    installed new head, weird compression numbers

    Well I did a leakdown test today and every cylinder was at 20-25% according to the cheap HF leakdown tester I got. I didnt hear any air in the intake or exhaust, even on the valve that I thought may have been bad.

    installed new head, weird compression numbers

    Im 90% sure that the light could be seen all the way around, its just the angle I took the picture at that makes it hard to see. The guy I got it from said that It was recently rebuilt (which I think it true because I found some assembly lube inside it). It was only that 1 valve out of all of...

    installed new head, weird compression numbers

    Hey I was having issues with compression previously (cyl2) and it lead to bent valves. I replaced the head and its now fixed. Compression is (1-4) 170 170 170 140 .... I know 140 is still ok, but im confused why one is at 140. (Added a cap of oil and there was no change)When I got the head I...

    If it was something wrong with the valves wouldnt the compression be low??

    Am i experiencing fuel cut?

    Do a boost leak test. Same thing happened to me yearssss ago. Also im assuming you have gaskets between all your exhaust mating points?
  11. turbo98eclipse

    Is this an indication of bent valves? Test results

    I did a tbelt and found the balance shaft belt snapped. I didnt check timing prior to removing everything so im assuming it may have skipped a couple of teeth.

    Lowering Questions/Suggestions.

    Depends on how low you want to go...That will also determine if you need a camber kit or not

    How do you install manual boost controller?

    Cant he just get a stocker t25 or 14b and get that running instead of higer end 20g's etc that wont even push 10psi on stock 420 internals?Oh, and youd also need to tap the comp housing or intake pipe next to the turbo to anser your original question
  14. turbo98eclipse

    Is this an indication of bent valves? Test results

    Yea, I just dont want to spend money on a new head and then find out it was ok lol. I cant take it apart and leave it apart so I cant really even check other than what ive already done
  15. turbo98eclipse

    Is this an indication of bent valves? Test results

    Well I have a compression tester and I just took the one way valve out and hooked it up to the compressor. When I do that it holds NO pressure, and immediately goes to the throttle body. Only reason I dont think its a HG is because there was no movement of coolant in the thermo housing at all...

    edit ::: this was to show where the cam lobes were when the air was still coming out of the IM

    engine removal

    Yes.. you have to remove the tq conv and the trans as one. You might have to rotate the flywheel to get to all the bolts

    Is this an indication of bent valves? Test results

    I did a compression test ~3weeks ago and everything was 170+ psi ... car started to run rough and now all are still at the same level except cyl #2 -- its at 60psi and when oil is added it went up to ~70ish.I put each cyl at TDC and injected air into the cylinders. When I got to cyl #2, air...

    Engine flooding/RC injectors/ecuflash help?

    I thought so, but why would it only happen with the 750s and not the stockers?
  21. turbo98eclipse

    Look at the bullet I dodged!

    Im doing a whole bunch of mods to my car (turbo, etc...) and decided to replace the Tbelt. Car has119k on it. Ive only driven it 72miles since I got it. I was going to do a BSE kit but didnt want to do it with the motor in the car so I decided to just replace the balance belt and save the kit...

    Engine flooding/RC injectors/ecuflash help?

    So I installed a fuelab AFPR and RC750 injectors. I used ecuflash and set the 750cc and 330 deadtime and then activated the fuel pump to set the pressure. The gauge would pin to 80psi and I couldnt adjust it at all. I figured it was just a faulty gauge so I tried to start the car and it wouldnt...

    Does that run the whole length of the car?Edit:: never mind I just read your original post again lol

    Apexi downpipe + magnaflow slip fit cat?

    Got the cat and it was literally the same ID and OD as the apexi. It turned out my welding skills were so shitty because my welder was broken internally. Got a new welder and everytbing went smooth :-)

    will my custom DP pass emissions?

    Welp, just got back from the station, I passed! I think the 2way/3way factor was more impt than the heavy metal... the HM cats are for 96+ cars, but our engines have been pretty much the same since 90, so I figured theyd all put out the same emissions.. so if a 95 7 bolt can pass a 97 should be...

    will my custom DP pass emissions?

    I modded my apexi downpipe and welded in a 3" magnaflow cat. Its a 3 way cat with regular ceramic honeycomb. I didnt realize until today that the box says "pre obd2" which means its not a heavy metal type of cat (my cars a 97) ... will that make a difference and make me fail the sniffer test? I...

    strange coolant problem

    Sure its not the overflow tank?If anything just jack it up and let the car idle and look underneath

    how to tell :spun bearing

    If the bearing is completely gone or really badly damaged, youll be able to move the end cap/rod SIGNIFICANTLY by hand. You can do a compression test to test for valves in most cases... are you sure its not a normal noise?

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    So I ordered 2 of those lever shoes and they ignored my order -- then I ordered 2 more from a different site. Same thing -- I needed to move the car tomorrow to fab up an apexi/cat downpipe so I decided to make my own. I had ordered an ebay shifter and it came with those caps used to fit...

    Failed Welding LSD...

    That gear on the right, if you pull it make sure you put it back in the right way -- I put it in upside down once and started a whole thread on here about why my trans was locking up. Keep track!

    Apexi downpipe + magnaflow slip fit cat?

    OK thats what I thought -- I tried googling "apexi downpipe O.D" lmao .. you could imagine how NONE results I got ... looking at the link and every other place ive been looking for the past 2 hrs, it appears that the ID is 3" on the cat.Part of the long story was that I dont trust the shops...

    Apexi downpipe + magnaflow slip fit cat?

    Long story REALLY short --Im going to have to end up hacking my Apexi downpipe to fit a high flow cat in my exhaust system :( . Im looking at http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-54959/overview/Its a 3" -slip fit- style high flow cat. If it says the inlet/out is 3" and my apexi is also...

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    Under the hood the arm on the tranny does move, when in gear and I rock it side to side. I made a video (didnt have a partner to help) if its needed to see, but when I put it in gear the linkage and everything under the hood on the trans itself definitely moves. This is suggesting the linkage is...
  38. turbo98eclipse

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    Just checked and everything under the hood moves in sync with the shifter, so I dont think the cables are stretched, tho thinking about it -- it would make sense. From what I remember, 2gs are non adjustable, correct?
  39. turbo98eclipse

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    None at all. Im going to go check for cable movement

    The U shaped bushing that kind of slides on? Yupp mine is still there and fits in snug. That was one of the 1st things I checked :-) You cant tell from the video, but its not like the shifter is limp. Im not saying I can blow on it and itll move, its actually pretty tight. Im just not sure if...

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    No it goes into gear solidly everything is good, but that side play is killing me! Im going to go out and check that bushing right nowTook it apart and these 2 bushings were in there. They still look good. If I hold the base and try to move the pivot spot where these bushings are, its solid...
  42. turbo98eclipse

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    Bushings for the point where it pivots? No -- I didnt think that would effect stiffness in horizontal movement... I'm assuming I guessed wrong?Edit:::: I did change the under hood bushings to solid aluminum ones

    I've tried everything & shifter is still loose! *video*

    This is driving me nuts! The car (97 tsi) came with an ebay block short shifter and it was horrible. After reading on here, people were saying the solution was to get a b&m (or clone), and use an oem level. So I purchased the clone and the oem lever, and also a new spring. It feels better, but...
