There has been dumber posts on here......... right?

Yep.....

LMAO!!!!! I guess I am providing the comedy on this site today! I have owned this car for 10 years and I always thought L8 (engine load) was LB (oil pressure). I feel like a total dipshit......haha!! I went out and found the printed off (tuning with a scanmaster) sheet the old owner gave me and...

I am not sure if I understand your question. I have been keeping 1 eye on the scanmasters oil pressure reading while driving. I have put maybe 40 miles on this engine in only a few trips around the county. Michigan is unpredictable this time of year so next week when it is suppose to be dry and...

I have a new 3.8 engine I purchased that was never fired. Because the builder is deceased I do not know how it was put together. My oil pressure hot is 22lbs at idle, just tap the gas and it will hit 50, 45-60lbs steady driving at 2500-3000 rpm. When I hammer it I have seen pressure pushing...

I definitely need the antifreeze in the middle of Michigan! I would rather store the car in the living room somehow but the woman don't agree..... Ha! I am 99% sure it has cometic gaskets. This is the first engine for a project I have NOT built myself. All other engines I put together were sbc...

Have you used the sealing tablet yourself pacecarta? I figured if I pulled the stud out and resealed I would do a re-torque on the heads after a few heat cycles just to make sure I had an even torque. I am worried about creating more leaks if a stud turns though..... maybe if I do I will try the...

Thanks Chuck for the reply and advice. No..... it has the cast iron champions on it.

Hi all, someone will probably point to a million treads on this issue that I missed....... I bought a freshly, never fired, rebuilt engine from a guy that I am now not able to contact because he is deceased, but what I paid was the value of the heads and intake alone. I put the engine in, fired...

Changing a fuel pump today and the metal middle line on my hanger (which I assume is the return) wiggles back and forth. the other 2 are solid. Is it time for a new hanger? Thanks in advance!

I will be calling you by the end of the week, if you don't mind.

The headers are nice quality, and reasonable. Luckily, I like the look of raw stainless. Right at this moment I am thinking the te44 or ta49, tt chip and 60 injectors combo , gn1 down pipe. Probably should go with a 3" dp? I am sticking with ext. waste gate though, sounds more reliable and...

Next time I will join the forum first, before I go buying crap. Thanks for all the excellent info. Yes I do believe in supporting my community , hope I didn't step on any ones toes bringing up GN1.

So what you are saying is the turbo sucks more air in then the ram air can create with pressure. That is a real bummer. I will pick up a cold air kit and test that theory, or just remove the canister at the track.

Oh yeah, and green striped injectors, what ever those are.

I bought the headers because the original was cracked near 3/4 the way around, I was told it was welded once already and it appears cracked outside of that weld. Don't want to fool around with those old things. The new headers said that they would fit with stock down pipe, but I believe now...

Hello, New member w/ an '87'. I have owned this car for a few years and ready for some upgrades. Bought GN1 performance "KB" headers and thinking about their kit that includes: 3" Down Pipe with a 46mm Wastegate, a Tubonetics Boost controller, and a custom 66 turbo featuring a .63A/R...
