Got a PS pump I could sell you if you need it.

Can a blown head gasket cause me to not build any boost?

Dont know if itll help any but i pulled the intake off to check the tubro and it has a little shaft play side to side but not a lot.30 minutes later... I checked to see if i could build boost in drive while holding the brake and it wouldnt. Maybe 1 or 2 psi.Doesnt smoke at idle. Just when...

On my way from work i went to accelerate from a red light and it felt like my car had zero power. It would have been a normal accelerarion that had my car shifting around 3.5 to 4 grand (probably half throttle if that) so i then knew something was up. After that it seemed fine and the. Turning...

That's what I figured man. I'm gonna install the MBC and just go from there.But my bov was leaking bad at 15 pounds and now the power difference is night and day with the 1g bov at 15 psi.

I just don't understand how the pipe and bov are making it spike so high. Its never done that.

So I just installed a uicp and a 1g bov. My car was at 15 psi from bolt ons and the bcs mod but now its spiking past 20 and always past 15 but creeps and stays steady at around 14-15. Should I install my MBC? Should I worry about the car kitting 20 psi for a second?

I got this code a few months ago after my car was idleing for about ten minutes. Replaces the IAC valve and the code went away. This morning after getting to work it was ideling for about 15 minutes and the CEL came on with the same code.My question is what can cause this problem? I never...

When I have time I'll take it apar . I'm pretty sure its just the motor because whether I move the switch up or down the motor never stops engaging. Thanks for that picture though man that makes it a lot easier.

Yeah I can slide it up and down with my hands.

Didn't realise there were cables in the assembly?

Last night u went to roll my driver side window up and heard a snapping noise and then the window wouldn't roll up or down. When I use the switch it still makes noise but doesn't sound like it should. I sounds like its broken or something. But if the motor was bad wouldn't it not work at all?

Where in Indiana? I'm in Illinois but I'll drive!

I think its cool that you gave everyone the finger and continued with the build. But did you ever stop and ask yourself if you're waisting your time and money? You could have made a badass 1g with that time and money.

I'm not going to pay the grand for the machining. I'm going to find a cheaper place.

Is there anything else i should get that i didnt list?

Well my car has 170k miles. Never rebuilt. I dont plan on getting rid of the car anytime soon and its also my DD. But I need to do valve stem seals soon but i figured I would just get a remaned head from clearwater cylinder heads for 350. And now I figure I might as well just rebuild the block...

If my block and head get resurfaced do i need a thicker head gasket?

Do people reuse their stock rods?

I keep reading threads about top line rebuild kits but I can't find the kit anywhere. Did they stop making the kit? I see there pistons on eBay but that's pretty much it.Anyways.. Anyone ever used this kit? http://m.ebay.com/itm/Eagle-Talon-2-0-4G63-16V-Engine-Rebuild-Kit-/360320376272?nav=SEARCH

Let us know how it goes. I think I have the same issue as you and want to know what resolves yours.

Just to start off I have been reading threads for the last three hours and cant find anything to answer my question or is too old to apply. For example I read a lot of posts talking about partsdinosaur but come to find out its no longer around.Okay so I'm planning to rebuild my engine soon. No...

I replaced the IAC because it threw a CEL. Replaced it real quick and the light went awa . Afterwards I noticed it idleing a little lower.

So when I drive my car in town it smells bad... I really don't think its an exhaust leak. I have no cat.I've thought for a while that I may have a bad valve stem seal because of smoking on cold start. Could bad valve stem seals allowing oil to be burned and no cat be causing my smell??I'm...

Right on! You guys are awesome and thanks a lot for answering so quick!

I'll do that tomorrow while I'm at work. Now does a low idle like that have any negative effects as far as running lean or rich or anything like that?

Pic attached. Been like this for about a month since I replaced my IAC valve.

I'm for sure getting some... For less than 200 bucks you can't beat it.

I guess its just confusing that the wires come in lengths from small to large.

Okay so I'm getting ready to put new spark plugs on wires on my car so I've been reading about firing order and all that. This two pictures I've uploaded show the firing order and that simple... My next question is the wires pictured and even the wires on my car aren't the same size. They go...

Right on guys thanks for the info.

Hey fellas... Couple questions... My valve cover has a tiny crack in the well so it fills up with oil. So I bought another cover and will replace it today. However.... A week ago I did the valve cover gasket and the rings and bought an OEM cap thinking t One of those would fix the oil in the...

^^^ lol

How about the endeavors?? Would you drive one of those?? :barf:

That's not 100% true. Over the last 5 years a ton of people have been laid off. And I know a guy who works there currently and he said everyone that works there now has taken huge pay cuts and he also said how he is making now what he made 15 years ago. The place has been going downhill for a...

Yeah man I live here in Bloomington normal and I can't say that I'm surprised. That place used to look like an ocean of cars and the past few years you could see less and less each year.It is nuts to think the place where our cars were built is gonna be gone though.

He is just trying to get an idea of what he will be looking at. No need to be an ass.And I can't tell you how much it'll be for all that work but when I had my head rebuilt here in normal il I paid 280.

Wish there was. I'm down in Bloomington normal.

Can you elaborate on the new technology thing?

See I understand why the tC is cheap... The interior looks cheap. They don't handle for shit. And his car on papaer is barely quicker then a basic 2015 civic. I'm just curious what made our cars worth over 25k in the 90's.

Sorry in advance.. I had no idea where to post this.Well my friend just got financed for 2009 Scion tC and thinks its the shit. He says he could smoke me and blah blah blah. He's nuts. Anyways he said his car was worth more new and I showed him my original window sticker that says it was 27k...

I live in an apartmemt and I'm not allowed to do any work to my car in the parking lot and really have no other place to work on it at. Wish I could though man. Thanks for the reply.

Hey fellas..So my oil pan is leaking a little and I'm taking it to the mechanic next week to get it resealed. My question is, how many hours of labor I should expect to pay for.My exhaust was out on with new hardware just a few months ago so getting the down pipe off shouldn't be a problem...

Will the not fix what they screwed up?

One line going to the turbo and the other going to the actuator. I looked up several threads on installing them so I'm positive I did it the right way.

Well it was a boost leak causing the bogging. Which probably explains the MBC not working right. Still not sure why my car is hitting 14 psi with just bolt ons. I ended up unplugging the MBC and hooking the bcs back up. Could the bov dump tube mod increase psi?

The bcs is still mounted and the wires are still there but the vacuum hoses are disconnected. Its just chilling there. And what was happening definitely was not violent. It was small studders. Before I put on the MBC I had zero issues. I put the MBC on and now my car studders and wot and I can't...

Hey fellas!So tonight I did a few things to my car. Nothing to serious. I took off the smic and cleaned it (I used gas and it came out looking real dark) and I then cut the bov dump tube and finally installed a MBC.So I went to do a few pulls and set the psi where I wanted it. I started at...

That eBay pipe looks like a perfect circle as where the stock 2g maf is an oval. How does that pipe even bolt on?
