OK to make a long story short...... i have a rebuilt 6 bolt forged pistons/stock rods, new bearings, machined block etc. Well the car only went on occasional drives around the block and stuff, no boost, for roughly 10 months and mostly sat in the garage cause i could not yet tune it (car only...
Ok new info:I made a couple more pulls and the logger will still read 43 counts of knock at about 7-8 psi (Not a WOT pull) but my o2's are at .85v when under boost on every pull!!......isnt that about where it should be? Fuel trims are all at about 100%, I have wiseco 8.5:1 pistons...
Well i have an internal gate on the PTE set at whatever the spring setting is, i thought it was about seven. Could my loud exhaust be triggering off the knock sensor? Thanks for the info NOSLO2PT0 :thumb:Edit: Would race gas be of on the new motor, just curious?
Ok, i just got my car a few days ago with a fresh rebuilt motor. I babied the car on the way home (10 miles) because i though that the was the most common used method when breaking in a new motor. I then read here that some people were having problems with there rings sealing right when they...
My friend is about to buy a 2g GSX for 5k, the car is well worth 5k because of the mods done to it but it has some rod knock. Other than the rod knock the car seems to be in great shape, Good compression no shaft play etc. My question is, what would be the best way to fix the rod knock? My...
Nice, thanks for that info. I'm a member at that yahoo group but didnt find any info on who else might sell the serial/usb cable that i need. I'll have to look again, Thansk for your quick responses. :)
1. Does anyone know if you can use a normal USB cable (or a cable i can buy locally) to link the e-manage up with a laptop or is there a specially made cable that you need to buy? (I know about the one Greddy sells but its real pricey) It looks like a cable you could pick up at a local PC store...
Some N/T's Had dual tip mufflers,mostly on the 1gb's.Talon Esi's had dual's,Eclipse GS's had duals,the difference was that the Turbo's had 2 "Real tailpipes" that had resonators on them,the N/T's had wannabe's,they had 2 small pipes that came out of the muffler then covers that went over them...
Excessive blow-by from your vavle cover would lead me to think its your rings.Trust me you don't to smoke from your exhaust at idle,start up,or when your driving normal to have a problem happening or about to happen with your pistons or rings.How much smoke are you getting?Barley noticable?Does...
Well i emailed them and they said that there VRS o2 housing elim DP had a split in it,from the pic it looks like it doesn't,but they said it does.Anyone have the VRS o2 elim DP??Comments?Thanks!
Got everything about ready to slap on the car except the downpipe and o2 housing which i am trying to buy as we speak.I need an o2 housing that is not going to split the the WG and turbine paths into two different parts.The reason why is because i have a PTE 50 trim that has the divider between...
So you mean setting the base setting dial @ -20% for the 550's,leave everything else where they are and reset the ECU?as soon as i change my idle setting the low trim goes up within seconds.And it seems like its stuck at 132,i can't get anything lower than that,Kinda boggled here,Thanks for your...
Started logging today and i cant get my fuel trims lower than 132.No matter how much i richen it i can't get them any lower.Does the GM MAS have something to do with it?I am tuning with a translator and my mods are listed,Thanks in advance:thumb:
I am starting to notice alot of blow by with my car now,i had a filter on there but it kept blowing oil out so i put some silicone hose on there and dumped it under the car(Awaiting catchcan),my car is also smoking(white)a little now,mostly when i rev high or at boost.Has anyone else had this...
No the car ran great before the install,yes i did pull it off when the car was running.i don't understand,i did not touch anything except the injectors and the fuel rail in the process,how could something else go wrong?coinsedence?
Ok so i got my 550's,installed them and the car runs like shit!I leaned out the translator according to the injectors,double checked my install and everything i could think of.I ran out of light so i called it a day.Next morning i go out to start working on it again and someone broke into my...
I was only showing some FAQ's since he wanted them.yes the 16g's have been around for a while and of course would be showing up on more cars,but i was only stating some FAQ's.Personally if i had a 2g and was debating these two turbos i would be just about dead even on which one to put in.I have...
http://www.dsmtimes.org/fwd.htmthere ya go smart ass!!!!!#16 ET:11.807 Turbo:Small 16g#36 ET:12.752 Turbo:FP big 28Looks like almost a whole second faster!Even with the small 16g!:pI would do more research next time before you give advice!!!!Nice car though Tom!:thumb:
The more DSM's the better!!!!!:thumb:
Both are great cars,You want a race car?Get AWD.....This subject has been BEATEN to death,try a search and you should find tons of pros and cons for both AWD and FWD.
16g!!But it does require a kit for a 2g,unlike the t-28 which bolts right up.I would hold out though,get some fuel upgrades(Pump,injector's,AFC)Then go with an even bigger turbo than those,there are turbos out there that are just as streetable as those two yet make more power(Green,50 trim)I...
This is the third time i have blown off my blow threw UIC pipes!:mad: I have made sure they are very tight,it always pops off where the UIC pipe connects to the 3" MAS(First connection)I positioned it a little better and tightened them down REAL good,so hopefully this fixes it.Anyone else have...
