    7MGE ITBs

    What if you have a lighter weight piston with a stroker? Mine are weisco's and they are 317.8 grams. I didn't see any compensation for comparison in the formula in Supercentral's post about stroker motors. What I'm saying is if you stroke a 7M and use stronger rods, bolts, and lighter pistons...

    Uh OH Huge Cloud Of Smoke

    If your coolant level got kind of low then you probably need to burp the system, and like cuel said to check the heater control valve.

    Wow that would be an odd one, never heard of that before but I guess it is possible.

    Slow to crank and wont start

    Has the car been sitting for awhile? If so check all the pullys to see if anything maybe siezed up, like the alt., WP etc. And like they have said try a good charged battery.

    what goes bad?

    How would it try to start but won't turn over???If it's turning over then the motor is cranking? By not turning over are you saying it's cranking but not firing?

    Starting problems and misc plugs

    Yeah the brown is a VSV then, there are a couple on that side. One goes to the VSV on top of the Vac canister under the manifold, and the other one if I remember right is a VSV to the EGR.

    Starting problems and misc plugs

    The brown one looks like a VSV plug. the other looks familar but I just can place it. Were are they located? Intake side or exhaust side? How did you check the voltage? While you were cranking it? Check your battery connections to make sure they are clean and check your grounds, they should be...

    condition of the block after a BHG

    I would think if the tech said the head was run without oil for awhile, the bearings would be fried also. But like cuel said the cam journals maybe normal wear; you'll know when you check the mains. If they are scored then the rod bearings are toast too. Quote:[But I was just making sure the...

    condition of the block after a BHG

    I always have the block "cleaned up" a little, especially if it had a BHG. The head definatly should be checked and milled just enough to straighten everything up, as little as possible. As long as the motor wasn't overheated to much to long everything should be OK. It also depends on how...

    7MGE ITBs

    No offence taken Shawn. I think I know who you talk of, Aliens.:biglaugh: I've been watching the other site also. Wish I was a little closer to be able to contribute and learn. You guys seem to have quite a bit of knowledge, and spare parts:biglaugh: I guess I'll have to drool from afar.:cry:

    7MGE ITBs

    I'd love to have that system to try out, but the time frame and everything else going on right now I just could not do it all in 3 weeks. I understand about the need to get this system tested and tuned on several applications as to appeal to broader customer base, and I understand about the way...

    7MGE ITBs

    Supertech +.05 3 angle cut. Getting it all back in 3 weeks and dyno and tuning, at this time would be hard.

    7MGE ITBs

    I agree with this as the amount we spend to get a few HP is kind of discouraging. At least NA, but the Turbo guys lay a chunk down also. I have held off going turbo or NOS to see just how much in gains I can achieve without. One step at a time.

    7MGE ITBs

    What stuff are you talking about? I'm still in the final stages (I hope) of tuning the Maft-Pro SD set up on mine. Was hoping to dyno by the end of the month to see were I'm at now. With holidays and everything comming not sure about that. I'm kind of a nuts and bolts type of guy, not at all...
