    Repairs Needed

    Bison, Thank you for replying to me directly. I have heard good things about your work and abilities with GN's. Is there a way I can reach you directly to discuss my concerns with the vehicle in it's entirety? I'm uncertain how extensive the damage is the previous owners may have done to the...

    Repairs Needed

    Hi All, As I'm basically new to the GN scene I was hoping for a little help. I purchased a 87' GN that has had quite a bit of work on her as I have come to understand. Some possibly useful and some more possibly unnecessary and pointless; maybe even poorly thought out. She doesn't seem to be...

    No boost on factory boost guage

    I agree that a pro needs to look her over. I contacted Bison and he instructed me to reach out to him again tomorrow.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    Trying to diagnose and repair someone else's screw ups is more than a challenge. If the MAP does the trick the next task will be to try getting more house power and better throttle response.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    I got in touch with the guys from Caspers and asked them what the car is supposed to have. They told me 2 bar so I replaced it with another 2 bar.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    That was my guess as well. So, I figured the next logical step was to just replace it since it wasn't an expensive part.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    I did try testing the gauge by bridging the b&c points on the MAP plug with a paper clip and the boost bar shot up to maximum.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    I did set it at 1/8 and still wasn't seeing boost on the factory gage. I'm aware it is typically inadequate but I do like to know the factory stuff is operating correctly. I went and purchased a new MAP to see if that helps.

    No boost on factory boost guage

    Thanks for all the insight. I've found Cotton online but everything I put in for Bison shows no results like they might be out of business or something. I'm also gonna recheck my wastegate as the way it was set was far off from what I found it should be set at. Then again I have no idea if it...

    No boost on factory boost guage

    You guys are great with the helpful input. I don't have a scan master but, have seen many using it so, I'm thinking I should as well. I was told the car has a 2 bar MAP sensor so, I replaced it to see if that would help with the problem. The plug for the MAP sensor was unplugged at the time of...

    No boost on factory boost guage

    I'm quite sure these questions have appeared here already so, I apologize if these are redundant. However, I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm trying to figure out why my '87 GN I recently purchased is having such a boost issue. Originally my RPM and boost gauges were completely max when I would...

    Heater hose routes and items

    Thanks guys for all the helpful info. You guys know your stuff. The engine compartment of the car looks great with all that chrome. How many miles does the car have? Do actually drive it or only take it to shows? I see what you mean by removing the sensor and adding the nipple to be able to...
