    95 cas in a 99 dsm

    I'm dropping a motor from a 95 gst into my 99 gsx and the issue I'm having it the fact that the Cas is on different sides of the head. Rewiring the 95 cas into my 99 harness won't have any negative downsides will it?

    Glowing red. [Merged 1-7] Exhaust, turbo, glow, hot

    Well I am not running a cat, there's a test pipe in place and my downpipe worked its way loose so I have a decent exhaust leak so a restriction is unlikely. I ordered a new Bosch sensor for my wideband like 3 weeks ago and still hasn't arrived. When it does I'll see if I'm running too rich

    On my 99 GSX.. I was driving down the highway going a steady 80MPH at night for about 20 minutes and after stopping I popped the hood to see my stock exhaust manifold glowing cherry red underneath the heat shield.I've read that this is normal, while others argue it isnt.. I do run pretty rich...

    Oil return line options

    What im gonna do is cut the metal return line near both ends about 2in, and slip a fuel and oil resistant line over the ends with some type of sealant and metal fasteners to keep it in place good.. Any objections? And when I remove the return line, do I need new gaskets or crush washers or...

    GSX runs hot with bumper on

    I only have one fan installed and whether its on or not, it should not run hot on the highway. I have a fmic and im sure that's the source of my problems. Underhood temps might be ridiculous too. Ill wrap the downpipe tomorrow and report back

    GSX runs hot with bumper on

    I've had issues h my car running hot all the time anywhere from 212f to 224f, hotter on the highway especially during the day. And I can't even use the a/c then the temps will shoot up. I solved the issue by removing my front bumper, and the car stayed near 185c to 190c maybe a tad higher on the...

    This sounds similar to my problem. I have a fmic but I know I have decent airflow because my intercooler will suck a piece of paper to it when my fan is on.

    Go to a credit union bank, and talk to the branch manager directly face to face about a loan. Tell him/her how you will pay off said loan, and make sure you bring proof that you can. If you still get denied then idk man.

    Bulkhead fitting to fuel pump

    I need something that's 8an to barb or tube adapter.. The tube adapters I see all say 50PSI max, and all of them are aluminum. (I want it welded).. And the barb ones look too long (2G AWD tank). I want to connect the fuel pump to bulkhead via fuel hose, I keep blowing the seal. Suggestions?

    Fuel left for more than a year, oxidation will set in.. This causes guming up, and will clog all kinds of cap once ran. But even worse, fuel is refined... Volatility and the fuels ability to combust are degraded. This is especially bad for our turbo charged cars. Don't take the risk...When I...

    Yeah I've replaced all fluids with redline (transmission, transfer case, diff). And the car has 77k with a rebuilt motor/trans with about 20k. The transmission doesn't grind so I can't see the synchros being worn.
