i've heard of this happening on fwd cars when the tank is low... just a thought

deff. looks cool

^^ thats my plans i already have eagle rods and a spare block workin on saving for pistons now.... until then im slowly pushing my stock 6bolt to the limit lol

i have a aem uego no problems yet and love the gauge

after i put in my fmic it would want to run hot till i put the 2nd fan back in

or bad ground

it was low about a cup of water the first time around, i drove it from my buddy's house to mine (about a 2 minute drive) i just went out and checked it and its just a little bit below the rad. cap housing... maybe its fine idk im about to leave to work ill check it when i get off later

after warmed up it should cycle between 20-80 i believe, my car wouldn't idle right when my front o2 wasnt working

well i was driving to work yesterday and i was at a light and i looked down at my gauges (i like to check them frequently driving a dsm and all) and my temp gauge was about 3/4 of the way up!!! around then the light turned green so i took off and the gauge dropped back down to normal (1/2 way)...

it takes me longer to pull my accessories than to pull the head... damn these fat ass hands!

im having the same problem but my a/f is 14.5 cruising around and it will jump lean randomly and spit and spudder a little i wonder if its a similar problem??

im not gettin any wheelhop just tons of spinning lol im really just interested in testing one out cause the tranny im pulling out of the car is going to eventually get a shep stage 2 rebuild and i traded like 50 dollars worth of stuff for this current tranny so im throwing it in with a cheap...

i'm not really looking for the full lsd quite yet im eventually gonna go with a shep stage 2 trans with the wavetrac lsd but for now i have to pull my tranny to stick a clutch in there and i was gonna throw in a lsd insert

i have been searching and searching and maybe i am just tired but i cant seem to find anything but phantom grip and like 2 no-name lsd inserts on ebay i've heard decent things about the bmt lsd insert but i cannot find a link to purchase one???? also my tranny is a 95...

i just did mine a few months ago it said 80 with arp moly lube.... i did 30-60-85.... been fine for months now

thanx man i had nitrous on my 83 cuttlass with a 355 chevy i would just wait till i slammed 2nd and about when it would want to stop spinning i would hit the nitrous on lol

been lookin and looking and cant find a definitive answer i have a wally 255 and a fuel lab afpr it has 2 inlets on the sides and one outlet coming out of the bottom, i have the line coming from my fuel rail on the right side and my plan was to tap into the inlet on the left side, does this...

same here i went with the link anyway and you can just disable random misfires.... i've heard that unhooking the tps helps...

let me know

i might go that route then but i dont know anyone around here who can weld aluminum..., my other option was to buy one of these adapters and put it in my intercooler pipe?? i used one on a old honda i had back in the day it worked out good but since my car is turbo'd i guess some jb weld would...

to start off i was wanting to get some opinions on whether or not to drill and tap the throttle body elbow for my nozzle??? in your opinion is it thick enough??? has anyone done this with/without a problem??and for my question i have a fuel lab afpr on my car and it has and extra port on the...

its a possibility but i know for sure that on multiple occasions i was cruising around and partially blew off a intercooler pipe and the car ran/idled great, and showed full boost, just didnt have any power when in boost.

still could have a boost leak have you done a boost leak test??? i made my tester for like ten bux just gotta hit a home depot up

check your couplers

installed a new starter today and vwa'la its alive!!! i think of it as an omen because afterwards i did a boost leak test (always do one afer workin on the car) and when i went to put the vaccum back on my waste gate the thing snapped right off its stand. i have the ebay 16g i've had it for a...

yeah on mine it has this one monster wire that turns into a couple black wires and some wires surrounding them (im guessing to prevent interference)

mine was doing the same thing one of those little black wires down where it hooks to the ecu was busted just a thought....

mine was doing that i took off the tensioner and the pulley was loose, tightened it up used a little lock tite and good to go, just make sure that the idler pulley itself isnt garbage a new one dont cost too much

i just pulled the starter and of course it still works just fine, i jumped the main + to the solenoid kick on and held the starter on a good ground and it works?? im starting to think i have a bad ground but i got a ground coming right off the battery straight to starter bolt, and this is the...

there is no need for me to go with a push button start right now, im getting good ignition power to the starter relay when i turn the key to start, and i always thought optima's were over priced regular ole batteries but i finally broke down and bought one when i had my mud truck on 50 inch...

lol yeah i hear ya thats why i checked to make sure it was getting power to the solenoid from the ignition and i have a optima red this thing should be winging over something fierce

this car has been kicking my a$$ lately in the starting department.... i replaced the starter about 4 months ago and then it slowly started wanting to not start on me... but randomly?? i would hit the key and get no response from the starter, but then if i jiggled the key sometimes it would...

i used a felpro when i put my head on with arp head studs torqued them the same way you did havent had any problems 20psi for 6 months... but the original reason for hg replacement was the exhaust stud that the previous owner and reamed in there finally caused a little crack and oil would spray...

i had the same problem... in my case it was a small leak from the turbo drain leaking onto my exhaust and then the guy i had got the car from didnt have the pvc system installed so every now and again some oily sludge would burp out of there...

you will be safe with the jb weld just make sure you prep it right, its not like its under alot of pressure or anything....

jb weld or quick steal just clean the area and scuff it up a biti've used that quick steal on everything from gas tanks to radiator leaks carburetors etc...

looks like a spun bearing.. if you could get the bearing and all the bearing material off the rod i would think it could be re used, but is the crank scored up???

when my car does this, i usually just blew off a coupler, but its still hooked up and running just producing a massive boost leak.

beat it like a cop

right now my bov is tightened too much and it started doin that...

so did you re-use the head gasket????

when i got my car it only had the one fan on the drivers side of the radiator (the 16g j-pipe wouldnt clear the fan), and the stock side mount, but after i put the fmic in i started having random overheating issues i got a 14inch slim fan and put it on the other side of the radiator and now it...

offer the guy with the talon 1300 bux say it runs like chit but you still want it lol

thats what i was about to say lol it dont matter just drill a hole in it and screw in a zerk fitting!

my car had a massive leak at the throttle body.... just a thought, and yes on the mbc thats a breather hole its normal to have a leak there

they may not have the crank walk issue, but they still dont have the massive rods that the 6 bolts come with!!!! but if your not mechanically inclined i wouldnt attempt the swap....

your bov could be bad and recirculating air back into your air intake?

to get this out of the way.... why in the world would you keep driving it knowing it had no oil pressure and was overheating??????personally i would go ahead and do the 6 bolt swap they are tougher motors all around in my book...and if your head isnt too badly warped you might be able to get...

was it only the one cylinder??? sorry to hear man i know how that goes

mine hits full boost (20 right now) at around 4k it was higher though i had a couple boost leaks and my waste gate was shot, i had to get a whole new hot side of the turbo...
