  1. I have sort of the same issue, the front left amber flasher is not working the bulb is good and flashes with the hazard switch the rear signal works but at half the speed of the right turn signals that work fine.

    Is there two flasher units, one for left and one for right?  Where would they, it be located to test or replace?   THANKS

  2. Hi Reaper,

    I also received black plug wires from rick last summer, sort of disappointed but didn't want to whine, never thought about the loom thing. What diameter loom did you use? I was just looking for red loom on line and came across these that could look sharp considering the original separators (bracket) disappeared. 

    THANKS, Peter

  3. Hi Gang,

     Replacing original fuel pressure regulator tomorrow, DOHC's run at 55 pounds of pressure, I bought a Delphi FPR (FP 10036) that runs at 44lb'ss , should I be concerned ?

    I notice another few that are supposedly compatible are also rated for 43-44 pounds.

     

    ACTUALLY I just looked at the Standard at rock auto and that rated 55 lbs, but what i have heard and read that DELPHI is a better product than standard.

  4. Hi guys,

    MY DOHC out of storage three weeks ago, new fuel pump, tank, and sending unit installed last week, been running great,\the few times I've taken it out, very excited till today, It cut out three times, just like someone turned the ignition off in the middle of traffic.

    I coast to the best possible place, put on my flashers shut everything down and wait 15 minutes and she will start like nothing ever happened and take me another five miles or so and repeat. It seems the longer I let her rest the farther she will take me till I got home.  Any thoughts on what to look at next? MAP sensor? Fuel pressure regulator?  Last summer new, cap, rotor, coil, plugs, throttle sensor, two years ago new external fuel filter.

     

    Afterthought! I just went and checked codes and did find a 54 (distributer sync pickup circuit), its odd they are new parts last fall and the car is running and sounding great, then nothing?? 

    Thanks again, 

      Peter

  5. Awesome, I'm tempted, Got a local shop I took my TC to a week ago and who said he would resurface and make like new for $600 and keep original.

    or go to 16" with easier to clean rims, I'm torn because my 15" tires are practically new. add new tires getting up to $1200

     

  6. Must be fun, Rick offered me that package a few years ago when I was replacing a blown turbo, upgraded turbo, stage2 computer, upgraded injectors and a few other things, I was tempted but passed.

    Personally for me the 16v has as much power as I need and is so fun to drive, I was just looking for any simple tweaks to enhance it without starting any major projects. I pulling it out of winter storage on Saturday and already have a laundry list of thing I need/ want to address.  

    Thanks

  7. Thank you for your input, at this point I dont think I'm going to invest in a performance computer and change out the BOV and map sensor (sounds expensive) maybe down the road it could be a fun project.

    Sort of wondering if the $20 dollar Grainger part and replacing or capping off the BOV sounded feasible without doing any damage. I'm replacing the tank, pump and sending unit this weekend, the a whole list of other TC projects I've thought of over the winter. 

    Thanks again,

      Peter

  8. A moderator from Facebook who seems very nice and knowledgeable, he most likely also be a member here, posted something to me and I would like some opinions, before I start considering it.

    I'm fine trying to keep my TC running straight OEM, but would always try to get a little more "push / Jump" out of her if it wouldn't damage anything else or cost a lot of money.  

     might I suggest a simple $20. Grainger valve setting the boost to 13PSI? You won't be disappointed. Caviot is your stock BOV in the airbox is gonna leak boost above 10-11PSI. Replace it with plastic Bosch or cap off the outlet. Its wholly unnecessary with the factory RB5 IHI turbo
