She is alive once again!! Have a couple problems to work out tho!! You guys still around ?

Thanks for the confirmation, and I’ll order waffle fries next time. I still don’t know where the line goes for the disconnected hose in the 3rd pic, do you know where it goes?

Edit: it just doesn’t seem right because I have 3 oil lines and one coolant line? I have the two oil lines in the first picture that go straight to the block, one is a metal line with the banjo nut and the other is a rubber hose. The third oil line is the line that goes directly into the oil pan in the second picture. So I have three oil lines and one coolant line?

The issue is in the bottom of picture #2. Can't use crinkle cut fries on the Capri, they've gotta be waffle fries.

Sorry I had to. So the oil drain line in that picture is definitely correct. The first picture looks right, but my short term memory is awful so let me go look at my car and get back to you on that. Same with the third one. I believe those are coolant feed/return for the turbo.

Edit - Put a hose clamp on the block side of that oil drain line. You really, really don't want that to vibrate off while driving.

Double edit - It all looks right to me, just attach the line in the 3rd pic and get some hose clamps

I’m mostly confused by the lines that are on the cold side of the turbo. Theres the line that goes above the air inlet that I’m most confused by because I can’t figure out where it goes. And then there’s the line that runs under the air inlet that I’m not too sure if I hooked it up right. I tried checking techcapri.com but it seems to be down sadly.

So I’m on the last steps of rebuilding my motor and I’m stuck on son of the lines coming off the turbo. I circled all the ones I’m stuck on. Does anyone have a diagram/picture of a completed oil/coolant line assembly?

There's a guy named James Whitt that rebuilds them for $125, I think, maybe be more now. That includes return postage. You can reach him though the FB group.

I've used him a number of times and he is very dependable.

Thanks for all the reply’s! I will look into the thermostat I think that is why my radiator fan won’t turn on aswell so that could definitely be the case! And That’s exactly the upgrades I was thinking do you know where the chip is still being sold?
And No I live in alabama lowest we get just comes for a few days then the cold weather is gone

Hello! When I bought the car the driver side window didn’t work the guy selling it said “it was just off the track and needs to be put on” that was not the case the window regulator was destroyed and needed to be replaced it’s been about a year now and now it happened again the same one broke… I spent 250 dollars on the last one and i don’t really want to spent that kind of money again does anyone know how to fix or where to get one that fits?
Thanks so much!

Take it all the way back to basics. Fuel, air, spark.

Make sure you are getting spark at the plug. Easy enough to check, pull a plug out of the head but leave it plugged into the coil. Lay the thing down so the electrode is near bare metal, then have someone crank it so you can watch. You'll see the spark.

Check fuel. You said you had 40/50psi, but where? Easiest way I've found to check is to spray starting fluid into the intake just before the throttle body before cranking it. If it now starts, you know you have a fuel issue.

Air. The Capri is a pain with the VAF metering air, so any little intake leak is gonna cause problems starting. Easiest solution here would be to smoke test your whole intake, make sure its air tight.
