Hey everyone. I’ve been having a problem for awhile now. So I swapped my motor after it being down for a year with no motor in the bay.Before when I lost compression, the car started on a dime and now it doesn’t make any noise besides the pump kicking on when I turn the key. No starter noise...
BLT is done and the only leak I found was coming from the BOV gasket and I already have something here to swap it out with. I also found out that the injectors are 650 instead of the 850s I was told so I bought a set of 1220 cc injectors from boosting which should be here later today. Took it...
I have for sale a 2G AWD MEGAN catback exhaust for sale. Only reason I took it off was because I went side exit. Looking for 100 OBO. I will not ship from 16441
For those who haven’t heard, I bought another DSM to dedicate to racing and pla on keeping Betty nice street car now. With that said, I have picked up Betty’s head from the machine shop and now I need time to go pick up the block. After that everything should start rolling from there!Here’s...
Worked on Sandy a little more today. Got to my friends house and jacked the car back up. We bled the breaks and the rears went great. There was a little air in the lines but it all came out quickly. The fronts did not bleed so easily. Pretty sure I need 4 all new bleeders because nothing would...
I’m very interested to see the results in person. If it works well on a 2.0 for autox, I might go with that instead of my twin scroll 20g setup for my 2.3. Will you be coming to our test and tune (5/4) or first event (5/5)?
My racing wheel came in and I instantly installed it! I really love the feel this thing give me compared to stock. Now my hand doesn’t hit my legs as I’m trying to turn.With work being so busy and working overtime like crazy I didn’t have the time I needed to make a custom side exit like I...
For the longest time I was having a hard time taking my First AWD DSM (Betty) back to autocross even tho I still had the itch, the car is too clean to beat on it constantly the way I would to stay competitive. I started randomly searching for other vehicles to race in and I jus kept coming back...
If you blew a 16g at stock pressure I'm gonna say it was probably a knock off 16g. If you're not wanting to upgrade anything you'll enjoy a 14b. It will spoil quicker and feel faster at lower boost levels.
Unfortunately I have not but I am hoping my new motor will be done very soon. Happy to hear you're still out driving. Everyone started tagging me in the video from MBR because of your talon. Looks killer man
How about we call her Betty 2.3?Small updateI received the X turbo and swapped out the stock wheel and compressor for the 20g wheel and cover I had laying around. While swapping I noticed it was leaking oil into the hotside of the turbo a pretty good amount so I bought a rebuild kit for it...
UPDATE!!!So I finished bleeding the clutch in the talon and drove the car out to @GofaST4life for the shootout. On the way there I noticed the coolant was perfect the entire time but the stock oil pressure gauge was reading just above the middle of the gauge while driving on the highway which...
Small little update. I got some parts in for Betty that im currently working on but they're not ready to be shown because it's still the early stages and haven't had much time to work on them. I'll be posting pics hopefully this week if I get more time.In the mean time, the shootout bug has...
Myself and a friend have already messaged him stating we would work the event. Neither of us will have cars running this year so we figured we had all the time in the world to help out
Canceling AUTOX wasn't the the best thing to do. I know many people who bring their cars there just to run it and end up running bracket because of it. I'm glad I didn't try and rush to get my car done just to make it in the past because I would have been pissed. It's only 2.5 hours away from me...
A very long story cut short, July of last year during an event I lost compression in the used motor I swapped into the car. Started idling like crap, wouldn't build boost, and started smoking a little. I wasn't too annoyed about because it was a junkyard motor that had 170k on it but at this...
Yup! Looks more like the previous owner removed the plastic tube that goes inside the intake. He might be able to find a peace cheap, rig something up, or buy a different intake (stock or aftermarket)
Take that cap off and clean out the intake. If you bought a 1g BOV you'll need a new flange. If you don't want a new flange stock evo BOV fit perfect and hold much better boost than our stock units
I'm guessing it's not a real evo 3. Might look like one from the outside but spool is very late and a lot of people have a hard time cracking 400 with one too. Either way, good numbers
This really sucks to see. I'd like to see the video personally just to see how close it was setup to the curb. Being a SS and going to other regions and seeing what their definition of safe is compared to the book makes me cringe sometimes
I've run the outlander and CTS-V (very similar to the evo) setups and the CTS-V brakes much harder. I have no ABS and it's hard not to lock up to tires at an Autocross event if you're not careful. I did think the Outlander kit worked great over stock but I also swapped to a better pad compound...
Good luck to you and your build but I want to say this. In your first post you stated you might have the wrong (FWD) flywheel in it. A FWD flywheel will not work at all with a AWD transmission as the bell housing is smaller on the AWD. Now the teeth could be missing causing your starter to no...
MBR points event number 2 6/04/17The weather called for thunderstorms for most of the day so not many people showed up to the event. We had 6 runs in the morning and 8 in the afternoon.Course was not my favorite as there were two very tight hairpin turns and not much room for the car to...
