haha you crack me up, i do believe i read that you need to lose 60 lbs, ya, 20 lbs heavier..100% fat. you think a guy that fat and looks like a fairy with his stringy hair can bench 225. not a chance, it takes a long time to work your way up to that bench and you did it in what 2 weeks? and...

i agree, i realized after 1 build it was foolish. these cars arent really all that great for drag, granted there is some fast cars out there, but when your making over 150 hp per cylinder, its hard not to trash stuff.ive never had an axle snap on me, even leaving at 5k on a transbrake

i got the car and could barely make it the 6 miles to my home, and not once did i ever do 30 plus psi haha, i like to see you make up stories to make yourself sound good. i got the car and drove it home, and put a wideband in right away. i came out pretty far ahead as well, i paid 850 for the...

i live in one of my dads rental, with his shop behind it. i was instucted that as long as i live here, there is not to be another 4 cylinder that enters it lol

ya right lol, set your timing, set ## floats, and mess with your mixture screws. easy as pie. and jet changes take 2 seconds.plus since im using a widebandd ill have it tuned in like an hour.you probably used an edelbrock carb. they have no business making carbs, they are absolute...

it was lol, i got it together and idled at like 1600 no matter what i did. i did have dsmlink v3 also along with a wideband and all that. i should have just listened to my dad and taken it to buschur racing (which is an hour from here) to get straightened out. to this day i regret it. as it...

as stated above i only used the best parts, i invested over 12k in my one and i ended up trading it bc it ran like s**t. at least with a chevy there is no timing belt to slip or snap. or rub.

i didnt go hog wild with them and i put the time and money to make them reliable. i bought all oem stuff and name brand only. no ebay crap. i sold my first one to a buddy that has put 20k miles on it after i sold it and its still kicking with over 220k miles on itnot a chance lol, i still...

i love the body style, dad has a 72 chevelle that i love and a 80 camaro which im in love with. but i dont have the kind of money to buy one and make it as fast as this.the body style isnt all that bad, since its a 91 it has the ground effects which help a lot and a staggered rim size and...

i finally had enough of the dsm money pit, over the past 3 years i have owned 5 and only 1 was reliable. only because i didnt touch it aside from bolt ons. my teal 96 went to the crusher after i parted it out inside out. im really impressed that i parted it out for twice the value of the...

i used old diminion trucking to ship my engine, but be prepared, it cost me 485 to ship it from ohio to utah(basically across the country)and they quoted me 251,

being a ball bearing turbo you will have to send it back to fp, i just sold my 3065 on here, the guy said he had a 3052 that blew and fp qouted him 900 for the rebuild.

my dad did this with his chevelles motor. the headgasket blew from the nitrous and crossfired between cylinders and it looked just like that but through the block and head surface....good luck on the expensive fix:thumb:

Firing order should be 3214

When I picked the motor up it was still in the car and got to hear it run and all that. The guy pulled the motor in front of me also.I verified true tdc by using a screwdriver down number 1 cylinder after being off at the crank on my last motor.And I pulled the lower timing cover and...

it was a brand new oem belti pulled all 4 plugs and nothing wrong with the plugs, i didnt look down the cylinders thoughit was a metal snap and both cam dowels were straight up and ALL of my marks lined up, thats why im at a lossI also reinstalled the cams and the exhaust cam when i...

i cant get the gear off... even with a 800ft/lb impact... i didnt build the motor, it was one i had just picked up. i did verify that it was at true tdc. If im able to get the crank gear off, what would i be looking for? a snapped or missing woodruff key?

i just swapped a 2.0 out for the 2.3l i was having issues with. the engine is a stock longlblock with hks 264/272s. it still has balance shafts and all.the engine ran for about 5 seconds, made a very loud snap( like shooting a .22) and died instantly. the only thing i could see that was out...

i beg to differ, the more fuel you have the longer the fuel burns before you see detonation. so the difference between 1600 and 2150s is pretty large. you are saying that no change in boost level from those two injectors, more timing could not be run? i disagree

the bigger injector you run, you can run more timing/boost before seeing knock. so go big or go home:thumb:

what would give you the idea that they are rare? they are all over the place. anyways yes the 101200s that comp cams make are identical in every way. so if you are looking into them and are going for price, find a used set in the classifieds

Sounds like the maf plug isn't plugged in all the way

Your injectors are too big. Maft can only compensate for 650s max, if you get a safc with the maft you can tune for the 880s.

so i picked up a 6 bolt motor 1g trans clutch set up and everything from the turbo to the injectors were given to me. even 2 1g radiators and fan assemblies all for 450 bucks. i got to hear the motor run and the guy pulled it all in front of me. i will be installing this engine within the next...

