My low milage turbo Prep

[edsel1134]

Only on start and after revving it smokes a bit

[edsel1134]

The car is idling weird and. Smoking now and smell of gas.. I think a line came loose or Simenon not driving it till I dig into it the weekend

I liftedy my head with metric blues at 1bar and hydro locked my SETA. Of course I was a dumb ass and used a VR head gasket. Also I've heard first hand metric blues have slightly smaller threads and can strip the treads in the block. 42lb injectors or cheap and easy to get. I say before you do ANYTHING ELSE get a wide band sensor and get use to megasquirt.

I did the same thing with a goetze hg

The Hissing noise is coming from the driver side rear wheel near where the back seat is.. And only when car is running.. And today she started like a champ dunno.
From the looks of it the turbo, ecu, and manifolds are 3/4 of the price. Depeding on turbo and injectors

Just a head gasket company.

Mls? Sorry acronyms bug me lol <3

Just get ARP's so you don't have to worry about it trust me I wish I would have never done metric blues

why do you say this? not trying to start a debate thread in this one, just curious as i have metric blues.. you can PM if you so please

250 whp is honestly a cake walk for a forced induction m20. get a decent holset, run some delphi 42s, ms, headstuds and a mls and you can make 250 wheel with like 6-8lbs of boost. im running metric blues, have heard of 400hp strip guys running metric blues, its hit and miss. good cheap alternative but in effect is precisely that, 'cheap'.

[edsel1134]

Looks to be easier then the s50 since it's SOHC.. And looks like I don't have to remove much just take in for resurface.. But my problem is I will pull the head and be like.. Hmmmmm s50 cam? Then ideas start flowing and about 4k later my 1500$ turbo build is totally fucked lol

[Pootis]

I vote pull the head. New head gasket timing belt and all that is always good

[edsel1134]

[edsel1134]

Arp.. Studs? Hmm now is it like the s50 wher when u replace the bolts might as well just pull te head? Or just call it good and replace with arp studs and tighten?

O-ringed block + stock hg and ARPs can handle more than you can think about, all day running ...
