    Car wont start...need assistance

    yeah your problem at the moment is the battery is dead, you could just put a charger on it and let it sit for a bit and it should start again. You just need to figure out what caused the battery to die, it could be you left an interior light on or the headlights on or something like that, could...

    Car wont start...need assistance

    Sounds like the battery is ded, does it make a clicking noise when you try and start it or is it completely quiet? The alternator has nothing to due with the car starting, it keeps charging the battery while the engine is running. The only 3 real things that start the car is fuel, battery, and...

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    Yeah I agree with the above poster, if the piston is marked up from hitting the plug you have a serious problem with your internals and will end up needed to replace at the very least the rod and the damaged piston. If you continue driving the vehicle this way you risk taking a chunk out of...

    Piston to spark plug contact. Any ideas?

    First off shifting your car at 5700 is not terrible for it, I have no idea what the previous poster is talking about, Its harder on the valvetrain then 5000, but our cars are re-lined at 6050, and even then some people bump their near stock engines (ie no forged internals) red-lines up to 6500...

    Great, ANOTHER Noise

    a quick method to verify it is indeed the injector without buying anything is to just pull the injector harness out of the one injector while it is running and quickly turn the car off and see if the noise persists.

    Still Trying to Figure out Engine Noise

    yeah we tried and i didnt hear nor feel any resistance, is it possible that PTV contact could cause the rough idle? I installed 18cc dish pistons in stock PI Heads with stock PI cams so PTV contact would be unlikely I would think.

    Still Trying to Figure out Engine Noise

    Ok, so I finally got my car reassembled again and driveable, the engine still runs extremely rough at idle but smooths out once you start driving it around, is it possible I messed up the timing? Could that cause the engine to idle like that? Also the ticking noise, it never goes away...

    Strengthing Rear End Questions

    I am looking to upgrade the rear-end of my car so I can run M/T ET Streets this season. I have a few questions about what all I need, I know I need 31 spline axles, and 31 spline differential (I am going with a trac-lok). What all else is needed? How much can I expect to pay to have a shop...

    Please Help me Diagnose this Engine Noise

    What would be the easiest way to tell if it is a bad lifter or a large exhaust leak?

    Please Help me Diagnose this Engine Noise

    The sound is always there regardless of the duration the engine has been running. Yes it began from the moment I first started the engine. All torque specs were followed. The internals were all set up and balanced by livernois motorsports, and all tolerances regarding them were measured. I...

    Please Help me Diagnose this Engine Noise

    I recently put in a 2001 PI engine with forged internals that I assembled myself. It makes this ticking noise, which you can hear at idle in the video it increases in speed based on engine RPM. If you watch the exhaust it almost looks likes its missing, any help is appreciated Video 1...

    Look what I bought instead of a supercharger?

    Actually it costs more then that initially, under the Custom STi Stage4 DOHC Cylinder Head Package it says " *Price does not include shipping and Core Charge of $3,500.00." So you get to pay an additional 3.5k core charge until you ship your head back to them. This kit is ridiculous, I bet...
