Well the #6 cylinder does run a little hotter than the others because of the EGR equipment. So a KS in that area is good. And if you have a KS at one end of the block then you should have another one at the other end of it. Like someone said earlier, don't mess with the KS design. From what I...

What did you torque the head studs down to?

Shimming the oil pump only helps the high end of the oil pressure and doesn’t affect the idle pressure. With out the shim the stock spring is set to release at 40psi. Shimming it supposedly raises that. Then there is an Oil filter mount that has a second integrated relief spring that bleeds off...

The reason that they can say it's a hi volume oil pump is because that's what it is. Our systems utilize a hi volume low pressure oil system stock. So all 7M oil pumps will be high volume. Your oil pressure sounds fine for a stock 7M lubrication system. 4.3 at idle and around 30-40 during normal...

Yeah it's a good bet that it is a boostleak. Check the hoses and maybe pressure test the system.

That's pretty sweet man. Good job, and keep us updated.

Man I'm getting pissed just reading that. How can people be that stupid gullible. There are going to be people that are going to read that and take it for truth. Why the hell is something like that actually pissing me off?!??!.... This is stupid.

Thats Awsome! (copy, paste, saved,)

If you only knew. :evil5:

Sorry about the ICS thing being ISC, it was 2am and I was tired. Glad someone cleared it up. I know you’re strapped for cash right now but in the long run cutting corners to fix something will always turn in to a bigger headache than it is worth. As for air coming out of those hoses yes it is...

How much pressure are you putting in it? Any SMALL cracks in the accordion hose are going to disappear when the hose sees vacuum because of the way the accordion hose expands. I don’t think those crack are going to be your primary concern for the moment, but keep an eye on it. If they become...

If you have rubber stoppers to plug the holes then maybe, but rages are not going to help you any. Your best bet is to just go and get the larger hose and do it the right way the first time.

Um... That's a bad idea. The accordion hose is not on the pressurized side of the turbo. It's designed to see a vacuum. There are hoses connected to it that you don't want to send pressure to. Like the PCV valve.

You may want to dawn a flame suit. The topic above is taboo. Most(not all) of the MKIII owners on here are purists. We love the looks of the stock MKIII and don't care much for loud body kits. And to put any parts of that over grown jelly bean on our cars is a sin against the gods of boost...

Damn, my head hurts just from trying to read that. Sad thing is there are times that some of the users on this forum write stuff like that. Ouch! I need aspirin. :nono:

Well I can't take much credit for that. I just remembered something and pointed you in the right direction. I'm glad it helped. As for getting it to work bigaaron, congratulations. It's nice to see someone try something new from time to time and pull it off. Good job. Moving on... I'd say...

A code 52 has to do with an open or short in the knock sensor signal. A code 52 is either bad wiring (most common reason), a faulty knock sensor(rare but it has happened), or a faulty ECU(I personally haven’t heard of this happening). You will not get a code 52 because the sensor is detecting...

I think the RB26 is an awesome engine, and don't get me wrong I would give anything to get my hands on one and tinker with it. But I always have to do a double take when I see the engine in the car to make sure it isn't broken. There is nothing wrong with the performance of the engine so the...

Sounds like he might have hit the downpipe hard enough to break the seal on the head gasket. Seeing as downpipe->turbo->manifold->head it's possible that a hard enough jolt could rattle stuff enough to break the seal.

Na I hear ya man. :icon_wink As far as the ground goes the shielding basically picks up the electrical interference like an antenna before it gets to the KS wire. The electrical interference turns into energy and has to go somewhere, hence the ground. The reason it's grounds at both ends is...
