Hey there! I just found this place, after months of trying to join the dead/dying Starquest site, I finally found a Starion site! This is my first build with something that has pistons instead of rotors, so some of this is a bit odd to me.
Anyway, I've got myself a rust free 88 Quest, 90k on it and full of rat shit! Yeah it's the best. I bought the car non-running, and fixed the wiring harness, got my injectors flowed, found a new 89 ECU, replaced all the ignition components, Upgraded to the S5 Rotary Alternator, and go the car running.
Of course the fuel pump died, but that's due to the shit wiring the PO did, so it's getting a new pump, which has been a headache in and of itself.
I've got all new interior for it too, did I mention it smelled like rats?
New mechanical oil pressure sender; I'm getting 90-100 on cold idle and 20-30 hot idle. It builds very quickly when revving so I think I've got good bearings.
Compression tested around 135-140 all 4 cold, so I think that's good yeah?
I've replaced 90 percent of the old vacuum line with new silicon hose. I'm a bit confused, and the manual I have doesn't show it, but how does the wastegate plumbing work?
I know that's a lot for an intro, but I have a about 3-4 months of work into it with no one to tell about it lmao.
