REMEMBER, all those vacuum lines wind up in the intake one way or another so spraying the lines will suck it into the intake and make it run shitty. hope any of this helps you out, if you have any questions you can call me on my cell anytime 848-992-2118

1 i dont even know what that reverse switch is or where it is
2 im gunna check the thermostat next
3 we sprayed the shit out of it with carb cleaner and found where the leak is coming from its coming from "if your looking at the motor standing in front of the car" where the tb meets the intake mani and its like a supercharger sound we rtv'd it to see if it would stop it and it only made it a little less noticable...

i still need to get all my gauges and safc-2 installed and my 60,000 mile tune up done but when i give the car gas it breaks up pretty bad and the turbo sounds like its fully spooled at 1 grand the car idles at 1000 for a min then idle surg and dies if i could get someone to check it out in person it might help i may not be wording this all so that you can fully understand the problems oh yeah and my steal braided oil line leaked oil into my cabin sucks ass

Redfwdsm · 04-21-2009, 04:08 PM

ok so i fixed my fan and my temp guage also figured out another problem but now a new one has come up i took it to the street to see how it drove and i didnt get past 5 mph or 25 feet before turning around and geting it in my garage..
the whole car was shaking and loud clicking like a cv axle was bad or drive shaft is loose.
i shouldnt have these problems cause ammco put in the trans and cv axles and drive shaft also transfer case idk what to do anymore im actully going to have dogbox look at it and if it was a install error im going to sue the pants off ammco i still gota read this code thats being thrown..

are you still having reverse problems? did you find your reverse switch and take it out yet? its on top of your tranny, under where the airbox should be, its gonna be a big bolt with a black 2 wire plug on it. should be right by the ground strap going from your frame to your trans.

its not the switch its the cables.
i was talking to chris at dogbox and he talked me through it on the phone when i stand in front of the car and pull up and to me on the trans it goes in to reverse so i gota adjust that i still need to find a way to read this obd1 code

1fastlaser · 04-22-2009, 05:25 PM

I had problems with that reverse sensor alot of times, which reminds me its giving me problems now.

Has anything been going on out in good ol TR? My cars completly done. I got a good map going also, 26psi on pump no meth/water injection.

pulls real nice brotha... when you gonna come tunre my car? i got a new turbo. dont really want to go back to the dyno. give me a call

Boosted_out · 04-23-2009, 01:44 PM

Damn Steve that thing is pulling and no meth yet? Crazy. Are you bringing the Laser when you come down my way?

1fastlaser · 04-23-2009, 05:28 PM

Thanks guys, figured it would give people some motivation.

Im going to be tuning up to 30psi on pump, im pretty sure i can get away with it. I wont be running no meth/water injection. After that ill be putting some q16 in the car and making a race gas map. Just for reference this is on a non o ringed head/block with a FELPRO composite head gasket. Ive been running it since i put the motor back together. I had a cometic hp, but had bad luck with it. This thing is holding tight, no issues ever.

I am going to be building a groden rod 2.4 with all the bells and whistles, but i figured screw it, my motors together lets see what she will do.

Yeah man, ill have the car with me, probably on the hoosier. So if some BIG BAD v8s start running there mouths, shits gonna get ugly

Im running 14.5 degrees total in aem on 26psi. Ill be bumping it up alittle on 26, and keeping it around 13-14 on more boost on pump.

I ran my buddies procharged stang that runs pretty consistant 10.80s@132 133, and sat a nose on him with how the car sits now, so i cant complain.

kawboy · 04-23-2009, 11:06 PM

Very nice

I look forward to seeing you on 37

Hopefully I can pull off similar boost on pump gas with link
