Guest Removed Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 you can up the boost, but the none intercooled ones had the smaller turbo iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 wouldnt up the boost too much on a old tired motor right away anyways, this things just awesome. bah. i've had multiple cars with these motors in them including 88 turbo coupe stock block, head, and head gasket 30 psi through a t3/t4 .50 trim 87 all stock t3 super 60 at 25psi fc stock head and block stock t3 19psi made 230whp and 309 tq the only reason the fc blew was because i was toying with too much timing that is the only one of these motors i've blown up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standalones do wonders... i dont care what someone else is doing with one, your's is a fail boat and a half and just because he made 700 wheel, dont mean he can drive it daily like that. does he drag race the piss out of it every wed and weekend? more then likely not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 the powder blue car blew up too not from boost/tuning.. improper install of a turbo oil line based off a pro's instruction..lol.. live and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The list: 1988 Merkur XR4Ti 114xxx original miles Turbo 2.3L Black with black/grey "Raven black" interior (highly sought after in these cars) 5 speed RWD/IRS with new Zoom clutch and flywheel 10k ago Sunroof (pops up and slides back) New guibo (2 piece drive shaft rubber coupling) New battery E6 exhaust manifold 2 sets of stock wheels, summer and snow tires It's mostly stock except for a Gillis manual boost controller, an LA3 computer and air meter swap (bigger Tbird meter, more aggressive timing/fuel curve ECU, has been repinned internally so the ECU can be swapped back to stock if needed), and a K+N cone filter. If you're familiar with these cars, you know they can be nasty fast for pretty cheap but they are a bit finicky. It has some minor issues that are typical for these cars that i won't bother to list but anyone with serous interest i'll go over it in detail with you. This car is NOT recommended for a daily driver...it's more of a performance toy type car but i have driven it to Columbus and back with no problems. It is NOT a drag car and has NOT been drag raced not by me or the previous owners. It has been well maintained considering its age. Call or text me. 513-557-6249 Here's pics: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/enginebayafter.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/P4260037-1.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/P3290010.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/P3290011.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/P8180009.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee275/EVIL85SSP/Merkur%20Pics%20and%20Videos/P427003.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
