Hay bro I really appreciate your videos I have the 97 eagle talon esi and I have turbo it , I just upgraded the cam to briancrower stage two and was setting up the timing mark one have it incorrectly installed the exhaust side . I had it up straight just like the intake. After watching one of your videos I noticed that you have the exhaust pointing down . So I have done some damage but you save me . Now after you set up the base timing how do you adjust the intake and exhaust cam gears .
@CarModsGarage
@CarModsGarage 3 жыл бұрын
My cam was either oem or low love so it didn't mess with my tune. You need to read the spec of the cam I guess. Maybe see some degrees off so it doesn't git there. Can't quite say. Maybe if the cam is too agressive I would thing that normal timing would git the piston.

I have a couple questions for you. 1. Do you have a built motor and what timing belt are you using? I'm worried for you on the manually adjusted timing belt tensioner. Those tend put a lot of strain on cams, 1st bearing and last bearing causing cam bearing caps to loosen. They are also crazy strenuous on the belts. So are you running a kevlar or metal strand belt to prevent the hard stretch? When your belt warms after hard pulls how are you overcoming the possibility of slight timing retard/advance due to the belt not being as tight? Have you thought about a really good hydraulic tensioner like an IAG or Hybrid Racing tensioner? You'd save a LOT of stress in the future. 2. Voltage Regulator - It doesn't make sense that you had to add an aftermarket regulator. Was it possible that the one on the alternator died thus needing a new regulator? There is the double plug on the back of the alternator. One wire runs to ignition to tell the stator to turn on and the other feeds what the voltage is to the regulator in order to self manage. Am I confusing everything and you needed an aftermarket regulator to further limit the voltage swings? I ask all these because, Im building a '98 2GNT. I have the motor and trans out and Im fully building it and the head. I don't want to have to do timing work after putting the engine back in. LOL Saves me some stress.

Ok so for the timing belt I used this one below which is Evergreen. I don't believe they have Kevlar or anything like that amzn.to/3sFcyz9 - 420a Racing Blue Timing Belt and Pump Tensioner Kit The alternator on the 420a does not have voltage regulator. It is inside the ECU so when it goes out people need either to replace the ECU, fix the ECU or add an external voltage regulator. I don't think you are wrong on the mechanical tensioner but there is a lot of people racing out there using the mechanical and they are fine. I don't think that it makes this much power to worry about that. (My Opinion) Those are valid questions. I didn't listen to people when I was building my car so I didn't replace the tensioner. Didn't delete the serpentine belt tensioner either and got problem on both. What I can tell you for sure is that it is working for me. I hope your build goes well brother. Hit me up with questions and I will be glad to answer!

Hi, I have the same build going on. But I have a question about the oil catch can. My catch can seems to fill up very fast. within a day or two of driving. How often do you have to empty your can out? My setup is a little different with one inlet, one outlet, and a breather on the top 90degree elbow.

I want to make 250 hp not crazy numbers , I can just buy an new stock clutch ? Help me also my car is turbo already everything is done just need to finish some stuff before tunning
@CarModsGarage
@CarModsGarage 3 жыл бұрын
To see if it is forged or not you need to open the engine and see or if you have a camera scope you can take the spark plugs and see if you can identify the pistons. The rods unfortunately you need to take the bottom part to see. Is it a 420a or 4g63? I've know people pushing 8 to 10 lbs on stock engine so I guess if you don't beat on it too hard you should be able to do that.

My take on it is that if you boost it and do the right things that I explain on this video it should be alright. On the other hand if you have the chance to get a gsx or an eclipse with a 4g63 than do it. The engine is solid, so far it did not overheat. Only thing is the setup of the pulleys, belts and tensioners.
