I guess I can make a thread about this car since I am kind of modding it... I bought it from another turbobricks member as a DD because the AC worked really good and I figured that modding your DD wasn't the best idea anymore. Wanting to keep the paint of my 240 in decent shape still I went for...

1988 745 Turbo Stock I just did a manual swap on my 88 740 Turbo on tuesday to a M46. The car ran fine minus the fact I had the guibo on backwards, I did not run it super long that way and the vibrations were not all that terrible, otherwise everything worked fine, synchros were perfect no...

I have this very weird issue where I keep blowing fuse 8 on my 89 240. First happened about a month ago, hit a bump in the road and my radio shut off, lost the interior dome light and my door chime kept going off, power locks also stopped working. put a new fuse in, hit a bump in the road and...

Thanks for the help, I am chasing a short coming from the fuse 8 circuit thats intermittent too and ill try looking into the door lock circuit.

Pulled apart the turbo I got and... Its a rebuilt TD04 Its chipped, can I still run this safely at 18psi or is it not worth the effort of installing it.

So I was thinking in class about redoing my valve cover breather, the one I got from ebay was never of the best design and still leaks a bit of oil, safe to say that I am not happy with it overall but the engine is happy and there are no other oil leaks. Yeah its a rip off of the moroso one...

Alright so I got an 89 240 B230FT M46 Everything works fine but for me I want the instrument cluster lighting to be oem where the 5 light works and the shift light works too. Thing is I don't know whats involved. Is there a place on the back of the cluster where the 5 light can be plugged...

Hey guys I got a LH2.4 240 with a turbo. (Basically a 940 turbo setup) So I have been having issues lately with my idle. When I go driving on the highway, when I go to stop, my idle will go from its normal 750 rpm to 1500 rpm and stay there. Now if I put the car into neutral on the highway, it...

My cars hood release is an absolute bitch and its ugly. I hate these things. Every single time I open my hood now, the release pops out and part of the cable goes inside the car, then I have to push part of the cable back out and clip it into the firewall again. How hard is it to swap to a 93...

Well, friend and I test fit his extra 740 wing on the 240 and all as a joke, I put it on there and was like, wait a minute this could actually work. I know I am going to get some hate for this but I very much like it but I am split to either doing the raised or flat trunk, initially I was going...

Here are my plans, got a cheap 13G turbo needing a rebuild and putting a 19t Compressor kit on it, got the rebuild kit on the way. I am getting this turbo rebalanced in the first place. So about the turbine wheel... 1. Should I worry about it? 2. Is this fixable? 3. Would a turbo shop be able...
