thanks for the response

Ok so i just ordered a new cable from DSMparts and apparently i ordered the wrong end so i go down to the local radio shack and buy a serial cable that will convert the female end to male end, but when i hook it up to the diagnostic port and start the car neither one of the programs will log...

Thanks for the advice guys, it helped i found my problem. After i psrayed the engine compartment down with soapy water i found all 4 of my boost leaks car runs much much better now thanks.

ya the car is firing on all four. The only reason I question the timing is I suspected that in the beginning and brought the car up to tdc on #1 cylinder then moved the cas back and forth and would get spark. I have my emmsisions removed on the car and a new boost controller. I have tested...

what makes you think that it is the timing belt. I have checked my timing 3 or 4 time now but i could be wrong

okay something weird is going on i got my car running last night after working the bugs out of it, the new engine has new pistons bearings, emissions removed, slowboy boost controller. When the car start you have to keep your foot in it to keep it running and it stumbles and spits. The higher...

After 3 days of guessing and trying different options i figured out that i had my cas plugged into the wrong harness duh!! :|Then last night the car would start but i would just limp along run uneven and just plain crappy, so i checked all my sensors chekced for restriction in the intake...

No need to reply now i figured out what the problems was. Something stupid :|

Okay i just rebuilt my motor a little while ago and have got it back in the car and ready to fire ,but the only problem is that i have no fuel or spark. I have fuel up to the rail , but my injectors won't pulse. When i discovered these problems i searched through this forum and a lot was...

Sorry i did not reply sooner i have been busy with school, work, and trying to get this car fired up.Well bored .30 over, Ross forged pistons, Arp main studs, head studs, rod bolts, BS removed,1990 eprom ecu, slow boy racing boost controller, walboro 255 Rewired, Adjustable FPR, EGR and...

Hey I am finally in the last processes of finishing my car tell me what you guys think. :dsm:

On my way to work today a white tsi pulled out in front of me in newtonia . I was wondering if it was somebody on this forum Thanks. :cool:

Hey if anyone wants a 6 bolt block rods pistons and crank are still intact. I will sell cheap. PM me

ya i live about 8 miles outside monett towards neosho. my 90 gsx is in rebuild situation. 2 more months and should be done.

On my head somebody had tried to take the cam gears off but instaead of using the hex on the cam itself they used the lobes :confused: so i took it to a machine shop and they polished for me.

i used STP that really sticky oil treatment. On all my bearings but arp moly lube on all my studs.

In the description of the safc it states that it gives you the ability to adjust 50% +or-on the fuel.So what it is saying is that you have 50% control on the stock calibration of the ecu since it is a piggyback. So what if you have your ecu reprogrammed, will it then give you 50% both...

what is talkin about is sometimes metal from the cylinder walls and pistons etc. will build up around the top, and form a little ridge around the top of the cylinder walls. but when i did my rebuild there wasn't one. :thumb:

its the mass air flow meter off of a gm vehicle

I would say that you would definitely want to have washers.

i meant now

ah yes its all becoming clear know.thanks

what i meant to say was externally mounted wastegates on the o2 housing.

i understand, that but have you seen those externally mounted wastegates. I just don't understand whow they are supposed to work

Here's my question if the Wastegate was mounted on the O2 housing then the gases would still have to go through the outlet turbine to be expelled. Where as if the wastegate was mounted before the turbo that would be the best idea would'nt it? maybe someone can clear this up for me.Thanks...

ya, thanks for the replys.

I am doing a rebuild on my gsx and removed the balance shafts. Instead of buying the kit i just took the old bearings and turned them 180 degrees of the oil holes. and on the oil pump shaft i just cut it down to 1/1/2 inches. here is my question the hole on the back of the stubby shaft does...

thanks

does anyone know if there is a way to eliminate the shaft that is connected to the backside of the oil pump?

i use a set of telescoping gauges for the cylinder and measure the skirt of the piston with a micrometer then compare the two

i found this website a while back it is very informative if you are looking to build your own or just to understand how it works www.nitrous.info

I have a 1990 gsx and am rebuilding the motor my piston to cylinder wall clearence is about 2 thousandths and might become more after i hone in the haynes manual i think the service limit is .0017 i am not sure is this to much clearence if i plan to add more boost and more strain on the motor...
