just did another vacuum test........now up to 14-15psi & 21-22psi @ 2k rpm

Glad to here man.. I just ordered my rebuilt kit and clutch and taking my wheels to my cousins shop to spray, I can't wait to be as happy as you lol

Good news Indeed!

i never like mechanical, cuz if it starts leaking coolant and or worst oil into the cabin ... its gonna be a bitch to clean it up.

iirc there is no coolant or oil in the cabin with mech gauges

:lol: IIRC, you are wrong noob.

i thought there was a different fluid going to the gauges for safety.

Nope.

u damn noob. its called mechanical gauge for a reason. :lol:

my new defi control unit replacement will come from japan soon, but i will remove the set i have now and install the newest set from defi into my 8, save the current set for my 7

yea...I freaked the first time I saw oil coming up the line....I was yelling turn it off....turn it off:lol:

Woot

drain plug after several hundred miles......this makes oil change 3 in 550ish miles :lol:

I always want to get a magnetic plug, where u got urs ?

ebay.....dont get the cheap aluminum one I got....on my first motor I had a nice steel one but I forgot to take it before my Reman :(

Not too bad.

that is what the first 2 OC looked like and they were both in the first 100miles.....this one is close to 450 -500 (sorry to lazy to go look at my odometer and do the math)

Bump. Drifting yet?

cant afford the tires :) but I am pulling some nice lateral "g's"

uhhhh, mechanical temperature gauges do not have fluids in the interior. Mechanical pressure gauges--do. You can buy a fluid isolator to place on the firewall but since the electrical gauges have gotten so good--there is really no need.


that looks like bigger particles than what I am used to seeing. I have a filter mag and when I cut the filter open it is more like a paste--you really cant see individual particles like that? IDK. Maybe its just because of the filter?
The way I see it the filter mag is better because of how low the drain plug is and the baffles that really restrict the flow in the bottom part of the pan. But a magnet is a magnet-all of them are good.
Does that stuff feel like paste? Probably does?

it is totally a paste, it wasn't even grainy when i rubbed it between my fingers.

I also have 4 neodymium magnets each 1" disc 3/16th think (something like 60lbs of pull all together)

you talking about THESESSSSSSEEEEEE?E?E?E?E?E?E?E??!?!?!?!?!?


:naughty:

Time to yank those now old Defi BF out and put these Advance in ...

man--thats cool!
vtec---priceless:)---now break out the connectors and soldering iron

:score::us4allswi

by the way --installed my kenne belle boost a spark--and it does make a difference. More to come.

so part of my plan was to do an oil filter relocation and that location is going to be next to my aem intake. I am the opportunity to beef up the filter type and have been looking at 13/16 filters like the M1-302. I have not really be able to find details other than it can take PSI upwards of 600#.

Thoughts on filters?

From a discussion on BITOG, the post is from a reputable member but let me look some more. What is the M1-302 spec'd for?

How about something without a Bypass rating like the Wix 51060R or the 51069R(shorter) Racing filters? We change our filters so often I doubt a bypass valve is needed.
