    Transmission shove

    You could try more adjustment, dumb question...is your clutch fork bent? Or does the slave cylinder need bleeding?

    Transmission shove

    I have a Competition stage 3 (non-paddle), but I don't recall feeling anything like that. I didn't do any adjustments on install either. I haven't run paddle before, is it pulsating on downshifts? Or steady drag?

    GTi-R hp build

    Well, I've emailed NGK and have confirmed that the BCR8ES is indeed not available for sale in Canada. Looks like I'll be ordering off Amazon US. As for the water-meth system, I'm very much considering it as mine is a weekend/track car, and the power gains are undeniable. Before going down that...

    What have you done with your pulsar today?

    Picked up the beast from the tuner yesterday, and drove it back 5hrs to home today. Setup is almost strictly track. Like driving a go-cart on the highway, hammers every bump, loud as a banshee, should have wore earplugs on the drive. A pure and utter assault on the senses. An un-tamed animal to...

    GTi-R hp build

    I knew that BCR8ES was the plug of choice with our cars, and had hoped to run them as well. However, I did some substantial searching for them (local auto parts stores, online Canadian parts retailers, Amazon, etc...) before picking up the plugs I have. I don't know if they are just not...

    GTi-R hp build

    Hmm, I did a pile of searching, and most of what I found people recommending is the NGK BCR8ES w/ a .7mm gap, but I couldn't find them anywhere except ebay for a crazy price. So I figured I pulled 6s out (previous owner) and forums were saying 8, so I'd split the difference... If you're certain...

    GTi-R hp build

    Hey PobodY, I'm using NGK4644 BKR7E. Copper core, gapped to .8mm. Unfortunately I wasn't there for the dyno tune/run, I live approx. 5hrs away. The plugs I pulled were a 6 heat range, but I thought it would run too cool, so I upped it to 7.

    GTi-R hp build

    I'm definitely jealous of your fuel quality over there, would certainly help my situation here. As for the ECU, it's a full standalone that, to my understanding, is fully programmed by the tuner retaining none of the original system. Not sure if it came w/ a base map or was built from scratch...

    GTi-R hp build

    I'm posting this up here as well in case some of you are not members over at gtirmotorsport club... Hello all, So I need to throw a question out there. I just completed a build on my '91 GTi-R, and just heard from the tuner. My power numbers are drastically different from the results of...

    Fuel Injector Upgrade

    Hello all, Technical question here. I'm upgrading the injectors to Injector Dynamics 1050. These are a different pigtail - USCAR. They came with the pins and pigtails to hardwire in, but I would like to make a plug-and-play solution that is easily reversable (i.e. not cut into the wiring...

    What have you done with your pulsar today?

    Didn't find the downpipe too bad to fit. The rear part over the subframe and resonator was a brute though. Fitted a 255lph Walbro and wired up new dual Proform 10" super thin pusher fans to replace the stocks that no longer fit on account of the new turbo.

    What have you done with your pulsar today?

    Yeah, definitely a nice piece. Shipping to Canada was a killer though

    what turbo?

    According to the Garrett website, The GT2871R is apparently rated for 280-475hp The GT3071R is rated for 280-480hp And from the ATP Turbo website, the GTX2871R is flow rated up to 560hp potential flow. The hp rating and ease of fitment compared to the 3071 are why I went the route I did...

    GT2871r on to std manifold

    Hey Ally, So here's the list I came up with... GT2871R Fitting Tips: -Manifold Spacer...I didn't feel like going through the trouble of making it, so I just bought an SR20 Vibrant flange. It comes rough (i.e. warped a little), so I brought mine to a machine shop to be resurfaced. If I...
