    Original Road Test from Turbo and Hi-Tech Magazine link

    Hey all, In the process of putting information about my TTA online to assist with its sale I've posted all of the pages from Turbo and Hi-Tech Performance with the original road test and dyno session. I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, so I thought it may be of interest to everyone...

    Spark Blowout on Alky - What Gap are you running?

    OK after slacking for some time I finally put the PAC in the car. I've never run higher than 17PSI or so before, and while tuning the system this weekend I'm hitting a bit of a wall around 20PSI. Car falls flat on its face, feels like typical lack of spark (O2's are ok, no knock, plugs look...

    Is the THDP for the TTA supposed to have a O2 bung?

    I recently got one from John's Performance, and there's no bung, and I'm wondering if this is normal, an oversight (it was drop shipped from TH directly), or an extra I should have asked for. ?

    History Channel Airing Trans Am Show

    I guess they made a show in '95 with the complete history of the trans am. I was flipping channels this morning and came across the end of the show, and they have a section about the TTA and some footage from Indy. They speak very kindly about the car ;-) You can order the car from the history...

    Rear Hatch Unit Pulldown Guides... Where?

    On the motorized unit that pulls the trunk down, there are plastic guide pieces that ride in the rails. The rails are bolted to the frame of the car. The parts guy says they aren't available alone, and the unit is $450, right. Does anyone know where to get these in the aftermarket? Mine are...

    Post your links to GN/TTA dyno charts!

    I've been scouring the net looking for GN/TTA dyno charts (or dyno videos) and haven't come up with much. If you have a link, by all means post it! Any other info about the build and type of gas used would be great. :D

    Car cutting out after 40 minutes of driving. Ign Module?

    I'm having an issue with my TTA. After driving for about 40 minutes the car starts to cut out. It feels like ignition, not fuel. Basically, I'm just cruising along at 70 or so at light, steady throttle, and then it starts to cut out and then come back. If I tip into the throttle more it only...

    What intercooler options exist for the TTA?

    Just wondering what the compatibility of the GN and TTA intercoolers are as far as the aftermarket options go. Otherwise, I'm assuming you can weld on the duttweiler neck to the TTA intercooler. I know that CAS makes one specific to the TTA, but from the extensive complaints about service...

    At what HP/TQ point do you start to worry about the bottom end?

    Aside from beating up on the motor through detonation, at what point do you really start to worry about the bottom end? I've been looking through the archives and haven't really found anything compiled on the subject. It would be nice to have a blueprint of the different bottom end failure...

    Bouncing tach fixes.

    Today I noticed that my tach was bouncing around during a WOT run in third gear. Usually I'd suspect plugs or wires, but I've recently (a month ago) replaced both with KB wires and fresh plugs gapped at .033 (tight). I haven't had the TTA for all that long, but I've been poking through the...

    "Turbo Six Tuner" versus "Tunercat" chip tuning software...

    I am interested in tweaking my own chips, and I've been looking at both of these packages, and was wondering if anyone with experience with either of these could chime up and state what they like about it, don't like, etc. Particularly, is there anything that you can't do with either package...

    Car is faster in OD than D, wtf...

    OK so a few months ago I purchased a TTA, and I've never been in any other car with this tranny, so I don't know exactly how it should feel. In any case, I'm working out the bugs in the car and I have a sneaking suspicion that something is awry with the tranny. If I have it in D at 65 and...

    Best exhaust to match up with a THDP?

    I need to replace the downpipe/exhaust system on my car (car pretty new to me, and previous owner *hacked* in a couple of sections of pipe to put in a cat. It's too small, and it's welded in, making the downpipe and exhaust one piece! They cut it apart to do the job, so trust me when I say it's...

    "Clunk" when tranny warms up...

    When the car/tranny is cold, if I put it into R and then D there isn't any driveline lash, it feels smooth. If I go drive around for awhile (20 minutes) and do the same thing, there's a bit of a whirring sound and then a clunk/clang as it switches between the two gears. I'm trying to nail...

    Doing some homework for my new TTA

    Just drove my "new to me" TTA home this weekend. Been trolling the board and doing research for some time now, but looking to see what you all recommend for this specific combo. The car has 45k miles, a TA49, Blue Top injectors, KB wires, fresh R42TLS plugs gapped at .033, fresh fuel filter...

    Looking for a TTA

    Trying to find a decent TTA to purchase. If you have one or know of one that's straight, send me a message please. Straight car with blown motor/trans is fine too ;-)
