  1. Fidanza Cam Gear Trouble

    ShottH: I am bringing this back up for a quick question.When you have the cams locked in to position, do your white lines on the fidanza line up correctly?Neither of my marks are in the middle of the teeth. In other words, the marks aren't in the same place as factory gears.Have there...
  2. low compression 60 150 150 150 please help

    Do a leakdown test, it might be a valve.
  3. Timing belt strip teeth.

    You most likely bent some valves, the best bet would be to pull the head and have it inspected by a machine shop. With 150k you probably needed a valve job anyways.
  4. Few scratchs in block. What should i do ?

    You can also get a short stick from a paint roller or anything else wooden that will fit up the bore to the bottom of the piston. That way you can tap on it without any risk of damage.
  5. Few scratchs in block. What should i do ?

    Yeah you might have busted a ring land to have that much vertical marking.There is only one way to make things right, pull the pistons out and inspect them.Replace what is broken, and hone and rering the block... on the cheap.Or 100% would be overbore pistons, new rings, bore and...
  6. DSM Experience and Feedback

    Your axles should be fine, If you do enough suspension work and buy good rims and tires for the track that will never wheelhop you will be okay.I ran about 20 or 30 low 11 second passes and a few high 10 second passes on 100% stock axles, giving it hell on slicks.The fronts were even...
  7. JNZ Shortblock Pull Apart?

    So you have a bore gauge, a ball end micrometer , a caliper, a set of feeler gauges, rod bolt stretch gauge, dial indicator and torque plate?I can promise you a real engine builder like JNZ has all that stuff.
  8. Rods That Can Handle 700 Crank Horsepower

    He asked about 4 sets of H beam rods. I have a built a few motors and I can tell you H beam rods save you a ton of money, they are almost half price.
  9. Rods That Can Handle 700 Crank Horsepower

    Guys your not even reading his post. The guy was asking about budget rods, and you guys are telling him to use 700-800 dollar rods because that is what the fastest 4g63's use.To the point, any H beam rod will work fine. Eagle or Manley would be my choice.Buying I beams for 700 crank is...
  10. JNZ Shortblock Pull Apart?

    I wouldn't think a motor would let go because of ring gap anyways. It would use a little more oil, but nothing that would cause the motor to fail.The main reason for a built motor to fail early is improper machine work. If you don't own a machine shop chances are you don't have the tools to...
  11. alternator fuse blew now i loose power when i turn key to on

    Do you have all the power wires going to the battery.Also check the ignition fuse.
  12. can neone help n tell me wer dis plug goes?

    Dis might b yer back up light on tr:hellyeah:ans?
  13. I Need to get the crank bolt off. Help on how please. Running out of options.

    ROFLI am wrong, because you used a different tool than I suggested and had bad luck?How does that make me wrong?
  14. I Need to get the crank bolt off. Help on how please. Running out of options.

    A 35 dollar electric impact from harbour freight will probably work better than your pnematic impact.
  15. Pics of my beatup pistons and my bright orange exhaust valves.

    The pistons look fine to me, you should be more worried about the bores than the top of the piston. Are there any vertical lines, or areas where the cross hatch is gone?
  16. ACT unsprung Street Disc

    THE UNSPRUNG STREET DISC has almost no chatter. What are you talking about?
  17. External Wastegate Fittment issue, Opinions wanted

    That manifold is really setup for a 1g. For the amount of stuff your hacking up for a small 20g turbo I would look at fixing it another way.Either block the wastegate there and mount something on the turbine housing that fits. Or sell that manifold and gate to a 1g guy, then buy a plain...
  18. Pilot Bearing on Automatic Transmission?

    Part number, md756766
  19. Pilot Bearing on Automatic Transmission?

    What year and car? I can give you a part number.It is called Crankshaft, Bushing in CAPS.
  20. Pilot Bearing on Automatic Transmission?

    There is an extra busing in the crank, if that is what you are talking about.
  21. DIY Tubular turbo exhaust manifold

    You want sch10 stainless. It is cheap enough to practice on, if you want a manifold do it right.
  22. Running Rich and Cutting out Under WOT

    Get yourself a 2g mas and some 550 injectors.
  23. Pistons Rubbing Middle of Cylinders

    Think about the angle of the rods, top top dead center the rods are all straight up and down. Half way through the stroke all the rods are at an angle. This is why people talk about rod ratio and engine wear.A torque plate has nothing to do with this.If you don't trust your machinist...
  24. Cams for a 2.3

    You do know your going to need bigger springs for these cams. If 450 is steep, wait till you spend the 399 dollars on dual springs.If your on a budget I would say go with some used fp2 cams since you can drop them in on stock springs.
  25. Oil pump timing is off?

    Line the crank up, then look at the cams. Are they timed properly.
  26. Tips for de-greasing engine block and prepping it to be painted.

