    Speedometer Fix

    Its not uncommon for either the upper or lower section to fail. The easy test is to disconnect the input on the passenger side of the transmission, and disconnect the short cable from the long section. Check to make sure that spinning the input side of the short section results in spinning at...

    89 7MGTE | time machine restoration, "build".Highly motivated with no time or energy

    Make sure they know about the front plug- it has to be dimpled dead center in order to make it expand and seal the circumference. I expect that they're familiar, but it doesnt hurt to check.

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3,...NOW FOUR!

    Did a little welding on the dp, but found that i have to replace the wastegate port. The wall thickness needs to be larger. So, i just mounted my boost solenoid.

    STUMBLE on acceleration!! Vid inside, tried everything

    I will agree that a GM MAF isn't as sensitive as the kharman system, but I would submit that I did use a MAFT for 6 years, without a single hiccup. Very smooth idle, very quick response, super easy to set up and no appreciable change in fuel economy. Just- for what it is and what it costs, it's...

    7m-gte build options

    It doesn't take much hacking to put in an FMIC and route pipes across from the far side. But what you gain in smoother turns/ transitions, you make up for in pipe length. I had an FFIC setup where the turbo feed went down then across the front of the car, just behind the IC. Then the return...

    High hp guys - how are you installing your flywheel bolts?

    My craftsman torque wrench went out of whack, and would torque past 100ft-lbs when set to 30. Found out that getting it calibrated would cost as much as a new digital wrench, so guess what i did...

    Metal Head Gasket and Torque Specs

    Not sure if you were asking if you could use an MHG without surfacing the block. If you were, then no. Have the shop deck the block with a fresh cutting bit, so you get a very smooth surface. And have the lower rear timing cover installed on the block when it's done. The cover must be shave as...

    Where do these plugs go?

    That one is just a tie-in ground from the tranny to the body. I think the wire is black with yellow strip for that.

    Hmm. Sounds vaguely familiar... Never seen on of those "RA comparator" tools, very cool. LOL at the belt sander criteria. PS- Don't go with a lightened crank pulley.

    You're splitting hairs about the gasket. Either one will do you just as well. As for pumps, I'd say go with Walbro. It's reliable, and it's cheap. Nothing wrong with the AEM, though one person did mention that it didn't quite fit the stock pump hanger.
