Well, I've still yet to get drunk, thought about it, but I know some of you are right now, haha. Happy St Patricks day!

Hey guys I am doing a timing belt on an evo ix, and am a little stumped on the timing mark... I see a tab sticking out that I thought was it, but now that I look closer I see also a white dot, which one is it? Sorry I figured I would ask here. Thanks

I understand where your coming from, but does he have any physical evidence proving me wrong? My point is you cant define exhibition of speed, it will differ from person to person.

Well, He put my speed as 45+, and the speed limit was 45. He didnt get me because he has NO radar,I just want to fight it, I have nothing to lose.Me either

Your right thats next, except all the other states hate people from california haha.

Nope didn't spin AWD ;)He didnt even test the exhaust, so that i'm not worried about. This was a sherriff I know locally that has a problem with me from school, yes he's fresh.

Where does it say that in the vehicle code?

I accelerated to the speed limit "too fast" nothing says thats illegal?

So Im going to court tomorrow to plead not guilty to an exhibition of speed ticket, and modified exhaust ticket, Do you think it's wise to fight it myself, or get a public defender? Pros and cons?

So I have a manual but I bought the 85 amp alternator which I believe is for automatics,the only difference I see is the extra post, is that for a ground? Also the plastic piece that sits on the power terminal,does it go against the alternator,then the wire,or do you put the wore first,then the...

your right...(c) A person shall not engage in a motor vehicle exhibition of speed on a highway, and a person shall not aid or abet in a motor vehicle exhibition of speed on any highway.23109.c does not specifically define exactly what exhibition of speed is, justice does not allow for...

I just got a ticket last night for exhibition of speed, please dont flame me i'm just looking for advice.So, 1:30 am, I'm at a stoplight with nobody on the road, so I decide to do a little launch. I launch, accelerate to the speed limit (45 mph), and I see a cop pretty far behind me, so I...

Lol, that sucks they had to actually see my back side. I feel kind of bad now. Well there was like a bunch of car pictures and then my ass hahaha

Yes, your right, but I dont have either haha. Well except for the hobby of the DSM.

So I took a picture of my hairy ass, got it developed wich I didn't think they would develop because it's picture of my ass. Anyway, I wedged it up in the passenger seat visor so when the sun hits the eyes of whoever is with me, they pull down the visor, and out falls a picture that they pick...

Thanks guys! I dont know why I have been staying in this situation so long. I just hate being the new guy at a job also.

I'll try to sum this all up into a shorter summary, but basically I have been working at a private owned napa for 3 years now... I started out working in my home town at the local napa. After about a year I was then asked to work a few days a week at another Napa owned by the same person 45...

Thanks everyone!I feel as if i'm like one in the million who doesn't,but obviously i'm not,just one of the few. My girlfriend for 6 years broke up over it,because it became a compatibility problem,and I was just to selfish. :ohdamn:I know my personality (addictive) wich also makes me...

So I know this seems a little odd,but I just turned 24,and I have never been drunk. In fact I have never really felt buzzed. The most I've had is a sip for the taste,and that was it. Am I missing out, or should I just forget about it? I have thought about trying it,but for some reason I have...

Thanks I will check the float. I have a spare cluster just in case.

I installed my walbro,and soldered the power and ground wires correctly. Everything is Ok except for the fuel gauge is not working, neither is the fuel light. I ran out of gas the other day without warning. Is it possible my gauge is bad on the cluster, or my float is stuck?

I am curious if there is a difference in the diameter of a regular oem oil return line for the turbo,vs an ebay one. Would the diameter matter much?How many of you are using ebay return lines without problems?

Thanks for the video...I will try using just a filter breather this time, I just dont want this to happen again obviously, so i'm willing to try out a couple different options.I wonder if my oil return is to small of a diameter?

I have a brand new pcv valve,but im using an air compressor filter as a catch can (on the side of the valve cover) that is suppose to drain the oil automatically,but I havent noticed any oil filling up. I wonder if this is just a block causing high crankcase pressure? My dipstick is popping...

I have the stock ebay hard line laying around here. Although plenty of people run the ss line from the head so I guess I was just not that lucky.Thankyou everyone. Any more suggestions would be nice.

So i just recieved a rebuilt 14b from a friend to borrow for the time being...My question is what should I check to make sure this doesnt happen to his turbo.Would to much oil cause this? Or could it be possible to have broken a ring land,and i'm mistaking it for the turbo? Would using the...

