It could be possibly you skipped a tooth on the intake cam, and it is opening too late?
I had this happen when i was putting my timing belt back on, i may have gotten lucky, but all that happened was it would bog down, and run rich as hell. valves/pistons are in ok shape minus the carbon buildup...
not sure how that thread didnt come up in my search, but thnx c2
as far as what i want is a DD that can put the hondas in their place at the lights :sneaky:thnx justin, got any for sale?
:banghead: I've recently lost my job, and now have the free time I need to start on a side project to keep busy until something comes along.I planned on building my engine up to around 500hp this fall, but without a job/income that has been put on hold. So about a week ago, I began...
Resurrection perhaps?I realize its an old thread, but I am actually attempting this. I want to know this engine inside and out before i attempt anything modification wise so I will be rendering a model in solidworks. I just dont have the access to parts for measurements/dimensions.
If anyone...
the Solidworks part file in my last post can be saved as a dxf, but it takes up quite a bit more room, your contacts could probably do it for you if you brought them the filei believe it was mentioned in the other thread by knochgoon24, the clearance on the flat covers barely touches the...
Solidworks part fileEparts modelhow about a merger?
i lost mine to an engine overheat a few months ago.
figured i know a little about solidworks might as well try making one.
after burning myself a few times on the AZ oven, got the dimensions from the VC and got to workthe drawing...
I lived in chandler for the longest time, even once ended up at the InO meet w/o realizing it. Im certain it was one of the 1g tsi's i saw there tempted me to get mine.But for the love of all that are temperamental, finicky, bonkers cars we call DSM's is someone going to organize a West Valley...
I seem to be having the same problem in my 90TSI
almost identical symptoms, except for the stripped pcv
i was thinking it was the clutch or the turbo at first, but after reading this, i may have to clean the mafwhat would be a good way to clean it?
I believe i have seen the valve cover youre referring to on dsmtalk. He did an excellent job.
As for the daunting task, I recently lost my job and just finished my finals so i have quite a bit of free time until i find another job. As an added bonus, my father is an engineer that has been...
I recently got into CAD modeling, and when i saw this thread it sparked a project. I figured if im gonna get better in Solidworks I need practice.
So I created THIS!!!
And by this I mean the renderings attached.I started off with a bit of help from InfiniteGSX and his post here...
Ive searched on a couple occasions and I can't seem to find an answer. Would taking off the rear driveshaft to run the car through emissions be possible?
There arent any awd roller stations within 50 miles of me and the idle test fails me.I've done a couple gas analyzer tests and im just...
I had a problem with a bent key as well
Spent a couple hours stuck at my gf's place because of it...
I was able to hammer my key flat and get it down to ace hardware where they ground me a new keyOne good thing about ace ive found [at least the ones near me]... is theyll help you get the key...
not sure how you 'check' fuel pressure
or what you mean by it
I'm getting 6v on the yellow, 12v on the yellow/blue, and 4v on the white wires for the connectoe and the pump sounds like its running when i listen at the hatch in the trunk
as for the clogged injector i cleaned them out of the...
Thnx grey,
I think I'll stick with the seafoam mainly because ive got a couple cases of itif i can nap for a bit
i'll run through the fuel system when i get up
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:After punching it a couple days ago and feeling the engine bog down. i decided to do a tuneup
before doing anything i ran half a can of seafoam through the intake and threw the rest in the tank just to see if i had a sticky valve or clogged injectorit didnt...
Every new video makes me want to hit the jackpot so i can finally upgrade my Tsi.
I've never taken an AWD car to the strip, but my last trip was in an 89 mustang pushing close to 460rwhp with a t70 and a very conservative tune
im not sure if the launch would be near the same experience but...
Thnx guys
Any suggestions on vc gaskets?
I took a long look and noticed the oil coming from just above the
exh cam and a bad internal water pump seal (oil was covering the coolant coming from the weep hole)
I gonna check the torque on the studs while I'm in there
Any suggestions on other...
The question wasn't just for me, though I was looking at getting a 2g sometime in the near future.
Its for anyone, especially those with a 2g.
If they have an issue it would be good to know what some symptoms would be in order to diagnose it properly.
Thnx for both your suggestions so far, but the leak is on the cyl 1 side of the engineAs for resurfacing the head, no I did not . There was less than .001" in difference across the head surface and .002" across the block surface.The hg is a felpro permatorque. Not sure what the bse is...
I'm glad I found this thread it details possible causes of crankwalk...But how can you actually tell w/o doing a teardown of the engine?
What are the most common symptoms of crankwalk?
I'm not sue what I've done wrong. But it seems serious....I've had an oil leak for about a week now, and can't seem to find where its coming from.
At first it looked like it was coming from the OFH gasket, and being flung by the timing belt around the engine bay. I took some brake cleaner...
Have you checked the injectors themselves?I had cylinders 1/2 go out on me from clogged injector screens. the PO apparently had never changed the fuel filter.
if they are... a slow spray of carb/choke cleaner could be the solution
Im curious to see if you really will turn this mazda into a dragon wagon..
with all your previous builds i think you definitely have the experience/knowledge to coax about 500whp out of that mpv's little 6cylinder
South of the 202... only place you're going to find e85 is at the chevron? Next to wildhorse pass
Though its been months since I've been out there... idk if they still carry itGlad to see you're settling in
We need more 'smart' tuners and less ricer wannabes out hre in the valley...I...
I'm not too certain about the 2g motors, but i was having roughly the same problem with my 90.I was told in a previous post my Cam position sensor/synchro was bad. I replaced it with a junkyard takeoff and my problem cleared up. went from 18mpg to about 26
though i kinda cheated the...
Awesome Series...
I just finished up on your website for the talon, i've got a 90 tsi and i only wish i could get it to your pre 6266 turbo setup.I agree with some others on here, you would do well hosting a Speed episode, or perhaps starting one about DSMs?anyway,
awesome work man
I seem to be having this same problem... except mine is on a 90 talon....
By auto tensikner bolts do you mean the ones for the timing belt or does the 2g use a serpentine?
thats what i was hoping to do, except in phoenix there is 1 junkyard that has a 1g dsm
and its nothing but a rusted shell everything has been stripped off it except one of the doors
Rebuilding the injector so far as i know
is replacing the screen, o-rings and thermal bushing while soaking the injector overnight in some sort of solvent
ive never done it before but my father has, was just wondering if there was any input from the dsm communityand as for replacing the...
Ive had the car nearly 5 months now and the fuel tank inlet for the filler neck has rusted through and clogged my pump, lines and injectors.Whats the best way to Flush the fuel system?
I'll be rebuilding the injectors, is there anything specific i should do when putting them back together?
I'm...
Thanks for all the help guys, i got it running and was driving perfectly until a couple days agoIt has developed a miss on one of the cylinders and i cant seem to locate the problem. At first i thought it was just a bad set of plugs/wires so i replaced them today and to no avail. if anything...
was just about to ask the same thing since the cas is on the pass side of the intake camalso, my motor fires and runs it just runs really rich and from using the timing light as i said in my first post its about 12* before tdc
yes they were both at 1200 but we had to wrench on it a bit to get there... after releasing the tensioner everything was within .003" of the timing marks
(damn my father for being an engineer and needing to measure everything)its not a timing belt issue.... but who knows...
timing plug was grounded, but the idle on this car doesnt go below 1k unless im lettin the clutch out
if it does it bogs and will stall if below 800
i was thinking it was because of the timingalso would the timing being so far retarded cause it to run rich?
