After a little planning and a few prototypes, they are finally on! Strangely I did run into the weird stepped hub dilemma. I know it's a reman hub, but so is the other one. That did stop me dead in my tracks, no wonder the big boys avoid it like the plague. :DI have not had the chance to...
It seems the switch that tells the alarm that the hood is open is faulty. I can't find the replacement in CAPS. Could someone please give me the part number?
My current turbo is not water cooled. In the process of the install, I ruined the coolant return plug. I am now thinking of going back to water cooled but I am not sure where I can plumb the return line to... that isn't the OEM location.
This is the second 255 to give me trouble. The first would barely allow me to idle. The second one was fine but has always been a little loud. Now it intermittantly refuses to keep up the pressure that it should.I thought they fixed their issues. Each pump was bought several months apart...
I have all the parts to add the 2Ga GFX to my car, except for most of the clips and obviously the mounting holes.I could swear that I caught a glimpse of some body kit/GFX adhesive on a TV car show. I think it was in the same container as silacone.Am I making this up or does such a...
The car had it's 60K service and is now at 100K.The damn thing has developed a leak from the pulley side of the engine. It isn't instantaneous but turns into a constant drip, drip when the car is fully warmed up.I think it's coming from the filter housing, but I can't be sure. I can't...
I'm thinking about changing setups, but I'm not sure if I will still have to run with a dented water pipe. I also want to get away from internal WG's so I hope that this can kill two birds with one stone.Are there less interference issues with these manifolds?
I've had my car lowered for quite some time now. Unfortunitely, the bolt holes on the front upper a-arms have been worn to make the suspension REALLY sloppy.I see that there are now balljoint camber adjustments. Is anyone using these?
Well, I quit my nice cushy job a few weeks ago. Everything should have gone smoothly, but getting into the new one is a PITA.Here I sit, waiting for the union to call me back to I can go down there and sign up.I have not been without some sort of job since I was 16. 10 years later...
I am trying to add a coolant temp gauge. I guess the OEM sender is a different thread type, it doesn't like the new sender.Is there another place I can thread it into? I would really like to avoid tapping the filler housing, but will do if need be.
I know with a keydiver chip us 2G guys can see knock, but how accurate is it?I found this on a GN site. It looks to be a stand alone knock sensor. If hooks up to the existing sensor in a GM vehicle, but that should stop us from buying one and mounting it to the block. Does anyone know if...
There is another tread of mine with the whole issue here but this is specificly for the pump.Where the pump inserts into the assembly; there is a cap, o-ring, and then a spacer. When I put the pump in, the spacer would wiggle around. I didn't think too much of it, but now I think that it...
I just installed a 255HP and the full throttle FPR. Everything seemed fine. I set the FP with the vacuum line off, but found it to hesitate and backfire when I free reved it. I took it for a spin and the damn fuel pressure doesn't rise with boost!I have gone as far as connecting the FRP...
Upon a routine inspection of the engine the other day, I found that the top bolt was just hangin' out. The bracket has also popped out of the lower bolt too.What's the deal? Is this something I should look for from now on? The other bolts look fine, but I am a little irked that this...
I have 2 boost settings; 18 and 25 psi. The low setting is fine, it hits the target and stays there. The high setting is another story. Under WOT, it pretty much makes it to roughly 22-23 psi then bounces around from 20 to 25 psi. I can hear the BOV going nuts while it does this.The car...
A question was brought up between the effectiveness between drum and disc brakes.We all know that disc brakes have become the norm in stopping a car, but do they have any cons compared to a drum brake?There is an application that I know of that uses both styles and it turns out that...
I really hope this thread can help you guys. I found it on another site and thought it could save myself and few others the headache of constantly explaining this.Your're making the road more dangerous than it already is by adding a HID kit to your car. so please do HID the right way by...
The rotors I would like to use are for a 4.75" lug pattern. Obviously ours are 4.5", so I need to drill a different set of holes.I would like to know of, if any pitfalls of doing this.
I would like to do some experimenting. Where can I get my hands on some different spring rates?I know the Flex kit uses standard coil springs, but the SS springs have a different overall diameters top and bottom.Where can I get a hold of some different springs?
In NJ they check for codes and a few other things during inspection. On the DSMLink they mention something about "DSMLink mode" I assume that is only when you are making changes to the settings.I figure since you can use a logger with it installed, the inspection check should be ok...
Will a passenger side front axle from an AWD M5 2G work in a FWD M5 2G?I snapped the damn thing pulling out of the driveway this morning. I have a line on a local one.
How long does it take for the LTFT's to be "recognized" within the computer? What are the odds of the ECU not changing them?Also with my setup (SBR-G50, 650's and so on) I have to set the AFC to +20 on the lower RPM's in order to get the damn car to idle and run right. I have never had that...
I don't know WTF is going on. This all seemed to start when I put the new fuel filter on (with the AN line upgrade).First the FP fuse blew... replaced it.. hasn't done it since.The car idles like crap and it doesn't want to accelerate. My LTFT are 0.. and they shouldn't be. I haven't...
This seems to be a more and more common occurance with my car now. Every time I disconnect the MAF and the battery my car goes to hell in a hand basket.I don't know if this is tied into the fact that plugs 1 and 4 were covered in oil when I changed them the other day.It seems when I...
I replaced my fuel filter and did the fuel line upgrade while I was at it. When I was priming the fuel system (disconnected the starter and "started" the car) The Hz on the AFC were bouncing around.. but I thought nothing of it.I didn't get the chance to run the car last night because it...
My new goodies include: SBR-G50, and a FMIC (still using the 190 FP & 550 injectors)I brought the settings on the AFC up so that it is running really rich and logged a few runs. The timing would fall flat and basicly stay there throughout the run. I finally hooked my WB up and I was...
I know that completely changing the colour of a car can be a hassle. Wether it be spraying the jams, engine bay that sort of thing.. but I want to know about registration/insurance. The car is Pewter Blue Pearl (factory) at the moment. The car needs a little body work and the front clip is...
Well, that was fun.It seems the stock WG is set to ~18 PSI, can someone confirm this? I have a slight boost leak around the BOV, which I need to fix. I blew apart my leak checker at 10 PSI last night... I have to make a new one.The car seems VERY well mannered. Even slow (not tuned...
I recently upgraded the suspension: Tein SS, front Ingals camber kit, poly bushings, front wheel bearings, and a reman passenger side axle.Shortly after the install I found the reman axle was puking grease all over the place. I had a look and the outer boot had a slit in it. I then...
Did you find that the rear shocks were a little lose? The OEM shocks fit on the pin snugly.. my SS's have a little slop in them.Anyone else notice/have this problem?
I decided to take on the task of installing: Prothane bushings, TEIN SS, and RDSM swaybars and Ingals camber gizmo's.Now. The bushings are a pain, but tolerable. The front sway bar was interesting, but still doable. BUT here is the list of parts that I had to replace to get said items...
My Tein SS's are sitting on my doorstep, the Prothane bushings are in my trunk and the shop press will arrive tomorrow.The car will be down for a little bit, don't you think? I plan on a 1.5" drop, I just have to pick up the front camber kit at some point.I would like opinions on...
Do these exist? I refuse to have the stupid gap on my car. I will settle for a single projector version, but dual would be nice. I can't find them anywhere.
I finally got around to getting some actual numbers for my Talon. I tuned last fall with the LM-1 and was very happy with the results, in fact they were too good.. the car had little to no traction. I went to a guy that I really though knew his shit... certified in all sorts of stand alone...
