I narrowed down my idle surge to my ISC , for sure (put in an old non-functional ISC at fully closed step, and surge went away completely). I have two questions:1) How can i check the wiring harness to the ISC to make sure it is fully functional? The coils seem to all check out just fine...

I have a problem with severe idle surge that has been occuring the past month or so. It is classic surge from 1200-1500, and sometimes a bit higher at 1500-1800, cycling about once a second. Here is what i have done so far:First i replaced the ISC with a rebuilt one (bad idea?). This was...

I recently finished upgrading my fuel system (walbro 255 HP, AFPR, SAFC-II, Denso 660's). I had Roy (who used to work for RRE) tune my car (using tunerstein or something equivalent) right after these mods, then began to have idle problems.I had idle surge with occasional dying. I checked...

Hey all,I've been away at school and had to register my car for non-op, since i didnt have time to find a way to smog it here in cali...I am running a 50 trim turbo with all the supporting mods. I AM running a cat in a 3 inch exhaust. However, the chrome piping and compressor in my...

hey all... i was just wondering if it was necessary to block off the NC port in the profec type-S using an internal wastegate (com-->NO).thanks

I just replaced my IAC, which fixed my idle issues except for one:when i give my car any boost above 0 PSI and then push in the clutch (allowing the rpms to drop), the idle doesnt catch. RPM's go all the way to zero, and sometimes idle recovers and sometimes it doesnt and the car just dies...

symptoms: car started dying if i dropped in the clutch after boosting (didnt catch at 750+ rpm, just dropped to zero)next, it started idling low, but would correct after about 15 seconds. (600 rpm)now, it idles at 560-630 rpm constantly, and the engine seems rough... i can hear a...

after installing my dejon race frontmount and AGP RS49T, i took my car out for some EASY non boost driving. i wanted to make sure everything was running before i install my fuel mods tomorrow (walbro 255, 660cc densos, AFPR) (i know i should've done these first, but this is how things fell...

I am having trouble finding the 1/8" NPT (27) tap that is needed for the greddy EGT probe. It seems to me that the tap is not 1/8" in diameter/circumfrence... but that this is the thread spacing...?i assume this because i was looking for alternatives on the forums and i heard a 9mm - 1.0mm...

i have 650 injectors from FIC, but have decided not to put them in due to a desire to get densos for peace of mind (and RRE refuses to tune a car with FIC injectors.. haha). My question is this: i have found a couple of good deals on denso 660's with under 10k miles on them...but how wise...

I have had this engine code for about 6 months now, and after reading up on the purpose of the BCS (WARM starts - extra fp), i decided that i'd be patient and just keep clearing the code every time it came up (about once a week). I checked my BCS with a vacuum pump and a v/o meter, and it works...

Hello everybody,I am 90% sure that i'm going to go with the RS49T 50 trim for my turbo upgrade (from t25). I'm going to go internal gating simply because i cannot afford to go external yet. My questions are this, for people who have experience with this turbo: Did you get both the oil...

Via palm'n'stein i'm getting a P1105 (fuel pressure solenoid malfunction) code (although palmnstein is unable to get the DTC, it gave me the code itself). I took off my FPS, applied voltage, and vacuum tested it, and it held 25 inHg no prob. i disconnected the voltage, and it flowed perfectly...

Ok guys, so through a extremely enraging mix up of greases, i used a non-dielectric grease on my spark plug installation. I started the car and it died immediately, not getting spark (duh, arcing was prbobably disgusting due to the conducting grease.) Everything else was 100% by the book, i'm...

I am just about to get my vehicle smogged (i live in CA)...My 3" turboback exhaust has a cat, so i'm not too concerned bout emissions. However, the visual inspection has me worrying a tiny bit, just gonna ask some basic questions:I have an upper IC pipe and greddy type S BOV...

as a decoration for my self built air conditioning system :)<img src="http://pittydafoo.homestead.com/files/FanHatNumber1.jpg">In 95 degree weather in socal right now that fan blowing through the front of the hat sure feels good... and the pisser rice lights add the style and clean look...

