Hello all,I have run into a bit of a hiccup, a small one.I have had a nice build going now for a while, I am about wrapped up here and am looking for opinions on fuel set-ups.While I'm down there I want to get everything out of the way, even for the potential future...First, is...

Well,I have a very strange leak, and after using some oil dye, I figured it to be dripping off the CHRA....Can anyone tell me from these pictures, what this corrosion is all over my turbo oil return bolt, and my coolant hose running to the turbo.Keep in mind I just built this car 6...

As the title states, which transmission should I get??I am in the middle of an AWD swap and am looking for some answers.None of these parts are on my car yet, but they will be going on over this weekend and the next, as they are piling up in my garage. I just want to include this list...

Well,For the weekend my fiance and I went to stay at my parents for my mothers birthday. They live in a duplex, and extra parking is right across the driveway.ALL night I was tossing and turning because I was having a terrible dream that my car was hit and my side-view mirror was...

Well, I may have significant evidence that helical gears provide lower oil pressure starting from here.Girlfriends talon underwent recently a nice complete maintenance/mod rebuild and went from; An old 6-bolt Oil pump with straight cut gears, stock unported OFH, and Balance shaft removal was...

Yeah so I completely put my girls talon all back together and although im combating a small oil leak..(either because I only used copper spray on the pan gasket, or because the oil was a tad over filled.),I noticed while idleing in her car while I was getting everything all set-up, the...

Im currently installing a 16g on my womans talon, I replaced the motor with a 6-bolt, and everything else fully built, but I got a new OFH for the 6-bolt block and Im planning on using my old stainless oil feed line for her oiling, but I Cannot for the life of me get that Allen Plug out of the...

Its cold in michigan now, and my womans talons motor is being broken in (it has 500 miles on it)..I have been using napa 10-30 for the first 50/250/500...I just started hearing great things about Brad Penn oils and saw they had a straight 30W Break-in oil..Would I be safe to break in her...

So I took in my girls talons engine pieces to get powder coated, I told the guy there NOT to powdercoat the FPR and to get it off for me because I had forgotten to take it off and his business is like 40 miles from me...So he never took it off and jsut powder coated it and then baked it...So...

I have had the engine out for a while now for my talon, I had the motor built a while back from a shop, just with the usual I get, 6-bolt block/rods, NPR pistons, cometic HG, 7-bolt head, and ARP headstuds...Well I took the motor out again at 500miles to spray the engine bay, while everything...

I was just wondering if theres a specific wear measurement for pivot ball?? I have my tranny out and wanted to make sure it's the right height or ill shim it..The tranny is going back in today so buying a new one on the weekend is a no.ThanksThis is with a brand new act2600, streetlite...

I simply don't understand...More than half of Californian's smoke marijuana on the regular and me visiting there often I see everyone there smoking..I myself have a Michigan Medical Card, If maybe you guys could chime in on what you think about legalization and what it would bring. (Not...

I just wanted to know if the engine bays on our cars come just base coat in the engine bay from factory, or indeed have a clear coat.My color code is P88 cayenne red pearl metallic and i have the sherwin williams mixed crap already.Thanks

Whats this hole?? Does mitsu make a rubber gromet or something that will plug it? Ive gone great lengths to keep my engine bay clean and id rather not have water splashing up onto my timing side..thanks

My friend just got done with a famous PI swap on his mustang, and he had a harness in the bay upside down to where he just left 2 of his connectors un-plugged and worst of all, he had his alternator main power wire connected straight to a chassis ground by his battery????The saddest part is...

Well, I took my baffles out to clean some grit underneath them, and Im kind of kicking myself in the ass because what ive tried to do to re-stick this baffle to the VC has not worked.I have tried to weld a glob (aluminum of course) on top of the little keepers and after I was done...

I am just wondering, I had this motor built a while ago, and am just doing some maintenace on it.When built I opted for ARP headstuds, ARP flywheel bolts, ARP HB bolts, and stock mains, but..I cant remember if I had them do ARP rod bolts also??from this picture can you tell if these...

