    Fuel line question

    If... you do go with ss braided hose, I recommend the teflon-lined hose. I made the mistake of replacing the fuel line (on another car) with non-teflon lined. Believe it or not, the hose smelled like gas. It wasn't just in one spot, it was the whole length of the hose. This was...

    Won't build boost

    One thing is the waste gate puck may not be closing on the waste gate hole in the turbo housing. Whenever I change turbos, I have to make sure the waste gate is closing all the way. Usually it doesn't and I have to loosen the down pipe bolts and move it around until it feels like it is...

    Powerlogger install from memory stick?

    Anyone ever copy the Powerlogger install to a memory stick and install from the memory stick? Considering getting one of the mini-pc's with no CD and wondering if that would work.

    what oil pressure to turbo?

    Do you still have the stock turbo and the breather connection from the ps side valve cover to the turbo? You can put a breather in the valve cover and cap the connection on the turbo because this is a source of oil getting into the intake. I wouldn't restrict oil to a non-BB turbo since...

    TTA w/ 6262 install

    I'd be interested to know your impressions of the 6262 turbo and what turbo you have previous to this one. In mid-install with one of these. (BB version) Thanks.

    T56 6 Speed

    I would think the problem would be boost falling off between shifts, unless you are power shifting. Ball bearing turbo might help this. I remember seeing Porsche Turbo race cars run once. They had no turbo lag between shifts. Of course, they were running a lot of rpm so lag wasn't a...

    6.0 turbo tweak chip

    I have been running Eric's 6.0 for a couple of months on the street. The default values for afr targets have been fine so far. Haven't registered any knock yet with pump gas and alcohol. The default WOT afr values for gears 1-2 and 3-4 is 10.8. The mid-boost afr default is 11.5 . I am...

    TurboLink -Duty Cycle-

    I had TL version 4.05 and it didn't. At least if it did I never saw it.

    how long have you owned your Turbo Buick?

    Purchased my '87 T in November, 1986. The Buick dealer had two T's with identical options. One was dark blue and one silver, the one I bought. (Can't remember if he had any GN's.) There was a new car show at the civic center that weekend and he wanted to put the silver one in the show. Of...

    12.1 @ 108 video

    I think the alchy pump turns on around 5# boost, then increases speed as boost increases. For the purpose I was thinking about of spooling the turbo, it may not even be necessary to run it wet. For a momentary 50-75 shot, I may be able to run it dry. If I need to, I could increase the...

    12.1 @ 108 video

    Stock converter/turbo and 1.64 sixty foot is great. I have been wondering myself if you could 't' off of the alchy system for a 50-75 hp wet nitrous system. The problem I see is there would be a delay from when the alcohol pump comes on and reaches full pressure, unlike using the...

    HR Parts Motor Mounts

    At first, I replaced only the driver's side with the earlier harder compound HR Parts was producing at the time. Then I realized that the passenger side had bent/deformed and the downpipe was getting too close to the inner fender, so I replaced them both with the later softer compound. I...

    Talk me into installing a progressive alcohol injection kit on my car...

    I had an old on-off alcohol system for a few years, and it worked well. But the progressive alchy systems are much better. I recently installed the Alchy Control kit. It is adjustable and increases alcohol based on boost. The nozzle on the old kit was for nitrous. The nozzle on the new kit...

    Erics 6.0 chip

    Eric's 6.0 chip requires Powerlogger, and can use wb02 input. You still use the MAF with the 6.0. I have this one on order, having just gotten wb02 working. I would be interested to know if anyone has any track experience with this chip. His most recent chip is the SD (speed density)...
