Thread: HELP! Problems after install

That thermostat is WAY to cold.

Put the stock one back in.

Re-gap all your plugs back to .055-.060.

.070 is HUGE and wont work.

Any check engine lights other than misfires?

Make sure your headers dont have any leaks, especially near the O2 sensor. and yes close the gap back down.

No?

Where ever you got that info, its all wrong.

Stock thermostat or 180 is all you need.

Now do what I said with the plugs.

Also running iridums is not the best choice at your mod level.

AP 104's would better suit the motor.

Isnt 3.3 pulley kinda small for just headers and tune?

No reason for such a cold tstat, most peole never run colder than 180, and most of the time that's not even needed.

and x3 on the gigantic gap

Iridums suck IMO, I hated em, run 104's or 103's they work better in our models, 180 t stat is fine you don't need a 160 for your mod level.

Zzp isn't a good place for up to date info

Oh yeah and that gap is CRAZY!!!

i agree, the boosted motors dont like iridums, copper is the way to go. 104s are good, 103s are still too cold for that setup.

heres the firing order, we are type II and 6 3 is the top coil pack.

Irids aren't horrible... They simply aren't ideal for what you are doing.

Wow those Iridium's cost that much .... OUCH! Did you get a 180 thermostat or put your stock one back in. Also the 3.3 is way small for your mods. I bet you have KR out the wazoo!

Or just keep your stock one until you have a way to scan?

Getting pulley envy is just going to lead to a new motor like everyone else.
