Sadly, I once again have to part out my car since life isn’t going how it should.95’ ECU w/ECMLink v3 with cable $625 shipped/pp fees SOLDBuilt 6Bolt short block bought from RixRacing
It is bored .040 over with .040 Wiseco pistons and Eagle H Beam rods $1500 this short block is ready for a...
Well time to break the bad news. I did the compression test and cylinder 2 was at 90. So, I did a wet test and it came up to 125. I meant to post this yesterday. I will be going to pick up a built short block tomorrow.
I appreciate the kind words Kryndon. I removed the catch can and my PCV line and breather line are back to stock. I wouldn’t tear into the turbo if it comes to it I’ll ship it to Justin and see if he sees anything. Honestly, I will only know more with a compression test which I did right after I...
Sorry haven’t updated in a few days. I got super discouraged by this whole ordeal after dumping so much money into the car. Also before reading below, I want to note that the car has not ran for almost 3 years. I did put it together at the end of 2017 and idled it a handful of time in which I...
Well, my catch can had a check valve pointed in the wrong direction and my PCV line had a check valve pointed in the wrong direction which ended up pushing air into the crank case and letting 0 pressure out....I was dumb very very dumb and excited and just threw the lines on without checking...
So, I had an issue with the PCV routing the first time I started the car and had entirely too much crank case pressure. It ran 20 seconds according to ecmlink. At this point I’m starting to think that 20 seconds was long enough to screw the seal on the turbine side. And I completely agree that...
I know where the oil is coming from. I never said I didn’t know where the oil is coming from. And 1990TSI you are correct about there being a crush washer on the fitting that goes into the turbo. I had been awake like 30 hours. My issue is there is oil being pushed past the turbine side seal...
It is 4an feed line from OFH so no crush washers. It was just rebuilt and literally has 3-4min of idle time on it. What I haven’t checked and feel dumb for now is oil pressure. So, I will be going to auto parts store for a gauge and install kit tomorrow.
Alright I am calling all gurus for this. I have talked with JusMX already and we both aren’t sure what’s going on. My old school green is slowly leaking during idle(see attached picture). I fixed my PCV system back to stock. I pulled the drain line and there aren’t any kinks or blockages in the...
New Update! Wish I would have taken more picture. To start, I pulled the transmission because the last time I had the car running I was having disengagement issues. So, I replaced the beat up Fidanza flywheel with an OEM 6-bolt flywheel after having it resurfaced and the step height checked and...
Sounds super vague honestly. My opinion is that turbo seals are shot as you shouldn’t have “manageable” oil passing out of the turbo. I would ask him to do a compression test as well as a list of what mods that are on it. Sounds like fuel parts were upgraded without using any tuning software...
It has been a long while since I have updated this build. Honestly, the car sat in my garage in florida for a year and a half, went through a hurricane, something fell on it during the hurricane and put a dent by the gas door, and then it sat outside at a family members house since mine was...
Okay got the car warmed up and got the ISC to 29 and the IdleAdjust to 145. Now I am watching these videos over and over to try and figure out how to get my A/F Ratio to 14.7 at idle. Other then that what else do y'all see that I need to do?
I do have Delta 272's in it. I will adjust the isc tonight and also I will make sure to get it to operating temp. For the "disable airflow smoothing w/sd operation" it doesn't show that it is checked on my laptop. That kinda worries me that it shows on your side but not mine like it is checked...
Hopefully I did this correctly. Here is my first log and I have no idea what I am doing besides watching ecmlink videos. Also watched all of Scott Laird's videos on youtube. Still not really getting any of this from watching videos but I do learn well if I have something to read over and over...
I was in your shoes just last week so I can actually help some! Go to my post http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/6-bolt-swapped-wiring-and-connectors.510408/#post-153636187
There is a link to a whole list of connectors in my post.
Man I love this community! I got it resolved the solenoid was bad I tried grounding the thing anywhere and everywhere finally gave up and took it to O'reillys and sure enough the solenoid was bad. I got so lucky though that they actually had one in stock. Thank you to everyone y'all were a huge...
Okay tried banging on it did nothing. The starter looks fairly new, but I have no idea whether it's reman or not. Thank you for the encouragement this is literally the only thing stopping the car from running to go get the exhaust welded and dial in the tune for this hx40.
I'll go try that and to answer your question I did just put it back together over the last week so you never know. I did jump the starter with a screw driver and it worked as it should but I turn the key to start and nothing happens so I am going crazy.
