    Anyone thinking about buying a car! READ THIS!

    I'm in central Texas, and usually travelling to Either Dallas or Corpus so that covers most of the corridor if anyone needs pics.

    Looking for an 86/87 - 11.0's daily driver with A/C

    Begining my search for another T-type or GN to use as a fun daily driver. I sold my old T and regret it. I've looked over a bunch of them on the board, and what I'm looking for doesn't seem too far fetched. Price range is negotiable depending on condition and how well it meets my needs but I...

    This thing is SLOOOOWWW!

    I looked at the fins, and none appear damaged, other than normal wear with some tiny dings on the edges. Nothing I would worry about. There is a small gap where the housing widens out a bit between the fin and the housing, but not sure if that is supposed to be there, or if that was because the...

    I don't think the tranny is slipping. The turbo has about .060 end play on it, and I can't tell if it has ever hit the housing. Doesn't smoke or anything, but funny, my engine and turbo both have over 155k also. Maybe it's just tired. Instead of trying to get the fuel down to work with the...

    This thing is SLOOOOWWW!

    Update: Ok, so I've decided that I'm running too much fuel down the track, but even with no alky and boost at only 15# with 93/110 mix and 0 KR, I can only get a best of 14.5 at 98MPH with a '60ft of 2.4 with Drag Radials. It feels fine, doesn't miss or pop, just seems a bit slow off the...

    Yeah, I know..I've run out of room for gauges at the moment, but plan on resolving that shortly. I'm a firm believer that EGT is the best way to tune anything. It's amazing what you can do on a dyno with EGT tuning.

    Thanks Quick, and all the rest that are helping me address the issue. We all know how touchy these cars can be. I'm going to work on getting an alky chip with the new turbo (which will probably be soon if I sell my 4-speed). For now I'm going to just run 14# and tune it. I have been racing...

    Thanks Dr. Obvious lol..j/k. I'm with you, this thing should be running 13.'s. I'll try pulling the alky kit and some FP and see where it goes from there. I also have another chip for the 009's that I'm going to try. How would I adjust for low BLMs at idle or does it really matter?

    I've been driving the car for about 3 weeks now. If the cam sensor was 180 out I'm pretty sure I would know it. I've heard that it will run, but will run like arse popping missing and backfiring (Let me know if I'm wrong). ;). I performed the "Spring Cleaning" recently. Not sure about the EGR...

    Low 800's. You may be right about running rich. I've suspected that it's been running a tad rich. BLM's at idle are around 95-100. Not sure how to adjust that, it was running like that with the stock injectors and fuel pump. I reset the cam sensor like 3 times per instructions on gnttype.org...
