in the biz alot is luck, and what you drive and who you know and where you have been and how pretty your resume is. I just switched from midas to a import shop and its a small shop. they dont care about ase stuff or tech school, alot depends on your tools and a fancy box.
alot of these so called mechanics could'nt even pass as lube techs. they would get a eco tech motor and be scratching their heads looking for the filter lol, and alot of cars are going to that. I hope it doesnt catch on personally but oh well.
tech school is great if you're 18 and think you wanna change your oil lol. or want to understand how a/c systems work. they take your $ and give you the basics. People in the biz know if you're green or not and don't want you if you are. Its sad but its true. and Wyo tech is way more reputable...
My girlfriend loves my slow pile, she drives a jetta lol.
ps dont feed trolls.
water seeks its own level....Birds of a feather flock together, or should I say turds? lol
Damn tweekers with black teeth lol
sadly they will hire the wyotech kid over you any day. I spent my time in tech school, its all a joke, dont think youre going to make it just because you whent to school. most real techs have never had formal training. and in the industry all they care about is ASE certs not what tech school you...
He said the ends point in. He has all the stock piping as well. It may not be worth it if there's a $100 ebay direct fit. I haven't even looked at what most people are using for a fmic. I've poked around on here a bit. I still don't understand whats so hard about the 4g63 swap on a 2g, but again...
I still haven't done anything yet. I'm kinda considering getting a wrecking yard motor. If I need to bore the block out and turn the crank things will add up fast. and a good block might be cheaper leaving me money for boost parts.
By the way does anyone know if a stock srt-4 neon intercooler...
yeah that makes sense. I have seen a 1g go for alot but they are worth $2600 in pristine shape from what I can tell. My car in pristine shape is $4k but i say its worth like $3k I paid $1500 2 years ago but the p.o. most likely knew the trans was bad and the head gaskets were fixed with a bottle...
Im just bored with it and its a real cramped engine bay. I'm a tech, and at home the headgaskets took 30 hours i can do a mustang gt in 8 its just a painI'm passing on this car now my cars too nice for a cooking turbo car. But I still want a awd car:)...
i geuss the spare is a small 16 and the extra is off a evo 8 but he was supposed to be throwing in a holset hx35 which he seems to be trying to keep now so I may back out as I know my car needs nothing but just gets bad gasmilage 12-15 its a high 13 car as it sits, ran low 14s stock with a blown...
He said he put the spare 14b on it and it runs better, but said with the evo turbo it had a afr of 20 so he switch them. i told him I'm not taking the car without the evo turbo because I don't want a 14b. He was okay with that but doesn't have the money to get up here now I guess. I want the...
Ok so here's what happen, he got on it going to pick up his friend and the turbo went south, black smoke he said. He pulled it off the car, sent me a pic of the broke off fin and had his buddy bring out a evo big 16 turbo, new, but after hours of messing with it he said it runs bad and has a...
The intake is a K&N aftermarket, smog and egr delete and tuned out, throttle body coolant bypass. Walbro 255 HP, SLP manual fan controller Mostly all in the tune more than anything.
So can I see the serial without pulling the charge pipe?
It's supposed to have the big 16 and the last owner added the heat shields due to the alternator getting cooked. He says the po claimed it was a big 16 and that it was tuned, swapped or whatever by English Racing. This guy hasn't done...
Can you tell if that's a 16g just by the picture? What marking will the 16g have?
And there's 4 noticeable bolts on the rear diff?I will be looking at the car here in a few hours so I want to make sure it's all legit.
I thought these cars were not speed density? but I see no maf or air vane meter
Thanks guys. Ill be trying to contact English Racing, it's possible they worked on it. Location is close enough. He says it has a 4 bolt rear. How can I tell? Also says it has LSD?
Trading my 94 z28 camaro for a 91 T.S.I. awd 5 speed; supposedly with a galant vr4 6 bolt motor swap, 4 bolt rear lsd, 5 speed, spare turbo,manual boost controller, apexi turbo timer, body has 150k. I've been lookn for a awd car for a minute, supposedly this car has a big 16 turbo? Whatever that...
Yea but did you switch it? you cant just look at a injector and tell unless you bench test it for proper flow, it could be shorting. The specific misfire is what I would key in on. What's that cylinder plug look like?
I was reading this since the car is in the process of getting boosted and I don't want to run mega squirt. I don't think it would be easy to run or wire a evo ecu but it would make tuning somewhat easier. I'm also looking at a trade for a 99 gst so I'm doing my research before I do the trade.
This one is blue tooth no cable, I have seen a cable version. It has worked on every car to pull a live data stream to my phone. I was just curious since I haven't really tried it with my laptop since I only have tuning software for my camaro. I forget what does VAG stand for exactly. I notice...
