^^ nice manThis thread was our inspiration.This now has all blue gates kevlar belts and blue spark wires ^_^
gotta clean and take some new pics/vidsI was able to move the fuse box in the back corner where the battery originally would be, it required no wire splicing and hides it quite...
I dont see many running a top timing cover.... Good eye on the bolts cutting the belt.Did make a big difference, around here you can get that FP mani ceramic coated for $80, would look real nice.Its a really cool feeling taking a car from this...To this!
Wow thats a great deal on the FP mani. What is even the question here? Tons of people with FP and a external wastegate o2 housing.EVERYTHING ON EBAY FOR THESE CARS IS JUNK PLEASE DO NOT EVEN BOTHER!
Man I just went thru this hell on my friends build.Had XTD flywheel and sprung 6 puck ceramic with excedy hd PP. 2 year old master and slave FROM AUTOZONE.This is the second clutch in the build, first came with the excedy.3000mi and it toasted, I could never get the master cyl rod to adj...
Long time no updates. Cars been down for a few months, crap xtd clutch toasted its self after about 3000 miles.Wow the video doesnt even have all the blue kevlar belts, that was done like a year ago. Time for a new!400 miles on a used act 2100 pressure plate and a new act street disk. Put in...
Thats kinda what I was thinking, really we just need the pressure plate, can always get another disk.I just don't know on ceramic how far is worn, looks close to to the rivets to me but maybe it doesn't wear much ever.
I can get this clutch for a great deal locally, he says it has 7k miles.Does it look usable for awhile?Torque Capacity (ft/lbs.): 530
Torque Capacity Over OE: 109%
Weight: 13 lbs.
ACT Pressure Plate: MB-010X
ACT Disc: 6224704
Maybe thats a dumb question, since its for stock application I'm guessing pushing past 250lbs tq qould be no good.Let me ask this, again, what happens if you have too much power on a stock pressure plate but with a ceramic disk? The pressure plate wont hold it together causing slippage right...
^^ thanks, thats what I was looking for, video not a guide.This is the setup that is on it except when the engine got oil starved and rebuild I put in a XTD 6 puck ceramic...
Ive read hit and miss on XTD clutches.If its not the clutch though why would it just start? I've read it could just be glazzed and can be cleaned up.Guess I won't find out til its apartSay the xtd 6 puck is toast though, you guys are saying I can reuse the stock exedy PP and it will be ok...
But the PP is just a standard HD exedy, it has around 6000 miles on it. Will it hold up?What happens if your PP is not strong enough?when you say "B" series from SBC are you referring to the stage 2 drag? Now you are using the stage 3 endurance? "tz"SB Available Clutches
Stage 1
Use Part...
hmm SBC stg 2 endurance at 415lbs rating for $400, not bad. Probably get that over that act 2600Its not mine actually its a friendsWhats the opinion on sprung vs un and puck style vs disk?Really I guess he just needs something that is still DDable and reliable but can handle the...
ok, I've found the act 2100 kit for $340, but its only a 320lbs, or %50, torque.I've read good things about the competition clutches and the stg 3 is a 2600 pp and rated at 150% at $326. I think thats claiming like 500lbs torqueThe act 2600 kit is about $100 more and rated at 400lbs, or...
How about the competition stg 3 ?its $326Should I be using a sprung or unsprung disk?The bushings are new and I had the rod adjusted to where it seemed right but not 100% sure, but at this point its already slipping so that may have caused this but I dont think it can fix it.
Hey all, been awhile since I posted. Cars been running ok although still have not worked out the WOT cut off issue but now there is a new issue preventing further progress.About 2 months ago the owner said the clutch was feeling really soft and was not returning well, bled it out and it seemed...
Maybe he will try to come back for the rest, don't criminals anyways return to the scene? HahMan that is adding up to over a grand of stuff now. I'd be doing something about it if I knew where the guy lived... What turbo was it anyway?Sounds like you need to get a vibration sensitive 2 way...
