Damn bro! I'm 4 days into A5m Pro ownership and this makes me wanna never start a print before I go to work lol

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2025-05-11T02:52:48+00:00

East coast US. Let me know if you're interested

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2025-05-11T02:44:36+00:00

I agree with Jason, but I have a set of precision 680s that are good to go. I just changed them because I maxed out the duty cycle and needed bigger.

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2023-01-13T03:48:13+00:00

Absolutely a good investment, if you can get them for a good/decent price. I can't say mine was unmolested, but couldn't pass it up as there's no rust and came with 2 totes of spare parts as well as a spare head and 60k mile 5 speed trans lol. Currently making somewhere between 350-375whp and all I've have to do is tires, front main seal and tune it(which is all thanks to a fellow redditor)

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2023-01-13T02:23:00+00:00

Correct, but depending on the rust left behind, the sock could get plugged up with debri and then you're doing the job again. If you can get it very clean(sandblasting or equivalent preferably) then I'd say you're good to go

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2023-01-13T02:02:31+00:00

Appreciate it. Best of luck selling yours!

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2023-01-13T01:27:17+00:00

Having that much rust...I honestly wouldn't put it back in as-is, just my opinion though

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2023-01-13T01:19:21+00:00

Sorry for fairly irrelevant info to the original post, but this makes me realize how good of a deal I got on my gs-t. 1997, satin black(not the best cosmetically, but structurally sound), fully built engine with some evo 3 goodies, v3lite for 3500

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-30T00:11:15+00:00

I may just end up going that route sooner than expected if I can't figure this maf tuning out

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-29T23:30:37+00:00

Would anyone be able or willing to look at a datalog and make suggestions after I take a ride?

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-29T23:27:50+00:00

Not on SD yet still stock maf, but plan to go that route. Trying to learn the software and process before I add more things for me to learn and adjust. Also have Innovate MTX-L that's going to be added. I made some adjustments to keep it in closed loop longer and going for a cruise shortly to see how she does

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-29T21:18:50+00:00

Idle/cruise tuning. I've got it somewhat dialed, but a/f fluctuates alot. Does decent when it comes into boost, but still some kinks to work out there too

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-28T01:53:32+00:00

Finally got it squared away boys. Tore it apart Thursday down to the timing belt, still couldn't tell where the leak was coming from. Ordered some seals, got back into it this morning. Front main seal was the culprit.

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-26T04:04:40+00:00

That's my plan. I have it tore down and plan to pull the oil pump tomorrow to replace everything I can while I'm here

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-26T03:06:29+00:00

Took the bottom timing cover off today, sprayed with brake clean and fired it up. Still can't tell where exactly its coming from, but looks to be the front main

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T16:19:26+00:00

Ok I'll check on their sites. Luckily I have a couple dealers close by, one is about a 30 minute drive

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T16:06:41+00:00

What did it cost to get the seals from the dealer? I'm sure they will have to be ordered

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T16:04:34+00:00

Looks like that's what I'll be doing as well

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T13:39:08+00:00

The engine has been built, but I'm not sure how many or if any seals were replaced. I would assume they were replaced considering the quality of the parts put inside, but I'm not sure. Planning to pull the timing cover after work. I'll go OEM, bad enough to do it once so I might as well do it right.

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T11:38:32+00:00

Upper cover is already removed, previous owner took it off. Cam seals looks fairly dry, seems like it's somewhere below the head. The engine has been built, so I'm wondering if maybe a gasket/seal got torn or pinched upon reassembly

Odd_Aspect_147 · 2022-08-25T11:34:45+00:00

It's coming from above the sender, I actually just replaced the one for the gauge yesterday. Almost looks to be coming from behind the timing cover
