I am not sure on the Idle surge, but if I were you I would bleed the clutch system right. Which you have to have a tube that goes from the bleeder valve go into a cup or something that has clean clutch fluid in it otherwise it can suck up air this way it sucks in fluid. If you are still having...
All I can say is you WILL be addicted. My friends like the sound and so do I but they havnt driven it and felt the boost at thier finger tips. There really isnt anything to compare it too. Maybe when you get on an airplane and the take off when the pilot gives it throttle its kinda like that...
Did i read right? you said yours is going to about 10-12 psi on the stock gauge? I dont know if i read that right but anyway on my stock gauge i can peg it out pretty quickly. Havnt even raised the boost just pulled the restricter. Anyone else peg the stocker on stock boost?
You said it would be mostly a streetcar. So if he isnt wanting the cutout you might wanna check out how much an exhuast shop will cost just to do something up to the muffler instead of paying 500$ for a catback ya know. Goodluck, im interested in seeing how this turns out.
Wow thats an intense video. Even if you dont believe any of it, it would bring up quite a bit of questions about some of the info they wont give out to people.
Wow seriously you guys lighten up a bit. No one seems to remember how to laugh anymore lol sounds funny to me. Sounds like everyone here owns a honda now and gets massively butt hurt anytime its possible mentioned in a bad way. Get real this is a car website if you havnt heard people talk shit...
Yeah thats the only thing I can figure unless maybe its burnt up fuel from it running so rich but I dont think thats what happens. So I dont know. Anyone else got any ideas im curious. :confused:
I understand what people are saying when they say you broke the law and you got caught so pay the price. But when they say you got caught dont fight it and just take whatever they give you its kinda stupid. If you can get in less trouble then you are stupid for not trying. I Know everyone on...
I kinda had the same problem, pulled my exhaust mani and the whole inside of it and the turbo were completely white. Running lean right. Well thats really odd to me because I know for a fact im running PIG ASS rich somehow. If you sit behind me at a light it smells like a gas station. I dont...
I would definetly say its from not bleeding it the right way. If you dont bleed your clutch right it will feel like crap. I dont know where the link is but what you have to do is put a little tube on the bleed nipple thing and put it into clean clutch fluid. So when you go to close it, it will...
Well if your talking about the bushings that go in the car, I liked them a lot. My old rubber ones were letting the shifter base move about a half an inch up and down when I moved the shifter around. Put the metal ones in and it doesn't move AT ALL. I also had a pretty nasty grind that would...
His damn Oil pan came off, never burned any oil. He had no oil cause the freakin pan came off haha. Sorry to hear that man, hope you get that worked out.
Dont know if you checked, but its happened to me. Is the window lock on? haha. Thought my window motor went out and i had just accidentally pressed the window lock on it. :coy: If not hope you figure it out before it rains.
What about here in California where we only have 91 but would like to have something around 93 again just for daily driving. Would like a gallon of 110 unleaded do the trick mixed with a tank of 91? Just curious.
Thanks for all your time and information guys. I have learned a ton from this. I should have the exhaust leaks fixed by next week and my car will be legal again haha. Anyway when I get it all sorted out and the problems fixed ill post up what it was and all that stuff. Thanks again. :thumb:
Just like most of the others I got mine off with a breaker bar and pb blaster. I would highly reccomend mechanics gloves when working with exhaust lol. My hands got so beat up and cut up it wasn't funny. Good luck.
Don't mean to jack the thread here but, I was also wondering if you guys could help me kinda figure out whats going wrong with my car. I have been getting pretty bad gas mileage (16mpg) so I'm pretty certain I'm running rich. I know I have an exhaust leak because I have two broken studs and the...
Ok, funny thing saw your thread yesterday downloaded the vid had no idea what it was. But today on my way to work my car starts making this horrible noise. Sounds like its coming from the timing area just like yours. Kinda hard to hear it clearly on your vid, but sounds kinda similar so its...
Thanks Ill give that a try. But what about the fuel filter? How often are you supposed to change those? And, could an exhaust leak cause gas mileage problems? Thanks.
Ok, just filled up my tank the other day and found out I'm getting 16mpg. I shift at 4400-4500 rpms. I do mash the pedal sometimes, but not enough to make my mileage THAT bad. I changed my plugs (gapped right), plug wires, and got a K&N filter about 2 months ago. I'm not getting a check engine...
Are you sure you have the right sized axles? Unless you are just trying to get yours back in lol. When I was replacing mine, I went through 3 sets of axles before just getting them rebuilt. Napa tried to help me out, but all the auto part stores books are messed up for our axles haha.
Hey don't mean to jack your thread just have a question about boost leak testing that might help you too. I have tried to do a boost leak test, but I have no leaks even when I could swear I do. I put the the tester on the turbo real tight, put 20psi of air in and nothing. Now, I remember last...
To me that looks plain horrible and totally changes my mind on the looks of the STIs. I like the current ones but if thats what they will look like then I definitely wouldn't buy one.....not that I would ever be able to HAHAHA. :sosad:
Wow what a day huh? haha. Sounds like it was pretty scary. Hope you get everything straightened out. Maybe now you can clean up the engine bay a little by getting a non cruise control cable? Anyway good luck. :thumb:
I heard about someting in the engine bay on the firewall that you plug something in and you can drain it out through the line up there. Sorry to be so vauge I cant rememeber where i heard that. I think it was on that website where you can click on a part and it told you about stuff. Again sorry...
Yep wd-40 worked great for me lol. Both my doors squeaked horribly loud sprayed the all the hinge type things down with wd 40 a couple times and they haven't done it since, which has been like 4 months at least.
Could you do this for more then a few days, maybe say like a year or so? What type of metal bolt should you get? And should you put something else on the bolt to keep it from back out or leaking or anything along those lines? I really need some answers here lol. Thanks.
From what I have read on people using seafoam they find exhaust leaks they didn't know they had. I have a crack on the bottom of my manifold as well, so maybe there is one down there too.Edit: You have a 2g mani so its probably not cracked.
Pull up the seat belts and on the tag you see a :dsm: . On the front of the car is a :talon: and then on the side there is a :laser: . Haha someone couldn't make up their mind on just one symbol lol.
Thanks for your help. They arnt smoking or rubbing bad enough to smell or anything. I am thinking about just rebuilding the fronts or maybe all of them I don't know. I'm not even sure how much a rebuild kit would be or what I would need can someone tell me what I might need or where to get it...
They are definitely touching. :notgood: I tried to spin the rotor with the e brake off on the back ones and I could hear the rotor and pads rubbing, same with the front brakes.
I think it was buschurs old car, maybe he still has it. But the engine was turned so that the cam gears were facing the radiator and it was rwd. But other then that I don't know.
I tried searching but couldn't find the answer I wanted so bare with me here. Ok, my brakes have been making a nasty noise lately. Kinda like a grinding noise and the at low speeds an annoying squeaking noise. Anyway, I pulled my tires off today to take a look, and on all four wheels the brake...
I don't know what piston slap sounds like, but maybe your manifold is cracked or leaking. I have a huge crack on my manifold and when the car isn't COMPLETELY WARMED it will make a nasty ass clicking noise whenever I give it some gas. After its all the way warmed it goes away.
Well I don't know about the original poster, but I know what lifter tick is and I do get it. However, the sound I believe he is talking about is the same one that I am talking about, which is definitely NOT lifter tick. The sound comes from a different part of the engine bay and it only does it...
Try not to stress about the trip too much. Ive gone on a few 600 mile one way trips through California in the summer, which means going kinda fast and through desert and everything else and she made it fine. As for stuff breaking when you fix something, I have that curse too. After trying to...
