Sneak peek into the massive project that I have embarked on with my 88 TC. This project has been going on for 18 months and there's still a ton of work to do. I basically tore the car down to the shell and have replaced/modified/upgraded everything

I am in need of a passenger front fender with cornering lights for my 88 TC. I have some rust coming through the very bottom and I would like to replace mine. If anyone has one they would be willing to sell and is going to Carlisle this year and is willing to take a fender with them, I am interested. I will be at the show Saturday making my way through the parts and stopping by the NATO tent, but if anyone on here is going and wants to sell, I would rather buy from one of us. Let me know. Thanks

   

The first thing I had to do this spring when I pulled the TC out from winter storage was change the turbo on it. Last fall I was getting oil leaking past the exhaust seals and burning oil in the exhaust. It was an old *bay T3/T4 I got years ago, it lasted me three good years though. I went with a Garrett GT3076 ball bearing turbo on Boports recommendation. Of course, this led me to the while I am in there conundrum. All said, this is what I did over the past 2 months:
1, Swaintech "white lightning" exhaust coating on the ported Gnari manifold and turbo hot side
2, installed a TurboSmart Gen V 38mm ext wastegate
3, Stingers 3" elbow with a V-band to his 3" downpipe
4, SC throttle body install
5, Boport adjustable round tooth pulley with associated round tooth pulleys and Gates racing belt
6, installed a new intake tube with Pegasus 4" flex tube to a 4" elbow in the fenderwell with a K&N filter
7, installed a Turbsmart Supersonic BOV on the cold side intercooler pipe.
8, Retuned the Pimpx to account for the bigger turbo and better exhaust.
What I didn't mention is all the little stuff I had to make/adjust to account for the little differences in the parts like the throttle body linkage, turbo coolant lines, oil feed lines, turbo fittings for the coolant and oil, TPS from a Ford Tempo, cutting and welding the intercooler pipes to account for the throttle body moved farther out, etc. It was frustrating at times as I had to order parts and wait for them to get delivered, but finally got it done. The Garrett ball bearing turbo is quite impressive, just about like the old IHI as for spool up, way better than the old T3/T4 I had on it. If anyone needs any info on items I did or better pics, let me know and I can get them posted up here.

I picked up a set of 16" Riken mesh wheels for my 88 and I need 3 of the plastic center caps. I know these are hard to find, but thought I would ask on here first. The diameter of these to fit the 16" wheels would be 2 3/4", the smaller 15" wheels had a smaller size cap. Thanks

Has anyone successfully bled the ABS system after changing lines and other maintenance?  I disassembled the system, cleaned, replaced the lines, and reassembled.  Then engine and dash are out of the car, so I cannot fire up the ABS pump right now with the key.  I'm trying to do it using the shop manual Rotunda pump method, only using a Power Bleeder.  The manual says 35 psi, but this is above the Power Bleeder max pressure of 30 psi.  I get fluid flow to the front, but nothing is coming out of the rear.  I guess the pressure is not sufficient to trip the system valves leading to rear brakes.  If anyone can give me a clue, I'd appreciate it.  

I could not find anything on the web about the Rotunda pump.  I'm not sure if it's a pressure or vacuum pump.  Would a Mityvac vacuum pump work?

I currently have my TFI mounted on the drivers shock tower, but would like to move it to the front radiator support. Basically, the shock tower is way to crammed with crap on the drivers side and I am looking to install a shock tower brace which gets in the way of where I currently have it mounted. So, to move it forward to the radiator support I need to lengthen the wires harness, but my original Ford type foil wrap is too short. What are you guys running for wire wrap to get that far forward? Would metal speed tape work, you know the HVAC ducting tape, it's metallic and cheap. Any other ideas? Thanks

Have both (L&R) OEM foglight brackets for the 83-86 Turbo Coupe / XR7.   Lights have been removed.   Brackets appear that they should mount to any 83-86 Tbird or Cougar, but bumper clearance could dictate fit so check your application.

Brackets were from a yard pull and have surface oxidation but are solid, unbent, heavy, and will clean and repaint nicely.

No idea what these are worth so make an offer,  shipping from zip 40601.

I have a 1988 turbo coupe was an automatic now 5 speed . I have 12 volts at the inerta switch and only 4 volts at plug in left side of trunk. wtf? New tpe and iac.
