What have you done to your MSP today?

[Valk]

In a way your very helpful lol. I don't drive like that but I know if I do the things that you break, my msp will NEVER break lol

Drove the monkey to work today. I'm at work now. I should be working.

btw I'm a car designer.

anyway, got really pissed off because the car started clunking. I just did a ton of work to the thing. Clunking in a random sort of way. Over expansion strips, over bumps, when turning, when lugging the engine. etc.

Thought maybe CV joint, another bad swaybar link(s)? Tranny coming apart?

At lunch time I went out to parking lot and did some laps with friend listening from outside the car.

Did you tighten the lugs on the side you last worked on? Yes. Check them. NO. No apparently I did not. Drove from Ann Arbor to Dearborn with loose wheel.

I took mechanics classes at the school Perferio took driving lessons. See how that works?

Turbo went out...

well on the bright side you are running out of stuff to replace.

Motor is in and all wired, but the clutch won't bleed out. Feels like it is just pushing air. There is plenty of fluid in the res, but nothing still. WTF! Any suggestions? Neer had this problem with any of the other motor swaps I've done to either MSP.

The turbo had 185k on it and think of how many times bearing material went through it.. it's not something unexpected. I've been looking at turbos for a few months. It just sucks that i dont have the funds right now to upgrade, so going back with the gt25.

Will it freely gravity bleed?

 

[hornsfan10609]

Idk how you can say the MSP can't take it when so many of the owners race there's... They are properly put together in most cases though. It does have many weak links though. That's for sure but we all know this already. Well, most of us anyways

I have put over 70k hard miles on my car with the stock drivetrain and turbo (minus 3rd gear and LSD replacement), boosting over 10psi every day plus a couple track days mixed in. Some MSPs certainly can take it.

Although I hope I didn't jinx myself saying that.

Nope. I'm just going to get a little hand bleeder bump from Harbor Freight and see if that helps.

Me too lol. But not for long. GT28R coming up along with megasquirt. I just gotta get the stupid cali smog out of the way... smh

 

[Preferio]

You potential Megasquirt users need to get together for a GB on a PnP setup for the Protg.

Tracking info says I'll get my replacement turbo today. Have this whole weekend to myself, so either Saturday night or Sunday morning I'll throw it on.

Anyone replaced the outlet flange studs on the turbo? If so, what length?

Agreed, though in my case is too late for that. My megasquirt is all ready to go, and basically pnp since Im using the AEM ECU extension harness. The only reason is not on the car as we speak is my ever failing cali smog
