No you were clear I just cant read lol. Your always taking a slight risk using a aftermarket part that has been reproduced off a OEM part. If your looking for piece of mind send the ITM one back and get an OEM one. I think John Wigger is selling a 6 bolt OEM pump with straight cut gears for...
I have run OEM and topline front covers. Obviously I would rather use a OEM one but that isent always in the budget. The problem with some of the topline front cover was a bad batch of castings. When installing the oil pump pulley it would hit the front cover. Im sure these casting are still...
Pursuit helped me dial in my DSM Link speed density setup. Long story short was about to take my laptop and toss it across the shop. Sent Pursuit a message over FB. He answered me back in two seconds. Sent him one log file and I was up and running in ten minuets. I would highly recommend...
Late night at the garage trying to get ready for Ocean City Maryland. Just a quick photo before I left the garage. Have a few better pics for you guys by the weekend.
The warranty from machine shops are usually a joke. But do you blame them most people get their car running and turn the boost up out of pure ignorance. If you want a warranty build the engine your self. Invest your money in the proper tools to check all your specifications. Then at the end of...
Similar issue happen on a Toyota at my old shop. Tech dropped a small bolt and did not feel like removing the pan. Eventually the bolt got kicked up and hit the crank. The crank shot the bolt threw the pan like a bullet. Need less to say the customer blew the motor up. If it were me just remove...
I never rapped my megan racing down pipe and its all rusted. Its just cheap material! The flanges arent even ss. I can hang a magnet from them. Whats that old saying? "You get what you pay for"
I used one of the no name kits off of ebay. I have ruffly 15k miles on it and I dont baby the car by any means. Been 12.9 at 106 in a full weight 1g. If you dont have the time, send it over to Forced Performance those guys are always on point!
Check the spline wear while your there. The output shaft are known to wear right where they slide into the t-case. Should have a nice box not a /\ edge on the shaft or the t case!
The Galant VR4 has a taller first gear but it is also weaker. Jacks Transmission has a good write up on in it!Jacks Transmissions LLC — GVR4 1st Gear = Weak
I dont like my PR kit. My throttle body pipe pointed up. It caused my gm maf to hit the hood. If I would have known i was going to have so many fitment issues i would have assembled my own kit.
^ This is pretty much what I do. I use the pre lubricant NO. 105. Leave the t-belt off. Install the motor. Fill the motor with oil. Then hit the oil pump with a drill for a few seconds. Wait till the oil gets to head.
Once you get it apart you can tell what kind of condition its in. Some times you can get away with just a syncro replacement but if it grinding that bad. You probably messed up, second gear and the hub sleeve.
I had a fuel injector connector pop off on me last week. The car sounded just like a Subaru. It was slow as hell because it was only running on 3 cylinders.
Get the GSP axles from Advanced Auto Parts. There brand new units no re man parts! I have like 50 launches on them and have no issues yet. There also life time warranty!
Def get the rods resized if you going to install arp rod bolts. Is the price of $140 labor include pressing in the wrist pin, installing arp hardware, and resizing the rods? If it includes everything that is not a bad price.
Might have more then one issue with the drive shaft. Check out this video. Its a 3 part section. Did you set up the pre load on the u-joint correctly? There are different size c-clips that hold the u-joint in place!Driveshaft 101 - Parts, Tools & Tips - YouTube
That video does not help much. Way to much wind noise. With the car parked try pulling up on the wheel well and see if you can duplicate the noise. May need a friend to help you out. If you can duplicate the noise with the car parked or on jack stands will make it a lot easier to diagnose.
Its been a few years sense I ordered a new tial waste gate. Are you sure it comes with a full set of springs? Meaning multiple different springs. Im pretty sure it just comes with one spring. But I may be wrong.
