  1. stock gsx engine torque curve

    In case nobody else responds, I know from memory that the 1G made 203 lb/ft @ 3500 and 195 HP @ 6000, so that will at least give two points if nothing else.
  2. How high can engine rev safely? [Merged 12-7]

    The key issue here is that cars *do* use gears, and it's torque to the wheels, not at the engine that's at issue. He stated that he wants to build a high-rev engine, not to make more power, but because he thinks it's going to somehow gain him traction because the engine is making less torque...
  3. How high can engine rev safely? [Merged 12-7]

    Let's try this again. His limiting factor is traction. Traction is overcome by torque at the wheels. Let's say that the limit of traction occurs at 300 LB/ft of torque. This will be limit of acceleration regardless of how fast he can make torque, also known as Horsepower. Wheel Torque is the...
  4. How high can engine rev safely? [Merged 12-7]

    While I won't disagree that more RPM can make more power, the idea that building a higher revving engine will somehow keep you from spinning the tires simply isn't true. Your front tires are going to break loose when x amount of torque is applied to them, regardless of whether it's being applied...
  5. To all people w/ BAER TRACK Big Brake Kit!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!!!!!

    The 13" Baer kit will not clear the 3G RX7 wheels. I tried it, not even close.
  6. External WG's and California Law

    Well, I'm actually waiting for an internally-gated BB turbo that proves itself to be the equal of the Green. So far, I'm less than impressed with the results people are getting on pump gas, so I'm holding out until I see some good results. The FP2544 sounds interesting, but at 44 lb/min, it...
  7. Dyno Numbers Finally

    Hmm, so does this mean that Vishnu is going to be marketing his products to us "Salty internet nerds" (DSM owners) now?
  8. Pictures of Dynomax Bullet on Dsm's

    Looks aside, I can tell you that on my already quiet 80 dBA 3" system, the addition of a 14" (I think it is) Bullet muffler was only good for a 1 dB reduction. In other words, not a noticeable reduction without a meter. I would suspect that on a louder system, it might be good good for ~2 dB...
  9. Cai?

    1. Not as long as the MAF stays where it is. 2. Depends on where your current setup draws air. 3. Yes, if your current setup sucks air from under the hood. DSM ECU's (1G's at least) retard timing after the temp sensor in the MAF reaches a certain point. (~105 degrees) This has nothing to do...
  10. New Parts for DSM's

    Maybe you should try mastering Spell Check before "devolping" any DSM parts, lest we think you're just another young "tooner" type who couldn't even engineer his belt tight enough to keep his pants from falling off. Judging by your previous responses, it's fairly clear that you're the latter.
  11. External WG's and California Law

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to a specific question, so I guess I'll ask it here:California DSM'ers, are external WG's illegal by their very existence, ("No modifying the exhaust system ahead of the catcon") or is just that it's illegal to dump, (obviously) whether it's from an...
  12. FMIC that lets me keep my A/C? 92 TSI AWD

    That would depend on the install. There are companies that make kits using the 2-216 core, but mine was a custom install, so I have no idea if their pipe routing allows for the stock fans. I still run mine, but I'm a picky SOB who believes that stock shrouded fans work better than a zillion CFM...
  13. exhaust & smog

    Digging up and old thread to ask about Cali DSM's with external WG's in general: Doesn't state law prohibit external WG's, regardless of whether they dump or not? I have heard that external WG's are illegal and they will not pass visual. I see that GSX90 passed with an external, but was this an...
  14. FP3052 Pictures and impressions

    What gear was the 3400 done in? Just for accuracy purposes, I like to test boost threshold in 5th, since things happen slower. Would you mind doing a 5th gear roll-on test to see where you reach full boost? TIA
  15. FMIC that lets me keep my A/C? 92 TSI AWD

    I run a Spearco 2-216 core and still have my A/C. It would probably be easier to get a good upgraded sidemount, but if you want the performance of a big FMIC, I highly recommend the 2-216.http://www.pinamotorsports.com/gallery/album05/DSC00232
  16. balance shafts

    In addition to what Steve said, you'll gain more by not going to bling bling wheels than you will by removing the BS's. It's all about rotating mass, and it's proximity to it's axis of rotation. Wheels and tires make the biggest difference, then flywheel, then balance shafts. There is, of...
  17. thoughts on custom canards...

    I hear Ace Hardware is having a sale this week. Might there be something else you have forgotten?
  18. Carbon Fiber Hood UV Damage

    Gee I dunno, PAINT seems to work just fine on the rest of your car.
  19. Chamber kit with H&R springs???

    What the hell is a "Chamber" kit?
  20. Best sway bar?

    I have the ST rear bar and I like it alot. It really helps tune out some of the mid-corner understeer and and helps turn in.
  21. Clipping Big16g cons AND pros

    I haven't owned a non-clipped B16G, so I really can't compare, but on my 1G with stock compression/FMIC/3" exh. I see 15psi on my SAFC at 3050 RPM in 5th gear. Your higher compression should lower that figure if you have a free-flowing exhaust and intake path.
  22. SBR-GT10 BB vs. AGP SS44 (formerly L1R) differences?

