Re: CRUCIAL118's 86 CUTTY TPI BUILD

Update 4-21-11:

Replaced all sensors...TPS, IAC valve, knock, coolant temp, MAP, oxygen. All CEL codes were clear now, but it still wasn't idling completely right. Almost like a vacuum leak, but couldn't find anything. I sprayed cab cleaner around the injectors, intake, runners, throttle body, etc., but still nothing. The throttle lever also kept sticking a little keeping the rpms up a little. Got sick of messing with the throttle body and got a new one. BBK Twin 52mm unit. Like night and day. It really made a drastic difference. Throttle response is crazy good, hp increases, no more sticky throttle lever, and idles smooth now. Car was fun to drive before, but now is a blast. 😀

Have no clue, just know it is murdering the 307 that was in there. Prob round 230-250hp maybe more(not sure if has the original cam or not). Not too much worried bout hp and torque ratings, just want something fun to drive. And so far I haven't been let down.

Finally got car back. Seemed like an eternity. Color wasn't what I was expecting, but I like. Kinda blue-green-gray. Gray by night. Goes good with interior. 😀

Thanks. Was thinkin of 18" Torque Thrust 2's. Don't want to go too big. Don't want to attract the wrong people. Youngins probably won't want 18s, they want 20s and bigger.