    Your getting "Performance shops" mixed up with machine shops.Machine shops don't tune, they don't install mods, they don't wash cars, and they don't change oil.They work on engines only, outside of the car.Saying you wouldn't let a machine shop check the air in your tires sounds...
  27. DIY Tubular turbo exhaust manifold

    Buying from burns to build your first manifold is a waste of time and money. He would probably be out 500+ in materials alone.Buy some schedule 10 1.5 inch pipe fittings and a 1/2 inch head flange and turbo flange.You should only be out about 125 dollars.
  28. Shop F'd UP

    You should give him major props for replacing another motor on his own dime.Bottom line is this, he is doing you a big favor by replacing something that was taken out by a freak accident.
  29. How do you get a PTE exhaust housing off ?

    Yeah right, HPS is a coating shop not a turbo shop.You just need a bigger hammer, try it out and you will get it off.
  30. Anyone know if this is a stroker crank 2.3 PICS

    My 2.0 crank had an 88 on the side somewhere, I am not sure the the stroker crank had a mark or not.Eagles droped right in on my motor, with no grinding anywhere.
  31. 1g Head w/stroker

    You will be fine with a 2g head, the factory intake manifold isn't big enough for a stroker, but a JMfab or magnus intake should work well.
  32. 1g Head w/stroker

    If you have a 1g head I would run with it, if not keep your 2g head and use some of the money on a 2g SMIM. The factory intake seems a little small for a stroker, but the head is fine and has been proven to make good power on all different types of motors.
  33. Build me a shortblock

    I would go with eagle and wiseco's with a factory crankshaft. If your going to do a lot of street driving use some oversized factory pistons on stock rods.
  34. Best Ported Cylinder Head (700+whp)

    Lets see some pics of your engine bay and dyno.
  35. Custom header to run evo-style twin scroll turbos

    So what your saying is you want a 20g turbo? Really that turbo is small enough where the twin scroll isn't going to make or break you.20g's have gone much faster than low 12's too.A 20g will bolt on and work much better than anything you can come up with at a similar price.
  36. Custom Driveshaft

    The engine rocks front to back, unlike the trucks your talking about. The transfer case is changing angle on the entire drive shaft when the engine rocks under power.It is much easier making a drivshaft work in a normal inline configuration.CV joints in lifted trucks are always a big...
  37. AEM Ems -- Speed Density

    Less restriction in the intake pipe before the turbo.You can run a TIAL bov.I wanted to be able to log boost and charge air temp.Cleaner looking piping without a hotwire or factory mas.Allows for bigger air filters.
  38. AEM Ems -- Speed Density

    Speed density works well on a DSM.If your using an AEM small changes in VE can be handled with o2 feedback. If you want a highly modified car to drive like stock it is going to have to be well tuned, regardless if it is maf based or speed density.I would call bullshit on the carbon...
  39. what metal is better?304 steel or. . .

    16 Gauge is good for a 321 header. If your making something on a budget that is easy to weld cast shc 10 304 weld els are a good choice.
  40. STD vs. Big Shaft Turbonetics Turbo

    Personally I would rather see you with a 50 trim or 60 trim, the 57 trim is not a great compressor wheel.Make sure whatever turbo you get has a upgraded thrust bearing that bolts down. Forced performance uses these, so does AGP on their hand built units.
  41. Got dnp manifold bent???

    There needs to be a slight dent for the pipe, but it looks like they messed up and just shipped out a flawed part.I would get another manifold shipped out.
  42. what metal is better?304 steel or. . .

    Uhh no factory exhuast is going to be bare mild steel. It has a layer of aluminuzed atleast.Rust is iron oxide, 304 or 321 stainless pipes do not rust in this manner.
  43. AEM Ems -- Speed Density

    On a mas system you know exactly how much air the engine is taking in, with speed density the amount of fuel injected is caluclated from air temp, pressure and the VE of your engine.I don't know anyone who owns an AEM running speed density without a wideband.
  44. Why not to spray MLS headgaskets: Discuss

    I could have sworn I read a TSB from dodge that actually went through the process of finishing the block surface smoother and spraying the headgasket for a better seal. When neons first came out they were hurting headgaskets left and right, and the asnwer was a smoother finish on the parts and...
  45. New cast exhaust manifold option.... Alot of potential

    It looks like it is made to work with the stock turbo flange.If you want a good divided t4 manifold that is cast buy the ongreen hks replica.It is fully divided and the t4 hotsides are more available.
  46. Buyer Beware! JB Weld!

    Just use a thread insert and call it a day.A Keysert or timesert would work well.
  47. Oil on the Timing Belt

    The seals topline uses are probably not even made by topline, usually they are just metric seals. I would get it apart and find out exaclty what the cause is.
  48. tps sensor leaking air??? has any one ever heard of this??

    You probably need a new shaft seal, atleast that is how a stock throttle body starts leaking there.
  49. Head Removed. Bad Head Gasket. Pics Inside

    If you drop the pan and pull number one I bet part of the piston is gone, is the cumbustion chamber messed up on #1, and is there any damage to the turbo?
  50. Head Removed. Bad Head Gasket. Pics Inside

    Since your on the west coast you can probably find a pretty decent used japanese engine for under 900. That would end up making your 600 dollar car a 1500 dollar car, still not that bad.We have been getting engines with turbos and intake manifolds recently. One of them even came with 510cc...
