Boostest is dead onaem is off by 3 or so doesn't match the gauge reading ever although its logged to the rear o2 sensor.4 knock is that bad?airfuelest seems extremely lean?I got my idle and cruise dialed in really good although my mafcomp was about 35% was this ok? the combft was...
This bumper was in the worst shape ever, took about 5hrs+ on the DA and hand sanding. Then used a full can on some filler. Got a bit more prep work for the bumper and then I have to do all the trim and the 6 side skirt piecesI also sanded down the CF hood and the 2ga twistie side...
Yep I got the car running now and getting my hands on the ecmlink tuning. Here's a vid of the car running. I have the stock injectors in the car for now until I get the hang of link, then I will swap in the 880s. The tick is also gone now thanks to the evo8 lifters :)Listen to that lob...
Ok so first off i have stock injectors for now until I get the hang of link. The o2 sensor is brand new and is not cycling, also my wideband is off the gauge lean. It was holding 12.3 for a while but then disappeared.I read that the TPS has a large effect on the o2 sensor, do I need to...
Since this is a smaller turbo that spools hella quick, did some port work of the wastegate. Also replaced the flapper while I was at it.In performing my abs delete I also took off all the rust on the calipers and repainted them as well. This took about 10hrs alone to remove all the rust...
Well I've built several DSMS over the years, the last one being a White 91 tsi. Well this one didn't work out to my liking so I part that all the way out and scrapped the shell. I saved a couple parts from this knowing that I would build this one because I picked up at the same time I was...
Don't hate guys but after a ton of fabbing I got these to fit perfect. They sit lower, perfectly straight, and hug you like grandma :pI got them for very cheap and came from an EP3
Ugh can't believe this happened. Drove the car about 1/4 mile this morning then it just stopped. I cranked it over once and didn't sound right so pushed it back to the garage. Took off the timing belt cover and this is what I find :banghead: Think I have bent valves? I will take the cam off and...
The first pic is near the kick panel on the passenger side. What is this box?The second pic is on the wire harness just down from the coil pack/ptu...
1-near the knock sensor
2-green and blue wire
3-a single black wire with white lineAlso can I remove the brake fluid resevoir sensor...
Was up until 2am the other night installing these items. Took me the longest to mount the intercooler and fab up some piping, 6hrs total.Installed the 8k hid kit from sharphid. This was THE most straight forward item I've ever put on a car :hellyeah: and extremely pleased at how they came out...
Picked up another Talon :D Price is classified ;) but got one hella deal. Was debating whether or not to grab it for about 3weeks and finally snatched it up about 10days ago. Got it because its incredibly clean and my other talon ('91) is not done yet :rolleyes: (complete car restoration) Since...
Has anyone else done this? I know that running without a stat that you'll run hot and need the stat to dam the flow of water to pool in the radiator to cool. If I remove the spring and push the valve down then jbweld it open, would this be ok?
Well I haven't seen any writeup on this before so I thought I'd document the processes. Many of us 1ga guys don't even use the popup function of the headlights in addition to seeing the 'tetris' shaped hood at :barf:There is an older thread found here about the discussion and a related...
My driveshaft isn't going all the way into the transfer case. I took it off several months ago to get to the oil pan bolts. Now I slid the shaft back into the case to put it back on and bolted it back up. Well the driveshaft it sticking out about 1.5-2 inches. I can pull it into the case but it...
Since there never was a stock black interior for the 1g we have to fabricate it ourselves. It's a gradual process but last night I did one of the door panels to add to the over all theme. It was very easy to do and took about 3 hours with a bit of patience.I striped the panels and sprayed...
So I did a search and the only related thread were about removing jacks, seats, bumpers, a/c, etc. Well I have some spare doors/hood and was just wondering if anyone has ever hacked these up to lighten them at all. The doors feel roughly about 100lbs+ and hood isn't too light either. Then...
$50 just picked up great condition hood, pop ups, fenders, all interior panels, both doors, both bumpers all in white so I don't even have to paint it! I could've also grabbed the hatch but I ran out of room in the jeep. Guy just wanted it gone out of the barn from a part out a while back...
Just wondering who all has them. I got my hands on some decent 1g ones and got a gold caliper paint kit (brush on). They look :hellyeah:before:after:ps if anyone has any 1g rear awd calipers in decent condition I need some so pm me.
I got this chip from a guy. He said something about pins or maf. I'm not sure. Anyhow he said it's worth over $100. Here's whats printed on the chip with knobs:on cts219 5471 2 3 4
As the title states. There were no metal shavings in the pan or anything and the oil looked very clean. Just wondering if there is anything I should checkout, as in the engine, before I put a new one on.BTW this is why I changed the oil pan :ohdamn:
A.B.C.D. Also I cannot find my bcs anywhere, could this even possibly be removed?
edit: found it's not needed explained here BUT I can connect both the mbc AND the boost gauge tap into this single line???
I just installed Megan springs and KYB GR-2's in the rear and they just don't look right for some reason. I've installed megan springs on other cars before but they look way compressed for some reason. Is this right?
I'm new to 1g and have read that I can get a chip burned or something along the lines of a reflash? Just a little confused about the terms and what each of the tuning options are. I ran a safc when I had the 2g but I've read that there are other options besides this the DSM Link. I have a gm maf...
i don't have power stearing or a/c but my crank pulley seems to be sitting out about 1/4" to 1/2" from my harmonic balancer and alternator. is this also on backwards? it did shred one of my belts already (that's how i noticed).
keeping this short:
ok so i used to have 2g gst (actually its still my avatar haha) with many mods and sold it several months back, been missing the thing since. but i was on the look out for a 1g awd. so now i got my ideal dsm: white awd talon tsi 1ga :hellyeah: and i have several questions...
i think it would be cool for someone to make a 2g transformer :hellyeah: kinda like the camaro one. could anyone do this in photoshop? i may test my skills later on tonight :cool:
first off i borrowed talontsiboy24, picture because i don't have a current picture right now at this angle
ok so currently i have my plates like picture #1. i was wondering if it was ok to cut your plates to look like picture #2 (cut the top and bottom off, looking like euro plates)???? also i...
so i did this and cruise works great but i cannot get the horn working. i make contact from the giant metal washer to the center nut and nothing happens. also note that when my car alarm goes off the horn will still operate. ideas? thanks
so this past weekend i went to the drag strip for the first time with the clipper :hellyeah: i didn't really know what i'd run @ all with many people saying i'd run 13's / 14's which they were correct. my best out of 8 runs was a 13.5 @ 110 and i think it was a 2.2 60ft. i really think i can do...
so yesterday i took off the valve cover to repaint it, installed a tubular manifold, and painted my fuel rail. was running just fine before this. now when everything is back together is won't start. i did have a pyrometer installed on the stock mani but i didn't put that back on. i know that i...
i currently have my stock 2g exhaust manifold tapped for pyrometer (from previous owner, i believe this was used for tunning purposes). i just got a new tubular mani so could i retap this into the first runner or will this cause some structural integrity? do i even need the pyrometer?
yes i have searched.....basically i'm sporting a 16g, 550 injectors, 190 pump, full exaust, bov, cai, plugs/wires and professionally tuned with a safcII.....i've read that i would not need an afpr with the 190 pump unlike the 255. but i am getting some occasional boost lag or some kind of...
i have a stock manifold and would like to put some heat wrap on this because i do not have a heat shield. would i have to take this off in order to do this? tia
i have a stock exhaust manifold with a pyrometer sensor installed. i'm looking into getting headers either these or these but i do not know where to put the sensor or will i just loose it? thanks