    It's really a shame that so many turbo comparison threads have turned into flame wars, thus causing the mods to institute the "No Direct Comparison" rules. I can understand why, but it doesn't change the fact that it's only natural (and necessary) to try to determine what performance...
  23. 2g mas on otherwise stock 1g

    I thought there was a section for "Non-Turbo Performance?" As cheap as a 1GT is these days, I would waste the money for a K&N on a 1G NT.
  24. exhaust question

    I'm not familiar with that brand, but you should be able to find a resonator for pretty cheap, (RRE in Socal) and the exhaust shop should have no trouble providing everything else. Good luck.
  25. killed motor

    If you went past the 60k service interval and it broke, it's 100% your fault and you get what you deserve for being cheap.
  26. Petition Against /For [Merged 3-8]

    But again, it's nearly usless to me, since there's no RPM correlation or even a mention of what gear they used so I could do the conversion.
  27. Petition Against /For [Merged 3-8]

    Heck, I'd just be happy to see a dyno run with stock vs whatever that started at less than 4k RPM. There's little doubt that the good ones work on the big end, but at what price in the small end?
  28. $90 for 30HP

    While there's no question that the guys in your area build some mean machines, I think that starting out with internal engine work as your first mod is highly unlikely to provide the same gains as some of the "tried and true" DSM mods. I'm sure that on a maxed-out racecar this guy might have an...
  29. Dug some pix up from my presents cars to old cars that i miss dearly :(

    Why don't you fix those pop-ups? It looks like the thing is trying to throw up.
  30. $90 for 30HP

    I'll second that "no," and add that you should be looking at the well-documented mod paths of others.
  31. Track results WOO HOO FINALLY HOOKED UP A LITTLE BIT

    Let's set the record straight. You're the tool who out of the blue, posted to the NWDSM list, talking dodo about how fast you were and how none of us "stood a chance." The bottom line is, you called Sam out, and he beat you. Be a man (instead of acting like a 12-year old) and admit that you...
  32. converting to timing chain

    POS timing belts? Says who? I know of nobody who has done proper maintenance and replaced all of the components listed on the VFAQ site and has had a single problem with the factory setup. Of course, the "New DSMer" doesn't want to hear about maintenance, as that's for everyone else. If you...
  33. The best Pump Gas "Turbo" set up? [Merged 5-7]

    Weird. That page wasn't there yesterday. How did you get the "SCM" version for $775? I only see the "SC" versions at that price. I'm confused.:confused:
  34. The best Pump Gas "Turbo" set up? [Merged 5-7]

    Am I at the correct site?http://www.precisionte.com/I don't even see a turbo listed for "Sport Compact."
  35. Need a GOOD aftermarket temp/fan switch

    Jegs or Summit have adjustable fan switches like what you describe.
  36. Oil Temperature Gauge Sender [Merged 5-7] temp mount adapter sump

    Some local guys have done a filter relocation kit and found that it drops oil temps 10-15 degrees. Try Summit or Jeg's.
  37. 1G TSi vs. 2002 BMW M3 SMG

    My point is that, just because you bury the speedo, it doesn't mean that your top speed is a mystery. Set your SAFC to monitor "peak" RPM, do your run, then do the math using the AFC number. A stock 1G AWD with stock tires does 68 MPH @ 3000 RPM in 5th. Let's say you hit 7100 RPM in 5th...
  38. 1G TSi vs. 2002 BMW M3 SMG

    The fact that you are going that fast, but aren't bright enough to use the tach to figure out how fast you're going scares me. I glad I don't live in NJ.
  39. need help with fluid choices

    A rally mechanic I know suggested using Neo vs. Redline or GM. I don't have any experience with it, so I can't tell you that it's better for sure, but it might be worth investigating.
  40. Can Someone Define Boost Creep?

    I won't, since it's already been explained *many* times:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=660&highlight=boost+creephttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56824&highlight=boost+creep...
  41. Help Me Please!

    And we wonder why DSM's have a reputation for being unreliable. It simply amazes me that there are people out there that will mess with things under the hood without a freakin' CLUE what they're doing. :rolleyes:
  42. 550's on a big 16g

    The injector question depends on your base fuel pressure. I'm no 2G expert, but the consensus seems to be that 2G ECU's don't allow for good timing advance without "larger" injectors.
  43. Can a 20G do what i need?

    Brian, don't you have problems with the internal getting blown open under high boost? It seems that every time I hear of a 20G w/internal, people always complain of boost spikes and inability to hold high boost.
  44. Will I have to lower the compression ratio with a 16g?

    Life Cycle of a Locked Thread1. Newbie comes to DSM site 2. Newbie thinks that the "Read this before posting" and "Tuning Guide" sections are meant for everybody *but* him. 3. Newbie asks stupid question which could have been answered by reading the aforementioned sections 4 Newbie gets...
  45. Weight reduction?

    Go to Buschur's site. Has has a list of weight savings ideas.
  46. what gains will i get from bolting on a 16g

    "I'm too lazy to ready the Tuning Guide, please spoon feed me so I don't have to do any research."
  47. Tein Type HA on a 1G!!! *pics*

    Ride heights should not be determined by measuring stick, but by corner weights. With that much spring rate, corner balancing is critical, as 1/4" of travel is 150 lbs. A properly balanced car will typically have slightly different wheel gaps in each fender. It would be a waste to spend that...
  48. Turbo or Cat-Back?

    Obviously, the turbo-back will give more power.
  49. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Go to the dealer and buy a new fan switch. It's on the lower driver's side of the radiator. I'm assuming that your fans don't come on. If they do come on before the temp needle gets past halfway, your radiator could be clogged. Also, remeber that you need coolant_and_water, not just water, or...
