What's up man - how you been? I have my old ecu that I was stupid enough to let a friend who was "really good at soldering" try & socket for me. I would've done a better job in the dark - some of the wires got lifted from the board.Anyways a tv repair guy in Salinas ended up socketing my...
I've done about a dozen local (Salinas, Monterey Bay) rebuilds - Garrett, Holset (HX35), but mostly MHI rebuilds including my current setup - evo3 billet 18g compressor - lots of fun. Haven't had any issues whatsoever.I'd rebuild your T25, but I have a couple of 14b's that are really much...
What's up guys? Got a nice like new DSM flanged HX40 hotside I'm not gonna be using & really need some 1000+cc injectors (or $180 to locals in the Bay area).SORRY - SOLD!!Let me know what u got & thanks for lookin!Best way to reach me is text: 831-238-0759Steve
Thanks so much for coming down Sat night - my car runs awesome!! Anyone lookin to get their ride dialed in, get ahold of Ted, he knows his shit!Really happy with the way you got her running - just gotta get some bigger injectors & I'll be hitting you up again for sure (anyone with 1000cc+...
He had the flebay one but also had a CHRA that was a MHI 16g. Didn't see a compressor cover laying around, but I know it was MHI. If he didn't give to you, it wouldn't hurt to ask him for it - he had a hotside attached to a manifold, like I said, it just needs rebuild & compressor cover - the...
No lift kit, it doesn't have the weight of the engine holding it down. Either that or it's that lightweight bumper.Seriously though, if you bought that from Jesus, he has a MHI CHRA from a 16g. Looked like it needed a rebuild kit & maybe a new compressor wheel. I can help you out if he...
I'm sorry Miguel, didn't realize how much you've gone through with your family these last couple of months. Thanks so much for coming through & I hope things go better for you and your family.Thanks again for the sweet deal!
So what's up Miguel? TWO times flakin on me - can't answer your phone or texts after you hit me up to buy your parts? I want to buy them but obviously you're not trying to sell them or make any friends with your total lack of communication & basic people skills.PLEASE, pull the thread or...
So are you really gonna sell any of this? I tried without success to buy your parts for your asking price & got excuses & 0 parts from you.I hope this is your way of telling everyone you've decided to keep your ride man!
You can use the water lines off your T25 (if that's what you're running). Just flip them around & they should work from what I remember. Looks like you're covered either way w/all the locals having all that you need.There was a 16G at pick'n pull - Moss Landing?? What did you take it...
I just received my new KTS 18G billet wheel a few days ago - thanks so much to this thread I picked it up for $70.01 shipped! Always wanted a billet bastard but could never afford! Picked up my MHI E316G for $20, rebuilt it & replaced turbine. Been running great ever since.Anyone have a...
I did this to my car a few years ago & got so many compliments, I started doing friends cars for some extra cash.I got a 3M 3" sanding pad for my drill that has a foam backing & velcro on it & bough a variety pack of wet/dry sandpaper at local car shop for $6 & 1 pack of 2000 grit as well &...
Wow. I just got back from about a 15 mile drive after pulling the thermostat I put in 2 weeks ago & the highest temperature I saw was 206. It only stayed there for about 1 minute & then went back down to about 200-196'.So I bought a piece of s*%t thermostat? Glad it was only $11...
I'm pretty sure it's under warrenty still, so I'll pull it & bring it back to see if I can get a new one. Thanks & I'll post back once I get a new one in.
I've read up on this, so am aware that a lean condition will heat things up a bit but haven't (recently) made any changes to my tune. Could the temperature change be this much - about 10-13' higher?I drove it last night after installing OEM heatshield & un-kinking the short hose on the...
This all makes sense. What I'm having a issue with is that this all started overnight - literally. Ran at 200-203 ever since I bought ECM link & have been able to see my water temp. Nothing changed on my car but the temperature. No tune, bolt on, ect.I got busy today so I didn't have...
