    GN won't turn over

    I tried to start the GN yesterday, it cranked once and then nothing. I put the battery on the charger over night and still nothing. I bought a new battery and it won't turn over either. The dome light comes on but nothing. Not even a click fron the solinoid. Is there a fusable link to the...

    MAP sensor operating specs

    Does anyone know what is the signal voltage from the MAP sensor? I'm toying with the idea of using one from a TTA to build an elecronic boost controller. I need the voltages for 16 to 22 lbs. I'm hopeing somebody has some type of scan tool that will record these readings. Thanks. Todd

    Went to track tonight, had fuel pressure troubles.

    Took the GN out to the track tonight and I couldn't keep the FP set. I made my first run, and about 1/2 way down the track the car just lost power. When I got back in line, the first thing I checked was my fuel pressure. It was a paltry 36#. Now I had it set at 45#. How could it drop so much? I...

    Oil leak while under boost

    This is really starting to drive me nuts, not that it would take much.:eek: When I get on the boost, it starts blowing smoke. The smoke is coming from under the car and getting on the crossover pipe. I changed the rear main seal and the oil pan gasket. Everything seemed alright for awhile...

    wtf? low boost

    Here's the poop. I was playing around with getting my "Grainger" relief valve to work for boost control. I lenghtened the WG rod to keep it from over boosting. Kept shortning the valve to get the boost at a steady 17/18#. And everything seemed to be going great . (BTW, I had it set up as basic...

    Helpful Hint

    I installed a new rear seal today. Getting the oil pan back on with the gasket was a pain. The gasket kept falling off into the pan. so after about an hour of this it hit me to zip tie (wire strap) the gasket onto the pan. I did the 4 corners and 2 about half way up and the front one. The gasket...

    What's the best rear main seal??

    I'm going to change out my rear seal out tomorrow. The Advanced Auto guy said they had a rope seal and a rubber one. Is there a better seal out there that will hold up long ? I figure the rubber one would be best. Just wondering which one to go with, and if anyone hed the PN#. Thanks
