What if I do a hydro carbon test in my water neck, would that tell me if my HG is going bad?

Hi, a few days ago I noticed that my car started to push coolant into the overflow reservoir, so I did some tests and heres what I found:No oil in coolant No coolant in oil Compression is perfect Cant see any smoke when drivingOnly seems like it's pushing coolant under boost, also...

Was there a difference between each cylinder? Ie 3 were 130 psi and 1 was like 110? How does the car drive?

Checked for boost leaks today and found a leak on my Throttle Body which i already knew i had, but i never had issues with that before FMIC and now i do? Dont understand.

Not yet, but probably should

Just installed my FMIC(SBR Race Core) with an HKS SSQV Recirc, using a 2g Maf. Well everything seemed fine until i went up on the interstate and everytime i step on it enough to start boosting and let go off the gas, the car bucks like fuel cut. I'm quite clueless as to what it could be as it...

I had something similar on my car, knocking until clutch is pressed in. Well since i replaced my clutch with an ACT 2100, the knock went away completely. I used a used 2100 Pressure plate my friend sold me, new street disk, new ACT TOB, new retaining clip and new clutch fork and pivot. Maybe...

Hey there, after i installed front control arm and sway bar bushings my car's been understeering too much, so Ive decided to buy a rear sway bar along with rear suspension bushings. So I have 2 choices Suspension Techniques sway bar or RM sway bar, which in your opinion is better? After some...

Theres gotta be someone that knows..

I bought a used ACT flywheel off my friend that had the 6 bolts in it and 3 pins for the presure plate, but when i sent it to a machine shop to get resurfaced, they misplaced the 3 pins. Would stock pins also work? Or do I have to look for the right pins for the ACT flywheel? Any help and input...

I did a leak test and found a leak at my TB shaft seals, but I would have to buy a used TB in order to fix that because no one sells the seals. On another note I'm running only 35 psi of fuel pressure to help lean my car out a little because it runs way too rich and I stink at tuning AFC's...

That, I dont know. Same plugs that came with the cdar when i bought it. Do you think the gap could make this problem?

Hi, if I just start cruising on the streets at about 2K RPM, my car starts bogging unless I give it more gas. And today I took the car out and punched it, 1st gear felt very weak and in 3rd gear at about 5k RPM car starts bogging. Right now I have at small boost leak on my TB shaft seals and...

Hey guys, yesterday I ripped my stock intake manifold off and I need to clean it up because it's all dirty. Well today I'm gonna take it to work and sandblast it. Is there any special coating to preserve the sandblasting look? Or what should I do?

Since I changed my UICP and cleaned my TB, my car has been running very bad. After I installed the UICP I tried the car on my street and it wasn't boosting at all, but later I found out that my MAF was disconnected. I haven't been driving the car and now it seems like I have another problem...

I bought an Air/fuel gauge by Autometer, but I can't figure out where the 02 sensor wire is..I looked on VFAQ where they explain where it is, but once i checked for resistance on that connector i was getting 2.5 ohms which is too high.. Would it be easier to tap it right into the 02 sensor...

I found the problem.. My MAF was disconnected :sosad: and I found the boost leak too, it was where my intercooler connects with the UICP. Ordered a reducer coupler 1.75 by 2.50 and t-bolt clamps to fix the problem..

Btw the squeking noise is coming from my accesorie pullie. It needs to be replaced.

I know i'm posting kinda late, but my problem was that my ground wire got loose and once i resoldered it again the SAFC-2 started working with no problems. So if your screen is blank, you should recheck your wiring to make sure nothing is lose..Now where are my reputation points? :sneaky:

I got an Autometer short sweep electric oil pressure gauge that I'm installing in my car right now. I have all the wires inside my car but i don't know where to connect them to, can anyone please help?

Why would you want to turbo it? In my opinion just sell your Non Turbo and buy a nice turbo one..

A Boost Leak maybe?

http://www.diamondstarmotorsport.com/elecparts.shtmlIt's $15, I hope thats what you're looking for..

Fixed.. I was dumb enough not to have the screwing nut actually screw in..

There has to be someone that had or knows how to fix this issue..I need help!

Well I just installed an Aeromotive AFPR with SS feed line and a regular rubber return line. Well after having lots of fuel leaking issues out of my return line clamps, I finally started the car with no fuel leaks, but now I can't adjust my pressure it always stays at 30 PSI. No matter how much...

I used some t-bolt clamps for the TB Elbow and some crappy ones for the uicp..

I just changed my UICP and decided to go test the car out even though i was idling at 2k RPMs. Well once I started accelerating my stock boost gauge was at the negative mark the whole time and car was running slow. And when I parked it my RPMs kept jumpring from 2k to 1.5k. Could it be a bad...

Ok, after I drained some oil the car started right up but I still got the Check Engine light on. I think I'll have a friend come over with his laptop and we'll use my technomotive datalogger cable for the diagnostic.

Well, my car is running really rich(255 pump and 550 injectors) and i was checking out my fluids and my oil smelled like fuel and i started getting this squeking noise coming somewhere from the cams, so I decided to change my oil. I ended up overfilling the car with oil, but the car started and...

ok, i resoldered the power and ground wires the right way and connected the battery and everything lit up. So then I resoldered the rest of the wires and connected the battery again and only the buttons light up..what could be causing this?

Well I soldered all the wires into the ECU Harness like the Instruction manual said, and I did it by Karman style. Well after I did everything and the SAFC2 doesnt power up at all, I even took it aprt and checked those little connectors but they are all there. I soldered the red power wire into...

Always use the highest for forced induction cars. I put in 93 in my POS 90 MX-6 and I actually noticed that I got more fuel mileage out of it then 87 OMG

I had the same problem with my Talon before, It just kept turning over but no spark. Later I found that my ECT sensor connector was popped out, I popped it back in and the car started..

Mixing Toluene with Gasoline is true. Here's a link to a complete guide on how to do it.http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/83437.html

Autometer

I need to buy an Oil Pressure Gauge, but I'm not sure which is better and why. The short sweep costs tons less then the full sweep. Why is that?

550cc Injectors/255 Walbro Pump and no fuel tuning..

I'm also from Chicopee, I'd love to meet up with you guys once my DSM is up and running...

Well I just bought a 1990 Talon Tsi AWD with a broken fuel gauge. I tested the sending unit with an ohm meter and it read 72 ohms which is about right, I have about half a tank right now. So what else could be the problem? The gauge itself?

Yea it's running super rich, that's why i'm not registering before I get an AFC and tune it..

Yay the car just started, I found something disconnected right after the timing belt. Thanks for your tips. But I think the car is still running rich..

I was just checking my spark plugs and realised that I have no spark..

I dont have any AFC controller, I will be buying one later, but I need to try to start the car..

Well yesterday I bought a 1990 Tsi AWD and the seller told me that the car was running very rich and if you stall its very hard to start it up. Well my friend took it for a test drive and stalled it, so we had to push it order to get it started. So then we started to head back home and my friend...
