yah I'd let boe stroke my.... engine what were u guys thinking about... perv's

 

I might be able to do that just IM me with all the information I need.

 

And it's not ok for everyone to bag on me, if I can't do it back I think that is only fair. Otherwise it makes me look like I'm nobody.

 

YOU ARE NOBODY

BWAHAHAHAHA

(jk) pay ur dues, then talk, thats been my experience in life.

plus al wasnt baggin on u.

 

Puns are the same thing intended as jokes, I am going to pay my dues tomorrow. I'm going to get a compression and diagnostic test, so then I may not have to make a trip to Iowa. Saves me time and expense. Then it's turbo time!

 

"I aint Fat Joe but I can make 'em LEAN BACK...."

Relax man, take a chill pill. All newbie's get sh1tted on from time to time, this was your time. Welcome to EvoM!!

Oh yea.....SEARCH!

 

Come to find out the only problem with my car was a fried spark plug!!!!! Now it's "TURBO TIME".

 

all of this over a spark plug?

 

Yeah, that's what I say. I'm switching to iridiums.

 

which cyl?

 

Didn't get to ask, the shop was closed by the time I got there. They said they had to use some like telescoping thing to see the problem. they said it was fried and put a new one in. It only cost me $95 with the compression and diagnostic test, including the new spark plug. The person who sold me the car, really didn't think I was actually going to modify my car the look on his face was great lol.

 

glad to hear it was just a spark plug, I just changed mine recently too (but mine wasn't misfiring )

good luck with the turbo, if you haev RRM take care of it you will not be disappointed i'm sure

 

I know this has been beaten to death but does your friend know anything about cars that he hasn't read/watched on tv? Anyone who has worked on them before knows that nitrous, not NAWZ or NOS will show you the shortcomings of your engine. One problem you could have had - you ran your car with a DRY shot...not a wet one. Your computer couldn't compensate and send extra fuel to your intake manifold; therefore, you ran lean and that is why you heard knocking, it was pre-ignition. Good thing it was only a spark plug, check the heat ranges of them next time.

Anyway...simple idea - if you don't know enough about what you or your friend is putting on your car, regardless of what the part manufacturer says - don't do it. Leave it to trained techs to install what needs to be done.

And, that turbo kit, unless you know how to fuel map, I also wouldn't recommend installing it.

I'd say Hawaii is nice...partially because I have never been there and you have around 1,000 people in your home town. Smaller towns have less interference with cops. I come from a town of 40,000 and it is hard to get away with anything (I don't try, no sense in doing illegal crap).

I have read through this WHOLE thread. I recommend two things: One, stop tricking out your damn car at 19 and pay it off. I work for BMW/MINI, you really think I want to drive a Lancer ES? I drive it because it gets me to and from work with a good sound system to make the ride enjoyable. When I start making more money (just graduated and am working full-time) I will buy a car I really want. Two, don't do things to your car that you think will make it fast unless you do your research. People will take you for a ride. I HATE the Fast and the Furious movies for one simple reason: they made stupid ricer-wannabes want to go to my school (Universal Technical Institute) and they realized after 3 classes that there is more than bolt-ons to properly diagnose and fix a car. I don't mean to bash you or make you feel stupid, but I am telling you from experience and from reading your posts on here, you want to be more educated with your decisions.

I hope you learned from all this.

 

gotta agree with utiheadbanger, you dont go from doing a weapon R intake and a redline chip (both of which id prob never suggest) to doing a dry shot of nitrous without hitting some issues. And i dont know if anyone will get this referance but "Buttons are not toys" meaning if your friend trys to push it again . . SMACK HIM!

 

I've never even heard of a redline chip, sounds like one of those ebay resistors.
