I've done some searching and haven't found anyother people talking about or attempting the thing I've thought of doing to one of my DSM's so I thought I'd see what you guys think. Feel free to tell me its lame or not plausible, but please be gentle. I'm just talking hypothetically. I'm not sure...

I'm working on a build for a 93' Talon TSi AWD. I'm shooting for the 400 hp range and I might do a light shot of NOS. Will the stock axles hold ok or should I upgrade? The trans is already being rebuilt to handle the power.

I'm rebuilding a 6 bolt block with reconditioned 6 bolt rods and evo 9 pistons. I'm aiming for like 400 horse or so. The block has already been hot tanked and magnafluxed and I'm about to get it bored and decked. I was just wondering if I should get the mains aligned. Looking at them, they look...

I just picked up a second DSM and its a 93' TSi AWD. The motor is blown and the short block needs to be rebuilt. I'm pulling the motor later on tonight so I don't know the extent of the damage, but if everything is garbage - crank, rods, and pistons - I have a crank from a 92' GSX and I was...

Hey guys, my name is Matt. I've been dying to get access to post in this forum and I just recently got my proven member status. Anyways, I'm building a 1G GSX for road racing. I've never done road racing so this car will be my first build for road racing. I'm pretty good with motors, I've built...

I don't really know anything about high performance suspensions, but I was wondering how a full high performance suspension would go on a 1G AWD DSM like mine. I know a little a bout suspesnsions. I know struts, bushings, contrtol and trailing arms, sway bars, and I've installed most of them. I...

Anyone know where I can purhcase some trans internals to rebuild my own trans to hold more power? I can't seem to find anything online although I didn't really expect to.

I have my 92' GSX chassis almost completely stripped and ready for a repaint. I still have to sand it and cut out the rear floor cause I'm doing a new one in stainless. I've never painted a car before and I was just wondering how much sanding I have to do. Do I have to get down to bare metal or...

I was just wondering why some people ditch the oil squirters in the block. I know that with forged pistons the crowns of the pistons don't need the extra lubrication and cooling which is what the squirters do, but is there an advantage to removing them or is it just to get rid of the...

I was looking at some aftermarket rear diffs for my 92 GSX and I haven't been able to find horsepower ratings on any of them. Maybe diffs aren't normally rated for power. I don't know. Do you guys know anything about the subject.

How much power can the stock crank on a 1G 4G63 take?

I'm always butting heads with my car enthusiast friends or whatever you might call them. (Not DSMer's. I'm the only one out of the bunch.) None of us can ever agree on what kind of mods are useful, cool, worthwhile, tasteful, or whatever. Our vehicles and ideas about our common hobby seem to...

I have a 92' GSX. I was wondering about how the viscous coupling diffs work on this car. I was under the impression, becuase of the sticker in my door jam regarding the diff system, that on this car either all 4 wheels turn at the same speed or none turn at all. I was removing the driveshaft on...

Anyone know where to get the carbon fiber piece in this picture. interior before roll cage - center console DSMtuners Gallery Sorry, I don't know the name of that piece.

I'm working on a 1G project right now. I have stripped my 92' GSX and I have it sitting on jackstands. I still have to get the front half shafts and the rear axle off, but other than that its stripped inside and out. My plan is to finish my chassis over the winter and have it rolling by spring...

I want to make the top of my valve cover perfectly flat. Think it would be ok if I cut off the lettering and then maybe smoothed it out with bondo and some sandpaper? I just don't want to ruin anything. Know if this will work?

Do you guys think you could chang a rod bearing without pulling the motor? I was just going to pull off the oil pan and do it from below. I'm thinking about buying a 2G GSX that spun one.

Anyone know what that thing is in the head between the cams on the side opposite the pulleys? Its that thing wuth three bolts in it right above the studs for the therm. housing. Just wondering.

Anyone know if the HKS spring set comes with retainers? If they don't, anyone know of a good set for a street driven car? It won't be a daily driver. More like a weekend car when the weather's nice and I'll also be tracking the car all summer. The head is going to have HKS 272's with the HKS cam...

