    Experienced Rebuilders Input needed

    What would be the "target" if you were to do one perfectly? I've heard to do the rods slightly looser than the mains, or should they be relatively the same?

    Experienced Rebuilders Input needed

    Eagle H Beam rods. Like I said, both of those are using +.001" King Race Bearings I can Use the STD set if need be. I did use both the bore gauge and plastigauge methods. I just wasnt sure what everyone built race-spec motor clearances to.

    Experienced Rebuilders Input needed

    It's been a while since I've actually had to rebuild an engine and I measured everything up and wanted some second opinions on my clearances and some advice.I'm doing my engine and one for a friend right now.Mine is a 6-bolt. I'm using King Racing bearings with the extra clearances on both...

    2G Clutch slips and rings are bad... what should I do with my beloved car?

    Honestly, try a U-pull-it scrapyard. You could walk out with a good 420a motor and maybe even a clutch attached if your lucky for about $100. I see these motors all the time where I'm at. Parts yard motors are iffy, but that's what a lot of people do sometimes. It would probably be the best plan...

    Resolved Turbo Oiling issue

    Okay, so this little brainstorm was very helpful. I think I found the source of the problem. A while ago (not that long before the first turbo started smoking) I put a little inline fuel filter to joint a line on my catchcan line because I only had two short pieces of hose left at the time and...

    Resolved Turbo Oiling issue

    Okay, I'm having some horrible oil issues with my turbo(s) and I really want some opinions.First the car had a Garrett 3076r, that was on the car for 15k or so miles. I purchased it used a while ago. Fed it from the OFH with a .030" restrictor and a -10an drain line. One day it just started...

    New STM product to make your life easier!

    I'm in for a +3 on -8AN. I've been looking for something like this but I was going to have to settle with using 3 different fittings to make this same thing. This is much cleaner. Anyone running a single in-tank pump will likely want -8 at least.Any idea on when/if you will do the -8?

    1990 Eagle Talon Sleeper

    I watched your two latest videos with your new tires and the results the other day and it had me wondering what your reason was for choosing the Radial tire over the Muscle Car drag tires? My car is similar to yours and I intended on going to go with the latter.

    2G Cooling Fan Toggle Switch

    Personally I would buy something like this, until you repair the factory cooling fan circuit. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/imperial-thermostatic-fan-control-adjustable-226208/15230000-P?searchTerm=fan controlHaving it on a switch you might forget to turn it on or off, both having adverse...

    Open T3 vs Twin-Scroll T4

    Okay, maybe I need to ask a different question..I just want to be clear so I understand. What is really better T3 or T4 TS.For simplicity sake, what differences would be seen comparing the same turbo in the .82a/r T3 to one in a 1.0 or similar T4 Twin-Scroll Hotside?
  13. JayB12

    Open T3 vs Twin-Scroll T4

    I was under the impression that twin scroll housings worked better for pump gas. Not sure why, I was guessing back pressure and lower EGTs. I'm not really too worried about spool.I guess what I'm asking is if a 300sx fmw going to be the better turbo based on a 1.10 a/r housing vs a 6266 in an...

    Open T3 vs Twin-Scroll T4

    Okay, I've been searching around a bit and I just cannot get a definite answer. I've been doing some research on my next turbo and have come to a point where I cannot decide.I have been debating on a Ball-bearing Precision 6266/6466 in a .82a/r T3 or a similar sized Borg-Warner in Divided T4...

    Center Diff Question

    Okay, I intend to race at the Shootout this coming weekend and I need to get this new trans in this week.The current one is a 91 awd trans (I think), the new one is a 90 awd trans.I plan on swapping the shift arm on the trans and pulling the output shaft and putting in a 23 spline one to fit...

    Intermittent Parasitic Drain + Idle Problems

    Also, if I unplug the C-59 connector to the ecu, the relay goes off. But unplugging C-60 has no change.

    Intermittent Parasitic Drain + Idle Problems

    Another update if anyone can help:Drain now happens all the time, it's the MPI relay, it was coming on/off with the key out. Now it is always on while the car is off unless the battery is out.Anyone have a circuit diagram for the MPI? All the threads that have it have no working pictures. :(

    Intermittent Parasitic Drain + Idle Problems

    More updates....I think the two problems are seperate things, and I still have been unable to catch the parasitic draw. Every time I check it is normal.The idle issue I had fixed by just turning th biss out about 2 full turns the car went back to idling like normal, then about a week later...

    Intermittent Parasitic Drain + Idle Problems

    I've had a very intermittent parasitic drain that has plagued me for the last three months. I drive the car to and from work 7 days a week. Once every week or two I would come out and the battery would be dead, just enough that the starter will not move at all but the dash lights stay on after...

    ETS Race IC Mounting Question

    I got just this core, not the whole kit. I'm having trouble mounting the intercooler. It hits the "hood latch support bar" as I'm calling it. Do you guys usually cut this out?

