    new maf and translator, rich at idle or is it?

    A BLM at 125 is not bad, the ECU is pulling alittle fuel to hit it's target. If all your other settings like Fuel Pressure are good I would say drive it. How do the BLM's look beyond the idle cell? Are you looking at BLM's on a scanmaster or Powerlogger? I like to see all the cells in...

    Need some advice on Turbo/Converter for a 100% Street driven car

    You can push that stock turbo above 20 psi, it will make a ton of torque and with a manual boost controller and an adjustable wastegate it will be very responsive. The stock turbo will make more than enough steam to take out a stock transmission. If a tranny rebuild isn't in the budget nor...

    Need some advice on Turbo/Converter for a 100% Street driven car

    If your transmission is bone stock your going to be limited on how much power you can make with it before it gives up. If you have the stock valve springs in there, those need upgraded too. 20+ psi on a stock motor, stock turbo and stock converter is a whole different animal to drive than a...

    Need some advice on Turbo/Converter for a 100% Street driven car

    I assume your on the stock turbo now? If so how hard have you pushed it? If your ar stock boost on the stock turbo I would just install the new parts you have and with the Alky max out that stock turbo and see how you like it. It might surprise you.

    High Torque mini starters

    In addition to whats been mentioned, if your still on the original battery cables make sure to inspect them for corrosion and how clean the connections are. Don't forget to check battery cable grounds as well. Your starter uses the engine block for its ground. Corrosion between the starter...

    AXIS ?

    While I cannot answer your exact question regarding all the benefits of the 512 gr/sec measurement capabilities of the Axis, I do run the Axis on both of my cars, but I push the 86 GN much harder. I can run anywhere from 18 psi (as low as my HD WG will go) to the max the turbo will give me...

    Help with random jerking during cruise

    Stock MAF or modern MAF with a translator? How old are the spark plug wires? If the are getting some age on them look for cracks or burnt spots on the wires and boots. Also, what is the age of the ignition coil?

    Starting when warmed up paranoia

    If your fuel pressure is at 43 psi the entire time the engine is cranking then fuel should not be the issue.

    Starting when warmed up paranoia

    Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? That would tell you if fuel pressure is present while cranking.

    Starting when warmed up paranoia

    How old is are the ignition components (coil, ignition module) Heat soak can cause issues on those items if they are getting weak. What spark plugs and what are they gapped at?

    "Fueling Issue"

    I have a spectra tank in my 86 GN and I only encounter the filling issues you mentioned one in a while at certain pumps. Now my 87 WE4 has a prestine stock tank and it is definitely more difficult to fill. A good stock tanks baffling/fuel bucket is far superior to the Spectra.
