Ok guys so I've had a few dilemmas with my G lately. To clarify first I have an 05 6MT coupe with V2 ART pipes, XYZ pipe, Mrev2 with 5/16 spacer all motordyne products. I am deciding whether to get an Osiris tune or get a Chargespeed rear. Here are my dilemmas so first dilemma my engine is running super lean right now to the point where I feel my engine could get damaged. Anytime I rev over 4000 rpm's my exhaust starts smoking like crazy. I can't even drive the car spirited which is how the car is supposed to be driven and how I prefer to drive. I know I still don't have a full exhaust quite yet but feel I am ready for a tune with what I got so please don't tell me wait for all your bolt-ons to get a tune even tho you think I may not be ready. Ok.... 2nd dilemma someone backed into me in my school parking garage didn't leave a note or nothing hit and run I don't want to go through insurance to get it fixed cuz my rates will go up. I've decided to get the poly version of the Chargespeed Rear. So if it were you guys would you get a tune so you can drive spirited again, or we you fix your bumper to get looking good again and just cruise? Any and all opinions are welcome! Thanks! Sorry for the long post.

 

Tune, without question...make sure your not burning oil as well

 

Tune. Make sure your car is running properly before throwing money into unnecessary/optional items. Nomsayin?

After you add on the rest of your performance/exhaust components, re-tunes only run ~$150.

 

Yea for real function>appearance. Plus it will be nice to get those extra ponies, imroved throttle response, and AFR's fixed cuz my gas mileage is sh** right now. hopefully Osiris is everything users say about it.

Ok guys tune is 9/19/2011 at forged. Hopefully Osiris is what everyone says it is. I just learned lately that unfortunately my revup engine has the OC issue.

 

if the OC issue is bad enough and your under warranty get that engine replaced

if not under warranty and you get tuned you MUST keep tabs 24/7 on your oil level or KABOOM!

 

Thanks for the advice haha. Yea I pretty much have to check my oil every other fill up at the gas station sad I know.

 

im in the replacement process 2 qts every thousand miles ......

 

Do you just add 2 quarts every thousand miles regardless? Or do you check the dipstick or wait to here any funny noises?

 

its pretty consistent, i check it frequently and keep it at the H level but over a 1000 mile period ill have put 2 quarts in the motor

if you hear noises thats your motor grinding metal:metal without lubrication..... very bad could have damaged bearings ect already if that is the case

 

I def think I damaged the bearings it took me a couple days to figure what it was. After the oil was changed the noise went away. I guess I will just have to do an engine swap eventually. Is there is a way to fix this issue? Is it possibly a leak in an oil piston ring? What is the reason these motors have this problem?

 

Def tune, how bad is the damage on the rear?

 

The rear is actually pretty minor just paint and bondo chipped off from where the bumper was fixed before. Def takes away from the appearance of the G but manageable for now.
