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 smogYou potential Megasquirt users need to get together for a GB on a PnP setup for the Protg.
Im afraid to push it any further! only 32.5k miles
Drove the MSP to work 2 days in a row.
The clunk is killing it for me. HATE IT.
EvilMonkey said he installed poly swaybar bushings and "fixed" it for him.
It isn't fixed. It SUCKS! Unacceptable. If I can't fix the clunk I'm selling it.
The clunk fix kit has had some bad reviews. Can't even get it any more (?).
Should I try lots of teflon tape on bar? Noise not coming from links (new HD links).
If you can't fix the clunk you shouldn't have an MSP lol. The links "could" be not tight enough. the poly bushings could be worn out, something could be broken, among other things.
The roads are pretty bad here right now.
Poly bushings don't wear out fast, and pretty sure Emonkey did the bushings within the last year. But I will check them.
Noise comes from each end of the car. LF, RF, LR, RR depending on the bump I've hit.
When you say links could be not tight enough, do you mean that the nuts might not be tight enough? The ball joint in the links is tight, put new ones on a week ago. Could the bolts be banging inside the holes in the strut mounts and bar ends? Perhaps I could make a bushing for that?
What do you know about using teflon tape?
I've heard that the s.bar needs to be "stabilized"?
Design flaw with the car. Poly really only last about 10-12k, rubber even less. Definitely check the endlink to make sure they are tight.The roads are pretty bad here right now.
