    420A 420a turbo, megasquirt Dyno results

    It's very easy to crack the ring lands on the stock pistons. A compression test would be a good idea. It's was very apparent when my first motor let go. It ran fine, but smoked like hell if you gave it any boost.

    420A Wrapping headers for heat reduction

    Make sure to use the silicon spray to coat the wrap. If you don't it will tend to frey anytime you touch it or rub against it working on the car.

    Silvr's boosted 420a

    Its challenging for sure. Its even harder to look ahead at where you want to go when the headlights aren't lighting up that area. The lot has a few lights, but could use a few more. I'll be pulling the pan soon and probably the rod caps just to check on the bearings, but the reality is, this has...

    The long overdue update. The 2020 season was pretty much a bust for me. Between events being cancelled and my schedule, I was only able to make it out to 1 more event late in the summer. I am sitting in grid and start the car to let it warm back up to prepare for my first run.. and the...

    420A Radiator Options

    I still run a factory style rad and have no cooling issues. A good set of fans is key. Don't overthink it, if the factory radiator was working fine before. Just put another one in it. No one offers an all aluminum radiation for the 420a that I know of.

    420A Coolant leak from the back of the motor on the drivers side

    The heater hoses are back there. There is no throttle body coolant circuit. Pull the intake off and you should be able to see what's going on.

    2G Who tunes Hahn turbo set up on 420a? NJ

    I'm sure you can find someone to tune it if you have the software for that unit. It should be pretty straight forward for a tuner.

    2G Who tunes Hahn turbo set up on 420a? NJ

    What is your fuel setup like? Hahn use to sell the portfueler kit. It was an additional 4 injections that added the extra fuel. Do you have that installed? Are you using a FMU instead?The factory ECU can not be tuned.

    I can see timing marks in the first image. Looks like that are either very dirty or almost rubbed off

    2G drag rims, offset?

    A higher offset pushes the wheel closer to the body. A +27 offset will have the wheel poking out some. Depending on the tire size you want to run, you may have some rubbing on the fenders. I don't see those wheel tucking up in the fenders.

    No, it will be fine. I would not be concerned one bit.

    2G Compression Numbers

    You need to run the compression test when the motor is hot. If that cylinder is still lower than the others. You can add a tiny amount of oil to the cylinder to see if the numbers go up. That would indicate worn rings. It's not something I would be overly concerned with. I do a compression check...

    Autocross Build 1996 TSi AWD - Restore/Autocross

    @llxkevinxll did you plot boost pressure vs rpm to compare the turbo spool on E85 vs 93? You made a good amount of torque more on E even during spool up. Is this because the car make boost quicker, or that your running more timing during spool?

    It's a small lot, but they make the best of it. I was getting to about 48mph before the first slalom, and after the tight 180 coming back up the hill I was at about 53. Very fast for the lot size.

    new jack stands

    I've been happy with my HF aluminum jack, but I never felt good about buying their jack stands. All of my stands came from Northern tool. I paid more for the them, but I felt the quality was better and they have a key that you can insert to lock the stand in place. So even if you hit the lever...

    420A Crank pulley removal

    A steering wheel puller is what you need. The bolts are M6 if I remember correctly. And you need really long ones. I have some that are about 75mm, they are hard to find local. If you have a Fastenal local, they will sell threaded rod you can buy and just cut it to length.

    Luck must be on my side today! I ended up finding the missing washer. Unfortunately for us 420a people, the outer timing cover is all 1 piece. So either you cut it like I did, or you never access your cam gears without taking everything apart. It's been like that for about 13 years with no...

    420A '95 fmu install

    Does he have a FMU or a SFMU? The FMU can only add fuel pressure on top of what the fuel regulator is set at. The SFMU can also adjust base fuel pressure.

    Both fenders are now rolled. The cheap tool worked out great. I read a few different comments about rolling the rear fenders in these cars before I started. Some said you can do, others said it was impossible even with the tool. I bet most of the difficulty is because of how in the way the upper...

    Compressor update: I started cleaning the tank up and found a small hole in the bottom. I decided that the best option was to reuse my old 60 gal tank since it was still good. I cut the mounting plate off of the busted tank, cleaned it up and welded it to the old tank mounting plate. Tried to...

    2G Audio Volume

    Most oem amplifiers don't use RCAs, I always see them with just 1 or 2 plugs. You may be able to find a pinout and make that work, but an aftermarket unit will be easier to hook up and give you way more adjustability to tune the sound.

    2G Audio Volume

    It may be possible to do this with the factory amp, but it's probably easier to just go aftermarket. Years ago when everything had an aux port, you would just have an aux to rca cable that went straight to the amp inputs. But now with all of these phones removing the aux, you may find it more...

    Just been playing around with the car some over the last week. Not much else to do, most of the races I attend are tighter slower tracks and I end up spending a lot of time around the 2- 4k rpm range fighting to keep the boost up. I swapped between the E316g and 14b, tested 7cm and the 6cm...

    Solomon's 2GNT Build ('98 RS)

    What type of disc is that clutch? If it's just an organic disc, they don't really have a break in period. You can beat on them from the beginning. The only disc that really requires a break in, is a kevlar disc, you have to wear the fuzz off or you can glaze the disc

    @biglady112 what intake temps are you seeing with that setup? Is the IAT sensor in the charge pipe?

    NV-T350, is 2 quarts enough?

    It takes a little over 2. You fill it until it runs out of the fill hole. You should be able to check and see how close it is with your finger. If it's right there at the edge you should be fine.

    420A 420a turbo. what ratio should my fmu be set and idle fuel pressure for 315cc injectors

    Diyautotune sells MS kits. You need to do a lot of research before just buying parts for this car. Buying a MS unit is not a plug and play kind of thing. It will have to be configured for your application, and you will have to wire it into your existing harness. Once all that happens the car...

    420A Tuning a stock 420a question.

    You can't tune the stock ECU. With just a set of cams, you probably won't have to make any changes anyways. What are your long term plans for the car?A wideband 02 sensor would be a good investment. That will tell you if you need to add additional fueling after the cams.

    420A 420a turbo. what ratio should my fmu be set and idle fuel pressure for 315cc injectors

    As @Canadian_CD9A said, you run larger injectors you lower base fuel pressure. I have played that game before, it did work ok for a budget fuel system. But it is far from the best solution. You also won't be using a FMU because that can only raise fuel pressure. You would need the SFMU which...

    Turbo ID&Inspection

    1- Put some Teflon tape on the bolts and leave them in. Don't weld up the holes.2- This was for a boost reference, most likely the wastegate. You can plug it up or use it if you would like. A press fit Barb should have gone there.3- The cracks will be ok for now. But they won't get better.
