    Ramchargers fans/Intrepid fans - those who've done it please chime in

    Not exactly. I'm going by my memory from about 15 years ago, so I invite someone to correct me if my details are wrong. Each of the two "Intrepid" fans has two sets of coils. If you apply power to one set of coils, that fan will come on "low" speed. If you apply power to both sets of coils...

    Ramchargers fans/Intrepid fans - those who've done it please chime in

    RAMCHARGERS DUAL FAN INSTALLATION When I received my Ramchargers dual fans for my Grand National, my goal was to install them with no modifications to my car (no new drilled holes, etc.). Using the methods and bracket designs below, I was successful. It took me considerable time and patience...

    Ramchargers fans/Intrepid fans - those who've done it please chime in

    I think this web site lost a lot of photos during a recent server crash. I tried to edit my post above and re-add the photos. However, I didn't see how I could edit the post. Amazingly, I still have the HTML code from my original web page post from 2003. I will cut-and-paste it into my next...

    GSXtra (GSCA Magazines)

    Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I've been traveling a lot for work recently, and my two-year-old is not very patient with me when I'm looking through old car magazines... I looked through all of the issues that I have. I found an article by Gene Ross about buying a "Bobby Labonte...

    Anybody from northwest indiana?

    I'm in Schererville, but haven't had my GN for several years. I wouldn't mind seeing yours if you guys ever meet up somewhere. Might help me miss my old car a little less. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Woodward Wednesday

    I'm going to be in town for some company meetings, so I'm about 90% sure that I'll be able to go. Hopefully some of my old MBTC friends will be able to go as well. Mike Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Digital Dash turbo boost reading went out...

    On mine, it was the Hobbs switch. It is mounted to the passenger fender. It has a vacuum line and electrical connector attached to it. They tend to go bad over the years and stop closing to ground when pressure is applied like they're supposed to. Part is no longer available. If you do a...

    TA49/TE44 real data

    Don't know what to say. I had the ATR rear bar, tubular UCA's and LCA's, air bags, adjustable shocks and drag radials. Would still spin the tires from a stop on the street as the boost ramped up very quickly. And that was pump gas at 17 to 18 psi. Almost like the weight wasn't transferring fast...

    TA49/TE44 real data

    No dyno data. Just DirectScan logs. Best run was 11.42@119. That was on 100-octane unleaded and no alky, around 25 to 26 psi. I was locking the converter in 3rd gear. I estimated that the engine was making around 480 hp at the crank based on the car weight and mph. But of course that's an...

    TA49/TE44 real data

    I was running similar valve springs. But I had a large FMIC that may have helped. The re-stalled D5 eliminated problems with spool up. If anything, I wanted to slow down the spool to keep from blowing the tires off. I was down around 25 psi, so the turbine wasn't quite all-in. It did pull...

    TA49/TE44 real data

    I wonder how much a PTE housing would help the 4600 RPM fall off? I had a PTE housing with a very similar combo (stock engine with valve springs, THDP, no porting, 3 inch MAF with no screens), and it pulled well all the way up to the 5200+ shift. My guess would be that turbine housing or...
