  1. WTB: Kiggly Steel Street Beehive Valve Springs with Retainers or Brian Crower Valve Springs with Steel Retainers

    Wanted 4G63 WTB: Kiggly Steel Street Beehive Valve Springs with Retainers or Brian Crower Valve Springs with Steel Retainers

    I'm looking to buy a set of aftermarket valve springs with retainers. Ideally I would like a set of Kiggly Steel Street's, but also wouldn't mind a set of BC's either. However, I am open to other brands as well.Please let me know what you have.

    Resolved 2G Is this nick in camshaft journal a problem?

    Thank you for the reply, as always.I was thinking the aluminum head vs. steel cam would work in my favor, so thank you for that reassurance.I was hesitant to hit it with any abrasive for fear of making it worse, but if I do, I'll go with the 1000 grit like you suggested.Thank you again

    Resolved 2G Is this nick in camshaft journal a problem?

    Upon removing my valve seals for replacement it appears I nicked the edge of a cam cap. It is really hard to get a good picture of what I am referring to, but I tried. The nick isn’t on the contact surface of the cam cap, but rather the “edge” that forms a 90-degree angle between the surface the...

    2G White Crust on Exhaust Valves

    I just pulled the head on the 1996 7-Bolt that I took out of my Spyder GST. Upon doing so, I found the exhaust valves had an uneven white crusty substance on their faces as well as a white substance on the valve stems, viewable through the exhaust ports when the exhaust manifold is taken off...

    Is it OK to Turn 4G63 Long-Block Upside Down on Engine Stand for roughly 24 hours?

    Ok, thank you for the replies. That pretty much confirmed what I was concerned about possibly happening in regard to oil past the piston rings and into the combustion chamber, and also into the valve cover baffles from the valve train. Those likelihoods coupled with the introduction of air into...

    Is it OK to Turn 4G63 Long-Block Upside Down on Engine Stand for roughly 24 hours?

    Would it be a problem to rotate my mostly assembled long block upside down on my engine stand and leave it like that for roughly 24 hours while I reseal the oil pan?The oil is drained out and I would drain the rest of the coolant remaining in the block prior to doing so. I am, however...

    How to Plug the Factory Anti-Lag Port on an Evo 3 Intake Manifold

    Yes, since you won’t be using an EGR valve, you won’t need your factory MDP sensor anymore. If you’re running ECMLink you can use the now free MDP input and and an adapter to log a MAP sensor instead (or something else).You’ll also need to figure out how you’re going to mount your ignition...

    2G Radiator Differences?

    I’ve never owned an A/T DSM, but I do believe the difference is that radiators that are specified for A/T have provisions for a trans cooler, whereas the M/T radiators do not.

    Adding Bluetooth to OEM Audio systems

    Agreed this is old technology and integrating Blu-Tooth via the means you suggested for $130 is certainly easy enough. I was more suggesting a way to integrate it into the OEM unit internally via a cheap $10 Blu-Tooth module by figuring out solder points on the head unit’s internal PCB, etc...

    Adding Bluetooth to OEM Audio systems

    It might not be too hard to do or figure out either. Soldering to 12V and Ground inside the Head Unit is easy. Then I guess you would solder from the Audi-Out on the module to a mode you were willing to forfeit in the Head Unit (AM Radio). There’s probably a few more things to address, but...

    ECMlink Question About Running Wideband While Deleting Rear O2

    Thanks for the info, and good tip on plugging the O2 sensor hole.I was concerned that the ECU would continue to power the “Rear O2 Heater” pinout, thus keeping the “hot” wire inside the O2 plug under my seat energized and creating a fire hazard.

    2G Smoke Coming from Turbo After 14B Install on a 2G

    In the interest of posting the "solution" to this issue I was having, it turns out it must have been the anti-seize on my manifold to turbo bolts that was causing the turbo-area smoking issue, along with whatever else got on there during install.Hopefully this helps someone else possibly...

    ECMlink Question About Running Wideband While Deleting Rear O2

    I am about to install my Innovate LC2 into my 2G Spyder GST.

    2G Smoke Coming from Turbo After 14B Install on a 2G

    Yeah, I was checking the exhaust pipe intermittently for any type of smoke during that first heat cycle, especially blue, but there was none whatsoever.I’m going to heat cycle it again and move it into my garage. I’ll see what happens then, I’m thinking it’s the anti-seize on manifold to...

    2G Smoke Coming from Turbo After 14B Install on a 2G

    Thank you guys for the responses/suggestions. They all seem plausible and likely. I did use anti-seize on the manifold to turbo bolts, and all parts involved were handled extensively while getting them prepared. I think I’ll give everything another heat cycle before I pull it apart. I was...

    2G Smoke Coming from Turbo After 14B Install on a 2G

    I thought it might be just something burning off too, but it stayed pretty persistent. This is the first startup/heat cycle since the turbo swap. I did a lot of maintenance alongside the swap as well. So the car has never left the driveway or made boost since the 14B was put on. The turbo was on...

    450whp might be a little wishful thinking, and that number exceeds what I originally set out to obtain, but you know how it goes.
