Two weeks ago, I finally achieved the dream that I've been fantasizing about since I was about 9 years old. I'm now a proud owner of a 2008 Corvette C6. Velocity Yellow with the 2LT package, including the NPP exhaust for 436 hp/428 ft lbs. of torque. However, now faced with having to take two...
First off, my apologies if this doesn't belong here. Anyway, my alternator is slowly dying, and I'm looking for a new one. NSA has alternators with NO remanufactured parts which is what I'm looking for. Also, they all rate at 90 amps. So, anyone buy one from NSA? Any inputs or other advice?
I'm on my way home from work yesterday, and I decided to punch it in 5th gear. Long story short, when I hit 15+psi, my boost shoots straight to 20(not like the gradual climb) And my revs shoot high, but the car doesn't move to complement the increase, as if I lost traction or something. The...
Almost two months ago, I had my car dyno tuned at extreme motorsports. Long story short, I netted 296.8whp, and 282.5 ft lbs/tq @ a very weak 12psi. :)I will now list the relevant(what I believe to be relevant that is)mods before I ask my most important questions.Non BB PTE 50...
Hey guys,
I just installed my aeromotive FPR kit from Slowboy with the pushlok install kit(minus teflon tape). Other than minor mistakes on my part WTF, every thing was easier than I could have ever imagined. The pushlok kit is pretty much the same as the SS kit, with the exception that you...
For Sarronno Red. I'm finally done procrastinating, and will finally get my front bumper repainted. I for some reason remember the color code being found somewhere on the car, but I'm in Florida, and the car is in VA, so I wouldn't be able to look until tomorrow.....
With the constant increase of gas prices nationwide, and the lack of a visual of it coming to an end, have you decided to drive less than you have before?
1G, 2G, doesn't really matter, as I'm gonna take some time looking around before I go through with this. Any pics or links would be most helpful. Thanks!
It started happening over the last few days. When I start the car first thing in the AM to head to work, it wants to behave as advertised. However, I asy that maybe after the first 10 minutes of running, it starts acting all haywire. Also, sometimes when I turn my headlamps on, the needle...

Anyone have a good site I can get one from? All my gauges were white, but now that I'm changing to a all black and red scheme, my current HVAC looks totally out of place. ROFL
From one prob to the next....After I got rid of my voltage issue, I decided to tackle my only other issue-erratic display from my SAFC. It still worked, but I sometimes couldn't see anything. If I wanted to see the display, I would have to put a little pressure on it.Anyway, I opened it up...
Okay, well this problem has been going on for a while now. I'll get in to start my car, and it takes a while for my alt to "warm up" to 13.9 v. Whenever I come to a stop, it'll drop to 11.8. I rev to 1.5, after a while it goes back up to 13.9. This happens all the time, especially at night...
I decided to hook up my logger today, and I pulled these codes:P0130-02 sensor bank one
P0300-blankI did notice that since 02 code popped, my logger cannot read any 02 voltage. I have no idea what the other one means since it was blank. Any insight as to what I should do to remedy...
It's been a very long time since I've done anything to this car, and it's mainly due to either always working or being out of town.Today however I did notice that my car not only has the same hard pull as I remember, but when my turbo spools, the pitch is at a higher tone than I remember. I...
Since the Good, bad, an ugly for 2004 was made, what better than to create the resolutions thread? Mine:Finally put off smoking once and for all
Continue to be serious about modeling and acting
Get back to being the person I was 5 years ago....which could mean trouble ;).

