Hehe it reads more like a technical document than a history paper :D. I have no idea what this is. Am I missing something, this sounds like what the vr-4 3000gts have. Or maybe I'm just dumb.

That thing is massive, easier said than done. I'd guess putting it where the AC condenser goes.

It's still not running at full potential, there are a couple issues to work out, but it hasn't blown up yet. Apparently it ate 3 quarts of oil in 700 miles. Still don't know where they went. It's definetly a great starting point, the paint is in real nice shape, piles of old dealer receipts...

Got a couple pictures snapped today. Tomorrow I need to take a few more. Need to get some more zoomed in to show the hood compared to how it used to look. Lots of wetsanding and re-clearning revitalized the hood/roof. First off is comparison to the old faded bumper, and after some...

Advance Auto wanted about the same and it would be like a 3 week wait, forget that we took our chances at the boneyard. It's probably not as common anymore but usually there are starter/alternator type shops around that will rebuild your armatures and whatnot for cheap.

Yes the number is stamped on the passenger lock cylinder. If you take off the door skin, the lock should just be held in by 1 10mm bolt.

No, the reason people run it is because it has a wider valley for unmetered air. I suggest you research this further before putting it in your car. The electronics, honeycomb, etc are all the same.

I can't decide if that's a good idea or a bad one.....

The accordian hose will fit over it just like the factory AFM, it may require a little stretching though. Same dimensions as the factory AFM so the intake kit for the 7m works fine.

This just happened to us on a 7m install last week. I was very confused. The car idles, but is still having timing issues, and this makes it much more complicated. I think we will have to move the CPS a tooth off of where it is supposed to be to get 10btdc.

I thought they were trying to get air ride so it could be set up for racing and whatnot? As mentioned it can be fully adjustable like coilovers. Not saying I would put it on my car, just saying there is more to the technology than lowriders.

The valve should only pass air after you let off the throttle, ie. when vaccum is created on the small line. As toby said no air should ass through when there is no vaccum, ie. anytime the throttle plate is open. The path described is correct, when you let off the throttle the air from the 3000...

Pssh I pull plug wires to diagnos ignition problems all the time. The only time I get zapped is if a wire has a ripped spot and it arcs into me.

Yeah I was surprised too, 500 mile engine still has valvetrain noise. Of course the rest of it is dead silent.

After I repaired rodknock I can hear this ticking now too. I guess the knock overpowered it before. My buddies new 7m has it as well, so its probably pretty common. Just stick your head next to the cylinder head, you will defintely be able to tell if its coming from valve lash. Re-doing the...

I just installed a wideband on top of my SAFC. I soldered into the SAFC wires because there wasn't much meat left on the ECU side anyway. I didn't think twice about it, I don't see why it would give any problems. If you start connecting too many things I'm sure you'd need an amp or something to...

Haha yeah, I barely got the thing running for that meet. I was pretty embarassed of the condition of the rest of the car. Soon its looks will match the powa!

Turn up the boost! Of course relaibility is another story completely. Focus on getting the car up to the task of power first, then go for the basic upgrades (exhaust, downpipe, intake etc.). 300 is too easy these days.

It could be BHG or as simple as air in the system. I'd burp the system to start out with. Otherwise check for leaks. Give the throttle a few revs when you see it spiking to see if that gives it any change.

Okay, I'll give a brief rundown for now and go in more depth if anyone wants it. I got rid of the factory coil pack mounting plate, and made a bracket to bolt to the lip at the back of the firewall. The way they sit , you can just reverse the stock plug wires. Still keep 1-6-3-4-2-5, but the...
