well, i had a problem before hand. after gapping, its gone.

1. What brand are you using? AEM progressive methanol injection kit 2. pros/cons of your setup it has leaked before into the ic piping... crappy phone support for this problem. 3. How much does meth cost and how often do you refill the resevoir? once a month, i pay too much at about $8 a...

new video... same as before. 60-120 pull starting at 60 in 3rd gear. about 13psi of boost, 5degrees of base timing, w/ methanol (green light in video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS4YT5zjxX0

ngk iridums 1 step colder, stock 7m coils, acura legend wires. i gapped the plugs down to .022 and that fixed the missing from what i can tell. i know it can make more power at this boost. so, i'm going to tune it a little more. so, you think i can run more timing? i'm nervous about running...

yep, or less boost :cry: yeah, the readings are happening over and over again. its always like 190 or so right at the moment i floor it. and yes, the head gasket is stock. i'm still at 5 degrees btdc. honestly, if i add any more power, i dont know if i'll be able to put it down without...

so, i tried 12psi tonight with the methanol too. my safc shows a knock the very millisecond i floor it, and then it never comes back. the turbo has almost zero lag, and it feels almost like i'm being rearended when i punch it. my new problem is my spark is being blown out, i know this is what...

haha yeah, its the first of probably many things you didnt know that you were going to need. when i got my engine, i heard that the pan was going to work, the flywheel wasnt going to be hard to find, i thought my mounts were going to work, etc... but its worth the work, trust me.

yes... that's all that i can say...

i'm running the stock hg for now, i do realize that this is going to hold me back. hence i want to only run about 1 bar. my safc at 7psi and 5 degrees of base timing is registering 180-190 knock but i know its very brief. i also know its happening around the higher rpm. also at other times...

yep. any suggestions with that? i want to run 14psi max, 10 for now. i have 550's, vpc, afpr, safc2, 57trim t04e, big greddy fmic, wideband, progressive methanol control. i just listed those mods so you know what i'm working with. i used jza70 brackets, normal urethane 7m lower mounts...

yeah, that's true... when you're road racing there's way way more heat being generated due to the constant full throttle action. i used to have a miata, and almost everyone road raced those things. they had to invest a lot in cooling. the mounts are 7m ones, the upper brackets are just jza70...

oh yeah, the mounts, i got them on ebay. search for ultra mounts. there have been quite a few people making over 600hp to the wheels on stock ge internals. my way of dealing with the higher compression for now is methanol and retarded timing. i plan to run about 14psi or so when i get this...

yeah, i dont think i'll need to change the pistons especially with this turbo, its only good for like 500 to the wheels. however, i do plan to eventually put a thicker head gasket in. the only thing i did to it thus far is take off the valve covers and the oil pan. this thing seems to be in...

its basically the total at the beginning. plus maybe 100 bucks.

i know... i was trying to, but i really didnt know the amount of work that goes into something like this. i'll be ready for the next meet. i'm just trying to fix the 2 stupid oil leaks. pm me, i still have it.

here are some videos, the first one is a cold start video. i probably put like 20 or 30 miles on the car since the swap when i shot this. so, its not really a surprise that it didnt start on the first crank. now, things are a lot better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMW-QHkkBeY then this...

::update:: i found an oil leak on the oil return line, i'm working on fixing that right now. since i didnt have my timing light last night i just kinda did it by ear, and i didnt mash on it. i checked it today. hahahahhaha, it was 5 degrees after tdc. that's awesome, and it still felt this...

thank you sir. in all, it took my roughly a month and a half to get this done. a lot of the time was spent parts hunting. the swap itself was more like a week or so. i had a lot of setbacks too, the oil pan, the flywheel, having to modify everything and not really know about it. aside from...

so, after getting to drive the car with this engine in it. i must say, it feels like it almost has more torque than the 7m. the engine runs quite a bit smoother, power delivery is nice and smooth also. plus at 4-5k rpm it sounds awesome! i'm currently at 7-8psi and it feels nice for this...

ITS RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was a lot of work... pics later... i'm going viper hunting
