[ImUrOBGYN]

I see I'm going to have to finally join Thorne at one of those LAN parties simply to whip some sense into you in Counter Strike.

Don't turbo it just drive it

[heelside1647545510]

As a DD? You're nuts.

[Mr. Jones]

He clearly has an obsession for slow 80's vehicles are HIT.

[Radio Flyer1647545514]

Buy a DSM and have fun fixing it every weekend.

[fattyona12]

[Trjackson]

[Patrick]

No, buy a REPU!! 13B-REW!

[Ryan218]

none wants a import motor...buy a good ole 302.....i think a LS1 swap would be pretty neat....

[thorne]

ls1 swapped ford ..... I know its been done.

 

 

Brian(v8beast) has a Ls1 built he will sell for a great deal.

[turbomark]

buy a mitsubishi mighty max or dodge d10 and do a 4g63 swap.

[Dr. Apex]

Leave it alone and drive it.

[Rally Pat]

Ok, lets get a few things straight. First off, I am a college student. A poor one. LS1's are out of the question. Second, the 2.3 turbo swap can be completed in a weekend. Third, I wont be doing this swap for a long time, and it just seems like a lot of you dont want to be spanked by a 4 cyl truck.

[Jeffrey]

Not worried about that in the least. I think they are trying to tell you to not waste the time or effort to just have a slow POS, instead do something unique with your time and money. If you are worried about spending money than a turbo project is the last thing you should think about doing, especially on a daily driver.

[RQUICK91GT]

If he used the right 2.3 turbo motor won't be an issue of being slow.

I know a guy with an 1986 SVO motor in his ranger with a extra little hit of nitrous and it ran 11's.Not real Slow.

This is Dave's truck, I just ended up buying this and not the Toyota. You must not have read the first post Martin, but this truck, if I even decide to do a 2.3 turbo swap, will be for going fast. If anything, I will lower it several inches.

 

Remember, if I do any of this, it will be a while before I do it. And if I do do it, it wont be my daily anymore. I plan to run more boost, or even a different turbo, backed by a Megasquirt with the EEC-IV adapter.

[Bam]

uhhhh, i've got some logs in my driveway, wanna come haul them away?

[Martin]

yea i read the whole thread. i was just suggesting something since everyone else was suggesting u do something else besides what u want.

 

i think u should of went with the toyota and that puppy would of lasted forever

[Rally Pat]

You dont know the story of why I didnt buy the toyota. I am not going to elaborate here.

 

And Martin, there seems to be one thing that you haven't picked up yet as a CR newbie. You have to shake off the haters, and tell them where to stick it sometimes.

[Martin]

yea well i tried in my first thread. didnt work to well so i was trying the kind plan but that didnt work so i was ignoring them.

 

i knew the toyota had a clutch problem but ill just talk to u in person some time soon hopefully. you think i can get a floor jack if i get my tranny back.
