    Re: 92 GTC Convertible Resto

    Yea, I'm still slightly angry about that. But at least he found someone to help him save a 2nd identical car that I found for him. That made up for it.

    I have one of these cars, too. Its a...

    Re: Turbonator SBECII (T1)

    Bumping an ancient thread. I'll have to read the entire thing in the near future, but I am looking for, at least the equipment, setup, and know-how to re-program these things. Its a skill that I...

    This is turning into a really beautiful car. I actually helped Jackson assemble some of it, but unfortunately I had some very miserable allergies in southern Wisconsin at the time, so I was about as...

    Re: Daytona Drone

    Unless it is a massive half-inch wide or bigger gap at that leak, it isn't going to affect the drone noise much, if at all. It can quiet it down a bit, but such exhaust leaks like that do not...

    Re: 92 GTC Convertible Resto

    Close, but the body computer was not the issue. Nothing that has to do with the EVIC system will work without the "premium" body control module. The issue was that he was using 1992+ electronics in...

    Re: 92 GTC Convertible Resto

    The one person I know that did it on TD went by the name of "turboSOB". He took it another step farther and got the auto climate controls and digital gauge cluster working into a 1991 G-Body.

    I know of only a couple others who have swapped in the EVIC system over the years, and in order to get it fully functional is not an easy task by any means and most who got close to doing it...

    Re: Motor is done. Car won't start.

    Go back to basics. An engine needs three things to run.

    1.) Compression. Easy to check. May as well do all four cylinders. Make sure it has it. Even a new, not-broken-in engine should make...

    I'd like to read that book. Definitely post something if you find out. But to be honest, sound waves alone are not a complicated thing to understand. But one thing I don't quite understand is how...

    The principle that article is working on is the fact that sound is emitted from a source, which vibrates whatever is in its way, and then vibrates the air on the opposite side which reaches a...

    Re: Daytona Drone

    Okay, I didn't plan on coming to any conclusion that is actually starting to make sense, but it is starting to seem a bit less coincidental.

    6,000 power strokes per minute is 100 power strokes per...

    Interesting. I just did some quick calculations, and I'd like others' opinions on what I discovered.

    Assuming that the number of power strokes that an engine makes per engine revolution directly...

    Ultimately, I think the G-bodies are acoustical nightmares. I drove a dynamat-filled IROC R/T a few hundred miles to Ohio years ago, and it was still loud. Base model G-bodies of this era have no...

    Re: fresh 3.0L swap - No Start

    How did you "blow" a 12 valve 6G72? Those things are pretty darn tough. Killing one is like beating a tiger with a fly swatter.

    In all my automotive experience, I do not see any clear benefits of one antifreeze to another. Just maintain the cooling system--you know, change the fluid every 5 years or so and you are good to go...

    Isn't the drone a resonance? A certain RPM generates a certain frequency that resonates and that is where the darn noise comes from. There is such a device which can read the frequency of such...

    The 2.4 was a non-interference engine. Toss on a new belt and it should be good to go.

    I don't thing General Motors is smart enough to go through all that complicated stuff.

    I do feel out of place for asking, but now that Carlos is no longer with us, what happened to his car?

    You are correct in that the suspension setup works by the entire "axle" assembly twisting in order to articulate, so that alone shoots down the aluminum idea because aluminum definitely does not like...

    Who knows? Maybe I may mount the differential off to one side as well, to make room for, say, the exhaust and drive shaft.
