Finally have the car together and now trying to get the wiring under way, but haven't been able to find much good information.I'm using my MT wiring harness, I don't have a TCU and I did buy a smart100 from forced four, and also fit a nicer gated shifter in.Kigglys install pic shows the...

A few months ago the car ran great, next time I drove it, it felt like the clutch was slipping (low mileage PTT). RPMs were going up, drivetrain had a bad vibration to it (only when boosting, having symptoms by 10psi), and it was making bad power. Let off the gas and it runs normal. I took the...

Anyone have the size of the 1g rear mustache nut that threads into the stud in the body?

Recently switched my a1000 setup for a 4303 I made this switch because: -Complete rebuilds available for not much money -Designed to run all the time, full time, with no step down controller -Reportedly doesn't heat up fuel -Higher flow volume Impression -Ran it 50 miles on just a few gal of...

Got these together a few weeks ago .060 aluminum sheeting Summit window cranks (after manual conversion) Autoloc inner handles

Anyone have this handy? I'm installing the magnus brace/cap and my shop manual is in another state Thanks!

Swapped over the winter, finally getting the 366 on the road. Spool has been ~4-500rpm quicker. 10psi in 3rd, 366 is 4500rpm, HX52 5200. 30psi in 3rd, 366 is 5500rpm, HX52 around 5900Only work with the change was switching to the Vband to marmon flange The turbine wheels are...

I gutted my doors and have some aluminum skins to put on them. I went to autozone to pick up some nicer handles, but none of them fit - anyone know which ones are compatible with our cars?Thanks!

I couldn't find much useful info/pics for installing these, so thought Id share here. These are Pro Street seats. What I used: 1x1" square tubing, 3/16 x 1 1/4" flat stock, grade 8 5/16 hardware.The flat stock I brought up in the front around 1.25" and around 2" in the back. Once the...

just picked up a set of 2000cc fiveOmotorsports injectors. I cut the resistor plug, soldered it, and went to start up. The injectors are not firing at all. Spinning the cam angle sensor, there is no audible noise appreciated. I don't have a extra resistor box tonight to use for testing, but...

Thought I would post up a log for HX52 info. In Link's Boost (WGS) tab, I have appropriate boost building #s from straight, single gear, highway pulls in the "Target" table for reference, I am not using this function.Setup: 1g AWD HX52 = Billet wheel, 16cm^2 divided housing 2.0L, 8.3:1...

Recently switched to V3 SD, trying to get the tune dialed in and cant seem to get my #s to make sense. I posted this on Link and didnt get much for feedback, so thought Id try here.My OpenLoopMaxOct is tuned down to 8.0 A/F (max) and I was still running lean! I 'added' in the fuel sliders and...

Hey guys, Just had some work done by Joe Barna @ Barna's Performance Machine in Wapwallopen. The guy took lots of time explaining all of my headwork, giving options and fielding all my questions. Work was excellent and I thought Id post here for a recommended machinist in the area.Info is...

Im in contact with Kelford, but wanted to run it by you fellas here as well. I have a set of K272s as well as a set of kelford 280s (280/276) at my disposal for next season. 2.0L, 8.3:1 wisecos/eagle rods, ported head, kiggly springs, HX52, twin scoll T4 mani, L19 studs.I didnt want to rev...

I'm doing to do a 'budget' drag build - I'm swapping to a twin scroll this season and needed 2 44mm gates. I couldn't see spending $700+ on a set of tials, but also didn't want to spend $150 and end up with glorified paperweights. I looked all over for writeups on these and at most found "yea...

From the top of the velocity stack to the end of the headflange.Im in the process of starting to get things around to build one and have been playing with runner length harmonic #s; curious what magnus/jmf runs.Please dont post a "I think number" by measuring from the outside.

I was going back and forth about just doing a side exit exhaust and decided to put in some extra work and do a full turboback. I build this over the past few days and thought Id post some information on it. I pieced this together as cheap as I could and think its a great option for DIY dsmers...

Giving up - Im sure its something simple, but I have no idea what this is...drivetrain noise help (plymouth laser) on Vimeodrivetrain noise help (plymouth laser) on VimeoCar has had a lot of drivetrain music done in the past 8mo, some in effort to deal with this - this is whats been...

Just did rear bushings, driveshaft universals. Car was giving me drop off power fits just as I parked it for the bushings.Car feels like something in the drivetrain is going on or is carrying 600lb more than normal. Car sounds like its running fast, feels like Im driving a cutlas cierra...

Put a manual rack in my car a couple years back - donor had a lot of miles on it.The rack has 'slop' when turning the wheel from neutral/midline/straight, but only in the middle. If I align the rack so that the car is going straight with the steering wheel offset in one direction, its much...

Still kicking around 1pc vs 3pc design. Ive read that the 2 factory north south crossmember bars arent necessary for drag/street cars. Fast cars are using just the front horizontal bar are frames are lasting? Seems the frame is predisposed to flexing/separating without those N/S bars...

Tuning the car - its been draining some coolant onto the front of the block and out of the valve cover vents under boost. Things are fine otherwise and the car's running well. Its not using too much coolant (maybe 1.5 cups per drive?). Oil is clean. Coolant is clean. Headgasket is intact...

Having trouble finding ANY 225/55/15 tires. What are you 15" rim guys running; 50 or 60 sidewalls? Other ideas?Got a set of 225/50/15 wheels. Stock circumference would be 225/55/15. This size is rare, 225/60/15 seems easier to find. What sizes are you guys with 15" running?Anyone have...

