S5 turbo's have dual openings and doors for the wastegate operation. by design it already controls boost much better but will still creep bad when the exhaust is opened up!

there is less room to port because both holes can end up together and then it gets complex. you basically do the same thing as with an S4 wastegate just keep enough bridge between them and you should be fine. the only time i've ever seen a problem was on a 9.7:1 compression 6port setup. still crept to 15psi no matter what hahaha

 

Yep, because i'm ADD when it comes to engines i have no idea why. it's just never enough!!!! LOL

i pulled it out, no issues at all, and sold it to a guy on this forum i now have what i hope to be my final setup for a long time. maybe this time i'll be satisfied hahaha


atleast for a little longer

 

NEVER SATISFIED! Trust me on this one. I know that will be my undoing. I found this link http://www.rotorwiki.com/images/6/6e...ngdiagrams.pdf

The S4 turbo doesnt use the variable resistor, right? So as I understand the wiring diagram I can ditch the wiper motor, actuator, sub-zero motor, by-pass air control valve, port air solenoid valve, split air solinoid valve, all the egr stuff, bac, air by-pass sol. valve, air supply valve, and that should be about it on the right side harness.

 

After digging thru the harness, I have pretty much got it down to the basics. I will still need the 86 NA wiring diagram (Stu), and the 87 Turbo wiring diagram. The only thing that is kinda holding me up right now is the O2 sensor wire. The PO had already put his "touch" on it and I have had to repair some stuff. O'well, I keep telling myself "I asked for it"

 

$3499 for a new S4 TII engine block with 3mm seals... who thinks this is a good price?

 

for the long block? even still that's a more than I would pay for it...

 

too much unless it is a PP T2 block

 

you could get a whole TII for that price

 

I called the guy about that fc today and its at a shop in charlotte and the guy said the owner died i guess while they had it and the family just asked them to get rid of it.

 

TO ANYONE WHO HAS NOTHING TO DO TOMORROW!

I need some electrical help, for those who have heard it at the meets or wherever i have always had to click my key a million times b4 it would turn over well its getting old i need someone with some wiring/electrics skills to come take a look tomorrow.....

ANY VOLUNTEERS?

My alternator is good, my starter and solenoid are brand new, so i know it has to be a grounding or wiring prob.....HELP!

 

You need to remove the ignition switch and clean the contacts inside it. This is a very common issue with the FD's

 

It still needs to go thru the nasty ordeal as described earlier with DMV etc.. Now a death certificate and other crap is probably going to be needed for the remaining family to transfer it over. OR The shop can get permission from the owners family and get a Mechanics lean on the car. Which basically transfers ownership of the vehicle to the shop, so they can sell it to recover their expenses. It unfortunetly gets a little more difficult when someone dies. That said, Everyone should make out a living will so there are no questions what happens to your stuff etc.. OR get the families info from the shop and deal with them directly. The shop shouldn't care, they should just want the car gone

 

Thanks to Josh Long coming down today and bringing some more goodies for the TII. I now have 550 primary injectors and 680 secondarys. We also got the right side engine harness almost done. I am going to shorten some of the wires to make sure I don't have alot of excess laying all over the engine. Now I just have to start on the left side! BTW Stu, I still need those wiring diagrams.....

 

Well shoot! I'm glad you said that cuz mine does the same thing (unless it was the leading coil u fixed). I may still give that a try tho... has it done it to you while trying to start it up?

 

Yeah it does the "no reaction" thing every now and then.

Call me before you head over tomorrow. I have to be in Hendersonville( mountains) for the first half of the day( small claims court)

 

Its like 140 pages. I am not at home so I will transfer it to one of the laptops or a CD and get it to ya. I got most my stuff in the house, then Josh decided he liked my TV and system more, so now its in the living room.

 

I have some FD 550 primaries and 850 secondaries if anyone needs some Don't know if they interchange with the rails. Are the ones you have top or side feed?

 

Don't tell me he's smackin you around already!! Don't be the new fish in jail.

 

how do u get that out? and u Disconnect the battery out right?

 

umm thats usually where you insert that thing called a ummmmmmm i think a key? sorry had to do it.

 

No prob.. i'll be flyin in around 11:20 in the morning and the rest of the day will probably be spent settling back in but I will most likely give ya a call around 6-7ish and see whats up. Who knows! maybe we can go hit up Sam's crib sometime this week too?

 

i know smart ***....i was sayin how do u get to the ignition switch coils so i can clean them...

 

I understand. I wouldn't want it all on paper anyway. Putting it on a disk is better anyway. I can print off what I need. Anthony, you and Dave are welcome to come up and check the new project out

To answer Dave's question, the injectors on the first and second gens are top feed. I'm not sure about the 3rd gens. The second gens also use a resistor pack in conjunction with the injectors. You have to use the right resistor pack with whether you are using high or low impedence injectors. The injectors I'm using are the stock 550 TII primarys, and the secondarys are the stock 680 GSL-SE. These are hard to come by.

 

So i got the ignition switch out it was filthy, and this was my fault i knocked the switch and all of its internals over so now i hav no idea how they were aranged...i did clean the terminals....i know u could last tim STU but any body wanna com take a look tommorrow?

 

Hey Cory maybe we can do a local part out. Couple chip ins, part out then salvage. I do need a rear housing, ha ha. I can put up maybe half if we just had somewhere to put it .
