u still have it ? how much for the wing ?

im pretty happy with em . took a lil bit to get the daed time dialed in , but over all i like them .

hmm ....it could be either . did you beat on the clutch ? or was it slipping at all ? do any panic type stops ?there is a chance the slides on the caliper seized .... but that should have made the car pull to one side or the other . do a clutch test tomorrow . lug the car into 3rd gear ...

i saw your other thread , what makes you think you over heated the brakes ? did they fade ? where was that ohh soo crappy smell the strongest ? any particular wheel ?

is the plug tight ? a loose or stripped plug is the only thing that i know of that will have enough pressure to screw up one of the bolts . the oil is prob from a bad gasket .

is it giving you any problems yet ?

then the regulator is dead . u can usually get em rebuilt but since you dont know what brand it is ..... your prob s.o.l.

one other option is go to home depot's plumbing section and get an npt nipple , and tap the hole .. but if u can get a non cracked v/c that cheap just replace it . check the new one for cracks by the two valve cover bolts nearest the timing belt in the spark plug galley . hope that makes sense...

im pretty sure one of the plugs by the timing ground connector on the fire wall will activate the pump . with the car off u should be able to hear it . if you cant hear it u can disconect the line going into the rail , put it in a gas can , and try the pump . just be carefull not to spray fuel...

prob gain 5 ish hp . as to the puddle problem , look into getting an aem bypass valve . its basically a coupler with an air filter in it . if u submerge your filter it will pull air from the bypass instead of sucking in the water and hydro locking your engine ......

sounds like the afpr is dead . there is vac at the hose correct ? if u have vacuum at the line , and when connected its not pulling the pressure down its bad . should lower the fuel press with vacume , and raise when boost pressure is applied

+1 on check that the calipers arent seized up . also its a long shot but ive seen on bikes if u over fill the res , when the fluid heats up and expands it will hold the brakes slightly on .

did u check for a vac / boost leak after the throttle body ? also make sure the throttle is closing all the way

responded

use any kinda petroleum based grease . also u said the clips are the same , why not use the clips off the old axles ?

black smoke means its running rich ie fuel . when u changed the plugs were they consistent ? also check the maf . make sure its clean , no big leaks between the maf and the turbo . look over the entire fuel side of the system as well

on a mbc , all the way open is "off" how do the plugs look ? amy chance its a bad or shorted out sensor or eve a bad gauge ?

how are you with dsm link ?

im pretty sure they are having the wed night thing every other week . i usually go friday nightsscott

any ideas when to try n set this up again ? i was up last night n the track is nicer than i remember ...... they paved but only the track surface ..... entrance road is still crap

its kinda a chip but very programable . go to ecmtuning.com

really ..... i know i havent been there in a while , but island is where i used to get tech'd the hardest with my mustang ..... only place ive ever seen em crawl under to check for a d/s loop and a scatter shield ....anyway if i can figure out why im getting tons of knock and fix it in...

umm ... 2 things i can think of . one in the dtc tap , u can turn off misfires , the other is to wire in a volume knob into i think the baro wire . im not sure if this will help you , i really thought it was just an issue with 6 bolt swaps ....

that car is super clean ! i was impressed

white 1ga in the wayne dunkin tonight with hoosier slicks ..... who was it lol

tuffys for one , i almost got canned when i worked there for doing it .... then they found out it was my car lol

how did the crank look when you installed the bearings ? i prefer to rebuild over just replace . that way you know the history of the engine and that all is new etc etc . buying a used motor is always a gamble .

Is this a track only car ? If not you might want to rethink removing the heater components . I know it doesn't get that cold in fl , but if u ever get stuck in the rain and the windshield fogs ...... gonna be S.O.L. !

white smoke is not oil , oil is a blue ish color . white is coolant / water . when does it do it , just in the mornings ?

Can i ask why do you want the head polished ? A lot of people just assume thats what they need because it is such common lingo , but polishing the intake usually causes driveablility issues in the lower rpm's . when you polish the intake side of the head , it can cause the fuel to puddle on the...

Generally i dont worry too much about the psi , but more so the consistency between the cylinders . as to the smoking issue , what color is the smoke ? The color will help narrow down the suggestions on where / what to check .

that might have been me , did it have a kamanari wing ? if so , you saw me lol

im trying to get up there soon . for the life of me i can find whats causing the phantom knock in my car since i installed the dsmlink .

an easy way to check if its a head gasket ( not likely ) is pull the plugs . if there is one really clean one , that cylinder is burning water . also could do a compression test , or another is to put compressed air into the cylinder .... around 120 ish psi and look in the coolant cap for...

anybody still go there ? do they still do the friday night test and tune's ?

is the car smoking at all ? if so , what color is the smoke ? i hate taking stabs in the dark , but kinda sounds like the fpr is stuck and just dumping fuel .

have you checked for boost leaks ? if u have a big leak , it wont builn much boost . also im pretty sure you wont increase boost tightening against the spring . to raise boost , you make a controlled leak in the line going to the waste gate actuator . basically tricking the actuator into not...

if they are ground trigger injectors , all it would take is a wire to rub through and basically short the circuit . im not sure if these cars use a ground trigger or a positive trigger for the injectors . it is pretty unlikely that the injectors are stuck wide open . if they were , they ''...

when i did my 6 bolt swap , i spent a week chasing and tracing wires to find the cas had a broken wire as soons as it came out of the sensor . alot of times with electrical its something stupid . try not to over look the little things . check fuses , grounds , and make sure everything is plugged...

id still say do a spark test . might have a good coil , but a bad wire . another thing u could try is check if the injectors are firing or just stuck wide open . ive herd of ppl feeling for the click of the injector firing , but if available id say get a set of noid lights . they are pretty...

im drawing a blank , but are those 2 cylinders on the same coil ?

if the smoke is blue , it shouldnt smell like fuel . if it does , you might have 2 sep issues blue is oil white is water / coolant black is fuel

also do u have an afc or any other tuning system ? 550's with no correction are always gonna run rich on idle with nothing to make corrections with . and afpr wont really help much , but most say u need one with a 255 as the pump will over run the stock regulator

If your still using a oe mas air , you should keep the bov piped back into the system . pretty much its generally a bad idea to release the bov into the atmosphere unless you are running a gm maf in the blow through configuration .

not i says me lol , still not done with my motor swap .... ughh . if its clear and semi warm i might stop down on the bike ...
