Hey V8, one of the bolts is stripped out on my turbo, and my wastegate is bowed-out in the middle becuase of it. Long story...you wouldn't understand these kind of things becuase you are not man enough to drive your racecar everday like we do...

So, manlyness is based upon everyday driver huh? I just got tired of driving my car around as an 11 second daily driver, started getting too used to it and began to feel slow, so I turned it into more of a handful as a 9-teen stock looking Stang. So where's your 9 second license?

The weather down here makes everything poop. I don't want to go out of my either bu tI have to get to work somehow. Stay in NY its better there. Thats where i'm from. I won't run before 8 at night usually, unless something too good to pass up shows up at a light.

 

[jsta6]

yeah, but the salt on the snow in NJ will kill your car. (rust).

In the afternoon:
Just West of the overpass on Sheridan st. The cops like to hide in the driveway to the storage place. Where you made your u-turn. The cop told me "it is like shooting fish in a barrel". That place is so easy to speed. I knew they hide there, and I still got a ticket. Luckily, the cop was a cool guy (he had an impala ss), and he let me off with just a seatbelt violation.

In the morning:
They swarm all over the place underneath the bridge at I-95 and Sheridan st.

I know about a million others. I just don't speed in Hollywood anymore. Except when I saw you...I drive my GN everyday and I can never find anyone to race, but when I saw you, I had to...

Nope, not jason/z28.com...

Bruce A.Toelle
“WE4” hooked me up, he also told me, if any one has a problem with my title, to take it up with him

Don't speed in Hollywood, got it. I'll try not to anymore.
I drive my WS6 everyday and it is hard to find anything to race. I found a Ferrari 456 on Sunday morning on 95, when I was going to check out the AutoX thing in south Miami. (Beat the 456 from a highway roll and from a stop )

hey i striped a bolt to how do i fix it shawn i get like 14 pounds thats it its the middle bolt and it has a little play in it and i think its a problem. oh and how about side by side race u the trans am and me that would be a site lol.

 

[jsta6]

Hey supa. That is the one...

I am probably going to try a bigger bolt for now.

Jeff at Economy has a way to fix it. Something about taping it out to a bigger size, and then melting/burning in a peice of metal to accept the original screw size. I forgot what the procedure was called.
============
v8, 9 second pass, what do you do the other 86,391 seconds of the day?

 

[supa6t]

i was going to pull the turbo and stick a heil coil kit in it but its a pain to do cause i got to pull the turbo off let me know what you do but i think the only why to do a real good fix is the drill it then screw the kit in and change the bolt size man what a pain. is the car running good other wise cause i have got this studder that is driving me off the wall

 

[jsta6]

Heil coil, that is it!

My car runs ok. I am using a "custom" vss set up that is giving my ECM fits right now. But I am working on it.

Did you reset your IAC, set your TPS, change fuel filter, tap on your MAF, tap your ECM, adjust your fuel pressure, etc?

 

[supa6t]

i changed plug changed coil pack and module wires new computer new mass air new ignition switch plus all u just said i just get it some times not under boost just at low rpms and there is a slight pop at shift under boost. the car still probably runs mid 12s still i raced a jeep with like 500 horse power the other day and left and it was still geting that studder i cant figure it out bro. he runds high 12s and i was a caqr or two ahead and they said with the 4 wheel drive they usally beat everone out the hole .

 

[supa6t]

what vss by the way. oh and dose the boost flutter

 

[jsta6]

VSS = vehicle speed sensor

My boost doesn't flutter becuase I have a heavy duty waste gate and a grainger valve.

What about the cam sensor, crank sensor? What is your voltage? Is your fuel pump hot wired? Sounds like maybe a ground problem...

Do you still have the 84?

 

[supa6t]

yeah i got the 84 still trying to sell for 3000. i have low volts never gets past 13 rarely. i think that maybe part of it . it might be the crank sensor to not sure i posted the waste gate problem under tech help.

 

[supa6t]

not hot wired but i am putting in a new walbro 340 to see if ti helps suposesadly it has a poston pump but i dont belive that

[jsta6]

I sure am glad I didn't see any 9 second Mustangs at the stoplight.

How embarassing would that have been?

That wouldn't be embarassing, that would be cool! I like seeing cars pull the wheels on the street!

 

[jsta6]

Hey, ssprayn (what is your name anyway?), I think I got my wastegate fixed this morning.

Still need to fix my VSS, but I think I can run without it. I will send you a PM.



PS, Mustangs rule!

 

[supa6t]

how did u fix it i was going to pull off the houseing and thenm do it or is there a better way. oh and i found out my car had a jucky fuel pump from bowling green customs which is a discount auto pump with the number scratched out.lol my car pulls hard now but i got to get the drag radials on cause at 12 pounds i blow away the tires.

 

[jsta6]

I fixed my wg and my vss last night!

Unfortunately, now my alchy kit doesn't work.

I just used a bolt that was a little bit longer and some thread sealer. If it don't hold, I will have Jeff do the heil coil thing.
