Project Zero G Forums

The goal is 200whp for under $500. Think it can be done?
Right now I eliminated the pre cat.
Started to fab up an intake pipe and do a k&n intake and 1g maf
New spark plugs, new battery,
Accel wires and msd coil are on the way.

Where should I start. Intake/exhaust will be done soon. What's next?

Would prefer the cosmo but anything that looks like it will do.

^looks exactly like this.


if anyone sees one on starquest club please pm them for me as I can't log in.

Still can't get on the damn starquest club site.

Got the car to run, got new injector clips. Had a minor fuel leak out of the top oring on one injector, let the car warm up and it disappeared. :D

Now I don't know what to do. I am probably going to add a bov, and would love to lose this stupid maf ...

Hey should all be the same no? Mine is an 88.

Guess I'm screwed because i can't access SQC. Can you PM a mod over there for me?

I tried the diagnostic port and all I think it has a bad o2 sensor, however shouldn't it still run with a bad 02?

Still got the stock 2.6 in there. Wish it had the 4g I would have no problem on that motor.
Ok figured out the first cat was clogged so I cut it off and welded up a exhaust tube straight down. Did a compression test and 1,3,4 are 110 and cyl 2 is 90.
Is 110 about average on this car? Or could it be ...

Does this car share the same computer with any other cars? Any chance a 1g ecu would work or can be made to work?
Won't get to drive it again until the weekend, pulled off the water pump and a/c compressor.

Maybe I don't k ow anyone with a ecu to swap with though.

That pic is wrong, I looked in the manual that came with the car in the back seat, got it running smoother. I can get it to 4k rpm but that is it, still stalls if I push the gas down.
Here is a video, when the rpms drop its me pushing the gas

Still wouldnt mind having a spare if anyone has one they are not using.

Cleaned the maf and no difference. Next I will try to unplug the maf and double check the wiring for spark plugs.
I found this pic, is this the correct order?

Got her started and let it warm up, got it out of the garage went down to the court and turned around on it's own power. Probably didn't go more than 10mph. Come to the drive way which is at a very slight hill, maybe 20* and the car wouldn't go up it. Wouldn't rev past 3k either. If I gave it full ...

Put in 2 new fusible links today, the other 2 didn't match what was in the car. And one had I hooks on both ends.

No start today so I was playing around inside the car to see if all the lights worked and after playing with all the buttons, I hit one of the headlight buttons and heard something ...

No reason really, just always wanted to do one and I figured it would be a good way to start the project. You have good valid points so I will reconsider. Any fuel cells that would stay under? I was thinking of cutting out the whole top of the hatch, but I guess I won't anymore

I remember reading somewhere on the board someone said all the relays and such that needed to be working for the headlights to work and I can't find it again. Anyone know? They are stuck up and the headlights and brights don't work at all.

Thinking about if I keep this car the first thing I am going to do is put a fuel cell in it. Probably a poly cell from summit, maybe 12 gallons.
Questions.
Where does this mount to exactly? I have never done one before? I plan to cut the floor panel in the hatch and if it needs bracing I can weld ...

It started to crank seems to be a loose wire. Does that white clip on the coil have to be plugged in to get spark?

I have a new battery, it's only 2 weeks old. Little one from walmart that matches the car, only 500cca. I been trying to get the car started and had no luck, until the other night I got it to fire up for a second or two before it died. I have had the battery on a charger for a good solid 24hours and ...

Do you have to hold the brake pedal to start this car?

Still planning out what i am going to do with this car. Step 1 is getting it to run on the stock stuff before I go any further.
I have a friend that is thinking of parting out his good running auto 92 tsi.
If I get his motor/ecu/wire harness (just the ecu harness, correct?), get a trans and adapter ...

This one broke so I used jb weld. Put it on and no more fuel leak, but haven't started it. At least now I can enjoy the garage with out open fuel lines.

I got a fitting showing up in a few days and will let you know if it fits.

No stock station engine

Can anyone confirm the outlet for a 1g rail fits the inlet on this car? I only want to buy this once.

So you use a 4g63 outlet fitting for the inlet on the conquest?

I did tap it but drilled the holes a little too big so I put this as another measurement to hold it in place.

Well took a shot today and took the stock feed line and cut off the skinny stock metal line and ground it smooth. Drilled it out with a small bit and went up to 3/8. 3/8 was actually just a little too big, but hey it's trial and error right. Went to my dads house and got a 1/8 NPT tap and tapped it ...

Can't find a new oem fuel feed line so I ordered some parts for a SS one. I ordered 2 12x1.25 fittings that are 6an on the other side and some SS hose and fittings.
Will a 12x1.25 piece fit into the rail or does it need to be bigger? Can I tap and thread it in? Which I prefer or should I jb weld it ...

Does that fit? I tried the stock 2g line and the fitting for the rail doesn't fit, it's too big.

Mine has a leak. Or can someone tell me who sells a kit from the filter to the rail. I want this fixed asap my garage is smelling like fuel.

New relay and it turns over and is leaking fuel. That damn banjo bolt. What is the thread/pitch so I can get a new one? OR if I do a new fuel feed line all the way from the pump what fitting goes on the pump? Wanting to get this done asap.

Car won't start, not getting fuel. I knew this when I bought it, last owner said it was the pump. If I hook the pump up to my battery tender it fires right up. Is there any other fuse box on this thing besides the one under the dash?
I'm thinking it's the relay
Possibly this one

Got one, thanks.

Hi everyone.
I picked up an 88 white 5spd conquest that is in need of some tlc. Needs a fuel pump and water pump. New headgasket and other misc parts are on there.
164k miles on the clock.
I have about a million questions to ask so if someone can point me in the proper direction it would be much ...
