In his first post.

Hey all,I recently converted my internally gated evo316g over to an external setup by purchasing an external waste gate flanged o2 sensor housing that recircs back into the exhaust. I am unable to remove the old internal wastegate flapper because of the hole in the exhaust housing it would...

Hey, a bit of a back story here: I've been sitting on tuning this car for a really long time. My 2nd or 3rd mod was buying DSMLink but I haven't been able to really understand what to do with it to support my mods.I am going to post my current mods here so you don't have to look at my...

Auto RS T, thanks for your help.I have verified a few times that the timing marks lines up correctly on the cam gears. The project of replacing my CAS was began by me installing my new 264/272 combo. I also have been reading about being 180 out, and I'm pretty sure I'm not because I've...

Steve, I want to thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.I figured it out, well I got as close as I can. The stock is around 5.2 degrees according to DSMLink and my mark is just under the 5 probably like 4.5degrees. Turns out I had the CAS installed 180 backwards, I didn't see the...

I think I may have the idea but something's not right here.If the timing is set to 5degrees BTDC and I check it with the timing light it was showing it was exactly on the "T" mark on the crank pulley. You're saying it should be on the 5 degree mark (the first tick mark). Would that explain...

Oh, I got that idea because that's what you suggested for the original poster. You wanted to make sure his cams were set correctly before you continued with the diagnosis.

Thanks for the quick response.So what exactly is my problem? Maybe I'm not understanding the objective here. I am suppose to match the timing on dsmlink with the actual timing at the crank? 0 degrees? I sorta can't because it bounces around so much.I guess what you're saying is the GND...

I've gotta bring back this post, I'm having the same problem.I just got finished installing HKS cams and swapping over to a 1g CAS and I'm at the point in time where I'm trying to tune it. I have checked all of the timing marks and they look OK. I grounded out the timing with DSMLink and on...

I'm in Maryland and I have seen a very pretty Magnum cop car in Baltimore County. I don't know a lot about the crown vic but I thought that thing was REALLY fast, 250hp isn't enough to keep up with much at all anymore.

Hey, I've been driving the GST a lot lately and a storm caught me off guard while I was at work so I left it there for 2 days. It was an ice storm and today after spending 1 hour digging it out I noticed that my front drivers side tire feels like its bouncing. It's not horrible at slow speeds...

I had this problem with my last install, one bolt screwed up and I had to go buy my first tap and dye set. Like stated before it's M10x1.25 and you can find the grade 8.8 bolts at HomeDepot, so far they work fine for me.

Thanks for finding that post, I looked and didn't see anything.Unfortunately, I can't find any other companies that make an o2 housing that recirculates an external waste gate that's why I chose them. What I ended up doing is taking it somewhere to get another bung welded. DNP claims to put it...

Alright.. I just received my new DNP manifold and SLS o2 housing, however I have a slight fitting problem.The DNP manifold moves to a slightly different angle, and the o2 housing mounts the o2 sensor at a slightly different angle.. and the result is my o2 sensor touching a 2" water pipe and...

Wastegate actuators are pretty strong and idle/low throttle exhaust flow isn't going to force it open. I have a question for you, if the car is turned off completely is it still lose? If it's hooked up wrong you could be getting a air source from something weird.If it's a stock actuator which...

Dude the knock is making your power lag and you're going in the wrong direction. It should be obvious to you if the more fuel you add the worst the knock gets. Soooo... try taking it out?I have a feeling if a wise man posted right now he'd probably say set your boost lower and start your tune...

Okay, I've gathered all the info from this post but you guys are still ignoring that I've already did that. Please stop suggesting that.I removed the turbo this weekend (reluctantly, especially after finding 2 turbo bolts seized up) and found that when I bought the turbo "ported" they simply...

Yeah, pretty much.Unless they've changed it within the last 5 years, you have to go to court where the crime was commited, and for some reason that means you have to do it in his state.

Well, first off I would contact dsmsource.com and let them know about the situation immediately. They will most likely halt any more account activity from him if this is a legit problem. They may also be able to help you, it's not really their job and I'm not certain of their policy but I'm sure...

If a check valve leaks air during your leak test, then yeah it's bad they aren't suppose to leak air at all.I think you'd probably see a crack on it or something if were leaking, and if it were it's probably not a huge leak.I say, perform the ol' DSM taste test. Mark that sucker which...

Okay, I'm going to get a new manifold and a new o2 housing with the external waste gate that reroutes back into the exhaust, if I get that and I remove the flapper door, will I need to port the hole out anymore or can I just leave it where it is? It's a 34mm flapper door so I'm assuming the hole...

Yeah I have the 34mm over-sized flapper and it's ported, still having issues. I'm not trying to fix my boost creep with a different boost controller. I'm not even going to worry about this little turbo anyway, it's ridiculous all of the trouble it takes to make this thing hold boost. =\I'm...

