HeheheReminds me of a story my dad told me. A guy called into a car radio talk show and said he figured out how to get more oil out of the car when he changes it by turning it on. Got a few more pints out that way he said.
The pressure in a radiator only goes as high as the radiator pressure cap. Which I think is about 13 psi (correct me if I'm wrong) So I don't think they would design them to hold much more then that. Besides the whole flow issue.
My car did the same thing a few days ago. It would misfire at idle but would be fine at partial throtle. When I floored it it would pull hard until high boost and then sputter and loose power. I changed the spark plugs and it didn't help but when I changed the wires it ran like a dream again...
I have a friend who used to have a small truck(I can't remember the kind) with a 302 in it that was slightly modded. Well he is out cruising and he pulls up next to a geo metro at a stop light. He is messing around with it revving the engine a little. The geo doesn't do anything until the...
Ok. last night on my way home from the movies I floor through first and it runs great. I shift then floor it again and when it hits about ten psi it hits a wall. It feels like it is misfiring really bad and the boost won't raise anymore and it won't accellerate. I get off it realy quick and...
I changed my mind when i found out you can get mandrel bent tubing and a flex section on ebay for 10 bucks a piece. Is it a no no to weld your downpipe to your o2 housing?
Well I got my cat-back exhaust for free but the problem was it was a press bent. since it is an awd there isn't too many bends. It is better than stock right? I some day will get an o2 dump so that should make up for the restiction right?Thanks.
well I had my mas unplugged for a while because I forgot to plug it back in. It wasn't for vary long (only like five minutes) but while it was out it was floored at 15 psi once. I tell you it still pulls about the same but the idle isn't steady which is how I figured it out. Well it shot...
HelloI am not sure if my bov is working. I think that I might be able to hear it in between shifts but I am not sure. It kind of sounds like a little whoosh noise. When I rev it to redline in neutral you cant hear it even with the hood up and standing right next to it. I cant get the...
I am in the middle of installing a dejon tool boost controller and need help with the wiring. It says the cigar lighter is a good place so I pull up the cover and there is four wires there. Which one do I hook up to? :confused: There is a blue with a white stripe, a green with a blue stripe...
So would you have to have a 3 inch exhast or could you go with 2.5 inch and reach about the same levels? I only plan on going to an evo 16g turbo. Also, this is a dumb question i know, the wastegate stays closed until it hits the boost you set right? I want to get the atomsphere dump but if...
I was driving home the other night and was thinking about exhast. Then an idea hit me. I you have a atmosphere dump on your o2 housing then wouldn't you not need to have the 3" exhast as much because when you step on it your wastegate will open your exhast wouldn't have to flow as much...
HiCan you use a sony clie as a datalogger? It says palm powered on the back so I think it has the right operating system plus it has the ports on it. I got it for free so if it will work I will be happy.Thanks
HeyI have a few questions. If I get a o2 housing is it better to get the atmospheric dump or exhast dump? This is a very noob question, is the o2 sensor housing before or after the turbo? (don't hurt me) My last question is that I am planning on doing a evo 11 16g upgrade (someday...
Sorry, I had a lapse in judgement. I just was looking a went "thats cheap i should get it" I changed my mind though be cause I don't even have a boost controller so getting that would be pretty much pointlessSorry
this is on ebay and i am thinking of buying it to vent to the atmosphere. What else would it need besides the translater and datalogging equipment? what kind of piping?EDIT:forgot the adress :D...
Is there a GM car that you can take a GM MAS out of? I am poo' (cant even afford the r. Stupid gas prices) I know I will need a translater also. If i get a translater do a need an air/fuel controller?Thanks
I have the stock turbo and have only done the boost control solenoid mod. My question is this, at mid-range rpms I have 12.5 psi of boost but when I get nearer to redline my boost drops to around 10 psi. Why does it do that? Is there anyway I can get rid of it?Thanks
Well I hooked up my boost gauge today. Its totally getto. I have it taped to my dash because I cant afford a pod yet. I also didn't go though the firewall i went up through the side of the hood and in a crack through the door to my dash. I did it quick because I had to go to work then go...
I did a search on this but they did have what mine is doing. When my car is cold is grinds into first everyonce in a while. It goes in fine but grinds as it goes in. When it is warmed up it doesn't do this. I also grinds it to second unless I wait a sec before I put it in to gear. It...
There is one on the top towards the front of the car. It sucks to get too. We just completely tear out the plastic screws and replace them with real ones
I have had my car for almost a week now and I cant get the stupid air filter out of the air can. not even the MAS. I have unhooked the three clips but I just cant get it out far enough. Can I just remove the entire air can. I heard it will get hot air from the engine but I figured when it...
Would the K&N FIPK fit on a 90 GXT with now major problems? Plus, is it worth the money?Thank youP.S. I get my car today!!!!! definate upgrade from a honda civic, although I will miss getting 40 mpg.
I had a guy who installs the mufflers at a shop say that the o2 sensor behind the cat needs to read 100 degrees lower or it makes you run rich. The cat he said cools it down. hope this helps
I am getting a '90 eclipse gxt on monday and the first thing I am going to get is a intake. The problem is I don't know what size to get. How big is the turbo end of the intake. This is also another stupid newbie question but how do you double-cluch? I know its stupid but I don't know how...
