Anyone have any experience with Deltagates on our cars? I have one sitting around, and I can't run the stock W/G with the LT downpipe...so I'm looking for any information/experience you guys might have with these things. Two things are bothering me...1st, is the Deltagate going to flow...

Well, I've been pondering this for months now...just thought I'd see what you guys (and gals) think. Here's the situation: I can't run the car at WOT at this point...anything over 5 psi will result in really bad sputtering (maybe just one cylinder--hard to tell), and then it knocks and falls...

Who sells a decent set of plug wires for our cars? I tried some of those Accel "universal" (cut and crimp your own) POS's, but the boots keep popping off of them (terminal and all). I am getting sick of re-attaching the wires to the terminals in the middle of changing plugs at the track...so do...

I know this is more for the parts for sale section but...you know how us hotair guys are "special" ;) I have an almost new set of ATR headers for sale right now. Passenger side, driver side and crossover...will sell all for $400 plus shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested.

How many people would be interested in forming a group of Series 1 enthusiasts? If there is enough interest out there, then maybe it would be worthwhile to organize what little information that we have on our cars, so that we may better help each other in the future with technical issues and...

Who has had experience with fitting a 3" downpipe in our cars? No one on Earth seems to manufacture these things anymore, so what are we to do? I have an aftermarket turbo with an exhaust outlet of about 2 5/8" in diameter. Logic (and trial and error) tells me that the stock (barely 2") downpipe...

Just wanted to see if anyone has an extra stock turbo exhaust elbow sitting around that they wouldn't mind getting rid of. I think I need a larger W/G puck, but I can't afford to be without mine while I send it off to be re-worked (as this is a daily-driver). If anyone has one or knows where...

I've been having some problems with fuel pressure lately, and need a little assistance. Here is my fuel system setup: Walbro pump with hotwire kit (less than a year old), Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator (a little over a year old), 50 lb injectors from Kenne Bell, and a Kenne Bell...

Where do you guys normally shift your cars? Seems if I let the tranny shift itself, it shifts at only 4000 to 4500 (MAX) rpm. Is this a little too low? I have rarely seen the red LEDs on my factory tach (which begins at just over 5000, right?), and I have NEVER hit the rev-limiter. Do you think...

Hey guys, where do your cars normally shift at? I have noticed that if I let the tranny shift itself, it will shift at about 4000 to 4500 (MAX) rpm. Should I manually shift it, so that I can hold it into gear until it hits 5000? This is the stock valvetrain, and I'm not sure where it runs out of...

Here's the setup: stock longblock (lotsa miles) stock tranny/D5 convertor (lotsa miles) BIG turbo (P-trim turbine in Precision A/R .63 housing w/ 65 lb/min compressor from John Craig @ Limit Engineering) Stock exhaust elbow, up-pipe, and downpipe ATR headers and crossover Bored...

I am thinking of ordering a set of ATR headers. I want to be pretty certain that I will like them before I shell out the big bucks, though. How does everyone feel about the ATRs? Good quality, good fit, do they last? Just wanna make sure, that's alot of damn money!:D

Guys, what's the easiest way to install the turbo inlet adaptor into the turbo and intake? Whoever did it before did not get it straight, but I want it right this time.

Sent my turbo off to John Craig last week, getting a big upgrade done. Ordered 50 lb injectors today. Looking for someone to bore out my throttle body, but no luck yet. Also contemplating having some intake work done...what do you guys think?

Anyone know how to test the idle air control valve? I have the valve off the car, and want to replace it if it's bad, but don't want to spend the 70 bucks if I don't have to. Also, what happens when these go bad? My car has been hard to start, especially if it sits for more than a few minutes...

What kinds of upgrades are available after the Walbro pump, hotwire kit, and adj fuel press reg? I want to run 50 lb injectors, but may need more fuel volume than my current setup can provide (just to be safe). Should I add an inline? What about a seperate fuel line for each rail? Larger...

I have been recently using a homemade alky injection kit on my car in favor of an intercooler. Have had very good results, with boost levels well above 20 psi on 50/50 alky/water and 93 octane. My problem is that the design I have is rather crude, with the alcohol spraying into the intake pipe...

Current status: Stock longblock Stock tranny (slipping) KB ram air kit stock turbo (bad) stock injectors Hooker 2 1/2 inch duals, no cat stock headers (leaky) Walbro pump, hotwired Adj regulator 87 ECM, MAF, elec fan 160 stat, blocked coolant lines to TB Alcohol injection Proposed...

I just shreeded the bearing in my stock turbo today, and would like some suggestions for a replacement turbo. I am keeping the car non-intercooled (no arguments, hehe), and would probably like to stick to the stock turbo mounting location and stock-style intake/exhaust setup. I guess what I...

In the market for a new set of headers. Stock ones are severely cracked, and I don't want to take the time to re-weld bad-flowing headers. Looking at either Kenne-Bell or Poston. Any suggestions? What has worked well for you guys? Any that I should stay away from? Would like to keep stock turbo...
