we took care of that coolant leak and fired up the motor. Lots of lil bugs need to work out still. valves are making alot of noise....sucks. got some exhaust leaks but thats no prob. My Coolant temp sensor for the fan fried too so i have to get one tomorrow...Then gotta tune the AFC and AVC-R. I guess not gonna be ready for the race this sunday. HOpefully can work out these probs and then ill post more impressions.

 

step it up a notch!

 

glad to hear the turbo max is (close to) running again.

 

Ahhh shimming solid lifters, what fun!!!

Get back to work!!!

 

Congrats!!! At least it's alive and running now... Now ya just got to get it running right!

 

yep and hopefully nothing else goes wrong. Supposely the shop already properly shimmed the mechanical lifters so i guess gotta make a trip back there....

 

you best not christen the motor with another mouse. use champagne this time.

 

keep pushing on. good to hear about the coolant leak being fixed. i keep living through other people, and your the TURBO guy i am living through, so i hope everything comes together soon for you.

 

Solid lifters? Wow... Where do you find those or did you fabricate them? Whats the advantage?

I know when I build my motor the VTC's are going to find a home.... in my garbage can!! TTZ cams/TTZ pistons/TTZ injectors/JWT ECU Also considering throwing the batt. in the trunk and putting the (bigger)turbo there.

I jsut wanted to say I love driving my car vrroooom/whoosh(squeal)/*pshhhh.... vroom/whoosh(squeal)/*pshhhhh

Everybody should turbo their Maxima.

 

dammmmmm

i got a loud clicking clacking noise. I havent checked it out yet but it sounds like valve or rod knock....noOooOOooooo.....anyways, it was running good for awhile and i was playing around with it. i get 2 lbs of boost at 2200rpms.

 

do you have to do that one cool down thing before shutting your engine off when you park your car?

 

huh? you mean after driving it let the car run for awhile before shutting off rite? yea, i want to get a turbo timer but supposely it doesnt work with Clifford G4 alarms.

 

I just drive easy the last mile or so before I get to where I am going to park and then I just shut it off. I think turbo timers are more gimmick than anything, and the only time that they would have a purpose is if you had just run your car real hard and then shut it down. The whole purpose is to circulate oil through the turbo if its real hot, but just drive normally the last couple miles and you're fine.
