Hello everyone. I need some advice/help before Sears trys to screw me. Yesterday I bought a craftsman 60 gallon 2 stage 7 HP air compressor for my garage. I wired it in using a 30 amp circuit. When I was finished I turned it on for the break in period and the motor just revved up and down...

I am having very violent wheel hop when trying to accelerate hard or do a burn out at the strip. Seems to be mostly the passenger side rear, but it is BAD. I'm running drag radials now but was having the same problem with regular street tires. Heres what I'm running: 16x8 gnx type wheels with...

Just got 2 new nitto street/drag radials in 245/50/16 mounted on 16x7 gnx type wheels. No instructions came with them of course so how do I run them at the track? What pressure do I need in them? how much of a burnout should I do? Thanks!

My scanmaster just showed a code 21 today after starting my 87 gn for the first time in about 1 month. Never had this before, is this the TPS being too high? If so what is "TOO HIGH". my maximum full throttle engine off number is showing only 4.88. with engine on full throttle number appears to...

Bought it for my wife for a work car. Looks like a good car for highway trips. Is there a forum or a good site for these cars? I would like to do some minor mods to it. Thanks

This is just a "for your information" on my project of putting a front mount intercooler on what is basically a stock 87 GN. Now I know I did not "need" a front mount (I do not need alot of things I have) but I am sure I will grow into it as time goes by. First off I have stock turbo,stock type...

Just got my front mount on so I thought I might try and improve my aerodynamics a bit. Instead of the twin air dams on my 87 gn, I thought about going with an 85 1 piece. Will this just bolt on? Dont really need all that air going under the car from the middle opening. Any nice aftermarket air...

OK I bought a precision front mount intercooler when they were on sale last year and today I started TRYING to install it (the key word is trying) on my 87 never been wrecked GN. The intercooler mounted up front easy enough but when I tried to put the up pipe on from the ic to the throttle body...

I know, I know, it's only got 200 hp and it's front wheel drive but I'm thinking of getting one for my wife to drive for a work car. Anyone have one? Anything I should be looking out for? It appears to be more of a luxury type car than performance oriented, but I do kind of like the style and...

I bought a precision turbo front mount intercooler back when they where on sale. I took it out of the box,looked good, and promptly stuck it in the back of my garage. Yesterday I was giving it a thorough going over and I found a potential problem. The smaller turbo to intercooler pipe had a few...

I finally got around to using the gm top engine cleaner yesterday. I was not really expecting much, mostly alot of smoke. Well before i used it I was getting 1.2-2.2 degrees of knock on scanmaster at part throttle at low speed (part throttle being about 1/4-1/2). I was thinking maybe i had a...

If so, how in the world do you get the magazines apart? The baseplate has a stamped in notch that won't allow the plate to slide off. Whats the secret?

First off HAPPY NEW YEAR to all you turbo types. I am looking for the gnx type stick on decals for the transam wheel center caps. 2 of mine fell off and now I need 2 new ones. Kirban has taken them out of his catalog so can anyone steer me in the right direction? Any help will be greatly...

hI gang, Just wanted to introduce myself. Im a long time peeper, uh I mean lurcker. I have an 87 GN and have owned it about 3 years. Prior to that I had an 87 GN that was borrowed at 300 am by car thieves. I had it for 9 years. This is a great forum with many knowledgeable people and i am...
