During a recent valve spring swap the cheap valve spring compressor I rented from Autozone slipped before I got the retainer locks all the way in. This created a nice gouge in one of my valve locks and I would like to replace the set with the damaged lock. The retainers and the locks are old...

Ok guys, I have been doing some additional research and I believe there is some info I need to add. When I test for spark it was there but weak (light orange color not bright blue flame). I had the ignition module tested at auto zone and their tester indicated the module is good. I also checked...

I recently replaced the lifters in my 84 GN. The car ran fine before then except for the knock sensor picking up the lifter noise. Now the car cranks but will not start. I have went through all of the following with no luck. - fuel pump comes on and produces good pressure in the rail - tested...

Great Info Thanks to everyone for the information. henschman, when you run the 50/50 mix with the E85 chip, other than keeping the boost low, do you make any other adjustments to compensate for the 50/50 blend (MAFT adjustments, TT E85 chip adjustments, etc.)?

I know that most of the street/strip and race guys in this forum run large injectors and 100% E85. However, do any of the daily driver/ street guys run dual chips. For example run 100% E85 with a TT E85 chip and 50 lb injectors then switch back to 93 octane with a chip burned to run the 50 lbs...

I just purchased an '86 t-type with 121k miles on the engine. I am the 4th owner of the car. The previous owner did not know if the trans. has been rebuilt (he had the car for 2 years) but the only mods. to the engine are a set of green stripe (30 lb.) injectors and an ATR fuel pump with a...

My decision Thanks to everyone who replied. I have decided to go with a TA33, a set of 37 lb/hr Delphi injectors, and a custom burned chip from Joe at PTE for my stock '84 GN ECM. Bobby

ATEAV8GN, thanks for the reply. This brings me to another question do any of you guys know of any chip maker who burns chips for use with the high flow (36 lbs. and greater) injectors and the stock 84/85 ECM. I am think about swapping to an 86/87 ECM in the future but buying the TA33 and larger...

Thanks for the info guys. It appears that stock (or 30 lb.) injectors are OK as long as I keep the boost at stock (12 lbs. or less) levels. More boost requires larger injectors. Bobby

I know that the majority of you guys who are running the TA33 turbo have upgraded to the 36 or 37 lb injectors but, I would like to know how many of you with the TA33 are running the stock or 30 lb. injectors. Also, if you are running a TA33 with the stock or 30 lb injector what problems do you...

Thanks for the info Lee. I have begun to put together a game plan. I would like to basically follow the procedure you suggested except for the welding. I may want to go to a little bigger turbo in the future so I am going to try to use an intercooler hose for the turbo to adapter connection...

Thanks to Cheesehead and the rest of you for the info! Does anyone know what kind of performance increase I can expect from this swap? Bobby

I know that some of you are running the stock turbos from the I/C cars on the HOT AIR cars. How much trouble is it to adapt these turbos to a factory hot air intake? I know it will invole re-clocking the turbine and the compressor housings. The main concern I have is connecting it to the intake...
