    Sound Deadener Quantity

    No, u do not have to remove the factory mat. If u look through my sound deadening post, u will see that I left it on the trunk area. However, I did remove it from the floor boards since the mat had separated and the inner lining became soaked. I hear dry ice is a much more efficient way to...

    Sound Deadener Quantity

    Spectrum does in fact kill road noise. Even with a ddp, my interior is surprisingly quiet now. I can't even hear the fuel pump anymore. I am more than satisfied with the results. Give them a call and they will answer any questions.

    Sound Deadener Quantity

    ^ It can be, depending on how many coatings you use. They recommend a minimum of 2mm applied in 1mm coats. I used at least 2-3 coats, depending on the consisitency of my mixture. For optimum results, use 2mm on both sides of the surface (ie. Floor boards and undercarriage). That's what I did...

    Sound Deadener Quantity

    ^ Put it this way, SecondSkin was initially too thick to spray to begin with and had to be watered-down a bit before it could be used. Paints on with a brush just fine though. If you go with Sludge, you'll need to apply it with a putty knife. It's not meant for large areas but more for hard to...

    Sound Deadener Quantity

    The sludge is a little hard to work with and cannot be sprayed. I've had my secondskin sitting for years and it has separated from the water. So in the jug there's water on top and basically sludge on the buttom. I simply mix grab some sludge and mix in the water to get the consistency I'm...

    what steering wheel is in your car?

    Leather was done by an SM member Facime. Not sure if he's still doing them tho. Cost a couple hundred I think. The airbag I did myself. Scrubbed her down in acetone and put several healthy coatings of AutoMagic vinyl paint.

    TPS and code 51

    I wired in a new plug onto one of the selenoids located on the ac line that runs along the passenger side. Both wires were black so I have no idea if I wired them backwards or not. Would that produce a code 51?

    TPS and code 51

    I no longer have my ac compressor installed and I have a code 51. Does this mean the AC is for sure not the culprit? I was hoping it wasn't the TPS.

    Can the power steering pumps front seal be replaced without removing the shaft?

    ^ Thanks Jet, that worked great! The seal popped right out. Unfortunately upon installation I damaged some of the shaft's threads while tapping the new seal in with a socket. The space was so tight that a deep socket wouldn't fit and I didn't realize the standard socket was making contact until...

    Can the power steering pumps front seal be replaced without removing the shaft?

    The TSRM shows that the seal pops out the front of the pump with a flathead screw driver placed where the shaft would have been. I can't seem to get around the seal to pull it out. The rubber is just breaking apart. I'm afraid of prying any tool directly against the shaft (for leverage) as I...

    Can the power steering pumps front seal be replaced without removing the shaft?

    Definitely not enough room for a tool that big. I have mayber 4"-5" from the seal to the Efans. Don't have the new seal in front of me, but looks like a miniature rear main seal with the inner spring.

    Can the power steering pumps front seal be replaced without removing the shaft?

    The TSRM shows the seal being removed when the shaft is out. I'm attempting to replace the seal while the pump is still mounted. I removed the pulley, shaft key and snap ring but I can't get the seal out. I made a real mess trying to get around it with different picks and small screw drivers...

    compound turbo set up

    On our cars I agree it is not worth the effort. But in addition to providing a huge increase in boost levels, doesn't a compound setup provide a wider powerband as well? That was always my impression.

    compound turbo set up

    For the time and money it would take to fabricate a properly functioning setup, you'd probably want to go with some better turbo's than the factory ct-26. Uh, what?

    Can the rear timing cover be removed and replaced without pulling the head?

    ^ That's what I was afraid of. Better safe then sorry. I'll get it welded, whatever it takes. The whole reason I dropped $4500 on my longblock is because it was heavily built and previously ran for 3500mi with no leaks. I pullled my old engine from the machine shop before it was even assembled...

    Help!!! Need advice!!

    Wow, you had a lot to get off your chest. But might I suggest the off-topic section or perhaps reddit? To answer the only question I found in all of that, No, you do not have to swap your differential. You will however need swap over a driveshaft from an r154 Supe.

    Can the rear timing cover be removed and replaced without pulling the head?

    ^ So if I removed the current rear timing cover and repair it, I can reinstall it with no issues as long as I use FIPG where needed?
