burnt up an exhaust valve so instead of buying a new OEM, I tore all the OEM s*** out of the head and put Supertech everything in lol Dual springs, 1mm Oversize valves, Ti retainers, bronze valve guides...the whole deal. Im tuning for it, so it wont lean out when I turn up the boost lol right now the AFR's are at 12-13 so i need to try and get them down a little more. btw...this 10psi isnt on a stock turbo in case u didnt know
Try some throttle modulation. I have a KLDE swap without an LSD and I don't have problems "hooking up" in my lightweight car. The throttle pedal isn't an ON/OFF switch.
Precisely proving my point they are for looks. (I've got CF mirror covers so it's okay.)

Kl with no lsd and you hook up?? Lmao right id love to see your time slip... either your not puttin down hardly any power with your set up or your full of crap.. on low boost and stock ecu with oped diff the car went no where from a dig.. and you have a kl with open diff and you have no problem hookin up? Right.. the more you talk about your all about performance the more it seems you really don't know bout your own car... I don't see how you have a good hook up.. when others with a kl swap with lsd actually got slower lol... nough said sir.. if your ever in my area please please call me out haha

Last saturday:
Did my timing belt and some other work. 121k and i gotta say by the looks of it it probably would have went for another 20 - 30k maybe even more. but I was worried so i changed it. The water pump on the other hand was starting to rust and that rust was showing in the coolant so i guess it was a good idea to change it.
Actual repair facts LOL:

upper and lower radiator hose Gates USA (associated auto parts $19.99)
thermostat Duralast Israel (autozone $10.99)
valve cover gasket Fel-Pro USA (advance auto parts $38.99)
both belts on left side of engine (had these as spare when previous attempt to adjust tension failed)
total $: $261.93
total $ + 7% NJ tax: $280.27
work time: 7:30am - 1:30Pm = 6 hours

Why do you keep even bothering?? You contradict everything you say
. Ohhh I don't race my car but I took out interior.. I took out interior to make me faster... I'm all about performance.. I drive a kl with no lsd n I hook up great. Get my point. I love corners nd my favorite is mountain drivin and trust me I keep up with awd cars in the curves and corners alll day...
That is all good day to you sir lol

I dont understand whats going on here, this isnt the thread to argue opinion. Theres a place for that, like the slammed thread, or the stance thread

Draaaaammmaaaaaaaa! Just to fan the flames, I agree with Lewis. You can "hook-up" fine without an LSD. Punching it off the line isn't the way to go, brah. Anyhow.... hug it out, bitches.
here you go!

I removed my stuff, like I said, just to see. I have my moods when I will rip stuff apart, but the a week later, I may just put it all back. I like tinkering. This is how you learn....
