Im sure this is kinda simple, but is your entire fan shroud there? And is your car AT or MT? Auto tranny cars have radiant heat from the trans lines that are cooled in your radiator, and if your tranny is overheating, it could cause that issue as well. How about your waterpump? There really...

Valve seals being bad could put oil into the combustion chamber. And something nobody mentioned either is there is a crush washer on the bottom of most spark plugs that is there to keep crap out of the threads. If that isnt there, its possible for some oil to get down in there, and it is also...

Another thing for your clunking sound ( since you said your suspension is messed up ) you may want to look at your strut plates on the front. There are bearings up there that allow the struts to turn with the springs. If those go out, you could be hearing that clunking around. with your tire...

Im actually looking to pic up some harnesses and ecu off a turbo 5 sp i think next weekend. I had a buyer for em, but not sure, so if my buyer backs out, I'll send ya the harnesses if you are still in need of em. Im trading my interior for the harnesses and fuse boxes, so its a pretty sweet...

I had tested it on a car with a wide band, but no I have yet to find any switch for 5v-10v. I have tried a Faze gauge too, and it didnt work either. So I am pretty sure it was because of the stock o2, but it doesnt matter to me anymore, as im going with the maft pro with wideband and lambda.

if he is venting back into the accordian pipe, i bet that is what he is thinking. The venting air back into the accordian definatly has a different sound to it. Which is why im looking to dump the need to vent into the intake post afm, pre turbo. I am pretty sure my stock BOV wasnt enough to...

It comes off the part your talking about, and goes to the back of the head. Its for the heater core. Superium has a good pic of it. Just look. For the wiring of the 3 plugs on the t-stat housing, get a chiltons, or haynes manual and look at the back where the wiring diagram is. It will tell...

That isnt going to be something anyone could tell you honestly. It really depends on your setup, and your driving ability. It should be alot more reliable, and consistant. But your suspension will play a big factor in that, and so will your gearing. If you hook off the line with a good...

Grim, my car is in build phases right now. Im in the process of upgrading from stock, which is why I said what i have said here. I was using a stock o2 on a stock engine except a full 3" exhaust. And my gauge was connected thru a Y type connection to the blue signal line. What I am doing is...

Mine did the same thing. Its a matter of the gauge being set up for a wide band, not OEM. Cause i tapped into the Blue signal wire, and grounded the gauge to the frame, then tapped into the ingition for power and mine would do the start up display then drop all the way to the rich side. As I...

Its going to cost alot of money, you need the TH-350, a new drive shaft, a new flywheel/flexplate, a new custom tq converter, and the adapter plate. Its about 2 grand worth of stuff depending on how much you find the tranny for.

Well its not going to be a daily driver in any way. It is going to strictly be a track/ show type of car. Maybe some mild street use on weekends, but not much normal drive time at all. And the initial time marks I understand, I just dont really want that there. LOL Although I may get it...

Ok so this isnt exactly about the cams, but the cover behind the cam gears for the head, is it needed there? Does it hold the cam seals in place or is it just a dust cover, and a way to mount the timing cover? Is that cover needed for anything mechanical, because if not i am probably going...

If I can somehow manage to get mine done in time, I'll be at chi2k9. Mine is definatly a work in progress right now. Fully gutted interior at the moment, and im going to attempt a custom dash, and a ton of other goodies. I pretty much have a 10k budget to play with for the motor right now...

There ya go. I knew I had seen it recently somewhere. Just couldnt remember where, and that early in the morning, im not about to do searches to get someone else information. LOL

Agree'd. That 3rd valve cover i believe its called is a bitch. That thing will leak oil like crazy. I pulled mine off and put a couple O rings on em to create a tight seal. Torqued em down to 20-25ft lbs I believed was the tq I set, and called it a day. Have had not 1 problem since then in...

Hahaha, sounds like my deal. Guy unloaded the car for 800 bux. And has been one thing after another. So now I have to hell with it, and decided to basically strip it down to nothing, and start over again. Most wiring redone, the entire engine gutted and rebuilt (other than crank hopefully)...

Prolly blew a seal in the slave cylinder. Lift the car up, and clean the slave cylinder off of road debris. Then pump the clutch while your under there ( have a friend do that) and check for leaks and or drips. Then pull the dust boot and check for oil in there. That would be a dead give...

Take the cover off it, and make sure its set to TDC (there are marks to line up inside there) And set it in the hole on the side of the head with the cams, and crank set at TDC. Its just like installing a distributor. There is a step by step in most MK3 repair manuals like chiltons and haynes...

Umm OK, so you really need to learn about cars. Cause that is exactly what I said. If his rings are bad, his valve stem seals, or turbo seals are bad there will be blue smoke. A BHG is more than likely the case here, since OIL FLOWS THRU THE BLOCK and into the head. Thus if you have a...
