I am very familiar with that thread but it doesn't give me an answer to my question.

I am curious to see if and how a hx35 would fit a 1g with a stock manifold and one of these t3 adapters found on ebay. I am guessing it wouldn't clear the water pipe. wanna see if anyone out there has any experience with this

I didn't pick up a 2g knock sensor yet but I am gonna try unplugging the 1g sensor and see how the car runs. I hope this is it. My car has been parked for awhile now.

I just realized that i never swapped the 1g knock sensor. I hear that its different from the 2g knock sensors. Does any know if this would be causing my problems?

Ok my car has been running like crap for the last couple months. Its been in my garage for almost a year now. The new setup is listed below. The issue is the car sounds like garbage. It gets between 10-15 hg vac and is very hard to start up and idle. Compression is 150 across (6 bolt) and timing...

update. I zeroed out the maf compensation and got the car running better. But the idle is still choppy and timing is boucing around too much. here is a new log.

ok I realized that my logs didnt show the estimated afr. Its boucing around from 18-23:1. Sounds very lean but my plugs get black really quickly and you can smell lots of fuel with the car running. I dont have my wideband installed yet so I can't confim this estimate.

ok here is some new logs I made while messing around with the car idling. I cant get it to idle steady without running high timing.

new update. The motor started knocking so I pulled it out and got another running block and head. The car is still running the same way. gets about 15 in. of vac at 1k rpm with timing at 10 degrees and 43 psi fuel pressure. Timing is good, compression is ok, firing order is right, cas is not...

Ok so today after awhile of messing around i got the car to idle around 1k. I was getting 13-14 in.hg of vac. And i pushed the cas downWard and i got a more steady 17-18 in.hg but i heard pinging so i backed off. This is with the maf unplugged. When i plug it back in it has no effect. Also the...

Its running so rough i wouldnt be able to do this without the car stalling. Plus its really hard to keep it idle without giving it some gas. I am gonna check my cas wiring to make sure there isnt any cuts. And i am getting 40 psi fuel pressure around 1500 rpmok so i got the car hooked up with...

O yeah forgot to say that i checked both firing order. Stock way and the order with a inverted cas. Timing is spot on and i personally took the parts out of a decently running car. The car sounds like a big block with a ridiculous cam.

Ok so i got a 6 bolt 2g that runs like crap. It barely starts and wont idle or run smooth. I am running dsm link now but the car was the same with the stock ecu. I cant access link right now because i dont have a laptop but the settings are already there for my setup from the last owner. I have...
