I'm located in Texas (just outside of Houston). I have a friend with a TTA and one of my next things will be to go borrow his coil and module. John its my bad on the coil pair. It was the pair of cylinders on the coil on the driver side. I do have the diagram for the coil wiring, and you are...

Just recently got the car back together. Been having issues with the car just not running right. I have a pressure gauge on the rail, and fuel pressure is fine. First I checked the header tubes with a temp gun and noticed #2 and #6 were colder at idle by about 200 degrees so I figured that...

The site search keeps generating errors. I had seen reference to his fittings but couldn't find the thread.

I am in the process of re-installing the engine on the GN. It has a BGC intake with the AL rails that came with the intake. It has an Accufab regulator and the old o-ring going into the rail tore. I picked up a variety pack of Viton o-rings and couldn't get it to seal. I have seen threads on...

Thanks Rob, let me think about that.

I had a typo, my converter had a 0 pump, and was upgraded to a #6 pump. I'll find out where it stalls once the car is back together, and make a decision then on what to do with the converter. I appreciate everyone's input.

Howdy, Its been quite some time since I posted, after 10 years of driving, the last combo was worn out and needed a refresh. The car has been apart for 2 years, and I should have the motor ready in the next week or so. My question in htis section was to discuss my current turbo and the best...

Bison - As with any topic you will get folks on both sides of just about any issue. I know several shops who had good realations with Comp and have moved over to other grinders related to the issues they have been having. I know of one shop in particular who has replaced 60 comp cams. All...

earlbrown, one other thing. I would have to disagree with this. I think it is a common misconception that turbo motors "don't care" about heads and cams. I would argue exactly the opposite it s true. A more efficient cylinder head will show greater gains on a turbo motor over an N/A combo...

Here is what I mean Here is my 212/206 109+5 ATR cam vs a 218/212 112 Comp ___________________________________________ 0.006 __ 0.050 __ Intake Duration - ID_______________________ 269 __ 218 __ Exhaust Duration - ED______________________ 264 __ 212 __ Lobe Center Angle - LCA (also known as...

Earlbrown - my point was that most TR grinds in the past were what would be called a reverse split (intake biased). These days I see that they have gone the other way (exhaust biased). I also see that the cams are typically running a wider LSA. I was simply asking about what folks had...

Thanks for the replies. earlbrown - As for as static compression, the old combo was stock stroke with a set of JE pistons on stock rods. I don't remember exactly what static was at that time. For this round I am doing a GN1 Performance stroker kit as part of the rebuild. I need to CC the...

Howdy, Well, after 12 years I need to freshen up the motor in our GN. I was looking over the current Hyd roller cam, and it is starting to wear on the nose of #1 intake and exhaust, so I need to come up with a new camshaft. I haven't been keeping tabs on what curent "hot ticket" is with...

Thank you Mike. After looking over a picture of the original flexplate that was sent over to me I can see what you are referring to with the asymetic pattern of the holes in the flexplate. Thanks for your help.

We just pulled the transmission on ou car and the flexplate is cracked in several places. In looking over the forum everyone seems to recommed a JW flexplate to replace the stocker. But, in reading, most people say the factory flexplate is externally balanced, and to order an externally...