I understand. I agree, it needs to be ported *more* than it is now, however when I loop it directly through it doesn't creep until 5-6k, it holds for over 3k rpm's. I can sorta tell where it's "trying" to set itself even if its for a second or so. I'm not getting any kind of response like that's...

I have already tried that. What it says there is I did that, and yes it does creep.. okay, but it holds at 11psi for quite a while before it creeps, okay.. So I can tell very well whether or not it's creeping anything passed 11psi and 18psi is where I want it. So, if it holds at 11psi for a few...

That, to me, appears to be a one way check valve used to direct airflow in one direction. If you remove it you should be able to blow through one direction and not the other, make sure you mark which side each peice of hose connected to so you don't reinstall it backwards, if that is what it is...

Alright, just to let everyone get the basics of my situation: I have a WHOLE lot of supporting mods to support a 16g @ 18-20psi, including the knowledge on how to get it to work. At this point in time I have gone through ~3 boost controllers and I have a good feeling the problem MAY lay...

Never seen a voltage meter that doesn't have an amp meter on it.. and visaversa

Okay, wow.. after re-reading your first post, I just realised my last post was if you were wiring to stock, sorry. I suggest wiring directly the battery (with inline fuse), or the first lead directly off of the battery to the inside of your car which should be somewhere near your MFI Relay...

First, you need to make sure the slimfans you purchased do not pull more amperage than your stock fans pulled. I cannot provide this information to you off of the top of my head. However if you post the amperage your new slimfans are pulling I will go outside and tell you what the stock fans...

boostedzxtt, if you have a chance, I'd remove the head before ordering another head gasket, just in case that isn't the issue. I'm not really sure why a blown head gasket would make a loud noise, I could understand how skipped timing could however.You shouldn't drive the car until you have...

I am basing my answer on an old-guy V8 trick.Typically when your exhaust is sucking in air it means that you have a blown head gasket.The "trick" is to hold a dollar bill up to the muffler and if it sucks and blows it's most likely a blown head gasket. Try a compression test to confirm...

Novablue454 gave you a very circumstantial answer. I'll broaden what he is trying to say: The feed to your MBC must come after the turbo and before the throttle body, preferably as close to the turbo as possible, which in most cases is on the J-Pipe for up facing turbos.If you could possibly...

I'm not sure if this is correct but.. 1) Low oil should cause more friction, and more friction is more heat. 2) If you were driving normally (not a lot of WOT), and it was spiking, then it may have caused you to run lean. That would have made you run hotter than normal, and maybe why it got so...

I tell people this all of the time. There's 2 things in your cylinder: Air and Fuel. You have increased one of those, and not the other.It's like breakfast cereal man, you got your corn flakes and you got your milk. You put in 3x as much cornflakes.. you need to go to the store and get some...

Why not? because that's not his question. His question was if he could turn a 14b into a 16g, not "what should I buy?"

What do I need to do to make the car start and drive away when its cold like every other car does? So far, pumping the clutch has helped a little.

Hey fellas, it's been a while since I've posted. I've been out on my own for a while, using that ol' search feature to recover my answers however I can't seem to find one for this.After my car sits all night and I start it in the morning, it takes 2 tries to turn over (known issue with the...

I'm actually ordering this Wednesday and will be installing it really soon. I've had my eye on this unit for a while. At this point in time in my DSM project, the $50 difference between the NGK and the next brand up means alot. I'll write up a review if no one else does before I get it all finished.

You all offered very good suggestions and I appreciate it, fortunately oldman is pretty much telling me exactly what I want to hear since I just bought a $300 air compressor and I want to play with it.I'm assuming since oldman said so, then the air from my reverse boost leak test will not...

I installed my VRS catback exhaust, meghan racing dp, and new o2 sensor housing a few months ago and ever since I've had a small exhaust leak. I can hear it, no one else can but I know it's there. The sound doesn't bother me so much, but recently the fumes that build up in the cabin are getting...

I believe that is phantom knock. I am experiencing the same deal right now and I believe it maybe somethings that I installed in my engine bay that I didn't secure properly.Do a search for phantom knock.

Thanks for posting, RedTurboEclipse. I like to keep up on my BOV-news. If you find any sound clips let us know. I'd like to hear that bad boy. (The real one)

I didn't wanna stomp on you bro, I just wanted you to explain yourself.A lot of people throw around "check for boost leaks" whenever someone posts a problem and sometimes it's unrelated. People will ignore it if it isn't explained why it's relative to their problem.Thanks for explaining.

It means he took a 1st gen 7 bolt and swapped it into a 2g.

Here's your spoon full of FAQhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164646

Welcome to the community, 2gntrbo.. I hope the guy that sold you the car bought another one =)You'll completely understand what 1g7bolt swap and venting to the atmosphere means in a few weeks =)

I really don't understand how a boost leak test will help him find a gas smell in his engine bay.
