so got in all in, one thing i got the portfueler all hooked up but i was just woundering if everyone elses studs are short like after putting 2 gaskets on and the spacer and the stock intake manifold, the studs that hahn provided really are kinda short. only got a little thread at the end!

 

[cyrez187]

alright everything all done and damn she looks SEXY!! gonna fire her up tomorrow, ill post some pics asap

 

[cyrez187]

ok so almost got her started, im just not getting any spark! anyone have an ideas?

Double check all your wiring you must have missed something small. Make sure yu didnt mix up the coil and speed sensor wires.

ya i dont think i forgot any plugs, ive checked several times, but ya i have herd those 2 plugs are the exact same. anyone have pictures of them or where they are?

 

[XMasta19]

Coil wire goes to the coil pack on top of the valve cover. Speed sensor is on top of the tranny by the rear mount near the firewall. They're both the three round pin connectors, assuming you still have 95 wiring.

 

[cyrez187]

well guys im glad to say that everything is perfect and running good.
ill get some pics posted asap!

hey what u guys getting for oil pressure?

 

[4UH8ERS]

around 50psi on the interstate and after reaching correct operating temp. I idle at about 15psi or so.

 

[cyrez187]

hmmm my idle is around 55 and when im driving about 75 or even sometimes 90.
is this bad or anything?

 

[cyrez187]

why is my oil pressure so high?

 

[XMasta19]

Is that your pressure at idle when first starting up, do you let the car get warm and see how much it goes down?

 

[cyrez187]

ya it goes down eventually, how long should i be waiting for it to warm up?
but when im driving or under load its like around 75 or more, just woundering if this is bad or anything?

 

[cyrez187]

alright so just over 1000kms on new engine, think i can throw in full synthetic and start boostin now?

 

[BigRand]

Just start boosting on conventional oil first....give it another 1000 clicks before you start running synthetic. Thats not really that long at all.


I waited 1500-2000miles before switching back to synthetic, I know a lot of the synthetic oils have gotten better, but I'd rather be safe then sorry.

 

[DSMcrazy3]

Definitely listen to Randy. 1000km definitely isn't 1000 miles. I don't want to see this thing to to waste!!! Be patient my friend.

 

[4UH8ERS]

hmmmm. to have Boost and not use it? Thats willpower. Stay strong and finish breaking in the motor.

 

[cyrez187]

so another 1000kms before i can boost and run full synthetic?

 

[DSMcrazy3]

hmmmm. to have Boost and not use it? Thats willpower. Stay strong and finish breaking in the motor.

Actually, it's called taking the wastegate actuator off.. Makes it much easier!

 

[4UH8ERS]

yes indeed much easier

 

[BigRand]

so another 1000kms before i can boost and run full synthetic?

Correct and I'd wait that long to start boosting as well.

But your gonna want to boost a little bit on conventional oil, so when your hitting the high rpms you know that your rings have truely sealed.

So personally I'd wait till about 1500miles, which I believe is about 3000 clicks, but starting boosting around 2000 clicks.

I believe my calculations are correct, I used to live up in Canada (toronto). By the way I'm thinking about takign a road trip up there sometime to B.C. U should show me where the local dsm's hang out.

 

[cyrez187]

ya man forsure anytime, my friend and mechanics keep telling me 1000kms to break motor in
