I have a very lightly used Fidanza flywheel. I bought an ACT race clutch and pressure plate and it was not compatible with the Fidanza flywheel so I had to get an ACT flywheel. Will send more pictures to anyone thats interested. There is free shipping in the United States on this order. If...
IIf you put that gear on backwards you will have to tap the 3 holes and use bolts on your puller to get it out. Ask me how I know lol. Do it right the first time. FYI get a haynes manual.
Just be careful with aftermarket cam gears the marks are not the timing marks. Aka fidanza cam gears. I would go to CI Motorsports for modifications type in 420a on there website search engine to fine modifications.
I have a brand new Clutch Masters Stage 3 Clutch and pressure plate. It is rated for 450-500 hp. I bought it years ago and they sent me a 4g63 clutch and I have a 420a. They would not take the return because of the sale being done in 2011
So I bought a Clutchmasters Stage 3 Clutch back from Pan auto in 2011. I own a 420a and they sent me a clutch and pressure plate new for a 4g63. I did not know it until I started the car build in 2020. I tried to send it back and they would not take a return because of how long it has been. This...
Check transmission fluid put it up on a stand and let it run for awhile in gear. If it still isnt moving check your shift linkage thats a major problem that comes up alot. If its super dirty transmission fluid change the transmission fluid and filter because if its clogged it will not allow an...
You know honestly I definitely recommend anyone with a 420a to check out 2gnt and neon/SRT 4 forums for sure these guys have got these engines to run 7 second quarter mile times.
Its just odd though because when I bought this thing back in 2010 the guy had the stock sending unit. Which I did buy this car in pieces but it shows you dont take things for granted I guess still weird though.
This post was solved found out by autometer you have to use there sending unit. Which makes me wonder why the guy I purchased this car from still was using the oem temp sending unit. Car is fixed.
As soon as I start the car the aftermarket autometer gauge will start showing temperature readings that are anywhere from 50 to 70 degrees hotter than what the car is actually at. I used my temperature laser gun to check the whole car and the gauge will be anywhere from 50 to 70 degrees hotter...
No reason to do all of that to keep it stock or a knock off copy cat Chinese brand. Get your parts from the company CI Motorsports and search for 420a parts on there search engine.
I have noticed a lot of different after market companies even are not compatible. Example my Fidanza flywheel did not work with my act clutch and pressure plate. Do you have the stock pressure plate?
It depends on the color of the smoke. If its the turbo the seals could be leaking oil or its not forcing enough air pressure and your engines running rich. Check the Shaft play on the turbo and check the housing side of the piping going from your turbo to the intercooler to see if there is any oil.
No, a ton of white smoke is an indication of water particles from steam aka blown headgasket where the antifreeze is getting into your cylinders. A Turbo seal leak it goes more of a darker smoke from the oil. You will know by taking off the turbo piping from your housing part of the turbo(the...
If your turbo is on its way out there is going to be a hella lot of turbo shaft play. If theres a leak on the turbo seal and it allows oil into the housing which leads into your engine there will be black smoke. Honestly check these things and message back.
Check your connections to your Camshaft positioning sensor and Crankshaft Positioning sensor. I bet you have some loose connections, broken and or corroded wires. Also it is a 1999 so hook up an OBD 2 scanner and see what codes are going off. Let me know what it was plus these kinds of posts are...
Had that problem with my car man. Check your wiring man. Make sure nothing is grounding out on a positive wire or it will throw codes. Look for corrosion on the wires.
Definitely change the basics like the spark plugs, plug wires, oil, fuel filter, air filter and oil filter. Another thing I would do is after you drain it flush the engine with 2 quarts of cheap oil. I would clean the brake pads and rotors with brake cleaner.
Your best bet is to clean your lines with a degreaser and have someone else start the car to pinpoint where it is leaking. From what your saying you make it seem like its also leaking from the reservoir? If thats the case check your cap out.
If your spark plugs havent been changed in a while I would start there. Another thing to look at is your fuel filter. Check your throttle body out man make sure your cable is good. If its still not running right hook an obd 2 scanner to it to make sure your camshaft positioning sensor isnt...
I finally got the drive axles and hubs out of the car. I had to take the steering knuckles off and put it on a vice and use an aceteline torch and a sludge hammer with a aluminum punch to get them out. After work well done the kit I had of performance driveshafts had wheel bearings that had the...
I hooked up with this women online. She was 31 years old and she stayed at my house for about a week. Not very knowledgeable of cars. She was talking and texting this guy. When she fell asleep I took her phone and the guy was sending her pictures of himself saying that he loved her and stuff. I...
I was thinking the same thing. Brother I wouldnt be to worried about upgrading the injecters unless you plan on boosting the car. If I were you man to save you the drama from the other members on this forum I would buy These two books Engine Management Advanced Tuning by Greg Banish and...
Yeah, I really hope they dont go through with the assault rifle ban. I think it is the biggest bs ever brought up. There was a crap times the murders back in the early 1990s than today. No reason for a ban on an assault rifle when the guy the guy that did the college shooting a couple of years...
Okay, first off they say its a full set. On the 420A package they dont include all of them and if you guys want some part numbers I will post them up. Also on the 420a package they dont have the parts listed.
I was out sand blasting in my garage and my engine was in my house. I walked through the doorway no sand was coming off of me. Somehow sand made its way into the valve train area of my engine. Not very much of it you couldnt even notice it from a couple of feet away you have to be within a foot...
I figured out where they went but I did end up with a lot of extras that confused me. Without 2gnt,dsm tuners and haynes manual it would of been a pain though.
I have seen this on a third of the newer corvettes people have been doing that. I guess he is running a pipe on every header out the back. With that much exhaust flow out the back that car probably has lost a crap ton of hp and torque.
Even though this is more of a debate it still is something useful for the community. I have purchased the Fel-pro engine(Upper and lower) gasket kit. They did not include all of the gaskets needed and it really is a pain and a time consumption to find them. First off, they do not label any of...
Sounds dumb as can be but I painted my valve cover chrome then decided to use engine temp clear coat and the color lost its chrome and became a gray. I put the clear coat a day after I painted my valve cover. Do you have to let it cure for a week to have that mirror glisten? Do you have to heat...
