    Best Little Machine Shops in Michigan

    The machine shop I currently use is Koffels Place in Commerce. They are currently doing a Nissan VQ engine for me now. I dont think BCP in Livonia does machine work themselves. They send that out. You need to find out if your block is still usable with the damage to Cyl 1. Are you looking to...

    The Batmobile_Engage Member Journal

    Well I ran E85 for about 4 years. There are a few ways to make sure you dont have failures. 1) test the e85 at the beginning of the year. 2) clean your injectors every year you store it 3) get fuel from the same place every time you fill up (there was a shell that had pretty much e90 all...

    Startup smoke

    After sitting for a while it would typically be valve seals. Even on a built motor, the rings should seal. Unless they set the ring gaps pretty large I would expect a little blow by and smoke on startup. I know manley uses harder rings and it might take a little heat to get them to seal after...

    HolyCrapItsFast... Cyberu belongs to someone else now.

    I can get a deal on haltech. However, they do not make a plug and play kit for newer than 05. http://www.haltech.com/product/platinum-pro-plug-in-series/subaru-wrx/ Your best bet would to call them and see what you need and then I can place the order. :tup:

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    Soo I sold the car before I could get it on the dyno but I was sure happy with it. It pulled hard at 16psi. It had a base tune with the stock timing map. Basically added fuel for the bigger turbo. On virtual dyno it was at 315whp at 16psi. If anyone is interested in getting one, PM me for...

    CEL P0302 help

    Im using ROM raider. We can use the misfire monitor to see whats going on along with cancelling injectors etc... I agree that it is an electrical issue. But I had to correct the low compression problem first. Its hard to doagnose the electrical problem when you know cyl 2 is 40% low on...

    Update... Installed a new engine. Ran and drive fine. Got into a little boost and it started misfiring again. :idontgetit: Not it misfires all the time. I can smell raw fuel coming from the exhaust. It has new plugs and coils. I checked the injector connector with a node light. I am going to...

    CEL P0302 help

    After a few days, it is starting to run worse and is smoking like crazy. (I think the smoke is from the crappy PCV system). Its definitely misfiring. We monitored it using ROM raider. The misfire count is through the roof. Also it shakes at idle. I did swap the injectors, plus and coils with no...

    So I rebuilt cyl 2. Alin stopped by to check it out. The piston was fine, it was a bad oil scraper ring causing it to burn so much oil. I rehoned the cylinder, gapped and installed new rings. There was so much carbon build up from the oil it hot tanked the head and cleaned it up. I relapped the...

    Need help TGV sensor

    Im not sure if this was covered or not but when you did the test, were you holding the throttle wide open? If not, this could explain the lower numbers but typically you dont want to see a large difference. They should be about even. A common reference is 10% of each other.

    Is this normal for a VF39?

    Looks like normal balancing. They machine it/grind it to balance it out. It does look like a poor casting in the one area. Also, with the black soot around the housing looks like you are a little rich but thats ok.
