    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    Ok, now I'm freaked out. How do I correct this? If it is the tuner computer then I'll get it ASAP, I don't want a huge bill for a blown engine that isn't my fault. Could a boost leak cause these symptoms? I haven't changed out any lines on my car and it has about 9k miles on it. Please keep...

    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    They did back off the gas on the last few runs because of the pinging, so the numbers were a little low. Looks like I'll run the 94 for a few tanks, go back and try again. If it still does it, I'll try my hand at the dealer but what can they do to fix it if they even hear it? Mike

    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    AutoBox you have PM. I'm guessing Corksport's Tuner Computer would probably smooth this problem out right? Even though it is not tunable on the fly, I was just looking for something to slap on, not be too invasive (easy to installl/uninstall) but produce safe, reliable power. Does anyone have...

    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    I can't hear anything when inside the car and driving on normal roads. I'll take the BOV off and go to the dealer soon I guess, the only thing that won't be stock is some of the clamps around the BPV. How should I explain this? At high rpm's the engine is pinging/knocking? I"m kinda hesitant...

    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    I am flashed, but I'm not sure how well the dyno vid would go over with the dealer, haha. Vid will be up soon, my server is slow today. Anyone else care to comment, I need help. Mike

    Stock dyno run with pinging, help!

    I went to dyno my MSP the other day and it is totally stock besides the Forge BOV. I am a newb so I had never heard pinging but all the techs at NGP (place I had it dynoed) said the car was pinging quite a bit, mostly over 4500 and 5k rpms. I was running 93 octane, but I admit it was from a...

    Kenwood AUX question

    It was a b**** to connect but mine works fine, also when nothing is connected to it. One thing that is wierd though is that the CD option dissappears when you have an AUX plugged in. Mike

    motor feels like it wants to jump out of car

    How much does an average install run on the mounts? My mechanical limits stop at an intake install or simple stereo work. I've also heard the rear mount is a b****. Thanks for any estimate on labor. Mike

    resetting the ecu

    Whoops. I just reset mine by disconnecting the positive terminal and only waiting about 2 minutes. Maybe that's why the damn alarm scared the hell outta me when I reconnected the terminal.(wiggle) Mike

    Will the dealer know?

    Thanks for the responses, makes me feel a little better. I am nothing but polite to the dealer, even when they had me wait 4 hours for one of their body shop guys to look at the dents in my car that I didn't put there. I hope the clunk fixes the looseness I'm feeling the the suspension and the...

    Will the dealer know?

    I have to take my car in for the clunk, rotors, and just general matinence but I had the Forge BOV on my car. I removed it today but still used the clamps that came with the kit because the stock clamps are such s***. I also had to replace the clamp on the hose on the top of the BPV, that one...

    Feeler Thread: Forge dual-piston BOV

    I am taking the BOV out this week so I can take the car into the dealer for the clunk and some other things so I'll take the valve apart and check the spring out. Yeah like you guys said, the stalling isn't really that bad at all and can be driven around. Everyone who's heard my car flips out...

    Feeler Thread: Forge dual-piston BOV

    Anyone with an MSP that wants a good alternative to heavy modification in order to get a nice sounding and performing BOV should look into this. I bought one right after hearing about it on this site and it has worked to perfection. Just to let people know, apparently I am the only person so...

    BOV's

    Recirculated means that the stock lines are run back into the BOV, the Greddy Type S and HKS SSQ valves can do this but the are not as loud. This is good though because you can have a greater chance of not stalling from a high rev to idle. I am running the Forge BOV and it is dual piston...

    the clunk

    My car has been feeling very sloppy in the handling department lately, I've always had the clunk so I just set up an appointment to get it looked at. I hope that is it, I hate having a car that feels sloppy. Mike

    Which manufacturer looks closest to HID without the cheap look?

    I have the PIAA super plasma gt-x, apparently it has a 5200k color light or something, I do know it looks pretty damn close. Has a puplish hue to it, and my friends tell me they can tell when I pull up just by the headlights, so for me that is good, plus the light output is great as well. I...

    Cancelled: Shaffer & Strominger Mazda thing

    I know you guys say Bel Air road but I bought my MSP from S & S Mazda/Dodge on what I thought was Joppa road, right before Audio Connections and the Guitar Center. Is this the same one? If not I'm still gonna try to show up to the get together. Mike

    possible white marsh get together...

    I drive a Titanium, usually dirty, so sue me:D I look kinda like this right now (stash) but my facial hair changes quite a bit. I'm about 5'8", pretty white, usually rockin a polo shirt with cingular logo on it. I usually look kinda pissed too, just because of all the wacky people I get in my...
