starting motor

[ty166]

my ty has sat FOREVER and im in the process of getting it fired up. i dont foresee any problems but is it ok to start the motor with out the orange elbow from the turbo to the upper intercooler (or the upper intecooler for that fact)..... i had a air to air that i removed and all the original upper pieces are 50 miles away and i want to start this befor i leave town monday. i think it should be ok but thought id double check first with people more knoledgable than me (which is pretty much everyone lol). not gonna drive it , just wanna fire it up long enough to top off the trans fluid and make sure it starts amd runs.

No problem at all. Just make sure it doesn't suck anything in like a rag or anything else.

Good luck!

thanks guys , i dropped the tank and drained out all the 9 year old gas and did just that and it started and purred like a kitten. now next weekend back on with the stock upper and lower intercooler and a good once over and finally outta the garae under its own power for the first time since 2003.

How did the inside of the tank look after years of storage ??

it was a brand new tank when i stored it, it only had about two gallons of gas in it , but it wasnt pretty thats for sure. it cleaned up pretty good but i would for sure empty the tank next time i plan on leavin something sit for any period of time.

Re: starting motor

I've seen quite a few people DD turbo cars without a filter. I did for awhile since my crossover tube broke for the 3rd time and wasn't able to use it.
