Start simple, Battery needs a full charge, alternator checks out? Then are the ECU the correct models? You need that coolant sensor for sure and have you replaced the thermostat? You said she overheated before turning off. Maybe a failsafe mode kicked on disabling the car to start till sensors...
All the information you guys have given will be very useful, I put stock setup for intake back on and so far no bucking :-) I still have the idle surge issue though and it's a little faster on the cycles then with the custom intake. I found some great tech tips but am still open to ideas before...
Yes I reconnected the hose from the valve cover but surely I will be reverting to the stock set-up to eliminate that possibility thanks for the suggestion!
So a few months ago I was driving down the road and accelerated up to speed and when I went to let off the throttle to sustain speed she started bucking so I punched the clutch in and rev a bit and then go back into gear and all is well for a little while longer but then it started doing it...
yeah it happened as soon as I put the cold air tube and K&n filter on. I also cut the air filter bucket clear off except the rim that holds the whole unit together with maf.
I have done a rookie version of a vacuum test which involves using my hand and a cigarette lol and I've gone through front to back on the intake and just don't see where the heck it could be? I'll do a more thorough test today and see if that's the problem. Thanks for your idea and if you have...
I owe an official apology for turning this thread into a all out assault so I'd like to say sorry. I never said plugs make more power just that better plugs will be a good buy when making more power to reduce the chances of pre detonation witch in turn helps you maintain the power you can make...
The development of noble metal high temperature electrodes (using metals such as yttrium, iridium, tungsten, or palladium, as well as the relatively high value platinum, silver or gold) allows the use of a smaller center wire, which has sharper edges but will not melt or corrode away. These...
yeah thats why its tested on a flat straight 45 mile cruise controled trip over time of a year.... VARIABLES DELETED. You may be elders but your getting cocky and acting like you know it all... Guess all those manufacturers like NGK BOSCH E3 DENSO are idiots who should be making one plug...
really... how do you track that??? From my home to work and back is 90 miles round trip and the more you do it the better and more accurate the law of avgs are. my trip consumed 3.61 gallons there and back and now i use 3.39 gallons do the math wizard. 1.5mpg isn't a small amount to track. I...
yeah and i went from 25mpg to 26.5mpg based on take refill after tank refill doing the same trip on interstate 94 for a year. Proven efficiency do your home work. you don't notice power gains from plug by themselves just a little efficiency but after doing all the mods they dang well make a...
It sounds like you could use a bushing kit from energy suspensions and replace all of your suspensions bad components. If it's doing it at certain speeds it likely to be a bad tire or bad rotors, the rotors get hot and warp more after driving thus it's fine when you first drive but gets worse...
You guys he said NO TURBO..... U do get something from better plugs because there more efficient b.t.w. it's just not a big difference, but you will see it more in gas milage then power. With N/A the trick is to increase flow all together... without going to wild some things you can do are cold...
well if its a running engine id say no more then $300, and I think you may have been mis-informed on the six bolt price unless you forgot a zero at the end of that. either way if you're starting a project and are about to go ground up the n/a block itself is the same with the exception of knock...
hypothetically if i were to stick real money into a N/A 4g63 and really wanted to rock the socks off turbo guys with attitudes I go ground up, bored and stroked 2.4 or bigger, port and polish every last inch of intake and head, have intake custom built as would be the headers which would be all...
take your coil off and test the resistance in each of the towers. Also test ## power banks. I don't have technical measurements for you off hand but If you have a Haynes manual for your car it will tell you what it supposed to be at. Here check out this video it will help. How to Check an...
Check spark at the coilpack and at the plug, those random wires need to be identified for sure, check fuel pump, look at all fuses, pull codes if there are any. I park one of my DSM's over weekend once and went to start it and It just turned and and turned. I checked coil and was only getting...
I'll take note of that thanks, the last car I had was a 93 laser and I forgot to plug maf back in and she wont run but for a minute or so before dying lol
Jasper gives u a warrenty, the only turbo car I ever see for sale are beat on, heavily modded by god know who and they generally ask 3500 to 5500. Ibeen looking for one in the 2500 price range now for some time thus me owning a n/a... Very seldom do I see a decent turbo car for 2500 and if u...
B&M Muffler – Tolleson AZ: Home These guys are pretty close to you, give em a call and ask them what it would cost to get stock replacement down pipe for your 420a or see how much to build u one. It should be very reasonable.B&M Muffler Tolleson AZ: Home These guys are pretty close to you...
look at your struts and strut towers, your struts probably have never been replaced before. If you push down on the rear of the car or drive over a speed bump you should notice the rear end bouncing due to the struts being gone. Also look at where they bolt in (the towers) and check for rust and...
yeah the european 4g63 n/a puts 150 hp whereas the american models run 140hp, they have higher compression. like said before 175 to 185 would be pleasing, especially if i dump 200 pounds!I agree with you 100% on that, the only guy to do it that i have found is the dude that set the landspeed...
the point in the first place was to say hello and talk about my goals, then i guess it took a turn lol. I've heard of guys getting 200 at wheels but that just crazy. 150 at the wheels would be impressive, i was reffering to the crank and there is generally 17% to 20% between crank to tires. All...
you will have to have it tuned for your cars specs or get dsmlink and tune it yourself. the point of eprom chip is that it gives u the ability to "tune" your car. There are companies that u can send it to and there are set ups you can buy like DSMlink ECUlink that allow you to do it yourself...
the no2 comment was a jk simply saying that's the only way i'll pull on a turbo, anyways ## elitest attitudes don't help much. how about i pull more oxygen by increasing flow thru mandrel bent exhaust, bored and polished throttle body, os cams, TB coolant bypass, high flow cat, hacking the maf...
Perhaps u missed the point of that thread, thank u for the advice though. I have great connections and don't have to pay for work it's parts and my time being the expenditure. I'm going for 175hp nothing crazy and I'll buy a 4g63T when I decide to start blowing money on maintenance and premiums...
So I just bought a 93 eagle talon and decided to do a few cheap mods, so i bought a cold air tube from advanced and then cut the old rubber intake up and used just the 145 degree or so rubber end to connect the cold air intake to MAF. Then I cut the metal bucket so that just the flange was left...
I have read a bit on tuning n/a 4g63's and the one thing I see alot of is useless interjections that basically state GET A TURBO.... It isn't that I don't want one but I like my n/a and it's more reliable. I bought my first DSM 4 years ago it was a 92 laser rs and the first time i drove it i was...
How do your spark plugs look? u can learn alot from the small things. also take a look down into the cylinder and look for any coolant. the fact that it goes away when at operating temp suggests a seal thats going or is gone. I would get the temps of the tops off cylinders with a flashpoint to...
