    Why is my car smokeing (oil)

    Yeah it's really hard to see unless you're on a dyno. This is what a dead engine looks/sounds like, this was my old motor...pay attention to decel: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/fec64c55-4e4d-4ad8-b107-29b3517b13e4.htm

    anyone ever used this Impact Gun.....Looking for a new one

    Looks to be a real nice gun from the specs, Im sure it will take off more than you will ever find the use to take off!

    The only good use to 4 cyl wheels in my mind. heheh

    Nothing like a good burnout! Oh and hey, theres a second use to 4 cyl wheels....GHETTO SKINNIES! I cant afford Welds and VW tires, so I traded an old 3/4 complete set of stock injectors for two turbines, and mounted 195/60/15 used tires I picked up from work and VOILA! :nono: :D

    Why is my car smokeing (oil)

    Sounds like loose rings to me, blowby...... Would probably make a good nitrous car... Does it clear up the smoke a little when youre on it hard through a tall gear, only to smoke up real bad during decel? Mine did that...the compression from being at wide open ballooned the rings out a...

    What do i need to do to install headers?

    Good tips here.... Also if you have the kind of gasket that "hangs" on the end bolts....thread those two in through the header, then hang the gasket on em...that keeps it in place while you run the other bolts through and keeps you from dropping it etc.

    running lean need help.

    Hey I just wanted to say, I'm in a state of shock. After I heard your symptoms, and how your broken O2 wire fixed the problem....I tried disconnecting both of my O2's, and I'll be damned if doing that didn't fix this random, severe misfire I've had for MANY months. So whatever is going on with...

    255 Walbro + stock regulator = ?

    I dont see why not. The regulator is going to limit the pressure to whatever it's going to limit it to, and return the rest to the tank, I doubt adding more fuel behind it is going to affect its behavior

    Please help/Car stalls

    Well the intake isnt going to screw you up but you really need to swap it, you'll make a buttload of power just doing that... Now onto your problem...check for vacuum leaks first and foremost... Does the engine's idle or behavior change when you apply the brakes? Also remove and clean the...

    anybody wanna help me guess my HP?

    Oh and also, your money may be better spent elsewhere than a chip, unless you have a SPECIFIC driveability issue that can't be fixed with an AFPR, timing, idle stop-screw adjustment and TPS voltage adjustment. Or if youre like me and hitting the factory rev limiter, I had to chip mine for that...

    anybody wanna help me guess my HP?

    What kinda compression on those pistons? You probably have some left on the table with that cam...the B isn't a "bad" cam, but there are better ones out there. Its not going to hurt you as bad as somebody with stock heads though.... Honestly though man, dyno numbers are bull----....what you...

    anyone ever used this Impact Gun.....Looking for a new one

    Another vote for the IR here. I have a Cornwell-badged gun, it's just a rebadged IR. It's been awesome, it's been used daily in a shop for a few years now, beaten on, dropped, and it's never missed a beat. It'll take things off in 2 seconds that the shop guns bang away at for 2 minutes and...

    Basically stock 90GT for $19k... is this guy a joke?

    AKA, a dumbass?? I sold my old 91 V6 automatic Camaro, not even a vert, with around 108k on the odometer, for $3000. :shrug: She didnt even want to test drive it before she cut me a check, I made her drive it so I wouldn't feel like such a crook. Should've seen me trying to explain to her...

    running lean need help.

    Try that and see what happens. But seriously, you obviously have issues with your O2 sensor if you connect it and the car runs like ****. The O2 should be READING that bank as lean, causing the computer to dump fuel.... If youre running better on a DEFAULT value with it unplugged, which is...

    running lean need help.

    Now a leaking EGR diaphragm would cause a vacuum leak and be pretty tricky to find if it's ruptured...but it would be lean all the time, unless the computer's cold-start enrichment added enough fuel to compensate.... Well cold is before the computer reads the O2's and before it tries to run...

    350rwhp - 351W

    :hail2: Oh yeah stock gears are pathetic...I tuned on a buddy's 5-speed car with stock gears the other day, it was spinning 275 MT ET Streets at the top of first gear by the time I was done playing with it... I told him just wait til he gets a real gear. He was happy as it was though, the...

    You haven't touched the idle screw have you? How's TPS voltage? Does the car idle fine, any misfiring?

    Nice! That's a BADASS torque curve, I bet that thing just burns the tires off

    Basically stock 90GT for $19k... is this guy a joke?

    I have, Im sure, well over 10k into my car....3rd motor, 2nd trans.... I'm asking 4,000 for it and I can't even get that, been trying for over 6 months. Gonna have to dip into the 3's. :notnice:

    looking to tune my car (clueless on this computer stuff)

    Yeah I understand what you're saying and I'm sure the newer ones are much trickier....and yes a twEECer is a great tool...I'm just saying that IMO, your average fox-driver will be better off spending that money on something else. But you never know, depends on the car and combination. :nice:
