First of all, welcome.The head swap would be straight up with no modifications, the heads are identical. If compression is good (you can trust him on it) and you can invest in the rebuild of the head, pull the trigger. Swapping the head is pretty easy and painless, just gets a bit tight...
Because my girlfriend told me to get rid of it and I am a peon.No seriously, I am moving and I can't see myself bringing it along. I am keeping some things and I will build another dsm down the road. Tuners hasn't heard the last of me.But seriously, my girlfriend made me do it.
This post is the perfect example of the average DSM'ers experience with a car with idle problems that hasn't been kept up. If it can go wrong with the idle, it will and has.
Turning the engine by hand isn't necessarily a great way to test if valves are bent. Your pistons do sometimes bend them out of the way when they get punted at high speed.Don't get an ebay timing belt kit unless you want to do it again. As far as the valves go, this guy's stuff is the real...
I can't find any setting for ecuflash for global fuel, ive been searching around. Either im not seeing it, or it isn't there. Been doing lots of research, but nothing concrete yet. Likely because im working on a platform with 0 customer support, unlike ECMlink. I am starting to realize how...
From what I understand DSMlink does the scaling itself, wheras ECUflash lets you plug in a global value and it does it for you. Although, I understand very little. Pretty much wish I went with DSMlink at this point, as frustrating as ECUflash has been so far.
It hasn't been on anything but bricks. I can't seem to find/tune in the damn latencies for my pte 1200's on ECUflash, all i found was the evo ones and they make my car idle like shit and go crazy lean. Trying to work on a solution, I posted on the tuning subforum, hopefully someone can help me.
So after finally working out my ECUflash problems and getting a new reflash sleeve to replace the defective one, I was ready to tune the DSM. Or so I thought. I have PTE 1200cc injectors, and was following the instructions on ceddy's website on how to scale the injectors and plug in values for...
Angel, I am having the same problems you are, just have a little different tuning input than you as I am using ECUflash. My car starts just fine, then idles poorly and hesitates when you give it gas. My wideband shoots to 22 pretty quickly after the wideband warms up, so I have been turning it...
The reason why I think FP vs DNP is a joke is because in a purely price vs performance derby, it isn't even close. Like people have already stated, cast would be a better choice for a daily driver to keep the radiant heat from the manifold down. More people have also made more better numbers...
lol the FP manifold is way better than that overpriced DNP manifold. I'm hard pressed to think of a worse combo than the DNP with a DSM flange if you decide to spend serious $$$.
Could be AC compressor, there is a plug right next to it with the same pale green color as well that goes to the crank position sensor. I think they are virtually identical? Make sure you hook it up to the right one.
Your car has about the same mods as Noah, I forget his name on this site, you might know him. You guys share the same car? Switch off weekends? I wanted to stop by the import faceoff before I even read this. You should pm me your cell so we can keep in touch. Maybe I can even come by and...
How are you going to fill the holes though? Imagine that my best solution I can come up with is duct tape, and then respond taking that into account. I think you assumed I had some sort of skills of some kind. :)
Forged Performance sounds like the Bizarro Superman to Forced Performance's Clark Kent. Just as terrible in servicing its customers as Forced Performance is good. :hmm:
Your story and car reminds me of my car:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm-build-journals/441596-irishbeatdowns-1997-gsx-punishment-build.htmlGot mine for about the same price, we have virtually identical mileage, mine = 131k, red 2gb, and most importantly, wingless with gaping holes in...
WTF I knew the lead times on frontline's stuff was pretty stretched out as this point, but that is crazy talk. Maybe I will hold off a bit on ordering a rear diff cover after hearing this. I'm planning to blow up my dsm well before I would likely receive it.
Last time I saw it on their website, when it was still up, it was 650$ I believe Smoker. At least with the 'add-ons' that would be pretty much necessity if you bought one.
You won't be sorry for getting the Hi-Z's. I have 1200cc Delphi Low-Z's and I do not like them at all :| Probably the modification I least like about my car at this point. It's on the to-do list to be rid of them soon. I'm liking your build thread, I'm going to try and keep up and see where...
Get Hi-Z if you can. They tend to idle a lot better than Low-Z and perform better overall. They are also a little more pricey, but if you can afford them, I would go that route. Fuel injector clinic injectors are also always a good bet for DSM's :thumb:
Most of these people will never appreciate how long or how much effort truly goes into polishing the intake manifold. I did the same thing you did, and I know firsthand how long it takes. Looks like you did a great job on it as well. The funniest part is it looks like you started polishing...
What's with dogging the guy that wants to pay $$$ to get work done on his car for him? Not all people that turn wrenches for a living are hacks, and if he doesn't have the time, he doesn't have the time. To tell him that he will never appreciate it because he isn't doing the work himself is...
I just wanted to bring some resolution to this thread. The problems were being caused by a faulty reflash connector. Michael from tactrix sent me a new one and it works flawlessly now. The "sending init sequence 2" followed by the timeout error is caused by the reflash pin not getting the...
Tracked it down on the device manager, it is being issued as COM3. How can i rectify this? I have perused the different tabs, I cant find one to change the port assignment.
Mine is USB, it is recognized in the lower right corner of the ECUflash screen. I know this is pretty obvious, but 12.5v on the battery IS enough to read a ROM? Or maybe that is my problem. I think id pitch a fit if my problem was a partially charged battery.This error has been attributed...
I tried both ways, seems as if people say to install the drivers with ecuflash rather than downloading the drivers separate. Even tactrix recommends that on their download page. Even, so I gave it a go both ways.I can't even read my ecu, so i've played around with it, I get this error...
I wish I could get it there. ECU is now confirmed as not the problem, the new one I bought off a member here has the same response as my first ECU. I'm going to try a new computer, redo the whole process. I've tried every possible combination of definitions and roms, and did everything twice...
The first link you posted I looked at, but the OP Blaze never found a solution he posted. The solution you referred to was posted by another member. Nonetheless, I tried switching to XP and reinstalling, didn't work. The second link was posted by a guy with a Subaru :confused:
Pretty much everyone I know in tucson with a modded dsm runs link. The biggest single problem I run into is the non-standardization of error messages. What I mean by that is there isn't any clear reasons why many of these error messages come up, most of the solutions on evolutionm.com are...
It will work, might not seal perfect though. If you are really concerned about it, run a NPT tap through it. BSPT threads have more taper so they can be tapped to NPT, but not the other way around. So, tap away.
So.I've spent the better part of 20 hours installing/wrangling this black box ECU. I am unable to log for more than 10-15 seconds on Evoscan, and I cannot read or write the ECU at all in ECUflash. I get two messages alternatively on ECUflash, "J2534 error [ERR_TIMEOUT]," and other times...
