Just a Topaz Gold Metallic GTP



Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

I will post pics of it later, but I got the Elm OBD2 device in the mail today. It took forever to get the device to connect to my phone, but it finally did and all I can say is WOW about the Android Torque app. Although I might need a LIM cause at WOT with PS the boost gauge only got up to 3.3 which is a little weak IMO. On a good note though at WOT I had NONE, NADA, ZIP, 0.0 KR. Oh and per the data of the app my max HP was 181 and my 1/4 mile was 17. sumting. I need monies for my kah, LAWL.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

I actually want a gold gtp now after looking through your pics lol. I think there a good "sleeper".

Glad you got it figured out. The hp and 1/4 times are not accurate at all. It said mine did a 14.6 @ 105 mph lol and i had 246 hp or something like that. You might have a vacuum leak somewhere only getting 3.3 psi out of the stock pulley. With just headers i was getting around 6-7 psi stock pulley.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Well I figured out how to do a "screen shot" of the Torque App. Here are the things I am monitoring as of now. This was right after a cold start, so not sure if it is accurate.

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

This was at the start of a WOT pull. I was wondering tough why I am only making 3.3 psi of boost at WOT. Another question is At WOT my timing is at 15*, is that normal?

Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Uhhh, vacuum leak?

If it was just a the beginning of a WOT run...it might have fully registered the full psi amount...which shouldn't be higher than...ummm 7~psi.

Timing should be 16*, check it at the top of the rev range this time around.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Blue, could my LIM be the vacuum leak. I have looked at all the lines. Only found one and fixed it. Also the Boost gauge on the dic only goes up just under half. I have never seen full boost on this car.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Yup, sounds like a vac leak.

Even though the factory gauge is awful to go by...

Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge by chance?

And yeah the LIM very well could be....easy way to tell...when the motor is cold, start it...and spray everywhere with carb cleaner.

If the idle changes or surges...you found the leak.
 


Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

No, I don't have an aftermarket boost gauge, just the one on the app. About 3 months ago I tried the carb cleaner trick to find nothing. I mean the car is smooth and handles long road trips fine, it's just not producing full boost. I guess I will have to deal with it lol till I get some time, I work in Louisiana and visit my house only once a month.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

bbv not working right? See if it closes all the way with you pushing it down.
 
Re: Just a Topaz Gold Metalic GTP

Don't have any updates. I am too broke to make the trip (6hrs) to my house from Louisiana. So not having any tools or money sucks. Although I went home on Memorial Day weekend. I had a good time with some old friends and my GTP was used for entertainment purposes. Here is a pic of me and my friends getting sh*tty drunk with the GTP providing music.
