    N Ca White 86 T-Type

    I barely pull her out of the garage, and it's time to free up some cash. Since having Turbo Lou build me this engine in '09 I've only put 7K on it. It's been reliable, I'd trust driving it anywhere. All the parts I've upgraded I did with the goal of going fast and making it last. Lou built it...

    adding methanol while engine is hot?

    I just thought about it yesterday... before I start her up I always top off the meth. Do any of you ever use so much you need to add it while the engine is hot? I don't think I'd be comfortable unless I pumped it in. As is, I just pour into a funnel. Anyway, I was just curious.

    Art carr n/l 3400-3600 converter

    Bought this converter off a board member about 6 months ago, was going one route, decided to go another. I never installed, never pulled it out of the box it was shipped in. I am using previous seller's photo. He is a well respected board member and I'll stand behind it's condition. This is...

    Found my source of false knock

    Went digging around looking for a false knock issue and found this: The downpipe is hitting the upper control arm, hard enough you can see it dented the dp, and left a nice mark on the arm. What would be the best fix for this? Or should I say, for those that had this problem, what did...

    new billet wheel dbb turbo and alky

    I really love my new 6262 billet wheel ball bearing turbo. However, I have been experiencing something I need to have resolved. I am having a little issue with some knock. After the new turbo was installed I started having some mid-boost issues. Car had no problems with knock prior to the...

    6262dbb billet first impressions

    I would defiantly NOT recommend this turbo to anybody with heart problems, bladder control issues, or anxiety. :eek::eek::eek: Otherwise, I finished up the install, got her out today for the first test drive and came back with pants full of crap! It is way faster on the 15lbs that I was...

    Cotton's performance

    I've bought a few things from Jack, and every time I get great customer service. I recently ordered a turbo from him and everything was smooth and fast as could be. I've chatted with him a few times on the phone, and what made me go back with him over other vendors was the customer service...

    help pick stock appearing turbo

    I've barely had a chance to get the car out since the new engine as I'm under smog laws here in ca. So it's been down as I tear it apart to put stock stuff back on, then I realize that I had to cut a stud to get a bolt off the stock turbo and with my very limited time to work on it lately (only...

    Track time

    Got to take the car out to a local track, first time with my new combo. It was old school style drop the flag run what you brung stuff, but it was fun. I couldn't get the car to hook up or spool at the line, so I looked stupid out there! Time to work on that! But it was fun, all street legal...

    my new car, you'll hate me

    Well, I have a new turbo 6. And I know what many of you are going to think of me, giving my money to a foreign car company. I test drove many cars by GM and ford, but they just do not compare. I just think BMW makes a better product. I needed something to replace my daily driver 96 impala...

    Turbo Lou - Lou's Automotive

    Big thumbs up to Lou. Not only did he build me a great engine, but he really took care of me. It's the little things that he does for you. He takes his time and gets it right. He even messed with some little things on my car, like my annoying speedo cable that I just never got around to...

    Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. I have recently upgraded to Moog #5413 rear and #5658 front coil springs, rear control arms in sig, gas-a-just shocks. I'm looking for a sway bar to compliment my setup. This is a street car and I'm looking for a little more handling...

    need help with climate control

    Here's what's going on: climate control seems to be good until you adjust the temperature (it's electronic touch by the way). Then the temperature LED starts blinking and it only wants to blow hot air! Would anybody know how I could go about fixing this? Should I swap to a manual control and...

    exhaust dump before cat?

    I was thinking the other night about being a responsible human being and having a good cat on my 3" downpipe and how cool it would be to have a dump before the cat for those times you need the dump. Heck, to counter the restriction of a cat (on street cars of course) a little 2" dump would be...
