So my alternator belt snapped the other day on the way home. I pulled over and replaced it in a parking lot. When I got home I noticed my alternator pivot bolt was almost all the way out leaving the alternator crooked when I tightened the belt. It's been squealing really bad since and I've...

Is there a online registry of sorts that shows the locations of these things? I feel like I owm the only one in kentucky, which would be kinda awesome.

i fixed it!!! i freaking fixed it. the green bastard runs again.

But they seem to be difficult to find and what if the used one is broke as well then I start looking for a problem that's not there.

So with the key in the on position the relay randomly goes nuts and clickety clickety clicks turning the fuel pump on for brief moments with each click. Synonymous agreement that it seems bad? Also should I buy new from jnztuning or used?

So maybe now the injectors aren't working which is controlled by the same relay

Alright finally got around to bench testing my mpi according to this link click . When I did I didn't get voltage to the pins just continuity, does this seem like a bad relay. Also after hooking everything back up and trying to start the car my afpr read 40 psi. Does this mean the fuel pump is...

Yea I tried and it doesn't seem to fix anything. I'm sure it's just something loose but I have no clue how to find it

It did not. So what does that mean?

If I rewire my fuel pump does it bypass the mpi?

Do I just hook it up to the positive terminal or what?

How do I hook this up to the battery? I am trying to test my fuel pump and can't figure out what tool to use to hook it up. Do I just use clips from a multimeter or a special connector?

I just thought about it and realized the car is running a walboro 255 and hasn't been rewired do you think I can fix the problem by just doing the rewire?

Is there a step by step on how to do this? My next step is checking my fuses for mpi, solder some sketchy splices by ecu, and testing mpi. Was also gonna pull a plug and test spark.

Ok put it back in and now it won't start at all. I have to assume it's a loose wire since all of this started after I pulled it the first time. But I feel so overwhelmed with all the wires and I don't know where to start.

Also should this "miniboard" look wet/sticky?

Is this corrosion? It's the only thing I see

It did not smell like rotten eggs and I do not remember seeing any corrosion but stupid me didn't pay real close attention.

Take pictures of the numbers on it. I thought you had to have a code off of the dsmlink chip to download the software. Lol

Would it change your opinion if I told you I pulled the ecu for the first time in who knows how long two days prior

So driving yesterday on the highway my car suddenly "dies"((rpm dropped to 0 and then came back up)). At the same time I heard a clicking under the passanger side dash. I believe it's the MFI/MPI but I was wondering, what if my fuel pump is going out or filter is clogged could it cause these...

This may be a stupid question but i can't seem to find the answer. How much should I have to turn up my mbc to turn up boost? I have turned it 2 full revolutions and have only gone up roughly 2 psi over spring pressure, it's a 15 pound spring.

So on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard is it to replace the the front drivers axle seal? FYI I have very little experience with these thkngthings.

Yea I know sorry haven't had the chance with work.

This may be a stupid le broad question, if so just say so and ignore this post. Who all makes an turbo where the external wastegate flange comes directly from the exhaust side of the turbo. Supposedly I have a garrett 3071r but it's in an unknown housing. All info I know about it is the...

Yea I plan on rebuilding it while it's out. Already got my o-rinfs and dielectric grease.

Well my goal eventually is ~500 whp but the reason I ask is because I have the original intake mani and throttle body on my car right now but I have a cyclone I want to install. I've had my car about a month and it came with a cyclone, with the vacuum cylinder. I just didn't know if I needed to...

Is there a full, or partially full, list of all accountable vr4s. Such ass all that are scrapped and all that are on the .org and such. Seems like it would be an interesting thing to see. Thanks in advance.

Ok cool thanks I really wasn't sure.

Is the cyclone throttle body different from the normal turbo throttle body?

So I'm going to regasket everything that involves airflow essentially. (Bov flange, throttle body and shaft seals, intake mani, exhaust mani, turbo gasket, and wastegate flange) I've been reading and it seems some of these can be just rtv. So question is can I use rtv for throttle body, bov, and...

Neither I have a garrett 3071r internals in an unknown housing that's why I asked about the manifold since I assume there's only one flange for it

So what would the gasket be that I need between the mani and turbo? And thank you for your answers I'll recheck the wiring to see if I missed anything.

Ahhh thanks I'll look up where that bolt is and takr a look.

I have 2 quick questions 1. Does anybody know what flange is on the fp dsm exhaust manifold? 2. I have an autometer oil pressure guage that worked fine until my batter died now it won't work. Light still works wires seem fine can't find any blown fuses. Any ideas?Thanks for amy help

So I've been wondering why my turbo spools so late. I have a garrett gt3071r and won't hit full boost, 19 psi, until right around 4400 rpms. So I did the quick and easy soap and water test today and pretty much every joint from my bov flange to my o2 housing gasket leaks. Apparently I'm gonna...

Thank you both for the help. It physically feels like I'm pushing the master off the firewall but it doesn't happen when I'm sitting still so I'm not sure how I'll check that. Also sorry I really wasn't sure how I'd word this question to find the reply I was looking for in the forums.

I just bought my gvr4 and the transmission was super notchy. So I adjusted my clutch and the transmission feels 10x better, I assume clutch drag. Anyway question is now about 2 inches from the floor there is an obvious knock in the clutch somewhere. I was wondering what this could be because I...

Thanks and hopefully not transmission and engine were redone about 30000 miles ago by jacks. Just cosmetic things really. Also the problem has been fixed as I was 900 miles from home and I needed a way to get there so I had a local shop fix it.

I finally bought a vr4. It's xxx/1000, missing both the dash badge and key fob, the previous owner is on the boards, papasmurf or something like that. I bought it in denver and drove it all the way to lexington about 1200 miles. Yea I knew it was a stupid decision but it seemed reasonable at the...

Thank you and I understand that. I was asking to see if there was a general consensus for "ordinary" mods (cam exhaust manifolds). I know all of these things affect spool time but still the exhaust from a 2 liter should spool x turbo right around x rpms.

So I'm sure this has been asked ,and answered, before but I can't seem to find the answer. Is there a list for the general spool time for a 2.0. For example a 6262 hits at 5200. . . Also what do you guys find the best turbo for street performance is?
