You can easily make 400 on stock cams. (Side note I'd stick with 350hp personally. 400 is pushing the limits of the transmission)Bigger cams make an engine less streetable. Best thing to do is invest the money in tuning software, then fuel...
I have a bitchin' cyclone manifold and I needed the torque specs for putting it back together after getting new gaskets for it. Found and translated these factory diagrams. NOTE that Torque values on the page are in kg/m. Converter here...
Any codes?
Replace throttle body? No. Unlikely. Given driveability and idle are affected I would start by checking vacuum/leaks and check mechanical timing. NOT ignition timing.
I'm not familiar enough with the t25 to know how many other turbos are the same. The listing doesn't seem to cover too many. I've seen them say they cover 13b to 20g and theres much different parts between those. But hopefully someone more...
I would steer clear of the undercoating. If you find scratches in the engine bay or chipped paint you can get touch up paint and then clear coat over it and that will protect the metal way better than undercoating. Pretty much all aerosol under...
Most stands should be universal. I used a harbor freight stand like this:

You have to remove the transmission, use longer bolts...
What was the rebuild kit advertised as fitting? If you got it from fleabay or the scamazon they like to claim they fit everything so you have to be careful to make sure it actually is intended for your car/turbo
If you've got stock pistons either NPR or Hastings for the rings. If they're forged I would go with whatever brand the pistons are. Wiseco, JE, CP, ect.For the rod bearings there are going to be a lot of opinions here but I personally like...
So another stab at cleaning and reapplying double sided tape did nothing. Here's what I made, using a piece of an old windshield wiper refill.And a little black paint:
I'm a Dallas resident and this is probably one of the coolest photos I've ever taken in my back yard. It's an interesting experience.Cell phone photos don't do it justice.
Different style of retaining ring. Basically does the same thing tho. Probably not the correct thickness for the groove the oem clip goes in so you probably want to use a oem style one when you rebuild it unless the 2g turbos came with that. I've...
Here's a video. Since your engine is starting but misfiring you need to unplug the injectors so it doesn't start. And then check each cylinder for spark as shown in the video
Finally got the new patch panel all situated but had a bit of a detour while I was doing it.
I got the new patch all welded in. Had to stitch weld it since the metal is so thin here (about 18 gauge). I'm no welder, but I got it done and it's...
I wish I could say the same. I have been suckered into having one because it seems to be the only way to buy stuff anymore since craigslist is dead and unfortunately a lot of racetracks and promoters post updates and cancelations there before...
You don't need to pat me on the back Chris, there are A LOT of others that do a great job of participating and helping out and my hat goes off to all of them, they know who they are!
To ALL OF OUR MEMBERS, PROBATIONARY OR LIFERS, I APPRECIATE...
