leaky injector? or fuel pump check valve defective. perhaps that is why it holds no pressure

Get some replacement plugs, I found some allen-bit plugs that fit nicely in there. I thought about deleting the oil squirters to help maintain better oil pressure, but I decided against it.

I added the info to the how-to thread. I can't imagine how much damage could have been caused if those bolts worked themselves loose while beating on it. Could have been a disaster.

I've always had air come out of the breather hose, or oil cap, when removed with engine running. But I don't get any oil or oil vapor out. I vent to atmosphere now and it is still oil free.

I've seen this happen with clogged PCV valves, but not generally with silicon sealant. Usually a rubber or cork gasket. But you have to admire the amount of force being applied on such a large area...

6 speed swap axle bracket issue

I always cap the TB and check for vacuum leaks once the boost checks out good. It is pretty easy to hear a vacuum leak, or to spray around for it.

Yea, the pcv could cause that to happen. So I wou...

6 speed swap beware!

if there is a way for air to get in the engine, then you will pressurize the crankcase. Even on a fresh new OEM motor. The lowest leakdown motor I have ever tested came out at 4%. When you test for...

It was a much bigger initial investment going with the spec V hubs, axles, etc. But hey, if I break one I can get it anywhere.

And so far my clutch is holding. So no need to go twin disk... yet.;)

Just you wait until you need an axle ashton... just you wait. lol.

Hey, my specV axles are holding up great :p

2005 Spec V transmission was used.

I just tried repairing my rear motor mount. I used Window Weld to fill in the major gap in the mount created by abuse. The motor mount was hammered and there was...

Greg is Awesome!

Couldn't tell you to be honest. I ordered them like 5 years ago. They are rated conservatively at 200hp/rod, but they claim you can go up to 300 without issues.

hahaha. Wow man. I feel dumb.

I've taken a 3 month hiatus and this confused me... wow.

So... you have changed the sensor?

Perhaps there is a tooth chipped on the flywheel.

I wouldn't say I didn't have luck with the twin scroll. It responded very well and made good power. But I felt the top end was still choking too early. This was evident with a huge surge of mid-ran...

I shaved head and block, timing on cams should be advanced 2* to compensate apparently. My dizzy in the middle of adjustment is about 13*.

It is recommended to get cam gears, but it is far from a...

Video uploaded, pm sent.

Well, I've used the sr16 cams. I swapped to the 20V cams from the standard 1.6 cams. I would like to try the N1 next.

On another note, I went to SLC to meet up with Blair. We cruised SLC and got s...

High overlap cams can work great for turbo. The intake pressure and exhaust pressure need to be treated like they are in an NA setup. Having the right BP/boost ratio can yield massive gains with th...

So far I've beaten this trans way more than the P11 transmission. I've slammed into 3rd gear spinning tires with no issues. I could blow up the P11 stacks at will lol. Seriously.

Well, I have come to the conclusion that working and building on the car is just as much fun as driving it. :)

I am still using 75w90. I'm gonna see how far I can push it before the transmission...

Well, since I've driven the car all winter (We didn't get much snow) I am going to detail it and head to SLC to meet up with Blair. We're gonna hang out for a bit and have some fun.
