it was a leak, but I fixed it and it was running super good then about an hour later I blew my turbo...

Alright I'll check over everything, thanks everyone ill let you know what I find!

I completely removed the belt and replaced everything and reset my timing :/Also I didn't do a boost leak test but would that cause me running so rich?

After replacing my timing belt tensioner my car now backfires like crazy and the air/fuel pegs at 10 under boost car runs great when not in boost and idles fine. It's on a tune it ran fine on before.

Okay I just posted this but I guess it didnt work, My issue is after replacing my timing belt tensioner when my car is under boost it pegs to 10 and backfires like crazy there is no reason for this happening that i can think of please help the car runs fine when not in boost and is on a tune...

Alrighty well my problem started when my timing belt tensioner broke and i had to fix it. I am using the dsm link 2.5 so when the batt. is unplugged you lose your tune but I saved it on my computer the problem is now that whenever I get any amount of boost my air/fuel pegs to 10 and my car just...

thanks everyone I have been hearing a lot about trying a twin scroll set up, i'll have to just mess around with it I just wasnt sure if there was anything out there that would spoll up faster. Thanks again!

I am currently running an hx35 and im looking to find something that is around the same size and can make 500+ hp but spool a little faster, price isnt really an issue just looking for a good fast spooling turbo. let me know what you guys think. (I have the extream psi hotside on it)

i did turn it by hand 6 rotations before starting it, and yeah its running now i replaced the plugs and it started up but i have dsm link 2.5 so when i unpluged my batt. it deleted my tune which is why it was running like poop, but thanks guys!!!!!

ahahhaha sorry i keep asking questions but wouldnt that make it extreamly difficult to crank the engine over?

wouldnt I have smashed a valve if the timing was off?

idk what else it would be, i didnt mess with anything that has to do with the car starting and the spark plugs are covered in fuel when i take them out

:banghead:Okay So I went to start my car after replacing the timing belt and the car fired right up but I dont have the cold start thing on my TB so i have to feather the gas until it starts but my alternator belt was squeeking like crazy so i let the car shut off, now it is flooded and refuses...

wait which bracket?? the "heavy duty" one?

cool thanks man

Alrighty so I got the extream psi hotside for my hx35 and it made it longer so now my vband downpipe hits my alternator and I was just wondering if it would matter if i would just cut and re-weld it... I dont want to make it restrictive or anything and i know they make a relocation kit for the...

dont use grey! you will never get them out!

Conti DWS are the bomb

im running an aem and i enjoy its company in my car

you are going to want the fmic for sure

yeah you will be fine to run without a tune for now

blue = oil

you can for sure make 600 with the hx35, I mean dont get me wrong it would be easyer with the hx40 but you can get it with the hx35

with all that 300hp easy with a good tune maybe even 325

head gasket

good idea to get one but they are fairly cheap and not a big deal

the closer to stock the better when buying a car that your not experianced with

extream psi has stainless steel arp ones i think, and they are strong and look nice

get a gates belt, they are the bomb!

you should be fine, but like everyone else said, if you plan on doing more it would just make sense to get it done and out of the way to be safe

get a screw extractor kit, it comes with bits that are real small and wont make too much mess... I had a stud snap off and thats what i used and it worked great

ARP'S are for sure the way to go!

should be okay if you dont turn the boost up, but if you just wanna get it on there and dont wanna wait you will be okay

just get a gsx or gst especially if you are planning on just upgrading anyways

as long as you have head studs composit should work well for you, well it is for me

is the oil not always there? if its not it could be cracked because it will work its way out then when it sits will go back in through the crack

full synthetic oil

check the small bolt located in the front left area on the valve cover. most people have a line coming from this spot but may just stick a bolt in it when the line is removed and mine was leaking a small amount of oil which could explain the moisture and the smoke?

well make sure it runs and idles well, and be sure you test drive it before buying it and make sure it spools and holds boost well and there is no engine noise but these cars are (for the most part) easy to work on and if anything goes wrong the friendly people on here will have the answers for you

I run an open dump tube and 3 inch straight pipe with no cat but I have a muffler so it is semi quiet till I get on it then it screams

Thanks fellas.... yes it dose look like i will be needing a head gasket thanks guys

Hi, so im blowing white smoke but I did a compression test and im at 150-155 thruogh all 4 cylinders buttttt my coolent overflow looks a little brownish/rusty butttt I dont have any gunk in my oil or collecting on the oil cap... help me please...

awesome, Thanks guys!

where can I get a twin scroll t3 turbo housing for my holset hx35... i need one because I dont reach full boost till like 5 grand and from what im hearing these turbos can reach full boost in the 3000-3500 area and that would be just fantastic. thanks.

Alright yeah!! I need a head gasket, its leaking slightly but im also having some weird issues with my boost breaking up but yeah if you can help out im down (im not sure i talked to chad i talked to a tech I think)

I have had a gsx for quite a while but just now got a modified project gsx and I'm looking for a good shop to tune it and do some work to it for me seeing as I rent now and no longer have a place to do it, and not cbrd because I already tried there and they said they didnt wanna work on my car?

dang i forgot to put that up, its a walbro 2551ph fuel pump...

Alright! thanks a lot guys I'll check that stuff pronto!oh wait!! i forgot to say my knock light comes on when its breaking up too...

Sooooo I have a 1998 gst swapped to a gsx with a fully built 6 bolt motor with an hx35 holset turbo with 1200cc injectors, the problem is that when I get into boost it breaks up idk if its a fuel problem or what... I put in brand new spark plugs and plug wires and messed with the spacing on the...
