I've had good luck with odour absorbing things that I buy from the grocery store...

Alright, so today is my 21st birthday and I was hoping to hear some good stories about what you guys did on your 21st. Keeping in mind I live in Canada so it isn't quite as big a deal to me. My plans are that my ex is taking me out for lunch this afternoon and later tonight a girl I like...

You guys need to read the thread...

2002 C5 Coupe in Torch red, 6 spd, both roofs I would leave it N/A with headers, catback and a mild cam

There are PITA lemons from every manufacturer, Toyota included. I have never spoken with a single Vette owner who had major problems without causing it themselves. It is also misleading to say that they are always in the dealer, since many Vette owners rarely do their own maintenance. That...

Just how many gears do you think this 3-speed auto has? lol My calculations were done using the 1.00 ratio of third gear.

Interesting. Drove the car to school this morning and it didn't miss once under acceleration. I will try again during my afternoon break. I still need to build a boost leak tester.

Will do, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure. I will drive the car to school tomorrow and pay close attention so I can post a more accurate description. I know for sure that the turbo is not fully spooled but the throttle plate is fully open. I also don't believe this has ever happened under part throttle conditions.

This is true. However, if he has a powerful enough car, he may run out of gear and hit the rev limiter before the traps. That's bad MmmmKay. ;)

Spark plugs were just changed and looked great when removed. Timing is set to stocks specs. Spark plug wires are relatively new. I replaced the CPS last year with one that had perfect wiring. Not sure where to start "looking into ignition and fuel". EDIT: I wasn't sure what the car actually...

With the 3.91 ratio and the 7000 RPM redline you would top out at ~138 MPH. With the 4.10 ratio and the 7000 RPM redline you would top out at ~132 MPH. With the 4.30 ratio and the 7000 RPM redline you would top out at ~126 MPH.

Just to add to this. The car currently has an FCD. I know all about the drawbacks to this mod and plan to remove it in the near future. However, the car has run fine in the past with the FCD in place so I don't think that it is the cause of my problems now. Also, I have a Walbro sitting on my...

What are the gear ratio's for the tranny you are running?

With a tall tire and the 3 speed auto, wouldn't it be preferable to have the highest gear ratio possible? That would be the LSD 4.30.

This guy just made my ignore list...

You certainly picked two extremes on the spectrum. There is a lot of info on both the NA/T and GTE swaps into N/A chassis.

I like the new name. lol

So I've been having this problem for a while and I'm sick of it. It's time to get it fixed. The car: 13 psi on stock turbo and fuel. DDP and full exhaust. Manual boost controller. full hard pipes The problems: 1. Off idle miss. The car can idle fine at 800 rpm. If I give it a...
