Default Re: ATX TT owners post up.

haha, ill be the first to post i guess.

I have a 93 base atx 3000gt that i twin turboed, i was 17 when i started the project and am now 18. Yes i was in way over my head but i dont regret doing it, i learned SO much stuff, and i will never be afraid to do anything on any car i ever own now.

As far as my setup i have as follows: 9B's/Dual core Front Mount(no real reason but it looks AWSOME!!)/3sx lightweight crank pulley/s-afc/prosport peakhold oil press. --boost guage/apexi turbo timer/addco rear sway bar/3sx front strut bar/MR coilovers(not yet installed)/ICH4 inch exhaust).

Let me first say that no matter how bad the car runs, i would still love it just because ive put so much work into it and i have a special connection with it. I dont have any transmission modifications yet, mostly because i dont know what to do. I really love the car, what can i say it sounds amazing, handles great, and as soon as i put my rims on will look amazing!!


As far as the actual TT ATX part, i really need to get it tuned. i have the s-afc set to 0% correction, and the car is running very rich. Also when i accelerate a fair amount, i will get a lot of blue or white smoke out of the tail pipe, usually this goes away after i let off the gas for a few seconds. I dont know why this would be but i am not running the car too hard as of right now so im not that worried.

I really wish i had a manual, but i am also glad i have an auto because ive heard they wont break near as much as the Manual will, also its nice to be able to do stuff while you are driving. I would also rather have a vr4 just because there awd and manual, but i wont be selling my car any time soon, im in love with it!

All in all i love my car, its not completely finished nor does it run perfect but I have only had it on the road less than a week. I followed BigTyla's thread for connecting the ecu, along with research i did on my own, and everything is working fine, i am having some idle issues but nothing major. No CEL at all!! One small oil leak(i think it is coming from the oil intake line on the front turbo, I know i torqued it down though so i dont know why its leaking.

Sorry for the long post, i was just very bored, hope you guys enjoy all that reading.

Lets here from you other guys, any idea on why im getting smoke on accel.
