I’ve recently installed the Ballenger AFR500 with the calibration grade sensor. The wideband seems to be very responsive and accurate when tuning WOT. The only weird thing I’ve run in to is the car likes to idle in the low 14 AFR area.I have recalibrated the NTK calibration sensor twice to...

Well here’s the scoop, I’ve always had a weird issue with the IAC not initially going below 68. If the car sits in a high idle range and the IAC is reading 68, it will begin to go lower but st a rate of 1 every few minutes of idling. It makes controlling the idle more difficult when the IAC only...

I’m done with praying my old innovate MTX-L is reading accurately so I’m looking in to new widebands. I’ve seen a few OGs mentioning the Ballenger Motorsports WB but not much else on them.https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/2337I would be looking at the NTK...

Does anyone know who was offering the service to weld on a thicker flange to the stock oil pan?I’ve been battling for years on keeping the pan from leaking and come to the point where I am willing to cave and buy the moroso pan. Not too long ago I came across someone welding on a thicker...

I installed a 625 MagnaFuel in-line pump along with my 535 walbro in-tank pump. The in-line 625 is activated by a Hobbs switch which activates around the 10-15psi range so it is off when the walbro is priming and running under 10psi. My feed line is -8an to the rail and -6an return.When my...

I’ve talked with many of you throughout the years (2009) and have been invested in the community since I’ve joined. I’ve joined the Facebook groups and other forums to keep up on all the DSM talks and mods but all I’ve done is realize the pool of DSMer’s have become muddied waters with the spoon...

I upgraded my fuel pump from a 450 to the 525, feed line to -6an and the return to the oem feed line. Ever since doing those upgrades I have to refill my tank at 1/2 and seems as though the drivers side is still full, which makes me believe the siphon is not working properly. The siphon is...

Ok please read as I have tested everything I can think of and I can’t seem to narrow down this problem. Here is the setup to start:6 bolt 2g head(oring) Car is on Speed Density 280 kelfords Magnus V4 IM/1G N/T TB 2150 FIC ARC-2 CDI with COP/swapped stock coil on same issue 9:1 Wiseco AutoThe...

Just want your guys opinion on this nitrous system if/when I decide to pull the trigger. I recently upgraded my setup from an Evo3 intake/kelford 264 cam/#8 PI converter to a Magnus V4/Kelford 280/#7 PI converter so I am feeling as though I will need a nitrous kit to get up on the converter...

I recently installed a Holley 100 psi sensor (554-102) and installed it to the Baro ECU input as it is the only open input I have open. Rear o2 is WB, MDP is Omni 4 bar(SD), using stock coolant temp and still using stock front o2.I did read on ECMLink that the Baro has a restrictor in the ECU...

Both are in great working order. Injectors were serviced by FIC and installed in the car. They have idle time on e85 which runs weekly so fuel does not sit in the injectors. I have an injector cleaning rig so they will be lubed up before shipping.FIC Easy Tune Box allows you to run larger...

For those that have been in the DSM game awhile, you know something ALWAYS happens right before a dyno session or race event. Well the past two week were no different for me.I had a dyno appointment with the new setup on September 5th. Everything was going well until we got above 35 psi and my...

This event is something I look forward to every year and each year we see the numbers dwindling down. Buschur added the GTR class to bring in more cars but there are a lot of other events that draw the GTR crowd away. I know DSMs are a dying breed but the event is amazing and is a great place...

I picked up Boostin Performance's billet housing and a Magnus billet bearing cover for Black Friday and wanted to know what people thought about running them with the stock sized shaft rather than upgrading to the 300m. I'm hesitant to upgrade to the 300m output shaft since I would then be...

I have searched through tons of threads and articles written about both and it seems to go back and forth. People say the dual springs are old tech but then I wonder why Boostin Performance uses dual springs in the Red Demon. Other shops use the beehives so I am starting to feel it is personal...

Found my timing off one tooth so I started to retime it. Got to the crank and the alignment plate was way off. Dug a little deeper and found the culprit. Anyone seen this before? Should I be ok with a new key, gear and plate with the crank in that condition?Enjoy:

I'm looking for a set(4) of the oe silver center caps with the retainer spring on each. They don't have to be perfect as they are for my drag rims.

