  2. I have an 89 engine wiring harness for sale w/ links. nothing wrong w/ it, just bought the wrong harness (needed the electrical harness). = $80

     

    Halman MBC (evolution RX w/ cockpit adjustment knob) = SOLD

     

    HKS Turbo timer type 1 (black) = $50

     

    Autometer Sport-Comp boost gauge w/ blue LED bulb = SOLD

     

    or if u have the electrical harness im looking for i will setup a trade.

  3. so i picked up an 89 quest tsi shp the other day for $500. according to the seller, it starts and runs fine. has a new 14b and fuel pump. when i went to go pick it up though, it would crank but no start. i think it just needed gas but i didnt feel like trouble shooting it in his drive way so i towed it home. list of things that are currently wrong w/ it:

     

    bad rings - smokes under boost

    horrid wiring in the engine bay

    headlights were disconnected to power the fans, which went out

    missing AC line

    hole in the IC

    needs new tires

    missing turbo to ic pipe, previous owner removed his BOV

    removed boost gauge previous owner had an aftermarket one he removed

     

    so i got it home, i just wanted to run down my checklist of things to get it back to running status:

     

    already got:

    new coil and msd 6a box -$60 (woohoo)

    DSM 1st gen BOV /pipe and flange - $40

    boost gauge - free

    1st gen maf - $25

    tires - $100

     

    still need:

    new rings

    new wires - NGK

    new plugs - NGK

    new intake/exhaust mani gaskets

    new head gasket

    new o2 sensor

    new cap and rotor

    new belts

    new thermostat

    new fuel filter

    AC line (missing a piece)

     

    also plan to:

    redo engine bay wiring

    replace all vacuum lines

    reset TPS and IAC

    clean TB and fuel system

    new fluids

     

    is there anythign else i should be doing or looking for? i found the 88 manual on line, but where can i get a good vacuum diagram for the engine, and a complete wiring schematic? where would be the best place to get the above parts i still need? i found a bunch at my local autozone and checker, but i just want to make sure im gettin the best deal. dont need nothing fancy, i just need to get it running for now. i plan to do a complete build up later in the year anyway.

     

    Thnx

     

    p.s. i will get pics soon as i get a chance. great club u guys got here :wink:
