sounds beastly :thumb:


Yea but its stock cams, so its not supposed to sound like that, a combination of not being tuned and a "big" turbo makes it sound like that. So I'm told lol

My tuner is booooooooked :( so I'm stuck waiting for a spot to open, in the meantime I need to get the exhaust and dump tube situated anyway. Also need to wire the factory o2 harness, for some reason its missing on my factory ls harness. I need this because the tunerview II utilizes the factory signal for o2 and gives a wideband readout.

- Sat May 03, 2014 3:55 am #345264 Have about 1500 more rpm to go, need to upgrade to 44mm, had to bypass bbg because the wastegate spring is 20psi and we cant control it. 8500rpm it starts to creep to 26psi and have to back off. Minor set backs. For now this will do lol

Thankfully nothing for messed up, was able to apply loctite (Like I was supposed to in the first place but was told otherwise) and tq em back down, everything is good so far.

Played around a little to get used to the car (fastest fwd car Ive driven) its really fun but I'm in need of suspension bad! The Front lca bushings are trashed almost, bad enough that I was all over the track and came close to either hitting the wall or going in the middle.

- Fri May 16, 2014 10:26 pm #345702 Everything was going smoothly until a few days ago. Started off with the rotor button bolt coming out and giving me issues with misfire that progressively got worse (after chasing down that problem). So after that car started to run really poorly (chasing more problems, wasting time) found out timing somehow is off by 2 teeth, havent reset timing yet (pretty sure this is the issue). My question is how does that happen? Weak tensioner? used but came off car with documented 40k miles. Aftermarket timing belt? Worn cam gears?

what brand belt did you use?
i would say maybe a weak tensioner, but that is pretty low miles for that to happen.
hopefully this all straightens out for ya. :thumb:

Dayco from work (might get gates or just oem later). The issue was in fact the cam gears being severely worn down so I'm forced to get another set, I wont be taking the chance and driving until then. Reset timing and runs better but not quite the same, I might have the distributor offset just a tad but im not ruling out stuck valves or losing compression. Doing a compression check tomorrow, sucks but nothing i can do if damage is done. If everything checks out good then for some reason Im having severe ignition problems.

With the new chassis i decided to keep the rear drums as they are better for holding when trying to burnouts in water box but ofc suck for auto x (if I choose to do so). I was in a bind and sold my rear disk conversion complete with new calipers, ebrake cables and brackets and prop valve with switched bracket :/. I honestly had no intentions on doing something like that on the ground again, I'm in serious need of new suspension tho.
