Well i'm not allowed to leave the Med Office to go to the MWR. The LTC would **** a brick if he came down here and thats where i was. About the most i get to do is go hang out on the porch of the TOC.

depends.. im not to savvy on the fd but it do know on the fc that 86 to 88 the exhaust back pressure ran the 5th and 6th port actuators but from 89 to 92 the air pump did the job. so if you got that second gen still and its 89 to 92 it would cause a serious drop in horsepower after 5000rpm (roughly) but you would still be getting an increase in fuel without air (ecu adjusting for 5th and 6th port opening) so you would be running way too rich at that rpm....have fun

What would I need to make those gilmer pulleys work? I was thinking of just dumping the A/C too since it doesn't work at the moment anyways! =]

Haha Main Body 2? Hell when your in Manas look for SPC Barker, that would be me. Ill have my phone on me so if you send me a email i'll get it. Manas has good data signal. I'll be putting my coilovers on, putting the black seats in, and switching to my Kenwood DD Navi the weekend i get back. Think everything else might have to wait til i get to Hell Paso.

Wife went out to start the car for its weekly run like she always does and she says its turning over but wont crank, its also leaking oil. So if someone wants to go look at it for me let me know. Or if someone wants to help me get it running around the 20th-24th let me know too. Thanks.

So, had someone look at my car. Fuel pump fuse is good, relay is clicking when the ignition is turned on, but no wounds coming from the fuel tank what so ever. So i guess a Denso is in my future.

avoiding Walbro. Put a walbro in my iroc once, and it burned up in less than a month without even pushing much fuel. Went back to a bosch. Then in my 95 Kenne Bell Mustang i heard decent things about walbro and it was cheap and thought maybe the iroc was a fluke so i bought another one for it and hooked it to my Boost-a-Pump. Barely made it more than a month. **** Walbro lol.

Lol i see that. unfortunately theres only one person i know of small enough to fit in the costume over in Delta Company. That is most likely Brown i would guess. And yes it has exploded lol.

If i get my car running i'll be out there with some of the LSx guys lol. Hopefully its just the fuel pump thats keeping my car from running...
