Mines also a 90, came twin turbo from the factory. She has a misfire from hell in cyl 2 that I can't trace (leakdown tester on it's way) but I love the damn car too much to get rid of it lol. How difficult was the tt swap?

The TT swap isn't that hard at all, the most difficult part of the whole process is keeping track of all the damn parts is such a small space.

As for the misfire did you check your injector, coil pack, and spark plug?

I don't know if it would look good on a truck that isn't black but I'm into the black out taillight look where its a peice of black plastic that covers the taillight. I don't care for taillights at all though, thats why I shaved mine. I like line of fires... LED bar whatever you wanna call it.

Yea I hear ya, lotta parts I bet! Got any performance parts on her?

yep, all fresh stock gapped oem plugs, replaced injector, all injectors ohm fine, replaced coil pack, replaced ptu, working on re soldering ptu crimps from tsb replacement, replaced injector and cop connectors, checked ecu signal with led test light, still a no-go. Gotta be ptu wiring, cracked valve seat, or my piston rings are fubard. Drives me nuts to not be able to work on her under all that snow and ice.

I really like the smoked look, don't ask, just a fan, and I hate lots of chrome. So these seemed to attract my attention the best.



Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions?

Im getting those with my tax return bro. Go for it.

holy hell, didn't know what a beast your z was. I'd like to see what kind of numbers and times shed put down. I hear Kyle from ipp does a great job. But yea, there's plenty of "bonding time" to come for this misfire...
