Hi guys. Do you know of any good shops in Michigan or the Jackson, MI area? I have a P0202 (Injector #2 Circuit Malfunction) and P0300 (Random Misfire) on my 99 GSX and am looking for someone knowledgeable/experienced to take a look at it for this and possibly any other future issues that I...

I looked at those and I agree they are sick. Think I will need a few grand into mods before I can support those though.Think I am leaning toward the E316G at this point. Is the 34mm flapper holding up well vs. creep or has the o2 dumps and external wg's become more popular these days? I...

I was looking at the 50 trims, but couldn't find definitive information on if they would flow more at stock boost levels than what this auto's stock injectors could handle. I do have an AFPR so I could increase fuel pressure to compensate for a bit if necessary.Guess my main concern is I'm...

Yeah man, 16G sounds better in that regard. With me trying to make due on the stock auto trans for now, I'm trying to keep from it being a complete dog off the line.Awesome.Makes perfect sense! I have been reading DSMLink is great even if you are running 650+ when you don't need it...

Hey guys, LTNS. I've been away for a couple years but still got my DSMs. No idea how but they still run too ROFL Anyway I was thinking of doing some supporting mods for my '91 this summer (DSMLink and injectors mainly) and just keep kicking it with the 14b but then things kinda blew up.I...

That's the plan. More for my personal enjoyment, memoirs from my "childhood" to grow old with me and give me a nondestructive way to spend my time. The '91 is lightly modded with 125k on the clock and saw 12 years of Michigan weather before I rescued it from imminent doom. '97 is bone stock...

Check out vfaq.com, under Drivetrain. Should answer most of your questions.

Possibly a corroded fog or headlight connector could be causing the problem if they are all tied in together. I would pull all the connections and clean them up. If not that, maybe the switch? All you can do is hook up a voltmeter or a test light/logic probe and trace backwards to find the...

I knew a Subaru guy who would run custom maps on his ECU for fuel economy during the week. Might be something to play around with if you go for a car that has aftermarket support for reprogramming the ECU. I'd think about an Impreza RS, 240SX, Honda, or VW, then get an ECU/tuning package and...

Been a member since 1-7-03. Not an avid poster, but avid reader nonetheless.

Not sure on the size, but Slowboy gives the dealer part numbers for their kit.http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=3754&

That's the first I've heard about TCUGO. Sounds like an interesting product I will need to keep my eye on.

Thanks for the reply. I guess now I have a reason to buy an E316G:cool: Only problem I don't think I can swing it for a while, I will be tapped out once I finish ordering all the supporting mods I need to complete stage 1 and be ready for stage 2 unless I skip the FMIC. I guess it's not too...

Thanks for looking. I've been reading on the forums all week and haven't found an answer. With DSMers being known as some of the most broke and thus inventive enthusiasts around, I was hoping you guys would know of a hack I could use to fix this in the spirit of the Home Depot tradition ROFL...

Sounds like a good engine, ripe for modding. So I take it you're going to run the Cyclone?Edit: Hey I took a look at your gallery. Looks like you've got 4 DSMs?

This might help also. Since Taboo's website got sucked into a black hole, I hope they don't mind if I post this.

Don't forget about bracket racing too. If you just want to have some weekend fun and don't have huge goals, you can lightly mod your GS and still enjoy the sport. That auto will help keep you consistent too.

When I was in bad need of a valve job at 160K, my Mobil 1 10W-30 burned white/grey whenever I left from a light or started it up in the morning. With this happening at WOT I would be more inclined to think it was turbo or headgasket. I would check the shaft play on the turbo, and then check...

Check out this link. It's pretty much the same thing, just vice-versa.http://members.shaw.ca/costall/1000Q/answers-conversions.htm#nonpopupheadlights

Hey man, I found a couple things. Hope these can help you out. Per the writeup by femmeDSM "If your injector's aren't firing, try swapping out your Injector Resistor Pack with a known good unit. These don't usually go bad, but when they do, they'll keep the injectors from firing. The ECU may...

Thanks, will do. When I mentioned DSMLink, I meant since it loads the manual code, I was planning to set it for the manual PSI :cool: I'll make sure she's warmed up and set the PSI to 38 as suggested:thumb:

Nevermind, I've decided to get DSMLink which will just load the manual code in there anyway:thumb:

Thanks guys, that's definitely what I needed to hear. I think I'll go for DSMLink now and add the MAFT later on. I checked out their site and it looks pretty straightforward to tune with the Link.

Man that was cool. Almost enough to sell me one, but not quite ROFL

If you've got an auto DSM, please tell us about it. If you've hit the dyno or ran the 1/4, please post the numbers or share any power tips you have. What are your goals, current mods, future mod plans, etc? Since it's a chore to run through all the posts looking for autos, their mods, and...

