i remember when i used to go out there on a good night id get 4 passes most of the time i only got 2. But i am up for hitting up the track. Ill hopefully be able to head out there to run my avenger just to see what its got

holy jesus 30 bucks to run 2 times now? That sucks. when i get my car back together we should roll out there gofer, i live like 10 min from you on val vista and ocotillo

damn heard lil things about it but wow didnt know it was that bad. that sucks. Hope its alot better. Gonna try to convince 2 dudes i know to run their their 97 eclipse rs turbo they built. It put down some pretty good power on the dyno last friday 440 and 430tq. Ill probably run for shits and...

How was IFO thinking about heading to the Tucson one to check it out. My car should be ready by then

Hmm if it would be a possibility i would so be in for that

i learned the hard way ran 10lbs on stock rods and pistons, and ended up cracking a ring land. Like stated before you can have everything set up right but, rods can only handle so much, and its only a matter of when you will bend a rod.

i wouldve said you just killed my dreams but i went to boostbutton.com and they do 95 ecu so there is a chance. YEAH! i contacted them to see what they can do for me.

him if i dont have to buy an ms this is the route id like to go. have to find out more info regardign boosted 420a

This was good reading. I have though about getting an ecu from kevin but screw it im getting my MS.

well cars up and running and ready to roll. went to the pavillions on saturday but there was only 1 other desm there. whens the next meet going?

If its that easy to egr delete ,I think ill try the resistor for egr. and block it off

Yeah he mentioned that when i talked to him last. Going boosted gives u more bang for your buck if done right. I recommend it to everyone.

Nice. so your deciding to come to the boosted side.

sorry to hear man hope it all gets better for u

sprayed my engine bay, and replaced piston rings.

last time i did emissions they ran me on the dyno and look under my hood

im hoping to be able to make it out soon

i have prothane mount right now. which i think would be ok. i use this car for a dd becasue the gas mileage in my truck suck. but for what i want, i need to do everything else that u mentioned. there are a few things i want to do for the suspension for traction. The equal length shafts i may...

well looks like im limited to power based on trans. ill look at those lsd's u mentioned and make my decision from there. as for grounds i can take a look into that thx for the info man appreciate the insight.

i have a spare diff for it pulled from my last trans that im currently trying to build as a posi for it. not stock stall i have a IPT 2500 stall for it. the trans also has shift kit and other goodies that i got from ipt so trans is not completely stock. where u gorund your wide band and ms?

its a 604 41TE. My buddy works at a dodge dealer and does lots of trans work on the side so he did a colmplete rebuild and just told me that the trans will be able to handle what i throw at it. I trust em he did my last trans for my turbo silverado and that thing took a beating. following...

i had trans built so the trans can handle it. Well looks like tax time will be going with MS is it a pain in the ass to hook up? i have done a wire tuck on my car and ecu is inside already so that might make it easier. So im sold on the MS and will be getting that bad boy, and going eagle rods...

well factory injectors are like 220cc so those are an upgrade. i know aem and megsquirt are avaiable and tuneable but didnt want ot have to go that route. but looks like i may have to eventually. hate messing with wiring. if im getting mega squrit then just going with the 440cc i have already...

good point. im trying to make some good numbers my keeping the car as efficient as possible. If there was tuning software available for these motors i would probably just been able to tune it. just thinking of possibly keeping the stock compression 9.6:1 and maybe 330cc injectors with 12:1 fmu...

lol its a 420a and i will have forged internals. with 420a we dont have any tuning software. only fmu and mega squirt. My goal is make as much power as i can as a dd. It pulls pretty decent at 8lbs but now that im used to it, kinds wanna turn it up a few lbs. Boosting with my 01silverado was...

After lots of searching im curious about how much boost i can run using 91 octane. Also just wanting to see the difference and comparison to 8.8:1 pistons with h beam rods, vs stock compression. I just want to get as much power as i can using pump gas. Just asking for experiances or any kind of info

Man that is impressive. congrats man. As a V8 guy myslef nobody can deny that your car is a beast and, good job killin that mustang.

i agree with jayson use clear. It turned out nice on mine.

i sanded it and and rattle canned it. i used 5 coats of it all over the engine bay and still looks good even after the az heat

black under the hood looks great and seems easier to clean for some reason. i went satin black under mine. I am looking forward to seeing how your build comes out.

i have 2inch springs with kyb's on my avenger and they work great and sit right at the perfect height. anytime u change rife height an alignment is recommended

u guys doing this tomorrow

I was not able to make it to any before but next one im in. Cars finished with rebuild and turbo, runs great and finishing up the tuck then ready for the road. Looking forward to meeting some other car enthusists.

problem solved car will be ready for next months meet

finally broke down and sent it to a mechanic. ECU was damaged, which is funny cause i replaced that first and still didnt work. turned out to be defective. I tried to take it back to oreilly and they said since it was out of the warranty they had to sell me another. Needles to say was a little...

still no progress. going to wire tuck and see if replacing wiring and tuck will take care of the problem.

im not talking about when it i crank it, im talking about when key turns on, every car does this when you turn the key to the run position pre-starting it. the check enging light will turn on to do a check and shuts off. Plus fuel pump will turn on. When i turn the key to the run position, Check...

It was the ground from the battery to the trans, i cleaned the botht contact areas and checked the cable itself and now, strater works great.Both are good, i just dont hear the pump coming on and the check engine light does not come on at all so means no power to ecu.i checked the...

Sorry for no update, but figured out the starter issue, looks like ground was bad so was able to take car of that problem, so now im thinking that may be the case with the other issue im having so i will be looking into that next, wish me luck.

thanks man ill let you know what i decide to do.

well still no start and saying screw it and try wire tucking to see if it fixes the problem, since ill be rewiring everything under the hood.so now i need to know what i will need for this process and wonder who in gilbert area wouldnt mind lending a hand.

Like 2 weeks. All lights come on.but not the check engine light. It seems like no power going to the ecu

Already replaced the ecu on sunday. Still car is giving me the bird.

thats the 1st thing i checked.so if i cant figure out what the heck is wrong i was thinking of a wire tuck, and hoping that would fix the problem if all else fails.I put my obd 2 scanner to it. It does not connect to the ecu. Any ideas?

yes is did. inside and out. there is power throughout the car but from what i can gather. ecu not getting any power. relays are good. im just wondering if maybe i missed a ground somewhere.

i havent check it yet. i just took the optima outta the plastic and popped it in. ill have to double check when i get home. But say it happens not to be the battery. A week or 2 ago i would turn on the key and the fuel pump would prime. and when i finally go to turn it over, nothing happens...

its an automatic

I recently rebuilt my 420a, installed a turbo,and rebuild the trans. I go to fire it up. Nothing. No crank not even clicking. The check engine light doesn't even come on to do the test, fuel pump does not prime. I checked the ground on the trans, from the fire wall to the intake manifold, from...

it should be a DSM ecu its same part number as an Eclipse ecu

haha.. i look forward to cruisin with you guys. ill keep you posted when cars ready.
