i adjusted the fuel screw and turned the idle down but its still idleing around 11-1200 when it is normally 900 how do i get the idle down lower?

turn the idle screw out more.
turn the fuel screw back out.

could play with the residual fuel screw but it's not recommended, by me anyways...

i dident really turn the fuel screw in that much 1 1/2? the idle is almost bottemd out also would i have to adjust the fuel again when i put a 1.6 boost pin in my aaz?

possibly....?
but boost pin won't effect fueling at idle, only under boost right.

540 degrees is a fair bit for the fuel screw (when adjustments are measured in 1/4 turns and sometimes 1/8th turns.... Have you driven it like that yet?
Do you have an EGT set up to watch the temp's rise?

I have that gauge and im very happy with it for the price. bright LED lights. warning light and so on. Nice gauge for under 50$.

(just have to cope with it saying "typeR" sigh

) oh well

wow! thanks!! thats dirt cheap!

Clintwalker85 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:35:39 am »

where does it ship from?

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #8 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:37:43 am »

:wink:

look for other stuff you may want on there. If you get enough items he pays shipping i believe. Don't get a HG though. He gets cheap prices for Chinese parts so no genuine German stuff i don't think...

I like the site, it kept my little turbo deeze alive. Lots of people don't like it because it's so cheap but you get what you pay for. Sounds like your build is like mine :roll: in the "total car cost + build cost under 1k" category hahaha

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:38:16 am »

south Carolina i think.
I had a dismal time receiving the wrong parts and not getting what i ordered so be weary of that. Don't depend your build on it. The customer service is pretty shabby as well. (made it really bad because it took two weeks 1 way with shipping with where i live)

This is my favorite site, Canadian too.
http://www.importcarpartscanada.ca/

was referred to it from someone on this forum. really glad i did. I got rod bearings, door handles and some other stuff. really really fast shipping. They use couriers.
shipping can bite you in the ass sometimes though so be careful.

exactly cheap is good but i don't know too much about tuning...i want to know more....but i don't want to cook the motor either...whats the normal running temp???

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:42:44 am »

well normal running temp is relative. But aluminum melts pretty easy so a little rule of thumb (i think? don't quote me! for the love of god don't quote me!) never go above 1,200F ?

Clintwalker85 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:44:03 am »

how fast is his shipping i'm in canada :?

Smokey Eddy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:45:39 am »

prothe?
quite a while. he uses the cheapest (slowest) shipping possible but im sure you can upgrade if you like.

http://www.importcarpartscanada.ca/ ships really freakin fast. I think they are in ON?

Clintwalker85 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:52:10 am »
