Does anyone know where I can get a new or like new oil pan? I am told the TTA oil pan is the same as 85-87 GN/T-type so it seems like somebody should still make them. The only one I found is the RJC deep pan but worried about clearance. Thanks!

I really don't want to sell my car but I just can't afford to keep going with it. It is a really nice low mile car. Origional Paint is in good condition, interior is good condition, drivetrain/brakes/tires in good condition. We are just completing the engine build. It has a forged stroker...

I'd really like to put a second valve cover breather on. I contacted my local junk yard and they have nothing. They gave me a list of phone numbers to other yards that did have them. Most had 3.8L 4 bolt valve cover but one had the correct 3.0L listed for $15!!! Unfortunately the number I...

I don't want to slam the person who did the work on my intake. I'd like to figure out my next step though. I had the stock iron TTA heads ported and installed by my engine builder. I later had my intake "port matched" and was persuaded to have it fully ported, the EGR welded and installed...

My engine builder thought he had one. He now says he does not have one. My custom made pistons are done, he has the rods, just no crank. Dan at DLS will have wide journal cranks/rods in a few weeks. I'd rather have the narrow journal because I already have rods and pistons for it. The pin...

I am in the middle of a complete engine build/new turbo/combo project that has taken much more time/money than I ever anticipated. Please see my sig below for my combo. While the engine is out we removed the transmission to change the governor weight and increase the shift points. As long...

When I bought my TTA from the origional owner it had the origional 20th anniversary plug wires on the car plus an additional set new in box. I took my origional set off and now have two sets on my shelf. I'm spending a lot of money on my engine build so I'm selling one set. eBay Motors...

I'm selling my 6162re and buying a little bit bigger precision turbo. I'm still torn between that 6262 and the 6765. Either one should be able to feed some more air to my new long block. I've test fit my polished turbo cover over the oil supply lines and everything fits good on the 6162re...

I bought this turbo in March with the plan to install the turbo on my car in May. Before we installed it we found my engine had a bad rod bearing forcing a rebuild. Now I've gotten carried away and with a built bottom end I can handle a bigger turbo. The 6162re is the new boosted dbb turbo...

I'm in process of collecting parts while my engine is getting built. On my list is a new air filter. My mechanic is not a fan of the cotton air filters (like K&N) because of their dust collecting properties. He says they flow great but the loose weave does not trap the dirt before entering...

I've been looking for a new MAF pipe. I'd like to get a 3 1/2 inch to match my LS1 MAF sensor. Does anyone know where I could find such a thing? I already tried Grumpy and he doesn't make MAF pipes anymore. I had somebody suggest full throttle and they don't have them. Any other...

I just got a translator and a 3 1/2 inch factory LT1/LS1 MAF for my TTA. I am a new car dealer and I also just got a 1995 Corvette on trade at my used car lot. The guy had put a cold air box and a Granatelli Motorsport 3 1/2 inch MAF on the Corvette tuned for the cold air box. Would the...

I have been modifying my TTA and drag racing it just a little bit. The long block has been completely untouched. I upgraded the downpipe and exhaust last year. I also installed a 3000 stall torque converter last year. Once the down pipe was installed I picked it up from the shop and the...

I am ordering the necessary lines and hoses to hook up the new turbo on my TTA. I have gotten to the point of ordering some new hoses that adapt my MAF pipe to the turbo, and the turbo to the intercooler, intercooler to up pipe, etc. I've seen a bunch of different styles from all the underhood...

I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and order a turbo. I guess I'm still not completely set on the 6162 or the 6765 but I'm going to have to make my decision pretty soon and just not look back. Anyways, I got a custom polished turbo cover from my wife for a christmas present 3 years...

I was looking through summit and saw a kit to shoot nitrous over the intercooler fins to make the air colder. Anyone try one of these? do they work?

For christmas this year I talked my wife into buying an electic exhaust cutout for my TTA. She went to place the order online last night and the order form requires her to enter the lenght of wire requested???:confused: Anybody know? Also any help with how to hook it up and mount the switch...

I have now had my car to the track twice in my life. For bracket racing I am NOT consistant. My ET's have varied directly with my 60ft times. I can't seem to lauch at the same RPM/Boost twice. I am really trying to bring up the RPM's as much as I can with the TC but the car wants to push...

I am the general manager of a small pontiac buick gmc dealership. I have recently lost my service manager so I have been filling in writing RO's for the last month or so. Last week I had a very unique man being very specific that he wanted his oil change done with a semi-synthetic oil. As...

I don't really plan on hanging tires in this car any time soon just wondering what it takes for a TTA. I have seen 11 second cars with soft suspensions that have feather light front ends and I've seen some really fast cars that just launch flat. Where is the setup with our cars? I'm sure it's...
