Working on # 2 any advice?

[sho_972000]

Have a 89 with 155k on it blew the motor and now have a 112k engine thats going in. Bought: clutchmaster stage one kit- Fidenza flywheel- new t-belt- water pump- clutch cable...for starters. My questions are in the way of performance and the suspension. I have a front set of KYB struts new never used, will they work with moog springs? If so any modifications to make it work? Was going to get Stage 3 intake done from Sho Source along with BBB's 80mm MAF tuned LPM and highflow Y pipe with cats from RCM. I m concidering NOS obviously using the 155lph pump so not to scerw with the stock regulator and autolite 3923 plugs. Exhaust will be high flow havent decided which way to go want to retain the stock turn down look but open to opinions....all in all looking to see what you guys thought. What am I looking at for HP and TQ anything Im leaving out feel free to comment. Thanks

the kyb's will work with the moogs,but dont expect them to last very long. the sho's dont like kyb's (or is it the other way around)

and welcome to the forum

man the thread title of this thing had me offering other suggestions for you........

welcome to SHOforum!

get a ceramic TOB too to install with the flywheel and clutch........

for cheap suspension upgrades, get some aluminum subframe bushings and check on the size of your swaybars..... a smaller front one and a larger rear one helps out a lot, they make so many different sized stock ones that you have a lot of variety out there to put together combinations

right now I'm at 20.5mm front and 26mm rear bars........

replace any worn or old suspension bushings with new ones of course...

same goes with tie rods or balljoints... a proper working steering system coupled with aluminum subframe bushings make the SHO a nice car to drive....

If you go with MOOG springs please cut at least one coil... unless you want an off-road SHO.

Did you say "working on #2, need advise?"

Don't push. Just let it happen. get a crossword puzzle or a reader's digest. Don't forget to stand up every few minutes if it takes a long time to start. your legs will thank you before it's all done.

Return CM1 and Fidanza, Stock/stock. Sensatracs and Moogs -1 to -2.5 coils (-3 if you want lol). I like turn downs personally. Just my opinions and welcome.

ok so i kinda got a wild hair does anyone know where to get a manifold for a turbo for this thing? and what would i be getting myself into here?

manifold for a turbo ? no such thing. Stock manifolds are used all around for turbo setups.
