Im talking after the engine is running. One long pulse not several smaller ones like normal.

My GPs have been doing something unusual the last couple days. Previously, when I would start the girl up the GP light would come on about 3 or 4 times for 3 seconds each. That's what I know as 'normal'. The last couple days after I start it, the light stays lit for 6-8 seconds, just one...

Good advice on the tack weld. Didn't think about it, but I'd be wicked pissed to find it missing some day! Very happy with how it came out. No drone at any RPM, a little rumbly, but not loud. As the muffler breaks in it may get louder and I might look for something quieter, but it's alright...

I did not have time for the new turbo cartridge or the injectors, so that'll have to wait. Honestly I was expecting more from the tune. I was excited to try it, but quite dissapointed when I did. I called Heath today and we talked about it. I will most likely be sending my ECM back to WA for...

Here's the factory pipe for a comparison. It took all day and then some to install the exhaust, for several reasons. First I HAD to take the OEM stuff apart and save it... Then I added the welding, using new equipment that required some playing/practice to get comfortable. And my first time...

This is why I wanted stainless. Header wrap! Did the crossover and down pipe. Had a little left over so I did a crappy job on the turbo too! Don't know if it's worth the time/money but it's on there now! Here's the resonator installed. I was afraid it would be too loud. Glad I spent...

Well, here's a little update for anyone who's watching. I went home this weekend to find quite a large collection of boxes. When I say 'large collection', I mean "filled the bed of my long-box pickup" large! I should have got a pic, but I was too excited! Included was a Diamond Eye exhaust...

Please post back here after you talk to him. If I don't see something from you soon, I'll have to call myself!...might anyway...

Nice fix! That's what I did to mine on the cooler side. When the block side started leaking I just plugged the ports until I could afford an aftermarket solution... And now I have an engine build thread going!

Buff/polish is the cheaper way to go. But if you want new or you just don't have the time, I recommend OEM (Sylvania) or TYC. The TYC are china made lights, but they are really the only aftermarket ones I'd use. The price of OEM lights have come down quite a bit recently, though, so I...

Good idea, I will try that tomorrow. I'm like a little birdy, cheep cheep cheap! So I figured I didn't want to pay regular salvage yard rates, but at the U Pull... Maybe you don't have those up there? Self service salvage yards where parts are all bargain priced? Like any engine for $250...

Nice work, Vail. I guess you know who I called...

Long story short, I need some VW injectors from Canada. Over in the Performance section we're talking about dual stage injectors and I'd like to get my hands on one...or maybe 8! Just to play around with. The Canadian VWs from 92-97(I believe) came with them. They were used in cars with...

Sorry I can't help with those part numers, but here's a little 'lifter trivia'! I was on the phone with a parts supplier several years ago ordering a single lifter because I found one that was damaged during an overhaul. The guy on the other end told me that the 6.9/7.3 International...

My research on the interwebs has suggested that some fuel is allowed to leak through the injector to lubricate and cool it. So a lower pop pressure could result in more fuel entering the cylinder and less "leakage" getting bypassed. But I would reckon that the amount leaking to the return...

But is the Holley blue pump positive displacement with no pressure relief? Granted there is likely some bleed off in the injection pump from internal leakage, but unless the pump is worn, that amount is negligable. And the difference in bleed off between 1500psi pop and 2500psi would be almost...

I'm just a dumb redneck, but to my line of thought, if you take $1 out of your right pocket and put it in the left you won't find $1.05 in there. If the pump is capable of 10,000+psi and it meters 50cc to an injector that has a pop pressure of 2200, then 50cc is what will be dispensed. If...

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here, but... The pump determines the amount of fuel injected. Fuel is NOT compressable so if the pump meters 1cc of fuel that's what gets injected. Same if it meters 100cc. The pop pressure is how high the injector line pressure must get before the...

I've found an Aquamist system for sale and wondered if anybody had experience with them. Is it worth my time and money? Or should I pass and do something else?

I live in a town of 800ppl, with one parts store. Thats why I'm looking for PNs, so I can have the Bumper to Bumper order the stuff so it's there. I've only got a couple days to put it all together. I might be able to hit Fastenal on my way back next weekend but no guarantees.
