Have you recently gutted/deleted the cats?
Not recently, no.
bet its the clutch. If you rode it too much on a launch you will glaze that bastard too
Umm, 35 degrees with 65 mph gust....not today snookums
Working on the garage! Just installed surround sound, picking up a little sheet rock tomorrow!
I cleaned my replacement injectors that I got from Tryingtobebest & then checked the continuity on them (which shows that these things are balanced MUCH better than my old set).
Then I did this...

Sent from the garage
I'm waiting on some parts to come in to vband my front dn precat eliminator and install a flex on my downpipe between the banks, so I wanted to fire the car up today to be sure the rod bearings are installed correctly and that the oil pump would reprime (I replaced the pickup) Just cranked on it for 2 10 second bursts or so with the ECI fuse pulled and the oil pressure light went out. I put the fuse back in and it fired right up. Good oil pressure and I can't hear any bearing noise, although it would be hard over the open precats I'm running right now :)
I ran it until it for about 5 minutes, going to change the oil again once the garage clears of exhaust smell.
Started to install my ips fuel hat and redid my fuel pump hot wire kit. Now it's tucked behind the hatch plastics with the wires running through the stock loom to the fuel pump assembly.
Pulled my Fidanza cam gears off to see if 0 was really Zero.
As suspected, -1 retarded is actually 0 on all 4. Different than the -2 to -2.5 retarded off the 3sx gears are, but still, I had set my Fidanzas back in 2008. Set them to -3 E +1 I and locked them down (new thru holes and bolt/nut)
So they are not -3 E +1 I, they are actually -2 E +2 I.
So I have to make new holes and pin them at -4 E and 0 I (to make them -3 E +1 I)
Same overlap, but it will happen at a different point of the engine's rotation.
Good times.
