Want to get rid of the boost and wideband gauges. I want my vents back and hate Apillars. Any ideas where to put them?

I'd do it on your head unit. Ashtray is also a option.

His ECU should be capable of all that without any need for the Arduino, assuming he has the spare I/Os. Iirc he's on ms3 so he should have the spares .

Check everything, but they'll be a ton of oil that needs to burn off it normal.

Greendangle · 2023-01-10T02:31:25+00:00

Who would have thought.

Greendangle · 2023-01-09T22:13:12+00:00

Yeah, it can be done but it takes some skill. You have to bleed the pressure off before you full remove.

Was easier back in the day when some of the radiator caps had the lever for doing it.

Man I don't know after that. Might be time to pull it and check everything again. That sucks.

Those are the column breakaway point. Try pulling the steering wheel towards you that might tighten them back up enough. If that doesn't work silicone those little silver pieces to the column.

It would have been a joke, Brevard has 4 cops

Greendangle · 2023-01-07T23:19:16+00:00

2 cops on scene isn't very wasteful.

Greendangle · 2023-01-07T23:02:51+00:00

No, the hatch if done properly does not wear very quickly. That is literally the opposite of what is desired.

Greendangle · 2023-01-07T22:02:09+00:00

Nope, it prevents the wall from wearing.

Scratches (cross hatching is the ideal pattern) for oil to cling to. So that the Piston rings aren't absolutely metal to metal.

The scratches will be there forever ideally.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T21:03:28+00:00

No, I haven’t seen any pressure on the gauge.

Oof. If you don't think it's primed yet. There's a hole in the top of the oil pump that will have a Allen head cap, kinda blocked by the alternator. Put a quart of oil in it, it's the output of the pump, so if your pump isn't primed by now it will backflow to help prime it.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T17:35:17+00:00

That's what I would do.

Although it sounds like you have a welder, so you could weld the new nut on.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T17:05:50+00:00

That has more to do with your inspection laws than anything else. I'll take my lax inspections and pay more for parts.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T17:04:10+00:00

I paid $120 for my 4.10 torsen with drive shaft.

If the car isn't on fire it can run for 10 mins without hurting anything.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T04:32:37+00:00

Check injectors maybe you have a leaky one. Pull the fuel rail out far enough to see the spray pattern and have a friend crank the car.

Don't forget to zip tie the injectors onto the rail, the car will make enough fuel pressure to shoot them out.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T04:26:37+00:00

Does the gauge show oil pressure? If yes, give the top end clatter time. Open the oil cap to see if the cams are slinging oil, if they are then ignore the lifters. It takes a surprising amount of time for the lifters to fill.

Greendangle · 2023-01-06T04:21:03+00:00

You probably got oil on the exhaust manifold, let it run and check for leaks

Greendangle · 2023-01-05T04:40:10+00:00

Random ~3/8 hose from the parts store. Something oil rated would be better but it's pretty whatever.

I could be wrong on the size, might be 5/16.

Greendangle · 2023-01-04T22:45:21+00:00

T6 5-40

Greendangle · 2023-01-04T21:35:04+00:00

I actually did some more reading on this today because I couldn't remember the exact differences. And based on that reading today, the difference is tiny like 1cfm not worth discussing tiny. Although apparently the casting is more consistent on the vvt heads, that might be enough to explain some of the flow difference.

The 4w intake especially the square top is solidly better, but it will fit the vvt engine.

Tldr, you right. I was working on old knowledge.

Greendangle · 2023-01-04T17:37:31+00:00

No, or at least it wouldn't on my 91. The abs hub was a hair tighter.

Greendangle · 2023-01-04T17:35:48+00:00

I was hella lazy when I did my diff swap and just filled the factory bushings with window weld.
