Re: Starting issues after piggyback ECU removal

Wondering if you have stock injectors. Likely not. Silvertop injectors oem are like a fax machine / 90's PC yellowed plastic beige.. I've had issues w fuel pump/relay just not being happy with a low battery on my s13.. it would crank slowly, but couldn't keep the fuel pump going reliably. After char...

Re: Front brake calliper slider pin cap

old rubber brake lines can also cause mush. Now that i think about it, ive never adjusted a brake pedal push rod. That's probably the method with the booster push rod measurement tool. That would definitely add a ton of pedal travel if wrong. As above, slider cover has no impact on pedal travel or f...

Re: Question on machining costs

I think location is also a massive factor. Trying to get this work done in San Francisco might be $5-7k while far outside the city could be $2-4k

Re: replaced master/slave cylinders, clutch worse

It's likely a clutch hydraulic bleeding issue. Confirm the slave moves as the clutch pedal travels, toss a cell phone down there recording and call out where you are in the pedal travel. If you're like 50% of the pedal traveled and the slave hasn't moved yet, it needs to be bled (or there is a leak ...

Re: fuel rail and injector options and fabricator suggestions

nvm, i found some fuel rail extrusions, do you have any recomendations for size? If you aren't already running an AFPR to match the fitting size from, just plan on AN -6. Way more than enough, and common sizing for AEM AFPR. Mcmaster for raw materials, Earl's fittings. If you need aluminum or stain...

Re: fuel rail and injector options and fabricator suggestions

Measure the inner diameter of where the injector seats to figure out which top feed injector size you need. Measure the distance between injector port centers. Now you roughly know what you need. Before buying injectors, check out the sweet youtube videos on building a custom fuel rail. There is dif...

Re: blue smoke

Bummer... Valve stem seals tend to cause blue smoke especially after downshifts off throttle (high vacuum in the head). It will then smoke once you get back on throttle. Usually a block should be machined to fit the pistons to get the right wall clearances, and the rings should be gapped to account ...
