Yeah, could have. But I figured I would just upgrade my injectors since I'll have everything out anyways. That way if I ever upgrade cams I have the injectors to back it up. Got a new pcv and I'm gonna clean valves when I do this job. Maybe in near future I'll get air oil separator from Powell as well.

Any time I boosted I got the machine gun/popcorn noise and I check the transmission out, axels, no noise out of boost but then I got the random loud popping in boost. I tried doing reverse and forward, I did everything to try and replicate to see if it was transmission. Went online to troubleshoot and found a vid of bad injector seals and it's the exact same noise.

 

Going to clean the valves tomorrow. Gonna clean up the wires as well that had the casing dry rot and break on me. Wires are all fine, no chaffing or anything.
Might buy fuel lobe cam

 

100% certain I'll be getting fuel lobe cam and timing chain kit.

 

Good

 

Why not just wait for a stg1 cam?

 

I'll wait if you buy it for me.

 

Well done did the deed

 

how many miles do you have? that makes me want to clean my valves

 

75k

 

Haha I don't even have money for my own stuff

 

Cleaned all my valves today.

 

Good job man looks really good

 

Thanks man. Took my time doing it to make sure I got everything out.

 

You should get that separator to avoid doing it again lol

 

Yeah I wish I could but money again lol not too big of a task now that I've done it, it will be a breeze the second time.

Here's vid of start up with no tune. Had just got home from school

Drove smooth and felt normal. No black smoke that I noticed. I need to just drive around on HPT to see what it's like and to send to kevin.

Cleaned up the wiring kind of in my car. Had broken conduit and it was just ugly.



I just need to clean my engine bay and make it spotless and then it'll be time to do timing chain and fuel lobe cam.

 

I was planning on doing the fuel love can but Kevin told me it wouldn't really do much for me

 

Huh. He told me I'll probably need it.

 

You have Opels

 

Makes sense with the opels

 

Confirming what I already thought but Opels on e47 have quite a bit of fuel pressure drop. I will be doing a fuel thread sometime to give all the info I have

 

Interested to see this

 

If you are lsj you don't have to worry about it. It's the direct injection motors that do.

 

I was planning on doing it this spring to use the info I get with my car on Opels

 

Got my cam! Waiting on timing chain kit

 

Well here's just some stuff

My tool box


Timing chain kit




Getting excited
