thanks, 1st head looks more usable to mee too. As for hardness test... Sorry, but our "machine shops" do not know what is it (along with many other things).

Hi guys! I'm going to build spare head that will be used in my next rebuild... So I have two JDM heads and trying to figure out, what to build. I'll post damages, please comment them. And then - put your opinion what to build, please. Head number one (casting #3): 1) Block-mating...

7mgt45r, Don't you see my post? You have bad wiring/connectors. Period. When you change plugs, you move wires so contact appears... When engine gets hot - things expand and contact disappear again.

Your wiring is too old. Time to replace it or repair. Some broken wires (inside insulation) can cause a lot of problems. Rewire ignition harness and your problems will go away.

You should ground shielding but only on one (ECU) side. Don't ground both ends (ECU and engine)!

twinturbozs are there any fuel tuning device? When I was running Lex AFM without SAFC, I was hitting FC at 18psi on T3/T4 (small enough) turbo. Lex+550 run very rich at high RPM/boost, so you can take away some fuel and get some more psi before fuel cut. GrimJack one more: - Boost spike...

suprakid24 How much ignition timing advance are you running @15 psi? @20psi? Thanks.

waiting for Old Man's comments :sarcasm:

Well, there are a lot of advices here (bushings, sway bars etc), but they all are theoretical =( So, have anybody solved wheel-hop problem? If yes, then post full list of parts changed please (including brand names and catalog numbers).

+1 I have wheel hop too =( Are there any guaranteed solutions to fix it? (what parts should I change to fix it for sure)

Adjuster, thanks a lot! One more little question: what do you think about running Bosch without recirculating it back to pre-turbo intake? I'm going FFIM, so recirculating back to accordion hose will be trouble... So, I'm going to put breezer (small air filter) to one port and connect another...

to Adjuster: Do two bosches handle T70 well? Haven't you compressor surge at low boost levels? How much psi are you running? Are you sure they do not leak after 20psi? PS: I'm going the similar way, but have been told, that bosch has too soft spring and leaks after 20psi.

Why? ECU just controls timing advance and amount of fuel. If they are ok, who cares is it stock or standalone? Of course, making stock ECU run adequate settings is not as easy and safe as standalone, but it's another story... As for detonation... Doesn't it damage pistons, not rods? Or may be...

Spearco style is crap (if it hasn't flow divider inside) for high boost application.

I'm in the same boat. Lots of smoke on startup but nothing after warm up. Oil is clean (no milkshake). Compression is good. No bubbles in radiator. Coolant doesn't disappear... Valve seals have been replaced about 5K miles ago... Anyways, I don't care =)

subj =)

I'm running about 20* of advance at 16psi, but i have about 8:1 CR and standalone... Messing with timing on stock ECU isn't good idea, imho.

my bet is cracked hot snail. Sorry.

2 Freshmaker: Yes, I started with base map from AEM forum, but it look too retarded and wasn't making power at all. 2 Freshmaker: Ofcourse it's all about tuning... thats why I'm asking for some tuning tips (I haven't much experience in it) 2 nosechunks: What is initial? I run about 13* at...

Hi guys. I'm in progress of preparation for local drag-racing... My setup is: - 7M-GTE with 2mm MHG (about 8.1:1 compression ratio) - custom turbo very similar to SP61 (GT4082/GT35R compressor in 0.70A/R housing and stg. 5 exhaust wheel) - 600x280 IC - 2.5" hardpipes, full 3" exhaust -...
