Hmm that almost sounds more like a knocking. Check your crankshaft pulley bolt (at the very front of the crank) and make sure it is tight.

You can recirculate a lot of the larger BOV's, just need to be a little creative with the routing.

Ah ok. I think I read the info in one of the Autoshop 101 articles a little while back, but it must not pertain to all vehicles/models. Thanks for the precise info yet again 3p. And radiod, I believe advancing timing actually reduces engine temperature (to a point) and retarding has the opposite...

Doesn't the ECU actually advance the timing at idle to help cool things down, and retard off idle to prevent detonation when there is an overtemp situation?

Good point. Unfortunately my heater core decided to take a piss on my carpet about 2 weeks ago, so even if it was Christmas I would still be screwed. :P

Very hard to tell from your pics but it looks like you have the ECU ground hooked up to the starter positive terminal! :yikes: That bunch of wires on the eyelet needs to be bolted to the intake manifold, and you need a big positive cable coming directly from B+ to the starter stud. That...

Mmm like Christmas day:). New OEM evaporator and condenser. The 86.5 evap was no longer available so I took the risk and bought the 88 version, which appears to be exactly the same fitment wise. Looks like they changed the material to different aluminum or something (new one is silver, old one...

Also typical of an exhaust leak. As the metal heats up it expands and seals up minor leaks. Places to check would be manifold to head gasket, manifold to turbo, turbo to elbow, elbow to downpipe, o2 sensor, egr cooler (back of the head), and the egr valve on the intake side. Theres quite a few...

This is the point I have been trying to defend, looks like we were somewhat on the same page all along. If set up with these Y's, and the full flow filter was replaced with a strait through line aka no restriction (basically what I drew), all flow would go through the half of the Y with nearly 0...

The next tool you need to add to your list ;)

Oh boy now you got me real confused! I was attempting to make a point because I was almost certain that the configuration in this pic would not work! Hey we are narrowing down onto what I fail to understand I guess! I fail to see how this picture is exactly the configuration if you simply...

Thanks for the long explanation, I can see now the electrical reference doesn't really work. I think the issue is that I was thinking of the Trasko as a set restriction, one that cannot change. I'm still a little confused on how the valve in the Trasko works, I will re read your post a few...

Hey Jdub thank you for the explanation. Some things that still confuse me here, hopefully you can understand where my confusion is. Now I may be missing something extremely simple here (most likely) but regardless it would be nice to know what it is I am missing. I drew a couple pics (yes I had...

Sounds like you've got an exhaust leak. Fix that stud, change the gasket with an OEM manifold gasket, and go from there!

How much of a pressure drop does a standard full flow filter have? Only reason I ask is because I am still confused how the trasko works with a dual filter head. I assume the full flow would drop less pressure than the trasko (may be wrong). For example if at 80 PSI, the full flow dropped 3 PSI...

Skip to around 2:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0gE0D95gOA Granted it is a 2j but I bet the 7m was no different.

What's the advantage of using the trasko as a bypass only filter? I always thought that the bypass element in it was pretty small, wouldn't a full dedicated bypass filter be a better option considering it will already have a full flow?

God damn...I just learn this after 4 years on here. Thank you!

Very nice!

WHAT! No more tachometer?!
