Its a decent looking car, but it mite be a nother parts car! i just need to check to see whats its gona take!

I'd say you could get it running with the 460's but it really won't run like that. It's going to run to lean and go kaput. I'd really, really advise againt doing that.

If your doing this on the cheap, go to CarParts.com and buy some injectors for something like sixty bucks apiece. They'll work just fine. I'd be leary of buying used injectors. And for the 88 you'd need high impedence injectors. Something like 12ohms. Your 86/87 are likely the low impedence 2ohm ones, so don't think about using them, EVER.

On a turbo, never downgrade the injectors. Stock were 550cc NA 460cc. Turbo injectors are cheap if you find them used just have them cleaned by a pro if you can't afford new ones. If you do find '87 TII ones (2-3 Ohm), you need 10 or 20W resistors or else you'll fry the injectors since the '88's were 12-13 Ohm. If you're not sure, use a multimeter
and check your stock ones.
If it's too much hassle for you to send them out, use a AA battery on the injectors to open them while shooting carb cleaner through it. It's not as effective as a pro cleaning but it's better than nothing. You'll hear a distinctive clear "click" after it's cleaned up compared to
a "thuck". Never use a 12v directly on the injectors as you'll fry them. A AA or AAA battery is just enough to open the injectors.
