Hi.
Quick question. I have a 87 2.0L 9000T with 135,000 miles it's very clean.
It has Red injectors,APC,tweaked distributer
lowered, gas konis, steel brake line, sway bars, 16" Z wheel tires ect ect.
The car goes well but I recently blew my head gasket.
Im installing a 92 2.3 head, with a 92 2.3 non turbo or N/A intake.
1) Things I have 2.3 head, 2.3 nonturbo large intake port intake manifold
injector rails, fuel regulater bracket both from the 2.3 non turbo intake
side.
2)My question is, do I need to modifiy or tweak anything at all ?
or just bolt and go ? dose any thing need to be pluged or welded or retapped on the intake ?
3)Should I go with a standard or copper head gasket ?
4) Should I replace the timing chain or guides ?
The turbo seems fine tight bearings and spins well.
5) Should I tweak the timing or injection to compensate for new flow ?
Any advice or tweaks or time saving ideas or things I should do or replace now please send your wisdom.
Thanks Dave
