txslow6's 97 TGTP

Awesome! I hope you can make it up. What remains on your car to make it legal?

I just need it inspected. They keep saying they cant inspect it because I have two monitors showing "not ready". (catalyst and egr) But what's weird is that it passed inspection the first 3 years I owned it, and thats with the catalyst and egr showing "not ready". I still have those inspection sheets. So, they must have changed something in the inspection laws a few years ago...

I wonder the numbers if those rockers were gone and at least an st1 was in it. I'd like to see the difference lol

I'm sure it would have been at least a 50-60hp difference.

Well hopefully you will get it worked out in time.


Time to recap:
N/A L67- 142HP/171TQ-M90 block off, open cone intake, 2.5" dp, Intense Racing OG PCM, 18" wheels

TGP- 266hp/293tq- 10 PSI, intercooled CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, 2.5" exhaust, 42lb injectors, CT PCM, , L67 MAF, 42lb injectors, 18" wheels

TGP- 286hp/418tq- 11 PSI, Intercooled, CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, plog, 2.5" exhaust, LT1 MAF, ZZP PCM, 42lb injectors, 18" wheels

TGP- 346hp/575tq- 12 PSI, Intercooled, CT kit PT 61, M90 block off, plog, 2.5" exhaust, Cutout, LT1 MAF, ZZP PCM, 42lb injectors, 1.9 rockers, 16" wheels

TGP- ???/???- remove M90 block off, install ported LIM, L36 upper, ported TB, HVIII

Reflecting on the numbers it's very possible the torque numbers are inflated due to convertor flash. Regardless each mod has had a significant affect In increasing horsepower.

That should allow for me to complete the install of the L36 upper.

We will see how it goes. I'll be installing everything next weekend or the following week.



freshened up the rear. Used Plasti-Dip and it works great for the money.

Had to reroute the whole vacuum setup due to the limited amount of ports on the manifold. One of the fuel lines is not wanting to clip on and that's where I'm at. I'll finish up tomorrow and hopefully start it up.

Re: txslow6's 97 TGTP----> L36 topswap in process

NICE job on the build, I'm jelly for sure. You're giving me motivation on mine, and I wish you were closer other I'd suggest a contest of speed between the two of us when my build is done. lol
 
Re: txslow6's 97 TGTP----> L36 topswap in process

you get the badges done yet? the upper looks super sexy, and i highly suggest a 99+ windshield washer bottle

Not yet, HOG mailed out the vinyl yesterday. I should get it sometime with in the next day or two. I'll probably go ahead and plasti dip the emblems tomorrow. I have actually considered a 99+ windshield washer bottle to clean up the bay a little. I despise old plastic and how it turns yellow. :th_angry2:
 
Re: txslow6's 97 TGTP----> L36 topswap in process

Thanks guys it's a work in progress. Slowly getting to where I want it.

Just laid down some plasti dip on the turbo emblems. I'll have pics up in afterwhile.
