    87GN vs Nissan thingy

    Hey Robes, Jimmy's rebuilt my tranny back in April. I went for the mid-level rebuild, I believe he charged $940 for the rebuild with a shift kit. He had a stock rebuild for somewhere around the $700 mark. I had a 2800 convertor, tranny cooler and U-joints installed at the same time. Plus he...

    Low O2's ???

    Well,my car doesn't have any accessories to speak of. But I guess I definitely need a hot wire, and I might as well change the 02 sensor while i'm at it. I will say that it's extremely frustrating. Bone stock the car ran a 14.1. Even with the stock tires on it. I'm still running a street...

    Low O2's ???

    I went to the track yesterday and ran a few times. My first pass was a 14.4 at 14#'s of boost. 02's were at 778 on my scanmaster. So for the next pass, I turned the boost up 1#. I ran a 13.7 and my 02's dropped down to 738. So I turn the fuel pressure up to 45 from 42. Next run my 02's were up...

    Caspers Knock Guage

    Same problem here, at times. I was told by Casper's, at the Nats, to hook it up to the same fuse as the wipers. Mines hooked up to the radio, and it does it on occasion,but it hasn't done it since I asked, so I haven't switched yet.

    Do you think it's quick?

    I was down on boost because my wastegate solenoid was bad. I now have a new one on, so no more 12# races.:D And yeah, he was cool about it. Don't see that very often.

    Do you think it's quick?

    Decided to take the car out for a spin the other day. I was just in cruise mode, since my wastegate solenoid was fried (12#'s boost max). While sitting at a light, I see a Mustang pull up next to me. I thought it was a V6 because I didn't hear it pull up. The light turns green and he smokes the...

    cleaning a wastegate???

    A friend gave me an adjustable wastegate with 900 miles on it. He bought a new turbo and got a new one with it. The one he gave me was full of oil. I drained most of the oil out of it but was wondering if I could spray anything into it to clean it out without ruining it.???

    Converter vs. Boost

    Everything seems to be fine except, the boost jumps to 13#'s and stays there. I checked the wastegate hose and it appears fine. It is a stock wastegate. I'm gonna try and replace it this weekend with an adjustable one. But, like you, I have work to do this weekend:( I'm putting in a new yard...

    Converter vs. Boost

    I just had my tranny rebuilt and a 2800 stall put in. Now my car won't go over 13 #'s of boost. I've got mostly stock everything with a few bolt ons. Exhaust, intake, injectors, chip etc... Could the new converter lower boost??? TIA

    Poor man tuning tips

    Chips Red Armstrong makes a good chip, also Joe Lubrant from-I Believe- Precision, makes a very good street/strip chip. I have used both but now have the Lubrant chip in and it works great with pump gas. My buddy is using the Lubrant chip in his car and his knock has gone from the 2's, which...

    Nittos?

    I'm running the BFG drag radials now, and i'm not to happy with them. I've got the 235/60/15's. With stock size, generic radials, my car ran 2.0 60 ft times. That was when the car was completely stock. After a few minor bolt ons--exhaust/chip/cold air kit etc. I went to the track with the BFG's...

    Gas tank fuel lines

    I just replaced the 3/8" fuel line on mine yesterday and was wondering, Why is the original line so long? I'm assuming that it is original because it is molded. The line was close to 3 feet long, and it did a big loop under the heat shield. Anyone know if it was made that long for a reason?
