Soon, I'm guessing I'll be done in late January as long as Santa brings me a clutch for x-mas :P 8) :twisted:

The auto is already out of the car, but I haven't had time to put he pedal/shifter in it lately as x-mas is eating-up all of my free time.

Heres what I plan on doing to my $1400 TGP.  Full motor build up,  bigger cam,  port and polished heads with valves bored out to make them bigger (more air in more air out equals faster)  I also plan on getting the Jeff M x-pipe and the top gun performence chip.  Upgrading to a T04B turbo(quicker spools with about the same boost).  FFP underdrive pulley and dogbones. 3" exhaust with 40 series mufflers.  Chill Factory fuel pressure regulator along with their Mr. Freeze CO2 charged intercooler(guaranteed 60 degree temp drops) Limited slip differential with 3.73 gears instead of 3.33.  already have a custom intake set up(dropped estimated .3 off my quarter) and wrapped intercooler to throttle body pipe along with a 62mm throttle body.  Some serious cash for some serious mods for a screaming kick ass car.  My goal is to set a time for someone to beat.  If I can set one I want someone who can beat me and teach us how they did it.  Plus come on now where else can you get a 13 year old 12 second car without dumping 10 grand into the motor.  My total mod cost is going to be right around $2500 maybe a little more.  So for a grand total maybe of $4500 bucks including the car I have a car that will run 12's.
1990 Grand Prix GTX ASC McLaren Turbo 13's maybe soon!!

<---- Is halfway to your destination already......

Ported heads, slightly oversized valves(did it for rebuild purposes), Crane 2020 cam, catless and mufflerless exhaust, K&N on the Turbo, Greddy Prfec-B boost controller(ganked from my Supra until spring)...

Waiting on a way to fix my tranny issues. I think I may have them just about solved.. Kept poping transmissions left and right(do a earch for tranny problems, and about half of them are mine I think..lol). I'm trying to stay auto, as I have enough manual cars to play with. It's also a daily driver, so I need to keep it streetable.

I'm going to install an FMIC, NOS Nozzle wet mitrous fogger if they will fit, Accell 24# injectors, custom ECM programming, Modded JeffM x-over(need to fit the T-04 or bigger... May do some real custom stuff and slap on something bigger), larger fuel pump(probably walboro), and a built bottom end(have the core engine on my stand right now).

If this doesn't get me 12.0 1/4's, and good reliability, and streetability, I"m going to drop in a built Turbo'd 3800 Series II.

I prbably could hit it without Nitrous but I also haev a masssive sound system going in, and some 18"rims. So weight will definately play a roll in it as well Hence the addition of the Nitrous.....hehehe

I think more people need to venture into the gen III swap, the gen III setup w/ the largest valves(I believe 00+ for the 3100's and maybe a bit earlier on the 3400's) and then you'd have a pretty good increase in power even if your TGP was basically stock. This would definitely help in the quest for better times..I think my dad has a turbo upgrade, a bov, and a custom tune in the works..he's planned these things anyways, but he's also been talking about getting another unique car soon(possibly a GN 8) ).

I plan on a 3X00 swap, although I don't really feel like going through the trouble of finding a 3400 when 3100s are everywhere and much easier to find.  I already have '94 3100 heads, and I plan on the getting the rest pretty soon.  It depends if I feel like going to the yard and freezing.  :roll:  :twisted:  :D

ok....so are you guys plannin on 12.9 or 12.0? im shootin for 13.5 or close to it .......for now............but hey i wouldnt mind breakin into the 12's soon .......even if i have to use NOS and drag tires  lol.....my current time of 14.6 was on 110 gas and cheap-o tires aired down  so tires will make a huge dif in the way my car launches .............oh yea and on a side note....im sure it has been mentioned before but i will ask it again ......who is the fastest TGP? and what is their time?      probably a good question to ask now since we have several of us that are shooting for low times   maybe we could have a goal to shoot for if someone else has already done it............ 8) .........


i think the fastest one i have heard of was like 14.2 ....................

There was a corrected time of 13.56 I think from some kid in AZ.. he's on here I think, but on the w-body board also.

It doesn't run anymore.

Yeah Im curious what the fastest TGP is too. Also why not just run more boost instead dealing with adding another power adder and using NO2.

you aren't gonna get much of a quality boost out of our puny turbos past 12-13psi
