cxracing has a new tubular manifold I want to test out. The walls of the tubing is much thicker than any cxracing or ebay style manifold Ive ever seen. Much heavier duty. It comes as t3/t4 combo with the opening being t4 sized. I have precision 6466 t3 exh housing. My concern, obviously the exh...

My passenger axle wouldn't come out, had to pull trans and use my "grim reaper prybar" and pry it out. In this process, while trying to easily pry and rotate axle, the axle popped out but with only have the C clip. So this means the other half is in the trans. !great! what is involved with...

quick question. the a/c bracket bolt broke off. my fault as I failed to put a spacer in. my question is, what size are the bolts? I got my gauges out at work, and it appears that the smaller bolt has 18 threads per inch? so a 3/8"-18. but that is so uncommon apparently. are they actually...

I pulled my motor out tuesday night and put a head gasket, SMIM, and exhaust manifold on it along with some other small additions. I got the car running saturday night, and after a few pulls for a new tune, the oil filter shaft came loose and huge mess to say the least. I cleaned it off and re...

as stated, I have a 1g with vr4 front calipers, and they dont like to stop. Rotors are starting to glaze, I'm going to blame whatever cheap pads may be on there right now. I like what I've read about the Hawk HPS. Hawk HB214F 618 HPS Performance Street Brake Pads Front | eBay I dont care about...

I was on the interstate late one night and decided to do a pull. needle was at the M in mph. and everything was fine till I went to downshift at my exit some 40 miles from when I did the pull. It was like it was stuck in neutral, I had to force it into gear to get the car out of the...

My buddy has one of these turbos that came out of a newer Cummins vehicle. I understand that it is motor operated to increase the size from 3cm to 9cm depending on settings. Has anyone tried to put one of these turbos on a DSM? Thanks

pictures speak for themselves. this is cylinder #2 piston. I was having massive oil blowby in motor (smoking out vent in vc at idle) and decided to build up. I find this piston in this shape to my amazement. The other 3 pistons are perfect for 10k miles. had 145psi on all 3 of the others. What...

I've got a cracked ring in cylinder 2. so im going to put rings and rods and pistons in it. my question is how easy is it to yank the motor rather then taking it apart in the engine bay? does the tranny come out with it? can i just disconnect the lines and yank the motor out? i'm in a compact...

my wideband has been bouncing significantly with the numbers while cruising speed and idle. cruising numbers are horrific, talking about a swing from 13-17 sometimes even way lean so that it cant read. i can definitely fell a strain on the motor when the afrs drop lean ( about after 15.8-16.1 or...
