  1. How do I make / buy / use / troubleshoot a boost leak tester? [merged]

    Test it at TDC and you're BOV probably needs replacement or crushing.
  2. At last, the better side of 12.0 in the 14b powered Talon!!!

    Props to you Phil. Good to see an old schooler still in the game goin' fast with class, still making CT famous.:hellyeah:
  3. Internal Engine Problem.. rattling.. *VIDEO*

    If by cam side, left side you mean driver side, check your crank pulley.
  4. Wheel vibration

    Sounds stupid but make sure the wheel lugs are tight. Easily and often overlooked.
  5. Crank Pulley Mark Does Not Line Up When All Other Marks Are OK?!

    Could you possibly be off one full revolution on the crank? In other words on the top of the exhaust stroke where the ex. valves are open as opposed to the top of the compression stroke where the valves will be closed? :confused:
  6. F***ing ACT!!!! 2600

    I just helped someone pull a trans. with the same issues. First replaced the master cyl., then slave, then pulled and welded the pedal assy. Finally pulled the trans. to find a spring popped out and lodged between the street disc and flywheel. Symptoms, shifts when not running, can't shift when...
  7. Help Examine My Datalogger Results!!

    Boost leaks seem to be the #1 tuning problem. Also, check your base timing and make sure it's not too far advanced. The datalogger thinks your base timing is 5*BTDC unless you correct it.
  8. Crazy fast Blinker speed

    Sounds like one of the filaments in the front bulb is out like someone already said. I've also had a problem with grounds on my '91 Tsi. This, too, was on the front. It was where the wire goes into the bulb socket itself. I cleaned up the connectors and used dielectric grease on there and...
  9. Major Oil Leak!!

    Could be the oil filter that backed off but you say it's all on the intake side. Could be the dipstick popped out but you would have noticed when you checked it and that's on the exhaust side. Could be coming from the breather filter if you have one on there but to pump that much oil out the...
  10. Need help fast!!!!!

    You remembered to plug in the ISC, right? I know it sounds stupid but it's very easy to miss considering where it's located. You didn't leave any vacuum lines off either? No throttle body gasket leaks?
  11. Welding machines [Merged 9-7] welder weld TIG MIG

    I'd be afraid of being electrocuted with one of them. I believe you get what you pay for in this case.
  12. Welding machines [Merged 9-7] welder weld TIG MIG

    Not to get off topic and just out of curiosity, why is Miller preferred?:confused:
  13. Welding machines [Merged 9-7] welder weld TIG MIG

    I got myself a Lincoln 135 plus MIG welder. I got tired of waiting on people to weld stuff for me. I never had experience with MIG welding before. I used to arc/stick and ox/acetylene weld as part of my job about 28 yrs. ago so it's been a while. After reading ALL instructions I gave it a go and...
  14. BISS Backing out?

    For future reference the "O" ring is a #5 I believe which you can buy at any hardware store. Yes you can fill the cavity on top of the screw with silicone, but you probably shouldn't have to with the new ring. The cap on top is basically to keep debris out. Most DSM that I've seen are missing...
  15. i need help on 95 talon tsi

    Possibly your timing belt either broke or jumped teeth. Take the top cover off of your belt and take a peek. Could be your valves resting against your pistons.
  16. Shifting problems

    cool!:cool:
  17. Shifting problems

    http://www.taboospeedshop.com/clutch.htmI went through this with 1 bent and two broken clutch forks after installing a 2600 ACT on my son's '91 Tsi AWD. New master and slave cylinders. Braided steel line. 1/4" added to slave cylinder rod. Nothing worked. Inserted a lock washer under the...
  18. Few Questions about idle

    http://www.crebotech.com/page2.htmlHere's a link for testing your idle speed controller. It sounds like this might be your problem.http://www.dsm.org/how-tos/tttt/tttt3.htmlHere's another for more possibilities.

  20. Does a 35+ year old look stupid in a DSM?

    Take a look at my gallery and you tell me. Everything is original with the body. Head's never been off, been running with Mobil 1 since 20k miles. Never been in an accident of any kind. If you got the cash, I don't care what anyone says, there's nothing like the day you pick up a "new car."
  21. Does a 35+ year old look stupid in a DSM?

    I'm 49 and had my '91 Tsi FWD since Oct. 1990. One owner, me! It's modded to produce 324 whp on pump gas. If it was AWD it'd be at least 424 awhp but it's not and you know how that goes. I bought my son, now 19, a 1990 AWD Talon when he was 16. It was in his blood before he was 12, just like...
  22. who has had a bad PVC valve?

