95 thru 97 factory turbo ECUs have a bug & the monitors (readiness codes) reset at keyoff therefore, never set. It's a known problem & the EPA standard has published exemption for these car years.The documents are uploaded on this forum. Search...
I don’t use it, but it is good oil. Most formulas have a lot of zinc which can be important for some applications.I use Valvoline VR1 because it is convenient but would move over to driven if it were easier to find in the weight my engine...
You got it.The point of the buffer circuit is to make the wideband output stronger so it can better control the voltage seen at ECU pin 15. The pin is not floating because it is being pulled up to 5 volts DC by the 10,000 ohm internal resistor...
Loved the latest video. DSM crew showing up in force showing how to put together a car correctly.Does anyone know what kind of digital torque wrench is being used on the bottom end install. Looks like a kobolt 3/8” model? I’m in the market to...
You need a power transistor to run the coils. If you go to a COP that has the power transistor/ignitor built in then you could direct fire from the ecu if the Link ECU has the power to run said COP.You don't technically need to use the...
I was trying to do the same thing but in a 1g. The 1g is not well supported but the 2g seems to be still. Call crutchfield and they can likely sort you out.
In communities like this, it becomes an issue of whether or not the lack of decorum and the abrasiveness is pushing people away or deterring them from participating and contributing in a meaningful way.Some people have this idea that the tough...
How do people over tension these? I always set them to .150-.180 tensioner piston extension. Do people tighten them so much that the tensioner is bottomed out?
I use composite head gaskets on stock piston/rod combos. The headgasket serves as a fuse.For piston/rod motors, mls and some experience tuning. Another reason to run mls is to lower the compression or get the cylinder head height correct.
I had an auto awd, but don’t recall haw hard it was to remove axles. Is there any way to get a hose clamp around the cv cup so that you have something to pry against?
Im trying to find a 1G manual rack now so I can get it remade with Quaife to fit PS racks, this will help alot with real manual racks for the DSM that bolt up easily and have mostly ALL oem parts fitment wise. plus the PS housings are wayyy...
Do you know anyone who is comfortable working on any car? Aunt, uncle, etc?This tool will help. It negates the need to remove the camshaft and thus the timing belt...
100% Rod Knock, it's fixable but you better hope that your crank is in spec and the cam bearings aren't trashed. also if the bearing is spun you'll need a new set of rods
Even worse if bearing material starts pumping metal through the engine. It ruins anything that oil touches. Crank, oil pump, cams, cylinder head, lifters, turbo. It’s all likely junk if it’s been ran like that for very long. Even the valve cover...
