I put in my EPROM/v3 ECU (has a blown chip for the ISC) started up and idled fine then it dropped 2 cylinders. I went to misc and its #2 and #3. I know the coilpack works like 2 alternating sides. Is 2 and 3 controlled by the same one on the coilpack? I'm going to google it up right now but...
Zombie post!!!Ok, my car is doing the exact same thing. Was it ever figured out?
I've swapped injectors and it went from #2 being the bad cylinder to #3. (Conpletely different set of injectors, not just moved around).
Ahh forgot to update this. I'm on a few FB groups including this forums lol I tried with the translator on stock settings, no go. Got ECMs MAF cable, no go. Followed a bunch of other suggestions, nothing. Checked the ECU, and it was burnt. Swapped it for my non EPROM and put the 450s and...
Well I still can't get the car to start. Replaced the translator with the ECMTuning MAF cable. Still not starting. I'm really reaching the end of my patience here. My wife past that point long ago lol I have no clue what's wrong with this thing.
EVO 560s. Which is supposed to be like -19.2 but my afr sat at 7.4, I tried putting my stock 450s back in and it doesn't change anything. I'm running a 3" GM MAF-T set up. I'd try going back to stock but I don't have my upper piping anymore and my old stuff won't fit anymore. Only other thing I...
Ok so my 91 Gsx won't start. Running rich. Just had the head off and machined, have a Cometic MLS HG and ARP studs in now. The reason I removed the head was because of a misfire. I had checked everything I could think of and nothing helped. It was flooding and missing in the #2 cylinder...
i plan on doing another Cruise log as mine was too large to upload, just trying to look for advice, if i did any of this wrong im sorry. my profile is up to date, no previous engine issues or leaks.I added my Evo 8 560cc injectors the day i installed Link with included ECU from the...
Haven't posted here in awhile, let's see... I've put on Ksport coilovers, comp 259/258 cams, Dejon UICP with type S BOV and 3" GM MAF w/ translator, intake pipe with K&N cone, fuel pump re-wire, and just put in evo 8 560cc injectors and set the idle and now it puts like a kitten, and roars like...
Fill the car with coolant, park on a clean surface, let it warm all the way up and start to overheat a little. Look for drops for leaks obviously, check your oil for milkyness (HG) and also smell the exhaust at a safe distance of course lol and of you're using 50/50 coolant and you smell...
Today I installed my home made MBC and on the first test drive I was hitting 17psi and falling to 16psi and holding. Super smooth the whole time. Gotta love dumb luck eh?
Ok so I was out of town for a week and forgot to update this.
I fixed the seals and got it together and drive it for over 250+ miles without an issue other than it running a little cold. Awesome! Or so I thought...
The DSM Fairy hit me in the face last night when I went to the store, as I left...
I tried searching and all I found was aftermarket gauges and people having issues with their gauges...
My question is, on a 1g, about what temp is the engine at certain points on the stock TEMP gauge. After doing my timing belt and water pump with a 50/50 flush, I used to read straight up but...
Yea or so I thought lol the water pump is leaking now but not at the gasket, its at the rubber seal on the outer pipe part (discharge?) any easy way to get to it? Or am I taking it apart again? My DSM hasn't even taken me to dinner yet. No class lol
Yea it was the engine. Jack it up a little and it was out. Now the new pump is in. The balancer belt is in and I have the new hydraulic tensioner. But of course none of my pictures are good enough to figure out what it bolted to lol googles not very clear either. Let the picture hunt begin! Lol...
so I got a better look, it was the water pump. I had the local parts place order me a new pump and a timing belt/pulley kit.
took everything apart, belt still looked new as did the pulleys (from previous owner) gonna change them anyway and keep the old ones for emergency back ups, they look...
I haven't had time to check it out as I noticed as I parked at work.
There was a rainbow sheen coming from the car, fast drips from behind the Tbelt next to the altinator. Looks like brownish water. Definitely not oil. Sheens gotta be from the engine being greesey.
I plan on searching...
I haven't been on awhile, but my 91 GSX is at the shop getting a Shepard Stage 1 trans, rebuilt front diff, along with a new Exedy clutch and ACT light weight flywheel. It's going to be light driving a completly different car! I'm excited.
