I will apologize for my spelling and grammar. I am a mechanic not a teacher. I am glad there is some interest in what I am doing. If there is something you want to know more about or why I am choosing to do things the way I have. Just ask and I can go more in depth on it. The reason I am putting this out there is for you guy's. I know there are a few people that have done the things I am doing, but not much information or pictures of it being done. I hope others get something out of it, or it is pointless to post it.
I'm hooked! Waiting for the next installment!!!🙂
It's all good; that's why I documented the Series II swap on here. It seems like there were a few here that were acquiring parts to do it... I wonder if I scared anyone off. 😀
Small update. Worked on getting my intercooler stuff to work. Put on some small parts also. I bought a factory 87 turbo feed oil line. It fits the engine perfectly. I am using factory 87 intercooler, fan, brackets, and scoop.
I am doing that for couple of reasons. Factory appearance and fit. Price. I got a deal on a complete set up. Just mocking it up right now and getting everything to fit. I need to spacer the mount brackets out a little yet.
It is starting to fit the image I have in my mind. A lot of thought and engineering went into designing the brackets and parts on a 87 turbo engine. They did not give you much room for any thing. It is a lot like a new car. You have to take a bunch of stuff off to work on something. Have to put the A/C compressor, power steering pump, and belt on before the intercooler can go on for good.
Things are going to slow down now. I am out of money and about out of parts.
That is a strange little setup with the mechanical fan on the intercooler and electric on the radiator. I guess I never noticed before.
Yep it is. The turbo 87 cars have a single electric fan. I may replace the fan on the intercooler later with a electric fan. How come you are not out cruising the pig?
Been a long weekend with the folks, and drove 200 miles back today. I took it over my buddy's this evening, though. It returns to commuter duty tomorrow at 5:30a.
So I skipped some pages, but you are going with a fitech/sniper throttle body fuel injection setup? That setup won't be sequential (sfi) and not have near the tuneability of a individual port fuel injection setup. Have a friend with a fitech on a SBC and although it starts better, it lacked the tables a true SFI setup like megasquirt MS3 and was really tough to dial in. Maybe the holley setup allows more tune ability, but the self learning is great for a 350hp mild SBC but with boost I would really want speed density and full control.
Granted you need to drill and weld in fuel injector bungs, but the advance in tuning is worth it.

I will not argue with a multiple point injection is better than a TBI. I have not bought any injection or controller stuff yet besides the intake. So now is the time to figure out what will work best! My reasoning for the TBI is: I am new to the tuning and forced induction. So I want to keep it as simple as possible for me, and not spend a lot of money doing it. I have a lot of learning to do and I figured the Tbi would be a baby step for me. I am not after high horsepower. Good cruiser that will rock when wanted. I am open to all ideas right now so I am all ears.
