Every time I attempt to log with evoscan it says it does not have the drivers installed. I have v2.9 and the latest version of ecuflash downloaded as well. If i open up the evoscan folder, it has the op2.0 and 1.3 files saved in the usb drivers folder. Can anyone explain why it still says I do...

I believe you are talking about the throttle position sensor. If so you need new throttle body shaft seals. Preferably the metal clad mil-spec seals.Your other leak no one can pinpoint without more info, but I would venture a guess that it is injector seals or pcv leaking. Although there are...

Do people literally just do things and never consider what it's causing? Oh this here things leaking, i'll pull it off, dump a tube of silicone all over it, and slap it back together. That big hole in the center with a hose attached obviously doesn't do anything but leak. :aha:

Thats not totally true. You should grease caliper bolts, seat the piston/s back into the caliper and make sure they aren't seized up, make sure the pads aren't binding in the brackets, and possibly put grease/antiseize on back of pads to avoid squeaking depending on the pads you run. Also it's...

As far as logging with a 2g, you are limited to either running a tactrix cable and logging with evoscan and later get a flashable ecu for tuning or link as far as I am aware. It seems the cheaper options have lost all support and development. Personally, I am logging with a tactrix 2.0 and plan...

The turbo would work great, and appears to be a good deal. I cannot view the ebay ad currently, but Ive known one person who bought an ebay install kit and all was well except the rear braided water line could not phyiscally fit between the block and turbo because the 90 degree fitting protruded...

Why would you recommend 550's without tuning? Unless you want a pig rich dog, stick with stock injectors, if not tuning, and keep boost below 15.IMO for the price of a wb, you might as well log knock and injector duty cycles. If you log and slowly turn boost up, it is a whole lot safer than...

most everyone is going to say a 16g and run it at wastegate pressure or a max of 14. If you were to at least log, you could possibly push it alittle further.and realistically, 300hp is not going to happen, safely, with stock injectors and no tuning.

Yes fp turbos are "nice", but that description alone certainly does nothing to help the op choose which one is best for him. Just sayin.Sorry for the rant. :toobad:

The most i have seen on my own car without fuel cut is 17-18psi with my 16g. But thats because I trusted someone knowing what it ment to turn the boost controller up a quarter turn. I have the tools to log and tend to be more conservative now that I can see how reckless a few of my choices were...

WTF seriously? and never hit fuel cut? Were you logging duty cycle? It had to be well over 100%.I personally know a member here on the forum with a 2g, walbro pump, and 6an feed line, he was maxing his stock injectors at 23 psi with a 14b thats got a mangled turbine. This was after...

So it seems mut monitor is no more. Well at least all download links I have found do not work.Has anyone messed with logging onto the sd card and viewing with the beta ecuflash? I got a deal on a op 2.0 and I am using it to log a 96 noneprom til I swap in a flashable in a couple weeks. I will...

2qts is not enough. Are you checking it in park or neutral? Im betting park.

explain the rope and a tree please? Last time I checked we did not "hang" things anymore ROFLI really cant believe that was what you ment. :aha: I thought you had some super secret rope method I could laugh at, but either way.

See now knowing your plans, i am willing to offer positive input.First, plan on eventually making the rear of your cage safe, but i would recommend tieing your cage into the front portion of the unibody. A mid plate could be attached to both the unibody and cage so it would handle the weight...

By all means, im all for swaps and determination, but care to share your logic and reasoning?Lets say your cage gets certified, your car is safe, and you even get it together for 5k, now whats your goals? Run 10s? Hope your planning another over 5k in engine mods then. Looks like a bbf to me...

trans, transfer case, driveshaft most likely, rear diff, tcu or shift box/kiggly mod, etc.Would be by far best to start with a auto awd parts car if that is your choice. I love my auto awd, no hate here. I had planned to 5 speed swap and needing EVERYTHING turned me off. Slowly I grew to...

Avoid graveyard like the plague. Id rather pay 30% more for any part just to put them out of business than repeat my cv shaft disaster. If they can f*ck up a cv shaft boot then I dont want to know how there reconditioned rods turn out. Big end is probably about as round as a stick of butter.

I do agree with you, I research til i know every inch of what im working on and how i am going to do it before ever touching anything. But some do learn best for themselves. I have no problem promising you that with that shotty workmanship and blatant lack of experience you are bound to go well...

All bashing here aside, I cannot comprehend (and i have some crazy ideas) why you would put a stock all iron boat anchor hanging off the nose that's only going to be making 16g power levels. Sure it'll make the power with less rpm and more torque but seems pointless unless you just wish to do...

I have never seen a reason to tighten the filter down with a filter wrench. I have had to pound screw drivers through enough oil filters (to get them off) i put on by hand, that I wouldn't even consider using a wrench to tighten it. That being said, if your concerned about it vibrating loose, a...

Yes it sounds like it needs some meth pulLed back, preferably only in first. That being said, if your at 35psi, I wouldn't feel safe at a 11.6 afr, but your the one responsible there.Before pulling any meth, I would certainly richen it up.Personally, I hate saying (blank) is your problem, as...

Well then at that point my only assumption left is that your heavy on the water meth. Got a slightly smaller jet or is it a fixed nozzle? Only reasonable suggestion left, based upon given info, is pull some meth and compensate with some fuel or at least a slightly richer meth to water mix.

I have not seen your logs so I could only guess based upon how it sounds, but knowing where your afr's are now, I would try pulling some water/meth and adding some fuel to compensate.Also if your wot on the rev limiter, try backing off some. It is your only hope for traction. Sitting on the...

This is not ment to be smartass or anything like that, I simply don't know you or your level of knowledge.That being said what are more details of when this happens, are you wot? Have you tried reducing the amount of water/meth a small amount? Tried different proportions of water to meth? It...

