Thread: Here to learn

Hello Yall

I just got my Car last year and wow there was a Lot of fun issues. Ha Ha Ha My friend told me about this Forum so I am here to get some info to make my Car awesome or more awesomer (If thats a word).

OK here are the specs if I can say that
Year: 1999
body type: 4 door sedan
Model: Gran Prix SE
Engine: 3800 v2

Buck...who is your buddy?

BTW, it's Series II not V2

...not here to make out with us?

Supercharge, Turbo... or gtfo











Oh... and welcome

your forgetting twin turbo and twin supercharger or gtfo

Nah, gotta start small and work up. Baby steps, bro.

go big or go home lol but then you learn that going big is 3 times the amount of cash

Going home via wrecker after you blow the welds on the intake

ugh that reminds me i have to get a heater core and a few odds and ends. my thought was 2 smaller turbos is better than 1 big one or oyu could stager a smaller turbo with a larger one. but that all works in my head so not sure if it would really work.

Alot of JDM people with 2JZ Supra motors run a staggered turbo setup so they can stay in boost better, not for sure how it really works, but I don't think we really have the room for it under the hood. 1 big turbo seems to be the better way to go with out motors.

The smaller one boosts until the bigger one kicks in then the smaller one is a waste at that point lol

wow that was quick so you guys are paying attention. lol

Ok as for mt friend I have to get his user-name , but he once mention that there was a way to modify the airflow sensor to get better mileage.
and apparently he read it here by accident.

lol 2 days no activity... hrmmmm.

Only way I know of to "modify the airflow sensor to get better mileage" is to tune the car for better mileage. That would put you in the area of getting a programmer/tuner program and the means by which to make adjustements. This requires alot of time and energy and RESEARCH so you don't do more harm than good.
Or find someone local who knows what they are doing and pay to get it tuned.
