Hello folks. After doing an emergency front disc brake pad change the other day I discovered that I need to replace the brake fluid ( since the body on the...
ANY STE with rear disc brakes, regardless of braking system (ABS or NON) will covert over to any JA2 or JA1 car with minor mods. Dont use the AWD setup thou,...
Hi While you are at it . You may consider cleaning the IAC valve and the pcv both DIY ers. Do you have the Haynes manual ? +- 20 $ CDN . It is an excellent...
Don't panic. Don't know if that will even happen. LOL! I don't know if I have the funds as I need to pay bills, get more important parts for the car, upgrades...
Sometimes you frighten me. Really if you want forced induction and insane power swap in a 3800SC Series 2. Around 400hp and looks totally stock (well, as stock...
... That's one reason anything really major I think it through carefully first. ... Not really looking for anything TOO drastic. Just wondering whatever he put...
Does he still have the car? If so, take a good look at what exactly he installed. Did he mention how much it cost? I kid you not, but there are modified 12V...
What car do you have? (I might have missed that info somewhere) I have the 6000 S/E station wagon, which has a 2.8 engine... on MINE it is in the back of the...
... Yeah. He was driving it when he told me about it. :) ... I'll have to do that if I see him around again. ... Nope. I'l have to ask that. Both very good...
No human has ever seen the PCV on a 6000 when in place. The plugs are bad enough but I have had a tremendous hassle removing the PCV with the proper amount of...
... I have and removal was extremely easy. :) On the base 6000 models with the 4-cyl 4-tech (2.5L), the PCV valve is right on top of the valve cover on the ...
Hey I'm a new member here, finally found a place where I can talk to ppl about my 6000! Got a question for you all. It's a `87 2.8 V6 and whats happening is ...
... All I can say is drive it more. I just put in a radiator and had unhooked the battery for a few days (read my other posts about my radiator ordeal and why...
You said you're aware of the need to do an idle relearn, but did you actually perform the proceedure? If not, I'd start with that first. There is a procedure...
I'm going to make an educated guess that, since he said it only added 25 hp, he meant the filter. A turbo would hopefully add a hell of a lot more then that,...
... Just wanted to clarify my last post. :) Dryden was relearing for an hour after I got the radiator in, then he relearned again the next day. I think he...
... I dunno. He did mention he has yet to cut vents or get a hood scoop put in as it can run rather hot. ... LOL! There's an editor's article in the April 2005...
I had a 4-Tech once. I was also planning a Turbo upgrade. But not just putting a Turbo on the existing 2.5L, and for a couple of reasons. I just wanted to...
Ironically, the Sunbird GT Turbo used the same Garrett T-25 as the McLaren Grand Prix. Further proof that the GP was tuned down on the power, considering a...
... Well, all I knew was what he told me. Good thing I asked here. :) ... Well, from what he said, it wouldn't fit any other way. A lot of these newer cars...
... Really. And like I mentioned in my last post, for what? I mean sure, in racing situations hp is everything. But to get to the store and back, all you need...
Well put--exactly along the lines I was thinking. I really doubt this guy put a true turbo on, which is why I brought up the "leafblower" thing. Between...
Yes, I am aware of the ECM resetting etc, I've done this many times over the years heh... I also cleaned out the IAC and the whole works that goes with it (the...
About 7 years ago, I heard of a Turbo Kit for a 2.8L V6. I can't remember the details anymore, but a guy I went to College with modified his Tempest and...
... Which is why I'm glad to have this group to consult with before I go doing anything to my car. :) I'm starting to get into the habit of checking here ...
... Or maybe so far there's nothing wrong (hopefully) in that part of the deal. ... Aha. :) Has this relearning worked before with that same prom or is this...
... And here I thought a "sleeper" was a car that doesn't go very fast (ie. as in a granny's sedan, etc.) Someone's gotta put up a glossery of terms or...
