Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Man, it just seems so laggy and peaky. Did you have boost leaks or exhaust leaks? Did shane print you off a boost graph?
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
No leaks at all. I do have brads old huge fmic on the car. The mbc that I had on there was not working right. Put on one of Shane's then the sensor blew out.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
oh ok
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
How does a sensor just blow out? Did you not tighten it??
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Know Idea why it came out. Everything was tight on the car. I drove it around for almost a week before the tune.
It is the bottom end check it out last night. It takes alot to turn it over with out plugs in it. |

Yep. The Spyder was the 4th car I had it in over the last 8 years. It will be fixed or replaced if I can find a good deal on a short block

The engine has been in 4 of my cars and has been running for 8 years. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...9BA53ECB74.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Ouch, well at least you got good use of the engine! What are the plans for it then? Just gonna throw another 2g/1g combo in it?
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Don't know right now. Going to see if I can find a good short block now to get it back up ASAP. To bad I sold my built bottom end that I never put together for the car last winter.

Looking for a 6 bolt or late 7. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

Nick just a 6 bolt. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
I have a 6 bolt short block that ran when removed but the pistons have some minor valve contact. It will buff out.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Thanks for the offer guys. I am going to pick up Steve's spare short block.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Picked up the new bottom end yesterday from Steve. It is the same set up I had in the car. 2g pistons on 1g rods. Just need to get a oil pump and put it together.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...4B72FAFF73.jpg Also got the new 10an oil cooler put on with new brackets. It is a lot bigger than the 8am cooler that was on the car. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...BBBCD9E27B.jpg Will be dropping the head off today to get cleaned. Will be back running soon |

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Identical head setup to mine, should be lots of fun.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Nice work! Moving fast! Get it done before the snow flies!
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
As soon as the turbo fitting shows up it will be back on the road. Need it done so I can use it as my d.d. Sad it will be used all year round but I sold the mirage hatch this spring.
Pretty much now. Get the Spyder done Work on the Evo and get it back together by spring Bring home my 51 truck in the spring and work on that. Still thinking of selling the sbc 400 and put in a 2.4 in it. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Shit man I just got my engine stand back, lmk if you need it in the future.
Also...I have a present for you...something I found while up north last weekend. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Well the Spyder is down for the 2nd since it has been running. Made it to hwy 7 on 169 on the way to work today. Shitty thing is I sold my spare EPROM to put it back together after the motor died the 1st time.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...D2512F0F10.jpg On another note. I have a turbo on the way. Got a 50trim for a great price. Got it fixed it was burnt all the way to the pin. Found out the o2 sensor was shorted out and burnt the trace off the board. Fixed the o2 sensor also. Now the car pulls all the way though 30psi. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...D9413337E6.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Holy shit so the turbo is fine and it was jus the ecu all along? No way! That's awesome!!
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
turbo is still bad seals blown and has a bad surge.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
picked up a pte5031e for dirt cheap that is in great shape. the hot side was decked flat both flanges and the cold side was powder coated almost chrome. Will be taking off the evo 3 turbo on my weekend and putting the new turbo on. The only thing it was missing was the hot side clamps. It just had the bolts holding it lucky i still have the bad gt40 and took them off that and reused them.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...FCE060B69E.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
got the new turbo put on. Also found out the e3 16g is just fine and was not the smoking problem. So it will be up for sale now.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...DAF917FD17.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...DB06A688DC.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
God I hope I'm not in the same boat, my turbo came off today for rebuild, if it goes back on and I still burn oil I'll probably cry.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Head leaking oil instead?
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
It was the way the catch can was made. It was the one that was in the hatch back and was not hooked up. I bet that is why it was not used at the time. It is now fixed Nd working like it should. The intake pipe have 1/2 a qt of oil in it. Going to make a 2nd can for the breather to intake pipe tomorrow. Car works good now pulls all the way to 30psi.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
woot! Glad to hear its ripping it up!
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Well it is all apart in the garage for the 3rd time :(
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
What happened?
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
lifted the head ho the way to work yesterday. ended up dumping oil in to 2&3 and out the front of the block from one of the head drain holes. Also now the pte5031e has good side to side play.
so head has to go back to gosh to be cleaned and checked a 2nd time new head studs new head gasket find a timming cover (it broke taking it out) Get the pte 5031e fixed or have it made in to a billet pte50 for around 600.00 (all new but reuse my hot side) http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...390A08111F.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...390DF560FD.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...39171187D4.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...3905A708DC.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...390004A22A.jpg also time for a new valve cover http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...39120F1A36.jpg was going to send one off to have it powder coated hot pink them hydro dipped with hello kitty but that is now on the back burner |
