If you were willing to spend a touch more for an upgrade, there are a few 14b turbos on here that are for sale at around $125. The upside being that you have room to grow power wise. Theres a thread dedicated to 14b turbos and getting the most power out of them so when the time comes you can put...

So what are the requirements for making the top 50? I realize it has to be with a 4g63 but what about chassis? Any chassis counts?

Jesus christ. DSM guys complain about timing jobs with our engines.... imagine doing this....:barf:

See this is the problem with some people on this site. They go by what they hear. I mean come on. You're really going to get upset that you lost to a honda based on what you've HEARD? You're killing me smalls.Please work the google machine. The internet is an amazing near free resource. You...

very very cool. I love reading how back when it began, the best quarter times were 13 sec and they were almost tagging 100 mph. Fast forward to today and the times are cut in half and the speed is doubled. Just incredible. It makes me a little bit more proud looking at that hunk of cast iron...

Man, thats awkward...

:D good oneAnyways, my .02... You're throwing 550's on a car that normally sees 390cc so you really need a tune bud.

This is a completely valid point however it costs less to replace your pads and rotors than it does to replace your trans.Keep in mind these transmissions are old and finicky so I wouldn't risk it by engine braking on a regular basis. You most likely wont blow out your trans from engine...

I was gonna say, when I took out my trans after it had been grinding like mad crazy, the trans fluid was gold looking from the bronze in the synchros.Your friend is most likely correct when he says its excessive wear on your bearings. All of the fine silver pieces from the worn bearings are...

I like hankooks ventus v12's. They have good grip and good handling.If you're going for a "good looking tread" I think they also do well in the looks dept. Great handling tire plus if you get caught in the rain they've still got some grip. Great price too.Look to spend under $150 per...

Look at it this way man if you end up going the china turbo route you'll dish out what $200 for a turbo that will most likely go within the next 5k miles IF YOURE LUCKY. After that happens you might realize "Hey, I want a better quality turbo" which will last at least 25-50k miles (Im...

Oh jeeze, do you know what fluid he recommends? Just curious.

If the bearings were bad then you would more than likely hear a rumbling.With the vibration and shaking do you mean that you have to correct the car with steering input or are you just saying theres shaking/vibration going through the car?....

If you find the source of the smell to be an animal, please have a camera ready... I gotta see this :thumb:

Your stock ones used would actually be very cheap here on the classifieds. You can find pretty much any size injectors up to about 560 on this site for under and around $100If you plan on upgrading your turbo you can upgrade all the way up to 600cc safely with a SAFC. Anywhere above that you...

Hey guys. I found an online calculator a while back that took input from multiple areas of a car including frontal area, weight, coefficient of drag, engine size whether it was forced induction or not, drive train loss, fuel injected or carbureted, and gear ratios and after all the data is...

Very impressive! Im curious though... Whats helping you nail the 30+ mpg other than the driving at 65 mph? Did you just lean the car out with the safc?

Alright... i just wanted to be safe... I was a little confused because the OP has/had a 1g and multiple people responded with results regarding other 1g's so i just assumed this was in the wrong section. :thumb:

LOVEEEE the paint Looks awesome!

Not all guys clean the grease off when they do a rebuild so i wouldn't use that to judge if it was rebuilt or not....

Alright guys. This is a theoretical question regarding fuel pumps. so don't give me too hard of a time haha :PI was curious, what is the difference between an in-tank and an in-line fuel pump. The reason being, in a purely speculative sense would it be possible to use an in-tank fuel pump...

How does this not help you answer your question? He's telling you that its unreliable and you should get an alternative method of monitoring a/f and that chances are the information you're getting from the stock unit is incorrect..... so why not use a more reliable method of obtaining...

Just so you know, n/a and turbo rods are EXACTLY the same.... the differences in rods comes into play when comparing 1g vs 2g rods and its a FACT that 1g rods are beefier....The only thing you really need to do is get turbo pistons due to the higher placement of the ring landings on the non...

God damn! That paint job looks absolutely filthy keltalon. :hellyeah: Love the look. Ive always loved the black and red color combo:thumb:

You may have made a simple typo but just for future reference make sure you count your decimal places! Especially if you're giving advice. Im not railing ya, just helping out :thumb: it would be a shame if somebody saw .25 as opposed to .025 and tried to get a quarter inch gap in their plugs ;)

Tell me more about this pressure hole you speak of

Very nice! Thanks for the video!

Very cool. Even though its pretty straight forward you should do a write up :thumb:How did you go about cleaning them out after?

keltalon- Is that a 1g lifter you modified?

Well based off your profile it says you're stock... If this is true those are huge

Sounds like you're in limp mode. Like bud said ^^ check your TCU.

I have not used them so take this with a grain of salt but many have said if you're going the xtd clutch route go for the stage 4 kit or don't bother.

You can knick the 400's by maxing a big 16g... You could reach 400's much easier with an 18g but you still are going to run into that pesky issue of high comp ratio + boost.

Hx-35/40 would totally get you over the 400 mark.... Its just OP has 10.5:1 comp. Granted he's running e85 but you're going to have to boost to 20+ psi to see near 400 hp

When you say "small turbo" I'm assuming literally a small turbo not a "smaller" turbo.....A reasonable target for say a 14b would be 270 (some are nailing 300-320 with supporting mods). With say a big 16g you're pumping out around 38 lb/min you might be able to eek out 42 but ideally you're...

+1 on this. Rockauto is great. Wide array of manufacturers for different parts. Ive yet to find a better site.

This is why I'm a firm believer that the english language needs a sarcastic font.... Some people don't pick up on it :PP.S. you need bigger injectors
