Whats up guys. Here's my issue. I keep seeing knock, even in 2nd gear, around mid range. Boost is set to only 15 psi and I see that my AFRs drop from 11:1 to 10:7 around 4.5k rpms, then it goes back to 11:0. Not sure if this is whats causing me to run a little richer here but that might be...
Whats up guys. I've been into DSMs for about 9 years now. I moved to Tucson back in January, got my DSM out here and ive been working on it for about 4 months now. It's almost road worthy and I would love to meet some DSMers in Tucson.Additionally, and unfortunately, my car has a little bit of...
Whats up guys.
Recently I started got around to tearing down my 6 bolt that had some bad rings and started to build everything for a 20g. I had been running just a 14b on a rebuilt oem 6 bolt. I only put 8k miles on it, but it had 120psi across the board and leakdown test pointed to the rings...
Hey guys, I know many of you are going to say this has been covered 1000x times, but I recently got my block back from the machine shop. They just used a ball hone since there was plenty of cross etching in the cylinder walls. I have been gapping piston rings, putting the rings in and out of the...
I just bought a 97 GST Spyder. On the way back the CE light came on and it started sputtering. It died and now won't start. No spark. It threw a code for random misfire. Cleared that. Still won't start. I tested the voltage and resistance on the crank sensor and I get nothing. Could this be...
Where to start... Well i've had my white 95 tsi awd for 7 years, and it was more or less my first car that wasn't a hand me down from my parents. So she is my baby.For the first 4 years she was in the shop seemingly for more than she was running. Finally, my father and I started doing all...
So I figured I would move this discussion over from the turbo tech since thats where it started.I put a rebuilt 6 OEM bolt engine in my car back in august and so far I have about 4k miles on it. Right now it is burning a significant amount of oil (a quart every couple hundred to a thousand...
Hey allRecently my 14b gave out on me and gave me the dreaded turbo shriek. Im currently using a borrowed 14b turbo and the owner needs it back soon.My first question is: Is there any chance that I could have damaged the cartridge (the housing for the bearings and all the components...
Here is a quick idle log after I fixed my latest boost leak (my old manual boost controller). Before the leak fix, my fuel trims were at 12% at idle, now they seem to be around 8-9%.Mods are: 14b, evo injectors, FMIC, 1g bov, 6 bolt swap.The only thing I can think of would be another...
So I know there is a section for posting logs and tuning advice but im still a probationary member even though i've been around these cars for 7 years and have a lot of experience.Im seeing some knock with AF readings at or below 10.0 and timing pulled back to 5. This doesn't seem very...
I know there have been a lot of these threads asking for advice on which clutch fits the car and goals, but I wanted some input on my situation.I'm fairly certain that my clutch is going because about a week ago it started slipping in 4th and 5th and recently in 3rd. I'm babying it and...
Hey guys I'd just like to introduce myself real quick.
I've been into DSMs for about 8 years now, owning 2 for the past 7 years. When I was 16 I bought a 93 tsi awd with my own money, however my parents didn't like the fact that it didn't have airbags. My parents bought me my 95 tsi awd and...
