    What fittings for quick turbo installs ?

    Go to advanced auto buy some 18mm (at least mine were 18mm, you might have to bring the turbo's in like I did to match em up) barbed brass water fittings, and then some rubber hose and clamps... Both will have similar fittings and both accept the rubber line...

    Alrighty thank you for your input... Like I said I never ran a BB before so... just wanted to make sure everything was ok. Comp also sent me an inline filter and an oil restrictor and the restrictor they sent me, the hole inside it is only about the size of a pin head... duno if thats normal or...

    420a help not sure what to do

    Listen im sure the timing belt jumped time. Anyways take the good head and put it on the "bad motor" assuming cylinder number 1 dosnt have a hole in the top of the piston. If so swap pistons out. good luck

    Accessories turn on but no Fuel pump or starter

    yeah I ave a suggestion.... check the crank sensor right under the alternator. See if its plugged in first if not then its prob dead. Had this happen to me and thats all it was. Starter would not work and fuel pump would not turn on. I hope this helps!!

    Shoulda done this awhile ago. from MN

    is it jumping time? are you referring to bent valves?
  17. smrogers5771

    Need help, timing jumped, bent valves??

    yes. If you can crank the engine over by hand feeling a little bit of pressure on the compression stroke I would imagine or at least it sounds ok maybe just a tooth off at the bottom? pull the cover off see put it in TDC at the bottom and then see if the timing marks up top on the cams are lined...

    Dropped my new piston on floor :( Run or?

    yeah man I would not run it... You may have actually changed the way the piston could behave. It may tear a rip in the cylinder wall or something. This may sound stupid but you may have changed the rotating mass (not by weight) but by angle.. think of your engine unbalanced.... this could and I...
  19. smrogers5771

    Need help, timing jumped, bent valves??

    ahh I would not turn the cams if you have the belt off unless the motor was in top dead center. What you should have done was with the timing belt still on should have turned the motor over by hand, until top dead center was located on the crank. If you found TDC and seen the cam marks didnt...
  20. smrogers5771

    Need help, timing jumped, bent valves??

    tell ya an easier way... haha i got a lot of experience in this as well. Pull off the valve cover, and look at the springs... If they are loose and when u touch them if they fall out of place with the cams still bolted down then yeah you definitely have bent valves..... I done this before...
  21. smrogers5771

    what to do? no title?

    ok listen I have a lot of experience with this... If the car is from NY then you will have to contact a DMV or notary public within the state and do a VIN search now they wont be able to tell you the name of that person; however, you can ask them to send a notice to the owner of the car and it...

    Do yourself a favor... get a set of accel's 36lb injectors (390cc), get an afc and then tune. I was running 36lb injectors with a T3/T4 60-1 or the super 60 trim at 22PSI and fuel was at +1 to +3 throughout the whole RPM band and not once did it go lean... Trust me it was a big turbo