I would love to have it replaced,but Im afraid that they wont take it back due to it being a turbo and even though I HAVENT abused it, It just seems like they would probably think that abuse would be the cause. I have installed turbos before and they havent done this. I got the turbo right after...

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that im over oiling the turbo with my ss line fed from the head? I am just going to not drive for a while because I dont have money for a new one or rebuild.

No def not ebay,but if you want I can get you guys pics. I have yet to check for shaftplay either.I wonder why it wouldnt have enough oil? Should I just try a new turbo? I dont want to buy another one and blow it.

It's an MHI, I ended up paying 500+ off of extreme psi.I am using a SS line fed from the head,but plenty of people do and dont pour oil into the turbine housing,and exhaust.

UPDATESo I replaced my turbo oil return line,and gaskets to stop the leak. I am still blowing tons of oil out the exhaust when in boost. The oil cloud doesnt start to poor out of the exhaust until right after I let off of boost into decel. The more boost the more oil being burned,the bigger...

Thankyou, you have always been helpful. rep points :thumb:

I have a brand new hallman boost controller,and the knob vibrated out,can i just replace it with a bolt? Also im hitting almost 30 psi on an 16G with the knob gone...is that because the knob is gone or I have it hooked up wrong? I hope im not creeping that bad.

So unplug the isc,then adjust the biss?

I have been having a bit of a slow surging problem on a cold start ups. I cleaned up my isc and put a new o-ring on. When cold it surges slowly and I have to keep my foot on the gas. When its warm I cant get the idle below 2K rpm's even adjusting the biss screw. Would cleaning out the FIAV also...

Ok I didnt know that, Maybe thats the cause also? I will get an oem one asap. I got my OEM banjo fittings from FP and used them instead of the supplied lines banjo fittings. Or is the restrictor in the line itself?

Ok thankyou for all your help, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.I will try a new return line,and post back. I just thought my ss line fed from the head and my high oil pressure might cause the problem. As long as its not blown im happy.

Its an ebay one, but its a hard line like the oem one. Could it be to small of a diameter to let the oil drain?There is also oil on the compressor side.

Yeah Im blowing smoke out when I boost,and I can def smell the oil. I just dont get it? Could high oil pressure blow the seals that fast? I cant imagine trying to warranty it. I purchased it from a supporting vendor,but I dont want to try if I caused the problem,but 360 miles?

I have a brand new MHI 16g,and I noticed an oil leak dripping onto my downpipe,so I figured it was the oil return. After looking up I saw oil that looked like it was coming out of the v-band clamp that holds the hotside,and cold together. Then I pulled the intercooler pipes off after the j-pipe...

thanks

Ok thanks guys! I was reading about putting studs on the pan and the turbo for more torque so it doesnt leak. Do you think it will hold up just fine? I was using a poor ebay return line,and it seemed like I had to stretch it to get it to work. The pushlock line should work just fine right?

I just recieved a pushlock oil return line for my 16g,and I wondering if I have to remove anything to make it easier? Is it a hard install with it in the car,or easy once you get the car in the air? I have been having problems with it leaking. Should I use grey silicone or the oem gaskets that...

I grounded the timing connector through dsmlink to adjust the biss,and When i grounded it and adjusted the biss properly it was fine. As soon as I unground it the idle jumps back up to 2000 rpms again. Am I suppose to leave it grounded?

ok thankyou for all the help. my engine is running strong.

I never went WOT,just partial throttle,4k revs and alot of engine breaking.

So I have about 330 miles on a rebuild after 2 oil changes. Im about to do my 3rd oil change,and I was curious how many miles I need to have to start going WOT? Also,I have been using 30w non detergent, would it be ok to swap to 10w 30 yet?

I do have link,and my wideband is reading 16+ at idle. Would an exhaust leak also cause this? My idle after warm sits at like 2000 rpms,I have never adjusted the biss. How do I check my ISC with link?Also I set my idle at 900 with link,but maybe I didnt save it to the ecu.

When I first start my car in the morning, My idle tends to bounce up and down,and if I watch my boost gauge the vacuum goes from 20hg to around 12 hg and back to 20. Once warm it idles perfect. Any suggestions?

Ok thanks for the link! Im just confused by all these adjustments. I didnt want to be running rich with my setup on a rebuild.
