  1. Ecu chip/MAF question

  6. Weird noise (high pitch, faint metal on metal, dog whistle)

    I recently developed this noise and it's hard to diagnose because it is happening at a lot of different times. At first I thought it was really faint brake squealing but it happens at a idle sometimes. Here's a list of then it has happened.Note it's from the FRONT PASSENGER side:Idle when I...

    Sometimes when I turn the key ill get a click and ill lose power to everything. If I disconnected the negative and reconnect ill hear a rapid clicking then power comes back. Sometimes it will start sometimes the same thing happens and I have to rinse and repeat. SupWitDatShitMan
  10. Bad idle

    Bad idle started after I did my timing belt and friends. Idles like I have some nasty cams installed. I checked for boost leaks and didn't find any. I checked my timing and with the cams line up the crank is spot on. Hooked up the timing gun and got it to 5 degrees the best I could. With it...

    *dread*so like stated in my other Idler pujlley thread ive never changed one without doing the full timing job. I searcxhed the wide webs on the easiest way to replace just this pulley but didnt find much. My searches brought up the AC idler pulley which is irrelivent to me. anything that...
  18. Idler pulley

    Not quite ready to do my timing belt but my idler pulley is junking out. Usually I just buy the kit and it has the needed pulley. So now that I browsing the local auto parts stores for a quick replacement I'm not sure what I need as. I'm seeing a lot of little differences between them.Such...

  24. WTB: dipstick?

    Mine pops out. I guess it's due to the rock hard rubber? Where can I find a new dipstick or does anyone have one for sale
  25. WOT rattling

    I don't expect a specific answer for this, but its worth a try I guess.Under WOT I hear a type of... Rattle noise... From the driver side of the engine bay. It sounds almost as if you had a big bag of marbles and were bouncing the bag around. It's only under full throttle that I hear it...
  26. Wideband installed

    Only a year later than I wanted it. But anyways. On 16psi my idle and cruise are fine. WOT it gets rich. 10.00-10.510.5-11.5 is what I want to see at WOT right? What can I do mechanically to correct that? Or is it all in the tune/chip?
  27. Advanced auto universal Apillar pod

    Well MAP did me dirty and didnt inform me that they didn't even have he Apillar in stock when I ordered it. My gauges will be here today and I don't even have a tracking number from MAP yet.How is the fitment of these universal ones at the parts stored. any of you ever tried to use one?
  28. Suspension woes

    I'm in need of a new suspension setup. I'm not looking for anything special so I was going to go with simple AGX adjustables and decent springs. But it looks like the AGXs are $150+ a piece... So $600 before shipping and before springs??? Seems like it would close to coilover prices before its...

  36. Fuel pump rewire help

    I have been reading the vfaq on it for a couple of days but honestly some of the things on VFAQ are written out the best. I'm sure it much more understandable after you do it... But I'm also a hands on learner not a read and learn guy. Couple that with the fact that I dislike wiring and it means...
  37. No check valve in fuel pump area...

    Trying a little due dilligance before my fuel pump arrive so I pull the cover to spray down the fittings as I assume its never been done. Only to see... No blue check valve!So what are the rubber lines doing if not flowing through a check valve...Do I need it?
  38. Galant GSX fuel pump size

    I'm not sure why it never occurred to me that one of my problems may indeed be fuel. My mods are far from out running the stock turbo 4g63 fuel pump but are the non turbo fuel pumps smaller/push less? It doesn't matter so much anymore since I'm upgrading shortly but it would be nice for general...
  39. WTB: EPROM ECU chipped 550/2gmaf/ignore knock

    It's a long shot but worth a try. The three things I need are 550cc injectors, 2g Maf, and ignoring knock under 3500.
  40. Base timing advance

    So ever since my first day with the 4g63 platform I've been told to set it to +10 degrees.Last night I was googling something and found a gvr4 link to a guy asking about rich knock I believe and everyone said his timin was to aggressive and it should be set to +5 degrees at idle.
  41. Help with knock. (Making progress)

    Ok. This has been an on going problem for a while. For SOMR reason MMCD logger is showing 0-46 counts of knock depending on load. This can be at idle giving it a free rev or under normal cruising condition also during WOT pulls. As it appears on the logger... RPMs go up->knock comes on->timing...

  44. Breaking up, not like normal

    This problem started happening out of the blue. No changes were made to the car. Only current issues that I know of is the lifter tick causing knock.At the boost for boobs meet I took a right turn in second gear around 3500 RPMs (usually where the knock goes away) I got in it coming out of...

    In need of a brake master cyl for my galant GSX. My seals are leaking at the booster.
  47. Help with (fake) knock

    I'm fairly positive my knock is being caused by the terribly loud lifter ticking. But aside from a lot of "that was my problem" reading I have no concrete evidence.Sitting at idle if I give the car some throttle ill get 40 some counts of knock. If I give it any throttle under 3k I get 40...
  48. Today's intercooler install

    Well actually its a Interfooler because I don't have any piping yet. But I wanted to get it mounted so I can measure out my future piping. Measured out to 24Lx12Hx3W. It far exceeds and is probably way to large for my setup but it can't be any worse than the stock 1g side mount.
