    7 spark plugs just a bandaid?

    12 or lower. WOT 93 oct you want to shoot for 11.3-11.7 max 12+ is way too lean for pump. E85 eh ok but 93 11.3

    boost and wastegte

    Your factory guage is an estimation of boost calculated from your maf its not an actual measurement of boost and will nevrr really tell you accurately what boost your running.

    Question about timing.

    Sounds like you didnt line up your timing before you removed the belt, so before you put the head on make sure cylinder 1 is at the top aka top dead center (TDC) and the dowels on your cam gears are at top. If you try to do this after you put the head on there is a very good chance you'll bend...

    low vac while crusing

    If your on stock turbo stock cams cruising 65-70 in 5th that sounds about right. The 14b turbo spools around 2500-3000rpm which is where you'd be cruising at that speed, t25 is even less.

    Doing Timing Belt in Milwaukee

    Hot engine, yes. Banging your head against the wall repeatedly causing a concussion and bloody fore head because you just toasted the head gasket and warped the head from the extreme heat knowing you could have prevented it and on top of it your going to have to do the timing belt again to...

    Car alarm

    Auto start car alarms will work on a manual transmission. You just have to trick it into thinking it is an auto in park ie ground out the park input wire with the ebrake wire. Word of advise not recommended. Its prety embarrassing chasing your car across the parking lot because you remote...

    One in a million AWD swap question

    It shouldn't. I had my drive shaft come loose at the rearend once and ended up having to cut it just past the first carrier bearing and drive fwd for a couple months till I could find a new one, never had a problem other than no traction from forgetting I was fwd.

    Bolt at timing cover...can't get it loose

    I use a thin wall 1/4 drive 6 point long socket. You dont get a stright on fit but with the 6 pt you get enough bite you should be able to get it off. You can also use a short 1/4 six point and harbor freight has these nifty adaptors that yoh snap in and can use an open end wrech on for tight spots.

    Low Vacuum but drives great?

    Going with gauge. Sounds like your vacuum line to the guage may be leaking. If you over tighten the compression nut on the back og the guage sometimes it will cut the nylon tube and cause a leak.

    need your input on o2 housing with external wastegate recirculated

    My favorite is the free flow designed merge colector to reduce turbulance, I'm guessing thier talking about the recirc merge and um last time I check 90° flow merger creates turbulance not reduceses lol

    Problem installing DSS driveshaft

    Take the middle u joint apart on the stock drive shaft there is a nut you have to remove then it should all slide apart relatively easily.

    mechanical timing questions

    On the timing belt install thats pretty much it. The cam sensor timing you ground the single wire timing plug on the fire wall and with a timing gun hooked to cylinder 1 plug wire gunning the harmonic turn the cam sensor to set timing to +/- 5° tdc

    MSD dis2 question

    I figured out the previous question, but still have a no idle problem for the guys running the msd. I have narrowed it down to the msd. Recieved my bypass plug finally and with plugged in the car starts, runs, and idles. Unplug it, plug in the msd and no idle. That tells me the ignition wiring...

    new to the tsi but not fun cars bought one tonight

    If when you turned it over it sounded like a free spinning starter you've lost compression. Sounds like the belt A. Gave out or jumped teeth, check the timing and do compression test. B. Turbo glow if you weren't beating the living sh** out of it, and even if you weren't means retard lean air...

    car sputters sometimes pushes black smoke

    Looks like a maf translator and if so I'm guessing it has a gm blow through maf of sorts. Google dsm maf translator tuning and that should help. If you have dsmlink on your car then it need to be set for stock. If its being used to compensate for larger injectors then google it. I'd recomend...

    bov placement with gm maf

    Yes. It needs to before th gm in a blow through unles you have the tial that can be recirculated. When it blows off it will be releasing metered air to the atmosphere. Plus if its before it wont cause a vacuum issue, but you will still need to boost leak test fom the turbo foward.

    1G Engine build - 300+ AWHP

    I have a 93 tsi I daily drove for 10 years 320 hp minimal upgrades no problems. All I had was 720cc injectors, 2g maf, stock 14b @ 24psi (before I get blasted 14b wont last at 24psi I replaced it about every 3 months from over boosting, at $50 a pop used i didnt care, but a 16g or big 16g will...

