Symptoms:Cannot go into gear while motor on. Can go into gear while off. While in gear when the motor is off, with the clutch down, the clutch is still engaged and when I try to start the car moves. (This is why I think now it is the pressure plate instead of the synchros)At first I...

I know this isn't as cool as some others work here, but I was thinking of a way to read the oil pressure while the car is one going to the turbo. Well this is what I came up with. It's feed from the oil filter housing to the turbo. The thought is that if you are reading way to much pressure...

This is a strange request, as I could not find one thread that asked the same questions. Well, I need a pair of stainless rear brake lines. As we all know only agency power carries them seperately for like 90 bucks :confused:. So, here is my question; are the fittings for the front brake...

Well fellas, I have a doozy for yall. Trying to remove my head i'm on the last arp nut to loosen. Well, trying to put some nuts behind it, it seems that I have stripped that bugger pretty good. To make a long story short, it's the last bastard I have to get off to take the head off but now I...

Who has had it, what caused it, and what did you do to fix it? I'm looking through my chilton and it says that it could be a leak, valves not seating, wrong timing. I just want to know what you guys have experienced so I know where to start! ThanksKJ

Has anyone had the pleasure of removing theirs??? I'm thinking just keeping my fluidamper that is still on the other engine and removing and selling my ATI.KJ

But I think this is cool. Did it a couple of nights ago and will be sending it to my friends for a couple of coats of clear. Tell me what you guys notice!

Where should I start... my car has no major mods, probably link and bolt ons. Here's the deal. I had some sputtering so I put link on to see what was going on. During cruise it was not smooth meaning slight engine bucking like it was misfiring (but no CEL). Well, on link, the only thing I...

What's up fellas! Here is the deal, i'm trying to modify an extra FPA that I have to use a -6an bulkhead that will be the connection to the pump. The dillema is that the pump is so close to the top of the assembly that if I wanted to use the bulkhead with a barb, I would have to drop the pump...

I've got a good deal on a twin scroll 258. But I already have placed the order for an ERL manifold, so here is the question. How detrimental would it be to the performance of the turbo with out having a twin scroll manifold. I mean, the guy i'm buying the turbo from (he rebuilds turbo's for a...

What's up fellas. I've decided to push my build completion date to early 09. That gives me plenty of time to readjust things with the build. Let me start off with my build list:7bolt late 95 block bored .20 over completely cleaned 100mm crank w/ARP mains Manley H beams Wiescos STRKR...

What's up fellas. I got a question about these damn arms. I just replace all 4 lowers up front, but I didn't have anything to measure the amount of torque I had tighten them to. But ever since then my "return to center" while steering is slugish. When I make a full turn, it will not come all...

I've been contimplating a dual boost controller setup, without the fuzzy logic but with the tride and true performance of manual boost controllers. Well this is what I came up with, let me know what you guys think! And more than likely I will have this setup in my car where the hi boost...

Whats up fellas?! I got a question to ask of you all. I just bought a forward racing oil filter bracket for the seven bolt. And here is the dilemma. On the old filther bracket, there are like 3 or 4 port used or bolted up. Like the oil pressure sending unit, or the oil pressure sensor...

FP3's or FP3x's. Who has them and use it for a DD, let me know how you feel about them!Thanks!

What' good everyone, i'm trying to decide what cams I want to put into my setup. I'm finishing up a 2.3 build and i'm working on the head pieces. I'm torn between the fp3, 280, or 288's. Which one would be the most "bang for the buck." My goal is a 450-550 awhp DD on a mild tune. Turbo is...

I couldn't find where I could actually post this... but I'm ready to send my block in for machining, so I want everyones input of a reputable machine shop in the virginia, maryland, DC area. Hook me up fellas... also, i'm going to be building it myself after all of the parts are machined and...

I thought this would be helpful for those that are running holset turbo's. I'm considering one, and I'm sure this will come in handy.http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/files/holset_info/HX35_40.pdfUse wisely, and always stay "tuned"!!KJ

I made. Let me know what you guys/gals think! I'm also trying to find a thermal forming company to make some if they become popular. Here ya go!

I didn't know where to put this so I figured problem diagnosis would suffice. I have an ebay turbo timer (which works fine, no problems ever) that I have modded the wires to work with an aftermarket alarm. Now this is what I would like to do but can't seem to find the right place to start...

Where did you buy yours (when it was time to replace it), and how much did you pay. I have to do mine with timing belt, and i'm not to keen on these "OEM resellers", and trust me I searched until my mouse said "no MAS"!! LOL LOL. Don't forget, we are all frugal when it comes to buying parts...

I made this last night, tell me what you guys think. The bleeder is a brake bleeder screw!! LOL... I think it's pretty kick ass!KJ

Has anyone out there installed a turbo timer and a viper alarm, but the passive alarm did not work on the viper, but did some sort of rewire to trick the Viper that the engine and power is off (but it's not because of turbo timer), and allow you to arm the alarm while the turbo timer is counting...

How many have installed them. Do they have to be retapped for the correct threading? Let me know if they are just a direct swap!! Thanks!KJ

And yes I do have ABS. I'm thinking that something mechanical is going wrong with the ABS because of the clicking. I have new rotors and pads the I allowed to bed correctly. But it clicks when braking and gets louder depending on how hard I brake. Let me know what you guys think!KJ

Ok, here it is short and sweet. Traveling down 95 going about 80 or so. I sped up to around this car, but my car would not pull pass 4 grand. Then when I let off and started to head towards my exit, that's when I felt the sputtering. Now, every time I start it, it takes for ever to turn...

Well, I was heading out to MIR with my boys, when I got an exhaust leak. One of my turbine housing botls backed out. Being that my manifold was hot as hell, I had to get some water to "slowly" cool it down. Well I finally got the bolt back in, and now no more leak. But now my clutch feels...

Has anyone ever installed an alarm (aftermarket) but then had their factory go off when you open the door after unlocking it from the aftermarket. If so, how did you disable the factory or taken out the factory wiring?Thanks!KJ

Got a good deal on a six bolt! Unsure if it was from a turbo or not, but I got some eagle rods, arp studs, and a bsek along with it for 700. Almost a long block just missing some pistons. But how can I tell on the block that is was from a turbo? Thanks!KJ

What sound would my oil pump be making if it was starting to go bad. I took a small road trip somewhere, and when I got to where I had to go, I was hearing a whining sound that get louder and higher pitched when I get on the gas. Would that be a bad oil pump? <--- I'm I naming that right...

my coolant. I'm assuming a blown head gasket (internally), but I do not get any over heating. Let me know if that is the concensus!?Thanks,KJ

while they still owned their DSM? What sounds did it make, because I think mine is going bad. I hear a whining/winding sound when I apply hard boost (flooring it), but... it doesn't do it when i'm moderate on the accelerator.Thanks,KJ

can figure this one out. My slave (clutch) was replaced because it was bad. My pressure was great, but now i'm realizing that after riding on the highway, I lose pressure again. There are no leaks because i checked it so many damn times and my resevoir stays the same. Also after I get off...
