Its actually on both. He checked it with the timing light to confirm what the ecmlink was saying and it was definitely doing the same thing. Hes going to pull the front off and make sure everything is as It should be. If anything looks sus it will be replaced or adjusted.

Hmmm could be onto something. The belt seems to flap about a bit too much when reved up and down. Tuner suspects whoever rebuilt the motor did not change the tensioner or may have stuffed it by compressing it too quickly. Could be the reason for the timing fluctuating up to 10degrees. Fingers...

Hey Baz. I know its real hard to see in the pics on page one. But I really think the exhaust cam is a tooth clockwise. The two meeting points do meet up in the centre but at no point do the dowel pins both go square to the top. I showed this to a few people and they could all see what I was...

No wouldn't have a clue. Im gona track down the guy who built it n hopefully find out.

All we did was install a profec b boost controller and the ecm chip. Straight away the car hardly idled and died all the time. Even with settings worked out to what they should be. (with meek chip it would idle @1500rpm) So throttle body was checked and some wax thing was stuffed? It was...

Im not sure about that. I will ask when I pick the car up. Actually I think when ebc was disabled the car ran at 14psi off the wastegate. When I picked the car up from tuners last time in its dull tune it was on 14psi then. So maybe yeah it isn't knocking while at wastegate pressure?

Im in Seaford. I think I will have the car back this week in its dulled down safe mode. I was thinking of taking it to mitsi n see if any fault codes are present? Any thoughts on that? The tuner only turned the knock sensor off to use the knock ears n see if it is real or phantom and how far it...

Im in vic. I will prob pick my car up this week. Will have a look then. The car is factory aus spec but does have a replcement rebuild motor, has aus spec inlet manifold but maybe jap spec motor? The tuner did notice today that the wire to the cas was cut and rejoined after the plug. Hes gona...

It was removed n checked. All appeared ok. But its gona be replaced just to make sure. Also from a bit of reading, Im gona check whether it has late model knock sensor installed because they are ment to be really sensative compared to the original vr4 one. in which case the car would think its...

Just a quick note. If you have seen a similar problem before and know for example it is the knock sensor.....then even though its been mentioned that it was checked already, By all means say you think its the problem still! No wrong answers here :D Cheers, Carl

Hi guys, Sorry not been on the forum for a while. Thanks for everyones input. The car has now been pressure tested and had a very minute leaks that was repaired. No leaks now. Timing is fine Plugs were stuffed and replaced (Slight improvement) Leads were magnicore and replaced for oems as the...

Thanks for your input guys. I have performed all checks i can think of. The timing is perfect, no boost leaks, holds 16psi perfect with no spike or drop. Everything is in order. I agree with the last post. Its got to be the ecmlink. Gona have another go and add more timing. We think what the...

Ok Timing belt cover is off. I had a look at the marks on the inlet and exhaust pulleys. At no point will they all line up horizontally. If i put a ruler up against them one is always up or down a notch. Does this confirm that one is out a tooth? It looks to me when the inlet pulley is squared...

I hope so coz thats an easy fix! lol

Thanks for your input. I have disconnected the ebc today from turbo and inlet manifold. I also changed and clamped everyhose in the bay and also sprayed soapy water to see if any leaks were present. everything seems perfect. In regards to the balance shafts the car runs very smooth and has a...

Yes all checked and perfect. Head is factory vr4. None of the internals were adjusted or touched while getting tuned. It boosted fine before with internals how they are now so could prob eliminate that for now.

I fully get what you mean. Just to clarify though. The engine was not built there. The build of the motor is solid but whoever did it was a bit sloppy in some other areas. The car is now in perfect condtion mechanically- bar the boost issue. so i dont want to take any cred away from him. He...

I agree. First of all I had to pull out purely due to my poor budget lol. He really wanted to press on and solve the problem. I just dont want people to get a bad impression of this workshop. I will say they have alot of 4g63's above 200kw@wheels and some above 300 to their name so thay are good...

Id rather not say at this stage. He has done alot of 4g63's and is very well known. He definitley has a few ideas on what to do next. I had to pull the pin at this stage as it was getting alot more pricey than i wanted at this stage. He did say he could get 15-16 degrees out of it but it was...
