The car that had a 14b with 7cm housing was not my car but rather a vehicle I tuned. The car was BONE stock other than a 3" exhaust and tune. Still had the sidemount. Admittedly I know nothing about the turbo before I got my hands on the car other than the owner reporting a 7cm, which I...

I don't remember where I read it now, but apparently FP found a significant performance loss from clipping a TD05, primarily because the boost dynamic was altered without providing much improvement in flow. I have thought about clipping the stock wheel and dropping it in a 7cm, but the bigger...

Negative, not a compound turbo. I'll discuss my setup more once I get some results from it. I don't want to look like an idiot if it totally fails ;)There are two factors that determine the point where a typical turbine wheel will capture enough energy to generate a positive energy return...

I'm shooting for 55lbs of air volume through the turbine, but something I may not have mentioned before is I intend to run a large external gate off the manifold to help bypass some of that air volume. To answer your question it was pushing a TON of hot air, but considering my fuel and a very...

I apologize for my previous post, it seems like a technical glitch cut off half my comment :(. I'll edit to reflect my initial interests.That's what I was referring to with not being concerned about whether the compressor side matches the turbine side since the primary engine output wont be...

I'm not sure if this is a dead topic but I'm hoping someone can comment about a similar turbine combination discussed previously in this thread that I have been considering. I have a unique setup I want to try but because of budgetary constraints I don't have the freedom to experiment with some...

This thread is on the older side, but since my search for the same answer came up short I have decided to comment on what my personal findings were for this topic. Is the N/T fuel pump the same as the Turbo fuel pump with respect to its dynamic flow characteristics? While this seems like a...

Thanks for the info...but what in my post was wrong? Is the Foreign Muscle website still active? Do I have any other way of contacting Dave? Would those two issues be plausible reasons not to get a TCU chip burned from said tuner? ;)That'd be a great topic for an in depth tech discussion...

Here's a reason, how about when the Foreign Muscle website is gone and one has no other way of contacting Dave for a TCU chip.I searched for any recent posts about this topic and have the same question as the OP (yes I know the post is older but it's current enough to be relevant IMHO), so...

I don't have any pics of what you need but that's irrelevant. Autozone is about the most useless place to get parts with the level of (in)expertise of their employees, especially for our cars. There are definitely two different part numbers for auto and manual, if they don't list two then you...

The solution depends on your personal tastes, but for me, I would get the mount that was designed for the intended application. Or if you are a decent fabricator and you take careful measurements you can drill a hole in the bracket a higher up effectively lowering it against the transmission...

Done a few auto/manual and manual/auto swaps with different chassis. In your case kmaster the auto trans mount (not trans mount bracket as previously mentioned) is "shorter" than the manual chassis trans mount. In other words the auto mount locates the tranny higher in the chassis and the manual...

I tried to leave the radiator cap open to let it purge and watch the flow through the radiator but it would just surge and overflow repeatedly until I lost a couple quarts of water. At that point I had to put the cap back on. That then created an air bubble that I have now purged. So at this...

Thanks for the responses guys! I also replaced the radiator cap...twice thinking it wasnt letting the system get to an optimum pressure. My new cap is 1.1 BAR since replacing it twice I know that isnt the problem at this point. I did burp the system but admittedly not thuroughly. That's...

Here's the scenario. I go to my car in the morning and start it up, everything is normal so I drive to work. In about 5 minutes the car begins to run hot. When it hits 220* I pull over shut the car off and pop the hood. I notice the fan isnt on so I grab the top hose and it's cold. I grab the...

Important question, will the HX35 Turbine wheel fit in this housing? I never said I was planning on using it on my DSM :D

The H1C housing looks VERY similar but isnt exactly identical from the photos I've seen. The H1C has a large square pad between where the inlet flange and the volute begins where on my housing it's missing. I dont know what that means exactly, whether mine is a different casting of an H1C or if...

I'm a property manager for foreclosed homes and while I was cleaning out a farm house I found this Holset HX35W turbo in pieces on a bench. I knew enough about Holsets to know what it was and decided to keep it despite the fact it's missing the turbine and compressor wheels, and that it's origin...

I've reused mine twice so far without issues (when I had repair the broken stud). the bump outs are definitely flatter after one install but are still visible and it still seals fine. I'm going to reuse it as many times as possible just to see where the limit is.

I would check these out guys out as they have a proven racing reputation and only sell very well designed, high quality parts. I've got the mani-gasket and even with a stripped stud on the head it doesnt leak at all. Really pleased with it. This link will take you directly to their gasket page...

If you want the car to run properly, especially if you plan any mods for it, then you should definitely fix the low voltage issue. I dont know which wire it is off the top of my head but you really should have a Factory Service Manual if you plan on owning a DSM. The Frequently Answered...

It wasnt the ECU that clicked but rather the MPI relay located next to the ECU that you heard before the car would die. This is usually a sign of some hardware issue with the ECU although other problems can also result in those symptoms.If you tested at the connector it seems you have...

No he's talking about when the car is started or attempted to start the check engine light stays illuminated for a few seconds. If this isnt occurring than there's something wrong with the ECU.As you stated you are getting fuel pressure, but that doesnt mean it's being delivered to the...

The issue depends on where you measured the voltage but it sounds like you are experiencing some resistance in the circuit somewhere. I need to know how you tested the CAS before I can further advise you. My guess would be one of the connectors isnt making full contact or the wire is/was...

