Hey guys, I just got done with my rebuild and I'm getting very little vacuum like -2 to -4hg I know it should be lower. I have checked mechanical timing it's perfect, boost leak tested to 40psi no leaks. Idle is set at 950rpm. Base timing is *5 degrees, base idle and fuel pressure are all set...
Forgive me if this in the wrong thread, I am thinking about using push lock air lines and fittings for all of my vacuum lines has any one done this and what was their experience?Here is what I'm thinking of using...
Recently I bought a used head that was barely used. Fully potter and polished. Ti retainers and bc springs along with 1mm over ferrea valves and new guides and 3G lifters. When I recieved the head and bag of cam caps and lifters I installed them to find that the I1 cam cap is missing. My...

i picked up a block from a guy 4 years ago and can not find him now to see what he had done to the block. I think he had 2g Pistons in the 6 bolt block and the big 1g rods in it. But now I'm pulling it apart to put forged internals in it and I can not figure out what Pistons it has. I calipered...

Hey everyone !,It's been a long time sence I have been on here. Here is a little back story,One day I was leaving town for work and got the gas pretty good. As a glanced across the gauges I noticed a dropping oil pressure gauge I looked up and saw the car smoking badly . I shit it off and...
I am hoping its just a bad lifter but i am sure its not, The car smokes on start up and wont build much boost 8#s maybe. there is a loud tic tic tic coming from the head, The car also will hardly idle. I have no boost leaks or anything like that.I am pretty sure that i need new rings but i...
I am undecided on what i want to do, So i am looking for some input.I have to re build my motor and i am not sure if i would be better off staying with a bored .020 over 2.0, or going with a 2.3 stroker. Here are my questions.1. With the exact same supporting mods, what kind of horse...
Well, In short time I have to pull my motor for a rebuild.:hmm: So... I figured this would be a good time to do some clean up under the hood. I just am not sure what to do to make it have that clean look.. I do not want to get rid of the cruise control, Or re locate the battery to the trunk...
Well after all the bad luck i have had with my car, I still cant get rid of it.After blowing the oil cooler seal and loosing most of the oil in my engine the car runs like crap. I did a compression test and it came back 115,125,150,150 I have great oil pressure but when the car is under...
I am needing to do a rebuild on my motor, i ran a compression test and it cam back 115,125,150,150 and the car runs really badly.I was looking at stroker kits and saw a 2.0 stroker? would that be worth doing or would i be better off going with a 2.3 stroker, My mods list is current and i...
OK... here we goThe car free revs fine and seems to run good other then no power. When im not under boost it seems ok but as soon as i try to step on it and boost comes up the car runs like crap and smokes pretty bad but on under boost. Also i keep blowing my dip stick out and blowing oil...
Well some of you might have read about my ordeal, For those of who have not here is the short version...Long story short, My oil cooler seal blew out on my car and it ran 95% of the oil out of the engine. I was running the car hard in 4th gear about 6500 rpm, I shut it down as soon as i saw...
I am looking for the seal that goes between the oil cooler and the oil filter bracket.. Its round and looks allot like the o-ring on a oil filter but bigger. I talked to napa, and the local Dodge dealer and the only way i can get it though them is buying the oil cooler for 500$WTFplease help
Well....Today i woke up and did not want to go to work. But i figured i better since i was only working half a day. So i went out to start the car to warm it up. Got in 5 minutes later and went to back out of the garage and i had no throttle. I had forgotten to hook it back up after fixing...
I did some looking and searching but i dont think im am creeping.I had the car set at 15psi and it would hit and stay solid. Now that i have all the things i need i turned it up to 20psi. Now it will hit 20psi them fall to 15psi and stay. Some times it only falls to 17psi..?
Finally.. Today i had the time and was able to get the car in to do a boost leak test. I had already thought i had a few leaks in the back of my head.First i found be 1g BOV flange was warped. so i planed it and its good to go
Next i see the previous owner just took the vaccume lines off of...
Will ECM Link reset if the battery is disconnected for a few hours? My lap top is in the shop right now. so I can't check my settings. But since I had my battery disconnected I noticed my car lost power and runs rich like it did before I retuned it awhile back.
I noticed i was loosing some oil but was not sure how, I ran the car pretty hard lastnight and parked it in the garage. When i pulled the car out this moring i saw oil on the floor it was coming out the flex section of the down pipe.So i think there must be a o-ring or seal out in the...

I was looking for some help on selection for a turbo upgrade for my setup. i want something that will be streetable and pretty much bolt on. im looking for 350-400hp. Right now i have a ported small 16g. I was thinking maybe a ported EVO III Big 16g.:hmm:Any other suggestions?
I am new to using the ecm link and tuning. i am looking for some advice on my log. the car runs like crude from 4500 rpm up unless the car is cold it seems to run better. i believe i am running lean in the 4500 rpm range and on up. please help me tune my toy :)Thank you for any help.
Here is my first 3rd gear log. I am just starting out on using the link and have read all the WiKi pages on ECUTuning. Any help would be awesome.Thank you
Well, good news and bad news. I took it out for a spin. Normal driving it runs great. Cruises at 65 no sweat. However if you try to get much more than 6lbs of boost, it cuts out a cylinder. I am confident it is just ignition. The wires are crap and the plugs are old. Had the logger on it...
I just recieved my Punishment FMIC kit today. and they included what appears to me to be a knock off of the greddy type s BOV. are the worth a whoot or should i just stick to my 1g BOV.Thanks:hmm:
