HI, just picked up a 93 FD, Silver with Red interior, 72k miles and no engine rebuild. Luckly Im directly related to Sweet7 and he can help me with alot of stuff when he gets home. Ok here are the things I noticed driving it for the first time today. The engine ideals(sp?) really low at about 150-450 RPM and jumps around. Looks like it has a pin drop oil leak (no idea if its trany or Engine, is driping off oil pan). It has no boost gauge so I really have no Idea whats going on there. What are your guy's suggestions on small things I should buy so on. Any idea on what the engine life is so on? Thanks for the Help guys.

 

first thing get a boost guage id say so u know whats going on.

 

What company would be best?

 

Defi.

 

Alright, also should I get a compression test? The lady who owned it before said it needed new seals and the bearing on the turbos wern't exactly on. Could someone explain this more in depth to me? What do I need to do to replace the seals and fix the bearings on the turbos?

 

IMO, DEFI 'D' series boost matches the OEM gauges well, including the back-lighting at night. It's also inexpensive (~$115) and relatively acurate.



Yes, get the compression checked. That's an awful low idle rpm. Does you car have an airpump?

 

Where should I go to get the compression checked? Any suggested places in colroado? I have no idea if its got an airpump.

 

Also does anyone have some links for gauges, OEM, Defi, HKS so on?

 

You'll get no pity from me!!



J/K.. he cool.. cuz Steve said so.. so really I dont know.



I love lamp!

 

lol Yeah im trying to get steve to come out check out the car since I obvously don't know what the hell im doing.
