In the 3 years since I did my AWD swap, the passenger side axle seal always leaked. I replaced it three times, along with the axle twice. Leaked the same amount no matter what.Took it all apart again today and something made me try to move around the differential. Well, the differential roller...
Just tuning in my new HX35 BEP .55AR setup, comparing it to my old Evo III setup, doesn't seem much different at similair boost. I'm seeing 22PSI by about 4000 RPM, but peak torque shifted back about 500 RPM for some reason. 70-90 times are also about a tenth slower.Obviously I plan on turning...
Just curious what people are running for intakes with the HX35/HX40's running a MAF (3" Evo 8) setup? Would it be better to run a 3" pipe and have it reduced from the turbo inlet or run a 4" pipe and have it reduced at the MAF? Recirculated of course...
I'm planning on threading in a 3/8NPT to -6AN fitting on each end of my OEM fuel rail. Just wondering, would there be any consequence to cutting the return side of the fuel rail about 1/2" shorter, so there will be enough room for the 90° fitting for the return?I won't need the "ears" for...
Has anyone tried Energy Suspension's universal end links? They are adjustable, not sure what that would do besides maybe even out ride height. They do look a little stronger.Are these an upgrade worthwhile over stock? There's not much info on here about our factory links, there's some...
I have been fighting this lean spike for a while. I keep adjusting the MAFComp higher and higher, it temporarily fixes it, but eventually I keep getting the spike. It's usually around 5000RPM, and goes from ~11:1 AFR to ~11.8 AFR every time, sometimes leaner. I am already adjusting the MAFComp...
Just trying out my new wastegate actuator for my Evo III 16g (running around 23psi). Made a bunch of clean pulls with no knock. Then, during a second gear WOT pull (log attatched), I get a loud backfire type noise, and 8.1° of knock retard! Thought I blew off a coupler or something, but...
Just finished my AWD swap, put in HKS 264/272's, now getting tons of knock for some reason. Car was tuned perfectly before. I can't tell if it is going lean, causing it to knock, or the timing is causing it to knock (only 3-5°...) and then go lean for some reason. I have a few clips posted up...
I'm assembling my rear Tokico Illumina shocks with matching Tokico springs, and I have everything mounted correctly, but there is zero preload on the spring! I mean I can shake it around, zero preload whatsoever. Is this correct? I know the spring is shorter but I figured there would still be...
Been searching all of the threads, can't find much on this. What brake lines are you 2G guys running for brake lines with the VR4 front calipers? Are the ones RTM sells the only option? Or can I make the 1G or 3KGT ones work on my 2G?
Do I have a bad front o2 sensor? The car is perfect on cruise. but very lean at idle, and for some reason it randomly shoots to 14-15 AFR at WOT! The WOT log shows the front o2 voltage wacky, but why would the cruise log be perfect?Pretty confused on this one...Any help would be great.
I just hooked up my DO meth kit, controlled by Link. Upped the boost from 16psi to 19psi with the meth, and added a little timing and took a little fuel out. I guess I expected more of an increase in power. Airflow readings are only showing ~1lb/min airflow increase. Am I at least heading in the...
No idea what this would have to do with anything, but I just changed out my old crap ebay filter with a new K&N 4" inlet filter, and put in some new BR7ES plugs in. Now I am running 12.x:1 lean!! I have it set up for 11.0:1 in V3. Has been running perfect for about a year now, until today when I...
Is there any reason to leave this piece of plastic on the inside of the MAF? I got a new 4" filter and adapter, and the adapter is tapered just like the piece of plastic. I just don't know if it will disrupt the readings or anything, but it just seems like a restriction and air would get trapped...
I'm just getting my Evo III motor ready for startup, and I'm trying to prime the oil system. I am not seeing any oil coming from the squirters. I also pulled the small allen plug from the front of the motor, still nothing from there either. I don't know if the Oil gauge is working, since I only...
If I run a vaccum line from my j pipe to my wastegate actuator, will that allow me to run stock boost? I am just finishing up a year long build, and I misplaced my MBC. So to get it running, will this work temporarily?
I am just finishing building a 97 GST, and will be firing it up soon. Question is, if I choose not to hook up the EVAP system, can I just leave the cannister in and everything connected to it, and just not hook up the vaccum lines to the IM? Will the gas tank still be ventilated, or will it...
I'm swapping in an Evo III motor (bought the car as a shell, i know the Evo III motor is nothing "special", got a good deal) into my 97 GST. Besides all of the CAS stuff, EGR, and MDP stuff, what will I need to make this run properly? It has the yellow top 510cc injectors and obviously the Evo...