These are in by the CD player. Just finished a wire tuck. These maybe have to do with the turn signals (that dont work - but hazards do)??Thanks

I was running a 30A relay last year on one 255 pump. Im doing dual in tank this year, will 30A suffice?I called around and couldn't find larger than a 30A relay, would running 2 wired parallel be reasonable? Thanks

Anyone know if a BEP .70 turbine housing will clear the block with a turbonetics/treadstone exhaust mani? I had plenty of room with my .55, but not sure if this will. Car is in pieces, engine parts are @ shop, so I cant check fittment.Thanks

Finally getting the build together this week. Ive been back and forth about running this shaft: added support vs. risk of failure. I have a raceshaft and a new bearing ready to go, just wanted to feel it out some more.Anyone know of or have any experience with these failing? I read a few...

Anyone have luck or problems? Saw there were a few running 255 in tank with an inline on stock return.

I have a set of rockers with ~90k on them - putting a new head together, thoughts on reusing rockers? Expensive little guys!!

Looking for advice: Car feels like its doing real good power 4-7k, but I see lots of guys getting way more rpms. I have: Stage 1 buschur head, 272s, SMIM (homemade, pic attached) as well as .55 BEP housing - looking for where the car is choking. Im looking at headwork and larger cams, but what...

Hoping for some advice:FWD (2800ish) is spinning quite a bit and Im looking for some ways to get some more traction. I have a Quaife + 24.5 MT drag + ELHS. 1.9 was my best 60' meanwhile spinning till third (12.6@120) with a 2 stage BC. A member here suggested stiffer rear springs and a...

This is ran with the wiring for the brake lights - cant go far and I dont see anything on the steering column to connect with it. Thanks

I saw a few guys mounting coolant overflow in the stock SMIC location, does this create much of a problem since its significantly lower than the rad cap/stock overflow tank location? Seems like it would be difficult for the engine to pull fluid back FROM the overflow tank.Thanks

Ive never used a mbc and my buddy is having fits with his (just put it on). They are 1psi/turn correct? 12 is the max amount he said he could get out of it - are there different springs in these or is it progressively different? Thanks in advance!

I have been blessed with bad drivetrain luck for a while now. I was cruising down interstate under enough load to maintain highway speed, RPMs started climbing and soon enough I was roadside - made some calls and loaded the car 3 hours later.Is this unusual? There is seriously like 5k on the...

Are these interchangeable by chance? Thanks

Looking to see what size rims (steels for drag tires) you can run with a big brake setup. Also, what for sizes are you FWD guys running for radials/slicks?Thanks

Quick question - t3/t4 flanges. These are t3 flanged manifolds for t3/t4 hybrids or are t3/t4 manifold flanges meant for t3/t4 turbine housings? ? Does a t3/t4 inlet flange for a turbine housing even exist? Thanks guys

Not consistent, but probably 50:50 I will go to start the car and the tach spikes to ~6k and fuel pump makes wild rushes.This all started after I broke that TOB shaft on the trans bell housing (bolts got loose). I had to start it once or twice with the car in gear (TOB shaft broken @ this...

hey guys - looking into these frank turbos (friend has one) - I am having trouble finding any information on these things. It says forced performance on it, but I cant find any info on their site. Thanks!

Just switched to smim and starting to get crowded for space. What all can I pull off/delete from the firewall? That FPR coil deal thing on drivers side can go into the garbage?

Roommate has an a4 1.8t and I have a few 16g's laying around - anyone know if the mitsu center sections work with the turbine housing on an audi?

I have 680s and am maxing them out; I have base FP set to ~43. Are stock lines fine if I bump FP up to 48 base then retune?52? Anybody running increased FP because they are cheap too? Any other foreseen problems? Thanks guys

I currently am running high 90s for duty cycle on 680s with a 255 pump. I am looking into getting some bigger injectors; 255 is 4+ liter/min (4000+cc/min). Is there a 'duty cycle' caveat with pumps as well? I assume its fine, but figured I would check. Thanks in advance guys!

Switched trans housings (bell housing TOB shaft broke off). Now on startup, the car 'binds', but certainly starts. This wasnt a problem before. Also, infrequently, the tack will spike quick to 4 or 5k then go back to 1k @ startup. A buddy suggested testing injector pack resistance (HOW/WHAT...

My buddy gave me a ride in his car the other day - car pulls pretty decent (stock boost, 14b) but cuts out and 'hesitates' real bad @ 5-5500 under stock boost till whenever he lets go of gas or shifts. The hesitation is stop-go-stop-go ~4x a sec, so the car pulsates pretty rapidly and hard...

Anybody running this combo or something similar for compressor housing size? Figure I will have to beat in the water pipe a bit, but will most other things line up? I have a SFP and it is too far from the block that things are being made too difficult. Thanks in advance guys!!

Pull in 3rd today (ran fine so far - just got valvetrain/head on). The car FELL on its face ~5.5k then could barely drive nearest parking lot . Got the car home - pulled the wires, checked the plugs, checked compression. Plugs were white tipped on wideband had read (18+):1 lean. Car runs no diff...

RPMs are a little erratic. This is a 16psi pull on a 20g (93 oct). What do you guys think? CAS, TB tensioner? Thanks in advance
