Thread: up to 7.8* KR!!!

if you just reset your battery, no its not gonna change anything then. they will probably lock in the same.

your issue is not going to get resolved with out a better tune, someone in the car tuning it.


i have a few chunks taken out of my supercharger where i have grounded it with the alt. makes some cool sparks...

that seems to be my only real option lol.

ok, im putting a shopping list together, i think i have everything, but if anyone knows of something i need, let me know please.
i will be changing the blower and the t/b so i figured i might as well do the LIM and rockers at the same time, since everything will be off.
so far i have:

LIM
UIM/SUPERCHAGER GASKET
2 COOLANT ORINGS
T/B GASKET
2 VALVE COVER GASKETS
12 injector orings
2 coolant elbows
will have to do oil change, flush the old coolant out with old oil too.
GREEN antifreeze
New coolant resevior(if i can find it)
Supercharger oil


quick question, my radiator might be pretty bad, rather, it is bad, last time i had it flushed they did it 5 times and it still came out filthy, so would it be wiser just to replace that anyway, its only 200 or so right? and it cant be to hard.

also im probably gonna be doin the p/s pump at the same time. and the pressure hose, so i will need packings for that.
i think thats all i will need, anybody know of any special tools needed, if any?

Nope...a 10mm and a deep well 13mm to get the PS pump off through the holes in it. Maybe a line wrench for the PS lines and really deep 15mm for the nut on the coil pack bracket...but that's all I can honestly think of. You'll need RTV for the LIM gaskets and IMO, I'd get some reuseable Comp rocker bolts...cheap and effective. I also locktite my rocker bolts just to be sure they never pop loose like I have seen some of them do. Good luck...do you have higher ratio rockers going in it, or just stock? As for the coolant elbows...you'll know what they are once you pull off the LIM...you can buy them in the HELP section at Oriellys or any other auto parts store most likely.

ok cool. they will be higher ration, probably the modified zzp ones. 1.9

If you got the money, IMO I'd put stronger springs in it...preferrably Crow 105's. Then get the Yella Terra 1.95's. If your gonna do rockers might as well go all out, get the highest ratio, re-tune it...and rev the crap outta it.

i have heard about people replacing the coolant elbows too. what are they reffering to?

injector orings 12
coolant elbows (they will break)
cheapp oil to flush down coolant spilled into lifter valley
complete oil change
filter

these are also needed might have them up there already but i didnt feel like reading it

Also for the coil bracket thats hard to get with a socket use a spakplug socket 5/8's i think that has the hex shape on the back and another socket to turn it
just incase you dont have a super deep well socket

oh man i just changed my oil!!!! not even 1000 miles yet. i still have some of my old oil in a bottle, i could just use that to flush it. yeah, i didnt think about the orings. list updated. has anyone got these gaskets from oriellys in aluminum or do u have to go to the dealer for that?

i know its wiser/better to do it the best, but money is an issue.... just bought wheels too.

105's springs retainers and reusable rocker bolts.

^^Noobsauce it says reusable rocker bolts

Plus, as long as he isn't shifting over 6K he'll be fine and won't get valve float...granted...stronger springs are better for it.
