I'm not familiar with those codes but the SRS light is not under the Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Its under a separate tab in a professional scan tool. It's been years since I've had to clear mine so I can't help you navigate to where it is unfortunately. Shouldn't be too hard to find though...just...

You're not hitting 450hp on that turbo, let alone 500hp. The TD05 turbine wheel will only move so much exhaust and you're going to need a built engine (10:1 or higher CR, 272 cams, ect.) to actually generate the airflow required for 450hp with the 20g compressor, more efficient bolt-on mods...

Not sure about others on here but I try to change my oil every 3k-ish miles. Because of that, I stick with conventional oils unless there's a screaming deal on synthetics.Oil pressure looks good and since the turbo is brand new, I would just stick with your standard 5w30/10w30 weight oils...

Unless your engine was built for heavier weight oils, no you should not just decide to run 20w50. You're supposed to run higher weight oils when your clearances (rod/main bearings) are spec'd on the looser side. This is primarily done on track-only cars since the engine lives in the higher rpms...

Wanted to report back because I'm pretty sure I figured out what was causing my timing belt to violently flop around.My exhaust Fidanza cam gear looks to be out-of-round and physically wobbling as the engine rotates. I didn't take a video of this area but when the timing belt teeth and the...

Thanks for the reassurance and I do agree with you on all points, but I do wish I took a video before I readjusted the belt. There was much more vibration/flopping of the belt than shown in the video I posted. So much so that I thought if I put the timing covers on, it would physically slap it...

I'll most likely tear the timing section down sometime next week. Inspect everything, make sure my balance shafts are correctly phased, re-verify my timing tensioner is set correctly, etc.If I find the timing belt is still resonating/vibrating/flopping, whatever you wanna call it, around...

Weird. This is the first time I've seen these steps. I have Alldata and I don't remember it ever saying anything like this. Looks like I'll re-adjust the belt againI didn't make it a priority to check that but visually, it looked fine. All my marks lined up after 15 min and running the car...

Yes, but it's not so low that the space between the body of the tensioner and the tensioner arm are out of spec. The holes visually look like they line up but the grenade pin just won't pass through the last holeI initially set the timing belt tension using the grenade pin method and always...

Yes, 7-bolt and the pulley was rotated counter-clockwise to where the 2 holes in it are pointed toward the bottom of the engine.

Tension should be set between .150" and .177" and mine is just over .168". I measured with a dial caliper and used the drill bit method just to double check. A 5/32" drill bit will fit with minor play but a 11/64" drill bit will not fit. If you actually do the grenade pin passing through all the...

Wondering if it's normal for the timing belt to resonate at certain rpms and vibrate/flop around?New timing belt was recently installed along with all new OEM tensioner, tensioner pulley, idler, and balance shaft pulley. Belt tension has been gone over multiple times and re-adjusted to...

Re-adjusted timing belt tension, tested alternator wiring (low charging volts/bad alt), raised car 1.5", and installed K&N filter. Very pleased knowing this is now what I consider easy. Will be re-installing lower/upper timing covers once I figure out what's making my timing belt flop around a...

Hmm interesting. Is it possible you have the incorrect timing components for your N/T? Idk if any of the sprockets are interchangeable between turbo and N/T ( I assumed they were), but maybe you received parts for the wrong year DSM?If this turns out to be just a belt issue, I'll have to...

You're too focused on the torque between the cam sprockets. Use zip-ties around the 11 and 6 o'clock position for the exhaust cam to hold it in place, regardless of how difficult it seems. This effectively wraps the teeth of the belt around the gear and keeps it there. You can do the same to the...
