drop your fuel pressure
a CH.
OMG, that doesn't stand for what I think it does, does it? Ahh, New England profanity. I can't explain why, but all things vulgar sound even more so in that accent.
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: ledzeppac on May 30 2006, 01:25:04 PM: oh yah dutt hahahaha whatever.

My fuel pressure gauge is fucked but I think I am running lower than 40lbs line off. Around 38. bls sit around 130-133 at WFO....

what are some cause of false knock? And how the hell do you fix it? I mean if my downpipe is hitting what do I do or how do I know its actually the downpipe? ... etc...

Post by: ledzeppac on May 30 2006, 01:34:23 PM: stock pipe. Lou put a "different" sensor on and its 12lbs.

I have no idea where it is hitting or if it even is... but the knock is down low but its alot like 10. If I ease into it I can get WFO with very very little KR...

stupid cars

I tried to check voltage once but didnt really know how to do it.... I just pulled off the hot lead and tried to check it but it read nothing with the ignition on... kinda wierd...

Title: I was ass raped
Post by: 87natty on May 30 2006, 05:22:02 PM: Jesus, didn't Lou bend you over to fix it? Cam, timing chain, etc? What else could be wrong? Turn up your furl pressure and swap the chip out. Try an Eric Fisher (Turbo Tweak).

Gimme a call, we'll chill sometime, and drink next to our shitty cars.

My dash still doenst work.
Title: Re: I was ass raped
Post by: Recklessrob on May 30 2006, 09:40:39 PM: Check your motor mounts to make sure your engine isn't jumping around.
Also check the trans mount. It sounds mechanical whereas your knock is somewhat diminished when you ease into it. Also check for other loose brackets such as alternator, intercoller, loose tourqe converter bolts , and anything that could
make noise etc...These things are old now. Everything wears out, loosens up,
and breaks. So you have to be vigilant.
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: ledzeppac on May 30 2006, 09:54:05 PM: new motor mount, tranny was replaced no difference, no loose bolts up front, torque converter bolts are tight, torque strap on... same issue before AND after all these things were checked...

My car does shift HARD so that could be it... but I dont know
Title: Re: I was ass raped
Post by: DCEPTCN on May 30 2006, 10:28:53 PM: Have you got a torque strap?

Post by: Racer X on May 30 2006, 11:28:31 PM: Is your intercooler bouncing off the sway bar?
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: 87natty on May 31 2006, 12:02:28 AM: LOL. My intercooler bounces off the ground, damn springs.

Thread? Officially hijacked!
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: ledzeppac on May 31 2006, 01:06:42 AM: hmmm it rests on the sway bar I think but I doubt that would cause any knock.... would it?
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: Be4u on May 31 2006, 07:33:13 AM: wha? rests on the swaybar?

Title: Re: I was ass raped
Post by: Recklessrob on May 31 2006, 12:45:26 PM: Yes, the noise made by the intercooler hitting the swaybar can be transmitted throught the brackets to the engine block.

Title: I was ass raped
Post by: ledzeppac on May 31 2006, 02:17:26 PM: where do I buy the magic non-touching spray?

and I seriously doubt that would cause 8-10 Kr....
Title: Re: I was ass raped
Post by: DCEPTCN on May 31 2006, 02:26:35 PM: Jesus Christ, could somebody go fix his damn car already?
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: Top Speed on May 31 2006, 02:36:08 PM: If your intercooler is hitting the sway bar, then it needs to be repositioned. This can be accomplished by adjusting or tweaking the brackets and also the hoses. There is no magic spray.
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: Racer X on May 31 2006, 02:38:07 PM: I had my IC hitting the sway bar (both stock) and found that one of the brackets had come loose.
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: Be4u on May 31 2006, 03:06:29 PM: What the fuck is so wrong that makes your IC hit the swaybar? Check your pass side bracket. Tighten it up or bend it up a little.

Also, maybe your turbo is clocked in a downward position letting you IC rest lower with no support? Reclock it?
Title: Re: I was ass raped
Post by: Dragonational on December 23 2006, 11:27:33 AM: When is the Knock Happening (if you stated this already sorry) is it at the shifts or all the time? 8 to 10 degrees is Fin high. now for the stupid questions if you turn the boost down does the knock go away or stay there? If you havent tryed race gas yet try it with the same boost lvl and see if knock is the same. If you turn the boost down and you have to turn it way way down then i would say that the knock is false. If you turn it down and the knock stays then you have bigger fish to fry. I am sure you probably know all this already but i am just trying to start simple.
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: ledzeppac on December 23 2006, 07:33:58 PM: knock ramps ups with boost starting at 4-5... so that would assume its real. For example:
5lbs 2.3 kr
7lbs 4.5 kr
10lbs 11kr

but if I hold 10lbs for shits and giggles it will jump around 7. 14.12.11.10.15 ...etc...

race gas has been in but that just "richens" it up way to much and wont spool the turbo or even allow rpms to climb.

Ive taken out timing in the T+ and no change.

oh well, ithe knocks been there for 3 years so I'm not really missing anything
Title: I was ass raped
Post by: 87natty on December 23 2006, 10:05:07 PM: Damn, didn't you fly great with 100 octane? List all the shit you've replaced so far. Might be your cam sensor or something.
