So, how difficult is it to replace the rod bearings in a 1990 740 turbo with the engine still in the car? I think I spun rod #2 tonight... Sound disappears when I disconnect #2 injector or pull #2's plug wire. Thanks

So far, my car has the NPR intercooler, TLAO 6500 rpm chips, 3" exhaust, stock turbo, and K&N cone filter because the factory air box won't fit with the NPR intercooler. The chips, after a couple hundred miles of learning, made a noticeable difference. A little crisper response, and definitely...

If you had the cash, and wanted a beefy red block to replace a worn out on in a 1990 740T, would you build it yourself, or buy it from a performance shop, and if you'd buy it, where from?

Just curious. Once I get my waste spark DIS ignition installed and running, I know the distributor is no longer used. Can I install a freeze plug in the back of the head to seal up the hole for the distributor, or am I stuck with the distributor as a plug?

Well, Got a set of browntop ford injectors. Verified they are low impedance, and that the ballast resistors on the car are good and hooked up. installed the browntops and the car started for about 2 seconds and died... injector driver is blown... WTF???

Ok, so about a month ago, driving home, the car sputters a bit going around a corner, then catches and goes... a little further up the road, it just dies. wouldn't restart for about 10 minutes. finally restarts and check engine light is on. got home and checked the code, fuel computer is...

Well, now that I have my NPR in, I got busy on the last few items to get the 16T ready to bolt in. got a junkyard manifold and had to have a stud burnt out... on the turbo it's a blind hole, so a stud wont work that direction. had it burnt out and drilled the hole to clear a stud installed oin...

So, found an NPR intercooler on Car-Part.com from a bone yard that cost me 100+ shipping. did all the reading I could, and I just love how all the other articles seem to try and convince you it's nearly a direct drop in... NOT... it's not brain surgery, but it isn't a walk in the park, either...

Well, It's getting close. Received my NPR intercooler today, along with another exhaust manifold. going to modify the manifold turbo mounting flange with holes for bolts/studs since the 16T exhaust housing has a couple of blind threaded holes. have the turbo mounted up and just bolt the whole...

Anybody have the part numbers for the banjo bolts and washers for the oil and coolant lines, and the oil drain gasket for the Mitsubishi turbo? Thanks

Has anyone had contact with Jao? I have messaged and emailed several times with no response. Need a 3" dp for my 16t angle flange upgrade... Thanks

Just had my 3" exhaust installed yesterday. Big improvement. Turbo spools faster, and I'm actually getting between 8-9 psi at the top of each gear instead of the solid 7 I was getting before. Used a magnaflow 3" oval muffler w/14" long case. Sounds great. I need to upload the vid I took...

Ok, Power sunroof... Switch barely moves it at all. took off the cover, pushed in the clutch pin and can barely turn it 1/4 turn... sounds like sand in the slides or something. Any hints on how to get into it to clean and lube things?

Well, the 16T is clocked, and once I can get a downpipe made to mate with the angle housing, it will be bolted on. Once I start the process, I'll post my process as I go

anyone know what car the 15G turbo with the conical flange turbine housing came on? I need the turbine housing bad for my 16T so I can transplant it into my 740... im running out of time for my project as I start a new job in 2 weeks and won't have any time to do it for months if I don't do it now

Is there a plug etc I can remove for an aftermarket temp gauge sending unit? if not, are you guys just removing the factory gauge unit to use the aftermarket gauge? Thanks

Finally have my Turbo upgrade on the way... 16T from a 2001 S70 T5... 90.00 plus 30 shipping with a 6 month warranty. I love wrecking yards!

Pretty sure this is the original sensor from 1990... I know the original owner replaced the head a while back because it cracked... This sensor has remnants of coolant contamination and only 1 of the slots was open... The other black slot you can see where I poked a small screwdriver in after it...

ok, 90 740 turbo, 253K miles, runs rough on startup, but clears up in a minute or so. lots of piston slap when cold, also lessens as it warms up. decided to do a compression check. checked each cylinder 3 times, had just driven about 10 miles 15 minutes before I checked to make sure the engine...

Is there a gasket available to go between the DV and the compressor housing? While I was under the hood, and had cleaned the engine, I gave the engine a few quick revs and noticed bubbles coming out between the DV and compressor housing. Checked all the bolts and they are tight. Thanks
