I’ve bled down my lifters for years using various solvents, oils, ultrasonic cleaner, etc. Went to install a set of new gsc lifters today and noticed that their install sheet said something quite the opposite of the standard procedure I’ve used for 10+ years now...
Well I’m not, but I just finished up my sim rig and figured I’d post it for anyone who is into sim racing. I’d be happy to share design, materials, cost, my experience with various parts( though it’s not much so far). I got really into formula 1 this year with the Netflix release and started...
This is just an informative post in the event anyone else is ever in a similar scenario to the one I am currently in. QTP has "data sheets" or drawings with some dimensions on their website. One dimension they do not include is the bore or opening diameter as seen below.I purchased a 3.5"...
Not sure how many electrical gurus are left around the forums but I figured I would post up for advice. I've spent north of 100 hrs planning out a mil spec wiring harness for my car and I have finally obtained everything needed to start. The harness will be concentrically twisted with shielded...
I understand not many people in the dsm community are in the market for a $1,200 fuel pump but I figured I'd see if anyone has anything interesting to trade. A guy local to me had this pump and made, literally, a few passes on it. He said he was having trouble with his fuel system and sent it...
We have very little data floating around about these two manifolds. Does anyone have any recent dyno graphs or general input they would like to contribute about either of these manifolds? I’ve seen all the initial flow bench data on the JMF so no need to link it, but I’ve heard very little...
Hey everyone, I am making this post solely to see if there would be any interest in a group buy for ceramic wheel bearings for FRONT 2G hubs only (with the possibility of rears following shortly after). I am not a supporting vendor on the site yet so we cant discuss pricing or details...
Does anyone have an OEM wheel bearing laying around they can inspect for part numbers? I only have access to aftermarket bearings which appear to be ntn hub111’s.
Does anyone know of any bearing manufacturers that sell thicker bearings? I had my crank polished and mains line honed and my main clearances are coming out to .0032 - .0035 with standard bearings measured with a bore gauge.I am really not sure how this is happening cause my crank is coming...
As the title states I’m looking for someone with a 5 axis program for 2g heads. I’ve tried fox lake, m2 race systems, English racing, Boostin, Jackson auto machine, basically all of the typical vendors here. Magnus claims they do but I’m sure it’s for a 1g head and it’s also 3500 dollars with...
Looking for anyone who has ever cut a slot in a seat and added a sub belt slot like this:https://lmr.com/item/CS-SUBMARINE/Submarine-Belt-Opening-Upcharge-Per-SeatI am looking at a set of seats for the street and the most street friendly seats I can find that allow enough clearance for my...
I finally broke down and bought all the PROPER tools to blueprint an engine which led me to recording some measurements in excel. Long story short I kept adding measurements and basic formulas till I realized I pretty much had everything needed for a basic bottom end rebuild. Being a firm...
I saw today where Magnus is teasing a new billet front section for our transfer case which I am thrilled about but has brought me to wonder if anyone has discovered an alternative aside from an auto or dogbox to our 3rd and 4th gears. We now have bulletproof everything except transmissions...
I'm at the point in my build where its time to get a cage and i've got some questions for any experienced cage builders/people who have taken the time to actually study current rules. Can anyone clarify the differences in a cage built for nhra and one for time trials? The reason I am asking is...
Rebuilt 1 year/1000 miles ago. Consists of 2 calipers and brackets, random new pads from rock auto, and 2 "vented" style rotors. Pulled in favor of brembos. Price is best offer. These were actually quite hard to come by about 2 years ago and I just want them gone really as I have no use for...
Very basic question. Machine shop just called and asked me for a gasket to use with my torque plate. I'm going to be using a felpro mls on this engine but I'm not terribly confident I feel comfortable reusing the gasket after being torqued down for machine work. I have a cometic mls at home...
I know there's a lot of information on the site about ctsv front brakes but I cant seem to find anything about the rears. Does anyone know if they'll bolt straight up, what the ear spacing is, what size rotors will fit, etc? You can pick the front calipers up on amazon for about 120 a piece...
