Can I use just a check valve in place of the PCV or do I have to have the PCV valve installed with the check valve. I think I know the answer but just double checking.
So I think I know the answer to this but, Putting a vent in the balance shaft check plug in the back of the block or the front case where the front balance shaft was eliminated, could that remove the need for big vents on the VC? Hopefully that’s worded ok
What you guys think? Starts a minute or two after a cold start up. Goes away when warm? Just did a compression check 140-145-150-150. In the video you’ll just hear it end suddenly, goes away in less than a second. I was leaning toward piston slap but idk. The bottom end is stock btw

Searched and couldn't find a answer. Just got a dry Zex kit to spool the turbo for the launch. My question is I was gonna mount the nozzle down the IC pipe a ways and that would put it in front of the iac and the bov. I don't think this will hurt anything but I have no experience with n2o so...
Quick question about the ve table. My wide open throttle area on the VE table ended up around the high 80's low 90's. Does this mean anything or is just what it is.
I already have a auto but I'm swapping everything to a manual shell in better shape. My question is what did you do about where the shifter cable comes up through the floor. There's no place for it to come up in the manual shell. What have you guys been doing in this situation. It's not a round...
Went out this evening to do a log and when I did my pull I heard a strange noise when I let off. Not real loud but defiantly noticeable. I pull over and notice one of the mounts on my upper timing belt cover was broke and its rubbing against my cam gears. I figured the bolts had come loose...
Ok here's my issue. Mods are in profile but basically I have hx40 w/.63 pte t3 hot side, punishment t3 mani and 2.5" o2 housing, tial MVS wastegate w/open dump and 3" exhaust with a straight threw muffler. I've got boost creep something fierce. I can't hold anything under about 27psi. Now before...
Ok here's what I want to do. I just put on a fan on my trans cooler and for the wiring I was gonna use the fog light switch to turn it on and off and just tap into the stock wiring. the only problem is I would only be able to use it with the headlights on because the power for the fogs run...
I need my wastegate checked out. I've emailed tial sport 4 or 5 times and never got a reply. Does anybody have a number to call or any suggestion on how to get ahold of them?
OK heres my issue. I was having an issue with my throttle voltage jumping all over, so I replaced my tps with a new one. That worked for about a day then started doing the same thing. Replaced that the new tps with a new oem tps and same thing. So replaced the entire wire harness. It worked...
Nearing the end of my wire tuck and if y'all can tell me if I can eliminate the two wires going to the top sensor on the thermostat housing. The wiring diagram say its an air conditioning switch which I'm assuming is for the second fan. I don't have ac anymore so was going to pull them out buy...
In the process of going from a liquid cooled turbo to a oil cooled turbo. Just wondering if I should just delete the coolant lines or run them to my wastegate. I don't run the car wide open very often and go to the track occasionally. Never had any problems with it before. Just wanting opinions.
Have trouble with idle surge. I cant get the idle down to 750 even with bottoming out the biss. My isc was bad, only 1 coil was good so I replaced it with a new good one but still surge. I pulled the ecu out and looked at the drivers, the pic is of the back of the board where the drivers are...
Just got my car together and I've tried to brake boost a couple times. The first two times i tried i just put the brake on and floored it, it got up to about 3000 rpms but only got about to 2psi and i let off after about 10 seconds. The third time instead of flooring it, I pushed the pedal...
Does anyone know what the inlet and outlet size is on the intercooler that comes with the Punishment Racing FMIC kit. My IC pipes are 2.5" od but I think the inlet/outlet are a little smaller, like maybe 2.25". I'm having trouble with the couplers sealing on both sides, on the IC side of the...
What are the benefits of pre turbo meth inj. I just installed a single nozzle system post intercooler, but have been reading some about pre turbo and was just wondering if it would be beneficial to go to a dual nozzle set-up, one pre one post
Hey guys, I've got a situation here My car has been down almost a year now doing a shell swap. While I had it apart I upgraded a few things. Its finally getting close to being back together but I just hit a major snag. The exhaust mani is hitting the hood. Its a Punishment racing "budget...
Got a question. I'm not a complete noob but something I don't quite understand. When someone refers to a turbo as a t3/t4, what are they talking about. I know theres a t3 flange and a t4 flange but,why people say it's a "t3/t4"
I don't understand.
I cuurently have a JMF small battery kit in my car. I want to put a small 4 channel amp in (no sub just 4 speakers), but I don't think the battery will keep up. Can I put a small battery in the trunk with the amp and connect it in parallel with the battery up front? Is this just a bad idea or...
Trying to install a Kiggly flex plate, but had a question. On the crack theres an alignment pin but theres no hole on the flex plate for it . I've read through all the threads and no one mentions anything about it. Not sure what to do
I bought a new shell that I'm swapping over to and it still has the a/c in it. When I bought my current car it had the a/c taken out already. I'm wanting to try and keep the a/c. I wondering (especially from people that are running it with a FMIC) what kind of problems I might run into. I...
I'm swapping shells right now and I can't decide if I want to keep power windows or switdh to manual. I've got a donor car with the same color doors so I would just have to swap the doors. I don't care about weight just convenince, I wouldn't have to worry about windows sticking, motor going...
My car started making a weird noise at the end of last summer. It would do it when I was sitting still or moving. Mainly above 3000rpms or when I got off the gas after accelerating. Well I started trying to figure it out and I narrowed it down to the timing belt side of the engine. Replaced...
I'm thinking about getting nitrous to help with spool up and I'm trying to get as much info as possible. I was looking at the Zex wet turbo kit and was wanting to use as small as shot as possible just till I get into boost. My main question is can you use nitrous when your brake boosting? And...
I just installed a new trans cooler and this may not be important but I was wondering does it matter which way you have the cooler hooked up. I have the feed line hooked up to the top and the return on the bottom is this right or does it matter?
I was looking through the directions for my cooler last night and they said to mount the outlets facing towards your stock cooler, I think for ease of installation. Well I mounted mine with the outlets facing down. You think this will hurt anything?
I just got this coolant catch can Jm Fab. It was a little bigger then I thought it was going to be. Which brings me to my question, Would coolant be able to be drawn back into the system with the resevior way down there? I hate to mount it down there out of sight just because it so nice, but...
I attempted to make a homemade boost controller. When I hooked it up it would overboost like up to 20 lbs. no matter where I adjusted it. When I drilled the bleeder hole I accidently grabbed the 3/32 drill bit instead of the 1/32 drill bit. What ill effects would the bleeder hole being too...
My father-in-law said his brakes didn't feel right and that he had to add fluid the other day. He wanted me to look at them, so I pulled one of the front wheels off and found this and worn out pads. The min spec was about 24.7 millimeters and these were sitting about 21.5 mm.OMG
Here in couple days I'm going to be switching to DS-map for tuning. I'm wanting to use the port on the intake manifold that my bov is tapped into now for the map sensor and move the line foe the bov to the throttle body. I've heard of people tapping one of the ports on the throttle body for...
My exhaust housing is cracked up pretty bad. Could this effect the way my exhaust sounds? My exhaust is making weird sounds and I don't know if its from the cracks or if my muffler is burnt out or what. What does a muffler sound like when it burns out any ways? Does it just get louder or...
I was having really bad phantom knock all the time. My lifters were tapping bad. So I installed 3g lifters and that took care of most of it. But I noticed I'm still getting PK, mainly when I turn and step on the gas. Well I found my harmonic balancer was almost completely seperated. It was...
