Yes I have, and I have assembled street driven 13b's with more power than that, All Im trying to say is don;t poo poo someone for giving someone help on the forum if you don't have anything better to add yourself, I think that's fair enough?

 

hey I love how helpful this has been but cant we just get along and not make this for bragging rights, I mean everyone here posted to help not to hurt.

 

Sorry you are so right, Ill keep my mouth shut and get back to business, Hows porting going on Mark 2?
I talked to the guy I ported the engine in the pics for, he has assembled it but the engines at one end of the country and the car at the other so hes waiting to get a good deal on shipping to ship the car north, Hes talking about going megasquirt for the ecu, hopefully he will have it up in running early in the new year, Ill keep you posted with the outcome.

 

i don't think you'll notice much of any change in the power band of the engine with that porting. the primary porting needs to be opened up more versus just putting a taper on the closing edge and open up the leading edge more. the secondary main port can also be opened up more towards the closing edge closest to the 5/6th ports. the bridge was almost useless, especially closing it so late versus trying to draw more power out of those ports by opening it earlier.

why do i always have to be the honest bad guy?

 

My point was that your 'holier than thou' attitude isn't needed here on the forum. Read this part of your post and tell me that you don't look like a complete ***:

One of my jobs as a moderator is to make sure the forum is full of productive posts in the tech section, not people taking unnecessary juvenile potshots.

With my 25,000 plus posts I have helped a ton of people on this site over the years.... your single helpful post included taking a low blow aimed at the rest of the community in general. In my experience anyone with an attitude like the one shown in that post has a low self-esteem, trying to bring others down to appear better than them.

Btw, I've also built street-driven FDs making more power than my personal road race/street car.... I port and build as a hobby on nights/weekends and have about forty 400+ rwhp FDs on the road since 2006.

I don't think so.

 

And if all goes well, you'll have 41. ;-) ^^

 

ditto that, i have built so many cars that make gobs more power than my own, then again i have about 70k on my engine now pushing over twice the horsepower it came from the factory with for nearly it's whole life. sometimes reliability is a better aim than a dyno queen to prove something to people. i hesitate making more power with it because the rear iron is already a weak point on the series 4, but being that i hardly drive it anymore perhaps it's time.

 

Karack on the this try I used the same pri but I really opened the bridge much earlier and closed it earlier my computer is giving me a hard time but ill try to post them up asap.
and Its cool aeroserv, but I got the engine in and im fighting the pita wiring harnness. she should be runnin tomoro though. thats cool definitely wana see what she does/sounds like. next month im making my intake and exhaust, and its all gona be custom ( got some ideas and im still in school so im broke as a joke lol its much cheaper for me to make it.).

 

I also cleaned up that pri and did more bowl work.

 

I wish more people thought this way. I will never ever show a dyno chart to anyone ever since practically no one realizes that one of the least important parts of it is the peak number.

 

so true I hate having to explain that peak doesn't mean drivable.

 

so she ran kinda today

 

so my oil pressure just sky rockets while cranking, like strait to 110 psi! bearing clearance was with in spec. maybe the oil pressure regulator is bad? how should I test? should I even worry?

 

does it show any oil pressure with just the key on?

 

no just after i crank it a minute. it goes up as im cranking it slowly. then leaks down to nothing.

 

try swapping the oil pressure sending unit if you have a spare and recheck it.

 

thanks and if that doesnt work what would you recommend?

 

where are you measuring oil px? stock gauge? Is your oiling system stock?

 

yea stock s4

 

on a side note i think i put the wrong injectors in (the sec in the car now spec out to 13ohms spares 2ohms even) . ;( and would this be usable?

 

just reliesed why it wont work (forgot theres 2 different impedance for these cars) gona swap them out later.

 

swaped them tried and tried to start, but the only luck I had was feeding her some gas down the intake. she fired right up im getting like 125psi and shes ran a total of 30sec lol. but in all seriousness im stumped the last thing i can think of is a break in the harness or a clog in the line or rail. thanks and happy thanksgiving to all

 

Everything checked out even fuel pressure... she wants to fire but still nothing... anyone got any ideas as to what could be happening? Ask anything you need to know please.
thanks

 

SHE RUUNNNNS !!!!!!!! it was a bad cas

 

sounds great guys il post a vid tomoro (its dark and cold here in wilmington)
