well i'm trying to turn and they won't budge, already soaked them in liquid wrench

Hey guys. I'm changing the rear pads on my '92 Tsi. It has ABS and is AWD if that matters. Everything is done, except I can't get the piston in the calipers to screw back in to fit the caliper over the new pads.The haynes manual said I could use needlenose pliers to twist it and I've even...

Damn, sure do...did actually. Once I got rid of my 3rd f-body I kinda stopped hanging out there. I use crazeinc for my name on all of the boards ;)

Do yourself a favor and pick up a 2G shiftknob. I put one on last night and it's 100% better shifting now with the new knob. Much better feel with the throws and just fits great in your hand. :thumb:...oh yea it's way cheaper to pick up a used 2G knob then getting anything aftermarket, too.

and by keeping it wouldn't that be a nice safeguard or is it eliminated when you install an mbc anyways?

I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but I'm reading how removing the BCS restrictor raises boost 2-3psi, but I'm kinda wondering if that's actually serving a good purpose and should not be removed?

you'd be suprised...

nobody's really responded with anything useful, though. Lexan is the material used in glass replacement on race cars. Obviously if you did this you'd lose your rear defrost if that makes any difference. Lexan is also known to warp over time in direct sunlight so that's another thing to watch...

great, i'll pick up some of the stop leak stuff first :thumb:

Yea i checked the fluid when it started making noise and I filled it up quite a bit. It's not really a squeaking sound.

something i noticed....the whining almost goes away when I let my car warm up this morning. Any idea what that's about?

I can't tell for sure, but I believe my power steering pump is making a really annoying whine. I think it's the power steering because an older camaro i had made a similar whine. The only difference is there's nothing wrong with my power steering and it doesn't ever feel like it's going to die...

i don't remember the exact figures, but they were neglible(trying to sound smart but can't even remember how to spell the word) with the gas cooler in the engine bay.BUT. If you're sitting the staging lines at a drag strip in 100* heat cooling everything is well worth it. My old car ran...

nitrous can make any slow car fast...I don't know how long I'd trust that Saturn motor to withstand the spray, though. In the meantime make as much money with it as possible :thumb:

water runs through the heads to cool them....that's why he is leaking oil and water if he blew a head gasket.

I just saw the link to the PocketLogger and I'm definitely getting that but I'm wondering about the knock part.As hard as it would be to keep an eye on the screen while making a WOT through the gears, if you saw some knock, would it be a good indication that (saying you're running the...

Yea, I don't see why it wouldn't work if you had an AWD, disabled the front wheel drive part, and put a beefy rear end in it to handle the power.

sorry to have inconvienced you :rolleyes: it doesn't slip, thanks.

Can I can check engine codes somewhere on the block? The engine has been replaced so I can't assume they replaced the type that was originally installed in the car.

$1500 is a bad deal for a mint 4g63?

no, it's accelerating....it's a very wierd sensation.

I've been using nitrous on my domestic cars for the last few years, but I know turbos like nitrous so I'm wondering if the talon engine likes nitrous too.Forget the ZEX kit and all that ricer garbage. I'd do like a NOS single jet (and fuel jet?) somewhere in the intake setup. Where's the...

I've been a car guy for a while, but this is baffling me.When at WOT, my rpms go up to like 7k, but then will back off to 5k, and then back up to 7k, and I'll shift.It's the same sensation when the car is losing traction, but sometimes it does this when I'm in like 2nd gear going ~40mph...

clutches scare me and I think my stocker is about to bite it so I'm looking at the act 2600.I read about the flywheel needing to be resurfaced as well. What kinda prices am I looking at to get everything taken care of?Thanks, PJ'92 Tsi AWD

i just fixed my idle surge by tightening up the BISS....take a look at that. Zero cost fix :thumb:

as ricer as it is, i wish the stock bov did make a little noise, but I'm not gonna #### up the fuel by removing the recir. hose.

I guess I should ask how do you wire a 2G MAS to a 1G car?

will they list the maf with the harness or what do I look for?Thanks for the link!

umm...vp3 expensive...I saw a 1G maf on ebay for $5 so I can't imagine 2G's are that much more pricey.

jezus guys, with those mods I don't see why he can't be somewhere in the 12's.

So would it be ok if I did this mod on a relatively stock 1G? I think I screwed up my stock MAF and eventually will upgrade my engine to higher HP levels...

I've seen a few guys with this, why do you do this?

now he justs needs to remove the stock headlights and get the right hood...nice work though.

or the rings are shot

i'm not worried about finding replacement motor, is this a humongous pain in the ass. And who would have a warranty on a 11 year old car?

My pass. side is about dead and my driver's side is slowing down and is also off it's track. How much is it gonna cost to get these working properly?

I know it's gear oil, but I'm curious if this means something is about to break or if a seal is bad.

i have awd...so is my rear diff cover leaking or something?

I moved the talon out from the garage and saw a pool of oil from where the rear of the car was sitting. After a few curse words, I came here to find out what is the problem.

Great thanks. I don't even know what the problem is with my car yet so I'm just gonna leave it unplugged for the time being.

I'm so tired of the idle surging I guess you could call it that I unplugged the idle switch so it just sits at 1500rpm the whole time when I'm idling. Is this bad to do this while driving the car?

Everything is hooked back up properly...now where was that idle surge page I read about a month ago??

It was fine before, I fixed a few things and reset the ECU so hopefully it'll straighten itself out now

I unplugged my battery and remembered it resets the ECU. Is there anything special I should do to let the ECU learn?'92 Talon TSi AWD

1G, I thought my ride was under my name, my bad.'92 Talon Tsi AWD

I took out the smaller of the 2 maf screens as instructed and now my idle jumps from 1500-2000rpms.

Actually, I know where to start because of the fact that it wasn't doing this before I did the free mods, but how can I tell if it's leaking? I did a quick scan and all of the hoses look to be on properly??

ok, where do I start looking for this boost leak, I finally have some time to look at this thing!!

Hmmm....I'm pretty sure I plugged it back in, but I can't be sure :D My gas mileage is kinda sucking lately too, don't know if it's related. I'll check the hoses, thanks guys. :thumb:
