Are there any guys out here interested in a job?

I have a postiton open as a GSE Technician working on industrial equipment at the Little Rock airport. If any local guys interested send me a PM with a number and I can give you a call and discuss the details.

Text me about the pay/hours and ill spread the word at work. Many people are part-time Air Force and may want it.

Well...the death of an engine. 0 compression in cylinder 3, pulling it soon, if the block is ok I am rebuilding to sustain 30 psi dd....Will be a long project

 

[Chad1993]

Won't be long for me

 

[ManticSHadow]

So I realise why I couldnt get my new u joint to work turns out one of the needle bearing fell and was just smashing against the end cap so in a fit of annoyed rage I dropped the 300 on the jnz full rebuild kit for the drive shaft with the torque solutions carrier bearing mounts while I wait on that im gonna get this driveshaft cleaned up pretty! Also take apart the transfer case to give it an updated gasket seal then clean it and paint. Amazing how every little break in this project has turned into a full on detail

After spending the weekend under the car I can see the subframe being next after bushing install.

Set that feed line out of the fray please. I need it.

Seems we're all under our cars the last few days. For the love of the DSM god, don't tell me your subframe is rusted all to hell, I had that happen on a 240sx back when I was drifting all the time... I've found anything to deal with the subframe is a priority job.

I just finished cleaning, installing new seals and painting the transfer case to go with the sexy transmission. The UICP has been a bi***, more so then getting the trans in and let me tell ya, NOT something I want to do again. I'm happy my drivesaft is new... well, about six years old but only maybe 100 miles after install so it's stupid clean.

The brotherly love discount does not apply to that line. I payed 80 buck to have it made so i have to get the $30 for it.... If it was anything else in the box you could of had it for free.

 

[Chad1993]

Motor getting yanked tomorrow. Thought you guys should know .

Hillala, I like the way your plug wires go over the valve cover. Is it modified like that, or do you just spin the wires upward?

I don't need it that bad. Put it on the classifieds. I could really come and go with these cars ATM.

Can buy a line cheaper than that, the only difference is, it isn't flexible.

It is already there trust me. I can't just give it away for what I payed for it. If it never sells I can always use it on a future project. I've had this line over almost a year and it's not hurting me to hang on to it. Thought i would offer it to someone who needs a good quality SS braided line. The length is why it cost me so much.

Thanks man, I just moved the wires upward and they run across the fuel line on some brackets I made, about to relocate the coilpack as well so I guess you can say it's modified, .

They looked like crap bunched together on the valve cover with the stock look and I don't really care for the cover that bolts up. I think it's the best look to go with until I get a coil-plug set.

 

[ManticSHadow]

Its just surface rust but I dont like any cancer

 

[Hillala]

I don't blame ya, man. I have some surface rust under my hood where I had to cut some for my front mount. I'm getting it cleaned up now that i'm getting everything back together.

 

[Chad1993]

Awesome, I may end up doing that, or like you said and get the COP setup. My cousin has it and it looks bad ace.

Because it's awesome!!!! No actually IDK on that one. Do you think you will be installing the 16G this weekend? If you are I am already bailing out on you now just to let you know. I got to fly to SDF(louisville KY) to Pick up my new work truck. I leave saturday morning 6 AM and don't get home till around the 10 PM or later mark. Sorry buddy .....

AJ,
I spoke to Harold and I think he might be what I'm looking for. I am waiting on his application to review it but things are looking promising.

[QUOTECan someone tell me why this housing has this notch in the middle. Its the one that came on the turbo. I have a new one coming[/QUOTE]

This is very good thing. It help keep the flap from opening at high boost pressure.

I did exact same thing to my 16g turbine housing.

By cutting a notch between the dividers, it allows the exhaust gas to come in and create a pressure on the other side of the turbine. This helps equalize the pressure between the flapper. With equalize force, it allows the springs in the waste gate to do it job of holding the flap shut better.

Holset, and Borwarner turbos use the same concept in all their internal gated turbos. Nothing new.

Im suprise nobody knows about this concept or has adapt it to their 16g's or other internal gated turbos. Boost spikes is one of the result of not having this done to the turbine housing. I would even open that notch a little bit wider to allow more gas in. Ill post a pic of how mine is done.

Well seems like a good thing! The whole thing is covered in cracks BAD so I ordered a whole brand new hotside. Thanks for clearing it up for me!

Looks like you have your hands full! Wish you were a bit closer, id help

 

[Styxyr]

Well. Got my head off and idk why it started running the way it did...head seemed good, head gasket was good and block so far looks in decent condition. Little notch in cylinder 4 but it wouldn't have ran like it did with that. Gonna pull the block now and see if I find anything else wrong. Any input?

 

[Chad1993]

Does anybody recognize the car yet? Lol

Nobody hasn't said anything

I have some help, but thanks man.

 

[DSMBanditFZ6]

Luke, how did your car react when you had the oil pump balance shaft out of phase?
