    Powerlogger for measuring performance gains?

    I don't have my powerlogger open, so my question may be easily answered if I was but, I've a beautiful day here, a few new upgrades that I'd like to get dialed in, and my local track closed due to Covid-19. I do however have some desolate roads, a new oxygen sensor that addressed a whacky AFR...

    New Laptop , strange AFR readings

    Could some of the more experienced tuners take a look at this screen shot 30-70 mph run New 6766 turbo, 25psi, and what I think was a little wheel spin Replaced my laptop, which had always shown a little over 11:1 AFR but now I am showing an over 14:1 AFR. I also am assuming that the reading is...

    Talk me into / out of going SD2

    Presently running a 6.1 TT chip and am happy with the performance. A recent turbo upgrade that has me upgrading my intake pipe, MAF, chip and injectors has now made moving to an SD2 chip a timely upgrade if I were ever to do it.

    How does the Turbonetics exhaust housing fit into the equation?

    A lot of talk, both positive and negative, on a the effect of a smaller exhaust housing. Particularly different brands which are similarly listed as the same size. How does the Turbonetics exhaust housing stack up to the Garret and Precision?

    Most common reasons for boost to be limited to 15 psi ?

    I recently replaced my water pump, thermostat and radiator. Running great (and cool) but admittedly not a lot of driving around due to a hectic few weeks. Took her out last night and she didn't seem to have the same top end. Watched my mechanical boost gauge and see she is topping out at 15lbs...

    Running Warm part 2 (problem solved but might as well upgrade?)

    I'd like to first thank those who answered my "running warm" thread. I was able to fix my dual fans not coming on by cleaning and replacing the relays and cleaning up the grounds. The fans are now coming on at 167 degrees and staying on until the temps dip into the 165 range and do it over and...

    Running warm

    I KNOW that I am asking for the impossible with as little info as I can provide but figured I would ask anyway. Recently my T has been running warm at over 200 degrees. She never really ran over 180ish before. Oil and coolant levels are fine so I haven't started chasing a blown head gasket and...

    Any bodywork experts here?

    Well , after 30 years of driving in NJ, I had my first encounter with a kamikaze deer at about 20 mph. Of course it happens when I'm driving my TR. What are my best options for quarter panel and header panel replacement? Craigslist and used classified or is there a company that makes quality...

    Stageright trans brake issue??

    I'm in the process of installing a Stageright trans brake. The manual valve that comes in the kit (the one that replaces the stock one), doesn't move freely in the valve body. Dare I say, it seems to be binding. I filled the portion of the valve body that it slides in with trans fluid, and it...

    Decarbing ?

    Does anyone go through the trouble of decarbing their engines? My most recent engine experience was working on 2 stroke outboards where decarbing was not only part of our service procedure but proven effective by comparison to non decarbed engines. Would an functioning alcohol system provide...

    Nitto 555 vs Mickey Thompson ET street

    The time has come (actually passed) for a new set of rear tires. I purchased my Buick with Nitto 275 60 15s and they were probably past their useful life although there was tread left. She could break the tires loose at 40 mph. I've gotten glowing reviews about the MTs but also have a connection...

    Progression of knock reduction solutions

    is there a standard operating procedure for dealing with detonation on a forced induction engine? I've purchased a very capable 1987 Turbo T and have just begun to stretch her legs. I'd like to start raising boost but not sure how to deal with any knock. In other words, if I raise psi from 18...