I was just going off what I read is a safe 91oct tune, 11.2Yes I think thats pretty high, it all depends what fuel you are running and what knock counts are though.
I think hes asking for the trim for the trunk hatch and sunroof? If not yeah parts car, I sold a nice sunroof assembly awhile back for like $80, I'd take that for the we have laying around hatch too!Which window trim?Try ebay.
Looks like machining debris from shaving/boring to me. You have not changed your oil for 5500 miles? The better question is why is this all leaking after such low mileage? Obviously nothing was done right.If you had that much metal from a bearing you would have been hearing knock or likely...
You should have a wideband AFR gauge, turn the boost up a lb at a time until you start going over 11.2afr. We don't know how conservative your car is tuned now. Then get in ecm link and start adding a little at a time to the fuel maps where you lean out.I'm not expert, just started learning...
Wow, thats gotta be one helluva wake up shocker. How the hell even, it takes more than a few mins to take off a turbo.Well since you have the receipts and serial numbers you can report it to the police, but that really only helps if the guy tries to sell it. If you get any decent video add...
New master cyl later...
Here's a teaser video. Car is on the streets, only tuned for cruise and light throttle, I am slowly learning the whole tuning process, lots of power already with a ton of potential.Every bolt on this car has been touched in the last 2 years and while its been a long...
Last fall 2014: Stock t25 and stock radiator(not installed)Second edition... We redid the bay with real auto paint this summer after the motor was ran out of oil.If you like, please check profile for more and vote. Every bolt on this car has been touched in the last 2 years and while its...
Flexplate bolts tight? Perhaps torque converter itself? If its shifting ok manually I would think thats a TCU issue or range sensor?This is that engine you just put in to get it going right?This is why I will never have another auto and rip everyone I see out, just too much to go wrong, too...
Because it needs a slight bend right they're, one piece has the nipple for boost controller and its going from 2.25" to a slightly larger pipe that mates better to the rest of the 2.5" intercooler piping.The problem area is the end of the second pipe (one with mbc line) from J pipe,
They are good quality clamps as far as I know. Yea getting a good reinforced silicone coupler, the main issue is the pipes do not have that rolled lip anymore since had to cut them to make things work.
Stupid thing, but have you looked down in the hole and checked if the crimp connector for the spark plug wire stuck to the spark plug and pulled off? This happened on a camry a few weeks ago and for a few minutes I was like huh, why is the socket not going over this one plug.13/16 here too...
At 15lbs boost it keeps blowing off the coupler where I cut the pipe and it doesnt have a rolled edge. I put 4 machine screws on the end of the pipe to make a lip thinking it would hold it from slipping off and it helped but still came off at a point, using the good style clamps. Going to try a...
Just loop it where the other line comes off the water pipe. You dont want that hot water going to your intake.Hope its not a knock off s90 like I got, the shaft seals leak horribly.
Hey surprise this knockoff s90 70mm TB leaks super bad where the TPS is. Now there is a grove there almost like its supposed to, but I do not think it should. Right now I put the right stuff rtv in that hole and around the TPS and its actually holding at 25psi BLT, but still leaks a little on...
Good luck with the ebay turbo! The one we got had a cracked center housing and when I put coolant in it went dumping out the oil pan... Luckily I had the pan bolt out and no oil in...Would suck to have that happen while driving!I'd send the ecrap back and try to source a used one from a...
It wont cause its hitting the motor mount. That pipe is going past the clamp and that part is tight plus I've pressurized from the j pipe part to throttle body and it hold 30lbs. Its the Tb thats leaking...
Def go with Justin. We tried ebay, cracked center hosuing, bought good shape evo 16g from member here, turned out to be old china junk. bought 20g from Jus for $600. Good now. the evo 16g was $450 from him. New rebuilt parts, great work.
Heres what I came up with. should be good and def better than before.Then did a boost leak test and found it leaking really bad at the throttle body shaft seals mostly on the tps side...
