    Who all is pushing boost on stock 420a internals?

    I dont mean to DIS anyone but in regards to this quote above... How many people with any type of turbo car keeps it stock? So it really dosent make since to try to compare these mods with stock turbo cars in my opinion. With that being said, I know that it may be a big deal to go out and buy a...

    292 camshafts mpg decrease

    100% correct... You are talking about "you dont care about street-able" Unless this is a all track car you really need to consider street ability! It would be horrible to buy and install these cams and have to idle the car at 1200-1500 rpm with hardly any vacuum ( low idle vacuum means horrible...

    Passing Inspection in MD with a 3" Turbo Back

    I think the big cams (which keeps both valves open longer at the same time) is causing most of your emissions problems. Sometimes you can get by with some adjustable cam gears. With the adjustable gears you want to take some of that overlap out. This will give you a better running car but at the...

    Engine stalls when the clutch is pressed and the car is moving???

    No grinding, it just seems like the tranny needs quite a bit of time to slow down before it allows me to shift from first to second.. The clutch is adjusted with more throw and it only happens in the 1st to 2nd shift. The fluid is new MT 90 and its at the proper level. If you look at my second...

    Engine stalls when the clutch is pressed and the car is moving???

    Negative cable is good... I have no charging issues.. Is there a way to set my rolling idle speed up higher using dsmlink? That sounds like my problem, once rolling the car cannot keep a consistent idle speed with no load on the engine... :confused:Check out this engine stall log.. If you can...

    Engine stalls when the clutch is pressed and the car is moving???

    Thats some great advice... @ using the idle clamp.. I never enabled that. My BOV is recirculated.. It just dosent make any sense to me. Why at idle I can press my clutch in and never have any issues but as soon as I pull off to say 20mph and press and hold the clutch in the car dies.... wtf?I...

    Engine stalls when the clutch is pressed and the car is moving???

    Hey everyone... I have a problem with my car. My car stalls whenever im moving/rolling along and depressed the clutch. As the car rolls along (clutch pedal depressed, speed doesnt matter 20mph or 80 mph it always stall ) the RPMs drops to 900, then drops to ZERO no matter how fast or slow you...

    What causes the shifter of a manual trans to not stay centered... in neutral?

    Thanks for the responses.. @ Tim, the Shifter spring is okay.. I have to check the cables... I have noticed that since changing to the higher shifting point..(8k rpm) Its harder to shift from first to second... :aha: I have a Competition alum flywheel and a south bend clutch setup. Any ideas on...

    question about welded center differential

    Hello everyone, I had this problem and it turned out to be my front brake calipers were frozen. When I let the car sit over night I guess the pressure would bleed off but after going for a spin they would slowly start to get tighter and tighter... I hope this helps you out.... Check the rears as...

    What causes the shifter of a manual trans to not stay centered... in neutral?

    What causes the shifter of a manual trans to not stay centered... in neutral? You know how when shifting from 2nd to 3rd you can push straight up because the shifter has a "dead zone", if you want to call it that, in nuetral (center). And if like you put it in nuetral, then pull it to the side...

    Weired electrical problem with the tach and speedo

    I have a problem with my car and its a problem I've never seen. When I start my car I have noticed that when I rev the motor the speedo moves even though I'm standing still in neutral.If the car is idling, the speedo stays on zero. I bought this car a while ago and I noticed some butchery to the...

    Can the crank and rod bearings be replaced in a motor with no bearing failure issues? I wanted to just freshen up my bottom end. Thanks

    2g intake modifications

    @ the air vents in the hood... You could buy some of that car door edge guard and install it around the cutout.. It would give a better apearance.. Its not too expensive and it would definitely look better.. Let me know how the idea work if you decide to try it... Corey

    6* of Timing to eliminate knock! Experts please Help!

    Hello, I had knock problems for a very long time. I was only able to run about 7degrees in the upper rpm ranges. I tried a bunch of different things but nothing really worked and I could not figure out what the problem was. Recently, I took the motor and trans out and I removed the head from...

    Exhaust questions????

    Has anyone made 500hp at the wheels with a metallic substrate cat? I know the norm is to ditch the cat but I just hate that god awful smell that get into your clothes when you drive a catless car. I have a 3" Magna flow version of the substrate cat and its brand new. Last question, will it pass...

    ECMlink "no response received" im going insane.

    Hello, I had a issue like your having before. I use a HP computer though, my problem was my accessories drivers that were installed on the computer. For example, I had a blue tooth adapter connected to my USB port so that I could beam my pictures, etc.. information from my cell to the computer...

    Removing motor and leaving tranny in car questions...

    I was thinking when you take it out, The upwards pulling of the engine hoist is causing the belt side of the engine to tilt upwards and the trans side to tilt downwards. :hmm: I believe that would cause the easy out... If I had a floor jack jacking up the trans so that I could get the same angle...

    Removing motor and leaving tranny in car questions...

    I Did a search but did not find a answer. Is it a common thing to remove the engine and leave the tranny in the car? I have a 5sp gst model and I dont really feel like messing around with the axles and hub bearings if I dont have to. For those that have done this, was it a real hassle putting...

    Turbo lag

    I don't have access to my laptop right now but how does your timing look from idle to around 3 grand? If it's really low like the factory setting (0 degrees of timing while under the boost curve.) It's probably not a timing issue but, some dsmers like to turn the timing up as if the car didn't...

    Runs lean at idle..

    I remember reading somewhere on these forums that if your car Idles very lean the ECU's internal capacitors maybe starting to leak. You would have to remove the ECU from the car, open it up and check the "caps" out. If they are leaking you will have to send the ECU out to ECM Link for service. I...

