Run some forged pistons now

 

Alright so do the compression test, all cylinders should be within the roughly same area(170-200ish). If that checks out, run a leak down test just in case the compression test can't pick it up. After that checks out fine, tune tune tune.

Probably your best bet.

 

I dont have another car to drive or I would man, trust me.

Thanks man. Ill keep you updated with this. hopefully its just tuning, if so I gotta find someone with HPT

 

does the car sound like a WRX with an exhaust at idle?

 

No, its like putt putt here and there.

But then again I have stock exhaust

 

Mine does the exact same thing and she runs just fine.

Sometimes it sounds like it has a slight cam in it which makes me think my motor went poo poo, but then I remember that is how it always sounded.

 

yeah well my cars all messed up, Mods FTW!! haha jk, but yeah i get a little pop here and there. Just do a compression check and see whats up. you got anyone that can do that for you?

 

Yea, mine runs fine all the way up to redline now, but with the scanner hooked up you can see cyl 2 missing at idle with the misfire graph up

 

yeah ron has tuned my car. and Im inthe same boat you are man, Its getting harder and harder to keep using it at a daily driver shoot me a PM well chat more

but anyways, its in the tune, your timing is off

 

hmmmm idk

Come to NY and go to queens and get retuned by BCP, best tuner ever

 

Yea, he sent me a tune I just need to find someone in my area with hpt

 

buy hp tuners

 

If I had to guess, I would say that you did not get flow matched 60s and the tune is off. Fuel side, not timing.

 

I got the 60's that TAG sells not sure if they are or not.

Actually just checked tags website, they are flow matched

 

so that would be 3 cars having serious issues now...
sounds to me like rons tuning is the ****.

 

i agree, 2.8" pulley and no HE or Alky injection is not very smart at all. You do realize more boost creates more heat right?

 

bit of a broad statement.
and not really true.

my 2.8 has rarely gotten me over 135* IAT2.
