    Map sensor no longer reads 100 kpa with key on

    So my 87 Turbo T has this really strange issue at the moment that has been going on for a few years. I installed a set of Intrepid Fans and the Dual Relay wiring kit in the car a while back and it seems that the issue may be related to the fan system, What happens basically is the car runs...

    Spoolfool's new Drip-Lip, oil leak catch thingy.

    Just a Update: Installed the Drip lip this morning, my car has a stock crossover and I had too loosen the bolts to get it in position. Then I realized it needed to be trimmed to clear my RJC engine brace but other then that no issues! I'll report back if it catches my oil drip and crossover smell.

    4th Gear

    How usable is fourth gear? I've heard from different people that you cant really use fourth gear at all for WOT as it only has two clutches and can slip. Has anyone built a trans that can run hard into fourth? What kind of power level can fourth handle?

    Gbody parts TV cable

    I had to throw the gbodyparts TV cable in the trash as it was not the correct length and would not stay in the bracket. Very disappointing I sanded my stock one down and looked it over and found a hairline crack.. I used JB weld plastic epoxy and it sealed the crack. I'm letting it sit overnight...

    Trans not down shifting out of overdrive.

    if the TCC solenoid is not working properly your Torque converter can remained locked. It's a simple part to replace but requires you to drop the pan. You can test this theory by unplugging your black connector on the driver side of the trans and take the car for a spin and see how it feels...

    Gbody parts TV cable

    Thanks Steve , I pulled my cable out and it looks like the Grommet is the actual suspect. Its hard to judge from pictures I took but once I took it out and had it in hand it was not cracked. I think it just needs a clean up and re torque with a new grommet.

    Janis Transmission

    Just dropped my 2004R at Vince's shop for his stage 1 build , I'm very excited as my car has never really had a good trans setup. Anyone running his stage one? He showed me about 10 200's on the go. Drove it down from Toronto Ontario to get the expertise on it!

    Running Super lean at idle

    I also swapped out my Ignition and coil pack for a good know pack and the problem is consistent, A interesting thought someone had was that maybe the fan wiring grounds out all the circuit properly and when it kicks off the wiring might not be grounded if that makes any sense? I will check my...
