    Electric Gauge vs. Scanmaster Temp

    My Autometer ES coolant temp gauge consistently reads about 8 degrees warmer than my Scanmaster temperature. I plumbed in the Autometer gauge where an old sensor was on the drivers side front of the intake manifold. I forget what that temperature sensor was but used that based on advice from a...

    Boost Fluctuation

    I have been slowly turning up boost and now have it set at 20psi with no KR. I noticed that when I go wot and the turbo spools, boost immediately jumps to 20psi, then drops to 18 psi and stays there until the 1-2 shift. Then bounces back to 20psi and drops to 18 again. What would cause this?

    Idle vs. Cruise BLMs

    What's the difference between idle and cruising BLM, and is it important? I can't seem to solve a hot idle BLM of 142, but when cruising they stay around 130. I've done all the checks and probably won't tear into anything yet until this winter. My WOT recall O2s are around 750-780 on a new O2...

    Trans Noise

    Hoping this isn't potentially a problem, but my transmission makes a hollow, whirring noise throughout 1st and 2nd and into third. Kind of like when you have an automatic in first and the sound its makes under load upon deceleration. It's hard to explain but I hope that makes sense. It shifts...

    Changing Injectors

    I just completed changing injectors and thought I would document this for future reference. I realize this is pretty simple, and the post is meant for the weekend warrior or the guy who is only gonna do this once or twice in his lifetime. At the behest of Charlief1 I included a lot more...

    Changing Injectors

    I have removed the injectors and noticed sludge buildup in the pocket in the manifold where the injector connects. Is it wise to try to clean this out before installing the new injectors? If so what is the recommended method?

    What will it run?

    ...besides "not very fast", what will my combo run? The only change between now and when I run it will be 60 lb. injectors. I have set boost at 20psi. Mixing 91/110 so I can safely run that boost without alky. I have crappy tires and can only launch at 0psi.

    Tire Advice

    I'm looking at MT Street Radial's for the rear in 275/50R15. The MT website suggests approved rims as 7.5-9.5 for this tire size. From what I've read the stock rim size is 7. It looks like others have ran this tire size on the stock rim with no problem, but I just want to double check. Will...

    Stumble/Backfire at WOT

    So I'm out with the car after a month or so break, and after an hour of highway and light cruising decide to mash it from a slow (5mph) roll. The car stumbled, backfired a couple times, then took off, backfired a couple times, then took off again. Alarmed I checked for KR - nothing. All...

    Fighting High BLM

    General Finish/Paint Care Questions

    What's everyone using for washing and waxing their TBs? I am reluctant to use the wand brush at my local car wash for fear of the dreaded swirling on my GN. Does anybody handwash? If so what do you use for a utensil and soap? As for wax, does anyone offer a black wax? I hate the fact I...

    Trans Jumping

    When I put my GN into reverse to back out for a spin, it "jumps" into gear. If I quickly shift from R down to D (even when stopped) it "jumps" into forward motion. I do not hear any clunking noise like it might be a u-joint, but at the same time I have not checked the u-joints either. Any...

    Finding Header Cracks

    Any tips and tricks for finding header cracks? I've had my driver's side header welded a couple times now and am still hearing a "tick" when the car is in drive under load. I'm convinced it is an exhaust leak. I can also hear a puff when starting the car and it sounds like it is coming from...

    TPS Setting at WOT

    I am having trouble setting my TPS at WOT. I can set key on at .40 easily. Then when I test for WOT the voltage reads around 3.90. Positioning the TPS to get anything over 4.0 sets the idle TPS voltage to greater than .50. If I ignore the idle setting and try to position to get the max...

    Gong Tree Material

    I need to replace our steel gong tree at the local gun club. A while back a frequent shooter recommended we make the gongs out of a certain spec of steel. Existing gongs are mild steel. I can't remember what it was and can't get in contact with the guy. I suspect it had something to do with...

    MAL Code 23

    As the title indicates I'm getting MAL code 23. I replaced the IAT sensor and still get the error code. Prior to getting the code I was getting error code 33. I replaced the MAF (from stock) with an LS1 and also changed over to the TR bigmouth cold air intake. I was not getting MAL code 23...
