bumpin_z Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 mfewtrail: I can relate, my project car is an 88 Z24 with a 89 3.1 TGP motor. I picked the car up half way through completion and I had to go back and find all of the other guys mistakes, what a PIA that was. I am now to where I just have to start connecting things and switching my trans mount and I will be in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Yeah I will get some motor pics up for you guys ASAP, but it does not look much different then a regular TGP engine, but i will do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now to where I just have to start connecting things and switching my trans mount and I will be in business. I know how that can be also..same situation w/ the volvo I have(88 740 turbo/intercooled sedan), it was woman owned and I got it for helping my roommate out doing some yardwork and a little painting at her house, so it was next to free, I worked on it in her yard for 3-4 days before I finally got everything hooked up right and running, she had someone work on it and they left about 5 or 6 of no telling how many vacuum lines undone and just tucked away hidden behind things, I'm surprised the car ran when she got it back, she said it ran rough and drove for a day and then she got it in the yard and it died so she didn't fool with it. It had been sitting for a year when I took it off her hands, fixed all the vacuum lines w/ new ones, new fuel pressure regulator, new battery, new plugs(wires were almost new on it), and a few other small things and it ran like a champ for almost 10K when the turbo died on me, so I decided to part it out and took pretty much everything apart, I couldn't figure out what some plastic pieces were yesterday but finally found out they went behind the non-existent dash , got everything back in order now and cleaned out the car yesterday, gotta haul off the dash and a few other pieces I don't want/need and don't feel like holding on to until someone else needs/wants them . I'm putting a ford 302 HO(probably...maybe a regular 302, I don't really even know the difference between regular 302's and the HO's..I've heard the exhaust manifold are different though, I'm going to use shorty headers most likely unless I can fit some long tube ones in the car w/o too much modification...also going to use the T5 5speed transmission w/ my swap, I found out a great deal of what I need to know yesterday about the motor mounts and tranny mount(or adapter, as you can use the stock one..has a big ass AW71 tranny stock behind the little four banger)..Anyways, I might write more later on my progress and start a thread in the "whatever" section and update it as I make progress.

mfewtrail Posted September 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 since I'm a post whore, I hit reply instead of editing my last post...I want a picture of your entire TGP front-end to see how noticeable the intercooler is there, what all did you have to cut to fit it in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 I will get some pics of the entire engine bay up here pretty soon. I had to cut a space in the metal front bumper, the stuff behind the fiberglass that is actually steel, and thats what the intercooler sits it, it has brackets coming over both of its sides, that are bolted to the metal bumper, and I had to cut a little out of the bottom bumper piece but just little round spaces so that the pipes could pass through, i didnt want to cut anything on it, because its a TGP but my bottom bumper needs to be replaced anyway so i figured what the heck for now and i will figure out a different way for the piping when i get around to a new bumper!

god910 Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Easiest way to tell the diff. between an HO and non-HO is the firing order. They are different (very weird) and specific to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Just making another post here because someone wanted to see my intercooler setup again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGTU Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 FYI...the HO has higher compresion ..better cam profile. The "regular" low output has lower compression, torquie cam profile. That fireing order would be a 351w firing order...but I thought it was only on the cobra engine...OH well this ain't MM&FF... It won't be fun with the regular unless you swap cams and install 289ci heads or higher compression pistons and remove the smog bump on the exhastport of the regular heads. Now back to your TGP...Nice. Some pain wouldn't hurt on the pipes for better looks and corrosion protection. Volvo turbo sadans...are those quick? I would have thought you would have intalled a t-bird turbo on there and gotten crazy on the boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 yeah, the intercooler piping could use some paint on them...just need the time or probably a whole weekend where i can remove the system and take care of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkorinko Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Just wondering if anyone had a paint that they reccomend i use??? Also any suggestions on what color to use would be great to! I know i need to find a paint that is tolerant to heat, i should be able to get something like that at an auto parts store right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus18 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 mfewtrail if thats your car at the bottum you'd see some hp gains if you moved that cone filter. I had it in the same spot and everytime the car warms up you lose power because it's sucking off the manifold and out of the hot radiator. my car pulls about the same hot as cold not that I moved it. marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 i can powder coat them if you want to pay shipping and can go a couple days without them. it will last much longer and look WAY better then the rattle can technique. post if your interested. i don't know how much piping there is exactly so i don't know a $$. shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own the silvermist 01 and the bright white 93...my dad said he'd give me the TGP when I finish my associates degree(beginning of next year) I plan on doing a fenderwell intake w/ the TGP or making up something else to house the conical filter..it's a bit hard to build anything between the turbo/intercooler and the little space there though..but I'll see if I can come up w/ something to seal the cone from the engine bay.
