I had a similar problem. It was only during a cold start in the winter. Once I turned the ignition on the pump light would flicker and would continue to flicker during the start. It was bad enough to the point that the car would not start because it would flood my motor with meth and water...

You should start with a brand new OEM pivot ball. Put the bell housing back on and look at the position of the fork. It should be at least perpendicular to the housing. If it is angled away from the rod/slave you will need a shim. From what I have read, extending the rod is not the best way to...

Problem solved, boiled down to a combination of very cold weather causing my plugs to foul. I run BR7ES - probably not the best choice for a -20 winter start. Going to switch to a step warmer for the winter season from now on.After replacing my CAS and PTU my P0301 code has seemingly...

I am having difficulty diagnosing a no start issue.A bit of background: Had a P0301 random misfire code pop up a few times before . I just cleared it and it intermittently popped back up but only on a cold start when the weather got colder (-20 Celsius). The code only seemed to come back up...

I have a very similar set up to you and I had the exact same problem. First clutch install the pedal engaged an inch from the floor. Had to pull the trans and put in a washer behind the pivot ball. I also thought this was strange considering my fork, ball, flywheel, disk, and pressure plate were...

I have recently been experiencing a confusing problem. I have set my SD tune numerous times without any issues. Recently I just changed my injectors to a set of FIC 1100 hi z's and it ran great for a month. When I am trying to set my initial idle and cruise tune now I have been experiencing...

Contact Todd at TCE Brakes. TCE Performance Products I have his 2g front kit and could not be happier. Last I recalled he also does carry the wilwood kit for our cars.

I live in Edmonton Canada... Look it up on a map, its pretty far north. I have used heavy shockproof in my t-case and diff for 3 years now and I have changed the fluid twice. I dont put too many miles on the car but I have driven it every winter where it has seen -40 C for weeks at a time. My...

I live in Edmonton and I have ran shock proof heavy for 2 winters now in both my transfer case and rear diff. I have yet to have a leak. Considering we had a few weeks in the -35 or colder range all the seals seemed to have held up. I think however I will be switching to the light version. I...

Try adjusting your TPS. This could be the culprit.TPS AdjustmentI kind of had the same problem. Also while you are at it, check the tension of the throttle cable, it could have too much slack to it.

Check out Alsa Corp | The World's Most Exotic Paints and FinishesThey have some pretty cool paint options.

I have always been a fan of the Lexus IS 350 pearl white. If I was ever to repaint my car it would be in that color. I prefer it over say an Escalade white that has too much of a creamy tint to it.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll piece this set up together and let you know how it turns out. This will also make the UICP fabrication much easier I think.

I'm pretty sure its an EVO III. It has no provision for an EGR, no port for the top for the MDP sensor and 2 extra nipples on the driver side. I can take a picture to make sure if you think it isn't.That was the answer I was looking for, if it wont make any difference then I will just make...

I suppose the other question is, can an EVO III manifold be ported to 70mm?This is the TB I have now:57mm 2G Turbo Eclipse Throttle Body | eBayThis would be the 1G version:63mm Throttle Body 1G DSM Eclipse/Talon | eBaySo the difference between the 2 is ~5mm. I could also...

I think its a 70mm. But with the bored out 2g TB I have now, would switching to a 1G be worth it at all? I was just thinking I could kill a few things at once by swapping both my UICP & TB at once while making the SD switch.

I am in the process of cleaning up my engine bay. I have a pretty 'rigged' set up or my GM MAF and I am wanting to switch to a SD setup. I am wanting some suggestions of the best route to go with this as I am a little unsure. I have a few issues as well that I would like to address. This will...

I would go with a ACT 2600 and a south bend kevlar disk. There are a few threads about this setup and Twicks69 highly recommends it Probably one of the best street setups out there. I previously ran a ACT organic disk and when compared to the kevlar there is a huge difference. It will hold...

I have the same kit paired to my 16g. I had to ditch the VSRF pipe that came with the kit. The flange is pretty thin around the pipe and i could never get it to seal up properly. You need to put the pipe on with the turbo before you bolt it up to the exhaust manifold. The bolts are next to...

Same thing happened to me. There are a few things to check. First make sure your maf is actually plugged in and there are no loose wires. For me it was simple the wire on pin 90 on my ECU was worn down and basically had an intermittent contact. All I had to do is cut, solder and heat shrink the...

I would get a 2600 just in case you ever decide to throw down extra power. its always better to over build when you decide 400 hp snit enough. Also I think i would stick with a ACT streetlight wheel over my fidianza. It required a bit less to rev to get it going from 1st. And use a mitsu TOB...

I have run both back to back, and I can easily say the southbend kevlar is the way to go. I found that it actually engages a bit better, less chatter and a more positive engagement than my ACT organic disk. Its easily handled everything my 68HTA has thrown at it. You wont regret it.

So this is my first post and its more so a bit of clarification. I have a set of PTE 880s and im just doing the inital setup. I noticed on the forums there is some conflicting information regarding the deadtime for these injectors. On the wiki it states 420 and on jeffgst it lists as 330. When...

Well I finally tore down the trans. I looked at the pivot ball and the wear was pretty much nil, but the fork was definitely not the same angle as the new one. It almost looked bent. I then added one thin 1mm washer to the ball and reassembled everything. I also replaced the slave and bled the...

Well I ordered a new slave and I will try that first. I have a funny feeling that it might help but will not solve my issues. Its funny because the guy that did the clutch said both the pivot and fork looked good. Guess that is not the case. From Tim's suggestion I am going to stick with the...