I've read every spring rate thread on the site and I'm still indecisive. Ive spoken personally with a few members on here, all of which say the polar opposite of one another, on their choices and still can't decide so I'm hoping I am sort it out here.I'm getting a set of feal coilovers for my...
I just got some 235 nankang ns2-r's mounted on my 18x8.5, +46 gram lights. I expected it would require spacers, which it does, however due to the fact that the nankangs run about 10% wider than their advertised size, this has become a bit of a hassle.This is the clearance I've got with 7mm...
Those not interested in having their time wasted can skip to the bold part of the thread.
I recently pulled my wheels off to do some light suspension work to find this.
So new tires are in order. Because I am in my senior year of college i'm fairly broke right now so the budget is pretty...
I rarely post anymore due to the outrageous amount of topics that have been covered on the forum but this one has me in a bind. I recently picked up a set of venom cam gears and Kiggly beehives for a good price. I degreed my cams and installed the springs and other head components after a good...
Hey guys, im normally not one to get on here and ask questions as i'm aware that nearly every topic imaginable has been covered, but im stumped on this one. I recetly installed a used but in good condition qm twin disk and its making some very harsh noises when the clutch pedal is pushed in...
Ive been having trouble with missfires above 6k rpm lately. It feels like spark blowout so as of now thats what im assuming it is. So far i've dropped my gap down to .017 with a decent gap tool (not disk type), i've checked my coil pack and the resistance was within spec and I really dont know...
Ok ive read all the threads about driving with a blown turbo but im afraid i dont really have a choice in my current situation. I dont have the money to have my car towed and replace the turbo on my dd and i dont have access to a trailor. My turbo went out today about 10 miles from my house...
I just got done doing a bse and timing job last night and i went out to crank my car up this morning and test everything and it ran for about 45 seconds at 100 psi oil pressure. I reved it a little bit to see if my gauge was working and the needle wouldnt move so i turned the car off and...
Ok so I got my timing kit in from extreme psi a few days ago and I just inspected the oem timing belt to find this...And this...Has anyone else noticed threads showing on parts of an oem belt or this kind of discoloration? Should I be concerned? Thanks for the input.Edit: Tried...
Im planning on doing a timing job on my car this weekend seeing as ive put 20k on the one that came in the car and god knows what the previous owner did. I know it would be way more convenient to do it now while im doing timing but in all honesty i cant afford it. I really need to do my timing...
Ok ive searched this and its a fairly unique question. A while back i hit a curb and ever since my car goes wub wub wub at 40+ mph. Ive taken literally every single suspension part out and inspected it and the ONLY issue i could find was a slight bit of slack in the wheel bearing.Since...
Ok before this gets relocated to the curb hitting thread, ive gone through several pages of it. Last night i side swiped a curb. I was being a kid and doing a burnout and my car drifted sideways into a curb going between 5 and 10 mph. So i drove home and ripped the wheel off today. I assumed...
Well my problem for the day is my car just started going insanely lean at wot. I went into boost and it spooled WAYYY earlier than it should and my afrs begin to drop, get in the 12s and then go so lean my wb wont read it. So i popped the hood and noticed my fuel pressure was around 30 psi...
Ok so i got my head off yesterday and im getting ready to reinstall it. Im putting a felpro head gasket and some arp's in. I have a few things im confused about however.1. I planned to remove the remains of the old head gasket using carb cleaner and a plastic scraper but then it crossed...
Ok before you go throwing the search reply at me i have. None of the threads on here really specify what kind or how much header wrap is needed to do a manifold. I have a fp mani and i will be replacing my turbo soon so i figured while i was at it i would go ahead and wrap my manifold so my...
I'm sorry if this has been answered already. I've searched several threads and everyone says that when you get a mls head gasket you have to have your head resurfaced to ensure a good seal. Since I'm going to be installing an evo 3 16g soon I figured while I was at it I would install a new...
