Re: Ford Probe GT oil pressure guage?

You don't need an adaptor for the autometer sending unit. It's a graduated thread and goes right into the stock oil pressure sender location. Just don't over tighten, if you tighten it too much you will crack the housing on your oil filter housing. As long as you do it right, you'll never have any ...

In addition I found a pretty beefy stroker kit for it a while back. Tried to talk my sister into letting me install it...

Re: Ford Probe GT oil pressure guage?

I don't know about all gauges, but autometers usually come with everything you need to install them including the sending unit.

Re: got a garrett GT2256V for free

If you want to throw thousands of dollars into a engine that doesn't need the upgrades that is your choice. However, I know for a fact that the factory b6/bp internals are golden up over 300 whp if properly tuned. As far as everything else, just because a part is used doesn't mean it isn't quality. ...

Re: got a garrett GT2256V for free

kinda small. Any turbo can work with any car. Getting it to fit... and if it should fit, is what you have to figure out. It's a good start to a turbo project, just need a few more thousand and a couple hundred hours of wrench time and you're there. wrong! all wrong! You have to be resourceful and h...

Re: Adj. Fuel Pressure Regulator -> Help with installation

First things first, you are going to want to remove the old pressure regulator. Second, If the new pressure regulator only has one vacuum connection I would say to use the vacuum line from the PRC Solenoid Valve and cap the other one at the nearest connection. (the T fitting where the hose splits) A...
