    AEM help with AEM Infinity Idle issues

    Hello everyone. I am trying to get my car to idle decently (2.0L, 9.0:1 pistons, eagles, FIC850 Injectors) I want to insert my most recent log file, but I don't know if I can here. What I'm dealing with is very lean rough idle. I've turned off idle, and lambda feedback, and ign trims, and am...

    2G New 7 bolt build Low Oil Pressure

    I know I'll probably get poached for this, but I need some help figuring out my situation. I've got a fresh built 7 bolt 2.0l Supertech pistons and eagle rods. I'm positive all of my bearing clearances are great! (0.0028 on rods 0.0025 on mains) I have low oil pressure at cold idle (haven't run...

    AEM [Resolved] Kiggly 12T + AEM infinity spark timing way off, Help!

    Hey everybody. I'm desperately trying to get the 2g 95 TSI going after rebuilt here. I installed the kiggly 12t trigger disk in order to resolve the difficult starting/misfiring issue.

    Supertech diesel oil for break-in

    Hey guys. I'm hoping to get my car started here for the first few times after being rebuilt. I'm going to go for rotella 15W-40 deisel oil for the first 1000km or so driving. I may continue using it after or switch to a synthetic 5W-40.Because this rebuild was necessitated by a glittery flow...

    2G 94 octane, 850cc inj + meth max power

    Hey everybody. A quick search didn't show me quite what I was looking for. But I have a simple question.I've got 9.0:1 forged pistons and a stock valve training for now. I'm limited to 94 octane which seems to be pretty good out here (one guy making a lil over 500hp on it here) but I feel...

    Timing skipped while working on my car?

    Hey guys, so I'm pretty perplexed by this. I double and triple checked my timing and tension as I was putting my motor together. Turning the motor many times. The tensioner was such that the pin slid in and out freely. (And yes I removed it before installing the cover.)I checked it again...

    Help with oil filter housing ports.

    I took this motor apart like 2 years ago and I lost my old housing with all the sensors attached still. I forgot what's what on this thing but I did some research and I think I know which holes the sensors go in, I'm assuming it won't hurt anything to block these off for the time being (until I...

    Artificial Oil Pressure For First Startup

    Hey guys. So my local machine shop has quite a good rep, they even do full engine builds and warranty them. When I was in there talking to one of the machinists about my block he showed me this thing they had built to help produce consistent reliable builds. It looked pretty djanky but it was...

    AEM How much timing reduction for 9.0:1

    Hey everybody. I'm about to get my car started for the first time after building the motor with 9.0:1 compression pistons. I'm running straight 94 octane for now, with an HX35. I don't have the map available right now, but I had the car running well on stock 8.5:1 pistons up to 12 psi on a...

    Hey guys. I have a cheap manifold, I got a stronger one but it doesn't fit with the holset. I'm not sure what it is, maybe somebody else knows.

    Cylinder surface rust removal

    Hey friends. So the block had bearings run through its oil passages, so naturally I pressure washed the heck out of it. Before I was able to get the cylinders dry, very minimal rust formed on the cylinders. They have already been honest and are at max spec with my pistons so I don't want to...

    Did the machine shop heck my rod bushings?

    What is up my dudes. So I took my rods to a reputable machine shop which I've had a good experience with once in the past. They had to hone my rod bushings to my supertech wristpins and he wrote the clearance on each rod.That's 0.0028" for each rod. Isn't that a little loose? I plan to run...

    Loose pistons?

    Hey everybody. I just got my super tech 9.0:1 pistons in. The machine shop said my std bore cylinders looked good after a honing and measured just within spec (PTW) against the stock pistons. So I decided on some standard bore forged pistons. I measured my cylinders about 2"down with a...

    Who make 4034 pistons?

    Hi all. I'm looking for a forged piston for a medium build (maybe 500hp) and I'm opting for a 4032 piston as opposed to a 2618 because I dont need maximal strength and would benefit from less thermal expansion and a closer ptw as I plan to daily the car.My issue is that I just have to filter...

    Can you use stroker pistons with an 88mm crank?

    Total noob question, but I can't seem to find a straight answer. Can I use stroker pistons with a standard stroke crankshaft? I have found a really good deal on some JE pistons in my bore, but they say they are for the a 7 bolt 4g63 with 100mm stroke crank. I have the standard 88mm crank, and...

    What block is this?

    So it was my understanding that turbo blocks have a 4G63T stamp on them, and the N/T have a 4G63 stamp. I was also under the impression that one of the few differences between the blocks is that the turbo blocks have oil quirters and the N/T blocks don't.I was worried about piston heat...

    DSM rings vs EVO 8 rings

    Hey there. I was wondering if anybody knows how different evo 8 rings are from standard 2g DSM 7 bolt 4g63 rings, and more specifically, if I could use rings for evo 8 pistons on my oem DSM pistons. Reason is I have a new set of OEM evo 8 rings and if they're the same then I'd rather save the cost.
