I've got some spare time and 2 spare turbos. I want to rebuild them both for the learning experience. one is going to be a stock rebuild, the other a 50 or 57 trim. the problem~ is the p/n for the 57 trim 30377t/ 50 trim 30375t by turbonetics?

okay, leak-down test done. cyl #1 is leaking through air to my intake and into the pan. cyl #5 isn't leaking, or loosing pressure now. but, cyl# 4 is leaking through intake. could i have used too thick of a shim on cylinders 1 & 4? could i be loosing pressure in cyl # 5 when shims are...

yes. used spray hylomar. works great. i just need to figure out where the oil is coming from, thats causing it to burn. one part of me feels it could be the rings, but i don't think thats the complete problem. could i have cracked the head?

yeah, they loosened down to 80ft-lbs roughly. retorque was done a week and a half ago.

yeah, i can see about doing a leak down test this week end. I've been driving the car for a few weeks now. roughly put on 1300 miles. has arp head studs set at 90ft-lbs. copper crushed thickness of .050

can i loosen the belt and undeform it?

uh, what do you mean?

warm engine not quite to full temp. i used a pressure tester that goes where the radiator cap does. you pressurize the cooling system then crank it. if water is leaking into a cylinder, it will shoot out of the plug hole like a water fountain. I'm running a copper head gasket with a steel...

I was enjoying a nice drive to work when i noticed my oil pressure was below normal. so i put some oil in and drive off to work again. 2 blocks from the auto part store the car begins to buck and starts to smoke. Like a chimney. i pull over check to see if theres pressure in the coolant...

I had a tiburon and don't think it will hold up very well. I bought mine with 7k miles on it. went through a tranny at 20k miles and blew up the motor at 48k. when i say blew up, I mean 3 rods shattered into shrapnel embedded into the block. Hyundai is getting better not by luck, but they...

we've recently received a cold draft these past few days and car is a pain to start. I never worried about it before because its usually warm here. it turned out to be the 2nd knock sensor wasn't connected. wire had frayed and wasn't making contact. runs great now.

well I'll be a monkeys @rse. i get a fluttering like a rev limiter at 2k rpm, but i think its the harness. did it once, will be changing the fouled out plugs and inspecting the rest of the harness.

repaired 2nd o2 sensor, had become severed from harness. won't be able to drive till this evening, am low on gas.

checked my codes, 1st time around i had way too many. cleared them, drove around and checked again. I'm getting the water temp(i expected that one) and #52 knock sensor. would the knock sensor kill off my power over 4k rpm?

car starts, has a rough idle for the first minute when i don't start it for a few hours(overnight). once on, idles fine. while pretty much cold i can drive off and the car feels good in 1st and some of second. as i start to hit 4k in 3rd and 4th, it doesn't pull as hard. I can also notice...

One of the problems i ran into while putting my car back together was the cps to harness connector. the prongs themselves were slipping out not making contact. sometimes it would start, other times it wouldn't. I killed 2 batteries (constantly draining & recharging) doing this.

I pressurized the system up to 7psi and heard a small hiss. I cranked it up to 20psi and it showed its' self. the throttle body to 3k pipe just gave way. It appeared to be a line in the molding. I replaced it and tried again. for kicks, I cranked it up to 40psi and no leaks. It has minor...

On the drive to my dad's place this morning I got a huge clue that its a boost leak. I've never, ever been able to get 7psi @ 2k rpm in first gear. I've never had a boost leak like this before, so it sounds like i should replace all the pipes and couplers.

my dads gets 5mpg on a good day. I tightened up everything again, but will do a pressure test in the morning.

off boost cruising no. if i give it more than half throttle it begins to peg rich as soon as boost kicks in.
