Love my job, but work waay too much. My car is at about 47th on my list of things to do and that REALLY sucks.
ever since I started my job here(two years ago this month) we have had mandatory overtime, often 50+ a week, and begging us for more. Which I took advantage of. But now we are at 40 hours, and its like vacation every day
or maybe it feels like it. -
what job? haven't worked since june 12th. loving it. car's nearly done.
man I wish!!! My cars are not done, and all i do is work, but hey at least I love it haha.
-

Even though they are common grounds, I would run all separates wires to a common point on the engine block for best results. Don't connect multiple grounds before the engine block.

Do you know what sets me off even more so than text speak? Failing to use punctuation. Causes lots of confusion.

WOW thanks for the tip! this ETA eats oil like its going out of style.

Do you have an air compressor?
I have a portable welding service if need be, but It would be interesting to do without my tools available.
If possible, I could bend up the required section before I came, and then cut/weld to fit at your place.
also, My tig is the only portable welder i have, unless you have 220v.
I live in Princeton WI now. About 30 minutes west of fond du lac. -

meaning your head gasket is also fine?!?!

Most of you insist on putting very small turbos on these things. Look up the average turbo on a 1jz, and add a couple mm's haha. Our heads flow better.
Who needs boost before 4k anyways? Haha.
The billet compressor wheel not only flows more per psi but it helps spool! More importantly transient response. If I was him I would probably buy a stock compressor if I wanted cheap, but he mentioned upgrade, so I figured I would say that the billet wheels for these have been raved about with great success.
I personally would never put anything smaller than an hx40 on a 24v motor.

new borgs are around 600$ shipped to your door.
But anyways, a rebuild is dirt cheap and you can do it yourself( about 60$) and a new comp wheel should be like 400$ but they are EPIC.
about 500$ later you have a 700+whp turbo without modifying anything id say thats a decent deal. or buy a borg and modify your exhaust. -
Hmm so any ideas? Where would you start.

It is supposed to sink and stay after you start the car. If your pedal is physically sticking then it is something mechanical between the master and the pedal. If you had sticking calipers but the pedal didn't stick then it would be something after the master most likely.
such as my ABS system?
-
the pedal is not returning. The calipers stick until I pull the brake pedal up again. its very easy to pull the pedal up again.
-
my pedal sinks about 1/4 the way when I start the car. My booster was great before, and I replaced the check valve, and the calipers bleed great, and the pedal is hard when the car isn't on. My abs still works, though, as I tested it..
If I bring the pedal up when the car is running, it rolls just fine. When I push it down, they stick down a little.
Your pedal is supposed to sink after you start the car, especially if you built pressure in the pedal before starting it.
Is it supposed to sink a bit and stay? The brakes stick a bit unless I pull the pedal back up.

man I was skeptical about the bread usable for removal of pilot bearing.... But it worked great! lol.
-
I did the clutch in the same manner that he did and man it worked fantastic.
My car sat for a while and i'm having A HELL OF A TIME bleeding the brakes currently. I believe it has to do with the ABS. The calipers all bleed great, but there is still air in the system. -
oh man thats a bummer already broken. You do not have the best luck
-
yea I'm only saying that because I tried the z3 shifter and definitely did NOT like it.
-
I was talking about the turbo manifold.
-
So what the point where I can launch the car reliably without breaking shit? Of course with these upgrades. I would never want to build a car that just breaks stuff and you can't fix it.

I'm not sure if the heat wrap gets rid of the sound though.
I have obd2 tubular headers and they sound awesome.