I've got everything out of the engine bay of my 92' GSX and I'm about to spray it. After the motor is done that's going in and then I'm putting the car back together, but I want as little under the hood as possible. I'm already going to put the battey in the trunk, but where does everyone who...

I'm working on a 4g63T build for around 350hp hopefully. I was going to get the head checked for warpage and redecked if necessary. I'm sure the head needs to have the valve seats redone and the 3 angle refreshed. Once I get the head back I was going to do new guides, springs, valves, cams, and...

I want to learn how to tune my car with the stand alone AEM EMS unit. I don't care about being certified and I don't plan on using one on my car soon. I'm just really interested in learning how to tune 4g63 mototrs or anything really and since the AEM EMS is the biggest tool for tuning cars I...

I just ordered the Forge UNOS MBC. Obviously I want to crank my boost as high as possible, but I need help to know how high would still be safe. Here's what I have on the car so far: Stock fuel pump wired for constant pressure, stock internals, rebuilt head. 150k miles, GM MAF and translator...

I'm tired of dealing with all the annoying vacuum lines and plugs going to the stock throttle body on my 1g GSX. Also. doesn't the fact that coolant lines run through the throttle body to warm up the air for cold weather mean that the stock throttle body is robbing my car of power? I was...

Anyone know what size the stock fuel, oil pressure, and water temp gauges are in a 1g eclipse. I want to switch them out for aftermarket ones and I need to know what size to get. Also, if anyone has done this before, got any tips or advice?

I'm slowly making progress on my 92' GSX project car. It's a daily driver for now, but eventually I want to make about 700 horse or so. I was thinking of doing the fuel system next. AEM rail, pressure regualtor, and high flow fuel filter, 6AN line, big injectors, and a Walbro 255. Eventually I'm...

I just removed all the AC stuff from under the hood of my 92' GSX because I never use AC and the system wasn't charged anyways. I was toying with the notion of removing all the rest of the climate control stuff from the car - heater core assembly, evaporator, blower, air ducts, even the selector...

I want to take all the ABS components out of my 92' GSX. I already had to take one of the trigger wheels off to change the studs on one of the front wheels. I figure I might as well get the other one and then remove the ABS controller and all the ABS lines. My Haynes manual doesn't say how to...

I was wondering why some people convert to a manual steering rack. Better performance or something? Also my 92' GSX has cruise control. I don't really use it so I was thinking of removing it. Is there any benefit to not having it? Better throttle response becuase of bypassing the bellcrank...

How do you choose a compression ratio when you buy pistons? I fully understand what compression ratio is and that most cars are 10:1, but lets say I hypothetically was building a high performance motor that I wanted to produce like 5 or 6 hundred + horse. Would I want a higher ratio? Also, I'm...

I just picked up a 4g63 block that I want to build, but first I want to paint it. Mostly I'm concerned with getting paint on the deck and in the cylinders. What's the best way to cover that stuff? It seems like tape might leave an uneven edge where the deck ends. Also, should I paint over the...

I just took one of the rear tires of off my 92' GSX and noticed there wasn't an abs trigger wheel. Are there supposed to be ones in the rear or are they only on the front?

First off, I just lost my Haynes manual otherwise I probably wouldn't need to ask for help here. After an hour of literally tearing my house apart trying to find that that thing, here's my problem. For a while I've heard this scraping noise coming from my rear driver's side wheel and I know the...

I have a 92 eclipse gsx. I'm trying to tune with a GM MAF translator. Can anyone please tell me what the stock injector size is for my car?

I've got a 92 gsx. Its a project car and the first car I've ever really built on my own. My goal is to get it running somewhere around a 10. I'm going to be doing a 2.4 L stroker kit when I get the cash. Anyways, I found someone with a brand new set of brian crower 272 cams. Never used. He...

I have a 92' GSX. I found a guy on craigslist selling a 4g63 block and I want to go pick it up today so I can start putting together my new engine with the stroker kit I'm about to buy. I was just wondering what kind of things I should look for to make sure its in good shape. He said it was hot...
