    Best Little Machine Shops in Michigan

    The machine shop I currently use is Koffels Place in Commerce. They are currently doing a Nissan VQ engine for me now. I dont think BCP in Livonia does machine work themselves. They send that out. You need to find out if your block is still usable with the damage to Cyl 1. Are you looking to...

    The Batmobile_Engage Member Journal

    Well I ran E85 for about 4 years. There are a few ways to make sure you dont have failures. 1) test the e85 at the beginning of the year. 2) clean your injectors every year you store it 3) get fuel from the same place every time you fill up (there was a shell that had pretty much e90 all...

    Startup smoke

    After sitting for a while it would typically be valve seals. Even on a built motor, the rings should seal. Unless they set the ring gaps pretty large I would expect a little blow by and smoke on startup. I know manley uses harder rings and it might take a little heat to get them to seal after...

    HolyCrapItsFast... Cyberu belongs to someone else now.

    I can get a deal on haltech. However, they do not make a plug and play kit for newer than 05. http://www.haltech.com/product/platinum-pro-plug-in-series/subaru-wrx/ Your best bet would to call them and see what you need and then I can place the order. :tup:

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    Soo I sold the car before I could get it on the dyno but I was sure happy with it. It pulled hard at 16psi. It had a base tune with the stock timing map. Basically added fuel for the bigger turbo. On virtual dyno it was at 315whp at 16psi. If anyone is interested in getting one, PM me for...

    CEL P0302 help

    After a few days, it is starting to run worse and is smoking like crazy. (I think the smoke is from the crappy PCV system). Its definitely misfiring. We monitored it using ROM raider. The misfire count is through the roof. Also it shakes at idle. I did swap the injectors, plus and coils with no...
