Re: Knock in 1st gear
I plan to rebuild it. I was going to do it around Christmas, but since it's been stable since I've owned the car (well over a year) I've decided to wait until spring.
I was leaking at a couple welds on my piping. I ground them down and fixed most of them. I still need to pressure test for the rest, but it's much better than it was. The problem started long after the install of my FMIC so I know the pipes arent the cause. (Though for good measure I will check all of my couplers)
The MAS issue is a good one. I shouldn't be over running it, because I'm not boosting much, but it may be bad. I hadn't thought of that, but I had similar issues when one went bad on me a while back. Good time to find a 2G MAS.
When I last checked my injector duty cycle the spring in my boost controller was too stiff and I was boosting 15-16psi. I was getting 110% by 6,500rpm. I have since replaced the spring and am running more conservative boost. At 17lbs on my 14B I was hitting 100% around 7,000rpm.
Fuel pump will hopefully be replaced within a week with an EVO unit so that should cure any fuel pump issues.
Checked base timing 5 or 6 months ago. It was a couple degrees off. I set it. Haven't checked it since. I'll grab my timing gun next time I get to my folks place.
