    2G Who wants a big SMIC? gauging interest

    ngl, this is the absolute wrong way to go about a group buy. You need to provide some transparency to potential customers, like semi-regular updates on the number of people that have bought in and hope this encourages people to actually place the order.The way it's being run right now, it...

    2G WOT hesitation

    @Gilly17 to address your original concern, the hesitation could be a number of things. I would start with the plugs and gapping them to the above mentioned specs and see if that solves the issue. If not, it could be a lean fueling issue that could be diagnosed by logging a lambda sensor...

    2G WOT hesitation

    However; along these lines, make sure if there is a port on the low pressure intake piping (past red injen coupler, before compressor inlet) that it is capped if you are not going to route the PCV back into intake.I personally would avoid routing PCV back into intake as it will only dirty up...

    2G Overheating need help with cooling

    To add, I've found that massaging the lower rad hose can be very helpful in getting a majority of the air out of the system.
  6. DCP POM Front & Rear Subframe Bushings for 2G

    Question by 'hocka09' on classified ad 'DCP POM Front & Rear Subframe Bushings for 2G'

    Do any of these bushings need to use the OE sleeves? Or can they be removed?

    Odd Exhaust Port Anomaly

    Hahah I like the optimism!The head is completely stock, no porting or anything. This encourage me to give it a good look over for cracks in that port though.

    Odd Exhaust Port Anomaly

    Here’s a photo of the intake port for that cylinder: Looks normal to me. In addition, here’s a photo of the cylinder head: There’s a bit of a sludgy carbon buildup. That cylinder had a decent amount of carbon buildup on the piston top as far as I remember, so that doesn’t really line up with...

    Odd Exhaust Port Anomaly

    Ok, I was suspecting that but the gasket didn’t look like it failed. I suppose a new gasket, clean surfaces and ARPs will resolve that.

    Odd Exhaust Port Anomaly

    Hey Tuners,This one has me stumped, folks. I’m currently pulling apart an engine I’m swapping from one car to another for a freshening up and I came across a single exhaust port that has nearly no carbon buildup, while the others have what I consider typical buildup. I went ahead and pulled...

    Autocross Build 1996 TSi AWD - Restore/Autocross

    You are basically following my plan to a tee; I've got a G37 Deep Green Metallic '95 Talon TSi AWD roller (hiding in the background) waiting to get a little attention. Running the same wheels in a BBS bronze pretty similar to yours. I do agree with you, that wheel color goes exceptionally well...

    Downpipe cherry red

    That A/F sensor is likely narrowband if you are suggesting that it needs to be wired into an existing o2 sensor. Only recently have cars come with o2 sensors capable of reading the actual air to fuel ratio on a properly wide band, hence the meaning of wideband. To really know what's going on...

    Random misfire and lean under boost

    This sounds almost certainly like a case of a large vacuum leak. Take for instance if the PCV hose somehow came off of the intake manifold; this would allow the engine to pull in large amounts of un-metered air into the cylinder, making for a lean combustion event at idle since the ecu is...

    Installing a 6 bolt in a 7 bolt car

    Quick question; who are you buying it from? I might be interested in seeing if he can get me rebuilt/built long block.
