umm.. 18 MPG in the city... no idea with highway or mixed highway.. since the highways in Denver are bumper to bumper all the time.. it's considered city.. under 30mph.. arrgg

seems the 240sx is going wild

I should probably move to a turbo oil pump soon huh... turbo might be starving.. *cough*

Ok I lied.. i went back out... and BARELY touched the pedal and pushed very slowly... and it went right to the floor and if I push it hard it's firm... ARGG

well.. my parents have been tryn to force me to sell the car. but I'm not giving in.. but I guess a daily driver for a 19 year old college kid.. in a car that breaks down EVERY week.. ranging from electrical gremlins.. to a blown up radiator on the way to finals (which I barely barely made) and MASSIVE starting issues every morning when it's cold it's not ideal I'm tryn to buy a 2nd car a Mazda Miata for a Daily Driver.. har har.. but sometimes.. it's impractical

Well the rear brakes i didn't touch... I took the car to a shop and they gave me an estimate of $600.. ha.. they said the fronts were gone.. but the rears were in spec.. so I figured I had some time before they pooped out... All I did when I did the brakes, was install new front rotors, wheel bearings, and pads.... and Ive gone though maybe a quart of fluid by now.. flushing it over and over. would adjusting the drums affect it? even though they havent really been touched? the pads do not vibrate or squeel or anything.. and no rubbing.. very little pressure, and I mean little.. still results in a firm pedal.. very firm.. at a stand still once i start moving..it goes down

Ok.. a few weeks ago i did my front brakes for the first time.. However, I have bled the brakes and clutch numerous times so I shouldn' t of been a problem.. well after the new pads and rotors, and bleeding the system, I have had some "squishiness".. I went out and bought a vacuum pump hoping it fix the situation.. but here is what I am dealing with : - I jump in the car, start her up and drive to the stop sign about 20 feet away, firm pedal, hard braking - I then drive about 1/4 mile down the street to the next stop sign, the pedal goes about half way down the floor this time and is very soft, so I let up, and push the pedal down again, nice and firm! hmm - I drive about another 1/4 mile to the next stop sign in 3rd gear, push the brakes and it goes about half way again, so I let up and push again, nice and firm!! - I drive to the stop light about 3/8 of a mile away, nice and firm.. argg So the pedal pressure is iffy, sometimes firm and sometimes squishy.. So I have bled the master cylinder 3 times, and I have bled the two front brakes many many many times... 6 times today. The master cylinder has been full of fluid, all the fittings are tight, and the bleed screws are tight.. Here's my procedure : 1. Open up the master cylinder cap 2. Attach the vacuum pump and pump to (-)20 in. 3. Open the bleeder valve about 1/4 of a turn and let it run to (-)15 in. close the bleeder. and pump back up to (-)20in. 4. Repeat numerous times and switch to the other side 5. Keep checking reservoir and make sure it's full I even had my brother pump the brakes 3 times and hold it down, in addition to the vacuum pump!! Any thoughts?? The master cylinder was replaced 2 years ago.

hmm i was under the impression the stock turbo ECU maxes out at 10psi.. bastaad is right though.. more fuel pressure will handle it .. or a rising rate FPR or adjustable fpr.. sweet.. rock on!

i bought the pigtails from RS auto and i was very impressed.. i would recommend them for the sensors and pigtails!

ummm.. turn it way down.. the stock turbo ECU will max out at 10psi.. it cant think anymore after 10psi!

um.. it flows... Notice the hose connected to the fittings as well?? Thats for the coolant to the turbo
