Hi there, The time has come to sell my 87 GN. I've owned it since 2005 and it has been great, but hobbies change and our local McDonalds killed the cruise night in town so I really don't use it. I am very picky so consider the description that follows conservative...you won't be disappointed...

At the dyno today the guys working mentioned that a car rebuilt with forged pistons that didn't originally have them will have very different harmonics. Thus the knock sensor won't behave nearly like it should. I was getting some wierd knock numbers today, that would come/go for no real...

I'm going to try to hit the dyno this week, and I seem to recall several things you need to do/think about when on the dyno. 1. I remember locking the converter making a difference, although I don't think I want to unless it's a must. Seems like it would be a false positive of sorts...

Was looking around the used parts for sale thinking about getting another turbo. I have a TA60/THDP combo with four bolts. What Turbo's can I install that would be an upgrade without changing anything significant? Also want to retain the stock look...TA49/60/61's are the only one I know for...

After going to the track recently and being a little bummed, I had to remove the volt booster. Now the car revs freely up past 110mph where before it used to fall on its face. Problem is I'm getting some really low numbers on the scanmaster, and high numbers in the knock department. The...

Let me start by saying this car is an absolute animal on the street, and is in perfect tune. No BLM nonsense, IAC and all settings perfect. My tranny builder and one of my best friends (both of whom have been into the running 9's or better for years) both come away with huge grins and nothing...

I'm thinking about upgrading from a factory style head unit and speakers to something very moderate. First question: When upgrading the head unit do I need some type of filler panel, it appears a standard unit is smaller (height wise) than the stock type. Second: I have CSII and want...

Anyone have any idea what MPH our cars shift at on the 1-2 and 2-3 during a wide open blast? I'm asking because when I do quick checks on the scan master after a run or two 49mph showed up a couple of times today. Thanks in advance.

I'm curious what changes people make when tuning on their alky kit. I'm running the minimum boost I can with the hd actuator (22ish) and with baseline fuel on the tt chip and the alky knob at 5, I still can get a bit of knock. Even today (very good air) I added 5% fuel, and had a reading of...

Where do your cars shift when you are driving normal, say around town? Please provide RPM/MPH if you have it for 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Thanks, EW

I Recently had Eric at TT put converter into wot lockup mode above 90 mph thinking that would only be applicable at the track. Took car out today, drove about 45 mins to my inlaws, 60mph backroads the entire way. One good blast to about 100 at the end of the ride, and the car has not shifted...

I just installed my newly rebuilt TA60...Limit told me the likely cause of bearing failure (and resulting James Bond smokescreen) was some holdover bearing material, likely from engine break-in. Motor has less than 2k miles on it and was apparently broken in with new turbo. Anyway, I was...

Mine is getting fixed as we speak...how long did it take for the car to stop smoking once you started running it again? I'm trying to decide if I need to clean any residual oil out of the exhaust, and if so how to do it. Any help is appreciated. Eric

I've been chasing a smoking problem since I bought my car and now know what it was. I removed the turbo and it is obvious the seals are leaking on the exh side. Now, my problem is when I bought the car, the prev owner told me he had done the very same repair w/ the turbo vendor a short time...

Well like you said razor, my "out of the box" tune up seems to be really close, 770ish with 0.0 KR. Question for you......If I just wanted to bump that to 780-800, I could use fuel pressure, adjust eric's chip, or turn the blue knob on the alky controller...is there a "right" answer? Right...

In the process of installing Razor's kit....do the lines go on the top of the pump or the bottom? I've seen pics showing it both ways??? Thanks, Eric

I was going to buy the nice one from accmachtech.com, sold out until NOV. I see the ones on Ebay, and they gouge for shipping. I guess you're still only looking at $26 total. Is there an option I can buy locally? Also, where are people mounting them? The best I've seen so far is on the...

Lot's of posts about this turbo/converter combo spools fast, this one doesn't. Can you give me an example of a combo that spools really fast, verses one that is really slow? What symptoms are present when a combo doesn't spool fast? How long does should it take to get into boost when you...

I had been running 100 octane in the car for a while..never any knock even up around 19-21 lbs boost. Tried 93 and whoa, now I know what people are referring to. I was knocking like crazy south of 15lbs, up to 5 degrees KR for a split second. My first question is can you always hear it if...

Curious what everyone has seen when their sensor is known bad. I just ordered 3 new denso's, should be here by the weekend. AC today. I'm asking because it seems like my 02mv at cruise and even idle can be all over the map....120, 400, 730,550, that type of thing. I suppose a perfect 780...
