this and doesnt have access to a welder i can tack on the needed stud before i send it to you. all it takes is a car ride over to herbs to use his welder. forgot to mention it is stress relieved and mildy ported also. i was actually gonna keep this so if it doesnt sell its not gonna break my heart.

knotice in your pic how the vac line your holding has a blue stripes?? those are there for a reason, the other hoses have them too if you look close enough, just make sure your colors on the hoses stay matching, follow each one from the TB and make sure that in the blue stripe hose that only hoses with blue stripes are running off that hose and you should be good.

yes it is a little harder on the turbo without a BOV, the bov releases backedup pressure when the TB closes when you shift gears. without the BOV that air backs up thru the pipes and exits the turbo, while its doing that it brings the turbo wheel to a violent stop and is hard on the bearings. but you need to find a problem and you need to eliminate the BOV as the problem so you need to get it bypassed and take it for a drive. this is candis car when we first got it, knotice the 1G bov... http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/candiscar/candi023.jpg it leaked like a mother trucker and made the car run like crap, but it wasnt until we spent about $300 in tune up parts and it still ran like crap. i grabbed a peice of exhaust pipe and made a bypass peice and took it for a drive and BINGO! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/candiscar/candi3022.jpg

ok thats your personal experience. mine were sent to witchhuter to be cleaned and have performed flawless for over 2yrs now running 20psi, thats my personal experience. my personal experience with these claimed "awsome" delphi injectors is yea they work ok, but perform no where near as good as a good working stock injector.

i got 2 12" fans that work perfect sitting right here, $20 ea + shipping. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/My%20car/car007.jpg here you can see them when they were mounted to a stock radiator. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/vcyberbob/barn/55005.jpg
