I was thinking the exact same thing. The above is correct.Answer me this; you are standing outside on a windy day and you hold up a sheet of plywood say 4ftX4ft above your head with the sheet facing perpendicular to the direction of the wind (constatnt speed). Now you hold a 10ftX10ft...
I agree. In your last picture it looks like you did practically nothing to improve the flow to wastegate. You should be able to remove a decent amount of material to allow more exhuast gases to flow into the waste gate passage. (on the left side of housing in last pic)Flapper mod is a bad...
It may take awhile for the lifters to pump up with oil if they weren't primed. Were talking like 10-30 mins driving around. I recently had a similar problem, but one of my lifters had collapsed and made a loud ticking noise.Pull the valve cover and push down on each of the lifters when the...
Looks like that pretty much covers it. Although you should be able to start the car and let it idle without the MAS plugged in, wouldn't get to hung up on that one.Good luck, :thumb:
How did you check the CAS? I would pull it off (make marks for timing and on tabs so it isn't put back in out of phase) and with the ignition key on spin it manually. Test for spark in each cylinder and you should hear each injector firing.Could it be that you have a small fuel leak which...
Check the relay on your fuel pump rewire. I had a similar problem last year which came down to a loose wire. You should hear the relay clicking when your trying to crank over the vehicle. Grab the wires by the relay and pump, and move them around as someone is cranking over the engire, it...
When the timing marks line up on the cams, where should the timing mark be on the harmonic balancer? I think it is somewhere between 5-10 degrees when they line up. The crank soon binds right after that turning CW.I pulled the spark plugs and I can see the pistons moving up and down, and...
Update:
So I checked the CAS everything checked out fine. With the car
switched to ON, I removed the CAS and spun it manually. I got spark in each cylinder and could hear each injector firing, plugs also wet.I pulled the computer, no sign of leaking caps or strange smells.So today I...
So I start my car today and I here what is almost like a slight whining noise that varies with RPM. So first I thought boost/vacuum leak, but that wasn't the case. So I drive the car a bit, and the whining still is varying with RPM, boosting and not boosting. All of the sudden I hear this...
I just had the exact same problem. A new boost controller won't solve anything.Do yourself the favor and pull the turbo again (only takes 1/2 hour) and port the waste gate so the door can swing all the way open, and remove some material leading into the waste gate (turbine inlet) so more...
Just pull the cruise and get the non-cruise throttle cable (was $25 Canadian for me).It's like a 10 min job to swap and remove, and makes the engine bay a whole lot more tidy.
Your car is OBD I, why did you order the OBDII cable?That may be the problem right there, unless the cables are identical 90-94 (OBDI) and 95-up (OBDII).
Sweet job man. Let's see some pics.I made my own exhaust for my car also (stainless steel). Check out the tech article I wrote, the pictures are found at the link at the bottom of the article.I'll give anyone credit in taking the time, creativity, and skill to create something, rather...
Doing weights and crunches wont burn off any fat. If you want to burn off fat, you have to do cardio.Try doing cardio for like an hour insted of thirty minutes, and don't get hardcore into the weights untill you lose alot of your body fat, and then switch back to thirty minute cardio to...
Yes you will have to somehow get that plastic insert onto the cable end that attaches to the acclerator pedal, or fab something up.You will also want to look at trying to alter that metal peice that guides the cable out of the firewall and also attach it to the new cable, unless you want a...
I tried this last week, as well as trying to relocate the cruise unit to where the charcoal canister used to be. In the long run, you have to make too many bends with the cables and they bind. The dam cables are too long. In the end, after wasting a couple of hours on trying to be...
When you first wake up in the morning, before you do anything else, including eating, go for a jog. This will hlep to burn off more fat.Second, if your drinking occasionly, drop the beer. Seriously try it for a month or two and you will be suprised to see the difference it makes.A last...
Who wants to make bets on what Moore said to Bertuzzi as he skated by at the other end of the rink, and then Bertuzzi preceeded to follow him and knock him one in the back of the mind. These teams already played 65 minutes against each other after the Naslund incident and nothing happened...
Alcohol does also cool the charge better, but when comparing the specific heats of water to methanol or ethanol, you will notice that waters is much higher (almost double). Water does a much better job of removing heat from the charge.Running pure alcohol also has its disadvantages. One...
Make sure all those metal tabs are bent around the top end tank cover. the top end tank should of never been flipped though in the first place.You should pressure test the IC next time you have it off also. Here's what I do. Take an old bike tire tube and stretch it over the IC outlet or...
If I can remember correctly. (I never redlined the car)
1st 6500
2nd ~6200
3rd ~6400
and I just put it into 4th at the end of the track.I found I netted my best times with those shift points. A stock car runs out pretty quickly in the topend. This was with a 1.89-1.92 60ft times on the...

I would say don't do it. If you understand how fuels were rated and the delay period before the autoigntion process (where the knock rating comes from) it would become clear as to why it is not a good idea.
I do believe there would be a payoff in reducing the air temps after the turbo, but you would have to spray so much water into your LICP to make it effective. Too much water is no good, because we all know water doesn't burn.I think taking advantage of the intercooler first, which does a...
So thats what a big snow storm looks like??I look out my front window and can't even see the road because the snowbanks are plowed so high due to the graders clearing the street.:D
If its that cold out it should be easier to find the leak!:DPull off the heat sheilds and start the car up. It should be quite apparent where the leak is coming from if its as big as you decribe. Check the turbo to exhuast manifold gasket, turbo to O2 sensor housing gasket, and dp gasket...
If you look at the specific heat of water compared to fuel you will notice that the specific heat of water(l) is about twice that of gasoline(l). Specific heat is the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance (in this case the charge w/water) by one degree...
Well if I attempted to start my car today, it would probably show -38 deg. celsius (or -37 deg. farenheit). With the windchill its about -53 deg. celsius (-64 deg. farenheit) here right now.Yeah it was a long walk home from the bus stop today. I hate riding the loser cruiser in winter...
Thanks alot guys I really appreciate all your help.Ricekiller the pics aren't exactly what Boiler is talking about, but I understand now what he means by a "step" (although a pic and vfaq would still be nice:thumb: ))I am droping the turbo in the next few weeks to do some more porting...
I have seen that link and it doesn't mention anything about porting in a step to improve flow towards the wastegate. I have ported my turbo, mani, and O2 sensor housing already, but am still experiencing creep, massive creep. With direct a boost/vaccum source to my wastegate actuator, boost...
What do you exactly mean by this? Could you point me in the right direction of this vfaq. I am having the same problem with my stock 14b (11psi creep) and have to pull the turbo again to do some more porting.
If your going to do exhaust, do dp and cat back. If you want to run the stock exhuast, at least ditch the catalytic convetor and put in a test pipe.My car with a test pipe and K&N (stock everything else including boost) pulled a 14.72 with a 1.89 60ft time on the stock clutch. Just take it...
DIY 1G AWD Turboback Exhaust
Having looked around for an exhaust system at a decent price, I decided to build my own for my 1990 Eagle Talon. If you have a decent shop and a welder you should be able to do this yourself. I will not go into extreme detail on the bends of the pipes, you...
That's a good point. How many CCA (cold cranking amps) is your battery rated at? Mine is I think around 550 to 600 and like I said I have no problems starting my car here and it is fricken cold.The least you could do is bring your battery somewhere and have a load test done on it, that way...
I would first check your battery. If it doesn't hold a good charge it is essentially water in the cells and may have frozen.Do you add any fuel stabilizer to your car or does your gas station jave any fuel stabilizers added to their fuel for winter time (gas line antifreeze)? If not your...
