    Leaky HKS SSQV

    My SSQV (2nd gen) authentic HKS is leaking quite a bit of air during a pressure test out of the front vent. Is the common cause dirt or other? ie part failure. I attempted to disassemble however, HKS' brilliant idea to use allen bolts backfired as most smaller Allen bolts seem to, and...

    Need to retorque the head with used ARP's?

    Just what the title says. I know new ARP head studs will elongate the first time around, but given these are used, would a re-torque be advised or just unnecessary? 'Rebuld' Update: Car just started for the first time tonight. Full flow oil system took awhile to get all the kinks (fitment...

    This port under (oil) pressure on the block? (pic)

    Just wondering if this port is under oil pressure. I have suspicions that my e-gauge is inaccurate when hot so i'd like to tap into it for a permanent mechanical gauge to be mounted at the firewall. I found this already posted by IJ however this port is not even in the picture at all. I don't...

    Head's off. ARP Studs finger loose (block side), proper torque? (progress pics too)

    Some of the ARP main studs are finger loose after removing the head. All the nuts were very tight when removing. Question is, what torque should I be applying to get them tight again? I assume this is what the allen wrench holes are for in the top of the studs? Should thread lock be used...

    replacing REAR timing cover gasket preparation

    Its that time of year again where I have really random bad luck with the car. At least this year I don't have to replace the chassis, first time in 3 years :naughty:. No, this year its the rear timing cover gasket. Decided to slowly leak coolant (originally thought to be water pump gasket), now...

    Anybody use DDWRT? Need some guidance.

    I've had the WNDR3700 since the first month it came out. Its main purpose was for media server capabilities. Well due to the companies mega failure of firmware, its nearly impossible. I switched over to a beta DDWRT. Its causing many people problems, so far not too many for me except I can't use...

    What is going on with these ZT-2 output readings?

    Went in the car to finallllllly tune a bit today. Everything seemed to work for awhile while it was cold and idling then i noticed this: Is this because of a bad driver? Its connected via USB to a WIN7 machine. This is my first thought, just incompatability, but if not, happen to anyone...

    I'm helping a guy troubleshoot, purchase, and setup new computers and a network at home for his business and personal needs. I already gave him to quotes on computers I could build for him but not sure what to charge for all these small things as well including installing memory for a couple...

    zt-2 and the iphone

    I've been looking for a long time, a program like pocketlogger for the iphone. I came across one program in its early stages with supposed support (or at least mention of it) for the iphone called mitsulogger aka unilogger. I cannot find a dl so i'm not sure how it works. I signed up for the...

    main, White fuse box wire.

    Well if you saw my last thread you'd know my car "tried to kill me". Well it turned back on about 2 seconds after I lost control only to regain when it turned back on. After getting to my car a couple days later it still started and ran. I popped the hood after I dug my car out. The white main...

    My car tried to kill me tonight. Stranded in Maryland. (main power wire disconnected)

    So if you've watched the weather AT ALL in the US, you'd know about this 'huge' storm passing through the northeast. Well I'm in the middle of it attempting to get home tonight. We tried to beat it. It beat us, so now my gf and i are stuck in Maryland in a comfort inn. I lost control a few times...

    Mystery Tap/knock. Video, can you identify?

    This problem has been a long time running. The past few months I haven't noticed it at all. GaboonViper85 (tyler) knew it was a concern of mine when tranferring the engine to a new body but saw no metal shavings linking to any type of early rod knock. My head was rebuild with the engine about...

    Stranded Emergency Help: Starter turns over by itself??

    This is not for me. Buddy (also a member on here) is stranded and he's telling me his starter turns over by itself. Its a 91 Auto 7MGTE. He rewired his car to be push start over a year ago. I asked him to check that and he said everything is fine. According to him the starter just keeps...

    Wiring problem. What am I not seeing/doing correctly?

    I have an 89 with pre89 mounts (square). So I believe the chassis wiring is the same as pre89 so the schematic below may or may not be entirely accurate. I am rewiring the fog lights to turn on with the dash lights (w/o the headlights on) but so the button still functions. I have a 1988 TSRM...

    Boost sensor and resistor nearby

    EDIT: Wondering what the solenoid/resistor attached was for and if it could be removed. Answer found: realized it wasn't on the body chassis harness.

    New player in the non-existent ultra high MPG PERFORMANCE(!) world.

    Just got this email since i worked with a special group in school and they are recruiting. Thought it was interesting as i've never heard of the company. This was not marked confidential in anyway so I take that as its ok to publish. Though they did say they wanted to stay below radar before...

    Just found a life saver or rather a back/neck saver.

    I don't know about you guys but I always get a thin white film over time on the inside of my windshield. Try to clean it with glass cleaner and paper towels and it will make it a million times worse unless you do it 10 times. Its back breaking. Well i just saw an add for this on late night TV...

    Clarification on Vf signal and tuning.

    I understand the voltage steps with the Vf signal. ~2.5V is where the ECU is 'happy' and not pulling or adding fuel. My question is lets assume you are tuning for part throttle boost with some type of SAFC or something similar. Part throttle is much harder to tune since the ECU is still making...
