  • any STL probe owners here.

    Hey whats up guys my name is tom. i drive a 1993 Ford Probe GT. bout it off a kid for 1000 dollars. wasnt in the best shape. anybody in the STL area here?

    http://i42.tinypic.com/ok5rsx.jpg

    problems when i bought it, i fixed up most of it.

    busted front left control arm. (fixed)

    bad front left wheel bearing.(fixed)

    timing belt tensioner was busted to the timing belt was flopping around, so the timing was off. (fixed)

    fuel injector in cylinder 6 was busted. (fixed)

    The kid also spray painted the car on both sides from fender to quarter panel, he did it when he put some gay blue stripe on. the wheels were also painted. roof, hood and trunk lid are fine. ( gonna repaint it soon)


    It has Cold air intake, magnaflow headers, custom magnaflow exhaust, short throw shifter, stage 2 clutch, im gonna put stronger internals in the engine soon, then turbo.

          PSI is arbitrary. What you need to concern yourself with is CFM that a given turbo charger puts out. 10 psi on t25 is different than 10psi on a gt42. Most typically go with the ebay 50 trim on here and typically people run those anywhere from 8-12psi and it is a 54mm compressor wheel and a 56mm exducer. Keeping it around 300whp will be safe based upon driving habits.

                    Good deal! Just keep an eye out on here. I usually send out a massive PM about meets as well. So set your account up to get email notification of PMs if you don't mind.
