[ONEKLEAN91]

steve slamm that bit*h!!!

[drummersteve7]

no slamming, just a descent drop.

putting the koni yellows and GC's on it.
my FMIC sits to the legend lip.
I do not wanna risk losing either one.

[drummersteve7]

ok well getting tuned tomorrow at 1pm.

also switching to hondata unfortunately.
but probably going the s300 route.

[drummersteve7]

finally got this today!

we noticed a problem with the 3500 rpm powerband, so going in for retuning.
hopefully we can figure it out!

probably be able to get a lil more power.

[twokexlv6coupe]

noiiiceee moar tq than hp is always fun!! pretty close to how much power i'm making, and boy is it fun on the street!!!

have fun w/ it mang, you surely deserve it!

[drummersteve7]

turbo is too small drops off at 5500. kinda sucks, but still fun, the next build will have a well proportioned snail!

figuring out shit now!

[WilliamW]

HEY, if your turbo is too small can't you easily upgrade to a MHI EVO III 16G turbo or possibly even a 20G turbo setup without changing out your exhaust and intake setup? Just a thought, I can' remember what your running now. so i'm probably blabbing nonsense especially if you ALREADY have a EVO III 16G.

[dbsharp]

what cam are you running? You might wanna look into getting a better cam if it is stock like I suspect it is.

Hondata? why? the tuner couldn't tune ectune? hell if he doesn't know the software that well, its about time he learned! Personally, I am more than happy to learn a new tuning software if the opportunity presents itself.

[drummersteve7]

already rocking an evo iii 16g.

no cams, as I do not wanna make this a huge build. it is just to hold me over until I get my h22 fully built.

[drummersteve7]

I was driving and oil all over the engine bay around tranny area.
white smoke coming out the tailpipe like crazy...coolant!


symptoms of headgasket:
chocolate milk oil
white smoke out the tailpipe
need to check spark plugs and cylinder compression
alos going to pop radiator cap and check for bubbles with engine running.

getting cranky working on this car, my fault, the one gasket I did not replace. hahaha
just need to do a full build.

I will be getting the red car finished.
and deal with this later.

[quickangel93]

dude you got nothing good ever coming out of this black cb. i think its sinned

[jimmybean21]

damn steve that really sucks was looking forward to seeing it real soon. hope your luck gets better.

[drummersteve7]

ya ever since I picked up 2 shitty F22 blocks from PA!

its all good Jimmy, gotta think positive.
Its got issues, but thats what I get for boosting a stock block.

New headgasket ordered. If that does not fix it then, I am putting a H22 in it while I build for boost!
but I will have to get my red car going.

is all good just got a sweet ass job offer to start the day I leave the Navy.
If this truly happens. My boost build will be built quicker than I thought.

[chessboxer]

Sorry to hear the bad luck but I hope your new jorb works out!
