    crankshaft timing gear puller

    I told you that the puller (in your first link) wouldn't work. I linked you to what you needed. You never said that you already had tried using the puller that I had linked you to. I only know what you tell me.Anyway, to try and help you.... I actually only used two bolts when pulling...

    crankshaft timing gear puller

    What the hell are you talking about? There's no such thing as a "not compatible" timing gear puller. It has nothing to do with the 4g63 or the 420a. I've used the same one on every engine I've ever worked on. That link that you posted to Autozone isn't a gear puller, it's a pulley puller...

    crankshaft timing gear puller

    That harmonic balancer puller isn't what you need. You need a timing gear puller, like I posted. You'll also need those bolts that I posted, M6, IIRC, pretty long. Spray the shit out of it with WD40, and then it'll come off pretty easily.

    crankshaft timing gear puller

    I assume you're talking about the gear, not the pulley. So, technically, the oil pump gear. Any timing gear sprocket puller will work, something like this: AutoZone.com | Timing Gear Puller They'll probably have ones that have 4 holes, rather than two which gives you a little more flexibility...

    gst fuel pump on 420aturbo

    You can't tune at all with an FMU, but I think that might have been a typo. The rising rate that you want the SFMU to have is based on the size of your injectors, mostly. You wouldn't want to use an SAFC to fine tune, because you can't really use it in boost. Not to add fuel at least...

    stock 420a pump w/turbo works

    Do you have a way to measure the Air-Fuel ratio? More than an inaccurate POS narrowband? It'll drive fine when you're not boosting, because you're not demanding anymore fuel. Under boost: 53psi stock fuel pressure. 8psi of boost (I'm assuming) 12psi of fuel pressure for every pound of boost...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit 420a Placment...?

    You'll just need another 3/8" NPT Tee. That could lead to a pretty long array of fittings coming off the back of the block, though. I didn't like how long mine was, and I was using the setup in the above diagram. I just ordered this fitting: Aeroquip FBM2519 - Aeroquip AN to NPT Adapter...

    10.5 comp with 16G

    I doubt you'll be able to run that setup without someway of detecting knock and adjusting spark accordingly. Without control of spark, you'll have to dump extra fuel in to avoid knock, which you don't really want to do. My vote is: without some control of spark, don't do it.

    Vortech FMU

    I'm not sure what fittings you're talking about. The FMU has one vacuum fitting.... If you're blowing into it your simulating "boost". The FMU also has 2 fuel fittings. So, I'm not sure which one your saying you're blowing into. I'm sure it's just fine and you're just being pessimistic.

    Pressurize the intake manifold, so the MAP sensor is reading positive pressure.

    Car Won't Start After Turbo Install

    Please start a new thread when asking a new question. Did you use a AN fitting? If you did, you don't need any type of sealant on it, if you put some on that could cause it to leak. If you're using pipe thread you need to use a sealant (made for use with oil), in order to prevent leaks.

    My first post in the thread:Hahn is extremely reputable and their kit is designed to be installed and ready to go, meaning you don't need any other parts. If they say you won't experience knock at 5psi without an intercooler, I believe them. Now, would it be more beneficial and safer to have...

    Vac problem

    It's highly unlikely that your compression tester is bad. I would triple check your timing, I'm willing to bet it's off and causing all of your issues. Either that, or as you said, something was done incorrectly during the install.

    P0505 - Idle Air or ECU?

    Check the IAC as Boosted said. Really, the only way I know of checking an ECU is to either rule out everything else, or switch it out for a known good ECU and seeing if that changes anything. However, as you mentioned, it really sounds like the IAC.

    custom turbo manifold

    Yes, you could weld on an adapter to your current manifold. There's a few people that have done so. Without an intercooler at 5psi you'll have pretty high intake temps, which makes you more prone to detonation. So, just keep that in mind. Hahn sells a "stage 1" kit, meant to be run at 5psi...

    Turbo/Manifold Placement Too Close to Radiator?

    I'm not sure what you mean "a hair of play". The important thing is that your throttle plate is 100% closed at idle. My idle is -16"hg, but I have stock cams. You'll have to get input from someone that runs Crower 3's.

    Which Pistons/Rods to Buy for Turbo

    Turbo/Manifold Placement Too Close to Radiator?

    You set your throttle cable? You don't have to "set" your cable for idle. It should be completely closed when your foot is off the pedal, and completely open when to the floor, that's all you need to make sure it happening while "adjusting the cable". Your IAC is basically a passage way that...

    Turbo/Manifold Placement Too Close to Radiator?

    I'm guessing that weird sensor you're talking about is the EGR. None of those should cause your high idle issues. Check your IAC. It's the valve that controls airflow past the thottle plate at idle.

    Which Pistons/Rods to Buy for Turbo

    We're talking about 420a's, just to clarify. I'm not sure if you had one before your 4g63, and that's the one you're refering to. I'm just wondering if someone has found a rough power mark to where the Eagles can't hold up.

    Turbo/Manifold Placement Too Close to Radiator?

    Like Dave said, if you have solid mounts you should be fine. As for the piping, it shouldn't really be affecting your situation. You definitely don't want to drive it like that with a load, though. It will mess up your turbo pretty quick. Are you using the stock IAC?

    Wow, that's a big turbo. As long as air can pass across the radiator fins; meaning, as long as it's not denting the fins, it should be fine. To your other question, since you're using MS you should probably post that in the EMS section. How're you controlling your idle? Just to double...

    Someone more knowledgeable with the 14B will have to confirm, but I belive that it uses a -4an feed. The OPSU threads into the block with a 3/8"NPT, so you can tap it from there using a tee. I wouldn't recommend using Ebay feed lines, I've had bad experience. Just order some -4an line and...

    loss of power at 5000rpm under boost

    That's because without boost your engine doesn't need as much fuel for good combustion. You're not getting enough fuel in boost, so you have to look at the things that change or control while in boost. FMU would seem like the next most likely step, to me. Since you have the FCD, just put it...

    Yes, you could use the AFPR and not connect a vac line. When I had my FDC installed I experienced something similar to what you're saying, once it got to 3psi it just hit dead. However, it was a violent shaking. I think you would know if you were experiencing fuel cut. There's a difference...

    loss of power at 5000rpm under boost

    It sounds like you've done everything correctly. The problem with adding a AFRP, is that they are also a rising rate regulator. (They have a 1:1 RR) You will then have two rising rate regulators, giving you a 13:1 rising rate altogether. Your FPR keeps a consistent fuel pressure, so if your...

    loss of power at 5000rpm under boost
