  4. 10.0-10.5 afr idle. dumping fuel??

    Did you check your O2 to see if its reading ok?Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  5. Boost hitting 1K later

    Remove the MBC and have it set like you had before. Use new vac hoses. Drive the car and see how it performs. If it went back to how you remember it, re-install the MBC. Again, use new vac hoses. Check the old ones for rips or punctures. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  6. bought 96 gst, failed emissions, in CO, a lot of ts done

    Clean your air flow sensor and check for boost leaks. Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  7. 2G Injectors 2 and 4 no fire

    I'll have to check harness. Codes on ECU? Maybe ECU driver is bad. Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  8. Breaking up under boost over 15psi

    Check spark plug gap. Use NGK bpr7es. If everything good, check coils, resistance etc... Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  9. Possible blown headgasket

    Leak test. Check the color of the spark plugs. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  10. 14b or 16g

    If you have the $ get a 16g and FMIC. Big difference over 18psi of boost. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOSIf you have the $ get a 16g and FMIC. Big difference over 18psi of boost. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  11. Timing Question

    If you're not sure after assembling the belt. Turn the engine slowly a couple of times. Timing marks must line up again and you should not feel any tight spots (do this without spark plugs). A lot of info on the boards. Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  12. wheres my adjustment nut on clutch master?

    Good info.TRILOGY TURBOS
  13. This is why I do a compression test before I tune your car.

    Can't use those plugs, gap is too big. NGK only!!!TRILOGY TURBOS
  14. Ebay 20g 1/8 run

    That is not bad at all!!TRILOGY TURBOS
  15. how to set fuel pressure with an afpr

    As I said before this is something that I discuss with everyone. It's my opinion regarding the pressure side reading. FPR will always open at the baseline letting the fuel bypass. Clean injectors? Clean fuel filter?TRILOGY TURBOS
  16. Vibration under car / in gas pedal

    Did you put OEM mounts? Exhaust touching chassis somewhere? As someone said up there, throttle cable too tight.Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  17. turbo rebuild vid

    I've been doing this for a long time and what most people forget is: what usually goes bad is not the journal bearings but the housing it self. The other thing is : not balancing the assembly? It wont last as it should. This small frame turbos turn up to 120k rpms!!!!!! Its just like building a...
  18. New to DSM and Turbos

    Read as much as you can to understand how the car works and remember. Fix all oil and coolant leaks, make sure you have a good fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, clean injectors, test for boost leaks and make sure timing is correct and throttle body/idling is adjusted correctly. After that you...
  19. engine problem varification

    Probably alternator or compressor belt. Usually a gear popping out like that is a worn fork, but a bad mount would do it too since will shift the engine and transmission around. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  20. Burned Exhaust Valve?

    Removing the cylinder head just do the right job the first time. Port & polish, 1mm over valves, performance springs and etc... I like Ferrea, since I don't have my own parts yet, but its up to each customer to see what they can afford. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  21. oil light on but oil level is good.

    Check your oil pressure ASAP with a good pressure tester. Your oil pump may be tired or the plunger inside the oil filter housing is open due to debris or something that nature. Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  22. Why Must I Adjust the Battery Terminals Before I'm Able to Start the Car?

    Clean your battery posts and terminals with a wire brush. After tightening them back if you still able to move them just replace the terminals since they are worn out. Regards;TRILOGY TURBOS
  23. Is this my master slave cylinder leaking?

    Clutch master cylinder. It will get harder and harder to engage gears.Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  24. Head Gasket Replacement

    If you're not confident you can do it just take to a shop. Spend a bit more money and send the head to a machine shop to replace the valve seals, check the valves and wear on the guides. You don't want to do this twice in a short period of time. Make sure you understand the timing so you don't...
  25. Compressor Surge Mystery?

    What is the BOV you have? It seems your BOV is not closing fast enough when you step on throttle. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  26. Burning Oil, Low Comp of #3, Head Gasket?

    Replace the gasket but do yourself a favor, spend a bit more money and time and replace the valve seals and get the valve/guides clearance checked. Why do the same job twice right? Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  27. extremely low oil pressure

    5w20 is too thin. This is something else that I always talk with my customers. If the engine is not fresh rebuild I put 10w40 in modern engines and 20w50 on older ones. Specially if they have more then 60k miles and in South Florida weather. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  28. Sheared off auto-tensioner plunger, why?

    Buy a new tension my friend! Better safe then sorry. Don't play around with timing!!! Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  29. Local dsm mechanic ?

    I'm in South Florida but I'll take the cash!!! LOL. Post your question maybe we can help. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  30. Groove in crank shaft end. Normal? Fix? (pics)

    Machine it or sleeve it. That is the "lip" of the seal marking the crank. Odd uh? Rubber can cause that. You're probably leaking a good amount of oil there too. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  31. Clicking noise under boost - VIDEO

    On the video it sounded like you do have a exhaust leak but cant really tell. Exhaust is hitting or your "U" joints are giving up. They will "click" under load. Regards,TRILOGY TURBOS
  32. what do i have to do to run e85 ethanol

    Bigger injectors for sure. Most of all you'll need an additive to lubricate the metal parts so specially the injectors wont clog. I sell a lot of fuel injectors to Brazil and they use alcohol, not a lot of problems there. But for tuning concerns you'll need about 25/30% more fuel with ethanol...
  33. car stall when hot - ECMLink log attached

    By any chance did you invert the wires for the temp switch and the coolant temp switch? I remember someone doing this before....the car starts and idles but then floods when getting to temp and dies. I can't remember if the plugs are the same or not but remember happening before. Regards...
  34. Question on a few areas

    First you have to check for boost leaks. Maybe you have a loose clamp and the pipe moves around some times sealing and some times not. Easy thing to do. I don't think a cracked exhaust pipe would give more back pressure, anything it would give a faster exhaust out ...i.e. more POWER!!!!LOL...
  35. Oil coming from Oil Fill Cap

    As everyone is stating you have a positive crankcase pressure problem. Easily solved getting a new PCV valve or as another member mentioned using a "one way valve", that will seal better then the stock PCV valve. If you want to try you can remove the stock PCV valve, install a regular hollow...
