That sounds like the exact thing mine was doing. It was a tapping not a knocking or a ticking and it kept pace with the ampunt of rpms i gave it. Almost sounded like when u were a kid and put cards in your bike spokes and the faster you pedaled the louder it got. Some times at idle it would go...

I just took it apart ( the way the tsrm shows IS pretty much completely taking it apart) and there were a few tiny pieces of metal in there. Actually they all seemed to get stuck on the opposite side of the filter/screen thing(is that magnetic, cuz if it is that was a good idea). Clearances...

I'm just throwing this out there but maybe he is right..I have the same bov as one of my buddies and they sound the same at low boost but I only boosted to 9psi and he has a fully built DSM boosting 25psi and his sounds extremely different when you get up there in boost...kinda like if your...

So I was just curious if anyone has ever tried to completely disassemble the 7mgte factory oil pump and clean it/make sure its working fine and reassamble it? If so, what were the results? I have time to waste in the shop while I'm waiting for my block to be machined and figured I have...

Top 10 reasons to temporarily disable my power steering.... 10. Arm workout...trying to get swoll brah 9. Steering fluid isn't getting any cheaper 8. It was either that or my power windows and I gotta have my cigs man. 7. I tend to oversteer way to much when drifting 6. Easier to...

What kind of injectors are these?

Well I'm glad you got it running good. And we were just throwing ideas out there to help... if u read ur first post u said u recalibrated the tps and checked timing so were not gonna immediately tell u to go check ur tps or timing, right?

Shit in that case just ditch the car and walk everywhere that's what an ambitious fella would do

I got ya...I think I have decided to be patient, save up a bit, and do it all. I can't wait to have this thing up and running but I finally convinced myself to do the smart thing and make the bottom end flawless..has anyone started a thread on proper machining techniques/tips for the 7m? All I...

Well I'm getting all new bearings. I guess I don't understand how hot tanking the block without the bearings in could effect them.. or were u saying if I wasn't getting all new bearings?

Good info. To be honest i'm on my phone and don't have the time to see exactly what u mean on the TSRM right now but is the AUX shaft the one that runs underneath the crank and drives the oil pump gears and such?

^A SM member has NOJZ4ME.....I thought that was awesome! But if you think about it, the reason I fell in love with the MKIII/7M is simply because it isn't that widely known about unless your already a fan. It is the longer harder road but to me that's what makes it that much sweeter. I have...

Sounds good! 12-18 is all I would want to risk running as well...you really gain an appreciation on how to treat your car when u rebuild it from the ground up. I'm so excited to turn the key its killing me...but cant take any shortcuts! btw Dan I did forget to mention I have full 3" turbo back...

Thanks guys that's what I'll do...so any tips on what to ask of my machinist? I know I want the block boiled and crank turned but do you guys have anything else I should have him beware of or ask him about? Is boiling my block going to affect my oil squirters etc. etc.?

Well guys looks like I don't have a choice...as I expected. Spun rod bearing on #3 that thing was razor thin ,very close to doing some major damage boy am I lucky. The crank has some scoring so its gonna have to be taken in. I didn't take the main caps off yet because I didn't want the crank...

Thanks Grandavi, I did forget to mention I have a wahlbro 255 and a manual boost controller. And I don't go around street racing but just wanted to know what my car would be comparable to. That gives me a pretty good idea though. Like u, if a car were to pull up next to me in a safe enough area...

Well seems like the consensus is just take the damn thing to the machine shop...what do u guys think a safe estimate will be to do all of that? I know it varies but roughly?

I am currently rebuilding my 7mgte and seems like the more I tear into it the more bad news I find and the more money I have to dump into it. So I need some inspiration! Given that some of you have the same mods done as I am putting on this engine, what does the car feel like? I'm not just...
