    Tip-in hesitation

    I had this same problem, after going to a bigger turbo and bigger injectors. Since you have said the car has an upgraded turbo, it may also have larger injectors too. If it does, then it must, of course, have a new chip programmed for the injectors. You should check this out. After you...

    MAF Screen (s)

    They come with one. The 86/87 MAF comes with two.

    84/85 fuel rail

    Hey, don't worry about saving face - we have all done something to our cars that was a little embarrassing at one time or another. Remember what I did? Changed the injectors, remounted the fuel rail back on, put the turbo, throttlebody and everything friggin else back together - without...

    84/85 fuel rail

    Jeremy, this is Wayne (aka NEK SNAP Turbo T). What happened? Did you break or bend your original fuel rail? If you can't find one. try posting your needs on the Chicagoland Club's board too. Also, a bunch of us are going the the Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green KY next week. It's...

    K&N air filter?

    My wife and I will be there. We own an '84 T-Type - actually it's her car...I just change the oil and do the grunt work on it. We race it and put it in car shows. Would look forward to meeting you at the party. Just ask around for who Wayne and Marilyn are. Then follow the pointing fingers.

    fuel pressure gauge?

    I use a Kenne Bell. It came with a nice hood mounting bracket. The holes to mount were drilled into the UNDERSIDE of the hood, so nothing ruins the good looks of the outside (top) of the hood.

    What did your Hot-Air clock at when you first bought it?

    With our '84 T totally stock, leaving the starting line at idle rpm, the car did 16.2 sec. That was about 4 or 5 years ago. With 93 oct. chip, adj. fuel press. regulator, 9" K&N, adjustable wastegate actuator, straight pipe instead of cat. convertor, BFG drag radials, and a home made cold air...

    Hot Air with K&N Cone

    Well, that depends on exactly what you want to accomplish. In my case, I wanted to use a 9" K&N filter and position it such that it drew in air from OUTSIDE the engine compartment, since the air under the hood gets quite hot during normal operation. So, I bought a smooth pipe bent in the...

    Selling off my hot air parts inventory cheap!

    Do you have a stock turbo left? If so, what's the lowest $$ amount you'll take? Don't know what it's called, but it's a black plastic cylinder shaped part that has two small hoses going into the end of it, approx. 7" long if I remember, and its located an inch or two in front of the blower...

    Holy crap!!! YEEEEHHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!

    Jeez, you sound pretty excited! Good for you. Sounds like you haven't had a chance to put the car on the track yet, to quantify your results. We'd all be interested when you do. But in the meantime, if you can, please send some pics. My email is: waynebachar@msn.com Many thanks!

    how much$ can I get for my car

    My guess would be in the 7500 to 8500 US dollar range. It sounds like a real beauty, but it's just a darn shame that the non-intercooled cars can't garner as much in price as the 86/87 when comparing cars with the same features, condition and mileages. My wife and I have an '84 WH1, with...

    how many hotairs ?

    My wife has an 84 T-Type, WH1. She loves the car to death, and will never allow it to be changed to intercooling. Can't blame her, as I too am a hot air purist. We will be racing it in Bowling Green next week, and hoping for low 13's or high 12's. It has 90,000 mi. and a new paint job.

    Exhaust

    The ATR dual setup is not loud at all. Neither the Walker Ultra Flows nor the ATR brand Pit Bull mufflers are loud. Both types have a very pleasant, low volume sound. You'd be happy with either.

    Exhaust

    The atr dual exhaust gets my vote too. I bought 2 systems from them. First system bought about 6 or 7 years ago had the Walker stainless Ultra Flo mufflers (damn near straight thru designs). 2nd set was bought about 4 yrs ago and it came with their Pit Bull mufflers (stainless). Both systems are...
