[jesiotrot]

Picked up an 89 I-Mark RS bumper today..decent shape... needs a tiny bit of finishing...couldn't walk by it though...now what to do with it??

all new brakes and braking components installed. also re-installed mbc after sorting out the timing issue, operator head space. car pulls hard all the way to 7,000. weird what a $5 mbc and non-dragging caliper will do.

Excuse my ignorance, but can I trouble you for a quick "how to?" I want to add my MBC but dont know where to hook up the vaccum lines. TU

This can be a dangerous question, hooking up a MBC is a very simple quick thing. If u gotta ask how then idk if u should be messing with boost levels. Have you done anything else to the car? ecu upgrade, bigger injectors, fpr? Oh and the MBC goes between the wastegate and intake. Goodluck

[lepard323]

Thanks. I was hesitant to ask because I know it should be a common sense thing, however the donar car had the vaccum line "t" off and I dont know why. Just to let you know I just installed a vj11 onto the vj14 based on what I have read and installed an HKS P-FCON that was off my donor car as well. From what I can tell the stock injectors should suffice up to 15psi. Im not interested in going further than that and most the time i am at 10 or less. Thanks Again

After a snag with MegaTune,tried burning some new values into MSII and messed it to hell, not for the life of me could I download the file to MT(my fault I figure).I did get TS working aces though,went out side, burnt some new values,2 cigs. later,1st crank and it fired for the first time under MSII control!It did stumble and die,started,stumbled,died.I didn't jump the fuel pump!Called it a night.It Freakin' started though!
Stratified made it so easy,crazy s..t man.

Nice find! Hold onto it. There's several people who want it. Heck, if you get desperate to dump it, let me know. Nice white GTX. How did you get your garage do clean? I have to much stuff for my garage to look like that....

[azgtx]

I haven't decided yet....I will though....Key to the garage...if you are gonna put something in it ya gotta let something go.

put a new temp sensor in. the old ones insulating material had all fallen out so the single wire was grounding out, causing the fan to stay on constantly. couldn't find a part that matched the number so i had to use one out of a b2200. the b2200 temp sensor caused the fan to come on for a few seconds on start up and then turn off. after warming up the idle would go between 850 and 1,000 rpm's after driving even a few feet, so problem not fixed. today i installed one for the gtx and it instantly solved all that s#&t. JACKPOT.

Which temp sensor? On the radiator? On the intake runner? On the T-stat housing?

[bighed323]

it's the one on the thermostat housing.

[BFMRGTX]

Ah, my bad. I actually read the part about "the fan constantly staying on", but was thinking about the symptoms you were experiencing.
