    Dash lights come on at 6k

    I'll make sure to check the voltages and see what we get. I personally haven't driven the car since it's still in the previous owners name. I'll ask my buddy and see if he notices any difference in power.

    Dash lights come on at 6k

    Hey everybody, it's been a while since I've been on here but my best friend scored himself a '95 TSI AWD, our new project, so I'll be around again!Anyways, He picked the car up for $1500, all it needed was a battery and IAC and she was up and running again. He was also given a PTE 6776RSP...

    when to upgrade auto trans and intercooler?

    If the sleeper look is what you want then look into a supra side mount or the dejon side mount

    2G thinkng about swapping my ecu

    I have used both dsmlink and ecuflash and they are both great. I never had a problem with flashing my ecu. I still prefer link though since it is a little more user friendly and I think the logger is better than evo scan.

    13.8.1 afr

    Its not so much what the block can handle. There is a member on here that put his car in the 9's on the stock block. If you plan on running more than the 20 psi you stated (and trust me, you will) those 750's are only going to take you so far. I personally would recommend 1000's or larger.

    what problems to expect?

    Sounds like a good street setup to me. Hold off on using the injectors until you get dsmlink.

    Abandoned Vehicle

    I wish I would have known about that. There was a beat 2G sitting on the side of 270 for almost a month with no plates on it. I drove past it everyday when I was working in Rockville and kept wondering if there was anything i could do to obtain it for a beater.

    t28 vs. 16g and o2 waste gate dumps

    As others have said, the T28 is going to be a direct swap, the 16G will require an install kit, j-pipe, ect. I ran a dumped o2 on my GSX and I personally loved it. It really is a love it or hate it kind of thing. I have talked with numerous people who went to a a dumped housing and then switched...

    Possible meet/hang out in Baltimore?

    Now that I have a running vehicle I can actually make it to meets, too bad it's not a dsm anymore. I will have one soon though, I hope. Lol.

    The New DD

    As long as you keep the maintenance up to date, just like any other car, it will last you as long as you want it to. The 4.3's don't seem like they are quite as finicky as some other motors I have dealt with.
  11. L0ckett

    The New DD

    If this motor does take a dump on me then I may look into finding a way to shoehorn a 4g63 in there, haha.
  12. L0ckett

    The New DD

    Agreed. Trucks like the s-10/sonoma don't look good lifted IMO. If you are dead set in lifting a truck then buy a Ram or F250.
  13. L0ckett

    The New DD

    Thanks guys. So far she is holding up great. There are no weird noises or taps or anything and the motor is actually pretty clean looking for a 12 year old truck. It does need some spots of paint touched up and a dent removed from the front fender but that's just little stuff. I do plan on...

    The New DD

    Well I finally ended up selling my Eclipse last week. I was in need of something that would handle all the driving that I do for work and the car just wasn't doing it for me. It left me stranded way too many times when it wasn't sitting in the shop trying to straighten out all the issues it had...
  15. L0ckett

    looking for reliable DD advice please?

    I'm actually picking up a 99 GMC Sonoma (same as the S-10) in the morning for a daily driver. It's got the 4.3 V6 which is a very very reliable motor as long as you keep up with maintenance. My father and I both do a ton of driving for work and he has an Astro van with the same motor, has over...

    What Mods Would You Do Next?

    +1 on the suspension. Also go witsome bigger injectors, fuel pump, afpr, and some sort of tuning device. It really all depends on your horsepower goal and how much cash you have.

    where are all the dsm people in Harford/Baltimore county??

    I'm in PA but I work all over MD. My company is based out of Glen Burnie and now they have me down in Gaithersburg. I finally got my car up and running yesterday and still need help with some small things. I'm also down to help any other DSMer or just meeting up to shoot the shit!

    kicker sub

    In my tiburon I was running 3 infinity kappa 10's in a ported box on a 1200 watt amp and it really hit hard but was still very clear. I don't listen to too much rap myself and these subs handled the double bass kicks and. 808's of Motionless In White and other hardcore without an issue.

    Body Kit on a DSM ( no flaming )

    If you want to go with a body kit that looks pretty sweet and is actually functional ask Andrew Brilliant to make you one of his kits, just be prepared to drop 5k on it.

    I h8 finals!

    You uys are all taking classes that give me a headache just trying to understand the class names, lol. I graduated 5 years ago with a degree in audio engineering and all my final consisted of was recording a band, mixing, editing, and burning the final to a disc.

    6th generation civics reliable?

    To the best of my knowledge, the civics are very reliable. As far as the srt4 goes I've hears they have issues with water pumps and head gaskets.

