Damn, that looks nice! I guess I have a lot more work to do. I think the reason its so bumpy is that I didnt spend enough time on it.Ill do some more and post back with some pics.What is a good grit flapper wheel to get for the finishing polish?
Ok, you guys have convinced me to have at it again. I didn't have enough time to do it so i was rushing a bit so next time i will really be able to take my time with it. Porting is pretty fun.. i can see myself going around looking for other things to port very soon.
Do you know how any of this is going to help me? I know most people port their 14B to eliminate boost creep, but I have never had a problem with that. I run 19 psi on my 14B now, will I notice any power gains over that on a 14B that is ported?
I didnt touch the wastegate passage, there are 2 cracks around the hole where the flapper is supposed to seal and i really didnt feel like messing with it. I saw the write up on the porting of this turbo and they make the area of the wastegate passage bigger, but is this for a stock gasket or do...
Hey guys, I decided to port this 14B that I am going to be putting on soon. I bought it with about 60K on it. Let me know what you guys think and if there is anything else i should do with it.
is this neccesary or a performance mod?? I would have thought that the gasket would fit where its supposed to... if its a 6cm opening on the gasket and the manifold I dont see what the problem is. I have no tools to port anything and I'm looking to fix my car ASAP, I dont even have a garage to...
Hey guys, I recently found an exhaust leak where the manifold meets the turbo. I already ordered a gasket kit, but then after reading a vfaq I realizes that I have a 2g manifold on there that was put on by the previous owner. Is this manifold-turbo gasket the same for both? It looks to be the...
wow... thats a deal right there.. thanks for the idea, sounds like an easier option. i might see what the cheapest thing i can get is because i plan on doing a bigger brake upgrade this summer, i just need something to get me by. And i just did the one side today with new pads and a rotor, so i...
Hey guys, i was going to change the passenger side brakes out and right away noticed that the head on the lower cailper pin is all rounded off. The top one is perfect and broke loose easily. I tried the bottom one for a while but was already in too poor of shape to get it loose using a socket or...
Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear. I am planning on picking up that same kit. I am not sure about my injectors, however. The previous owner of my car I think said they were the evo 8 injectors but I really have no way of knowing. Anyone know how I could tell? If they are stockers I will...
well i took my car to a shop today, and the mechanic is pretty sure its just a headgasket. This would explain why my coolant gets so pressurized and hot, and for the low compression. Hopefully thats all we will find. Im keeping my fingers crossed. As for my possible fuel leak, I am going to...
But would this lean condition damage the rings? I thought this would more likely damage the piston itself or the valves perhaps. I understand the idea of the cylinder getting washed because it would destroy the rings, but I have a feeling there is a leak before the injector not the injector...
Hey guys, i don't post much as i can usually find all my answers by looking around, but ive finally run into major car problems. I noticed some low compression in my engine. I tested it, and came out with 29-150-150-150.
I wet tested the #1 piston and it went from 29 to 91. This points to the...
Hey guys, I raced at the track for the first time ever in Englishtown, and ran a 14.079, my best of 2 runs. I thought for sure id be in low to mid 13's, a little disappointing.r/t - .479

You don't need a scanner, all you need is a volt meter or battery tester with a light on it.To get the codes: Under your dash to the right of your fuse box there is a diagnostics port with a rubber boot over it. Take off the boot and connect pin 1 and 12. this is the top left corner pin and...