For those in places where the track season has ended. For me, I'll be out of the country for most of next year. However I do have goals, though not many.1. I want to fully understand tuning, so for once I can run right.
2. Have confidence to run on slicks/radials without probs

I've been having issues with snapping many alt belts lately. I've never noticed any of my pulleys"shifting" until yesterday. It's the pulley on the bottom.There are two next to each other. The one on the inside connected to another belt. The one the outside is the one that's "shifting"...
I'm not on a comp to where I can download my logs, so I have to just type it out. As the thread says, I logged a few runs today. here are my findings(@22 psi, using RPM, Timing, and 02 bank 1) this was a 3rd gear pull from 2.5k to 7k rpm.
2445 RPM, 29 Deg, .26v
2644 RPM, 28 Deg, .06v

You should know how it works. I say a word, you follow up with the first word (or phrase) that crosses your mind that relates to it(though I know it will stray away from time to time lol).1.Diamond
I am thinking:
LTFT
STFT1+2
Ignition timing
Airflow rate
Coolant temp
02Anything I should add? Remove? Also, what psi would be a good startitng point?(SCM 61 with supporting mods). Should I go 0 across the board on my safc, and tune from there? sorry for all the ?s :p
I'm trying to decide which tuning tool I should get, as I already have a SAFC and MAFT. Should I get a simple logger, or shell out the big cash for a DSMlink? I've finally gotten to that point to where I can't truly get any further without REAL tuning, and need some help in choosing.
I have a 2nd trans that I'm currently building. I need to replace my shifter rods(primarily 3/4) but I can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where I can find them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!:dsm:
On my 56 trim that I've had not even 6 months yet.Findings:
Blue/gray smoke from exhaust at idle and accelerating. God awful oil burning smellOther than that, the car runs fine. I can boost, and hold boost. The turbo spools like normal, doesn't whine. The engine itself also feels...
It just started happening yesterday on my way to Baltimore. But it only happens when I apply more that 60-70% throttle. Also, if I set the cruise control it doesn't happens. Anyone know of some kind of shifter cable fix, or some other easy fix to this?
I'm open to all opinions, and will answer any questions, so please help. here's the story:I turn the key to see my voltage on my TT always before I actually start it. The voltage reads 8.5(ouch). So of course when I turn the key to start it, it won't start. The volts then go up to about...
I've had my alternator checked, and it was good. My battery was good, but I opted for a red optima battery anyway. The prob is my car is dead-all the time(even before I switch to the optima). If I jump it, it runs just fine until I turn the car off. Immediately after the car shuts off, it's...
I grind hard every time I go into 2nd gear. My friend and I checked out the clutch cable and the ends (right above the tranny) is ripped, and I can actually wiggle both the cable. My friend thinks the cable will fix it, I think that my synchros are shot as well. How can I prove it? Also...
Whether at regular driving, low boost, or high boost, I completely lean out, no matter how much fuel I add to the safc or MAFT. I've had my battery, and alternator checked, and both check ok-however I'm running at like 11.7 volts.:thumbdown: Is it possible this low voltage is causing the...
What's the best "slicks" set up? i don't really have much knowledge about this subject. But after all that I have done, it's either a AWD-RWD conversion or slicks. And for now slicks are the cheapest way to go.For all intensive purposes, Stages I and II are complete.
I'm going to make alot of changes in the next few days.....and I need the help of my fellow tuners. Should I keep my engine bay red, or should I switch to chrome? Please pick one or the other and you all or more than free to leave opinions :thumbPhoenix
I'm not sure if this thread belongs here, but what the hell. I'm strongly contemplating getting polyurethane motor mounts to eliminate as much wheel hop as possible which is good, but the bad part is that I hear that it makes for a very shitty ride. I would only like to hear from those who...
I made this pic with a few things in mind. My previous Eclipse was stolen, stripped and burned. My new car looks virtually just like it. And my name just happens to be Phoenix. Enjoy.1. mythology mythological bird: in ancient mythology, a bird resembling an eagle that lived for 500 years...
Does anyone know where I can find a piar of rear lower control arms for a good price??? My ball joints are shot, and there is no recall for the rear ones. Is there anything I can do in the meanwhile to soften the blow from the bad ball joints?
I finally got my car back after waiting 40 days for a transmission. Everything seems to be ok so far with the exception that my Kenwood XRC-858 keeps shutting on/off. My voltage is at around 13.4v. Any ideas?
Before I get into this, the reason for the tranny was because I wheel hopped so bad that I busted my spider gears straight through my transmission:cry: . I had a rebuilt one installed this past weekend. However, I'm experiencing the following:1)Car oscillates between 1-1.5k
2)I hear...
