  1. If you've dyno tuned your cam gears..please post

    I agree on bringing this thread back, its a great topic.I just finish degreeing my GSC S2 cams so I just need to get motivated and drop the motor back in. Based on GSC's choices in Lobe centers imply they are aiming for less overlap than stock but the increased duration might negate some...
  2. Very bad fluid leak between tranny and transfer case!

    It is either the oil seal that goes around the transfer shaft inside the transmission - hard to get to, or the oil seal that goes around the transfer shaft collar in the transfer case - easy to get to.Either way, they are the same seal, and will run you $6, so it will just cost you some...
  3. biss screw wire connector question

    The BISS stands for base idle set screw and it is a mechanical device with no electrical connection. Refer to this site for more information. If that site does not answer your questions please post a picture of your concern.
  4. Ticking kind of sound when engine cold near timing belt...NOT LIFTER TICK

    Don't forget the famous solenoid ticking.I would be willing to bet that half of you have a malfunctioning EGR or Purge solenoid system.The solenoid itself is often good, but the valve downstream isn't opening so the solenoid rapidly fires as it repeatedly attempts to open the valve...
  5. Odd Clicking Behind Dash

    I would check the solenoids mounted to the firewall inside the engine compartment. There is one for fuel pressure, one for EGR, and one for canister purge and I would bet one of those is making the clicking.
  6. Used FIC Injectors

    The best thing is to call FIC directly. I am pretty sure the kit from this page will take care of you. I would just confirm fitment for your particular injectors. FIC is a good company to deal with so you shouldn't have any trouble.
  7. where does this hose go?

    That tube is not connected. It is the overflow for the overflow tank.
  8. 18's or 17's?

    I believe he was referring to changing the final drive ratio intended by the factory by actually having a larger outside diameter of the tire. This would mean installing a tire with the incorrect profile, making the speedo inaccurate, and placing more strain on the drivetrain.I would...
  9. suggestions for first timing belt install- pay shop or DIY

    I don't understand your third question. You said you are buying a new balance belt and then asking about eliminating it.If you do in fact want to remove the balance shafts you need to do so before doing the timing belt, as it requires removing the oil pump assembly and installing balance...
  10. oil catch can [Merge]

    I am not going to argue with you about un-metered air, just know that the experience of several hundred DSMLink owners disagree with you on DSMLink's forum. In practice, it should only be an issue close to idle (no positive pressure in the cover).Believe what you want, I am just trying to...
  11. oil catch can [Merge]

    There are two issues: 1: You should not have a catch can vent to the atmosphere. People will disagree, but this allows un-metered air into the system. You may never "feel" a difference, but in DSMLink when I tried this I could see that the ECU's airflow readings were off. The second reason...
  12. Is it possible to hit high 13s?

    xvenanxcowboyx is right. If the ECU is truly mapped for 510 it will create a lean condition.
  13. Biss screw adjusting

    To answer your question on why you ground... Grounding prevents the ECU from moving the ISC Motor to compensate for the changes you are making with the BISS. This is the most effective way to adjust because you can dial the idle in by using the tach and be done.Trial and error works without...
  14. Cam Angle Sensor mounting clearance

    Thanks for the responses. I agree that due to common practice if nothing else I will put the lock washer against the head of the bolt.Just for future reference, lockwashers don't do much "locking" at least according to NASA. I have a BSME(=strange interest in how things work) so I looked...
  15. Cam Angle Sensor mounting clearance

    I understand how fasteners function. A lock washer can compress between the body of the sensor and the block just as well as between the head of the bolt and the sensor.Anyone with actual experience? Thanks.
