    TR Parts For Sale In Houston

    I'm in the Houston area and I've got a lot of misc. TR parts for sale. I was pretty deep in these things in the late 90's and parted out a few cars, dug through junkyards, bought other people's left over parts, etc. No real speed parts, but lots of original parts and NOS stuff I picked up. I've...

    Buick Century Turbo

    I found a 1980 4-door Century Limited w/Turbo. Anyone know the production numbers for the 4-door? I found a total of 2013 (?) turbo Century's produced, but that includes the Sport Coupes.

    More Propane Dyno Fun

    You can't really make out any numbers on the graph. I think I was the first printout with new software for these guys and the format was way off. The guy running the dyno was real concerned with these numbers and we were tuning the car for the base runs based on these graphs. We got to a point...

    More Propane Dyno Fun

    I guess I didn't understand your question:). There is an air/fuel ratio graph on the bottom of the dyno sheet (I think that's what it is) based on a reading from a sensor in the exhaust pipe. The dyno guy was pretty concerned with it, but I was using Turbolink readings. I thought you were...

    More Propane Dyno Fun

    I will be sending the Turbolink files and dyno sheets to Jay in the next couple of days. I'm not sure you can find the propane "on" point (17 lbs of boost) on anything I have though.

    More Propane Dyno Fun

    Jay pretty much summed it up, but to be specific, the HP went from 282.4 to 326.8 and the torque from 333.9 to 403.5. My setup is stock 100,000 mile long block, NEW valve springs (problem from previous dyno runs), PT-51, 50 lb injectors, THDP, big neck intercooler. Consistant mid 12 second...

    Propane Dyno Results

    I really hate to post ET's when discussing my propane testing because I never worked on getting good launches. My 60' times were usually about 2/10th's slower than my best efforts during track testing. With that said, I can run pretty consistant 12.40's at around 106 MPH with propane. I think...

    What kind of pressure are you getting with your Propane?

    The bulk of it was done last summer in Houston. I took the bottle pressure for granted back then, running as high as 140 psi. In the fall the pressure started dropping as it cooled off. I will be doing the dyno runs at 120 psi which is easily atainable for me in the summer and with a bottle...

    What kind of pressure are you getting with your Propane?

    Define "that" cold. I'll bet I got at least 60 runs and lots of street driving before my bottle pressure dropped due to low volume. Keep track of the ambient temperture vs. bottle pressure.

    Propane Dyno Results

    On my car I see the kind of HP increases (based on MPH at the track) you mention when I go from lower boost, pump gas and a street chip to higher boost, race gas and a race chip. I did this testing with a 93 octane street chip and changed nothing from the non-propane base run except boost. I was...

    Propane sputter

    I think your tank pressure is good if you can maintain that. You probably are having it come on too soon. With smaller jets than I am currently running, I had the propane come on that low on my TR with no problems. I am running a big jet and having it come on around 15 lbs of boost. Like...

    What kind of pressure are you getting with your Propane?

    I did most of my testing during the summer in Texas. Most of my runs were with the pressure between 120 and 140 lbs. I think we started at 100. Since it has gotten colder I have noticed more variations in performance and tank pressure. My recent dyno runs were made at 120 lbs. I was able to...

    Propane Dyno Results

    I did some back to back dyno runs today with the Jay Carter prototype propane kit I have been running. The car would not make power over 4400 RPM due to some unrelated issues, so neither run was optimum. Both runs were with 93 octane pump gas, Jay Carter 93 octane street chip. Only difference...

    Propane

    All my testing/comparisons are based on pump gas and a street chip. I made it where the only variable was the addition of propane. I tried a Variable Timing chip and saw no gains and a race chip was too much. I have a chip that Jay just made for me that is specific for propane, but have not...

    Propane

    I am running a Jay Carter 93 octane street chip. WITHOUT propane, I can run 17 lbs of boost with Turbolink showing "0" knock counts using this chip. WITH propane, 24 lbs of boost with "0" knock counts. I tried a JC Variable Timing chip (which I used to run at 20 lbs of boost before I added...

    Propane

    I have never run alcohol, so I cannot compare the two performance wise. I don't know what it feels like when alcohol injection gets activated, but I can tell you that Jay's propane kit can be tuned to where you cannot feel it's activation point. I had to install an LED light to the pressure...

    Propane

    I have had the second prototype kit that Jay did on my car for a little over 8 months now. I just refilled the tank last week ($6) after between 60 and 80 passes of strip and street testing. The car is also driven on the street a couple of times a week with the tank on. We have tried lots of...
