Total I think we have 2 Trucks 3 if you consider a ranger a real truck. 2 mustangs, 89 & 67, 2 supras (me and my bros). The caddy (moms car), a POS sable, The benz, a 66 merc park lane and the comet (me and my bro again) so 16 in all, ya we should start a car lot. 9 out of 12 run which is what...

I found my self adding coolent occosionaly but didnt think much of it( or didnt want to think about it) Finally a month or two after I first noticed I ran a compression check. It came out 200,190,200,195,192,200 I was pretty happy with this. Then I ran the leak down test. Cylinder 1, 150psi and...

This morning I retorqued my head to 70, just to see what if would do. Ran the leak down again; 1-still holding, 2-still holding, 3-still holding, 4-now holding, 5- still leaking but slower, 6-now holding. So it sealed 2 of the three cylinders but 5 is still leaking. its slow enough It would...

So I ran a compression check today came out 200,190,200,195,192,200 I was pretty happy with this. Then I ran the leak down test. Cylinder 1, 150psi and holding. 2 holding, 3 holding, 4......shit! ::bhg::. 5 & 6 the same. Its a pretty slow leak through all 3 cylinders and I know the head was...

Have any of you used one of the do it yourself lapping or wetsanding kits for your cylinder head? Im getting ready to replace a blown head gasket but none of the local shops can achieve the RA value needed. Or have can even measure their RA. I have one guy who builds racing engines, and uses...

I get the hoot at the end as it closes but it flutters before, and ya I blew through it to check it before I installed it.

no it just flutters louder, but then again Im only hitting 4-5 psi since my cat is plugged(till tomarow that is). Maybe Its just not enough to open it all the way?

I swapted out my stock BOV for a bosch the other day, It wasnt a 110 like I wanted but I picked it up for $10. Its a 103 and came off an almost new porsche so I figured it had to be decent. When It dumps I get what sounds like compressor surge even if im going easy and my turbo isnt spooled all...

Well for now Im leaving the ct-26 in there as it has no shaft play but I would love to upgrade my spare to a 57 in the future. Shes just going to be a street car with some balls and I would like to keep all the low end I can. So maybe 2" or 2.25 is the way to go for now. The out put on the ct is...

Its good to know but Im a little dissapointed that 2.5 would actually do more harm than good:icon_frow I already picked up a few pieces to start working out my set up

I just picked up spearco and plan on running all new IC pipe on my 89 in the near future. I recalled the sticky about flow rates in the 7m. I figured I's see if my plans to go to 2.5 were on par. The numbers were not what I expected. You want to be pulling a velocity of 300fps in the main part...

How much of a restriction do the stock mufflers and stock elbow cause? I do have an RT cat laying around here somewhere that I will throw in when I my downpipe is done. Hopefully I can pick up a 3 in elbow soon to go on as well, but the way it looks now, I will be running with the stock elbow...

Not that I dislike germans, just my buddy and his obbsession with Beamers. So hes had this 93 or 94 325 4d for a while now and he thinks its the shit. I will admit it makes pretty good low end torque and he can easlily break the tires loose going in to second and even a bit in third. My other...

negative, but Im building one as we speak. So theres a good chance its my exhaust? First cat probably. I didnt think exhaust could choke it bad enough to limit me to 4-5 psi

I doubt its a problem due to not bleading enough I dont think I could blead any more if I just pulled the hoses off! Could my factory exhaust be choking my turbo too much for it to spool any higher?

Sorry to hijack this case closed thread but It makes more sense than starting a new one. I,v done just about everything I can think off to seek out a similar problem. Boost leak check, turbo has minimal shaft play and no smoke. I shimmed the waste gate about 1/8th of an inch today and on top of...

Interested to hear what you find I have the same problem:(. I checked for boost leaks with a homemade tester. I cant blow through my stock bpv. No smoke and turbo spins freely with minimal shaft play. Home made MBC will put me up to five with pressure to the actuator completly closed off. I do...

simple enough! my timing light clips around the wire so it really made no difference so that never occured to me. Well still stuck at 5 degrees! :icon_mad: I will more than likely take the cps out and fully reset it. However I still see no indication that this is going to do anything. So has...

Iv also been wondering why did they have to go with the #6 plug to check timeing? Relation of the dual overhead cams???

ya Iv jumped it every time from the get go. Checked my codes and had a 24 but I think it was due to the fact that I started the car one time and forgot to reconect the AFM plug. I reset it and took it for a drive and as of now I have no codes and my timing is still off. Any ideas guys? bad cps...