Ive been trying to find an alternative to welding this baffle back onto my VC. I dont feel like mushrooming a glob of filler, so something can come loose in the future..So...Does anyone have any ideas for maybe a flap or something along the lines like Paul did with his VC?I have made a...

So ive pulled my motor again for certain reasons, decided i'd chop out the cruise control.I took off the the bracket welded to the cabe going from the cruise box to the Throttle body, and jsut crimped on the cable coming out of the firewall...A little bending and voila?15 minutes...

Well, I used to powder coat bicycle frames back in the day, and I just finally set-up my own professional booth/15ft oven. Ive been messing with many kinds of blasting sands and media...Here are some pics of my Gloss Black and my Silver/chrome.My valve cover and intake pipe were powder coated...

Well, I am in a pretty good position to get some tires really cheap. My drafting job has been slowed down to 30hrs or less a week, so to keep myself busy I just got a job at a Belle Tire in my area.My knowledge of tires is good, but I just cant decide which 'size' tire to get. I have a...

So back in 08', sitting in my Garage finishing a 16g swap with a couple buddies...My friend was drunk at the time with my laptop looking up torque specs and such, he came across a civic website (my friend being a mustang owner who wasn't any brighter) and was looking up posts on this forum...

Well, Ive had a ACT PP laying around for some time and Im not exactly sure if its a 2100 or 2600 because it is literally beat to shit on the outside, from a starter cog/gear rattling inside of the Bell housing for probably a good 1000 miles from my old car. What im wondering, Is why after...

Well, I am done telling my buddy how adjustable cam gears have helped with my Kelford 272's...but he is getting hks 272 regrinds and I think he should just stay with stock cam gears and save himself some money. I have seen good results, its not like hes going to try and squeeze every drop of hp...

I want to take off the right motor mount where it meets the block on the timing side while I do a water-pump and oil pump, Oil pan is off so I cant use a jack, and my engine hoist is being borrowed.Can I temporarily rest the engine and tranny just on the remaining 3 mounts?? Thanks.

Well, I just got my OEM bare oil pump and used the drive and driven gears from my old pump. The gear cuts all look good, there is no excessive wear on them so im not too worried.I took off the oil pump cover and bolts, set them aside.I took my BSEK stub shaft and bolted it to the driven...

So, I suspected my big 16g to sort of be blown when I took my oil pan off and found a nice flake of gold...about the size of a pea. No shimmery or other stuff in the oil, there was some particles in the oil filter though. This was after like 400 miles of break-in.So i checked my rods...

Well, I finally got a new fuel filter, and stainless filter to rail, rail to AFPR and such.I have got my hands on a SAFC-II (got it for $50 of a cousin) for a few months until I can get link V3.I want to start tuning for e85 and see where It'll go for me with my current set-up.I have...

Well, my cars apart, and I had some spare time so I started shaving and soon to be polishing my big 16g compressor cover. I know it'll never have those tag numbers anymore :( but at least it used to be a 42 (big 16g). So if I ever sell it, I have pics of before and after.I also did some...

Well, I just did a compression test today, I couldnt really get the motor up to operating temperature because I blew out the new water pump and seal driving home yesterday.When warming the car up, im afraid that the coolant temp sensor wont know the real temp because there is barely any...

I have sitting in front of me, an HX-35..and an HX-40....I need some guidance on which to use considering my mods...I am looking for 450hp - 500hp...Fwd on some 255/35/18 hoosiers. Soon converting to AWD so dont get all wheelspin bashing :P.Now for my mods and expectations....Stock...

*Well, I have no CEL's so I hope that can sort of isolate the problem. *My vacuum is -20 at all times *BOV is recirced *190 lph fuel pump *stock FPR *all vacuum lines have been replaced *No boost leaks *front 02 sensor looks great *brand new AEM wideband *brand new coolant temp sensor...

Well i should say collapsed lifters.I have a brand new motor that I have only put 426 miles on. I change the oil at 40 miles just to clear and debris from break-in.I took a trip about 50 miles there and 50 miles back with no issues, just an oil leak ever since i got the motor built...

Well, ive had too many problems with this motor and this is another problem that is just in the back of my head now.Well, i have an oil pan leak so i dropped my oil pan to reseal it.Drained oil and it all looked great, no silver shimmering or anythingPulled the pan off and then...

