SignUp Now!I recently purchased a bone stock 87 Turbo T, I would like to make some mods to it for some more power and am looking for suggestions.
If it has the original stock chip , get a new one from Turbo Tweak . The car will run better with today's fuel and a new chip. Also get a scanmaster .
Put it in the glove box if you don't like the look of it . The info it provides is invaluable.Excellent point. I replaced my crap stock chip with a TT chip and the fuel pressure regulator to an adjustable one. The TT chip needs higher fuel pressure. I would get a scanmaster but the thing is ugly with no place to hide it. Any ideas?
Get a Scanmaster G (gauge) then. Or, wire up a regular scanmaster with a cigarette lighter plug on the end of it so you can monitor when you want to, and unplug it and put it in the console when you don't.I would get a scanmaster but the thing is ugly with no place to hide it. Any ideas?
I loved my almost stock GN. Set a budget then go from there. Bone stock it should run 13.8-14.2 at 96-98 mph depending on weight and conditions, tires, track etc.
TT chip
Good 340 style walbro pump
Hotwire the fuel pump
Change Fuel filter
Adj Fuel Press regulator (chip requires it)
Mech boost gauge
Scanmaster in glovebox or G one in dual pod
Dual or trip Gauge pod that sticks to right of dash, not A pillar
Gut the stock cat
Adjustable wastegate actuator - you can take it off, cut it, thread it and make it adjustable easy enough
Valve springs if they are original, you'll float them.
Verify TPS and all sensors in spec via scanmaster.
New Denso O2 sensor.
Run it like that on pump gas, should go 13.0's at 103-104 through the stock airbox.
It will show you knock retard & O2 millivolts as a default screen so you can see knock very shortly after it happened . It also has a recall feature to check if you had any knock during a run and what your O2's were at the time of knock . It also shows most ECM parameters & trouble codes . It is very helpful in trouble shooting problems which WILL happen !What exactly does the scanmaster do?
