Hey ya'll,  Been on the "other" board for a while...looks like i'm going to like it here!   :cheers:


Just got back into the TR world.  About 3 months ago I bought my old highschool guy back from the guy I sold it to 10 years ago.  Been painted and done nicely since then...he's a body shop manager so he did all the work.  It's a 87 hardtop GN with a TE44 turbo and supporting mods with a Scanmaster for tuning.  I bought a PLX WB and hoping to get the powerlogger soon so steve, earl, and some of you other pros can check out my runs. 


Happy Boosting!

It's already got a TE44 so all we gotta do is figure out what the widest tires will fit on stock rims and pick out a BOV  :D



oh, and the best aftermarket headers

I like Hooker headders because it's yet another reason to use the word 'hooker' in a sentence.

Another word I like as it gives yet another reason to use the phrase 'doggie style' in a sentence.

When using 'blow' in a sentence, I'm more of a blow on kinda recipient than a blow off :)

What's that weird sound after I let off the gas while in the boost. 


If I put on all these parts do I have to upgrade the stock injectors?
Title: Re: New here
Post by: earlbrown on August 19 2013, 07:07:01 PM
I don't give a shit about upgrades I want my car to stay bone stock, chip and all.



oh yeah, and I want to run 27.525 pounds of boost.

128 + or - 3 is fine... If you're using a maf translator try adjusting idle settings...

You really should post the actual blm since it would determine your course of action. ...
