Try using a nut splitter. U can break a nut off and replace the stud at worst. Its basically like a C-Clamp with a splitting wedge on it to cut the nut.

Reading this makes me wonder, You mention distributor. If your running NA, is it possible the phasing is different between NA and turbo? And if you bought turbo cams I could see that as a problem. May not be the case, but just an idea. I have my cams on order from BC and was told they are...

not true. its true to check the head for straitness, because a warped head before that was decked could still have cam journals that arent aligned correctly. But still have a flat mating surface on the bottom. Not good for that to happen. But the EGR removal is not good for a daily driven...

Im going to try to come up with some sort of cover for the COP setup now that I have my coils in. U want one if I can come up with something clean tookwik? Since ur local atleast and did the R&D, i'll give ya one if i can make something clean, if your interested atleast.

Well the codes are for as follows.... 34. turbo pressure signal 43. starter signal 51. a/c switch / neutral start switch signal 52. knock sensor I would start with pulling your EFI fuse and resetting your codes. Then try it again on a drive around the block ( so u can push home if...

There is a shop about 20 min from me that im going to be using. They are a little pricey, but I have been told they do excelent machine work. I'd have to look up the number but its pfeifers in freeport IL. They have done machine work for the likes of barret jackson, and build race motors. I...

Umm i dont see how I can take that wrong, as I own a DSM, and have a few friends with SRT-4's. I have delt with the stock 16g turbo of the DSM's as well as the 14b turbo aswell. And unless the line to the accordian hose from the BOV is removed it sounds just the same as the 7m. And just so we...

I'm trying to understand here, but didnt you say earlier with a filter relocation, and a oil cooler that is a bad thing? Between pressure drops, and over cooling the oil? Or was that just a point out for when its returned to the oil pan only? And the idea he had was to use small approx 6"...

And I think this one is saying he removed the 3rd valve cover thing that covers the spark plug valley. Its probable that the oil is leaking from the 4 huge allen bolts in the center. That aluminum cover is also a gasket, and removing it removes that gasket. Some people replace it, others seem...

Ok may i pose a probably seemingly dumb question as was posed to me by a friend and I had no answer for him. The idea was to take the line that comes off the oil pump to the block ( that some people have the AN and SS fittings for) and put a bulk head in the side of the oil pan that is fed by...

First off, DSM turbo's arent that small buddy. And the reason you notice them more than you do the 7m is because the DSM is often vented to atmosphere. Not only that its under load at a smaller rpm since its a friggin 4 cylinder. You do spool your turbo in free revving (ie. clutched, or out...

A crack like that would be visable, if its not covered under OIL

Ok first off him stating the plug isnt firing at all means NO SPARK. Resistance in the wire or not, NO SPARK IS NO SPARK. You need to pay attention more. Next, if the ceramic insolation is cracked, and there is that much oil there, the vaccume on the intake stroke will SUCK OIL INTO THE...

What the hell are you talking about? First off the weather here is nice and 65-70 out. second, what does that have to do with anything. Say I know nothing if thats what you want to do. But in all the cars i have had, and all the cars I have built, i guess I know a little something. If he...

Hard shift? Prolly messed up a friction plate, or pressure plate. Maybe a throw out bearing. Like stated before, drop the inspection cover, and see what you broke. Could have also been a trans mount, or a motor mount causing the vibration, and a master or slave cylinder causing the clutch...

My quesiton is why the hell do you want boost without a load on your motor? Why would you want to boost out of gear?

Indeed it is the first common point of relief for the crank case pressures. The oil dip stick is the first place, and some people ( i know about it on other turbo cars, not so much the 7M from experiance ) will use a zip tie and a small hose clamp or something like that to hold the dip stick...

is your tranny slipping at all? And do you know at all which gear set is in the rear end of your car?

Umm if your that high in your RPM at that speed, try pushing the button for your Over drive. Cause in drive with OD off im about that. because im pushing OD for my shift at approximatly 102mph. But I have an LSD out of my 86.5 na in my turbo car now. i believe i have a 4.1 gear in the rear...

A back flush consists of a tee put in by your heater core lines that would have a water line hooked up to it. Then the Rad cap would be removed and they would put pressured water into the tee and flush the entire engine, radiator and all of any and all coolant and contaminants. If taking into...