Ok i searched and diddnt really find anything... Sometimes (normally in the morning) my car will simply free rev when boost kicks in. I guess my best description would be that it feels like the clutch is slipping without the smell. It does it in all gears and only at 75%+ throttle. My afr's...
Hey everyone i finally got some down time from work and school this summer and got my newest dsm in paint.. I dont have any decent pics of it yet and with it being 110 degrees outside it hasnt been buffed so forgive me. However the story behind this one is..I totaled my last dsm (As can be...
Im talking to a guy about an evo 3 16g right now and his pics have no serial numbers. He said the previous owner shaved them off when he coated it. So my question is how can you tell if its a mhi e3 without the serial number?
OK dont rag on me for this, i was merely experimenting.. I am interested in running sd and i know theres already tons of threads about it but i have some unusual questions about it. I have dsmlink v3 set to log my boost via my avcr 4 bar boost sensor ( basically a map sensor). I just set it...
Hey everyone, I was just wondering what your best time was before fuel cut restricted you. I'm still new to the dragstrip world but I've been running the past few weekends and as I add mods it's just like I hit fuel cut with less and less boost. I'm fairly sure that I'm basically maxed out...
Talon Turbo Downpipe 89-94 Eclipse + O2 Elbow Housing | eBayJust wondering if anyone is running one of these.. I apologize if this seems like a short and selfish post, but my phone goes crazy and types on it's own...
Ok i recently installed some tokico illuminas and springs dropping my car 1.75 inches. Since i did, when i make right turns my car vibrates really hard and loud and under wot my car shakes really bad. I think my cv joint may be bad in the front right but after reading several threads i cant...
Ok i just installed a set of tokico illuminas with the matched springs and i took the car for a spin, immediately i noticed that when going into boost the car vibrates harder and when i make hard right turns it vibrates like i have loose lug nuts. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Could...
Well my cars system was having alternator whine so i re-ran all the rca's and its still going on, so i checked the ground which was under the rear seat and low and behold they had a screw driven through the floor and apparently into the gas tank because when i backed it out pressure came up...
OK, i have a 6 bolt swap and when i bought the car the ignition coil was zip tied down, so i relocated it above the side motor mount. Now my plug wires wont reach without running them directly over the top of my timing cover. I really need new wires anyway being as im not sure what brand i...
Ok i am flipping out right now. i just dropped my oil pan and i took a break while i was waiting for it to dry and like a dumbass i walked out and thought ill move my car and clean up all the mess under it. Regardless, i feel like a complete dubass and im scared to death, im not starting this...
Ok I know the suspension threads have ALL been beaten to death and i can assure you, i have read many. The problem is that everytime i read one a wiseman chimes in and writes 3 paragraphs of technical jibborish lol. I Just want simple suggestions with a short pros/cons list , not to sound...
When i bought my 2g gsx it came with what i believe to be a 6 bolt jdm swap. Regardless, several things were just zip tied to other things and whatnot, so im relocating everything. Im putting the entire power transistor harness behind the intake manifold and im going to be extending the tps...
I know this has been covered a thousand times but after reading 20+ threads on the matter noone seems to have the same situation as me. I bought a car recently and it came with a glow shift 30-0-30 gauge in it and when the car is off it reads 0. Once i crank the car it reads inbetween 18-22...
Ok i know not many of you keep up with my life or anything but today i bought my first turbo dsm/car. I also had the privledge of doing my first awd launch today and wow. However, the car does have some problems... It has idle surge, the gas pedal is verrry hard to push down, and the clutch...
Hey everyone, as the title states ive come across a car thats fully built and makes about 400 hp on one tune which will be the one i run. The car actually went 11.3@128 on an e85 tune but the guy said the transmission gave out at that level and he made a 93 tune that puts down around 400 hp...
Well today i was supposed to take a 5 hour trip to get my first gsx. Ive wanted one since i was a kid and after totaling my car i finally had enough money. Well i posted an ad on craigslist that i was looking for one and a guy responded and told me about his and everything. He claimed he had...