I just got my 26x9.5x16 Hoosier QTPs and went to look at the GST rims I bought awhile back in preparation for this setup. I found one of the rims looks to have been damaged by a caliper bolt coming loose and causing the caliper to slide around the rim. (Can see what I mean by the pictures) It...

There are different threads out there regarding the different fluids but none seem to answer my questions.I have been using the Amsoil Signature Multi-Vehicle Synthetic oil but recently burnt up my forward clutch(Don't know if it's related). I have been looking in to the the Amsoil Supershift...

A little background on when my issue started. I went to the drag strip two weekends ago and while launching the car, I felt a lot of vibrations until I snapped the rear driver side axle. When the axle snapped, the rpms shot up to 9k acting like a slipping clutch.Now I bought some DSS level 2...

I never made a build thread for my car and am kind of regretting it now. I recently started an Instagram for the car "Eleanor_4G63" and will be posting about all future modifications, race days, car shows and other shenanigans. I would love to have DSM enthusiasts following that truly understand...

I am considering swapping my DSM 76HTA for a DSM 82HTA. I have been considering this for awhile and wondering if anyone running the 82HTA is wanting to change to the 76HTA. The turbo has 2,500 miles on it and always fed with the black FP inline filter and Klotz synthetic racing oil.The turbo...

I have read through the vacuum pump threads and none really go into detail on setup or how efficient they are. I was hoping to make a thread where anyone interested in setting up a vacuum pump could post here with questions or setups they have made.I am looking to make a setup where the pump...

Finally got to test the new setup and it was amazing! The track techs at BIR were not too happy about my accomplishments and I continued to get challenged on how big my turbo was(People were reporting that I had too large of a turbo to be in stock appearing class) but I had a great time. With a...

I have done many tests and checking and have not found anything that would cause this..My car runs great but when I rev the engine up and let off, there is a small vibration/knock right when it gets backs near idle. When the car is idling, you can hear a the slight tick from under the engine...

Well I have a couple questions regarding my converter so buckle up!First I want to ask about my converter rattling while out of the car. I tore my car apart because of a loud clunking/knocking sound coming from the bell housing. I narrowed it down to the converter bolts or the converter...

Anyone on here going to Proving Grounds this weekend? I have a group going up and just wondering if anyone is traveling to BIR in Brainerd to race!I am also looking for someone to tune my car since all shops around here have been booked up for awhile. Any locals have the skills to tune a...

After putting my car back together I noticed the Omni4bar sensor is stuck at -28.9 inHg and the car will not start. Everything is the same from when the car was running except this sensor. I have checked in link and the sensor is set up correctly.I ordered a new sensor and it reads the same...

Long story short the bolts backed out of my HKS cam gears and fell down the cover which got lodged between the belt and a gear. My belt skipped and my intake cam advanced which caused the valves to hit the piston. I removed the head and tested the head, the valves were not bent. Reinstalled the...

The only thread I was able to find about TheRetrofitSource.com is fairly old and no one really posted any feedback about the headlights after being purchased. I am completely familiar with the retrofit of the stock 2GB housing but modifying the headlight and figuring out a way to mount the...

Long story short I just finished my three year build and was turning the car over to prime it and found my OFH is cracked at the oil pressure sensor port. I bought this used and obviously the seller did not disclose this. I bought a new one from JNZ and waiting for it to arrive.Now to my...

Anyone know the exact wire designation for the NSS plug on a 2g auto? I will post a picture below of the picture and the wires. I am trying to mess with wiring up something in to my auto but need to know what all the wires are for inside the transmission. I guess I suck at reading diagrams as I...

This is an explanation of what you need and how to wire in an automatic transmission using a manual harness. If you have an automatic harness, you will have the plugs required so you can skip that step. This tutorial is after you obtain the parts for the auto swap and now all you have to do is...

Does anyone have a good write up about the Kiggly Mod and installing a rachet shifter in a 2G? I swapped my car over to an auto and am down to the wiring. I found a few write-ups for the 1G but hear the 2G's have different color wires which can make it interesting. This is the write up I found...

