Hi All, i'm sure i'm like others at this point in the year and need to think about some mods and maintenance while the car sleep's in the garage.
I have a noisy drivers side cooling fan motor; Should i pull the unit out and replace the motor with a OE unit or should i look at a replacment/upgraded assembly from Spal, Maradyne or FAL?.... Do the TTA's have the same radiator and cooling fan assembly as all other 3rd gens?
I also need to figure out why my transmision lock up isnt working....
I'm also contemplating buying one of Merkels SG1 short block assemblies....The current motor seems strong, so i dont know if i will peel into the motor this year or next...Baring that for sure I'm going to buy a new turbo to look after the air and a 9 inch converter to spool it..Sure would like a new intercooler but with the limited options that probably isnt going to happen, but if a mease unit came up i would jump on in...,Or I'm going to build one.....
I had the car out to the track once this past summer and i think i ran through two-three tanks of gas through her....Only mod's i did were a alky kit and a boost controller... and the lag on the bottom end is pretty bad...Ran a 13.4 at 100 MPH...I thought it would have gone 103-104....I should have focused on looking at the stall in the car now, but it was streetable. and i knew i was going to buy a new unit that should stall about 3-3200 and i'll go from there.
I have some 50 lb injectors and a TT chip that i never put in this past summer; might upgrade and go with some 60's instead for next year.
I also need to figure out a drive shaft loop; any thoughts? I really dont want to drill the car so i will need to fab somthing up.
Thoughts?