Most def a boost leak

I just eyeballed it, for the 140bucks I had in gaskets I thought id chance it.. I also discovered my rings were shot as well, ill post a video later of that. I just wanted the car to make it through the winter. Ill just pull the motor and find a junkyard 6 bolt to get me through the winter while...

I used a straighedge and it appeared to be perfectly flat...Let's say the hg is sealed woukd a crack be causing this?

yes i cleaned the surfaces and used copper spray. the head was flat and the previous mls gasket didnt appear to be blown at all. i also looked for cracks between valves but nothing... the cooling system is getting pressure from somewhere?i decided im just going to sell my hks cams and a few...

you will be fine, dont let anothers stupidity rub off on you ROFL you can do this and will be perfectly fine

you are 100% correct, you could always take a phillips screwdriver and take the cover off and zero the knobs out as well:thumb:

update-changed the headgasket and used a felpro composite gasket torqued to 95ft lbs with moly lube. i put a 180 stat on and changed the water pump.after i filled the radiator up and started it for the first time with the radiator cap off the coolant started pouring out where the cap...

umm where would one find this thermometer?ROFLthe exhaust being hot is most likely from the headgasket pushing coolant causing it to run lean, which in turn raises egt's

thanks a lot man:)luckily i have a heated garage:thumb:thank you, it wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt so time consuming:pi also wanted to ask you bogus, am i able to loosen the head studs and retorque maybe 5 to 10 ft lbs more and see if that takes car of it or is the gasket gone? the...

if you do go with xtd get the stage 4 unsprung. i am also looking into the clutch and the reviews say do not get a spung disc because of the springs popping out. also a stage 4 will be a little overkill since you are mostly stock, but if you intend on 400hp, i say why not. hope this helps, even...

most def headgasket, i had same symptomshttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/419113-another-overheating-thread.htmlactually just did the compression test this morning. good luck:thumb:

heat works very well. im going to be pissed if its a headgasket:barf:since its fluctuating i will add coolant and let it idle until the thermostat opens(if it does) and let the air pocket( if there is one) work itself out. as long as those turn out well and a compression test and leakdown...

ok so i just got plates and all that like 2 days ago. today i drive the car for the first time across town, i get about 1 mile from the college and cel comes on and the temp gauge is about 2/3 up, pull into the school and i can hear the coolant boiling. i figure what the hell by the time classes...

so your bov was vented to atmosphere?if so that was most likely 99% of your problem

great info man, like i said i havent tuned with link before. would it be safe to change the values to 11.5 all the way across or should i make a gradual transition into 11.5 like starting at 12.2 or 12.5 and in the middle hold 11.5 across.it would be awesome if someone in the area could...

ive been able to grow a full beard since 17 so now that im almost 20 i will def be shaving. cant grow the mustache so i would look amish, with a skank stashROFL although if i dont leave a 5 oclock shadow look i look 12 :|

i recently traded my auto 2.3l to keiya for his 2.3l manual talon. changed a few things around the mods are 2.3 stroker(8.7:1 pistons) hks 264/272 cams head studs mls hg stock 2g mani 14b turbo 2g mas fmic 1g crushed bov fic 750s walbro 255(no afpr yet) mbc aem wideband boost is...

these are way too big for your set up. they are comparable to 288s the 101300s are comparable to 280s. they are the same cams as fp as well. the 300s are the fp 3s and 200s are the fp2s. stick with 272s if your doing a lot of street driving

whats wrong with motegis? im in the market for a set of rims and kinda like those mr7s but the evos look good too;)

the fp 3052 flows 52 lbs/minwith that being said its a completely different can of wormsalthough its said to be a GREAT pump gas turbo

that is legit how it happened. he's the one who said it was the blower motor vacuum ROFL i even had a good friend that works at chrysler get me the service manual, so i could do the vacuum lines. That was the only one not accounted for.ROFL

I agree 100 percent... the most I've seen secondhand with this turbo is 571awhp, now if he was fwd or on a dynojet he could reach 600... otherwise you will probably not be able to reach 600with this turbo. Yes the turbo flows 65 lbs/min, rule of thumb 10hp per lb/min. 650hp at the flywheel...

fix your leaks and it will run perfect guaranteed:thumb:

thisthe fp 3065 is rated at 65 lbs per min so IF you can hit 600whp that would be maxing that turbo out

that is not what he is asking at all...you will want it to span the entire windshield and yes have it curved to contour the windshield, otherwise it wouldn't look right

If its in the same part of the harness as the tps then its the mdp sensor.
