What have you done to your TGP/TSTE lately?

[LukeZ34]

New (used) starter is installed.
New GM PMIII Accumulator is installed
New GM FPR installed

New Heated Delco O2 sensor and TPS sensor arrived today.. may have to work on that this weekend.

[TGPilot]

Been busy Luke?  ;)

Where did you get the accumulator from?

[twinturbosedan]

i just dropped off my TGP crossover pipe at the local exhaust shop to have the EGR bung completely removed and welded up.  now i gotta drill out the EGR passage in the plenum for 1/2" NPT and stick a plug in there.  later on i'm going to remove the plug and mount a vacuum distribution block in it's place.

i also talked to him about chopping off the T25 flange & the short extention just before the flange so i could get a T3 flange on there.  he seemed to think he could replace the short T25 sized extension with a larger T3 sized one along with a T3 flange as long as i supplied him with the flange :)  not sure on price but i've given them alot of buisness in the past so hopefully it won't be too much.

i also mentioned building turbo 3400 headers but that sounded like it would take ALOT of shop time, IOW uber expensive.

Yea, it kept me busy for a while. That starter was a PITA to replace.
We got the accumulator with the car when we bought it. The PO bought it before he had the Prior PM III installed. I still need to bleed the MC, but it runs every 2 pushes now instead of every push with the Prior Accumulator.

i finally got my new GM greaseable balljoints installed today.  i used a die to clean up the threads and it worked great!  i bought some new castle nuts and cotter pins and i also had to buy 45* zerk fittings from NAPA because the straight fittings that came with the balljoints would have been impossible to access.  anyways, i am SOOOOO relieved i didn't have to buy new balljoints!



i pick up my crossover pipe on monday and then all of the turbo stuff goes back in :icon_biggrin:

[mfewtrail]

Where's your ball joint heatshield Josh? ;)

[twinturbosedan]

i lost those a long time ago :laugh:  i've been meaning to pick some up next time i'm at the j/y

[GOT2B GM]

Installed a rebuilt T25 that I bought from Dave. I still need to buy an adjustable wastegate actuator to replace my leaking factory one.

[Prospeeder]

Replaced a coolant line from the water pump and put a 2000 GP CD player in. Im about to get my front bumper and valance painted too

today i almost got done installing the dual outlet exhaust from my old TSTE into my Turbo Cutlass :icon_biggrin:

[twinturbosedan]

so the Turbo Cutlass now has dual exhaust from my old TSTE, all i have to do is weld the pipes together.





i just picked up my crossover pipe from the exhaust shop.  i had them completely remove the EGR bung and weld it up :icon_mrgreen:  the guy told me for around $50 he could cut off the T25 flange (and the T25-sized extension between the flange and pipes) and weld on T3 sized extension and T3 flange for about $50.  i think i'm gonna do it.

in the last week (in the order i can best remember too)

oops forgot one..... got a MBC

1.   broke an axle at the track
2.   fixed axle at track
3. left the track then broke an axle, wasnt even really beating on it
4. towed it ~120 miles home (free with CAA)
5. got another axle for the car
6. broke that axle, and this time it fucked up my transmission, the axle broke and smaked into the case (im assumming) and the housing has approx 6x3" hole in it.
7. took out the tranny to find........................... my clutch disc is fubarred, where the splines are the hole center thingy is completely loose, WHICH EXPLAINS EVERYTHING
8. installed a OEM clutch aswell as a rebuilt getrag 284 (yes another one)
9. since i had to take the turbo off again anyways, i took it apart and  bored out the outlet to make clearance around the turbine wheel for better flow, as Skalor( Josh) did that on the stock turbo and said it seemed to help alot.
10. i relowered the front of my car
11. replace my tie-rod ends with greesable ones
12. replace my balljoints with greesable ones (greese nippe fitting makes for a fight fit for actually greasing them)
13. put the turbo back together and adjusted it for the FMIC ive been wanting to get the piping installed in

14- to come tomorrow- putting a new set of tires on the car (i know its late in the season, but there in my garage already and all 4 of mine are getting preety worn... have no idea what causes that

Got the new GM TPS sensor installed, as well as the heated O2.
I had to notch out the mounting screw holes in the TPS sensor so I could adjust it down to the proper voltage. The car idles perfectly now, and I can tell the new O2 is making a difference in how it runs too.

Now comes the fun of pulling the motor from the GTP..
