I'm in Ontario Mark. Shoot me pm and I can help you out sometimes.

Battery maybe??? My battery had enough amps to turn the starter pretty good but not enough to do that and make a blue spark, so it would turn and turn then go. It's a guess based off something that happened to me. Ehhh, if it helps it helps

So this means you're automatically a mod or administrator right?

GINASQ MPGorBOOST has a place for your car. It's called the Hobby Shop and it's a fully equipped race/performance/fabrication shop that has plenty of secure storage for your car.

Ok, just talked to the horsepower guy and he said as long as my pressure isn't above the 100 psi range leave it alone. He said my main concern would be the crank seals and the turbo but depending on the design of the crank those seals should be fine. He said that if my pressure is in the 80-100 psi range I could use 5-20 or 0-20 oil and cut a whole bunch of drag on the internals to get some better performance. He also told me how to unstick the pressure release without pulling the timing cover off but said why? People pay big money for oil pressure like that and my bearings will last forever, lol. He said you need 10 psi of oil pressure for every 1000 rpms and I'm better than that right now.

Ok, just watched the video. My engine isnt a Frankenstein motor nor does it have 60,000 miles of hard driving, nor had it had two gallons of water sitting in it for two years with the same bearings being used... That's an apple and tennis ball comparison

I'll ask the guys at the shop I work at again, they said high oil pressure affects bad bearings but not fresh bearings like mine. Your link doesn't work.

Running with the high pressure.... My turbo hates it but it's a purring freeway beast otherwise... I needed a new turbo anyway

Sotty just posted a 3" exhaust....

Hey Nick, I wasn't being critical of you and I hope you didn't take it that way. We've talked on the phone and I hope you can see the tone I had on the phone is the same I have in this post.

and not even a new civic, an early 2000s civic. Like what Maylikaiii and 19C said, redoing a car without some sort of history along the way would be a mistake, they'd probably make a fwd sedan out of it with a "sport" package or if they stayed true to what the Starion was it would be priced right in between Infiniti and Mercedes Benz. Almost all of them came with leather, fabric being the option. Electronic temperature control, radio controls on the steering wheel, a radio with built in equalizer, abs, and a list of things that were standard on the car that were options(maybe) on a Mercedes Benz at the time. If this stayed true to the style it was it would be more like a wide body G37S Coupe and similarly equipped.

Got pics of the cosmos? I'd like to be considered first up, just would like pics

I think they have it tuned to 160 more horsepower

So this guy comes in and thinks his Challenger SRT8 with the 6.1 liter doesn't have enough horsepower, so we ProCharged it for him and I did some racing stripes for him... http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/F635EB76-90E1-4AC6-B7FD-7C087CF7FF2D_zpstgcf2b82.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/4DA1BEF3-F40E-4DBF-A123-E7DC5097B70D_zps3gp1p2lz.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/9C87CDB7-6EA9-43FC-BA39-169AE872747D_zpszech1rcf.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/E75A7A6D-5DA2-4BA1-BCB9-E4258168AD82_zpsf79fjvsj.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/6FCA7CC4-43F6-45A9-B2F4-848B57CCE9A9_zpsdygkydtk.jpg Then pinstriped it and cleared over the stripes http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/4048B2D4-C74B-4EB2-B7AA-F294544C16E7_zpsi48ghlx8.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/6C2D7309-EB80-4396-8ABC-4325593DB5B0_zpsvyz0c3wf.jpg

... LS reliable power here I come!?!? Between junk aftermarket parts and natural quirks with the factory setup this is getting old... I just drove 250 miles to Las Vegas and my month old starter just crapped out on me. I do love the G54B because I put somewhere near 1000 miles a week on my car and the block itself sounds like a champ but all the stupid surrounding parts makes me want to punch babies in the face... Do I pull the timing cover to remove the oil pump to unstick my relief valve? I'm pretty sure it's not the sender because it'll go down to right above half at idle

Should I unstick it or can I rock this high pressure?

I run 20-50 and the sender is a couple months old...

It will go down to 3/16" above half at idle but it'll run up to where it is in the picture at 3500 rpms. When it's cold outside it'll peg at the top of the gauge until the engine is warm then go back down to where it shows in the picture. What's the downside of this? What do you think caused it? For the most part my engine runs smoother than my g37

the front fenders are going to get flared. The back is already done, it can go down to where the rim just barely protrudes and the tire is tuck all the way into the fender

Got the motor in and the wheels finally, going to start lowering it next week http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/7F4F2E11-7995-4C0A-A2AE-74EDA4C4B41C_zpse6on5xx1.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/1707B769-FE62-47E6-A194-7B7DEB8ACE7F_zpsnn5vnvqu.jpg http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/015B25C3-159B-42C6-BDDD-5A90E821DD3F_zpseoapsbfg.jpg

Sometimes the fans spin but they don't have enough torque to really move the amount of air needed to cool the radiator. Check to see if the fans are spinning hard first. They should be moving the air very briskly, like 60 mph wind, otherwise they aren't really cooling anything. Low torque fans can be anything from poor grounds, to a tired alternator, to tired fans. All three of those things are easy to check. As far as your radiator, it probably needs to be rodded but if you still have cooling issues after that it's going to be electrical

Crooked odometer numbers scream of a rollback... I don't believe the mileage

if you get the hood to me BOHO we can work something out thank you sir I'm getting custom headlights to fit in that area under where the headlights go and I've been looking at those off road led light bars to fill the rest of the grill. I've been doing a whole lot of night time desert driving and the more light the better
