    Another thumbs up for Razor!!!!!

    I finished the install of Julio's ALKY kit and it is awesome!!!! I am only running 20 psi right now and I can't hook my 87 GN in first or second gear with my street tires. The alky chip from turbotweak works perfectly and the car now runs as smooth as it did when new. (I am the original owner)...

    After car heats up, it runs bad and stalls??

    After running on the highway for about 30 minutes, my 87 GN will start to make a funky whiney noise from the engine. It will get progressively louder for about 10 seconds then the car starts to run rough, buck, like it is running out of fuel. It will backfire and it has actually stalled. After...

    TQ is locking at very low speed?????

    My 136K mile GN has been acting funny lately...... The trans will appear to lock up the converter from just leaving from a stop..... like it shifts into 2nd and the converter is locked... then it hits 3rd very quick and the rpm's are very,very low... like around 1,000rpm or just off idle...

    I was hoping the crank sensor was bad but it looked fine.... I bought a new one just in case and did not install it as I pulled the drivers side valve cover and noticed the rear cylinder had a very loose rocker arm. It was the second to last from the rear so I can't remember if it was an intake...

    I need help!! had to tow car home.....

    I was driving my 87GN easy on the highway and heard a ticking sound. It would change with rpm and I thought I had broke a rocker arm and itwasmaking the noise. I was not sure where the noise was coming from but it was not a deep rod knock at all. It sounded like valvetrain noise and the car felt...

    I have been thinking about upgrading my stock turbo on my 1 owner 87 GN... I had it replaced under warranty at 58K miles and I have about 65K miles on the replacement.