So I replaced the Rad cap. Yeah, that simple lol over 200 miles and not a drop missing. No overheating or anything. The old one didnt look that bad but I guess it was. So now i can delete my fast idle valve and remove the egr system. PROGRESS! lol I'm just relieved it wasn't the HG. It just...
So I've tried a few things like fix the rad drain plug and seal the tstat in properly, seems to help for sure but still overheats. I really don't want it to be a blown HG :( Well I just did a compression test, warm engine, all plugs out, WOT, and 5 cranks for good messure. From passenger side to...
I was really doubting the HG, no smoke, runs strong with full coolant lol clean oil. It's gotta just be a leak, I'm at work so I can't do much at the moment but I'll get a better O-ring for the drain plug and also I was using a gasket on the Tstat housing, not exactly the best seal when the temp...
Ok, so after more observations, the fan seems to be kicking in at what I assume is 190*. Also there is a light drip coming from the rad drain plug so I'm sure under pressure when running, it loses a good amount which contributes to the random over heating. I'm going to replace the gasket but the...
Load from the A/C is a for sure, RPMs drop when its on and the car sounds like it's about to die when the RPMs drop after going to neutral. The aluminum rad looks big to me but I never compared to stock since I did not install it, but the 180* Tstat makes sense, the 160 was recommended to me by...
Ok, so my car overheated about a week and a half ago and popped the smaller hose on top. No big deal, low on coolant, my fault for not knowing the Rad symbol on the cluster lol (only owned the car a month or so). I replaced the hose and added coolant, ran fine for a week. I did a flush with...
It's the wheels that are important for looks IMHO. Anyone can bolt on a body kit they picked out online, it's choosing the wheel and tire set up to best complement your car and paintjob. Stance counts towards that as well.
Ok then, I guess I'll just build at the funds for the Link before any more non-maint work. Anything else go with the Link? or just buy the $545 package and plug and play?
I'll go to my local shop or another source I know, IF it takes too long to get a logger and I start adding parts like a crazy person lol but I plan on going with your standard ECM/DSMlink. I'm still trying to learn more about this stuff so when I do buy, I'll make a better choice.
^ lol I plan on gathering that stuff but not installing it untill I procure a Link/Logger anyway. I'm trying not to rush things. I've got a turbo back exhaust, with air/fuel WB and Boost guage. Next is injectors, find a better spring for my MBC, re-wire fuel pump with 255lph and AFPR then then...
ok... but what if I WANT to buy some 550cc injectors :) lol I'll be sure that the seal is new.. As for the Tbody shaft, I understand it's old and will keep and eye on it and inspect it better when I do the injectors. I would like to upgrade to the GM MAF + Translator soon enough so I would most...
I'm new to this and didn't think about the injectors, I just did another leak test and IT'S ALL FOUR OF MY INJECTORS!! So looks like I'm going to upgrade them sooner than expected haha 560cc EVO power!
Thanks jpmxrider489
Ok, so I did a boost leak test yesterday after work and will do another in about an hour or so, I have a good seal on my tester and I'm using shop air. My boost gauge will only reach 10psi during the test hold air for about 5 seconds. I can hear air escaping near the throttle body elbow area but...
I'm not seeing anything wrong with my wires or intake... Couldn't i just raise the boost to say, 15psi and even it out?
I'm not really understanding what im supposed to do with the ratios you guys are putting out. I don't have a logger or DSMlink or anything like that. Lets pretend im a...
right, quick tell tale, how many miles should i see out of a tank of 91? i got about 220 with spirited driving 91oct w/10%E and 240 with Ethynol Free 91. does that sound normal?
I'll check for leaks, and check the injectors, though i doubt they're aftermarket, previous owner has a set of 560cc that he was gonna put on his second engine to build then install so he left this engine fairly stock.also something i forgot to mention, though im not sure it matters, the...
my lights are the same way, previous owners work. he talked about removing the fog light relay since the toggle was bad anyway. not too sure how he did it but i enjoy it haha
i bought my dsm recently with a bad o2 sensor to the already installed Innovate A/F gauge, it just flashed "7.4". i replaced the sensor and was told it should idle at 14.7 and full boost should show 10/11. Well I idle at 10/14 and at half boost (5/6psi) its already flashing 7.4 and doesnt show...
+1 wideband. i also use Innovate, just try and make sure your boost gauge is about the same size.. as i did not lol my boost gauge is way bigger than my a/f gauge...
