1990 Ford Probe GT Turbo
168k
2.2 Sohc Intercooled Turbo (mazda built motor for u ford haters)
IHI VJ11 TUrbo
New Tires
A/C - P/S are still on it, (but the P/s Pump , and A/c COmpressor are both shot)
Tranny rebuilt @100k
MOtor was rebuilt @130k
Pacesetter 2.5" catback
Catco 2.5" catylic converter
msd blaster pack
H4 conversion
Poyurethane bushings all around
Electronic Adjustale Suspension (which does really work)
Sony Cd player 6x9's in the back
Clear Title - passes emisisons
130hp/190tq @6lbs all stock
Good:
Car runs like its new... Boosts @ 7lbs. Turbo is in great condition doesnt burn oil at all, doesnt smoke at all. Paint is in good shape, has 2 bad spots on the hood. But it still shines everywhere else. the car is very very torquey, and it moves pretty quick. Interior is like new as well, the owner before me, did a little modification to the door panel speakers, and made a little fiberglass box for larger speakers...did a good job on it, but the carpet is slightly off color wise.
Bad:
Needs A/c compressor - P/s Pump
I think the passenger side ball joint is worn, but not really a big issue..
The exhaust manifold is missing 1 bolt, because the thread is stripped. I think it could be rethreaded, but i havent relaly put much effort into it.
I bought it as a daily driver, about a month and a half ago. Froma guy in Ga, he was the 2nd owner of it and had it for 7 years. He took such good care of the car. IT hasnt given me any problems yet. But i really wanted a automatic as a daily, i figured i would huff it out with a 5spd, and since it was such a great deal...but i need a automatic as a 2nd car. I bought it for 800$, which was a hell of a deal. soo im just looking for the same 800$ for it.
Only thing i did to it ,was the msd blaster coil - catco converter - h4 headlights-cone filter,a lso have a turbo timer/polished valve cover-intake manifold with it also just not installed.
THe vj11 turbo has been up to 22psi by other probe guys, but its limit is really 18lbs safely. With a chipped ecu, that gets rid of the 12psi fuel cut, it will make some crazy Tq. @14psi many have dynoed with a 2 1/2 exh, @ 190hp-270lbs-tq. Really strong motor, and the fuel system will safely hold u well over 15lbs. The car is very very reliable, and will be a good daily, but im tired of drivign a 5spd all the time...i ened something normal to drive around. And i keep buying shit for it, and its slowly turining into another modified car..which i dont need.
im up for a trade. soemthign reliable automatic...preferabbly 4door...relly lookin for automatic protege.. 800$ firm - or a trade. ill post the vin if its needed...
i got some pics of it when i first bought it, ill have up more tommorrow..
