my oil pressure is hooked up the same way, and i know my reading changed noticably after i put a flow restrictor on my turbo oil line. i would say i saw a 5-10psi difference in reading. I don't know where a better place would be to put the gauge though. Use it as a reference, still better than the s...

if you got the poly engine/tranny mount it will vibrate like a mofo. i had them for a while. it is ***** loud

the response/feel is great, but the noise.. start wearing ear plugs

Matt i am running a bikirom right now (yeaa!!) and am desperately looking for a standalone for a decent price. The COP and speed density sounds like exactly what i need. I am ready for an obdI s14 the day it becomes available, just tell me where to send the money!

that really depends how much you've stripped out of it, and they are not that front heavy. If you strip the interior yes it will get more front heavy. You can probably figure out your situation by going to a scale and seeing how much weight is on the front tires and how much on the rear, then taking...

im running 17 lbs, shouldn't be past its efficiency range.

no i have a BOV, a JGS one, and it is working. i had the bov line pinched once and can definately tell when the BOV is not functioning. the thrust washer sits inside the dynamic seal (on the left) so the wear would be from the dynamic seal pulling/spinning on it from how it sits in the turbo. I dont...

hey all, i just rebuilt my turbo this morning because it started to smoke and i noticed i had like an 1/8 inch end play. upon taking the turbo apart i saw that the thrust washer was worn down ridiculously. what could cause this much wear? As you can see the other bearings don't look nearly as bad, t...

yes on the bottom, you don't want to touch/scrape the top

i've had a few of my shims ground down to correct size at a local machine shop. didn't cause issues.

leave it stock or go coil on plug. I think the distributor cap/rotor really don't last that long on our cars if you run high boost. Mine seem to get toasted in like 10-15k miles. i ran an msd 6a to amplify my ignition and went thru 2 distributors in 2years. it seems to kill the coil off in there.. M...

are the cams drop in or do they need to be degreed also?

i was about to post as above... heres a thread from another forum

if you weld it i imagine you pay the price in tires in the long run. If you really want to drift go with a clutch diff. if you just want traction, i personally have the s15 hlsd and its been GREAT. beaten on it now for 20+k miles with 17psi and it has given me all the grip i want. Even stepping side...

well I have some funny news. Yesterday i launched it in first, and went to grab second, and it crunched pretty hard again, but then went in. Then i went to take 3rd and it went in smoothly! After slowing down, i found out that my 1st and 2nd gear work normally now too. Soo somehow magically i unbent...

hmm.. looking through the FSM at the manual transmission components it seems like a very possible event. I have to rip the whole thing apart though to inspect the shifter fork eh..

i think it's time to start looking for a spare tranny and getting this one rebuilt maybe

cheers

Hey All, My stock 5 spd tranny has over 160k on it now, with 30k of turboed goodness. I never had any issues, but yesterday while i was driving along at 60 and tried to downshift to 3rd (and skip 4th, with a revmatch) it crunched really hard and went into gear like molasses. Scared me, but i did my ...

it probably won't help a lot.. the voltage is up only like 4%, but anything helps right? the main reason you should do this is to have boost cut in case your wastegate line comes off, or if you want a secret kill switch that disables ignition. if your plugs are ok and spark plug wire resistance is w...

im running .025 gap

100% stock ignition, but hardwired to battery with boost cut switch. You get an extra half a volt at the distributor coil too

did a small writeup here

if u get an s13 distributor you will need an s13 ignitor chip too... I looked into going that route, looks like a lot of work.. also, you may want to try plugs/wires also. In the end just find a used s14 distributor and swap that out. i have had to replace 2 distributors while i used the msd 6a box ...

the spun rod bearing will run u for a bit longer if you realy have to... just drive gently til the rod throws itself thru the block put some thick oil in there too.

al shal, are you running an msd6a or boost a spark through the stock ignition coil? or is it 100% stock ignition? 100 PERCENT STOCK i am going to be getting the msd 6al-2 thought why? i had the msd 6a on my car, running through the stock coil for a while, and it would kill my distributor in about a...

also if you haven't already, get a 5spd s14 brake booster. It is the thinnest and will move ur bmc back a bunch

cheers
Marko

it should slowly auto correct if it richens up when efans are turned on, if the base map isnt accurate enough. Unless your o2 feedback is turned off then you need to adjust the fuel map in those load cells.

what r u using for tuning?

al shal, are you running an msd6a or boost a spark through the stock ignition coil? or is it 100% stock ignition?

i think all distributors get it after a while. Not sure if it should have it after only 70 though (haven't checked that soon)

Are you running a stock ignition or aftermarket?

welll... i finally got the car back on the road and after going into boost it started making the noise again. doh.

i guess its time for a new wastegate... no idea what makes it leak or rattle like this..

theres a fuel pump howto right on top of this section too

cheers,

to put the msd 6a box on a stock s14 distributor u will have to take it apart and solder a wire inside it. I have done it (find a howto on JWTs website). i took mine out though because the stock coil inside the distributor will go out after about a year. i simply hardwired the ignition from the batt...

evo forums will probably give a better idea... also if he went to the track and did a run then that would help give an idea based on the times..

Marko

Hi All, i didnt want to update sooner for lack of any useful info, but i have fixed the car. I took the wastegate off, took it apart, cleaned it (it was actually pretty clean and i'm not sure what caused the rattle in it) and put it back together and on the car. The noise is gone now. Something must...
