I'm out in maui. only 92 awd tsi on the island. got a buddy that has the 92 fwd tsi and 3 others with 2g's but dont know them at all. Anyone else in Maui?

so i got a buddy thats bringing a timing light to work tomorrow and ill set the base timing at 5 deg btdc. from there ill start with the tuning. hes got a wrx that i went in a ride in the other day. one word....slow. ill show him why he should have bought a dsm. ill keep you posted.

Well the idea was that while im in there i can replace the stick and repair the problem. talked with my parts department. Found 2 diffrent types of bushings. One is 1.83$ and the other is 10 bucks for the"blue". I got a 92 awd talon. Whats the count on the blues?

well just ordered a short shifter from e bay. if it works out without the bushings then great but that question still was not answered by a link. thanks for the great effort on that reply.

been looking into this. is a ebay short shifter going to replace the bushings used on the shifter shaft" the part that the shifter rotates on"? don't want to waste money on something that i don't need to buy. like only needing a few as apposed to 7 of the 24594b's. thanks for the input.

Thanks bro! Will order today.

hey guys. i got a 92 talon tsi 5 speed. in first gear or any gear i can still move the stick side to side. got the skateboard bearings in the trans side cables. it seems upon inspection that the actual shifter assembly as in that moves the cables are internally worn. is there a fix for this or...

i can feel it in the front/ steering wheel. looked all around the forums and have not found a case like this. well not that i know of but a few post's make me think there are a few issues that im over looking.

so...i have a 92 awd talon tsi. i have replaced the head and set all the timing marks correctly and triple checked them. i was snooping around the forums and stumbled on a thread that was talking about lack of power and knock count.one thing i was thinking is that i have installed the cas...

would a "Napa brand" be an issue? i got knock issues too. just thinking of the obvious.

whats up ###. im in maui but only have 1gb parts. not too sure what mixes and matches. injectors,cams, stuff like that.

its proven that the intercooler i am using is a pos! so to take care of that my trv1859 is in the mail. after that i will get a meth/water injection setup. then i will do my final tune and take her to the track. ill keep everyone posted with the results but im sure the intercooler is the problem...

knock sensor was replaced about a year ago and recently inspected. the intercooler i have is the cx racing vertical flow. i got a treadstone trv1859 on the way along with some radiant heat barrier for the cool side of the ic piping. this shoulddo the trick as soon as its installed and retuned...

i had a turbo xs intercooler that worked well till i nailed a fence post. it worked well but it was a giant intercooler. im liking my route that i have gone with but the ic got to go. you think anyone would buy that old one from me?the trv 1859 seems like it should work a lot better jut from...

you got it NHerron! if this is the issue i have been needing to adderss for a while iwill never buy a cx racing i/c ever again! (still probably wont) but i will need to start my tune all over again to find the sweet spot so i can get this thing to the track. not sure if i know of anyone using...

well im going to take the dive and buy the trv1859 tonight. hope it works out good.

would a big 16g be too much for the tr185 at 22psi? don't want to get this treadstone performance ic and have the same problem as i got right now. i have looked all over and found nothing about proven results with this tr185. Or would the 1859 be the better option? thanks!

i guess its the cx racing intercooler i got is a big frying pan that i mounted as in intercooler. so next step is a treadstone TRV185 witch is good for 750ph as they stay. sounds like a plan!!!! damn heat soak got me down. i love the good news!!! but the price is the problem. anyone know of a...

yup thanks pal. seen the link........im sure you were spoon fed a few times but no worrys. sorry its been a long day. i dident need that remark...

would that be able to handle 400hp or so?

so this is why i went with this setup....#1: had intercooler piping laying around from other installs i have done to the car because of front end collisions.#2: did not see that there was a problem with the way i thought up the intercooler piping idea. infact i thought a short route was...

i got this cx racing intercooler. hope the pic came out. but im having knock issues as some have seen on other threads. im wondering if this is not big enough for what im trying to get out of this setup.cx racing 16g at 20psi. any ideas would help. Thanks!

could it possibly be that i have a bad sensor? i bought mine from napa. should i have gone oem?

hahahha!!!! i will fix this tommarow to see if thats what i did wrong..do you know a spec for it? i know i over did it for sure. been having knock issue from the first run after the build. god i hope this is the issue!

i c what your saying but its all in the ecm. i dont have dsm link like you have so its hard to combat the knock at the moment. this seems to be a job for meth/water injection. ill have to take a few pictures of the data log so i can sow you guys whats going on. it sucks to have an old school...

