    excessive blow by, compression and leakdown results inside

    wow mccc! havent heard mention of that stuff in forever. i had a pinging issue with my old motor due to carbon build up. i used the mccc after a few recommendations from a couple dsm guys. what i did was suck some thru a vac line and let some burn off. then pulled the plugs and poured it...

    Seems I am good at finding product issues, Summit "Twist Tite" hose discovery

    i've always used the parker fittings. they don't looks as cool as the alum ones, but damn you put a line on their barb and you pretty well have to cut it off.

    i'm not too sure...

    i've seen it happen where the cps bolts werent torqued and the cps moved. it caused the ignition timing to be seriously retarded and cause some issues. that wouldnt explain the "quick cranking" tho. can't believe you'd jump right the fuel pump. that seems like a lot of hassle without...

    help with vpc diagnostics. no lights

    yes, there is a notch silk screened on the pcb to index the chip. i'll double check it again just to be sure. the chip is just firmware from what i understand. i dont see if you put it in backwards it would fry anything. it just inputs and outputs, not like a regulator or anything that it...

    went drag racing last night now have a tapping/knocking sound:(

    usually if i suspect an accessory, i'll start pulling belts to see if the noise goes away. i've seen water pumps make all sorts of noises. don't let it run very long with the belt off tho! with some hard launches, i could see maybe the stock crank pulley seperating, especially if it's old...

    help with vpc diagnostics. no lights

    yep, chip is indexed properly. i was also careful not to handle the pins so it wouldn't get damaged by any static. all pins are straight and seated correctly in the socket. if i don't get any responses, in a last ditch effort i'll try to pull the vpc out enough to swap over the 550 chip.

    Which spark plug to use?

    you want to run as large of a spark gap as possible without blowing out spark. i always run coppers. platinum isn't as good of a conductor, but last a hell of a lot longer. which is why most oem plugs are platinum. only plugs i've had any real issue with are bosch. i prefer the ngk...

    help with vpc diagnostics. no lights

    just hooked up a vpc on an sc300. it is using a mk3 440cc chip and wired in with an afc. when you turn the key on, only the red led in the corner lights up. none of the knobs light up at all. when you start the car, it runs really rough and searches for idle. looked at the kv input at the...

    Indy2k10 meet ***SEE OFFICIAL THREAD FOR DETAILS***

    thanks for the reply kevin. still a bit confused, but i'm a slow kid. you can pre-register, then out of that group a team is selected. what about the people that register but not picked as part of the team? can they still participate in the full event, but doesn't count towards the...

    maf translator & MAFT-PRO questions

    stinger is by far the best bang for the buck. however, not everyone can go wire it up, set a base map and go. then tune fuel and spark tables. you can damage stuff in a hurry if you arent careful. with the maftpro, while quite limited in regards to a full standalone, atleast you have the...

    ABS light headache

    it is in the main fuse box under the hood. it's a monster 100 amp fuse, listed as "alt" on the fuse cover. it doesn't pull out, you have to unbolt it from the bottom. interesting about the cruise and driving lights, i'm gonna look at the diagrams. edit: i also see there is an abs...

    ABS light headache

    i am by no means an expert on the subject, but the two times i had the same problem it ended up being a hairline crack in the alt fusible link. on another one of my cars the abs light came on about 2 weeks before the alternator crapped out. seems the abs system is very voltage sensitive.

    SP Quick Spool Valve dyno results

    maybe it's late and i'm tired, but: i see the increase down low. i realize you backed out of the run, but looks like you are loosing power above 4200ish rpm? maybe i'm not reading that right. also, the top end looks a little rough, esp for 5 smoothing. thanks for posting test results!
