• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I HATE you but want to keep you.

it sadly failed but who know's maybe someone just drove the living piss out of it...they failed for a reason, gonna blame it on the car and say the frame is bad? =P lol....

a bad mechanic working on it can cause parts to fail too:D

agreed if its the same wheel bearing then its probably mechanic error, and the first owner must of been ruthless on it. or you can blame it on the frame lol

donmega, are u getting any knock with 3.4 and basic mods on a genV?

Not really (at least what people overexaggerate here) , i mean theres proly some knocking retards in there but i dont notice it. looking to get rockers and rods when money comes in. Car runs great though i havent run it hard in months bc of my trans seeping metal flakes(death card). idk im gona get it dyno in the next few months. I have some test and numbers i want to get for it. Im finally getting her back today with a new trans:th_laugh-lol3:
 


I'd get a way to scan bruh. That's like havin a 3.2 puley on a gen 3. I'd bet ur gettin upwards of 8+ degrees of KR. Each degree is taking away 5 HP. Not to mention the risk of droppin a piston in ur oil pan. U should def invest in a aeroforce gauge.

NONSENSE POOPY PANTS!!!! naw idk what the kr is im so sick of hearing about it. im gona find it all out this summer. i dont think its that much. not like i threw a pulley in and said "thats it im good" i was looking into an aeroforce gauge though
 
Seriously, get an Aeroforce, its Sex.

I didnt think I was knocking on my 3.4 on my Gen 3 before my headers, because "it ran so damn good"

Well turns out I was grabbing 4-5degrees at WOT.
Headers, and colder plugs later, no knock at all.

But you'd be way way better getting it scanned, and staying off the throttle, then going knock knock knock BAM..
 
There's a sticky on kR in one of the sections. Lots of good info. But basically KR is when ur fuel ignites before its supposed to due to really high internal temps created by excessive boost in ur caseit usually occurs under heavy throttle. KR is the worst thing u can have in our cars. The preignition of fuel in ur cylinder can cause massive damage. I.E. Blowing ur pistons into pieces. Ur car does have a knock sensor which will cut timing when KR is detected but that doesn't mean ur safe. U have currently have mods to run a 3.6 safely. Just tryin to look out. I've shattered 3 pistons in the past due to KR. Trust me its no fun!
 
so what do you suggest bc others have the same set up i do???? and if you say intercooler really think about it i just dropped 2400 for a trans dont exactly have money for an intercooler. not to mention ive been running 40k miles now with the upgrades no issues

i have headers and colder plugs already like you do? i can be like everyone else......OMG GET UR MSD COILS OUT!!!!!!! lol
 
im not trying to be a d*** i do appreciate the concern and input but yall always make it sound like ima blow up my engine and i have no idea what im doing. I know all about the knocking retards, the coil theory is going to be tested. I consider it a theory bc no one can generate #s of proof(not saying you all are wrong) but i like to see things with me own eyes

3.4" on a GenV is a 3.2" area on a GenIII...

So, good luck with just headers.