    Did you use dyno oil or synthetic when you broke it in?
  23. How do I make / buy / use / troubleshoot a boost leak tester? [merged]

    How about one of those portable air tanks that just holds air. Fill it up at your local station. Holds about 100 psi, it's about the size of a propane tank with a gauge for filling. I would prefer a regulator on it though so I could turn down the pressure entering thi intake to a reasonable psi...
  24. GIVING MY SON THE 1G for CHRISTMAS...

    How do you figure that?
  25. GIVING MY SON THE 1G for CHRISTMAS...

    I gave my son his DSM, '90 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD, when he got his license. He has broken every drive train part on that car except for the transfer case (shhhh) from high rpm launches, etc. He has paid for every broken part on that car also, and or worked on it, occassionlly with my help, to get...
  26. Stalling when idleing while rolling.

    Oh, really?"You (frontdriver) mentioned a cold idle valve. Could you please provide the specific name of that part that could be found in a manual?"Actually, I did a search on this website for "reed switch" and this was a quote directly from search results. I have no idea what a cold...
  27. Stalling when idleing while rolling.

    I suggest you do a search for "reed switch". That's how I found this thread."When the car is in motion... AND the speedometer is not at zero, a reed switch mounted in the speedo signals the ECU to increase the idle a bit. That's why the idle is higher when rolling. It is normal. As far as...
  28. Stalling when idleing while rolling.

    If it's when you are turning the steering wheel remember to have the wire plugged in on the power steering pump on what looks like about a 5/32" stud.There's also supposed to be a reed switch that I've read about on the back of the speedometer somewhere that senses when the car is moving and...
  29. Head Lights

    I ended up removing the headlight switch assy. from the steering column and cleaning the contact points with aerosol contact cleaner and it seems to be working ok now.
  30. Head Lights

    Thanks.
  31. EGT Gauge wiring

    Aren't these the wires that get connected to your egt probe? If that's the case, no you can't connect them to the same place as the black/white wires if I understand your question.http://www.frostalarm.com/hookup/2a1.htmlHere's a link that might be helpful..
  32. Head Lights

    It would seem kind of odd that both headlights would go bad at once. I'm going to try and clean the contacts on the dimmer assy. There's a procedure in the factory manual for checking the oper. of the dimmer, I'll have to check that. It's an intermittent problem.
  33. Head Lights

    bump
  34. Head Lights

    I've been having a problem when I switch off the hi-beams the headlights go out completely. If I click the stalk from low to hi and back they eventually come back on at low. Nov problem when on hi. Dash lights and parking lights always stay on during this problem. Anyone have this problem? I...
  35. How long have you owned your DSM?

    13 glorious yrs. and I'm still enjoying it.
  36. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    scares easy, dick
  37. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    Unless you have something to gauge it against, like a time slip, you really have no clue how well you are doing.
  38. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    This all sounds great. Let us know your actual results when you get back from the track.Just remember, it ain't easy running slicks on the street.
  39. Ticking

    No. They've made revisions to our cars lifters. They have bigger holes for oil passage now. You can change all of them in about 1 hr. if you're mechanically adept.
  40. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    Holy Crap!! I can't nail it in 3rd on a cool morning, dry pavement, without breaking loose.
  41. AWD vs FWD Dyno..any difference?

    According to Dejan at Pruven Performance the difference is minimal. They are lucky enough to have an AWD dynojet and tried it back to back, FWD and AWD.
  42. Ticking

    Probably lifters. Upgrade to the newest version from Mits. The noise will tip off the knock sensor to pull timing and rob performance.
  43. Poll: What gas do you use

    Sunoco Ultra 94.
  44. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    lsd should help alot. good investment_____________________________best 1/4 12.70(with the 16g) best mph 113(with the 16g)What are you using for tires for these times, DSM?
  45. FWD Traction....IT SUX!

    I just went to the track Fri. Best run was 14.2 @ 109.4. That mph is generally in the mid 12's for an AWD. I make 324 whp on pump gas and 20 psi on my small ported 16g. On Fri. I put in c-16 and turned up the boost to about 23. I have a phantom grip lsd, agx adjustables at softest in front and...
  46. does anyone know how to correctly hack a 1g mas?

    http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/DSMCentral/message/77Al Blaha modded mas.
  47. What needs to be done to store a DSM for the winter?

    I understand through the combustion process there's different acids and corrosives produced and introduced into the oil through blow by, etc. and is better purged out with fresh oil when storing for long periods so as not to damage bearing surfaces,etc.But then again, I'm no rocket scientist.
