Re: Planning ahead... Questions, How much $$$ does the propshaft run, and how does it improve over the original... just more strength or does it add more performance? And what TC? 3000 stall would be my intial thought. And tuning kinda goes without saying.

Well, I'm starting to plan ahead a little bit on some future modifications. For the most part, to see about where I stand with what I think I need. For reference, I want to do a mild upgrade, still driveable daily if needed but able to go strong when I want it to. I want just enough...

Re: Arrg... now overboost? Stock POS guage... I know I can't rely on it... all it is good for is it moves if the turbo is working. And yes I've adjusted the rod several times to get it right. It's slightly out further than recommended, but no more than a turn or two.

Re: Arrg... now overboost? Unfortuneately, I don't. I'm waiting on the chelsea meet next month to hook it up to one. really wish there was a mac version... I don't own a PC laptop.

Okay, if you've read my posts before, I've been having problems with poor boost and slow spooling. I've been tweaking everything and I'm finally getting reliable boost, still a slow spool, but it has gotten better. Now the bad news, I'm finally getting full-boost and once I hit top boost, I...

Re: well, it happened... the legend prevented a race. I've only met a few people that actually know what a typhoon is. They have always just looked at my truck, smiled a big silly smile, and let me pass. And I've even seen a few ricers that knew what it was, of course they are never able to...

School is out and it seems that everyone with a drivers licence has stolen their dad's car to race something at every light. Best one of 'em all though, some kid(18 at best) took his dad's dodge srt10(I think that's it... the ram w/ the viper motor). Anyway, he revs up and whatnot, and eggs me...

Re: Colored wax and chip fixes Thanks for the advice on the shop, and yes, I know a good painter(he's working on my other car right now actually, hence the reason I can't afford it at the moment). Anyway, I'm not that worried about the roof when it comes to a 100%match, I just want it...

This is kind of a poll... looking to see who has had good/bad luck with different waxes, polishes and other chip fixes. I've got a black/black 93 typhoon that has been in the sun a bit too long... roof is faded, and it has several chips and defects in the paint. Looking for a "quick fix" to...

Re: Michigan Meet at Island Lake ***6/26/05*** I'll put in a maybe on this. Still have a few things going on with the truck, drive around town everyday... but I don't trust it on the highway as of yet

Re: Sprung a leak I checked the pressure, didn't seem too low or too high, read on the high side of the "green"... I thinks thats about 25... really don't quote me on that, I don't usually bother to read the numbers unless it's outside of the "average" band on my guage. Just in case, what is...

Re: Sprung a leak I've tried looking everything over, and can't find anything. I still get a bit of the hot coolant aroma, but I haven't had it visably leak again since I posted. I can't even see any signs that it ever leaked, so it could be so slow that it's getting burned off before it can...

Just noticed this. Been smelling coolant for a while now, which isn't a big deal, I'm used to smelling "hot engine", so didn't take notice. But today I see I've got a leak on my radiator, I think it's the lower. Can't be leaking that much since my coolant level is good, but it's got a droplet...

Re: Newbie, but I'm dead serious Looks a bit worn, but considering the miles, I guess it's no worse than the average car. I'm just used to seeing 100k trucks that still look new. As to some of your interior peices not fitting right, that isn't uncommon. Things rattle loose all the time, I...

Re: Turbo guage Oops, almost forgot, Turbodog, did you replace the solenoid with a new stock, or an aftermarket version?

Re: Turbo guage I'll probably try replacing the solenoid, since it cheap and easy to do, might as well. I have gone over my truck with a fine toothed comb looking for leaks, found a couple and quickly replaced almost all of my tubing and re-connected the rest with new fasteners... haven't...

Well, I've been trying to pinpoint a turbo issue for a little while now, and am now starting to think that it's the guage. It says I'm only getting 10-12psi, but if there is a performance issue, I don't see it(other than my comparitavely slow spool, but I think that's just how she is). I mean...

Re: Questions about owning a TY If you're really serious about this ty, which from the sounds of it could be a very good buy, I would go out and find another one to take for a spin as a comparison. And I'll have to agree with white97 on the tune-up, but you may be able to hold off for a short...

Re: Questions about owning a TY I'd be a little worried about rebuilt engines, especially if you don't know who did it. It's very hard to find anyone who knows what these trucks even are, and even harder to find someone who knows how to work on them. I'm a new owner myself. And the simple...

Re: Relay box above the turbo? I'm going to make sure everything is in right before I replace anything. I'll be reconnecting and cleaning up the fittings, make sure it's tight... I just really just crammed it in tighter last night. I'm also going to make another check on my vac lines again...
