  1. vibration

    Bad motor mount. :dsm:
  2. front engine cover (oil pump)

    I have used both Topline front cover/ oil pump and a found it to be a POS. The case can't handle the timing belt tension and the gears and shaft eat into the case. As far as the Topline gaskets. They suck as bad as their oil pumps. Slowboy sold to me and claimed that is what they used...
  3. Valve Spring / Retainer kit Question?

    I run stock springs/retainers to 8k with 272's with no problem. :dsm:
  4. Diagram for welding center diff?

    You will need a special jig. Just get a spool it's cheap and easy. :dsm:
  5. Driveshaft Carrier Bearings

    I siliconed a set new carriers and have not had any issues for 5 years now. :dsm:
  6. Cheapest place for OEM axles, awd

    I personally use only Raxles' . After going through about 20 Autozone, Car Quest, Napa axles I finally wised up. If you enjoy changing them by all means get the cheapest. :dsm:
  7. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    I have have added WI from Coolingmist. Good quality at a good price. Customer service was right there. This is one of the best mods I have ever done. I currently run 50/50. :dsm:
  8. fuel pump or injectors? which 1st?

    I'd go 255 hp in case you decide on a larger turbo later. :dsm:
  9. side exit exhaust [Merged 1-9]

    I have been running a dual 3 inch exhaust for 6 years. I don't run a conventional muffler, rather baffles are installed in the end of each 3 inch pipe. Flows like an open pipe but meets NHRA noise standards, street baffles are available also. Exhaust exits in front of the rear tires. I'm...
  10. Blown headgasket?

    Blown head gasket. :dsm:
  11. Multi layered head gasket!!!!

    MLS will seal if:* block is straight with a smooth finish. * head is straight and also has a smooth finish. * ARP are torqued using proper technique and proper lube. * HG is sprayed with hylomar to seal water jackets.
  12. Exhaust & Radiator Problems

    Blown head gasket. :dsm:
  13. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Sorry to say that most likely you have a blown headgasket. :dsm:
  14. Suggestion on how to do deal with problem head

    I'm not quite sure why you would replace an oil pan because it's not sealing and I don't know how coolant could physically blow out the thermostat? From what I can understand from your post is that you have a blown headgasket. The broken valve spring could hang that valve open and piston...
  15. Steering Wheel and Brake Pedal Vibration

    About 50 percent of the NEW rotors I see are not straight and need to be turned right out of the box. Just because your rotors are new do not assume they are straight. :dsm:
  16. My phantom knock is 100% gone! No bandaids!

    Is it still working? I tried what you did and it helps for a day or so until the trims pull it back. :dsm:
  17. HKS cam duration @ .050" or at 1mm lift?

    I too am looking for specs on HKS 272's. Anyone know where these #'s can be found? :dsm:
  18. Just got the head off, what to fix now.

    Since the head is off have it completely disassembled by a qualified machine shop. They can tell you what needs to be done. Plan on possible valve replacement, valve seat grinding, replacing valve seals and possibly valve guides, and of course, resurfacing. Plan on spending $300-500. In...
  19. Head gasket job

    It's tough to get those metal HG's to seal. Make sure that the head and the block are perfectly straight. For 400 HP a stock HG should do the job and is a lot easier to seal. Get a timing belt tensioner tool. Pulling the head with the manifolds attached is the easiest. Make sure to get the...
  20. JDM tranny

    Most JDM trannies don't have the right final drive gear ratio. What are the #'s stamped on it? :dsm:
  21. Bottom of tranny is really wet.....

    Sounds like axle seals. Only use genuine mits. Differentiating motor oil from gear oil should not be that difficult. They are very different viscosities and smell different. :dsm:
  22. Turbonetics Deltagate II Wastegate

    I ran deltagates for a number of years. How much boost are you shooting for and what spring do you have in the wastegate? :dsm:
  23. 20g turbo?!?!?

    The 20g can be a great turbo for DSMs. Properly built they can spool hard at an acceptable RPM and provide pretty fair H.P. But after 5 of them My experience is that the bearings don't hold up. The bearing surface area is no greater than a 14b with the strain of the 20g comp wheel they don't...
  24. what can happen from over torquing your head studs??

    When you overtorque above 15% of recommended which in this case would be about 95 ft/lbs you basically turn the fastener into a rubber band. Some of the fasteners will stretch and you will have uneven torque. Add heat and pressure and head gasket blows and the head can even warp. I made this...
  25. why is everything messed?!

    Unfortunately these cars are very labor intensive to own and maintain. If you would like to turn some wrenches the resources are out there on what and how to do. If not, another make and or model might be more reliable for you. :dsm:
  26. Timing marks fixed but hesitates

    I would double check that valve timing. :dsm:
  27. Where can I buy a longer slave rod?

    I have responded by PM. Email at [email protected] if need be so I can get you the part. :dsm:
  28. Just ordered ACT 2900 kit...very confused

    My new 2900 PP has a ACT PN # MB-010XX. :dsm:
  29. Upgrade clutch fork?

    I use this clutch fork and I would never install anything with greater than 2100 lbs. with out this upgrade. I also run a welded clutch pedal with Taboo brass bushings. :dsm:2900/6puck
  30. ACT Street Disc is a piece of shit.

    I though it was just me having ACT problems. They can't handle the claimed torque. The mods that must be performed for them to work at all are expensive and time consuming. I'm currently sending back a 6 puck thar sheared off the center rivets with 2900 miles of street driving. Yet I keep...
  31. Where can I buy a longer slave rod?

    Y ou can get them at Taboo Speed Shop for $32. I have one that I'm no longer using I will sell you for $20(from Taboo).
  32. What JDM tranny do I have?!?!

    I'm in the same boat. I have a w5m332upge. I believe that you and I both have EVO 2 or 3 transmissions which have a 5.4 final drive and not the 4.9 we require. We need a JDM reference chart or vfaq on this very subject. Finding info is difficult. :dsm:
  33. how can you tell if a tranny is a jdm?

    What are the #'s on the tranny?
  34. bent clutch fork?

    My Clutch fork was bent not broke. It flexes every shift because it's not made to push that much pressure. Another culprit is the pivot ball( look at the back side of the clutch fork, mine was all wallowed out from the pivot ball). Next get under the dash and move the clutch pedal with your...
  35. bent clutch fork?

    I had some success with a longer slave rod. It's kind of a bandaid fix but you can install it in 10 minutes. Also how is your clutch linkage. 2600's eat clutch linkages also. I had to switch to brass bushings and a welded pedal to get the ACT clutches to work(also the upgraded shift fork as...
  36. bent clutch fork?

    If you use 2600 or higher you will bend your shiftfork. Your symtom will be that you will not get full disengagement of the clutch I.E. grinding into every gear. Taboo makes an excellent replacement that will cure this. :dsm:
  37. jdm trans compatibilty

    Does anyone know where to obtain the key to the jdm transmission letter codes( the four letters that follow the w5m332). So that the final drive gear ratios can be determined. :dsm:
  38. jdm trans compatibilty

    I have a w5m332upge jdm transmission. Can anyone tell me whether the gear ratios are compatible with my 92 GSX?