Okay so I read through, and tested everything that I feel pertains to my situation from http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-diagnose-a-no-start.217951/ . My starter, starter relay, and everrything is getting power to it. When I turn the key the fuel pump turns on the relay clicks, but the...
Been a bit since I updated this as I have been working 12 hour shifts. I took this next week off to get the car running, but on the past two weekends I have pretty much got everything back together. I didn't get any pictures except for the ones that I snapped for help figuring out the wiring. I...
Okay sweet bolted it to the transmission with the top starter bolt. It actually was bent to almost right on the bolt so I feel a little retarded. Thank you for the help!
For some reason I never got notification that I had replies. Anyways I have figured everything except for the ground out.
This is the ground that I can't seem to figure out. Any help is appreciated!
Hello,
So, I have ran into an issue that I have no idea what to do. I have my HX40 installed and now I cant put my downpipe on because it hits my dip stick tube. I have tried bending it a little, but that didn't work at all. I am at a loss, and would see if anyone has had this issue, or...
Okay getting them now. I will edit this post with the pictures. Ugh waiting on phone to charge some so I can upload to cloud drive then post them up.Other than these connectors the only other thing I don't know about it the ground that is about 6' inches from the starter on the starters...
Awesome thank you ! This helped tremendously, but I still have some that are on that list that there is no where to plug them up. Are there some connectors that are not used in a 6-Bolt swap?
Hello Everyone,
So, I have my car mostly back together after replacing the clutch, and the turbo. I have ran into the issue that I didn't label where the connectors go, and it is a Full 6-Bolt in a 2g. I have a FSM for my 95' Talon and I have the one for a 92' Talon. I am very savvy...
Okay my update for tonight doesn't have but one picture as I was working hard to get as much as I could done. Anyways the oil pan was dry and I was at the point where I could handle it so I got it installed. Then, I got the transfer case installed along with the drive shaft . After those were...
Well it ran when I bought it and drove it 150miles back to my house and for a week then found the turbo was garbage so while the car was down I got in a bind and had to sell something which turned out to be my ECU.either way I will verify the way the previous owner did it whether it is invert...
Yes I am running a 1g cas. Okay so invert cas is now on my list to do. This is the kinda items I was asking about not actually selecting what block is in there but any special parameters for having a 6 Bolt swapped.
Okay so I have searched high and low for what all I need to select in ECMLink for having a 6Bolt swap. Like are there certain things that need to be selected for the car to run with a 6-Bolt? I have read both RRE and Magnus 6 Bolt in a 7 Bolts webpages. I just want to know if there is anything...
The reason paint chips and flakes off all has to do with prep work. If you properly prep the block and make sure there is absolutely zero dirt, oil, grease, and fuel. Then scuff with scotch brite pad then prime it wait the proper amount of time for primer to cure then scuff with 600 grit sand...
Okay have a small update for tonight. I got my M12-1.25 Tap in got all the flywheel bolt holes tapped, and installed new OEM 6-bolt flywheel bolts. Snapped a picture of the stripped bolt and I figured out why the bolt stripped. The previous owner used 7 Bolt(20mm) flywheel bolts instead of 6...
An update on the car. Almost two months later, and my car still isn't running. Mainly because of lack of time as I am in the Air Force, and went TDY for a bit. Anyways, after I got back had to spend time with the wife the first weekend so this past weekend I actually got to get out in the...
Thank you for the replies! These are the answers I was looking for, because I definitely want to stay away from HID's at all cost unless I had to use them. So for using the Ultras or ZXE's do you just get one bright set or do you buy a high beam bulb and a low beam bulb. Also, what is a good...
Okay so I see a lot of questions on how to retrofit or convert over to projectors or HID, but that isn't what I want to do. I want to keep my oem headlight exactly how it is but I can barely see with the lights that are in it. Is there any specific bulbs that can help with this, or do i HAVE to...
I know this is now resolved, but just saying this could have went smoother if:1. You had a vehicle profile (Since username is misleading)
2. You would have posted a picture after the first person asked.Although, I am glad you got it figured out use this for future reference. If this comes...
Hello Everyone,
So my issue is pretty depressing, because while I was torquing down my flywheel bolts one of the bolts stripped itself and the crankshaft. I know how to tap it for new threads and helicoil it, but I have no idea what the thread pitch/ bolt size is to tap it for...
With your new pistons comes new rings. So, you have to check ring gaps, and file the rings for correct ring gap. Also, you need to inspect your cylinders plus bore gauge them to see if they have wear/ a lip at the top. You want to make sure you do it correctly now so that you don't have to pull...
