Having used heat range 7 and now using 6, I have to say the 6 is a step down.

More engine knock, slight decline in fuel efficiency - and more smoke. Next tune up, the 6's are OUT!

it's still an option over this piss we getting at the pump, as the major limiting factor is fuel octane...however at the moment I'm performing way short of stock so the task is to bring it up to a workable level of tune first and then MAYBE we'll lean on it a bit and see what she can do

til then, I'm just trying to gather as much into as I could on it

breds, I always getting either the grey and black ones that REAL flimsy or the all black ones which are durable, but have fitment issues with the injector harness and the length of the stem...I studying when I get to replacing mine if I could use a small L and put in an in-line unit instead

hook when u lean the 20 v u lose torque, trust me on this, around 12.5:1 afr is good after 3000rpm , richening also fights the knock, i know 12.5 :1 sounds a bit rich but it works 4 me . i have a wideband so u can check me when u ready to get c what your engine doing.

Zeriam, i'm looking for a new one

Hook, i bought a black one yesterday and the stem was too long, on top of that when i tried it in a spear tappet cover to check the fit and pulling it out the think broke apart so i looking for OEM.
May go back to TTTL and order it, they say 6 weeks, i guess i will have to wait.

I bought and installed a new PCV valve, ran it for a couple weeks and the blowby seems to be sorted out.

Had to wait a month for TTTL to bring it in @ TT$180 but it seems to be worth the wait. And it may be my imagination but i'm getting an extra 10km per tank.

dmitc · Postby **dmitc** » July 4th, 2009, 11:45 am

ok so new problem
when every I'm accelerating and reach exactly 3000rpm the car holds back till about 3250rpms then continues as normal.
any ideas as to the cause or how to rectify?

good read guys.. :mrgreen:

Aarong420 · Postby **Aarong420** » July 9th, 2009, 9:48 pm

^^^, seems to me all 20V PCV valves give in after a while and need to be changed. Before u go changing rings and valve seals, i reccommend u make sure it's in good working order.

dmitc · Postby **dmitc** » July 10th, 2009, 7:00 am

mikeae91, will look into it although the problem occurs with less frequency these days

Aarong420, i think the PCV valve is something that should be changed at installation when you changing the seals and belts etc. i have been purposely running at high rpms for the past few weeks after i changed the valve and could report no blowby at all and even with the high rpm run on avg i'm getting 30km extra on a tank of gas which is a 10% increase.

Zeriam · Postby **Zeriam** » July 11th, 2009, 10:53 pm

mikeae91,no

dmitc · Postby **dmitc** » July 12th, 2009, 12:18 am

mikeae91, TTTL don't keep pcv valves for 20 valves in stock but they will order it for you.
as for the idle problem i don't think the oxygen sensor is the problem , it might be the cause of you poor fuel economy but not the idle (i could be wrong)

hey tuners! the 4age turbo is back but i want to go further and upgrade my cam gears! Can any one explain to me fully about upgrading cam gears on my 20V ST what are some of the steps to tune the cam gears?

Zeriam · Postby **Zeriam** » July 12th, 2009, 11:47 pm

with adjustable cam gears u lose vvt from what i've seen on other forums. are u using stock ST cams??

dmitc · Postby **dmitc** » July 13th, 2009, 10:54 am

mikeae91, can't say but you can call TTTL and ask, the part # should be 89465-19495 i suspect the may say around $1500.

HaRdCoRe_YoUtH · Postby **HaRdCoRe_YoUtH** » July 13th, 2009, 1:18 pm

Zeriam, yeh i am! What can you advise me?

I wanted to upgrade my camshaft both exhaust and intake and also the cam gears.

Zeriam · Postby **Zeriam** » July 13th, 2009, 10:38 pm

BT cams work great, vvt comes in around 4k rpm its very aggressive. i dont know much about adjustable cam gears only company i seen that make them for 20v is areospeed