    Pumpgas Tuning: 1g head vs 2g head

    I went out tonight and did some tuning? Guess what I found?..... FUEL!!! I had my fuel trim set to deliver 11.5 air to fuel ratio.. That had me with about 4 counts of knock in the 5k to 7k rpm range (In that range I was only at 7 degrees of timing so the computer would pull about 2-3 degrees...

    timing how much to pull and when

    Timing is usually pulled when one encounters engine knock. if anything, I would be adding timing until the point of knocking and then start retarding it some to get rid of the knock in the areas knock is picked up by your sensor. that way u will make the most power. make sure you have the...

    WOT tuning

    @ Dert.... I dont know if you read my post about "knocking afther knock sensor replacement" post. Im in a similair situation when trying to run about 20lbs I have my timing really retarded. Its about 10 degrees and most of the time its around 8-9 degrees. Just like u said, when the timing is...

    Clutch Soft Suddenly

    Looking at the pressure plate it seems that one side was making good contact and the other side wasn't. When the trans was installed were the pressure plate bolts torqued in the correct sequence with a torque wrench and did you gradually draw the pressure plate to the flywheel while torquing it...

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    I did the free rev test and as soon as I tap the gas I get knock. If I gradually accelerate to the 5000 rpm red line there is no knock present. I have a couple of files that will show you what Im talking about.. I turned the boost down to 10-11 range and I was able to get the timing back up to...

    slave cylinder problem? constantly slipping clutch

    The restrictive part you are talking about is there to control how fast the fluid returns to the reservoir. If it is removed, as soon as you release the clutch pedal after a shift the clutch reacts instantly. When I removed mine, I notice in between shift (especially in the lower rpm ranges) I...

    slave cylinder problem? constantly slipping clutch

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    Installed it myself, I removed it and then i wrapped the threads with teflon tape. I then thightened it by hand and gave it a little snug and i still got knock.The turbo is internally gated. I will rev the car in neutral to about 4k rpm to see if i have knock and then I will see if i can...

    Clutch Questions

    Well, the pressure plate is the real "holding force" behind any clutch.If I were you I would borrow the money and order the right parts first.It always seems to workout better when u do it right and buy the correct parts for the way u drive and your HP level! Install the new set up and be done...

    slave cylinder problem? constantly slipping clutch

    WAIT, HOLD UP! You 2 need to do some reading.. The problem of the clutch falling to the floor is a classic. I had the same problem and there were a lot of parts thrown at fixing it. Whenever you have a clutch fork that can't be pushed over to the driver's side of the car by hand. Its usually...

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    Sounds good but I cant lower my turbo any more. The actuator must have a 20 lbs spring in it so im screwed. I have the mbc in the lowest setting and im still getting 20lbs.

    car bogs,low timing,2g crank or simulated?

    Do you know if the ECU is stock or has the info on it modified or reflashed to someone elses tune? It could be in a limp mode because of the engine code.

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    Thanks, I dont have acces to race fuel ,but I could mix some 108 octane booster with 1/4 tank of 93 octane. Should I leave the timing where it is (7-8* at 4k rpm and from 5k up the timing advances to about 10* max by 7500rpm)? Should I drop the boost down to 18lbs? or should I go lower?

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    At work right now, i will post a log tomorrow.. The biss screw and throttle shaft is leaking. I did a pressure test today. On my laptop how do i log knock counts?

    Engine knock after knock sensor replacement WTF??

    I just replaced my knock sensor because of my previous knock issues. I still have engine knock! My internals are all stock etc for my comp cams stage 2s. Is it possible that my stock valves are floating causing the engine knock in the 4000rpm range and higher? I have the BR8ES spark plugs and Im...

    When running 26 PSI boost with a 20g is it normal to only have 3-5 degrees of timing?

    Ok, I reset the timing by moving the crank 1 tooth retarded and now the car runs much better and the balancer is lined up with the "T" on the timing tab... I replaced my plugs with BR8ES cause after examing the BPR8ES, They seemed to stick out further into the combustion chamber then the BR8ES...

    When running 26 PSI boost with a 20g is it normal to only have 3-5 degrees of timing?

    So, you think its the spark plugs? I changed from the BPR6 to Bpr7 gapped at .023 and I still have knock. I think its my timing at the crank.. I tried aligning the dot on the crank sprocket to the so call pointer on the block and it seemed dead on but when I would put the harmonic balancer back...

    A quick question about lower balancer timing mark...

    Thanks, when I checked my timing at the harmonic balancer initially, the notch was to the right of the "T". After doing my timing over, now it lines up with the "T" and the car runs much better... Thanks again

    A quick question about lower balancer timing mark...

    When setting up timing at the balancer, where should the notches on the balancer point to on the Timing tab 10*,5* or "T"? I have everything lined up cams, oil pump and balance shafts. When I put the balancer back on I noticed its a little in front of The "T" ( off the scale) Is it suppose to be...

    When running 26 PSI boost with a 20g is it normal to only have 3-5 degrees of timing?

    @ VETTE_50... when I checked the timing at the crank with the the timing marks on the cams pointing directly at each other. I noticed the crank timing mark was passed the "T" on the timing cover.WTF The timing cover has 15*,10*,5* and "T" on the timing cover. what Im saying is the pointer was...

    When running 26 PSI boost with a 20g is it normal to only have 3-5 degrees of timing?

    Just the items listed in my Signature... I'm kinda wondering, whats the purpose of buying a 20g or any (larger) turbo if you are limited by the fuel. I think I would have been better off getting a 16g with all the bells and whistles and running that. It seem like a lot of us want a 400hp car but...
