I know this has been discussed, but I wanted to know if anyone has had an 88 tc with the 18 gallon tank? I got a tank from rock auto it was the 22 gallon one. It's just a little bit to big. I can't get the straps bolted. I thought all 87-88 tc's had the 22 gallon tank? Did some come from the factory with the 18? Even if it was the 18 gallon shouldn't I still be able to bolt the 22 gallon one up?
I have an 88 turbocoupe bellhousing. I actually found the hydraulic lines and resovoir. I can purchase the slave and master cylinders for $70. I think I have everything now accept the crossmember.
Okay I just bought a t5 from the guy I sold my first turbo coupe too. I want to swap it into the one I have now that's equipped with the a4ld. I think I have everything except the transmission crossmember, master cylinder, slave cylinder and hydraulic lines. I was wondering what would be easier making my own lines or doing a cable clutch?
I finally did the compression test all of the cylinders were in the 139-142 area. So it's not the head gasket. I was wondering if the heater core was clogged would that cause it to overheat?
I'm thinking about selling my mustang and building a motor for my turbo coupe. I'm thinking I should focus on one car at a time. Should I go 302 stroker or 351w stroker I want to make over 400rwhp. I will have at least 10k. Should I just wait and save more and do a coyote swap I always thought that would be pretty cool in one of these cars.
I've replaced the entire cooling system. Coolant temperature sensor, coolant temperature sender, t-stat, water pump and the radiator. I wired up the fan so it's always on because it wouldn't kick on sometimes. I flushed the coolant it looked okay and changed the oil and it looked normal. I'm going to do a compression test in the next few days and if that checks out it has to be the gauge itself maybe it is running cool but the gauge isn't reading the resistance from the sender like it's supposed too.
Okay I just replaced the radiator with one from O'Reilly. The gauge was still Ettinger up I'm the red. I took an infared thermometer like what you use to tell if food is at the right temperature pointed at the intake where the sensor is and it was at 180. The radiator by the upper hose was at 194. Isn't this normal? What does the gauge use is it the sensor if so I just replaced that.
Yeah I'll probably jut buy that O'Reilly radiator. Then get that dual fan it's only $20 more. One of those fans flows better than the single one O'Reilly sells.
I thought the hoses are the same? They say you need that housing for the duel fan setup or at least that's what I read in the reviews. So I should just piece something together if their is a fan you recommend let me know.
Jcassity I did what you said the driver side of the radiator is cool and the passenger side by the upper radiator hose was hot then cool then hot.so it's the radiator?
