Hi Jim, Is there a group of guys in the area that own GN's/TR's and get together once in a while or talk to each other? I bought my uncles car last year and got it running after sitting in his garage for 13 years. It needed a complete fuel system, tank to TT 42 lb injectors and TT chip. Had the...

Hi Gottlieb, I'm in Kemptville and slowly learning my way around tuning mine. I've owned my 87 TR for just over a year. I got great help from Steve Wood's site Vortex Buicks http://www.vortexbuicks-etc.com. The biggest piece of advice I found was to install a powerlogger in the ECM to see what...

Hi Claude, Glad to meet you. That's a wicked quick GN you have. Hi MAP 87, Where have you done the 1/4 mile runs? I go to the cruise nights in Kemptville once in a while and try to go on the monthly road trips to other cruise nights in the area. I'm a member of the Highway 43 car club and...

Does anyone know of a supplier for the exhaust manifold heat shields? I have a 1987 Regal T and the shields have rusted somewhat and are rattling. Really annoying to say the least. I've been all over the net and can't find a thing on them. Lots of turbo shields though. Hope someone can help out.

I am installing a new gas tank and one of the insulators has a taper along its length about 14" to 18" long and is a firmer material. Does anyone know which side of the tank it gets installed on? Does it matter? I also can't figure out why.

I learned 3 things today. Where the vacuum reservoir ball and the emissions canister were, AND what they look like. I found the canister vacuum line under the AC hoses. I wasn't even looking there. I also now know which sensor is the MAP sensor. The last engine I worked on had a carburetor...

Thanks pacecarta. Big help.:-)

Thanks pacecarta. You pointed out something I missed. The red line in my diagram goes to the vacuum reservoir ball that I thought was the canister. I don't have cruise control. The red line in my diagram is routed along the driver fender and along the firewall to the funnel shaped device with a...

Thanks Dynoman. That last post was from my phone and Fat Finger Syndrome happened. The gntype diagram is the one that raised my questions. If I connect the canister line to the vacuum block pipe as the diagram shows, then I don't know what gets connected to the funnel shaped T (I assume it's a...

Thanks dynoman. I have that diagram. That

Thanks Keith. There's a Racetronix fuel line kit on the car so I will leave the old pipe as is. Thanks guys. Once you told me what it was, it made sense. I thought the connector was further back so that didn't dawn on me.

I have some questions that I hope someone out there can answer. The vacuum line to the canister (under the air filter) is in the wrong place at the firewall (I think). I made a diagram below and it is red. Should I remove it from the T in my diagram and re-connect it to the proper metal pipe...

I just came across what looks like a hydraulic pipe and don't know what it is for or why it's not connected. Does anyone know what it is for and where it goes? It's located below the AC compressor and runs across the cross-member with 2 other pipes, one being the front right brake line. Can I...

Thanks broke. I wasn't even in the ballpark. Now it makes sense.

Can anyone tell me how this support is installed? I left it on the upper rad hose when I took it off the intake manifold. Now I can't figure out how it goes back on. I am putting things back together and this one escapes me.

Hello turbofabricator. I just noticed the "like" you gave me. thanks. I got my heads back and the shop that did it (D and D Performance in Chesterville Ontario) is working in another turbo engine and are doing work on some aluminum heads and installing an RJC Girdle. They have a great...

I'm humbled by both of you. I have been given some insight into your character and will remember this. In time, I too may be able to answer questions as you have done. I'm glad to have met you. Thanks

Thanks Shadow and all the others for the help. Much appreciated.