That's what I'm hoping it's not going to be. This is the second headgasket I've done on this car - I literally finished this one today & did it by the book.The thing that I don't understand is the temp gauge on the dash shows things are all good. It doesn't go past the halfway mark - this...
I pulled the A/C out with the condenser a while back thinking the same thing. Water pump is less than 1 year old & replaced thermostat with a 180* one just before this last headgasket. I will pull the themostat tomorrow morning just to see tomorrow morning though & post back - thanks.
What's up? I'm pretty much out of options. Been doing this for a little while now, so pretty familiar with what I'm doing - done a few rebuilds & at least half a dozen head gaskets, but at this point I'm about ready to get out the sledgehammer and take out a little frustration on my engine...
Doing another headgasket right now, waiting on parts so great time to buy/install yet another part I can't really afford but have to have right now.Hopefully someone local has something they're willing to part with quick cause parts get here Thursday (15th) and the longer she's apart the...
He has BIG FMIC & AC condenser blocking a radiator that has only 1 non-shrouded fan (now has 2) & has about 70% coolant & 30% water cooling it all.I know I'd be running too hot with that setup. I suggested 2 full time fans with shroud if possible & change his coolant/water ratio to 70% water...
Don't trip - sometimes coolant system is tough to burp. Hit me up - I pm'd you my number - l'll come by tomorrow & we can figure it out. Pretty sure most gauges will show about half way & run at about 200F.
Looking at the tach and boost gauge would probably send me into something I don't want to go into - that's why I have ECM link, it's much safer & smarter to keep all eyes on the street/track. The logger updates are too slow? What do you run? I'm pretty happy with ECM link & didn't think there...
I'm running a Holset 12 cm t/s housing on my WH1C & it clears everything (even waterpipe). The only problem is I don't know what kind of manifold I'm running - it was given to me for payment for doing a rebuild for a friend along with a ex wastegate. The only thing I had to do was figure out a...
Cool - I love mine, that's why I don't wanna give it up - you'll be happy once its under your hood & boosting. Fuel pump? I think Tony has/had a 255 for a 1g for sale..
I rebuilt his turbo & his engine - not the first turbo or engine I've rebuilt. The compressor wheel it came in with was toast - gave him an extra that was in much better shape but by no means perfect. When it left my house, it had little to no shaft play, was probably 1 lb lighter from all the...
Dude, I'm pretty sure it's your actuator. Remember that thing wasn't quite right when it went back together? Why don't you take some pics of the other turbo & see if Justin can tell you what it is & if it's worth rebuilding/running. If not, a new actuator should get u boosting again.
The "hybrid" really isn't possible without spending more than it would be worth. The CHRA would have to be machined to accommodate the 16g wheel plus there would be clearance issues because the 16g runs a superback compressor wheel vs the 14b's wheel is flat. On top of that you would need a new...
Dude - we looked into this - remember? The thrustplate is cool, I replaced it w/MHI. The problem is your oil seal on the turbine - the seal on it is shot & the turbine on the Godspeed is larger in diameter than a MHI turbine so it's not possible to use a oil seal from a MHI Turbo.The best...
+1 for sureMy E316G started pulling around 3K RPMs. I was only running 18 lbs of boost, but I'm pretty sure I was hitting that by 4800 RPM or maybe earlier. Did you port your turbine housing by the wastegate flap? Almost sounds like boost creep with a bit of boost leak thrown in.I...
This is so true. I just sold my GT2860RS last friday on Craigslist after trying to make the thing work. Had a T3 manifold with external gate & a custom O2 housing made with a 5-bolt flange to match up to the ford style turbine housing.Messed around with the thing for over a month trying...
Hehehe - thanks man. Started polishing it & once I start I couldn't stop till at least compressor cover was done. The rest I'm gonna rattle can though - too much work smoothing it all out!
Just picked up a WH1C & have a T3 manifold already setup with external gate (wg flap welded shut). Have a Garrett modified O2 housing modified & welded up today to a Holset 5-bolt flange but now am having a hard time finding the turbine housing to O2 housing gasket.Anyone know who sells...