    Clutch Problems

    It probably was pretty worn, I knew I should have done that to begin with but was just hoping this would work out. I have the disk here still in my garage and it is beveled. :ohdamn:Should I just buy another 2600 PP or go with a 2900? I also saw Comp Clutch kits at nearly the same price as an...

    Clutch Problems

    Okay, so a few weeks ago I got my car up to about 30psi tuning and the clutch started to slip on colder nights, it was an act2600/street disk which had been great for the last 10k miles. I figured I had just pushed past the TQ rating on it so I pulled it out and since I am low on cash I saved up...

    1G AWD Trans Internal Questions

    Awesome! I was looking for a write-up like that, just couldn't find it. Thanks. :thumb:Hopefully It doesn't have a hole. But I do have another case from my other busted trans if that's the case.

    1G AWD Trans Internal Questions

    Okay, I have taken my center diff out of my trans to get welded and I had a few questions.-How exactly does the fifth gear go back together? Is there a diagram? I just am not really sure how the syncro shoes are supposed to fit.-How much harder is it to remove the large section of the...

    Questions for Justin...

    Okay, dumb question but what is the difference between a gt3076r and a gt3076rL I had the turbo off the car and I found this is the part number and wanted to know if there was any difference.Thanks.

    Multiple driveline noise/vibrations

    Okay. I have three noises/vibrations in the drive line of this 92 tsi awd I purchaced recently.The first is the most violent, I can't make it happen, just does it randomly. It sounds like the driveshaft falls out of the tcase and slams around. Really loud and lasts ~10 secs then goes away...

    OEM BS elim plug & Gasket prep question.

    I used a touch of grey RTV around the edge of the rubber rubber plug, hasn't leaked.I did not use anything on the front case cover gasket, although some people use copper spray, seems to work fine either way. Make sure you remove all of the old gaskets as well and just torque it to the right...

    How to tell if my ECU is chipped for dsmlink or not

    Pop the ECU open and check (4 screws), it's pretty easy to tell. On earlier versions the chip is not red but they still say DSMlink on them.

    3076r Smoking?

    Okay, so I finally got a bigger straighter drain, and it still does it. Maybe slightly less, I couldn't tell though.Is there anything I can do to lower the amount of oil getting to the turbo without going to a head oil feed? Reason being I really don't want to do a helicoil and damage...

    21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT

    I heard that your allowed camping at the track, is this true? Because if it is, that's what me and my friends are doing. Anybody have info on this?
  37. JayB12

    3076r Smoking?

    So you think it's getting too much oil pressure?The only reason I didn't feed it from the head is because the head feed threads are stripped on this car. :notgood:This turbo is used btw, not brand new.
  38. JayB12

    3076r Smoking?

    So I just installed a 3076r on my brothers '92 awd.Pulled out of the garage for the first drive with it and it pops a nice cloud of bluish smoke between shifts after WOT, which it never did before.Compression is 165 across on a eagle/weisco motor.Is this turbo going out already?Fed from...

    Holset Turbos, PART 9

    Since I still haven't found an answer, does anyone know if there is another flange that will bolt on the the BEP .70 Turbine housing besides THIS one?It's just that this one is more than 3x more expensive than most I found, but is there a difference between this one and a generic 3" v-band...

    1G Weird No Crank-No Start

    Bump start worked. So what would this problem be? Not enough power to the starter?
  41. JayB12

    1G Weird No Crank-No Start

    I took it into advance auto and it operated like normal. I can swap it out though just to try with the starter off the gsx. Plus it has never shown any sign of going out before, just one morning - nothing.

    1G Weird No Crank-No Start

    There is one so you don't have to use the clutch to start it. I have used it before. If it were the cam sensor (1g so no crank sensor)it would still crank.It literally acts like the motor is locked up, the starter pops out but won't spin the fw. But I can easily turn the motor over with a...

    1G Weird No Crank-No Start

    I used dsmlink to invert the signal, but like I said, you can hear the starter clacking. Almost like the motor is seized, but it isn't.

    1G Weird No Crank-No Start

    So before you ask, battery is at full charge, headlights don't dim. I took out the starter and it tested fine.You can hear it pop out and try and turn the engine over, but it won't.I thought maybe somehow the engine seized, but no, spins over easily with a wrench.I don't have anywhere to...

    Extremepsi.com clevite rod bearings

    I have Clevite rod and main bearings, motor was built back in '09 though. I don't know if they were discontinued or not though. It's not too uncommon to mix brands of bearings though, if you cannot find the 77's.
  46. JayB12

    Extremepsi.com clevite rod bearings

    Yes, that's what one of my motors has, no problems running 25+ psi on a 30r.It's more in the clearances you set the bearings to than the bearings themselves, for most people.Your just reading it wrong, they are aluminum bearings not bearings specifically for aluminum rods.They will work...

    What breaks first? Tcase? Axels? @ the track.

    If you have an LSD rear one axle's splines are longer than the other.On my first time to the track I completely stripped 4th gear, and I'm probably only at ~400.
