Okay i had posted about getting no oil pressure and now i got it to get pressure by priming it threw the oil pressure sender hole. oiled it all the way to the top of block and now iot gains pressure.My question is now it wont start. it started before and i ran it for 10 seconds trying to get...
I just rebuilt my engine and i am not getting any oil pressure before start-up. i have cranked the engine over many times and the light wont go off.I then installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and it reads a pinch above zero( maybe its just the gauge coming on). I dont see oil getting...
im prepping my block to be rebuilt again and last time i didnt do anything special in the way of honing or decking the block. now this time around my pistons leak oil and now there is also brass metal flakes everywhere. Now i have a few questions, first asking if i need to remove the freeze...
ive come across a thing saying i needed special bearings for a eagle crankshaft. is this true or could i use acl or king? they say i need eagle clevite bearings. hope this isn't true lol cause they are pricey bearings.
i have had excessive blow-by now for sometime. i took off the head and my cylinder walls still look polished from 300 miles ago during the last rebuild. Can my rings be improperly installed causing the blow-by but not damage the cylinder walls? I had oil coming out of my exhaust and when pulled...
I have a palm m100 and obd palm logger os disk that was already used with a 1g. Now i have no idea where to go from here. Do i find a cable to use or make my own? Also how do i go about using a palm pilot as a logger? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Today i wasnt catching any boost. So i checked my hardware and had some loose bolts. Tighten them up and went to hit the gas to see if it was boosting again and started boosting normally. I hit some torque steer and let off the gas after that.So i was cruising at maybe 35 and i pass a truck...
I have a bunch of extra fwd parts laying around and i am getting a awd shell that missing a windshield, front bumper, headlight pods, hood, and possibly some more missing is the front. Other than that its good. I was wondering how these parts fitted together and maybe someone has some examples...
My valve cover seems to be leaking from right above the exhaust manifold. I started it in maybe 10 degree weather. oil pressure was up over 60 at start and lowered to 40 within a minute or 2. I think i have excessive oil pressure causing this leak. I have installed a oil catch can to help take...
I am using a power steering res for a oil catch can. I have read the entire aticle on 4g63t pcv system and understand how to use 2 catch cans. I am asking here since my oil dipstick pops out if i could just use the major pressure relief way and go pcv and valve breather to can then can to intake...
After a little searching all the threads are a little unclear. Does the 90 oil filter housing have a port for the oil feed line? I'm looking at a oil feed kit and it feeds from the housing and provides a 90 degree fitting to housing and -4 an. It doesnt tell me about what size the housing is it...
I have the turbo 4g63 and just finished the rebuild and i started the car up and got it to run. Now it runs good and all after i uped the fuel pressure a little and messed with the c.a.s.. But i have a problem where it wants to die. I can save it by getting to the throttle quick enough but if...
I have been fighting with my car trying to get her started after the rebuild. After checking ecu, battery, cas and so on i have come up with this: My starter isnt giving my car enough to start. That said it struggles to start the car and after installing a spare it does the same thing.I...
I've searched and i have a list of to check things. I had my car running nicely until it blew up. So i rebuilt it and added a few simple mods and mainly a coil on plug set wired for a 2g. so i wired it for my 90 laser after searching for a while to find out how.Now i have it all...
I had this problem and people said bearings but after i rebuilt my engine i noticed my pistons have 4 intake relief dents. Could my timing have been off causing the loud ticking?thanks
My car just recently got running from sitting for 5 years. I have done all maint. and added some performance parts. I have been having a idle problem where my car dies when pushing the clutch in to stop. It would always start back up and i would be on my way.Last night my ride was good...
My fans work because they turn on with the ac but they don't turn on when driving and i just got so hot it melted my hose(silicone hose not for liquid but all i had) that goes to the coolant res. Now is it the sensor in the radiator itself that is bad? It did come out of a radiator that sat for...
I just got it back together after replacing the head and adding some performance parts. after the first start it ran for a while and it started to heat up real quick.This wouldn't be a problem but it goes past the last white notch and heads for the h for hot. I don't think it should be...