I have read that the AFPR should be set to 37PSI. I've also read that 1G autos run 43PSI stock. My question is when I setup my AFPR on my auto 1G should I set it to 37PSI or 43PSI? I read in the forums but have not found any clarification on this.Thanks in advance.

I'm considering a MAFTPro in speed density mode or a MAF-T in blow-thru to tune my 1G automatic. I have what I consider realistic, reliable goals of 300awhp over the next couple years, and believe either would be sufficient. Anyway I have read about using the compensation features of these...

Jongreene, did you ever find the fix for this? I noticed mine doing this last fall before I parked it for the winter. It sounds like our setups are about the same, as far as the Walbro and test pipe. I do have an AFPR on order, which I hope will address this issue and which I will need anyway...

Definitely a cakewalk. I had no problems using flares to remove the fitting that everyone else seems to have problems with, but did break a couple studs holding the gasket on the tank on my '91 last summer. Might want to soak the fittings and gasket studs down with some PB or equivalent before...

I was going to say your idling issue sounded just like a MAS problem I had on my 1G. I had disconnected the MAS for some reason and forgot to hook it back up :nono: Car wouldn't start unless I kept my foot on the gas for a few seconds, and then it was dumping fuel pretty much the whole time...

What's your boost gauge reading under high load, high RPMs? Does your idle RPMs jump around a lot? If boost gauge is reading low, or the RPMs are hunting rapidly, it's probably a boost leak. I've heard that if you sit parked and hold the RPMs at 1500 and it starts jumping all over, it's a...

Nice find. Looks just like my 2G. Good luck with the car:thumb:

It's 60x40, with 12' walls. I was going to run 16' walls but I've seen similar setups running lifts with no problem, so I saved some cash there since I don't plan to wrench on semi trucks any time soon :). I have the 10x10 doors staggered so I have 8 bays on the ends and 2-4 parking spots in...

There is a guy in town with an RV that the city keeps harrassing. He's offered $100/wk until spring to just park it behind that place. Since I have no running water or facilities there I think I have found a way to get past that problem :)I have yet to meet but a couple hardcore DSMers...

Thanks man. I wasn't going to get into it, but I'll go ahead and explain why I did it. FWIW I lost someone very near and dear to me who was also a car buff. She always dreamed of having a place in the country. She left behind some cars that were really like kids to her, you know. I'm...

You have no idea how often I've considered re-badging it in a different color...but it's kinda grew on me over time. At least it's not all purple :p

I must say that looks pretty good wingless. What are your plans for it?

So, my DSMs finally got a new home. I thought I'd share the pics with you guys. The place isn't finished yet, but it's as done as I'm going to get it before winter hits. It's out in the country where the city I live/work in won't be on my back anymore. They're going to have to share it...

I want one too. I love GVR4s. Nice pics, and nice car :thumb:

Man, I had no idea. Whenever I look at it, it reminds me of the knife from that old-ass movie "Cobra" with Sylverster Stallone. One of the baddies in that movie had a knife like that. The knife didn't have a name on the box (besides Made in Pakistan ROFL ) so that's what I wound up calling it.

A bad o2 won't always throw a code. Happened to me. My A/F gauge would only work part of the time. It was wired up fine so I got a new o2 and that fixed my problem.For yours to just be blowing black smoke like that, it sounds like it would be something else or a combination of things...

Here's some of my stuff.First pic is my G17 with a few #32 clips and some #17s.Second pic is my "Cobra" knife.Third one is my "Termite"Fourth is my clubFifth is some of the stuff I have laying around. My old bow, a couple 12ga's, a 20ga, a bb gun or two, my hammer, my...

Very nice DSM. Good luck with your project. I enjoyed browsing your site and have bookmarked it so I can check out your progress in the future. :talon:

With AWD you will have better all season handling and will be faster out of the hole, especially when you are making more power. With FWD you will be slower out of the hole but faster once your tires hook up, and when cruising on the highways. Both configurations stock run about the same in...

I took my '97 Talon TSi AWD to the local Chrysler the day I got it and asked for the recall to be done the week after I got it. Picked it up the same day after work with new parts installed.

The week of the 4th I was sitting in the left-hand turn lane, stuck at a red light. Across from me in the oncoming right lane was an older lady in a Ford SUV. She was just sitting there with no blinker and made no attempt to take a right turn on red, so when I got my green arrow I didn't think...

We're keeping all 3 forever. :talon: :talon: :talon:Actually, we will work on getting 4 more once our garage mahal is built this summer!! I really want a black on black '98 TSi and '99 GST Spyder, and a couple more 1Gs, maybe a 6/4 Eclipse and an AWD Laser, so we can set one up for road...

I removed the charcoal can and my car ran like crap once it hit less than 1/2 tank. It would miss all the time and acted like it was suffering from fuel starvation. It once got to a point where it would barely idle. I put in a 255 Walbro thinking my fuel pump was dying and it still did it...

I second that. Makes me want a black 1G.