Well, my cars been acting strange lately and ive been really getting on edge about this thing.Randomly my car started sucking at dle. 500-600 rpm idle Runs at about 10-11.7 afr at idle My throttle when i let off the gas in 5th gear sticks because instead of my wideband going very lean and...

Well, I have 200 miles on a new motor after the oil leaks were somewhat fixed enough to not worry about yet.The problem just sort of started a month ago @ 25 miles.At first when the engine was dropped in and the wideband installed, The car ran at 14.8 afr at idle and -18 vac at idle, it...

:hellyeah:Well, i had a fresh motor put in, but reflecting the work done (not by me) I am going to need/want a new motor in at least 6 months.I was introduced to a stroker by a member on here named twicks, watched his vids and love his beastly 2.3. But, I want this just for a DD/ WW...

Well, I posted this before with good answers, but it seems I still have a question about the timing with the 1G Cas.Heres what I did to time it, just want to make sure im not messing around with too much timing advance because I don't have a logger ATM. I crunched it in my car door before...

Ok, i am going to be as Descriptive as possible so this thread may be a little long.Yes, this is a brand new motor built by a "reliable" company and vendor on this forum.I have NOT done any leak down tests or and Compression tests as there is only 62 miles on this motor.Well, all my...

Well, I had a thread going talking about a great opportunity I had to go and work for some a energy company, well It turns out I got layed off anyways so I had to find new work.Can anyone that fills out a 1099 form help me at all??I file single, and no exemptions. My dad also claims me...

I just sort of noticed this, but my aem wb02 has a fluctuating idle afr.Ill start it up once a day, the idle will sit at 14.7 all the way till my car warms up, ill drive around and come back home, then it will sit and idle at 12.1....But when i take a drive while my idle afr is 12.1, the...

Well as the title states, I think i may have tranny fluid leak.When i dropped in a new motor a month ago, I noticed that one of my tranny axles seals was a little ripped up, like a little cut up. Didn't really think much of it because I didnt know how bad that could affect anything.Well...

Well, this car has been such a nightmare from the beginning of my build. The build was finally over and I started driving around and tweaking little problems, like an exhaust leak and etc..Well, I parked my car after me and my buddy went for a 15-20 min cruise just to keep breaking it in...

Well, The car has a 190 fuel pump, and for some reason the past week I got the car running, I never noticed a hiss from the Fuel pump/tank area until yesterday, with the car running only it sounds like a tire leaking air, so I thought exhaust leak and felt around, but my ehaust is all brand new...

Well....Im finally starting to break in my car to make it more daily drivable, having some issues right off the bat..Well, after letting it idle and driving it around my townhouse complex, I finally took it out on the road.....I pulled out onto a 45mph street right out of my complex and...

I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys to see what your opinion is about this job opportunity that I was given and If i should take it.Lately, Ive been going to college, just got done putting close to $6000 into my car, cash is about dried up, and my work (CAD Operator/Drafter) is...

Ive just installed an Aem Eugo wideband...Well, the install went smooth, good power source and ground.I made sure the calibration dial was set on Gasoline which equals 14.6 stoich or some crap for gasoline. Well, I ran the car, it sat at 14.5 at idle fully warmed up, I revved the car and...

Well, my 6-bolt motor, 7-bolt head, and 7-bolt modded oil pump was just finished by the DSM graveyard. I will contact them tomorrow about this but maybe some insight may help.I had the motor for over 3 weeks, assembled, rebought missing parts, ordered other parts to make this swap possible...

Well my motor is installed, fluids are pumping, after i got done priming the pump, I went to start the car, and no spark......Well I have a 6-bolt swap, 7-bolt head, 1G Hall effect CAS.The CAS is correct for TDC. I also rotated it and still no spark.The CAS is wired correctly, was...

I have my car finally together, i will start it as soon as this question is answered, ill get a timing light too, but that doesn't help completly because i dont have a logger or anything. So, on MY 1G CAS there is a bolt mark/depression that was made from the factory line (Im Assuming, although...
