You should be good. The only way to know is by running the car then pull your plugs and put them under bright light and see if you see small flakes of metal on the electrode. If so you should pull back timing, or try a colder plug.

Are you still having idle problems? That msd box should be under warranty, did you send it back to get fixed?

i got my turbo thru a local import speed shop.. it was ordered from turbonetics.. .. so i tried it again.. this time i torqued them down with new loctite and let them sit.. and drove it.. and left it alone.. no further problems at this time.. bennyb Don't get too happy Benny.

I second that bet. Your motor is not timed properly. Did you even mess with the cams though or simply install the engine and distributor? Also, to add to the illustration you can pull the valve cover off and get the engine TDC. Then stab the distributor with the valve cover off that way you can look...

I don't mean to be rude but first off what are you doing trying to turbo that engine anyway? You have an apparent oil leak you need to fix first. Next the car will nothing close to dependable with the way you have it setup and you should have had someone who's familiar with installing turbo kits do ...

I second that this is normal.

Hey Robert, how long had you been running at 12psi before your motor popped?

It sounds like you may have broken a ring lan on a piston. I hope not but let us know what the compression test results are.

Its only due to having forged pistons. This is common with any built motor with forged aftermarket pistons.

Hopefully flushing will work for you but often times the sediment will harden in the core of the radiator causing you to buy a new one or take the radiator to a shop and have them rod out the core.

I've never noticed that but if you are there's a possibility your radiator has restriction in it and not cooling properly.

I spoke to Jim myself and asked him about his cams. He told me they aren't but a little bigger than the S13 exhaust cams. Ben is full of ****. I don't like him because he will only selectively tell you things that will sell product. He depends on our ignorance to sell stuff. I have caught him out th...

The cams I have from Crower are one offs. I have the part number on the box they cam from but the box is at my Dad's shop. next time I'm up there I'll post it for you. They are big cams compared to S13 248 cams. The clearance difference in the cams are so big you have to take the head to a machine s...

That's cold enough in my opinion. My engine had similar characteristics under those conditions. How about you Ryan?

I can tell you from my experience that with Forged pistons my engine ran rough when first started on a cold morning then smoothed out after a couple of seconds idling. In my case it was just due to pistons not warm and needing to expand. There were a couple of times I had to drive the car with the e...

I hear you Eddie but the check valve could not resist the pressures from 15 psi on a 3" exhaust. By the way I installed the check valve almost where the downpipe bolted to the 2nd hallow cat however this still didn't work at that boost level.

How are your fans setup? One on one off until A/C kicks in, both fans on high, both fans on low, etc? I have the same setup (GReddy, cap, dual fans) and don't have that problem and I'm in FL! I do have added components like the cooling panel, ceramic coated parts, OEM lower engine shroud. How about...

Okay I have had this problem for a long time looking for suggestions. I have a Greddy radiator with the FAL twin 12" fans pulling air through the radiator, condensor, and greddy front mout through the stock bumper. The car is fine until I have the A/C on and sitting in rush hour traffic the wat...

I have ported and polished my head but I can tell you the bottle neck is not the head. Its the cams. You need to find some big cams and the KA comes alive!! I'm running crowers which I feel very confident are bigger than JWT based on what he told me. Its my understanding they are almost the same as ...

I recommend you do not remove that screen in the oil pick up. If you've ever taken off and oil pan then you'd see why. It stops large pieces of garbage from going into the pump. I have done the trick of opening up the pick up tube hole. It works very well. I simply used a larger drill bit and opened...

No, totally false. If the head lifts, its not due to the bolts not holding. You're detonating the motor and that's the reason that head is lifting.

Good luck man!

No, stock head bolts are fine. Duy's old S14 was using stock headbolts running 30psi of boost and 100 shot of NOS. I've run as much as 23 psi and never lifted the head. The head bolts are fine. I do recommend use some thread grease on the threads before installing the bolts. I used some grease that ...

Very Nice compilation!!! Me Likes

The crankcase already has 2 port on it, a port on the side of the timing cover and a port on the valve cover, both of those are filtered right now. And i would think even if there was backpressure, if you put an angle on the port and had it at the bottom of the downpipe you would get vacuum.. i cou...

I wish there was someone who successfully installed a Z32 TT diff in a 240. I can't find anyone who has done this yet. I really want to change my gear ratio's which would work better for my car at my power & torque level. Can anyone comment on this??

Intake manifold will be great with before and after dyno graphs to measure the results. Also with a report of how the car feels after the installation. The oil pan sound okay as long as its not too pricey. An electric water pump adapter with a pulley to take its place would be nice to put an electri...

what heat range are those spark plugs? I know what you're talking about. The idle is so horrible you can't even time your motor. Try to idle the motor up to 900-1000 RPMs. Do this by using the IACV screw. Remember, that you must put the engine in the idle adjust mode first before adjusting the IACV....

Okay, welcome to the world of Jim Wolf. This a code problem I believe. I experienced the exact same thing. One problem is that typically Jim Wolf's 50lbs injector program is too lean at idle causing random misfires. I don't know why they can't get it right but the only solid program they have is the...
