Title: booyah smoking like a freight train
Post by: sethyboy85 on January 13, 2006, 04:59:27 pm
Installed some reman NA injectors that I put GTD nozzles in and left my fuel alone, now it pulls just as hard from 2k to 4k where as it dropped off before at 3.5k

My fuel is pretty far up but I never did touch the smoke screw, however the whole process of installing injectors and buying a 1/2" torque wrench to installing them in the car and taking care of return line leaks= 2.75hrs for my first time doing anything like that, so I think it took me 2hrs cause I was looking for my torque wrench then remembered it was 3/8" so I went and got one.

all in all it was a productive day and I look foward to seeing a MPG boost if I can keep my foot out of it.

oh yeah dropping the clutch from 2k now spins the tires where as before it only chirpped one.

All I have is a 3/8" torque wrench... but I have a neat little $1.50 adapter that lets me use 1/2" drive sockets with my 3/8" wrench. That's gotta be cheaper than a new torque wrench!

Or is it bad to use an adapter on a torque wrench?

It can screw it up... but it's always nice to have correct tools for the job, I have alot of wrenching coming up with a drivetrain swap in another car so it's not like I won't be using it again.
