Azgalant's evo head build and 5-speed

**qnz** · 02-18-2011, 07:15 PM

you should buy the evo knock sensor. theyre about $80. You wire it up by running the line straight to the Ecu.

if your rev limiter is at 0, that means you are bouncing off the limiter at idle?

Yea that what I thought just wanted to clarify so thanks............just need to find where to put the knock sensor

About the rev...... the limiter was at 7200 so the person that tuned it put it down to 6200. The car is drivable i just have to go by the sound of the car so I know when to shift........I would rather see it in my gauge but what it does is that when I gas it the rev meter goes down to zero but when i let out the gauge works so its like working backwards lol ANY IDEAS?

were you 5 speed at MOD? I can't remember

Lol yea i had it but with the long trip my car was dirty and so i just had my car closed that's why

oh, a backwards rev limiter. i dont know what to say about that?

there are 2 spots on the back of the block that you can screw in the knock sensor. One is toward the middle of the block. the other is closer to the passenger side of the block. I would first chase the holes with a bolt of the same pitch + thread to clean out any debris in there. The knock sensor is made of some soft metal (aluminum?) and i had the misfortune of messing up the thread on it because there was some debris/rust in the hole

**azgalant** · 02-19-2011, 11:44 AM

I was wondering what ever happened to your car since you never updated if u completed the swap, good to know you did. You should post some pics.

Yea its completed its actually been done since like last july. Also, I had to pass emissions so it was parked for awhile, so as soon as it passed I took it to get tuned and that's when I found out I needed a knock sensor.

Well I just wanted to update on the progress of my car.........I put a new knock sensor in and wired it straight to the ecu. The code came off for the knock sensor so i am guessing that it worked. There are other codes but i'll deal with them later lol.

There you can see where I drilled the whole for the wire

This shows where I messed up and cut the wrong wire......was reading the ecu diagram backwards. Also shows where I had to solder the pin to the wire because I broke with my finger. I guess I bent too much.

Almost have all my turbo parts ready so far I have my turbo piping intercooler etc.
Here's some pictures to start off with.

**mko** · 03-17-2011, 12:39 AM

very nice. keep it up

**azgalant** · 03-17-2011, 12:41 AM

Thanks hopefully by the end of the month I can install all of it.........but i am debating if I should dyno it before I put turbo just to see how much hp I have now lol

**mko** · 03-17-2011, 12:48 AM

you can always run it w/o the IC piping. Just put the MAS on there

**azgalant** · 03-17-2011, 12:54 AM

True lol but i'll see I just can't wait to put it on lol

**beam514** · 03-17-2011, 01:54 AM

nice! can't wait to see how this turns out

**Galantfan88** · 03-17-2011, 10:20 AM

Ahaaaaa the beauty of a Precision Turbo
Had one myself but seals where done on it and had to be rebuilt and not only that but I think it was maybe alil to big and I would of had alot of turbo lag there so got my self a nice Turbonetics Turbo but Im loving what you got there man, keep up the good work.
