Jomamma's Bagged Red 97 GTP | Somethings Always Broken |



Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

Found a kitten under my car the other day.

I went to the bank 30 seconds away from my house... bank closed... 2 minutes later I returned to find a kitten curled up in a ball where I was parked. I immediately thought I ran it over ( sad face ). I picked it up and it seemed fine so I started walking it to the woods where I assumed it came from to put it back. I looked at it and thought to myself, I couldn't leave it there. So I contemplated calling the humane society, but then I thought there was a chance that they would euthanize it.

Instead I decided to keep it... at a willing friends house.

She's only 4 weeks old and I don't have a name for her. Help me name her GPF!

Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

I have a dilemma.

I want to get a pillar pod for my aeroforce and 2 other gauges, but ZZP doesn't make the color of my pillars. They only make graphite. I'm in the 10% of grand prix that have taupe pillars .

So should I get the the one from zzp and try and match the color of the other pillar and paint it... or should I buy the lotek one that thrasher sells with the ugly screw holes?
 
Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

The gen v is finally on.I have 2 main concerns.
1) I'm not making any boost my aeroforce says 1lb max
2) I'm over heating. I removed the thermostat because I'm pretty sure it wasn't opening up. *But it's still running hot.

It idles fine. I'm using the stock gen v evap. And i tapped the tb and ran a line to the nipple on the supercharger.

My evap line is supposed to run from that little thing under where the old evap was to the evap on the blower right?

Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

your vac line from the boost by pass to the fpr, it dont look ok seal wise, and it should continue to the T under the snout, then to the map sensor on the back of the engine.

like so,

Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

2 T's one under the snout, one off the fpr. the other end off the t under the snout goes to the map sensor.

Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

what was under the snout? just a open vac port?

that diagram is how it should be routed, it looks like you put a gen 5 on tapped the TB for the pvc, other then that vac hose, everything else should be the same. unless you deleted the map, and evap.

ok, i see you used to be a 97 now with gen 5 right?

set it up like the diagram there. buy new vac lines too, go to advance auto, they are the only parts store i found with small T's. 2 came in the pack for 2 bucks, then 3 bucks worth of new vac line.
 


Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

No I deleted the the stock evap and I'm using the one for the gen v.

The nipple under the snout runs to the map sensor.
 
Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

you were using that vac tree in the front side of the 97 gen 3 blower, now your not. so i think you need to do the 98 routing.
 
Re: Jomamma's Red 97 GTP AKA Horace

Noticed my car smelled like vomit on the way home from class.

I remembered I had packet up my old blower to transportit back to my house 2 days ago.

Opened the box it was in ... vomit... vomit everywhere. Well not literal vomit, just smelled like it, the sc oil plug wasn't screwed in all the way.
