do you have a fuel level sending unit?

thats funny, I didnt notice all the racks before but i did think it looked right on it. Update on the car, i went to drive it last week and it started missing. I found that it was the injector not spraying, it was clicking just no gas comming out. I pulled the injectors and that one was clogged on the inlet side. the others were a little dirty but not as bad, then found that the fuel rail had a tone of crap in it so i ran the pum with the line in a coke bottle and got a little trash, so now i have to pull the tank and see how bad it is and try to get it all cleaned out before it will be hitting the road. As far as running with the rack on i was hoping to have it going before autocrossing starts here so i can use it some in place of my firebird.

Well im just about finished, turbo re-built, the running trouble i was having a week ago turned out to be the in tank pump was bad. now i just need to get the fuel guage working.

yea i got it set correctly per the directions, im going to try taking it off and cleaning it

yea thats the way i already set it up. still get the fault code 5

looks like i remembered it wrong, fault 5 shows signal from pententiometer is greater than 4.3 volts, try with a new pententionmeter. I wonder if i can clean the contacts on it, they car has been sitting for a little bit, i had to clean all the tail light and front parking light connections for them to work.

I have set this and im still having trouble, i get the five flash fault code, i believe its for vlt to low. My question is what vlt should i read at the plug feeding the tps. im getting 5 volts coming to the sensor. and at wot i only get around 3.4, that seems low but from what i read it said that at wot it should be close to full feed voltage. so i didnt know if the wot voltage could be the problem or should i be getting 12 volts to the sensor to begin with.

that is how i have mine wired up and works great, i can get the number wire that goes to the car sensor wire when i get home.

I just put one on mine, I went to the junk yard and measured every alt i could find in a gm and all of them are i think 1" 1/2 on the larger mount, and the peugot was 1", I just got one that had the extra width on one side and cut it off, working good so far.

im going to say its the 1st one, he said it would be good for a little over 300whp. very nice guy if anyone ever needs to get anything done i recommend him.

this is the place that did it = http://bnrsupercars.com/ I know he said new center housing and upgraded compressor wheel i think and did some work on the compressor housing.

Update; I decided to go ahead and have the one i took off rebuilt. new housing and some small upgrades. it is on now but the alt is bad now so still working on it.

I might be interested in the turbo for 200, i will let you know

little update: i have taken the turbo apart but have not tried to clean it yet. as you can see from the pics it was very nasty on the exhaust side only.

seems to run fine, i had it idle for about 10 min but the smoke was kind of bad and my wife wanted me to stop. i checked the compression and it seemed good so i hope the motor is fine, i was thinking of trying to run the car without the turbo just to see if it runs ok just need to find a way to loop the oil line to the drain.

its from the inside of the turbo, that is why i was thinking the drain was stopped up. and its only on the exhaust side. not bad mess on the intake side or boost side. I had it running with the exhaust loose where it bolts to the turbo and saw the oil from there.

I let it run for a little bit but it was leaking oil out pretty good from the turbo.

Well when i got this car it had been sitting for atleast 3 years, i got it running but it was smoking very bad. I took the turbo off and checked the drain and check for play in the shaft, i did not find anything blocking the drain and the shaft has no play, but do have alot of oil. From what i read the oil seals go bad and you have alot of slop in the shaft, does anyone know if you have have just the seal leak very bad but no slack in the shaft? I checked the compression and 1 was at a little over 130 and the others were at 150.

I was wondering about re-building the turbo myself. as far as the starting, i checked for volt at the small starter wire but not getting anything. I did find the topic about the starter relay though.

well it runs but the turbo does seem to be bad, im going to check to make sure the drain is not clogged. Seeing alot of oil coming out of the turbo. Does anyone know which relay is the starter relay? Im not getting any vlt to the wire at the starter.

Thanks i will check out that site too. the car does have the sun roof and is an auto, i would rather a 5 speed but it will work. i will get some more pics in the next few days.

I was wondering about the wheels, i guess someone swapped them out or something, im going to have to look for some because i dont like these to much

Wanted to say hi! I just picked up a 86 505 turbo on friday, 79k miles, clean car but not drivable yet. they guy that i bought it from said the trubo was bad, i do see alot of oil but not in the intake tubes and the turbo seems to be very tight. I pulled the plugs out last night and one of the plugs was broken, it was missing the ceramic on the inside of the plug. im going to check the cyl to see if there is any damage with a bore scope but hopefully the main trouble was the plugs. Im in Birmingham Alabama, not sure if there is anyone around this area, i know i have never seen any around.
