Re: 1997 Black GTP - Full Size Intercooler, Installed.

Yeah, my bad too. Its a hot topic for me I can't resist. Sorry.

On topic...your car is looking badass! Plan on getting dyno done?

It's a sensitive topic for many people.

But thanks man, I don't plan on getting on the dyno until I have 60's, racetronix fuel pump, and e85.

Dan, somewhat on topic, where is that belt wrap thread ace tagged you in?

It was sold by the time I saw the comment :(

And if you all want to keep up the keyboard warrioring, I'll just delete whatever Dan wants me to since it's his thread.

How about that?

THIS.

Please let's keep this thread on point and somewhat clean. It already has 238 pages of bullsh1t.

Yup your right.. But 99% of my opinion are purely on looks not a Dexcool debate that's been talked about a zillion times already and usually it's the same guys that have been around long enough to know that's it's nothing serious it's just poking fun. Have you been through Dans thread.. Dudes anal in a good way he's not going to go 15 years and a zillion miles with the same Dexcool in his system so once again he"ll be fine with it. I don't blame him using to different coolant just makes leaks easier to pinpoint and troubleshoot down the road.

I only used different coolants to pinpoint leaks.

I'm sorry for bringing up the coolant topic, as I didn't think it would turn into this. I'll do my own thing while everyone else does their own. At the end of the day, I have built a quick and great looking GP. I think I somewhat know what I'm doing, and will take car of my car extremely well :)

wow you guys dont quit.......



dan, how she running now? any vids yet?

Car is running great. Zero KR, with 17* timing. Just adding the intercooler, made a big different. I can definitely tell a difference in power. Can't wait until I can fully utilize the Intercooler and add some timing or get a smaller pulley.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Full Size Intercooler, Installed.

Metro Cruise was this weekend, so I cleaned up the exterior, interior, and engine bay. It's when my car is running good and looks like this, when I love it. Which is typically very minimal.















Car is actually running an 11.3 AFR at 17.5* of timing. Leaner that I'd like to be, but im "leaning" (no pun intended) to believe my stock injectors are so maxed out at this point, that's all they can do with the amount of air entering the engine.

Can I have your car? Yours makes my car look pathetic lol.

That's a good AFR. I would be happy with that.


13.3 however is too lean.

Grand Rapids is in the lower peninsula of Michigan. About 4.5 hours or so, south of the Mackinac bridge.

Darn, that's a bit far for me. Well if you are ever in the U.P. area or if I'm ever up there, we should arrange to meet or something.

Get some 42's.

The car will run so much better, especially since you'll have all that headroom.

Wouldn't it make more sense to get 60's or 80's? The reason I ask is because they're about the same price but open up a lot of headroom for E85 in the future...

What this guy said.

I'm holding off for some 60s because I'm going e85 in the future. Id like to buy injectors once and be done with that. Do it right the first time.

If he wasn't going corn, then 42's are plenty of an injector for an IC/rocker car.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Full Size Intercooler, Installed.

But I am going corn ;)

Otherwise I would agree with you and save some money and go with 42s.
 
Re: 1997 Black GTP - Full Size Intercooler, Installed.

well, you'll be off-setting that cost with the right foot and MPG loss with that corn lol
