1990 Consulier GTP Targa

[Reaper1]

Johnny, what is behind the bulkhead next to the turbo? I'm thinking maybe the air filter can be behind the engine in the back of the car. Of course I've never seen one in person, so I might just be shooting blanks here.

Another option could be a doughnut adapter. You've probably seen this type of thing, but I'm describing it all weird. It lets you be able to make a 90* turn without having to worry about a tight radius hose. The losses are minimal (although it looks like it would be a giant bottleneck) and it looks like it might solve your issue.

Something like these, but on the turbo, not the intake.

Got caught up with work today.
No work on the car today.
Should have time to work on the GTP tomorrow and look at some ideas you have given me.
My fuel rail fittings are here now, so for sure I can plumb that in. Also might get the special
aluminum cover tomorrow and can install the other valve cover.

[Johnny]

Did some fuel line work. Figured out some things I needed and went chasing parts.
will get much more done this weekend.

My radiator fill tank was finished and I picked it up. I am happy with it!!!
here is the new and old one.....

[Johnny]

Worked on the valve cover idea. It took a lot of fab work to make it right.
Using a square top FI cast aluminum valve cover. And you can see the inside baffle
mods I needed to do to make it fit with this valve cover.
Also the fancy cover bolts hit the cam bolts on the inside so ended up having to
counter sink the nuts on the inside, which took some grinding.
Photo is test fit and it works. Now will clean up the baffle better and install it.

Ooohh... pretty...
:thumbup:

[Johnny]

Got enough done today that I could start it.
Still more to do though.

[Johnny]

I need a throttle cable that's one foot longer.......

[Johnny]

I took the center console out so I could get to the throttle cable.
Got it out, it is 100 inches long or 107 inches if you count the whole length...
sheath and cable.

[shackwrrr]

Neon throttle cables are super long, not sure how long though.

[Johnny]

Good tip, thanks. Will look at them while at the yard today.

[Johnny]

Got it assembled, running and did a test drive today.

[GLHNSLHT2]

looks good Johnny, How's it drive with that intake on it?

[Shadow]

Wow, that looks Super slick! I think it Really suits the look of that car.

[DaveSkrab]

Yeah, how's it drive now?

[Johnny]

With the new shocks it drives great.
still need to tweak.. Think I have the waste gate too loose...only 10 psi boost.

[GLHNSLHT2]

low end torque affected? top end better? throttle response?

[Johnny]

Not driven it enough yet, just taking it easy till see if all is okay. Did test drive it to a
car show this morning.

[Johnny]

Low boost issue to figure out tomorrow.
also had the throttle stick, need to solve that issue for sure.

[Johnny]

Had throttle cable issues, it would stick at full throttle, a little scary. I did solve this and works well now.
Even have the cruz working. And the speedometer.

But not solved the boost issue yet. Will hook up the sideband air/fuel monitor today.