First off i got a new dna racing alum radiator with efans and they only have 2 wires per fan as my hookup on my laser has 4 per fan. how do i got about this?2nd is with all the mods i will be running( you can see them on my profile) what boost can i run at?Thanks
when installing my PR piping kit for my 1g it make the bov sit sideways towards the battery. Is this correct? and it make it so the bov wont fit because the throttle cable box is in the way. What do i do? Reroute the cables or what options do i have.Also changing the pipe around then makes...

i just bought a 6 bolt head form a member here and he said it was good to bolt and go. i just got it in the mail and it looks like only 2 cylinders are closing all the way. the other valves i can see light threw when looking in them from the intake side. Did i get ripped off and received a bad...
When refering to a set of steering knuckles does that include the lug part thats is like a bearing inside the knuckles? Or is it just the knuckles itself.
When the ac is turned on to turn on the cooling fans the car bogs down and acts funny. Also a clicking noise can be heard behind the drivers seat. Any ideas?Thanks

Can i reuse my block if the pistons have slight dents from the valves? I had zero compression so i pulled the head and everyone of my intake valves were bent. The rest looks good but just a slight dent from the valves, all 8 of the intake ones. Thanks for your help.
The rockers, one or 2 of them slightly wiggle or seem loose. If that means those valves are bent or something could i use exhaust valves for the intake side? I have 8 exhaust valves sitting around and only maybe 2 intake valves laying around, so i was thinking if the intake ones were not in good...
I tested my car since it wont start and it read all zero's. I did the test according to the back of the tester box. I think besides this my timing may be off maybe a half cm from the IT on the balancer. Could this cause no compression like i am seeing? Maybe a blown head gasket.I can smell...
On my new apfr gauge the adjuster got stuck. I got it to read pulses at 38-40 when cranking then about 42 afterwards. After it hits 42 its drops back down to near 0. My car won't start atm but is this okay pressure? I have a 5 speed and i know its 38 you want but will i be ok running a few higher?
Cranks but won't quite get there. Has a new ecu. Has an old gas tank that had no gas in it so i put about a gallon of 91 in it. i can see smoke come out of the muffler when cranking. My boost raises to around 4 when cranking. I can smell old gas smell when i crank it(face next to the motor). All...
I am honestly thinking it fuel but is there anything to check up before it will start. I cranked for a little bit and then i noticed i was on empty. So i figure some high octane fuel should help her fire up. what do you guys think? I also was going to fire it with the old oil and then change it...
I looked a bit but i have work soon so i figured I'd ask just right quick. I have no wing on my 1g and wondered if it would't be to ricer if i used a 2g wing to throw on her. Thanks
On my ebay afpr i have 2 fuel lines and a vac line. When i have the afpr turned to where the numbers on the guage is right side up. I have a fuel line on top and one in the back. Now i dont have any markings and don't know if i can just use them universally and just out the fuel lines on any...
There coolant sitting in the turbine housing and i don't think this is very good, its also all brown and dirty. my other turbo looks brand new compared t this one. is that mean its bad?
I'm building my first dsm and am under the budget of 500 dollars at the moment. i bought 2 90 lasers for 100 bucks, a k&n drop in filter for the 1g maf(removed silencer and hacked the aircan all the way), ported the stock Tb, clean everything including the radiator and the intercoolers and all...
Both my cars manifolds have cracks, actually more than one crack a piece. im not sure if they leak or not but would a tubular manifold off ebay suit my needs? I have the stock TD05 and i can get a tubular one for around 110 so i figured id ask. Thanks
I have blocked it off on my 2.0 turbo 4g63 engine and ditched that valve and the 4 vac hoses on the throttle body. that made it so i had no vac hoses any more on that side of the engine so i followed them and they go to this cluster that doesn't go to anything up near the driver side. Do i...
do i have to change over to 2g mas to slap on a cold air cone filter? mine only looks like u can use the stock mas with the stock air box. thanks for any help
what is the general difficulty of doing a engine swap, compared to changing and swapping heads? whats mainly involved in swapping the engine? just unbolt it from the bell housing and from everything that stays in the car and lift it out and drop in the new engine? bolt it up and connect...
i bought 2 1990 turbo rs lasers and one has a bad tranny and the other has a motor that blown the timing belt and i assume bent all the valves since the cams wont move in either direction. now what i am asking is should i just swap heads and do the timing belt over or should i just swap in the...
