Well the cars down again put in my new starter last thursday and it worked good but still sounded funky.
Well this afternoon it decided that it wanted to engage the flywheel but just grind on it instead of spinning it.
So my 1 week old flywheel is fucked and the trans is coming out tomorrow night.
I ended up getting a used fidanza from a buddy. As much as I really don't wanna run another fidanza theres not really a choice, since I'm out of money and I have a small DSM part tab running with him lol.
Just have to decide if the friction surface is within spec to be used. If it is I'll attempt to do a flywheel swap after work, after researching clutch swaps most people claim to be able to do it all said and done in about 3hrs, Hopefully if nothing breaks or anything else is found wrong, It'll be back on the road tomorrow night.

 you can spin the rod to lengthen or shorten to where it works. might help a lil bit. |
Ya The clutch disengagement issue definitely needs to be solved. I think some air is stuck in the slave itself somehow and its not coming out when the clutch is bled, The clutch wouldn't disengage at all tonight on the way home no matter if I pumped it or anything. This was a really big problem especially since I couldn't let the car die with the starter unable to grab the flywheel and me not being able to push start the car on ice alone.

What are you tuned with/for? E85 or pump?
I thought guys with creep issues sometimes just turned up the boost on their mbc so the car would get to that boost level, then not go any higher? lol
Ex: car is set to 14psi, creeps to 22, so they set it to 22, then just let it taper? That make any sense?
Maybe try getting a tubular o2 housing or porting it if you don't want to risk porting the cracked turbine housing.

After looking at the pic the compressor wheel does like like its pretty fucked up lol its just oil though, I wish i would have taken more pics of it all clean.
The cars tuned by me on a SAFC with just pump for now. Its a very safe tune though since I was using a narrow band/ O2 voltage monitoring.
Before the "CREEP" issues I was running 17lbs on the stock injectors safely.
This thing actually ripped pretty good for being on only 17lbs., It feels faster than my old 2g with a 2.3 and 50trim on 10lbs although that one was untuned.
My buddy said the same thing about the boost creep,"just get some bigger injectors and weld the wastegate shut" hahah, but I would like to have the peace of mind of some L19s and a Permatorque before the boost goes any higher.
I'm still debating on which route to take with that, Nice header with external wg or a tubular o2 with an external wg. Maybe ill just port the living hell out of the turbine housing and hope it doesn't crack any further or get another housing from my buddy. I had planned on upgrading turbos after i get done with my supporting mods/maintence.
