i got my trims real close to 0 around -1 or -2.... spent another $20 for a few hours tuning like i have done so many times already. pulled of the highway and bam all the way to +3 mid and it would of kept going if there wasnt a light. yay another waste of time as usual getting nowhere

 

Hang in there man we have all been there. I cant tell you how many hundreds (or more) of dollars I spent on gas. Was really pissing me off too. You do know that even the best tuners consider trims +/- 5 to be spot on right? This is the reason for this because getting them exact or even to +/- 1 or 2 is almost impossible unless every aspect of your tune is perfect. Just saying dont know why your trying to get them exact.

 

im not i want +-5 or even 10 but it seems as tho at somepoint it always go past that ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

started my car this morning and noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust... also my coolant was a little lower then normal and there was dripping out the end of the exhaust pipe...

i suspect the head gasket is blown... any ways to tell for sure?? is it hard to replace?

could it be something else. the smoke is very white

 

check your oil and see if its milky

 

Damn that sucks. I blew a intake gasket on my 94 camaro once. I looked in my review view mirror and couldn't see the car behind me LMAO

 

oh oh!!!! might as well change the timing belt while you are at it.

 

I watched this dude, he's hilarious

If its ONLY blown through the coolant passages then you can start your car WHEN COLD!!! and pull the rad cap off, you will see bubbles emerge as the cylinder pressure is being pumped into the coolant stream. Def as sawlukin said check oil mor milkyness. Either way I would park it but Esp if oil is milky. Def sounds like blown coolant passage at least.

 

nice vid haha crack head!

well i think its fine it must of been just a cold morning cuz its not having any white smoke and coolant hasnt dropped anymore.

also im not building any more boost when i turn the controller up. so any ideas?

 

yeah coolant level is fine it was just a cold morning or something. im still not getting past 6psi but my mbc is cheap so whatever lol.

also im pretty sure its my clutch that is slipping but usually it holds good all the way thru first and second but when i start increasing rpms in 3rd it starts climbing rpms real quick and im pretty sure thats the clutch...? correct?

 

you can test it for slipping by driving about 55 to 60 and put it in 3rd and see if it slips.

 

what do you mean put it in 3rd? put it in 3rd and step on it or what

 

yes he means put it in 3rd n step on it from alow rpm. u will be putting a huge load on the clutch when its not at the right power ban.. if ur clutch is going bad it will slip and will be almost like a neutral rev up maybe 2000 rpm or so, or all the way to redline depending on how bad the clutch is.

 

yeah its most definitely slipping. also i cant get past 6 psi no matter how i adjust the mbc which is weird everything was fine a few weeks ago.