Thanks for the suggestions Tim, I really appreciate it, this clutch swap is turning out to be a disaster. I should probably move this to another forum but this is sort of related I guess. I just checked my master and it doesn't look like it is leaking but I pulled the boot on my slave and it...

Thanks for the suggestion Tim. Never really thought about it with respects to the longevity. But I have done the install and now I have to tear it apart again. I can barely get it into first and the pedal is engaging right off the floor and my master cylinder adjustments are done correctly. I...

Does anyone have any more feedback on this setup? I have an ACT 2600 pp, unsprung ACT disk, and a sprung southbend kevlar disk infront of me right now. Im stil very unsure as to which way to go on this one and I will be doing my clutch in the next few weeks. I had originally bought the ACT disk...

I have the exact same problem as we speak. At idle my WB reads 16.5-17.0 and at a cruise it sits right at 14.8. My LTFT are at 0. The reason for this is just took apart my downpipe and the gasket at the end was shot and the one off my 02 housing is new. So im assuming that its drawing air in...

So then which line goes where? The one that is capped off the water pipe i assume is the feed and goes to the front of the turbo? But then where does the return go? Its not the one that is looped back to the thermostat housing is it?As far as the oil feed i have the kit for both the OFH and...

Im kind of at a loss as to which way i should go on this. I have a fpT28 on the car right now with no water lines (how i originally got the car). I have a brand spanking new FP 68HTA that is going on this weekend. I have chosen to run the oil from the head, but its the water lines I'm lost on...

You should check out the OZ ultraleggera's or Enkei RPF1s they are even lighter than the ones you listed. I have the 18" OZ's on my car, mated with a set of 245 40 yoko s-drive rubber and couldn't be happier. I switched from a set of 19 ADR sterlings and probably saved 10 lbs of weight on each...

I just got my 68hta as well. Im looking at a similar set up as you. I decided after a bit of deliberation to go with a set of fp1x cams. They will be going in as soon as the snow melts here. You might want to consider them as well, you just need upgraded springs to run them.

I have used both. I first tried the ksports, but after one Canadian winter one of rears and one of the fronts blew up. The seals went with less than 4k (on for less than 6 months) on them, needless to say i wasn't impressed. I did send them back and they were replaced under warranty but at my...

yes, fsl is the one in the picture.

the default is the FSL, you can go with a BSL or a 6n, but then you can run into clearance issues. from the spacing with the 17s you might be able to get away with the 6n if you were set on 6 pots. But when i spoke with todd he told me that the pad sise is the same and there really isnt much to...

i only have the pics from my profile with my old 19s that i got rid of. you can get an idea of what the kit looks like. But as far as spacing between the caliper and the inside of the rim itself, there is about a cm gap. as far as the kit itself, TCE does a great job of getting the fitment down...

I have the TCE FSL Brake kit and it clears my 17 stock gsx rims with no problems. 13 inch rotors and a 4 pot wilwood caliper.

For me the TPS was not adjusted properly. so when i started it it would be fine, but as soon as i touched the pedal while in gear it would violently jerk forward and buck. my guess is that the TPS was telling it that i hammered on the pedal instead of just lightly pressing it to accellerate. I...

Same thing happened to me, it turned out that my TPS was on its way out. I had to get a new one and go through the adjustment steps with a multimeter.

I live in canada and ive run both 10w30 and 5w30 in the winter. Basically it boils down to this for me. 5w30 will let you start your car to about -35 maybe colder (celcius), or at least for me. Last winter I didnt think it would be a big deal not to change my oil from 10 to 5 and it actually...

thanks guys, thats what i did, i brought the other bolt in and matched it up. Its still very strange that it happened in the first place. It has been 2 years since the suspension in the back was replaced and its a good thing that i wasn't driving very fast.

How would an unsprung organic disk do compared to the puck style? Twicks69 was always suggesting a act2600 with the sprung southbend kevlar full disk as the best single disk street setup. I wonder if they make the kevlar disk that is unsprung for our cars?

So I was driving into my crescent today and my rear drivers side smashed to the ground. Its night time so I couldn't see what happened, but i went home and grabbed a light saw that the tire was jammed up in to the wheel well. At first i thought the shock went through the tower from the sound it...

How bout comparing it to a HX35? I have a fpT28 right now and I have pretty much hit the limit for what this turbo can put down on my built 2.0L. I was pretty much sold on a HX35 for my goal to hit 450 HP but with this new fp 68HTA I'm kind of at a loss as to which way to go. From what I've read...

Here are some pics of what they look like on my car. The backs are pretty much flush, the fronts stick out a little bit, maybe a 1/3 of an inch. I had to seriously roll the rear fenders to make sure i don't rub. The only other set I was considering is the enkei RPF1s. I was limited in my...

The offset for those rims was 35+. I needed them to stick out a bit more to clear my front brakes. When i get home today ill take a few pics, but the tires basically are pretty much flush with the sides of the fenders. Also since they are an 8 inch rim the 245s are pretty much the widest tire...

These are the rims I am currently running on my car.O.Z. Ultraleggera Black PaintedThey are probably the "cheapest" & lightest combo that I was able to find for our cars for an 18 inch rim. The only thing ligher are volks and they would be considerably more pricey. Each rim weighs in...

yeah i looked through all my connections and there doesn't seem to be anything exposed. once i replaced the fuse the battery light and the e-brake light went off. Every thing seems fine now. but my concern is what actually caused it and why the alternator and brake light were triggered when the...

So I'm a little baffled as to what this could be...As i was driving i noticed my radio cut off and on as I came home. Then i went to go for another drive and noticed my battery and brake dash lights were on. So I promptly turned around and came back home. I checked everything for...