16*base timing? im looking for base timing settings that would work well to combat knock. thanks!

first of all i have adjusted the fpr to 45 psi and am running br7es plugs. right now they are cracking down on loud exhaust's so i had to install the baffle for now and now i cant get much more then 13psi now. need to adj the ebc and start over again. ill try cutting back on the timing and see...

yeah its agressive timing maps form jeff at dsm chips. i thought we all need to run a base timing of 5* all the time no matter what set up?

i guess all these cars gauges are like that. i was just thinking about it a day ago is it loos low but i dont think its anything to worry about. and it also shows why my buddys ballance shaft removed 4g63 has high oil pressure. god i love this site!

that would be something to check. i do think that did the correct setting on the gear. it would be something to check but i added 2% fuel on the high load setting on the maft gen 2 and it was a lot better. not much knock at all but i should look into the timing. its been a while ...i need to...

i do have a wide band, innovate ls-1. i havent got it to work correctly on the lap top yet. changed the fuel filter and noticed a little less knock. im thinking its the intake air temp. i guess some race gas would be one way to figure out if its air temp issue. i did up the fpr to 40 psi.

if its slow at the shop friday ill pump up the pressure and see whats going on with the duty cycle. im also going to clean the maf and change the fuel filter and get back to you. i hate knock and its taking the fun out of driving!!!!! thanks guys!!!

im doing all the tuning for the car. do you think that the 190 is not pushing enough fuel? i would like to use what i got for now because i dont have the money to start fresh.was talking a lot with turbo bob from the full throttle network forums. he was telling me to keep the trims in the 80%...

well i got injector clinic 750cc injectors that were installed about 8 months ago and the quality of fuel is 92 octane. i dont fill up the tank past half just so i dont have water in the fuel. on the timing part of the question. it seems its kinda aggressive because of the stage 3 ecu tune for...

so i got a bunch of mods and did some tuning but get a bunch of knock. not able to show a log yet but i can saythat im getting knock at 15 psi in second gear. full boost is 20 psi because ofcreep. been thinking of water/methinjection. would this be the way to solve the problem? getting...

hey snakeyes. sorry it took so long. been out of the lopp for a while. yes thats me on the full throttle fourms. seems ppl been slacking as i have been trying to get some awnsers about things and no reply. lol! have a good one!

i have been messing with my aem tru boost for a while now but never had good luck. it might be a user error on the setup. i got spring pressure at 15 psi crack pressure but have been still getting a few waste gate dumps on wot. its not holding well. its problay my fault. let me know if any of...

damn dude you got some rust under there!

so i know its been a while but i have not got this problem figured out. was trying to take a brake from all this stuff and got into a new hobby for a bit but i wiill always love this or "these" cars! well i just got the mmcd working again."batt died" but have got some logs recorded. im realy...

Im waiting for someone to tub a mighty max with a motor like that!..........humm.......NEW PROJECT!!!

I'm just trying to rule some things out. Everything seem's ok but the temp raises kinda high then what im used to seeing. There's no water in the oil, no oil in the cooling system. i do notice that there's a little spray by the radiator cap but i cant find where it's coming from. Is it possable...

Well this sucks dudes! :banghead: I was wishing and saying prayers that it wasent a bad tank design, but I guess you can't win every time. Thanks for the posts!

i was trying the 20 psi and it kinda seems like it's running hot. Could I have blown a head gasket? I got ARP studs, but what psi do the head gaskets let go?Thanks!

bradah i no like kill da motor. 20 psi too high! domb by i burn one piston. i think i when blow up da head gasket. bugga runnin hot! I get da arp head studs but i not shua what da gesket can hando. what u think ###?

I don't know much grammar. But I do Know Hawaii has one of the worst public education systems in the U.S.A. Any way, thanks for the help with trying to figure this out. You dont have to get all worked up about it, after all im the one with the problems! lol! It just goes to show that this thread...

Well my profile is filled out. My ebay turbo is internal gate as they all come for the 4g63t! Its not ported but i have a turbonetics t3 that im looking into but needs a rebuild. so back to the first question.....witch i guess ill solve my self. Down pipe is too big making boost creep from too...

i got a awd 1gb but it will do it on half tank. ill need to fill her up and hit the curves while logging i guess. but i know that it is bogging out. i got a lc-1 with a maft gen 2 useing the wb tracking at 11.6 afr. i know i need to change the fuel filter"im at 46000 miles" but have had trouble...

i got the tru boost installed correctly but having over boost problems. i got a cx racing big 16g, fmic, blow through, tial 50mm bov,atmo dump,3" megan racing dp-cat back, no pcv"catch can set up. i got the waste gate spring pressure set to 10psi. would like to boost 15psi on A and 18psi on B...

i got a 1gb and i have installed a 190 pump. i have a issue with left turns. car cuts out when in a high g left. any ideas?i need to logg this but i cant get the logs on the comp. any one know how? is there a thread for this? Thanks!!!!

i turned down the boost to 12psi and the waste gate cracks at 10 but still boosting 18psi+. ??? well new prob to mess with. they dont specify enough on spring crack pressure. aem tru boost is going to be the end to my motor! lol!
