    Turbo Compressor Housing 3 in TD06 + Wheel Garrett 60-1 | eBayI've upgraded a td05h e316g with a 20g compressor wheel and cover before, that went well and it saw 28psi regularly for several thousand miles before I sold it - BUT - a 60-1 compressor wheel?!?! That just doesn't seem right...20g...

    4 gear grinds but can go into gear with a bit of force

    Well, I got a used transmission off a member here. 74k miles on the transmission, looks very very clean, he said it had no grinds or any issues with the gears. I got it in and it felt very nice, much more solid than my old dead transmission - EXCEPT the first time I went to go into 4th...put it...

    Does GM MAF rotation/clocking matter?

    I know direction matters, there is only one way it can go - but what about how the sensor it's self is clocked? Like with the pigtail facing up, to the side, down etc. I've looked through a lot of pictures and it seems no one uniformly keeps the same position.

    My FWD 5spd just dumped all its fluid out via the bell housing...

    Well, I have no clue WTF happened but I was driving like normal, parked at Walmart to get a qt of oil (forgot we need 4.5 instead of 4.0) - I come out and there is a huge ass puddle of transmission fluid. I drove it briefly like that and it still shifts perfectly fine...no grinds, no trouble...

    Trouble with injector scaling for e85.

    I put in a set of PTE 1000's today. Fuel pressure is 43.5psi, Walbro 255 in tank. Drained the tank down to empty, ran the car until it died on 93oct. Put in 5 gallons of e85 and the fun began.I'm using a 95 eprom and Tunerpro/SAFC for tuning. I know the deadtime for my injectors according to...

    AFRs fine at WOT then dead lean randomly?

    I'm trying to figure out if my wideband is acting funny or my fuel setup. For now, I'm on 550cc injectors and an EVO 8 Fuel pump. Stock FPR. Base set with a MAF-T, dialed in with a SAFC. Wether the SAFC is 0'd out or not, I'll go to WOT in 3rd and it will slow 10.0 to 10.5, then just 19 out of...

    Head/camshaft journals are oversized?? What the...

    Alright, this is a very confusing one - decided to post it since I can't find a lick of information on it.I pulled this head from a Jasper rebuilt motor last year, it had 130k on it - 30k on the rebuild. The bottom end was in ok shape but the head looked VERY clean...so I kept it around...

    Knock near the steering rack? *vid*

    Long story short, not this past winter but the year before then, our car fish tailed and spun off the road - driver side tire nailed a huge pile of snow that was frozen (ice basically). The wheel/tire took the blunt of the damage - bent 2 control arms, blasted the tire right off the rim. After...

    I'm in quite the hitch. I should have everything to get my car back on the street in about 4 weeks - EXCEPT MY RINGS. Last year I had my machinist fix a 6 bolt I got for a cheap price, he said .030 overbore would takeout the damage in one of the cylinders, I found a set of NPR 2g Pistons 0.030...

    General How did I kill 2 EPROM ECUs?

    I'm very fluent with electronics. I do lots of soldering for volt mods etc on computers and various other electronics. I bought 2x ZIF sockets from Moates, desoldered the chip off one and cleaned up the holes. Soldered the new socket on and burnt a quick chip to make sure the ECU was ok.Pop...

    Why won't my 550's lean out?

    I'm having this odd problem with my MAFT. I finally got my wideband going and it pegs out at 10.0 rich at WOT, doesn't budge. Turbo is a 14b at 20psi, I have 550cc's correctly set via the MAFT and it was only turned lean enough via RPM mode to make boost cut stop. No knock and consistant timing...

    It won't blow off, at all.

    I'll get right to the point. My car REFUSES to blow off. Instead, it surges like mad. I verified the surge with a neutral rev and my hand by the compressor inlet, you can definitely feel it coming out. Here are the details.No intake. 14b, 7cm^2 hotside Wastegate to boost source 2.5"...

    Fresh rebuild, 8 miles, spun bearing, 'stuck' wrist pin?

    I did a rebuild of a 6 bolt I bought off a friend. It was bored 0.030 by a reputable machinist. He also did the 1g rods to accept 2g pistons and mounted them too. I put the build together over a few days, bottom end went together very nicely! New Clevite bearings, standard size as crank was in...

    Why is 2g eprom code so taboo?

    My car came with a 1995 ECU which is about to be socketed (by myself with a good quality ZIF socket). Naturally, I'm a DIY'er as far as anything goes, building an engine, welding, wiring, painting - etc...this goes as far as including knowledge of tuning, what makes power what doesn't. So I...

    Standard piston rings on oversized pistons?

    I wasn't originally going to be doing a mini rebuild but I figure while the engine is apart, re-ring it. I have a brand new set of rings for std size bore pistons, but the pistons in my engine are 1mm/0.040 over. Would the std rings work on over bored pistons? If not I'm more than prepared to...

    2g MAF vs MAFTw/ 450cc - performance same?

    Since I lack the feedback of a wideband, I found my set of 450cc injectors in one of my random car parts boxes. So I threw them back in, unplugged the MAFT and plugged in the 2g MAF. Ran great. Tried the MAFT with 450cc settings, after adjusting idle just slightly, also runs great. Stock for...

    Ideal Oil Pressure?

    I've been combating a massive oil leak (cracked in half rear main) and a bent up oil pan and lost nearly 2/3rds of my oil and came close to spinning 2 bearings.

    Caught failing rod bearings early, crank is untouched - lucky?

    As my adventure had gone today in another thread, I was developing an odd tick or knock type sound. The sound was not occuring at idle and was loud enough to hear throughout the rpm band sorta like lifter tick. I shrugged it off because I figured it was due to light weight oil (just gone done...

    Can too much oil cause lifter tick/knock?

    When my motor hit 500 miles after a stock rebuild (new bearings/pistons) I switched over to a 5w30 synthetic motor oil to run in the car. It's at about 700 miles now and I'm beginning to notice an odd tick, sorta like lifter tick, increased with the RPM but I'm not 100% sure if it goes away...

    ECUflash EvoScan & 2g STFT & LTFT

    EvoScan reads Low, Mid & High LTFT. It also reads STFT. I know 1g's have Low, Mid and High fuel trims where as 2g's only have STFT & LTFT. EvoScan has STFT which is fine, but it has 3 LTFT's...High never changes, low easily changes...and mid occasionally changes, when at light acceleration...

At the socket the sensor seems to be functioning but I went ahead and replaced it anyways. The new o2 sensor is functioning at the socket as well however when I went to...

    Bled lifters, no tick. Rebuild/bled again - massive tick?!?

    Built my first DSM motor/head and I made sure I bleed the lifters because I didn't want to bend any valves. Lifters have 145k miles on them. The whole time the motor didn't tick or 'lifter tick' at all. I was honestly surprised. I had to pull the head and checkout the valves due to a timing...

    Did I bend any valves?

    Accidentally timed the intake cam off by 180 deg, didn't crank for more than 5 ~ 10 seconds before I realized what I had done. Pulled it back apart, timed it correctly this time and it runs fine...what could've happened or gone wrong?

    Who here has built a motor THEMSELVES?

I swear this whole time I feel like I'm having a constant anxiety attack...like I don't want to...