I've owned more than a few DSMs and the oil pressure gauges have always been consistent...useless, but consistent. If it doesnt read 1/8th of the way from the bottom at idle (w/balance shafts) and at the halfway mark during cruise, then it's not functioning correctly either because of the...

No fuel cut feels like you just pulled a chute and slammed the brakes at the same time, then instantly back to normal. You really need to pull your codes since you're fortunate enough to have them to point you in the right direction. If you cant find it I'll look for a pic and post it up for you.

If I'm understanding your description, the gauge was suddenly reading high then normal than high while you were driving. If this is accurate I suspect the gauge is shorting or losing contact, which would have nothing to do with the car's ability to start or run. You didnt mention if the gauge...

So I tested the coils and even the resistance in the coil wiring and found everything to be perfect. I tested the Transistor/CAS/ECT and everything was in spec but the car still just wouldnt start. I was staring at the engine bay imagining pouring napalm all over it when I noticed the connector...

I did try another transistor but there's a chance that one is also not 100% b/c I pulled it from a junkyard and need to test it. Right now I'm waiting for a replacment coil and ECT to arrive then I'll go from there.I was suspicious of the fuel filter (cause its a few years old) which is why...

There arent any codes at the moment. I wish I was that lucky cause then I could focus on the error instead of doing all this guess work.

Your injectors require seals from FIC ONLY. Nothing else will work unless they were designed for the exact injectors you have. Install the seal kit FIC sent you and let us know. I'm pretty sure that will solve your problem. Also dont machine the fuel rail it should be necessary to fix the issue...

^^^WTFYou mentioned you purchased the springs from a different retailer, were they authorized Tein dealers? I know you were experiencing the issue with the stock springs, but I'm just curious. There's a lot of shady things non authorized dealers can do such as use knock offs, or even...

God I only hope so, and I keep thinking it's just a vacuum line or something stupid, but I didnt touch anything else on the car initially. In double and triple checking all the wires/hoses/line I did notice one of the bolts for my CAS backed off, but the other bolt was still tight and it didnt...

Ran like a F---ing champ:coy:Didnt touch anything else on the car. Woe is me.

Negative. I would have posted a log if i did:sosad:

A bad dampner can affect static ride height because there's initial bind designed into the angle relative to the chassis, especially with softer springs. But it wont account for more than a half inch or so difference. I would swap the driverside assembly with the passenger side just to rule it...

Very possible because I tried a spare whose condition hasnt necessarily been verified, although it did run on the car I pulled it from. But I think if the ignitor/transistor has failed it would have any spark, not 100% on that. Need to hear from a guru as I've already moved through the usual...

I actually already replaced one coil with no change but I need to get my hands on another coil to test. Anyone in the Boise area have an extra coilpack I could borrow?:)

So here's an update. I fogged the manifold with some starting fluid and there was no change, its still just turning over without any signs of life. This should prove it's ignition related although I'm still a little concerned with how much raw fuel was on the spark plugs so I'm also suspicious...

I purchased the ECU from Steve so the caps were replaced and I know the ECU is good, although that was my initial culprit. As far as plugs go I guess I forgot to mention I replaced those with the plug wires.As far as the coils go I figured if they are both bad then replacing one would have...

So my turbo drain line has been leaking a bit for a couple weeks and I finally decided to replace it with a braided steel setup. After completing the install i went to start the car to check for leaks and it spontaneously wont run. Car turns over strong but doesnt show any signs of life. Spent...

Its a little unclear from your response, are you saying you removed the egr and just left the ports open? If so you definitely need to block that off or it will dump the exhaust gas into the engine bay. +1 for base timing or i'm also thinking head gasket, do a leak down test.

Sorry its been so long since I've responded, the internet has been out at my house the last two days!!! I've barely survived:) I've been testing from the turbo because my leak tester is too big to fit the throttle body elbow, it's working fine at the moment though. Yeah I lubed the insulators...

OK so I replaced the intake manifold gasket and it definitely helped as coincidentally the gasket was broken right below the #3 injector. Its holding about 8psi now of the 18 the boost controller is set for, but the injector isolator is still leaking badly on the #3 injector. Any more ideas...

Since you're new I'll cut you some slack, but to demand and EXPECT an expedient reply on a free message board is completely inappropriate. No one has to reply at all it's our choice to try and help. Just want to make sure you know how to interact with us on this forum more effectively so you can...

There are many reasons to eliminate them and no reasons that I've qualified to keep them. But really everyone has on opinion and the debate is probably 50/50. OE does a lot of things on these cars for "a reason" doesnt mean it's a good one. The reason DSMs are notoriously finicky and unreliable...

1) You can cap it off, but with the high radiant heat in the engine bay it's likely to crack and leak so you'll have to inspect/replace it often.2) I removed my waterpipe and welded the outlets shut which was difficult because the nipples are brass brazzed to a steel pipe. Dont have any pics...

Your 95 uses a Cam angle sensor while the 97 switched to the Crank position sensor and the ecus are different. Not compatible.

WTF are you talking about?! Is this some copy paste response to get your posts up or something OMG This has nothing to do with my issue.

It's a CAMCOVER and it's not particular about what kind of metal it was installed on, just the surface condition, and temperature it's exposed to. Camcover sees a TON of heat and only engine enamel would be appropriate for that location (or powdercoat)