I agree with justin, theres no way a fluid (especially one as thick as 10/30) is going to leak through a gasketed barrier unless high pressure exhausts gases are as well. Now if the manifold has an exhaust leak there then its 100% possible its valve seals.Also your valve cover does not appear...

If it is indeed boost creep, a 14b actuator will make little or no difference.It could very well be tuned for it but personally I would not be comfortable with it til I could safely control boost. Not to mention he verified it is the oem eprom so doubtful its tuned anyway. And its not...

It seems as though most people are going around your boost creep issue and just asking if its tuned for it. Personally I don't give a damn if its tuned, I'd fix my creep issue so its controllable before moving on.Verify your wastegate hose is tight, and no holes/cracks (a leak would certainly...

On 91, at that elevation, those numbers appear promising. Id like to see some numbers closer to sea level. Would be nice to see what getting rid of that bottleneck, along with some turbine porting would do. Im betting that td05 wheel and 7cm housing are next limiting factors.

The 8.8 he was refering to is the irs center out of a v8 thunderturd.

Agreed. Unless there is metal or clutch material in the pan, I wouldn't pull the valvebody. Chances are unless there is obvious damage or material in the pan, its going to be tough finding a valve body issue that is apparent to the eye. Start with fluid and filter along with a good search using...

If its not fluid or filter, it is internal failure. Period. Then its time to drop pan, look for parts or materials, appears good, then its valvebody, clutchs, or front pump. Best bet would be a full rebuild.My recommendations are stop asking what it could be, get a filter and fluid, and drop...

I tend to blame an internal failure, burnt clutchs, etc. I'll bet it got way hotter than you wanted hot lapping it that many times. I run a trans temp gauge and trick shift on a stock cooler and on a warm day I wouldn't hot lap it more than 2-3 times, maybe 4 if i felt lucky or had lost the...

This is exactly why i try things for myself. I like winning races for half the cost of the next guy. Summer 2014 im planning to push my 7 bolt 16g setup as far as it will go and a "stock" appearing manifold is in the plans. My tube manifold is more "bling" than i care to have under hood...

Those pics are the first i've seen of a true mhi evo3 turbine housing. I cannot believe how much larger and more tapered the ebay turbine housings are. Also the wg port on the ebay housing looks far surperior, both larger and better shaped out of the box. The rest of an ebay 16g may be garbage...

I can't see why people are questioning going to a 9" over the 8.8. I have yet to see a single 9" failure (offroad, drag, or derby's), where i have seen an 8.8 fail with under 300hp and 33" tires bound up in rocks. Plus being a c-clip axle, 8.8 failures typically aren't very fun. I would never...

Agreed, graveyard has fixed nothing. I pmd and called about a rear cv shaft i purchased in may that came with a totally incorrect outer boot. The shaft could not be installed without removing the sway bar unless i wanted to puncture the boot with the end link. Well needless to say i have never...

Now you need to know why. Lines plugged, wga is bad, or lines leaking.

I certainly wouldn't test it with 90 psi.

A 14b shouldn't be boost creeping that high IMO. Make sure the hose going to the wastegate actuator isn't plugged, cracked, loose, etc. Remove the wastegate actuator rod from the flapper and make sure it moves freely. If all is good, test the wastegate actuator with an air compressor as already...

That's exactly how I did mine. Cut the bracket off the original cable going to the tb. Figure Out where you need the bracket on the cable coming from the pedal. Clamp the bracket on and it's worked perfectly!

I was using an impact on a 25 ton puller with no luck. Finally mushroomed the axle using the same puller with a breaker bar on it.

I dd my car on occasion and I've done about as much weight reduction (without carbon fiber, fiberglass, lexan, etc) as anybody. I love mine that way. :thumb: Wouldnt have it any other way now.I agree, you should find the one you want first, then do all maintenance and get to know your car...

I tried many penetrating lubes, mapp gas and acetylene torch, bfh, and finally ruined the end of the axle with a 25 ton puller by mushrooming the end all to hell.There's a few how-to's in the tech section about this, you can try those or you may want to try the nearest shop. Just have them...

Agreed! ^Next year will be the first trip down the track for my auto 2g. Not expecting anything special from my simple 16g setup, but gotta start some where!I'm shooting for new years event at Byron. Should be a good one. :thumb:

A 4bt might fit but would be pointless. There's no chance in hell your fitting a 5.9 in that miata. ROFL Those things are like 3.5 feet tall from oil pan to valve covers, not mention weighs like 900+lbs and that torque would twist a miata into a damn twizzler without a serious cage.If you...

Pretty sure he ment make the bellhousing side of the block face the rear, not put the 4g in the trunk. ROFL A t56 hanging off the back of a 4g would be longer than a miata is wide.And with that thought, I want a 4g63 in the back end of a fiero! That'd be badass!

Vacuum leaks will lower your vacuum reading because there is less "suction" (actually it's vacuum ROFL ) being created after the tb. It's working less hard to draw the air in if there's a vacuum leak.As long as your gauge is hooked up correctly, then yes it's seeing 15psi at the valve. Could...

For what it's worth I bought my 2g 1.5 years ago and it had the eBay manifold when I bought it. I've had 0 cracking/welds breaking issues. Only major flaw was when I removed it to port the turbo, I got to see how horribly it matched the gasket. Well some quality time with a grinder and rewelding...

There's 2 contradictory statements constantly being thrown around in this thread.One yes the all aluminum ls series is similar in weight to our iron block 4g63, but the iron block truck motors are MUCH heavier.Two you are not getting an aluminum ls for under $1000. That's total bs. You...
