Ok, First the skinny on my car.



1988 TurboII. Mostly stock..



What I've done so far......



I've started the mod process on my car. Installed the K2RD blockoffs, except the MOP. I plan on removing the rats nest and vac lines. I will eventually replace the Fuel lines with AN fittings and an aftermarket FPR. for now I am keeping the engine and turbo stock, or until the engine detonates (is currently @ 170k miles and shows signs of oil seal wear.) And a Full RB turboback exhaust. TID mod.



A few questions...



How do I keep this car reliable?



I will primarily keep the engine stock until I can afford to upgrade. But I just want Soild relaibility with this car. Also is a FPR and AN fittings to remove the damn pulsation damper (mine was leaking) Worthwhile? Plus getting a Walboro fuel pump? Or should I just go get a Haltech while the whole damn thing is apart?



Or should I just stop this iinsanity before I throw a seal?

Don't run past 9psi on stock turbo.



Get a frontmount



Get a haltech/ems whatever...



Fuel upgrades, bigger radiator...



gauges....



upgrade oil cooler lines, and oh yea GENERAL MAINTENCE...

Freestyle, thanks for the input. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png





Ok, so, would just fuel mods, FPR, FCD Walboro Fuel Pump, Stock intake, RB full exhaust. All emissions removed. Be reliable? I have not done a compression check on the engine, but it still runs very strong. I figure get some of this crap done because I enjoy rotarys and have so for the past 5 years. So yeah I do plan on keeping the car.





And with a Haltech, can it be programmed to work with a stock turbo and block? Is there stock maps?



Thanks

If your PD is still leaking I would try and fix that soon, since the possibility for fire exists.

I would suggust a custom TID and downpipe.Allowing your motor to breathe better helps its chances of living longer. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
