It's been awhile, thought I'd revisit this one. Hewdgasket took a crap in march, just got done buttoning it all back up. Added a few things since i was going to be in there. Ported M90, HvTB, 1.9s and LS6 springs, ported front manifold. The coolant in the exhaust took out some of the welds, so next ...

How old is the gas? After the headgasket swap, it ran like crap. Wouldn't start, would start but stall, hard starting, sputtering, smoke puffs of smoke, ses light.... It was bad i thought i *fook* up the install. I added some mods while I was in there too. But it turned out to be crossed wires, a ...

I just had one go oddly enough. It happens. Mine only has 120kish.

Get rid of the coolant. Run distilled water and 2 bottles of water wetter. If you can find one, get a 160 tstat drill it and get a tune for early fan turn on. Kill the heat, the kill the KR.

Haha!

My cousins used to love those cars, 1st gens anyway. I remember the crank walk jokes and pics too.

Did a child run out of the house and take the photo?

So my car is in the shop this week so I'm renting a car. Hertz lent me a 2017 Passat. 1.8 turbo. So here's a very basic review.

Pros: Size. Smaller than an Hbody.

Cons: half range tilt, weird driving posture. Seats lack support. Skinny tires make the car wander the car on the highway: Kids/women ...

Intense

If he has any knock I'll be shocked.

Have you tried scanning to see if you can, or did you just listen to everyone else that said you couldn't? Magic gas? No that's E85. And still no full discolsure about the chunked piston.....

Kersh, get your car set up. Do a FULL tune up and buy a modular pulley system (3.4 and 3.25) and a scanner ...

Hahaha /\ /\/\ Personal experience? Dont leave any details out. Too much timing does that waaaaaay more often than too small a pulley . And I know commanding extra timing is the fad right now with tall pullies.

And Fyi....i have zero KR, stock tune and on pump 91 with a 3.25. How? Fluke? All 3 of ...

Three two five. 3.4 is for women.

No jest.

I'm curious, are you doing all that exhaust just to run a smaller pulley or are you doing it for because you hope it will sound better, or is it to compensate for a small signature?

You could run a 3.0 or 3.25 with all that flow.

Sorry for the delay Bcb, here you go.

You do NOT need Springs to run 1.9s.

Good Nuff.

I don't drive an LS. I just been following threads on the 3800 forums where people just mix the gasoline and find a good combo. I've found it with 89 octane. I have green giants 42s coming my way and I'll be monitoring full "E85" through torque. I've had no problems so far.

I have read in AZ full ...

What pulley, and you have a mp112 hybrid, any pics?

Being na did you notice a power difference?
