With the recent enforcement on tuned ECUs in California, my mildly modded OBXT with a VF52 and Grimmspeed EBCS mildly tuned by Tuning Alliance is going to need a smog in 2 months. I have a stock ECU that I can swap in but the question is will I be able to drive the car(without boosting) long enough(100 miles or more) to get it smog ready without blowing anything up? Thanks

Still available. Pm replied.

Have a set of 4 side feed DW740 fuel injectors freshly rebuilt by RC Engineering last week. Match Flow Report included. $450 shipped in the US

Thanks guys, I will check tomorrow and also add vaseline.

That's what I have on my stock BPV. I went ahead and installed it and it is leaking, not making a good seal on the Avo intercooler. My gasket is only a few months old, I tried different install and tightening sequences and it leaks above 10psi. I am going to try and make a gasket to use together with the stock gasket.

I purchased a used Avo intercooler and it came with no gaskets. I know I need to buy the Mr. Gasket thermostat gasket for the turbo side but can I reuse the gasket from the stock BPV? If not, which gasket do I buy? Thanks

I have a VF40 turbo with a stuck opened wastegate. Is it an easy repair or repairable? Thanks

I would be very interested to see how the Techna Fit lines work out for you installation wise. Thanks

Just looked up the hoses, I am going to need the Legacy hoses or the stock OBXT hoses? Parts diagrams showed they are different. *Edit: Nevermind, LGT hoses are too short. Any recommendations for SS brake lines source?

Thank you. Good to know about the hoses. I may need to have spares available to avoid downtime.

Thank you! Will start looking for LGT calipers

Bringing this one back.....@kzr750r1 Were the GT rotors a drop-in upgrade? I am looking for the easiest brake upgrade for towing. I used to tow one big bike(700+ lbs) on my Kendon 3 bike trailer with careful brake planning but now I am going to be towing two big bikes. Flats are no problem but inclines and declines are going to be a challenge.

Solved! It was a combination of exhaust leak and weak fuel pump due to single o-ring. AF learning and correction is now in the proper range of less than 3%. Thank you, everyone, for your help.

Googling AEM 320 came up with part #50-1000. I just want to confirm that's the correct one for the OBXT/LGT. Thanks

Just curious what is the preferred fuel pump upgrade? AEM 50-1000 or AEM 50-1215?

Found small leaks at the up pipe to manifold and downpipe to cat mid pipe. Reassembled and added copper exhaust sealant. What is the best way to test fuel pressure? Disconnect and T in from where? I only have regular hose ends on my fuel pressure gauge. Thanks

So, before everyone starts pitching Grimmspeed or anything else, please bear with me that circumstance allows me to only choose between Mishimotor or Avo. I searched but it seems there are a lot of talks about Avo and nothing much about Mishimoto intercooler. I looked at both and Mishimoto seems to be of a little better quality. Anyway, is there something else I didn't know about the Avo intercooler? Thanks

I have an AEM UEGO but I don't have another bung to install it. However, I did connect it to my OBD scanner and checked live view. It is showing AF correction of 7-8% short term and 14.8% long term after idling for a while. As far as parts removed, intake manifold, turbo intake hose and the lot are all intake related. Other than that, I replaced the spark plugs. Dropped the exhaust manifold, front joint pipe, up pipe and downpipe.

I have heatshields and the bottom cover on the car. Can't hear anything the way it is. Will have to do it tomorrow morning when it is cooler. Should I check all exhaust connection that I dropped? Like downpipe to cat? BTW, over 8psi is not good. I have oil coming out of the oil dipstick. I hope I didn't blow any seals. The fuel pump is the last thing I would check because I have a full tank of gas in it. i remembered the mess I made last year installing the DW with it 3/4 full.

No noise. Nothing at all even when spiked past 7psi. I am suspecting the "new" used catless sti up pipe gasket

Ok, running compressed air with a 6' hose away from the engine bay to about 7psi and we hear nothing. At that pressure it should be quite loud if there is an intake leak, correct?

Taking your advice I started thinking I should check intake leak again so I hooked up a boost/vacuum gauge. It is idling with 17-18" Hg. How much vacuum are you guys pulling at idle? I am thinking if it is leaking it would pull much less vacuum. Lol with the gauge upright that it. Upside down it is 16"

Lol yeah I was very surprised he blew out the plastic cap the first time. I had to really tighten the hose clamp down. I sprayed sudsy water on all the intake/manifold/turbo/intercooler areas before and didn't see any bubbling action. Would a leaky up pipe connection cause lean running?

Not my lungs but my athlete and saxophonist son's lungs He actually blew out the plastic cap the first time so I know it is a few psi worth. Plus it was an audible whooosh when he let go of his thumb seal.
