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

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. :thumb:
 
around 50psi on the interstate and after reaching correct operating temp. I idle at about 15psi or so.
 
Is that your pressure at idle when first starting up, do you let the car get warm and see how much it goes down?
 
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.
 
hmmmm. to have Boost and not use it? Thats willpower. Stay strong and finish breaking in the motor. :thumb:

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.
