what if we got everyone to list a problem they had, and how they fixed it? this way, we can use this thread as a trouble shooter.

aww, no one? alright, i'll start it. i was getting no boost in my car, no spool. the piping that connects to the turbo outlet had come off! what a relief.

also, one time i heard a high pitched squeaking in place of my BOV. after a while, i figured out the 2 bolts that hold the bov to the flange had come loose.

 

LOL, that happened to Sam(Maxim)s car this weekend on the stripe. The expression on his face when he wasnt getting boost was priceless. The oh **** look cuz he thought he had majorly fucked up something. Whata night!!

 

omg how did u fix it?!?!?!

 

umm.. tighten them?

 

A GReddy turbo non intercooled was detonating. We resolved this by replacing the plugs with a heat range 6 (instead of 4) spark plug.

 

i couldnt get my rc 440 cc injectors to fit my plugs, i have an obd1 gsr motor and thought that i needed to buy new plugs, turns out i had to shave a little plastic of the injector to make em fit.

 

and then this one time at band camp...

 

I once blew my engine to $hit.

Too much juice. Now I use less juice.

 

samething happened to me, but i have obd-II... so i took the hardway out! i got a set of obd I plugs and soldered those on! i could have just bought clips

 

one time my track times really sucked

but then I realized I was granny shiftin', not double clutchin' like I should have

 

Car doesn't start... does it have gas? problem solved

(not on my car.. but someone i was gonna race when there car died.. a domestic no less)

 

Car dies going down the road = remove dist cap, re-install rotor cap screw, continue driving.

Car runs lean constatly, mildly detonates = replace fuel pump, fule strainer, fuel filter

Car runs on 3 cyclinders = rotate BOV so that it doesn't touch the #3 plug wire

Car dies on acceleration and lopes like is has a huge cam = Intake cam jumped 1 tooth retarded