Hey guys, i was just wondering where you got the nipple cover to cover that turbo nipple after you install your MBC...home depot/home base? if so what department? ... hose filled with hot glue just doesnt cut it anymore :)Thanks! Ian

well before installing my MBC and after installing my RNR turboback (3"), i did a 3rd gear run... well started to...with the BCS restrictor removed, i was getting up to 14 PSI on stock exhaust. I figured the larger dump tube on the new exhaust would make it so it wouldnt be much differnt...

Has anybody ever successfully done it? i am trying to get palmnstein or MMCD running, both require v3.5 or higher, and i have been unsuccessful in upgrading my palm III (not e, just reg. palm III) to v 3.5. i have it at v3.3, and the 3.5.0 update will NOT work... any advice? :)

well my RNR exhaust touches my oil dipstick tube and heated up the dipstick handle enough for it to come off... has anybody else had this problem?more importantly, where can i get an oil dipstick? :)

so i was testing out my new exhaust and going down a canyon road in berkeley, when i start to smell a very nasty burning-rubber type smell... i also notice that it's taking more and more pressure for my brakes to work well... I get home and i pop the hood, but as i'm going around the car i...

Hey guys, i just installed my RNR 3" o2 elim turbo back yesterday and love it! :thumb: However, i just noticed today that the plastic wire loom surrounding 3 of the wires coming out of my alt has begun to melt. The wires look to be in good condition under the loom, but im afraid they could get...

After installing my RNR exhaust i had some smoke coming out of the muffler. The color was white/grey. I'm pretty sure it is just anti-sieze and liquid wrench burning off, but i'm curious if you have any other ideas. remember i had to remove my exhaust manifold and turbo to take it to a...

i'm trying to get my rnr exhaust on and i'm stuck trying to fit the piece that attaches to the muffler and the cat over the rear... i'm working on jack stands and simply cant fit the thing over that crossmember... anybody had this problem before?

I was attempting to take off my o2 housing today to install my RNR exhaust and the first bolt that i worked on broke off inside the turbo side... i used liquid wrench and everything, ..I know i'm not the first person to do this, so my question is... what should i do about that bolt? i dont...

I'm looking for a good place online to buy an o2 housing/ turbo gasket... recommendations? Thanks!

Hey all, I've been having trouble with AAMCO dealing with the two new clutches they've put in been grinding (they say it's chatter), and have 3 months left on my warranty. However, no matter what they do, including replacing the clutch, the problem always comes back. I'm looking for an outside...

Ok guys i'm trying to remove my stock exhaust to throw on my new turboback... but i CANNOT get the rear o2 sensor off of the system. It is totally fused... i've coated it with liquid wrench 10 times, and i am getting the best leverage i can while under the car, still it hasnt budged a mm. is...

I recently received my RNR turboback w/ hi flow cat... and i was wondering if there was any way i could install this without having to weld the slip fittings? I dont have any shops that i trust in my area, and it would be much easier if i could install the rest and then drive to have the...

In the first two gears when giving heavy gas, there is a vibration coming from my clutch area. I had a tranny rebuild 2000 miles ago, and a new clutch replacement 750 miles ago. the vibration/grinding can occur on a hard start also... i was wondering if this was clutch chatter, and if so, is...

I was thinking about switching to synthetic on my car... the block has 80,000 on it, and i have heard numerous reccomendations against switching due to the milage on the block. I was wondering the opinions of all of you guys. I basically know all of the major pros and cons already, just...

I had a new clutch installed a few months ago, have 1100 miles on it, and have had it adjusted for slipping once. This slipping was going on in 1st gear on launches and in higher RPM's in all gears, under STOCK boost. I tried to give it a proper break in period after the first adjustment, but...

Alrighty guys... here's the intricate details:I just had a transmission rebuild due to bad tranny bearings, and had them replace the clutch while they were at it (stock new clutch). Prior to the rebuild, i experienced NO problems with any grinding noises at all, left turns or anything...

QUICK! easy question:i need to buy tubing and a "T" to tap in my MBC to the bov tube... need to know 2 sizes:1) what size is the T, as i would buy it at the home depot?? 2) what size tubing??Thanx!Ian

Whats up guys... I just had an Aamco tranny rebuild, and had them install a new stock clutch while thye were at it. the tranny sounds absolutely beautiful now, but the clutch is slipping under full boost (with stock engine ... i need to install a lot of my parts).I am under the impression...