    MSD dis2 question

    I have istalled a MSD dis2 on my car and can't get idle. Fires up and I can keep it running with steady rpm but will not idle. Question is in the instructions our cars are listed as needing an ignition adapter and before I spend $100 on one I was wondering if the link guys running msd wired in...

    4G63 6-bolt to 7 bolt conversion helpp!

    As long as your 2g has been already prep'd for a 6 bolt a 1g 7bolt is a direct drop. I swapped a 6bolt into my 93 7bolt back when I lost a timing belt on it and didn't have to do anything. They dont have a crank sensor you dont have to rewire the cas and the spark plug firing is the same.

    1G Camshaft rotation

    Cam dowels located near center of sprockets should be top. Marks on gear edge should form straight line through center of gears here a pic. Dont pay attention to the crank mark on my pic. It looks off but i know the crank is TDC on your crank it should be lined 90° to the right forming an L with...

    '77 s30 4g63t

    Had a friend do that with his manifold definatly dropped the intake temps but every time we pulled the manifold we had to retune because of the runner length difference. Made it a pain to get consistent results. Not to mention when you pop your IM off from boost pressure.

    Anyone know what this is???

    Its an ignition kill. Theres a card you slide in it and it allows you to start it. Used to remove them all the time when i would recondition auction cars for a dealership i worked for. Guessing it has 5 or 6 wires coming out of the back of it but only 2 are used one to one side of the starter...

    Pa emssions test

    Had to do the sniffer in texas. By getting the cat hot (aka drive it hard) it help raise the flash temp of the cat burning off more nox and hydrocarbons the bad emissions gasses. New oil will help your engine burn cleaner from the lack of contaminate in the oil being recirculated through your...

    extremely low oil pressure

    Most Fords are actually designed and engineered to run 5/20 (x ford master tech here) check your owners manual. DSM however seem to like the 10(20)/30(40).

    1g upper driver side mount

    The one piece is the best it completely replaces the oem. The 2 piece is an insert that fills in the gaps on an oem. Guessing yours has completely split like all the rest so I'd go 1 piece. Install 1 piece with a press if you dont have access to a press you can make one with 2 washers a bolt and...

    Can cops run my dsm engine serial number?

    Can cops run my dsm engine serial number?

    According to most states emissions laws swapping a 6 bolt in for a 7 bolt is illegal. According law you are not allowed to swap a newer motor out with an older year model motor. Motor has to be same year or newer to be emissions compliant. Good thing they cant tell the difference between them...

    beating a dead horse here ie engine pulling

    Spend 40 a month on small storage unit to clean out and store all the stuff you dont need in your garage to gain side access. That what I did only it was to clean out the 10x20 my car is in to put it back together. Like others said where there a will there is a way.

    Are you getting full boost? When my cat clogged I went from 12psi to 7. Also suffered a huge loss of mpg

    seafoam works! [merged]

    Small word of advise. Seafoam is great in small doses use it too much and it will dry out you seals mainly injector and intake. It will also damage your rings with prolonged use.

    Will Cams Make My Car Shut Off(see inside)

    Are you still using the MAF or are you SD? If your maf make sure you havent clamped your maf too low i did that once on accident and the same thing happened. Its in your air flow tune somewhere. Your engine is seeing more air from the cams and if you haven't tuned for it thats what will happen.

    Cruise control not working after rebuild

    Same thing happened to me when I did my swap make sure the throttle cables are in right in the box. Also check your fuses and grounds. Unplug the connectors and make sure no loose wires or pins in the connectors and put a little dielectric grease in there before reconnecting. When rebuilt my...

    Eclipse GSX restore

    Well done nice build. Keep up the good work.

    98 GS-T Spyder, my very slow build will post pictures along the whole way.

    Not entirely sure on the big deal about the recirc/unrecirc is. I ran a crushed 1g stock bov for the better part of a decade un-recirculated no issues. However I also had no boost leaks and my bov held with no leaks to 35lbs of boost. The only time your blowing unmeasured air is when its open...
