Just went through this with the 350z and it was the filter element on that car.It would drop several psi as rpms increased

Pulled my FP and cleaned its sock to try and regain fuel pressure but that didn't help. The tank didn't feel funny but I did take a rag and wipe all of the metal i could reach. Next up is checking the fuel filter and cleaning it (it's a SS 10...

Going to the SO last weekend motivated me to start wrenching on this car that's been basically collecting dust for a while. The clutch didn't hold up the last time I took it out and I just kinda let it sit after.Yesterday I turned the trans...

Hey man I just went thru your whole build and have to say CONGRATS! Such a beautiful car and an awesome build! Very inspiring, my car had an evo3 16g when I got it 10years ago and man, even at altitude with a stock motor/cams intake/throttle body...

Heck yeah:hellyeah:, I was also on the Evo8 modified map lol, the car seemed to like it, back then I was still on a 2g maf, and just ramped up the timing sliders not really knowing what I was doing lol. Luckily I never blew the motor, but I just...

If you had a welder you could extract it by spot welding a larger NUT onto the broken stud. A cheap mig welder would work. If you are ready to get a new/used TB, it won't hurt anything. If you need more details just ask.

Are you using the latest ECMLink update? Sometimes I have to make sure and reload the freshest from their website. Won't hurt.

I spin my HX40 cars to 9000-9200. I am not at the 900hp mark but was in the mid 700s (only estimated, no dynos in my area so just an ECMLink guesstamate with a 20% reduction built in). One car is an auto (9200) and one car is a stick (9000)...

To my personal experience for drag racing in our cars you need to “spin” it past 8500 I feel like a 6466 would be a good turbo to make 900 hp

I’ll push it to 60 let’s see …. I like the unit and haven’t maxed it out I wonder if the 10569s would be a day night difference ?

I did indeed run 7.92 or so at 180 MPH back in 2014 on a T3 Super 99. 2500 lbs or so, so the car is light but not crazy light. Our street class 2g was 2750 for comparison. I give more of the credit to the turbo, it was a solid unit. Back pressure...

Just a smaller hole.

If the valve stem seals are wore out, it will look like THIS. We changed VS deals on his car and in 2-3 weeks the smoke was back. Valve guides were wore out and allowed too much wiggle to keep seals in it. The OPs car is FAR worse and I don't...

1990talonawdtsi Don’t leave us hanging. Keep us updated on what you’ve discovered!

Wow. Sounds like they know they bent the valves.

Crossing Fingers for you. This doesn't sound like a seasoned mechanic to me.

Everything I see says they mistimed the engine. If that's true it's inexcusable for a shop.we need more info.

Drag strip is under way! It's like 15 min away by gravel roads from my house.

30yrs of experience he said he never ran into something like this...Hey so yeah that was another post, I was trying to erase it, but what I had posted on that thread is what the tech had said about the car and the timing. The mechanic said...

Welcome to the forum. What we want sure can change over time. Fortunately, you got to experience the car culture with your grandfather's and father's perspective as well. Figure out what brings you joy about driving: Is it the quickness or the...
