    Favorite Pop pressure?

    Well I'm popping my injectors. They are Delphi's. I think they are about 12 years old and all popped between 1600 and 1750 which I'm pretty impressed with. I had a 93 factory turbo truck that I popped at 2100 and it sure ran nice so I've thought about doing the same with big red although these...

    Current Project-Mini IDI

    I posted on TDI and General diesels this morning and their hasn't been a post on either forum all day and I know lots of guys here have owned and love the other little diesels. I gave up my 09 Versa to the wifey so I set out to find a little mileage car. I'm sorry to the lovers, but I just...

    http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?57058-Help-Just-bought-an-85-Jetta-Diesel So I posted the thread above in the "general diesel", but it looks like you guys like to discuss the older VWs also so I thought I would post here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

    Help: Just bought an 85 Jetta Diesel

    So normally I stick to the Ford truck IDIs but had to give up my nice little car to the wifey that I'm splitting up with so I needed something with mileage. Started looking and found an 85 Jetta Wolfsburg 4dr 5spd diesel with only 139k on it. I've got three kids, and will be commuting a 110...

    Had to downshift all the way to first pulling the 5th wheel

    So yesterday I headed out with the fifth wheel trailer and the 87 to take it up to my camping spot (actually my new home LOL). So going up the freeway, the truck has good power, keeps up with the freeway hills just fine, but on the way up to this Campground there are some really steep hills...

    Junkyard cold air intake deflector

    So I spent a day at the junkyard a while back looking for parts to use for cold air and intercooler setups. I posted the intake hat earlier and the accordian looking hose in the pics is from that same vehicle. So this air deflector is from an Expedition, the airbox wasn't there so I just...

    Poorman's intake hat

    :DSaw this at the junkyard the other day so I grabbed it. I've got an 093 turbo with a snail, so no big deal to me if it would work or not, I just had to have it. I think it cost me about 8-10 bucks. It was on a Grand Cherokee 5.2l I believe. It fits the intake of the IDI and has a 3"...

    Belt Driven Water/Air Intercooled IDI

    Not yet but I thought I'd put the idea out there and see if someone gets it together before I do. While reading about I think it was Ocnorb and his water/air setup and his report of a heat soak under extreme conditions I wondered if the electric water pump wasn't pumping fast enough liquid to...

    10psi with the 093 and N/A IP

    Finally scrimped and saved and ordered a VDO black/chrome boost gauge to my door for $48 :sly Did the ghetto installation for now. But with the IP that I had on my old F250 that was rebuilt within the last few years, I'm seeing 10 psi at the governor, full throttle, holding it back with a...

    Exhaust Wheel won't come out of housing

    So I have this ATS non-gated turbo, and I have it out and the bearing housing is loose as a goose from the exhaust impeller housing, but the wheel just won't come out. The only thing I can think of is the heat shield is warped or something. When I pull on it I can spin the cold side and it...

    Is this the Aftermarket ATS kit with the 3" elbow?

    Here's a few pics of a truck I bought and towed about 220 miles home with the CC up over the Oregon Coast range. I'm pretty sure the Turbo has the 3" elbow cause it looks like at least 2 1/2" pipe shoved in there and there is about a 1/2" gap. I made a youtube video but there is no sound...

    Cheap Fummins Plate

    http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/2424561120.html That seems super cheap for the 4bt plate to Ford which also works on the 6bt of course. I could afford that, but I definitely can't afford the engine to hook it to.:rolleyes:

    Internal Engine Experts?????

    So I have this 94 factory turbo core that was supposed to have a knock. I have the oil pan off and there are some pieces in there that look a bit like pieces of spark plug (oh sorry is that cussing) feeler gauge. I'm wondering if it isn't a thrust washer/bearing that blew. I did see...

    Ready your chin wiping napkins!!

    Should I tell I only paid $1150, naah, I'll keep that a secret. Going to be an IDI. Don't know for sure, but I think I'll sell my F250 and look for a donor that is not as nice. It's a red 87 F350 (Dana 60 Kingpin Oh Yeah) 4 door, 4x4 with matching canopy. Has a 460/C6 now so that is...
