  1. Rip

    RIP Dan Wheldon. You were one of the highest class and most well liked racers in the community. My best wishes go to his wife and two sons Sebastian and Oliver. If there is one thing I am happy for is that you died doing what you loved and that your family was able to be with you during your...
  2. Need help and suggestions

    If you have a rs then a gs catback will work just fine. And fwiw, we put a megan catback on my girlfriends old tsi and it was hands down the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard on a non-turbo dsm.
  3. intercooler setup with no turbo

    If you really want to do it just call it what it is, an interfooler. Maybe those 18 second hondas will get scared and back off lol.
  4. car feals "heavy" after letting of gas

    Have you checked you transmission fluid yet by chance?
  5. Busted motor mount!!!

    This is why I love this site, someone comes here with a problem on an Eagle Vision and people still try to help. Most other sites, if it's not a dsm then nobody gives a crap and just flames them for posting a non-dsm question. I don't know for sure about the Vision motor, but props to you guys...
  6. Lug nut help

    Why don't you just do the smart thing and replace all of your studs and then buy a complete set of lugnuts that you are not going to have issues with? Yes, you will pay a bit more for the lugnuts and spend more time replacing studs, but will it not be worth it every time you take off the wheels?
  7. Grand Junction.

    Damn it's been a while since I have read this sub forum lol. Anyways, nice to see some western sloper guys actually posting. My name is Jeff and live in Clifton. I have been here for a while and been into the dsm game for quite a few years. I think the guy with the roommates that monster was...
  8. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Why is everybody mentioning the fans? He said right away that it is on the highway that the overheating occurs, and at highway speeds the fans are of no issue anyways. I am betting on a thermostat that is not operating properly. However, depending on how long this has been happening, that...
  9. whats the one thing that really bugs you about your dsm?

    The fact that I haven't owned one for over 4 months now:cry:
  10. 2G 2gNT Possible 420a engine swaps

    And for 8k you could buy yourself a clean gsx/tsi awd, mod it, and have a "very potent" 4g63 that will take down a 420a any day. And then you can spend the extra money you saved on "CF goodies or expensive rims", if that's your style.OP, why do you have this thread about swaps and another...
  11. Tuning with E85

    Hey Will, it's Jeff from RCM, I think one of the main things with the heat range of plugs is location. After reading this entire thread, I have noticed that most users that are using colder plugs live in areas that are normally high heat and/or high humidity, not to mention, air that is much...
  12. Which would you pick of the 2?

    2500 is a great deal but a 99 is hard to come by. Its really up to you on what you wanna pay but honestly i would go for the 99 with really low miles and pay the extra price.
  13. Best upgrade you've done and why?

    Surprised nobody has said it yet but the driver mod would have to be my number one. Even with dsm link and a built motor and everything else you could want, without knowing how to drive the car, you wont see its full potential.
  14. A pillar gauge pods

    I think your best bet would be to check the classifieds. And, if nothing there, contact members that are parting out a 1g, and see if they might have what you are looking for. Good luck.
  15. 2g smoking..

    Okay that's what I thought. My buddies have a shop their dad has owned for over 25 years so I'm sure he has one I can use one of these weekends lol. I'll try the seals and if nothing, then replace the turbo. Thanks man.
  16. 2g smoking..

    That's exactly what train of thought I had on the whole thing as well. Maybe I'll just go the inexpensive route and get some valve seals and install them. They can be installed with the head on the block with our motors correct?
  17. 2g smoking..

    Not to thread jack or anything, but a compression wouldn't show leaking valve stems/guides, only valves not closing all the way, correct? So if a compression test came back ok, how would I know if it's valve seals/guides, or the turbo if the turbo doesn't have much shaftplay?
  18. 2g smoking..

    Definitely do a compression test. My g/f's talon is doing the identicle thing that you are talking about. Not losing any coolant and oil looks fine but when idling for a few minutes it smokes. I was under the impressions that maybe a valve guide/seal was leaking but if a new turbo helps you out...
  19. PSI question??

    ^I totally agree. There is absolutely no reason anyone should be recommending a fmic for 15 psi. Unless he is road racing his car(which I highly doubt on a t25 at 15 psi), the side mount is not going to heat soak quickly and a fmic is totally unnecessary.
  20. Should I stripe my talon Pics inside!

    Clean=DSM...Stripes=Muscle Cars. That's just my opinion though. If you like the way the stripes look and want to do it, then do it. Your car is your car and you shouldn't let what other people say affect the way you mod/paint it.
  21. Hks info

    I'm sure that most people working for HKS USA will get a very nice severance package from HKS due to the closure. And most of those people will probably have no problem getting another job in the industry. If I were the owner of a company like Prosport, AEM, etc., I would have no second thoughts...
  22. Hks info

    As I agree, it does suck that HKS USA will be no more, doesn't mean HKS itself is going under. They were, and always have been, a japanese performance parts developer/supplier. They will still serve U.S. customers, they will just do so from overseas. This is completely different than american...
  23. A/C removal add any power?