    2G door handles broken

    Just install some remote door poppers and call it a day....okay, maybe not.I'd go ahead and give those metal handles a try.Just install some remote door poppers and call it a day....okay, maybe not.I'd go ahead and give those metal handles a try.

    1g 7 bolt swap

    Thanks Brian, that was exactly the info I was looking for. As far ad the head being warped, its been to 4 different machine shops, milled flat each time. I will hopefully hear something back today from the shop and they are supposed to let me know when they get the head back and give me the...

    Crate engine

    Those motors are just sexy. If I had the money I'd buy one. The price is great considering Jasper wants $4500 for a remanufactured motor and Mitsubishi wants $2700 just for a short block.

    1g 7 bolt swap

    Yea but I'm pretty sure the block is cracked causing me to keep blowing head gaskets. The deal for the 7 bolt just can't be beat but I don't know too much on the 1g's.
  31. L0ckett

    1g 7 bolt swap

    Okay, after doing some more research, I've found a few people say that the 1g 7 bolts have higher compression and aren't very much suited for running more than 20 psi. Can anyone verify this or correct me? I'm still awaiting my head to come back from the machine shop to make a decision if I want...

    upgrade path help.

    +1 on maintenance. Also I didn't see anyone mention a wideband...might as well add that to your list.

    1g 7 bolt swap

    Okay so here's the deal. I've owned this car for the last 9 months and am on head gasket replacement number 4. The first time or two I could have contributed to poor install jobs but now this is just getting crazy. I'm really starting to believe that there is a crack in the block that the shops...

    1997 Eclipse Auto Trans into a 1999 Eclipse?

    Yes, as long as they are both from a GST then they will bolt up.
  35. L0ckett

    Ok so heck just broke lose I have no luck :(

    Did you do a BLT?Seriously though, Double check all of your hoses, clamps, make sure the drain plug on your radiator is tight and not leaking, look underneath and see if you can see where the oil may have come from. There may be a leak at the oil pan.

    Who's on MSN/Aim?

    The only reason I still have aim on my laptop is because of the integration with Facebook. What the hell though, I'll throw my name out there: OhNoItsLockett

    The Painful 1G/2G Thread

    Ouch, that brought a tear to my eye. Also, my car has a busted front bumper and is half falling off but that doesn't mean I'm a dumb teenage driver. It just means my car sat too low to clear a driveway and it bit me lol.

    coolant overflow pics needed

    Yea a friend had mentioned that it looked more like a catch can than an overflow. My catch can is what is mounted underneath my intake with the braided line going to the valve cover.

    coolant overflow pics needed

    Haha indeed it has. That's next to be replaced.
  41. L0ckett

    coolant overflow pics needed

    That is what my overflow looks like. As you can see, there is a 3rd line that I have no idea where it goes or its purpose. I was thinking that is the line to recirculate the coolant back into the motor but its too short to reach anywhere. Any help is appreciated and much needed!! Also sorry for...

    Well my car caught on fire tonight

    From how you make it sound, it really wasn't anything you did to cause the fire. I know how you feel though about dsms. I bought another one and am replacing head gasket number 4 in the 8 months I've owned the car. Hopefully everything works out for ya though. If you didn't live in tx I'd help...
  43. L0ckett

    Well my car caught on fire tonight

    That's what I would do. They gave me 48 hours to get as much as I could from my car and my work schedule didn't allow me much time to get everything out. I ended up leaving gauges, the motor, tein coilovers, and all the black leather interior. Moral of the story, GRAB AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!! haha.
  44. L0ckett

    Well my car caught on fire tonight

    When I totaled my gsx my insurance didn't care about the aftermarket parts since I told them about the parts beforehand. They ended up cutting me a check for more than I paid for the car and let me take off all the parts. Granted your case is a little different than mine, I hope you get as lucky...

    laptop mount

    When I had one in my car I just bought a cheap power inverter that plugged into the cigarette lighter and it worked fine.

    laptop mount

    I was thinking of putting a mount in mine too. I had one in one of my previous cars that worked pretty well. I will see if I can find it again for ya.

    how much boost on 16g

    Everyone's car runs differently even if the mods are the same. I was able to run up to 21 psi on an evo 3 16g, 550's, walbro 255, tuning through an s-afc neo and had no issues. Your tune is going to be a big factor as well.

    Fatal alert data logger

    I think we all saw some fast and furious reference coming. Does the car jerk or shutter when you go wot? Maybe hitting fuel cut and knocking the connection loose?

    is this guy serious?

    Man if that guy is asking 7 grand for that car then mine is horribly under priced, even with a blown head gasket lol
