Catch Can!The stock PVC and valve cover port are good for the stock turbo. higher boost levels = high cylinder pressure = high crank case pressure. That pressure needs a place to go. Easiest place to go is the oil return line. Oil backs up and spills out of the turbo on the exhaust side...

Check timing again. Spray starter fluid in the intake pipe.

I moved to Jeff City Mo. Finally got my talon able to make that drive.

pics of turbo feed, filter, drain, and cooler setupI removed the stock water to oil cooler and replaced it with a Mocal Sandwich Plate with built in thermostat. Why? Because I didnt want to take the time to dig into the belts to install a 7bolt OFH. I had to trim the center bolt for this to...

turbo blown? dumping oil into downpipe?

Damaged parts

I am in the middle of rebuilding my HX40. I have a 6balde 60mm\12 blade turbine HX40. I am rebuilding the entire center section, new comp wheel and new 10blade turbine wheel. My old oil ring on the tubine side is burnt, worn down, and no good. Wheels contacted housing so everything needs to...

What are your cam gear settings?

use cam gears to reduce overlap and gain some top end power.

I have a 2.3 hx40 in bep55 ar housing with kelford 272s, power dies up top due to the small exhaust housing.What exhaust housing do u have and what cams do u have?

Im still in little rock. I have to rebuild my holset turbo next weekend. But I will be moving to Columbia MO at the end of May.

If that car has the same bolt on housing that you do, and the same compressor, and the same cams. Then the difference in power is down to the tune, cam timing, and any mods to the head. Intake and exhaust manifold play a part, but cam timing is what you should adjust. I run my Kelfords...

surge in boost? u mean like 30psi in 5th gear spikes up to 40? If so thats your wastegate and boost controller setup.Im HX40 small bep housing with 3 port EBC and Tial MVS wastegate recirculated back into exhaust and I get zero surge. My turbo will hold 40psi up to my 8k redline using...

.68ar housing. If you looking to make power 8k-9k rpm, u need a larger AR housing. Try adjust cam gears to dial in LESS overlap.

what makes u think the HX40 is chocking? U could switch from a 12 blade to 10 blade setup to help with backpressure. Or you could just have the wastegate open more, dropping boost, but a dose of nitrous will bring it back up.

The major win for the Evo Exh Manifold is the fact that it has a 7cm outlet. If you still on stock turbo keep the stock manifold. No need in risking the broken bolts just to swap to a manifold that wont do nothing for you.If you doing AutoX and want quick spool you need to make the distance...

Dry nitrous pre or post turbo? how did you add fuel?

Umm this is going to depend on how you want to use it.Are you going to spray the nitrous to flash the converter at the line OR are you going to shoot nitrous out the hole?I plan on using a 65-75 shot to flash the converter while staging.A wet should should be about 6 inches from the...

I am pretty sure I blew my oil seal on my HX40. Crank case pressure was the main cause, and my drain was too small. I fixed the crank case pressure by getting a valve cover with two 12an ports, catch can with two 12an inlets, and one 12an outlet with vacuum supplied from turbo intake.My old...

solution ever found?

86 and 85 are the power and ground for the relay. It doesnt matter which is which.87 and 30, one should be connected to ground, the other to ECU Pin 91 on the 2G. Doesnt matter which is which, they will only connect when the relay is active.So the 12volts that trigger the brake lights off...

Check the injector resistor pack.Also make sure that STP stuff didnt clog up an injector.You really need to start car, let it idle, then one by one disconnect the injector harness and listen to see if engine speed changes. Find which 1 or 2 cylinders arent firing.

Bad Power Transistor Unit around 30-40 buck used.When they go out, they usually drop cylinders 2 and 3. Engine will idle but struggle depending on what cams you running. Will sound real cammy. RPMs on tach will read half of what the engine is really doing. So jumping from 700 to 1400 rpm...

Check your ground wire for the WB and the gauge. U using link? i had that issue before and fixed it.

Transmission is performing great.

brake pedal switch sends 12volts to brakes when pedal is pressed. use that 12volts as a signal for an arc-2 type box, or to a relay that sends a ground to the ecu clutch signal input for ecmlink.

The problems with Chinabay manifolds are the material and the welds. They have been getting better and better as the years go by. For example the $300 CXR manifold I am using is made from 11 gauge metal. Its heavy and its tough. The welds arent perfect but the manifold has been holding a...

Nitrous kits are $4-500. A twin scroll manifold is 800 minimum, plus two wastegates, new down pipe, new rad fan setup, etc... And I had the kit laying around from my old car.

I would like to run low 10s on my HX40 but I doubt I will be able to do it without nitrous. I have a 6 blade HX40 from Justin in a Bep 55 AR housing. I wanted streetable DD auto car. The small housing does choke the top end. I installed some Kelford 272, JMF IM, and CXR tubular EM. The car...

Why do people run these manifolds? Ive never seen a dyno comparing this manifold to a stock one. I did see a post where someone went from a FP manifold back to a evo3 manifold and they lost 7hp on the dyno but that was done on different days.

Should be running before Christmas. My transmission's gear set was toast. It was cheaper to just swap over my valvebody and end clutches to a spare transmission. Went head and upgraded to Kiggly front cluthes, spare differential welded. All done by Rix Racing in West Virginia

What Offset are those wheels?I am in Little Rock. I purchased by 98 Talon in MO close to you from a board member.

I think I understand after reading this:http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/true-compressor-surge-info-elimination.357281/

What? Surge or boost spike?

Even if the cams were stock cams, how does excess psi not cause the wastegate to open if boost goes above a set level?

Remove the boost controller and run wastegate pressure and see how it does Post an idle log or something! That way we can see how Link is setup. You can post logs and let members here make the adjustments. street tuning with real load and airflow is better than a dyno in my opinion.

Don't go back to that tuner, I don't think the cams are the issue. How exactly is your wastegate setup? Being controlled with Link? Using top and bottom ports? Without pictures and a log................I don't see how you could expect people to diagnose the problem.

There is an o ring that sit on top of valve body, if it is torn or missing....no reverse

http://forcedfour.com/shiftbox.htm It does shift for your if you program it.

The clock spring has 5 wires. So you get 5 choices. 1 goes to horn, 1 for upshift, 1 for down shift, 1 for ground, 1 for nitrous.I tried grounding the upshift and down shift to the steering column to free up another wire but the ground wasnt clean.

They have different versions: lite, plus, color, etc... The lite version doesnt shift for you, but the other more expensive versions do.

Dont reverse the polarity or you will fry the pump. Then it will short out even if the polarity is reversed back to the correct way.I am mounting mine under the engine bay fuse box and wiring it up to the passenger side found light harness. I will also wire the fog light fuse to the radio...

Forced Four Shift Box Lite. You have to use the buttons, the lite version doesn't come with a hand held unit. I plan on upgrading to the version where u can use buttons and\or program shift points. forcedfour.com

Just an update. The gear set is destroyed. Clutches appear to be fine. A few things happen to the tranny which could have caused this. 1- tow truck towed AWD auto car for 45 miles with the rear wheels on the ground (I did sue them but I lost, at least the driver was fired)...

Shift buttons wired to shift box thru the clock spring for the airbag\horn

A large 200+ shot of nitrous would get u close.

A 6 blade HX40 Pro in a bep 55 housing should spool up the same but choke about 500-1000 rpms later. The DSM 76,82,and 86 are better turbos but they cost $2000 compared to a junk yard HX40.
