Man, it just seems so laggy and peaky. Did you have boost leaks or exhaust leaks? Did shane print you off a boost graph?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

No leaks at all. I do have brads old huge fmic on the car. The mbc that I had on there was not working right. Put on one of Shane's then the sensor blew out.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

oh ok

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

How does a sensor just blow out? Did you not tighten it??

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Know Idea why it came out. Everything was tight on the car. I drove it around for almost a week before the tune.


It is the bottom end check it out last night. It takes alot to turn it over with out plugs in it.

It's a shame to see that motor finally give up the ghost from something so stupid. :(

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Yep. The Spyder was the 4th car I had it in over the last 8 years. It will be fixed or replaced if I can find a good deal on a short block

Back to the way it has been for 11 years :(

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Ouch, well at least you got good use of the engine! What are the plans for it then? Just gonna throw another 2g/1g combo in it?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Don't know right now. Going to see if I can find a good short block now to get it back up ASAP. To bad I sold my built bottom end that I never put together for the car last winter.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

I seen you going through the wi boards looking for a short lock if I find one I'll pm ya a link

Looking for a 6 bolt or late 7.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Let me know what your looking to get Steve
Nick just a 6 bolt.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

I have a 6 bolt short block that ran when removed but the pistons have some minor valve contact. It will buff out.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Thanks for the offer guys. I am going to pick up Steve's spare short block.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Picked up the new bottom end yesterday from Steve. It is the same set up I had in the car. 2g pistons on 1g rods. Just need to get a oil pump and put it together.

Also got the new 10an oil cooler put on with new brackets. It is a lot bigger than the 8am cooler that was on the car.
