Did you initially install the front main seal?

I'm impressed too, considering that those ZL1's are rated at 580hp ad 556lb/ft of torque. I'm really curious to see what your set up is going to net. Sounds promising.

^^^ Reminds me one time I saw a Dodge neon rental car stomping the competition. It was automatic at that. All of the "real" sports car guys had no comments to make that day. Every time the Neon would stage it would draw a crowd. Then when they'd announce his time everybody would cheer with...

It seems like this manifold mounts the turbo further forward. Makes for more room for the downpipe. Also, they show their turbo with an S cover turbo mounted without any spacers and it clears the manifold. That's cool. I do like how it's thicker gauge tubing, but it's not the tubing that...

When I was installing the MAPECU I was working with one of the techs online trying to figure out how to get a signal. He had me tap into IGF, and IGT. I then came here to ask you guys and someone mentioned getting the signal from the diagnostic block. I did, and it worked. I didn't try to get it...

I remember when I installed my MAPECU I tried getting an rpm signal from IGF with no success. I ended up tapping into the rpm signal from the diagnostic block under the hood. I have a 1991 ecu.

You mechanic that's telling you this... did he originally install the front main seal?

Will do. I'll call you in a little bit. Hey, has anybody heard from David lately? Ever since he got that motorcycle he's forgotten about Supra guys.

Still tuning around the voltage switch. I'll let you know when I head to the track. I need to get some spare rims to mount my drag radials on. I have two coworkers that are willing to lend me some rims, but I want to get my own. I don't want to pay to have them mounted only to pay again to take...

Ok I leaned out the 10.2's area to a good 11.3's region. Now I have some 12.2's in the upper range that I need to tone down into the mid 11 region. I might work on that in the next couple of days. I'm running 17psi on this small Borg Warner turbo. Low 12 afr's isn't all that bad, but to close...

Does that catch can have a one way check valve, and you possibly hooked it up wrong? Why don't you do a leak down test? Just to rule out if it's severe blow by past your pistons? If you just put this motor together that would be important information to know.

Sorry, didn't see your post. I didn't go out after all. Ended up doing some family stuff for the rest of the day. I might go out a little today just to do some tuning. Most of my map on boost is too rich. I need to lean it out a bit.

Now that was funny. But I'm sensing sarcasm in your post as well. The last time you posted about this I advised you to do a leakdown test. What were your results? Did you even do the test? Sorry, disregard. I was thinking about the wrong person. It was Sebas that had the same issue as you...

Bummed out this morning. I was planning on hitting the hill country for a nice little drive but it's raining. I could still go and drive slower, but I wanted to touch up my tune and that requires some WOT pulls. Can't do that on wet streets. I'll definitely be out tomorrow though. I'm just...

I would think so too. Do it!

It's expensive to keep tems. I know mine have been blown, but I don't have the coin to replace with tems compatible shocks.

I hope you payed by credit card and they have some kind of consumer protection against shit like this. If you did, contact you CC company and tell them what they did and demand a refund. Then get with the shop manager and see about them making the wrongs right. If you payed by check I would...

About the paint from factory being single stage I might be a little wrong about all of them not having clear. I think the metallic paints and the pearl white may have been a two stage paint with clearcoat. Not positive, but I'll need to check more into that. But your solid colors were single...

Looks good Evan. None of the MKIII's came with clearcoat from the factory. At least the last time I checked the Dupont book at the paint store they listed single stage paints for all MKIII's. They were all coated in polyurethane enamel single stage paint jobs. I'm not exactly sure of what...

I know what you guys are thinking, "why didn't I invite anybody to come." Easy, I left my house @ 0635 and I seriously doubt anybody would want to go out there that early. So don't hate.
