    Is Alky Set-up A Necessity?

    That's good information to know. I think I will get the tune right with the parts I have ordered then look ahead to when I step it up. With regards to running low 12's previously: Yes, it was fairly easy, but I like the fact that monitoring and tuning technology is way better now then it was...

    Is Alky Set-up A Necessity?

    Thanks guys, this is the kind of info I was hoping for! Next year's plans are for a trans rebuild/upgrade and either a ported set of iron heads or if I can swing them, a set of Champion aluminum. Ugh, then comes paint, etc...etc..etc....etc. Yep, the fever is back in full effect.

    Is Alky Set-up A Necessity?

    While still running no more than 19# of boost? How much boost can you run with minimal wear to your internals with alky? I am not looking to set the world on fire with this car, just have a reasonably quicky street/cruising car that doesn't require me wrenching on it non-stop. The engine...

    Is Alky Set-up A Necessity?

    My previous TR never really reached it's potential due to marriage/kids/divorce , but seeing as my son is now 15 and I am no longer married (praise Jesus!) I can see this TR through. For the time being I will be running a stock turbo (with some mild grinding etc) to see how fast I can go on...

    Is Alky Set-up A Necessity?

    I have been out of the TR scene for about 15 years or so, but I was solidly into it from 1990 until about 2000 when my son was born and I got rid of my last TR. My TR ran a best of 12.30's (closed exhaust) with the following mods: 3" DP, 45lb injectors, Adj. FPR, TE44 turbo, ATR Pitbull chip...

    Continued restoration that my father started

    Sorry for the loss of your Dad. I'm sure he is looking down with a big smile knowing how you are taking care of his TR. My Dad is currently undergoing his 4th round of chemo, but things are not looking too good. I now have his prior GN and am bringing it back to life, hopefully in time for...

    No, perfect is not necessary paint-wise, but I would prefer it to not be dented up.

    My 1987 GN

    Thanks guys. This is the last one of ten different Turbo Ts, T Types, GNs and TTAs my father and I have owned over the years. When I got it from my father it wasn't running very well. My father was putting it back to stock after a mild build and it had a few minor problems that I had to chase...

    My 1987 GN

    Here is my 1987 GN. This was my father's car for the past 17 years. He decided to "sell" it to me after he realized he had just ran out of interest and time. He was very active on Ebay selling TR parts for many years going under the name of "jerseypoppy". He and I put this car together with the...