    You won't necessarily "gain" any power, but you will free up some power that you are currently losing from the parasitic loss of the a/c system.
  24. Cant get car dialed in

    Make sure you are resetting the fuel trims once you get everything dialed in properly.
  25. Turbo Whistles Under Load

    ^This. You gotta make sure you aren't losing any of the air in your ic, ic piping, or the crappy 2g bov(especially if you are running higher than stock boost levels).
  26. The Official "What's this DSM worth?" Thread

    I forgot this was in canada, sorry lol. If the upgraded turbo is one thing that he feels raises the value alot, it should be a turbo that would have costed well over 700 brand new. It really is up to you though. If you feel its worth it to YOU, then go for it and get yourself a nice, clean, low...
  27. The Official "What's this DSM worth?" Thread

    The only 1g i would ever consider paying over 5 grand for would be the fittipaldi talon. Other than that, you can find one that maybe isnt as good of condition for 1500-2000 and make it just as nice, if not better, with a couple grand of work. Thats just my opinion though.
  28. 2g spyder with 2ga rear/sides?

    +1000. My project this winter is a gs-t spyder with awd and talon conversions:hellyeah:
  29. dsms bringing couples together

    Same here. She loves the junkyard and i build my gsx and she builds her tsi awd.
  30. 420A Oil return location

    Alright thanks again guys.
  31. 420A Oil return location

    Alright, thanks guys. I'll let him know the best thing to do would be to move it higher. How much higher do you think? An inch or so? Or so the bead when he welds is almost touching the very top where it bends out?
  32. 420A Oil return location

    We were thinking that since there is no pressure coming from the oil in the pan then even a small amount of pressure, from the shaft pressuring the oil just a bit, would push the oil through even if the oil is covering part or most of the hole on the inside. Would that be correct or am I...
  33. 420A Oil return location

    My friend is doing a turbo conversion on his 420a and welded the oil pan for the oil return from the turbo towards the bottom of the oil pan. Someone brought up a point to him that it is too low and the oil is not going to drain because of the oil in the pan already stopping it. I don't see it...
  34. Lowering springs, now the rear is too low.

    I completely agree with Meat on this one. The previous owners had sportlines or something similair dropwise on the car. I went to pro kits with some kyb's and it was a night and day difference. The pro kit drop is perfect appearance wise and there was a bit of a noticable positive difference in...
  35. 1ga Headlight ram air mod

    As for the headlight cover, I don't know for sure how to do it, I never did. To seal the sides I used cardboard to make a template for the shape and size I needed, then I used the template over the main piece I cut out of the cover and cut the pieces I needed to ensure the mateial was the same...
  36. Which Turbo Should I Get [merged] What Turbo

    Which one are you talking about? the evo3 or the 20g? Because when I got my 14b, which would use the same feed and return lines as either of the above turbos, they were less than 40 shipped off of the forums. So that should not be an issue cost wise.EDIT: Sorry, I just looked at your profile...
  37. Which Turbo Should I Get [merged] What Turbo

    fp big t28 is 800ish iirc, evo3 is on sale for 500. Homemade install kit runs you 100 for the evo3. Therefore, evo3 with custom install kit is still 200 less and will flow more and have more potential. And btw, if you go with the fp 20g, you can find 16g turbine housings to swap to it all day on...
  38. upgrading exhaut

    :ohdamn:.............searchthat is all
  39. No Spark and its not the coil pack

    This. You cannot test the cps or cas with just a test light. You have to see what amount of voltage they are sending/receiving and also test for how much resistance the sensor has. Without testing properly you cannot rule those out.
  40. Drop Engineering Engine Mount Kit

    Just curious since these were in the last issue of Modified Mag, what was the last featured part for a dsm in a major auto mag?
  41. 1ga Headlight ram air mod

    I did the same mod on my first dsm which was a 90 gsx. Just use a dremel to cut out the rectangular section of the plastic. Then you can use plastic glue on the sides to seal them. And, if you prefer, you can put some steel mesh or something of the sort in front to protect the filter from...
  42. Which transmission should I get?

    That's what pm's are perfect for:thumb:
  43. what turbo is good for 400hp

    But as stated on their website, you can bolt up any 16g hotside to it and bam!, stock fitment with a 7cm housing:thumb:
  44. What did you do to your DSM today?

    Fixed ny girlfriends clutch master cylinder in her tsi awd since she was at work and couldnt do it.
  45. I so love my car in the snow!!

    F*ck snow. Yeah it's fun and all, but after spending the last 3 years in Phoenix and Las Vegas, I hate having it snow now that I'm back in Colorado.
  46. Grinding...

    One word, insurance. If you don't replace it now, it could be bad and you will wish you would have replaced it when you had the chance.
  47. super lean at part throttle

    Even if you have done things before and not really driven the car since, problems can still develop. Gunk on the throttle body may have accumulated. Vacuum hoses may have corroded and caused tiny boost leaks. Do all of the regular maintenance checks and everything and then, if the problem still...
  48. stm tank to rail kit

    The tank to rail kit includes a fuel lab filter already with all -an fittings so the banjo bolt wont be an issue. Honestly, with that kit being as complete as it is and you get a filter, i think it is completely worth what they sell them for. Once i have the money i am ordering their tank to...
  49. E85

    Honestly, munkey, you should probably be able to store it in a drum for a coupke months considering you live in phoenix and the humidity there is almost nothing so water in the fuel shouldnt be an issue. Damn i miss that warm dry weather lol.
  50. what is this front bumper?

    As far as i can remember, they reached the number they were going to produce and wont produce any more kits. And you wouldnt be able to get just the bumper, it was a complete package that actually increased downforce a significant amount and would run you around 4 grand if you wanted one.
