love the sound of the sc!

Wow, I had this exact same car back in the day ('84 silver). I miss it at times, but the upkeep and finding parts for it was a bitch.
-
Sorry yup it had a 8.8 / 3.73s from an auto 87 Turbo Coupe. I broke two axles in that as well lol.
-
@FredadickO Both of my cars have t5s and 7.5 rears, transmission and rear end are completely separate parts. But he probably did switch up to an 8.8 because it is stronger, and easier to find after market parts for.
But thanks for agreeing with me!

@HE351MUSTANG hes using a T5, so uhhhhhhh, its a 8.8 rear... duhhhhhhhhh???
-
@holmd90 totally agree
-
@imschlodes I am impressed, funny how people tend to say the SVO is a crap car and the 4 bangers in them are useless, swap to a v8 instead, blah blah blah.
What 1984 with a v8 can run 11's and still get 28 mpg
Thumbs freaking up to you for a nice SVO :)
-
hey sry to bother ya again but what rear are u using? not the 7.5? 8.8 corrct?
-
and hey btw all my guys that do the standalone (MASS AIR / MEGASQUIRT) pick up around 35-50 horse with it just slapped on and a decent tune... AN ESSENTIAL u must do i would like 2 see ut the car does then, you'll easy run 10's if the cars got enough turbo.
Thanks, it's since been put back to mostly stock and sold. I have to say it was a great car, but of all things I broke the rear end [2 axles]. It was on the original short block and I ran 25-28 psi for 5 seasons [on race gas tho]. I have everything in an 85 Turbo Coupe now, I didn't want to cage the SVO and do all the other stuff for faster than 11.50.

I have an AEM wideband 02. Did back road pulls in 3-4 and dialed in fuel using an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. If you are referring to how I am running the larger injectors on a stock EEC, I have ported the vane airflow sensor and tightened the spring for the sweeper x 10 clicks. It's a bit crude and 'back yard' but it cruises around does light load @ stoich, and is consistant 11.5:1 a/f ratio under full boost. It till knocks down around 28 mpgs if I drive it nicely!