I have a custom manifold which turns out I need a 4mm gasket/spacer in order to get my runner to clear my head. I have looked in to a spacer but I don't want to go that route. So I am thinking about stacking gaskets in order to gain the clearance I need.The OEM 4 layer gaskets are .050"...

I want to shave my VC and get an American flag painted on it but don't want any trouble with flaking or fading. Does anyone know of a place that does great work to get this done? I looked through the supporting vendors but didn't find any that looked as they would do it.

I am putting EVO 9 rims on my Red 2g eclipse and want to have some fun with it. Since I can't make my mind up, I want tuners to decide. I have a few options plus whatever you guys come up with. WHATEVER COLOR TUNERS DECIDES ON, I WILL POWDERCOAT THEM THAT COLOR, unless this turns into a joke...

I recently swapped my cams from Graveyard 274's to the FP2's. I swapped because I was unhappy with drivability and lack of vacuum so no brakes. All I did was swap the cams and got it retuned at the same place and the same boost level. I did an overlay of the two pull so it would be easier to see...

I am in the market for some rims to put some DR on and have been looking into some 17x8 rims and came across these. I think the offset is 40mm and just don't want them to come close to my fenders when I am strapped down on the dyno like my 18x8's do. These rims worth it and would they be a good...

I recently got my car back together after a cam swap and I also swapped the dash. When I start the car it will rev up to about 3k and hover around a little for about 10 seconds, and then it will die. It will even do this if I ground the timing pin via ECMLink. The only code I pull p1300, which...

I swapped dashs with a 98 GS and am putting it into my 97 GSX. Everything looks good except the tweeter wiring seems to be different as you can tell from the picture. The tweeter itself is from my 97 GSX as it is the infinity speaker but the 98 black dash has a black wire and a black wire with a...

I have always loved the look of the black/tan interior and finally found someone parting out a 98 GS that is willing to sell the entire interior!!! The only thing I am down about is the drivers seat is in bad shape but I can't complain for the price. I got the entire black/tan interior for $50...

Ok I know that there is many thread that have to do with HID's in projectors but they are all about the cheap ebay projectors and how its better to retro fit them. I might get some APC projectors and was wondering if I needed to retrofit these too since they are not the cheap knock off ones...

I have been reading threads on cams all day and still cannot decide on which cam setup would be best for my setup. You can see my mods in my profile and want to rev it out to 9k and not have the cam fall off. I am currently running the Graveyard 274's but they just aren't as streetable as I want...

You can see my mods in my profile and I have searched all over for a similar problem.Whenever I let the rpms go below 2k and just lightly press the gas to maintain speed, the car jerks. If I give it a little more gas it goes away. I have replaced transmission, clutch, flywheel, rear end and...

Finally got her on the dyno and not one thing went wrong!!! My e85 was tested and it turned out to be e73. Would have made my goal of 500 awhp but the clutch was slipping since it is not broke in yet. :ohdamn: But in all I was very happy with the results!!! The dyno is a Dynamatic, Enjoy!!!480...

I am finally done with my build and just set up my dyno day at DBperformance in Roger,MN. I am going for 500-550 awhp and is still my DD. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous but I hope she doesn't blow up on me. I am bleeding the brakes and burping the power steering this weekend and she...

I read through the Wiki and threads to setup my SD. I can't seem to get it to idle right and my A/F is really rich. Even if I lower the deadtime, it seems to do slim to none. I had the dead time down to 200 and was still rich(~12). I have the SD bundle and cable from ecmlink and was wondering if...

Ok I have read the threads on how people are wiring up an intake pump along with an inline pump but it seems in every thread, people argue whether to use one or two relays. I have a walbro 255 in-tank and a Aeromotive tsunami in-line. I also bought the STM rewire kit so I will be running the...

When I was dropping my rear sub frame to install my new rear end, I broke the grade 10 bolt that holds the control arm to the U shaped bracket. I was forced to cut it the bolt on the sides to drop it and then tried to drill out the bolt that was seized inside the bushing which was a failure. So...
