Hi guys, just finished doing the cylinder head replacement on my 84 900 Turbo 8 Valve. I'm not sure what compression is like (Should I check this) Just going to be checking base boost and things like that over the next few days, however wanted some insight into ways to increase power a bit
Ive got a newer turbo (water cooled) Garrett in it (previous owner did this) and a 3'' turbo back exhaust (previous owner did this too, woooo
I was wondering what amount of boost I can safely get out of the engine as is.. its done 230 000km, is an intercooler out of a later 900 turbo a good idea for better boost? if so is there any swapover walkthroughs or threads on it?
Also i've read a lot about air/fuel ratio gauges being very important asset in T8's as they have CIS injection. What do I need for this system? do I already have an O2 sensor in my exhaust (would it be further down the exhaust as I cant see one on the manifold)? if not can I drill a hole and tap a thread or would I have to buy a different manifold with a thread for an O2 sensor?
Sorry for so many questions, thanks in advance for any help
