Re: Project!
 

So your assembling the motor??

good job and good luck!!
Sounds like a helluva project you got going on.

Re: Project!
 

James: What do you mean?

Turbodomestics: I'm getting help but yah, we are putting it back together. I couldn't do it by myself.

I PICKED IT UP LAST NIGHT! It's not as shitty as I thought. There are two rust spots on the passenger side that are bothering me, but I can fix that. The interior is practically mint, and all the parts that came with it are in really great shape. My turbo if re-built and never used! Only thing is my SMIC is smashed, so I'm going to be in the market for a new one of those. The car is blue, and I actually like it. When I was looking at the pictures of it, I thought it was going to be uglier than hell, but it's a lot better looking than I expected. I think I got a hell of a deal on this, so I'm really pumped! There's already a lot thats going into it that we have right now, and it should be a fun little car when it's done. Can't wait!

Too blistering fast to even mention ;)

Re: Project!
 

im impressed, finally got a real dsm! LMK if you need anything.

Re: Project!
 

is that a DSM specific remark? or a year model one? cause i think if an old car is taken care of, and you listen to it and don't let problems get out of hand, you'll be fine.

Re: Project!
 

What are we talking about?

Re: Project!
 

90s have a bunch of stupid parts.

Oil cooler is external, tranny spline count and transfer case is different, Shift linkages are different.

Not like 91-94 at all IMO.

Re: Project!
 

Picture(s)?

Re: Project!
 

Not yet. Soon though!

Re: Project!
 

I just got myself a pretty clean 90 Laser RS-Turbo FWD and a Non Turbo parts car to go with it. The turbo one has a siezed motor and the non turbo has I have no idea what wrong with it. If the NT is easy to fix, I will fix that and sell it, but both are white, so before that, I will mix and match all the body panels I like to the Turbo one.

Let's see who can get it running faster.

Tonight I am going to get it ripped down to the point of being able to pull the motor out, and I might possibly take the trans out of it tonight too.

Re: Project!
 

So how is a external oil cooler a stupid part???

Kevin

Re: Project!
 

Because Colin says so. :rolleyes:

Re: Project!
 

The oil cooler is the good part of the 90!

Other than that, I thought all the was different, was the tranny, shifter cables, t-case, and the ignition and t-body.

Re: Project!
 

The FWD tranny has the same spline count as any other fwd dsm. The only differnts is the linkage. The ecu is different along with the ignition coil and transistor. I think thats the only thing not mentioned. nothing to difficult I've already swaped tranny, ECU, coil, tranistor, throttle body and TPS. if you have any problems just let me know.

Re: Project!
 

yeah, external oil coolers are the bomb.

i plan on mounting mine to the front of my bumper.

Re: Project!
 

Congrats, and best of luck with the project.

Re: Project!
 

Thanks guys. Well we pretty much have it all figured out of all the work we need to do and the parts we still need.

Need:
Exhaust Studs
Cam Seals
Rear main seal
Balance Shaft Removal Kit

Gaskets needed:
Valve Cover
exhaust
Head
Oil pan
Oil ass.
Rear Main
cam seals

Also I will be getting the head, intake manifold, and exhaust manifold all ported. Other shit needs to be done to but I don't feel like typing it up.

Re: Project!
 

Don't waste your time with the 1G exhaust manifold, get a 2G. Why are you porting the head and intake manifold? Have you checked to see if the car has an EPROM ecu?

Re: Project!
 

The shell is sitting at my dads house withe the old block still in it, The other motor and all the stuff is in my garage being cleaned and what not... I think that she got a hell of a deal IMO.

Here are a couple of pix, i dont have any of the shell but she will have to get those...
