Just remember when they run out of Hondas they will move onto something else, maybe your car?

The "boob" and I got the finishing touches put on the GN we are working on, and got it fired. It's idling around 1000 - 1100 RPM, and I have tried setting base idle via procedure followed by TPS which seems to help for a minute then it's back to same problem. NO vacuum leaks I have looked and...

I see some beak marks :rolleyes: Aaah Aaah...:biggrin:

Thanks, The instructions for the Victor bolts and the Buick Shop Manual were both exactly the same so I can only assume the bolt design is exactly the same as far as stretch etc.:confused:

Well I got my hands on one of the big Buick shop manuals, and it says the exact same thing, if you reach 60 lbs tq on the first 90*, leave it. Looks like thats the procedure on the TTY bolts. :smile:

Putting a GN motor back together for someone and he bought these torque to angle headbolts. The instructions call for 25 lb tq, then step 2 90*, step 3 90*, but under this it says "60 tq may be reached during step 2, if so do not repeat step 3. Installing the bolts sure enough it hit 60 ft...

Wow, blue tops going 11.0s and TA 49s on stock long blocks in the 10:eek: Does anyone know if a guy by the name of Mannie Ecker still runs his black Turbo T? Just curious as he did some work on a buddies GN years ago [1996] and I have some runs of his car at Dragway 42, going back to mid...

Small world Heh.. Gator just did a ported inline intake for me not too long ago. I have an 84 SVO. Has a ported E6, LA3 EEC & brown tops, Bob lee Elbow, 3" d/p, fuel mods, and all the other basic stuff you do. Just put some Draglites and ET Streets on a few weeks ago.. Hope to go low 13s or...

Hey Tim, Glad to hear the problem wasn't something big. That would totally SUCK. Back in spring of 1999 I spent a ton of money having someone do a total rebuild to the engine in my Limited only to have to pull it back out... :mad: Needless to say I never let that "someone" near my car...

If the block was worked on by a machine shop, be sure to check to see if the machine shop put those 2 little coolant drain plugs back in each side of the block. The removed mine and never put them back in... I didnt notice, so we assembled my engine... and when we got the thing all done and...

Turbocars - Great times with the Limited. I have always liked the TA 49 and you've run some outstanding times with it. The Ohio cars always seem to go FAST with such mild combos. Doesn't surprise me :) There was a guy in Akron by the name of Mannie Ecker.. He did some work on a friend of...

Deja vu!! Wow.. I've got a better one! I installed a Zex Kit on my buddies 2001 Honda Civic. Started out with the 50 HP jets, 94 octane pump gas.. Car loved it, and ran great.. was zippy for what it was.. Left the timing stock.. I told him that at the track with some 100 octane no lead...

Do you have stock gears in your rear? If you have the 3.42s... Stay with your 26" slicks until your car starts to approach the high 11s. If you have 4.11 gears.. Go for it.. the 30" tall tires will work, if you can get them to fit without rubbing, chewing themselves up on the launch and...

Hey guys... I emailed with St Thomas and we are good to go there so long as the weather cooperates.

Dave, ...you read my mind. I have my St Thomas schedule here and Oct 27th is a regular ol test and tune.. Prolly be real quiet... get in lots of runs. I dont feel like driving 3 hours to get put aside for a pile of Mustangs. (nothing against Mustangs). Want to get in more than 2...
