I just put my portfueler in for the 2nd time.
I didnt shave down the valve cover enough the first.
pm me with any questions.
I could do it in my sleep now.Also here a few pics that I took of the install.

There is an issue of Cycle World that came out a few months ago talking about how dyno shops will fool customers. I wish I would have bought it.Things like using different gears before and after mods to exaggerate differences.
Riding the brake on decelleration is supposed to give a higher...
So I have been running my portfueler for a few months now and even though it has ran good, it hasnt ran great. These past couple of weeks I decided to get underneath the car and take everything off and check what might be wrong.Ever since the install it has always had a bad cold idle. It...
Seriously, the adding more nipples thing is the best way to go.Its not that hard to remove the top of the intake. Just remove the bolts from underneath, get yourself a new gasket, and have at it.Go to the hardware store and get a 1/4 NPT tap and the accompaning drill and just add as many...
I have been having a wierd idle ever since I installed all my upgrades (PF, new TB, 3" exahust etc) and I have never been able to track it down until now.
When cold the idle would surge up and down. When hot it would idle fine. I attributed it to the egr pipe being removed to accomodate the...
That is not a problem, there is a guy (blackmagic) on 2gnt that went from a completely stock engine to a Hahn stage 5(forged internals, portfueler, 20g) all at once. You just have to make sure and keep the wastegate set to not allow any boost until the motor is broken in.If you are going to...
Yeah I saw his but when I was ready to buy one he wasnt making any so being the impatient person that I am I couldnt help it. So far I havent had any trouble with the Ross one. I just got it so I could go -6 with my fuel lines but what I didnt realize was that the portfueler rail and the ross...
You should definetly read the tech article on building a turbo setup for our cars by GSGOINGFAST. It will tell you every little thing you need to have.
The fuel map is part of the kit. It is the Split Second tuning software that is optional and it is only 50 bucks. If you buy a complete kit they preload the base map onto the ecu.Yes it runs rich. No its not hard to tune. If you have a datalogger that does, afr, boost and rpms like the...
I have been looking at his page for a while and it has never steered me wrong yet.I guess if worse comes to worse and I dont get it back balanced correctly then I can still send it to hahn for a rebuild.You never learn unless you do it yourself.It looks easy enough, mark the housings...
The oil return line is nice and straight.The throttle body is clean though and so is the o2 sensor and wideband. I didnt see any oil anywhere except for this coupler and the coupler that attaches the air filter to the turbo.
There is no way that this is normal. This coupler was just put on brand new last week. This would explain the smoking and probably the bad cold idle I think.To me it looks like time for a turbo rebuild or upgrade.THe compression on the car is still good.
Each piston is 175 exactly...
If you plan on going turbo like you say then only buy parts that will compliment the turbo mod. That means that for one thing you will have to get rid of that CAI you just put on.
Dont bother with headers either. Invest some time in making sure that your engine is healthy. Go with a good...
you have to connect to the portfueler module. Then read the fuel map from the ecu then press the select all button. then decrease by at least 20% for map A and B and then press the write to ecu button. I say 20% because that is how much I had to drop to get above 10:1 at any boost level.you...
EGT is tapped into the #4 runner. I read in a few places that we should go no higher than 1600 to 1650. I am thinking about adding a little fuel into the map for over 10psi though. id rather run a little too rich than too lean past 10 psi.
First, please use grammar. Your post is one big run on sentence and is hard to read. Second a stage 2 kit if you are using the standard definition of stages ie, turbo and intercooler with no engine upgrades will not handle that much boost.Now, let me try to help...
I think that it is there. I did two runs today in 3rd gear to redline. I only had the boost controller at the lo boost setting of 10psi. I dont want to over do it right off the bat.According to my zeitronix from 3000 rpms to redline, and at 10 psi of boost my afr held between 11.3 and 11.5...
Ok maybe i can make this easy.
on my system, the stage 4 portfueler on a 96 fuel system.The line comes from the oem fuel pump to the fuel filter to the inline walbro pump to the fuel rail to the secondary rail to the aeromotive fpr that came with the portfueler to the return port on the...
I had a caliper bolt break as well. Of course I was going down the highway when it broke and the caliper fell against the wheel. Not pretty but fortunatly no permanent damage.
when i did the neon swap and installed the quaife i got the bearings from a dodge dealerthe mitsu dealer wanted like 5 bucks more for the same bearingas far as the speedo geari used the one off the eclipse tranny and put it in the neon caseno problemsyou will like this mod...
yeah,I have the stage 4 hahn kit with a quaife LSD and the stage 2 axles and I just hope that one day I will have enough horses and torque to break one.Then again you can get the stage 3s and wheel hop a launch real bad and break those too.I also just realized that I need to update...
Yeah if those are the only mods that you have accomplished, SAFC is the easiest, cheapest way to go. It wont make a super huge difference, there is only so much power our engine NA can put out, but it will help.
We need more info on your setup.What type of fuel pressure regulator/injectors are you running?Your signature says NT. Our cars run rich from the factory so if your setup is completely stock a SAFC is about the only thing that you could use. Well, that or megasquirt.
I am almost there. At 13 psi and WOT the AFR is 10.7. Still a little rich but getting close.It starts off at 14.5 then when it hits boost it drops to 12ish then goes richer until it holds steady at 10.7 when WOT is held. I am going to shoot for 11-11.5 so back to the computer it seems...
