OMG this is incredible! I used greenle tools to cut my pipes into pie cuts, but, man, yours turned out flawless. The welded ends are just outstanding. Congrats.

really wants a gsx...

Wouldn't it be cheaper and more convenient to get some silicone hoses, cut the stock oil feed and drain lines and get some fittings for the turbo?Also, the hx35 I purchased came with this fitting. What size do you think it is? I'm actually thinking about using it somehow...

Defiant- I always get a bad feeling when I look at silicone hose return lines, are you saying these are reliable? I've been considering getting one of those for the future turbo setup, but something just tells me I will be waving the motor good bye if I do so...

Referring to the chart, why do I need to start retarding timing at 1500 rpm and progressively increase it after that? Doesn't the ECU do that on it's own once it realizes the engine is at WOT and there is more air coming in?I just thought the ECU did most of that work even if I didn't tell...

Lol, my fault 99gst racer, I noticed the misspelled word and couldn't make the correction. I went ahead and sent Ludachris a message last night and figured it would be fixed by today...Yeah, I'm planning on running 10.82 afr for the most part. That's a pretty handy chart you have there. I...

So I decided to go with 2g Pistons, and figured timing must be changed. Here I have a pic of what the timing will look like, using ds-map. The timing changes were done from 9.50 - 14.80 psiFor you 2g owners, how does the timing look? How about off-boost timing? I want to make sure that when...

A question to all of you Holset experts:Can a hx35 be ran with a stock 14B wastegate actuator? E316g? <--Not sure if both are the same...Thanks in advance!

Honestly, that's where I completely messed up. About four studs were a bit too loose when I started to remove the head...Those are definitely deep marks on bearings 3 and four.

Here are some of the bearings...

Long story short, after blowing the headgasket on the newly rebuilt motor, I drove the car home. Afterwards, the motor would only turn about 90* so figured it was a bent rod, caused by the attempt to compress coolant in the cylinder. After dropping the oil pan, I decide to turn the motor and it...

Rick- I went to advance auto to get some assembly lube. I bought some of what they had (in a black tube), but I'm not sure if I should trust it. In the back, it says it's lithium based. When I squeezed some out, it's kinda like a black paste.What do you think about it? Where can I get...

The ecu was checked and sure thing, the two capacitors are leaking. Great, just what I needed.I have an automatic eprom laying around, does anyone know how it would run in my manual car? I realize the injectors are different sizes, but I just need it to move...

What I'm having a hard time figuring out is why the car won't turn over, even with the charged battery. I don't think it's the battery because even if it was bad, the car would start, as long as it had a good charge. It just bothers the heck out of me.What do you mean by bump starting...?

So I left the battery disconnected this time and it held charge. It's at 12.97v right now.Even with the good battery, the car turns over twice and suddenly dies...
