    Code 51, Idle at 3K rpm, TPS?

    I had similar issues...turned out the water temp sensor connection was shorting (2 wires touching at the sensor) thus shorting out the circuit...which includes the TPS and will throw a code 51. The TPS is kind of a pain to install/calibrate...I would check other things first. There is a way to...

    Smoke, smells, suggestions to where to start trouble shooting?

    I will check this while I'm checking for oil infront of the turbo intake side. Good suggestion.

    Smoke, smells, suggestions to where to start trouble shooting?

    Update: Oil level looks fine. Last changed...about 300 miles ago. Drove it around, seems to drive normal...power feels good...a/f looks fine under all conditions. I take it the only way to check this is by pulling the injectors?

    Smoke, smells, suggestions to where to start trouble shooting?

    Today, I took the car out for a spin with a friend. Did a couple 50 to 120 pulls. I started so smell something funkie, but all gauges were okay, so I just drove casually back home. Car sat for about an hour, I got back in it, started it up and backed it up...to my surprise through a cloud of...

    Power etstimation on my 7m-gte?

    Just to clarify...I didn't necessarily mean redo the piping....just the accordian hose thing. If the goal is to keep the piping...you'll probably have to consider keeping it the way it is...or getting rid of the afm and using piggybacks to replace it so that you can shorten the hose to where the...

    Power etstimation on my 7m-gte?

    When I had an AFM, I had the K&N filter directly fitted to the afm housing. The IC piping is 2.5in and follows the stock flow pattern. Here is a closer pic of the engine bay before I upgraded my turbo and went with a VPC eliminating the afm. If you need more detailed photos...I could try and get...

    Power etstimation on my 7m-gte?

    I don't think 350 w/o tuning. You will be easy with tuning though. I'd guess 300rwhp.....maybe 310 I've never had a problem with my K&N with almost 30k miles on it. Just have to clean it regularly... The apexi/aem filters are great as well... ...either way just redo the "piping"

    Power etstimation on my 7m-gte?

    I would get rid of the accordian and start over...just IMO. Get a K&N and put it right on the AFM and be done with it.

    Summer Daily Driver Build

    Your body kit is very close to what I'm looking for. Do you have a direct shot of the front? I'm not sold on the bumper...I like the look of the stock 89+ grill. But if it shows of the IC nicely, I might consider it. How much was it. If you need to PM me no biggie. Thanks man.

    Hello all!

    Goodluck with the build. You're going to want to probably go straight to fuel upgrades, engine management and a T4 turbo if you want to do it the most cost effective ways. There are other options in between..it depends if you want to do it in stages, or save some money and go right for the big...

    Yup...you could get a boost controller at any point...with intake/exhaust I was boosting 9/10psi (off stock gauge) so...in my case it wasn't necessary. Every car is different.
