    Sea Foam and my Engine???

    I'm running Shell T6 right now. I'm due for an oil change anyway need to get the napa filter in after learning about the psi for the bypass valve. With Mobile 1 I had to add a quart and a half in 3000 miles (I thought I had a problem) but with the T6 not one drop was added in 3000 miles

    Sea Foam and my Engine???

    I wanted to hit up the engine gurus here on IGOTASTi before I do something :tard:. Two months ago I ran some injector cleaner though my 2004 with 83000 miles and now I got a tic that is driving me crazy. Not too sure if it is the injectors or not so on the last oil change (about a month ago) I...

    Looking for turbo for 04 sti

    Have you checked the boost control solenoid (this is what regulates your boost if its bad you will only get wastegate pressure which is 9psi) ? checked all lines connected to the BCS and turbo?

    Looking for turbo for 04 sti

    I side with Batmobile your engine is built around the turbo so cheap turbo, cheap build, dead engine which is not cheap. You might be able to get the stocker rebuilt for 400 just need to look around for a decent shop that knows their shit. Take some more time and save some more money, you...

    ? about boost target

    +1 for Holy. Just had mind done by him and it is night and day from the OTS map I was using. Another +1 for it being free for paying members ($65 for a real world tune + membership compared to a $500 shop tune that may or may not be street friendly) and another +1 for holy having OCD and...

    Help ?

    Just an idea I used with my Mustang. I got some large cats for cheap cut and chopped and welded the cat bodies straight to the pipe to make it look like cats. Only downside is you need to weld really good to pull it off. Try to find a pulled catted down pipe you can borrow just to get it...

    Spark plugs

    Make sure to check the gap!!! The closer you can get it to 0.028 the better your car will like it. When I got my new NGKs they where gaped to 0.035 and that would have caused all kinds of problems.

    What about Plastidip? I'm doing some tests right now with out of the can stuff right now. I have painted the front of my car to kinda resemble a EVO10 with the big black void, have blacked out the SUBARU on the back for ease of use test, and pained the license plate area.

    people are stupid !

    Don't stress man :) All that should matter is that you know what your car is. Just think back to a time when some ricer pulled up next to you and thought it was as little o WRX. I know you have some stories like that.

    04 Engine Misfire

    If you have the old plugs it would help the trouble shooting process by reinstalling and see if it relieves the miss fire. Do not trust pre-gapped spark plugs check the gap with feeler gauges (do not use the round wire/wedge type gauges) Could you give us a little more information on what the...
