I have a 96 awd tsi with 100k miles on it. There is a strange noise coming from the rear of my car when I am driving. It is kind of like a low humming noise that gets louder as I go faster. At around 30 its really soft but around 70 it gets pretty loud. The noise does not change whenever I...
I should have around 330awhp judging by my quarter mile times. I would suggest getting a 7cm housing and doing a lot of port work, since its free if you have a die grinder. Stick with the stock flapper because once you get more mods your boost will fall down. As for the cams, I would go with...
I think some tuning needs to be done on a dyno. 1000cc injectors can be hard to tune without a wideband O2 sensor.With the thermosdat removed from the housing, the coolant will pass too fast through the radiator, causing the car to overheat. Put the thermosdat back in. Try to flush out...
Check for boost leaks again. Also you can hack your MAS if want an easy fix for fuel cut. Another way is to install injectors and lean it out with an S-AFC.
I doubt they will impound your car, I've been to many car shows and there was a lot of old muscle cars leaving with exhaust cutouts. None of the cops there seemed to care. May depend on your state laws tho.
How did you check for spark? Are you sure you had it grounded good enough? If you took the rpm's high enough you could have floated a valve, which would be easily visible if you took the valve cover off.
No you don't. The 96 heads have the crank angle sensor located by the cam gears. It will be a direct boltin for you. I did this mod already, I really noticed a gain, but also I installed a downpipe and underdrive pulley at the same time, so I wouldn't credit that result.
It doesn't make sence because RRE, Turbochargers.com, and bushcur all sell the EVO 3 GT turbo, from china. I can't honestly say anything about the quality, but I can tell you its a generic turbo, that was reverse engineered from a MHI unit.Here is a link to there website...
I am not quoting from a business, I am quoting from a DSM only site that people like shep, dre, and curt brown frequent on. I'll take there word for it. :thumb:
Your faster than me so that means you know more than me? This comment makes you look even stupider.Did you ever take in effect that maybe I drive this car everyday, and I modified my car to a moderate power level where it would be cheap, reliable, yet still be decently fast on pump gas...
HAHAHA.A sales pitch on a website? Its from a book, I quoted my source. I never said you could not make that much power on a smaller throttle body, although it becomes a major restriction. I am not going to post the entire article.I think a book that was created with help from...
First off, turn down your boost. Second off upgrade your injectors if you want to keep running 20psi. Third, I would try testing for boost leaks. To make a leak tester go to www.vfaq.com. If you are having a problem with misfiring...make sure your plugs are gapped correctly, and again...
The mitsubishi turbo housings were designed in the 80's while the garrett housings were designed in the 60's. I don't understand how the mitsubishi design would be considered old technology here.Did you ever see a PTE housing vs. a full garrett? The full garrett will make more power in...
G-tech doesn't really mean shit. I used a gtech on my car before and it said I had 223hp. I would hope I would have more power than that to run mid 12 second quarter mile times.
Are the new cams you put in hks or crower?I love the idle of hks 272's you can hardly hear any lope in idle. The only difference is the vaccume is around 13" of hg, instead of 20" of hg.
Whenever I turn the wheel in my car lately it makes a loud creaking noise. Kind of sounds like a noise a ball joint would make, although I had the recall performed on my car about 6 months ago for the ball joints. It seems to be coming from the right side more than the left. It does not appear...
The problem is that because you are using an S-AFC as a tuning tool, there are only 2 ranges of adjustment for high and low throttle. I have the same problem with my S-AFC but I learned to deal with it. It will work fine for high throttle and low throttle, but when boosting around 10psi(like...
Agreed. Don't learn this the hard way. But as for the 700-800 you have to realize thats canadian money and is worth around 35% less than american money. I dunno what the conversion rate is right now, but thats what it was when I was in Niagra in August.All I am saying is if you want to...
