    Gauge cluster project

    Do you have any pictures of the wiring of the board after it was cut? or pictures of of what it looked like when it was done? im actually doing this now on my spare cluster and would like to see what traces go where and how you tapped them in. Thank you

    Too much RTV on valve cover?

    too much RTV is not good but it will not hurt anything in the engine. I use RTV on almost all my gaskets just for insurance. Also i use a thin coat just so it seals and looks clean, dont really care for globs of stuff hanging out especially where its visible.

    Timing Belt Question..

    yea there is no way around it. sorry bro you have to do it over. sorry i wasn't specific enough in my first post. but with the engine being out of the car it is not hard at all. Sometimes when there is too much slack on the belt the marks will be off. you have to make sure the belt has slack...

    Timing Belt Question..

    Looks like you might be off by a tooth. Just loosen the tensioner and bring it back a tooth. Also you know that to line the oil pump its more than just one revolution. I believe its 3 not absolutely positive. Don't have the book with me.

    15 counts of knock at idle??

    So i got my car tuned and we hooked up the laptop up and the knock sensor was picking up 15 counts of knock at idle. The sensor is brand new and the wiring looked okay. Before i was getting 43 counts of knock then i replaced the sensor and now its at 15. I am currently running Speed Density...

    (HELP!!)Bent Vavles, Head Gasket, or what? Brand new built motor.

    you should be able to buy just the valves that you need. Also it is probably a good idea to do the other side since your there. Better safe than sorry. keep us updated GL

    Enigne Mounts?

    its not an alignment issue. You definately have a bad mount, and i would get the tires balanced again probably your issue. Even though you said they have been balanced. Many times at the shop i work at people will come from other shops saying they have a vibration and that they just had tires...

    Turbo spooling but not boosting

    check your cat for restriction. my buddies tsi was the same way. ended up being clogged cat.
  22. dsmnthamakin

    bad valve seals or ????

    valve seals are a very good possibility especially since you have oil residue in one of the ports. Also somtimes the turbo seals are bad and they cause smoking.

    Fuel Filter is leaking

    make sure you replace the crush washers. somtimes you can't see them but they are stuck on pretty good.

    on my 90 gsx i had the same it was a U-joint starting to go bad on the driveshaft. it was hella expensive but it took car of the vibration. Also when i jacked it up you could not see it at all but i could see rub marks on the area around it.

    Anyone up for DSM crew?!?!

    Also i would like a red decal that exact size because it fits on the small window. I think we had talkde about getting rid of "Mid Atlantic Chapter" and also i believe "ENTHUSIAST" is spelled wrong on the decal. On the decal it is spelled "ENTHUASIST".

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    BOOM BABY... Vacuum is fixed at least i hope. i did a BLT and found some leaks. but it still did not fix it completely. So i went over to my CPS and i touched it an it moved causing the car to stall. The sensor was loose so i adjusted it, and boom my vac is up at about 14-17 in vac. Sounds good...

    my car will not start

    you know what i did not even think of that at all. my brother might have left it in gear so it would not move while the front end is in the air. and the reason i said maybe a bent rod was because at the shop i work at we had a mustang that had a bad fpr dumped fuel in cylinder 2 an went to fire...
  37. dsmnthamakin

    my car will not start

    I think he might have bent a rod because even with the head off the car we could not turn the crank at all. Spun the cam gears with the head off the bottom end an they spun like normal. I think what happened was that when he kept trying to start with only 2 cylinders firing the other 2 flooded...

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    see thats what i was wondering if my MAF could cause it? imma try and swap it out for another one. also did it take care of your boost not building?
  39. dsmnthamakin

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    i checked timing 3 times before i fired it up after headstud install an Hg but i will check again tommorow. if timing was off wouldn't valves hit? Also the actuator is not loose i have to pull it slightly to get it on the flapper arm.
  40. dsmnthamakin

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    yeah it has an adjustble wastgate actuator but shouldn't the boost spike way high if i undo the vac hose from actuator?
  41. dsmnthamakin

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    well im not running lean my wideband seems to read about 14.5 but i am still not getting any boost i had this problem when i tried putting on a super 20g an then i put my 14b back on an it boosted just fine now i put a v trim an have nothing even after i take off the hose from the wastegate.
  42. dsmnthamakin

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

  43. dsmnthamakin

    Car runs like it has a vac leak an no boost?

    Well i have done tons of searching an have found a couple helpful things but i am still at a loss. I have a 90 GSX mods are current on profile, and what is happening is when i start the car it reads like 15 in vac at idle till it warms up then it drops to about 10. will stay running but runs...

    Anyone up for DSM crew?!?!

    Im down for a Red decal if it fits on the little window. Don't really want it in the front or the rear since it will give the cops more of a reason to harass me. Or watever the crew decides on, i guess will do but i prefer the little window.
  45. dsmnthamakin

    Anyone up for DSM crew?!?!
