RE: My build thread - hardk0re - 08-26-2011
can u not just put some jb weld on the crack to get you by for now? I mean to drive around while yours is on order so you don't leave too many oil puddles
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-26-2011
can i use jb weld and works for sure?
does it have to be done inside or can i apply it outside?
pff..heard home hardware sells it too, so i m gonna take a walk there and see. if not, i m stuck..grrrr
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 08-26-2011
Oh yea jb weld would work... Just make sure the surface is clean Leo.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-26-2011
nice, i m gonna go buy one, around 30 mins to take a walk there and another 30 mins, yay i am gonna lose weight! lol
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-26-2011
jb welded in. hope this get my car rolling at least another month until i get a new oil pan.
will see tmrw, hope i can do programming and datalogging, or i will have problem with moving to new place..
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 08-26-2011
Right on Leo... Hopefully it works out... You checked it recently to see how it's hardening up?
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-26-2011
no..by the time i applied, it was 7pm and was getting dark.
but i brought in left over and it is not hardend yet but it is like thick thick caramel.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-27-2011
woohoo~jb weld worked for now, i m going to order oil pan just in case.
and datalog is done and now waiting randy to get back to me with permission to do wot datalog.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-27-2011
randy from fswerks told me idle datalog has problem.
i was datalogging for 4 mins and it only recorded 2 seconds.
so without whole 4 mins idling, he was asking me this 2.
1.new o2 sensor from dealer?
2.different air intake filter?
i told him o2 sensor is not from dealership but ngk/ntk o2 sensor which dealership told me it is exact oe.
air intake filter is itg from the kit.
but aside from idling datalog, he said other looks okay.
so i guess there was not enough time to show him idling datalog.
and i forgot to assign sct to read analog 1 as aem wideband, it only showed voltage.
well..he sent me modified tune file again and he is now off from work..i gotta wait until monday but i am okay to drive around easy, not go into boooooost.
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 08-27-2011
Damn eh Leo.... That's sweet though that you can actualy get from a-b in a turbid focus
btw, that one "special" package you were picking up from Ken a month or so ago. Was that a water meth injection kit?
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-27-2011
no special package was this. turbo.
and i got another package from the states and they are shiny.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-27-2011
after 5months of waiting, got these finally but still missing balljoints, bushing brackets and rear toe arms.

RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-27-2011

They??? Hmmmm... What, What??

yeah it is from dom and he surely makes beautiful pieces but unless i know him in person, i wouldnt do business with him...
i hope rest of pieces he forgot to ship together will be here soon.

those pieces are already clear powder coated.
but if i change my mind to white color, i will let you know.
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 08-27-2011
I don't know where else those quality of parts are available other than from dom... Just curious but what'd all that set u back?

5 months of waiting and to get 1 single response from him took 3 weeks.
and he strongly recommended to get ball joints, bushing brackets and bushing and let himself to put those parts before shipping.
so i paid for it but he didnt do what i asked for..
i now missing rear toe arms and those mentioned pieces.
and what made me to wait 5 months? he sold my parts to local or ppl from the states, i know it because i saw about it from other forums.
those pieces will be shipped out again, not sure when..it could b month or 2, i gave him my new address anyway.
he for sure makes quality parts but lack of communication and handling his business let me down big time.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-31-2011
what is sooooooo hard about tuning my car?
i never had problem with my car, no running problem before putting turbo, everything is stock except exhaust and randy is giving me tooo much headache saying, am i running different air intake filter, am i running aftermarket throttle body? and i never drove in boost and telling me i was boosting..my gt 2871r go on boost above 3750rpm, i shift every single gears before 2500rpm, i even cruising around with 5th gear. and i have boost/afr gauge right beside, i kept eye on it and boost guage sits at -20psi and i never go above -10psi which is just vacuum, not boooooooost.
i am not saying randy ios doing bad job, he is good at what he is doing , i had old sct chip on kona and was good but omg this time, it is not fun at all..
