I dont post much on here but I think this would be appropriate to post. Over the last 1 1/2 years, myself and 417 Motorsports out of Springfield, MO have been building a 1989 BMW 325i with a stock 4g63 (6 bolt) short block. If you are a member on DSMLink forums, my build thread can be found over...

First off...I have to give a HUGE thanks to the people that helped me out today.Will Hatcher(Need2Boostpsi) on here, he has done all the tuning for the car and has spent tons of time on the tune making this thing run perfect.Nick and Steve over at Taliaferro Imports, Inc. ...Thanks for...

Well I finally got my car back together since I last made a pass at the track. Last time out, I broke my 3/4 shift rail, best pass on that track visit was 11.39 @ 128mph.I took the car back last night on the same boost. The only things changed since then were, I switched from the JMF Race...

Took my car to the dyno today....I cant turn the boost up cause there is no boost controller on the car. I have the big and little blue springs in my wastegate...Should be 23 psi but it holds 27 psi. I think it cause I only run a downpipe and no catback...So 27 psi on an hx-40 t3 .70 ar...

Alright...Ive been building a 95 GST for a while now. I have owned the car for about 5 years now. 10 months ago I took the car apart to start building it. The setup right now(which the car has run on it yet) is a hx40 full supporting mods, true LSD, slicks, etc.Two weeks ago I picked up a...

I have an EVO VIII fuel pump, will it fit a 95 GS-T?Thanks-Kevin-

Alright, So Im very close to finishing up my new turbo setup.....Its a hx-40 with full supporting mods(most in profile).Well, tonight I went out to the garage and installed the cams along with the cleaned big bore lifters. After peaking around a little bit I noticed just a tad bit of oil...

Alright, I have my suspension stuff layed out, painted and ready to go back on the car.....but I ran into a problem....I didnt even think to look when I took everything off the car....Which way is the correct way for the shock.......? This is a 2G GST.....The one in my profile....-Kevin-

Alright, well something hit me when the new year came around and I got a ton of motivation to work on the car....I think its cause I miss the feeling of boost....Well, my BEP bolt-on HX-40 housing came in...Called Nick from the Turbo Trader and he got me taken care of right away....And...

Wow, I completely forgot about this build thread. I made one on a local board that I update pretty often so I will copy and paste it here too....October 2008 - I finally bought a beater to drive while what I had planned to be just installing the suspension but little did I know again things...

Lets say I dont have the grease that comes with the energy suspension master bushings kit.....What can I use in place of that grease that wont deteriorate the bushings...?-Kevin-

This whole project started in February of 2008 when I decided to go against all odds and build a Fwd car. So I started to plan out what setup I wanted to do and what goals I wanted to achieve. I dont want a car that is just a dyno queen, I wanted something that could run down the track just like...

I had noticed a while back some of my suspension bolts were seized.....So i bought all new oem bolts from JNZ and control arms and I have a couple other things here and there...What type of grease can I use or what should I use in order to prevent this from happening again....?Thanks-Kevin-

Ive ordered about 1/3 of the parts for a big build Im starting and Im gonna do a few detailed write-ups...My question is, what site should i use for image hosting.....Ive been using my facebook but thats not gonna work.....Any suggestions..Write-ups I plan to do are-Complete...

Ive read a couple threads about this but they are all older.....I need recommendations for a digital camera for under $180. I have looked at a few canons but thats about the extent of it.Thanks Tuners-Kevin-

Ok, So tonight me and my roomate went out to tune his car....Well, we got anxious and threw some E-85 in the bi***...It was a mix of about 2 gallons of 91 octane and about 6 gallons e85. ( The car is now gonna be strictly e85)I will start out by saying, the car pulls freaking hard at 24 psi...

Ok....First I will start by saying I have researched this quite a bit. Im working on a 95 GSX with minimal mods.The problem : The car will crank but It will not start. It turned over once for just a second then just dies. The car has slowly been showing signs of weakness upon first startup...

Well, I ordered new springs and new shocks. Eibach prokit and tokico blues to be exact. I need to order a few oem parts for the shocks. I have a diagram below. Basically, the metal sleeve that holds the shock mount bushings together seized to my stock shock. So please help me make sure I have...

I have a huge problem, my rear strut mount snapped to where the shock is not attached anymore.I have all the suspension pieces I need, But I have a huge problem. I use lugnuts that are key on the inside instead of the outside. Well, my key is stripped and I cant get the lugs off. I have...

Ok, So about a month ago I was driving and started to notice a clanking in the rear of my car so I decided to investigate. I noticed that I had broken the rear strut mount leaving the car only riding on the spring in that corner. So I ordered the eibach prokit, tons of new bolts and washers, and...

So ever since I put on a 1g throttle body I start my car in the morning and get a 2500 rpm idle. I dont get any idle surge what so ever but if I tap the gas it will bog for a second then come right back up. After the car is warm it idles right around 850 and I dont have any more problems.I...

Ok, so heres the deal.When I rev my car up in between 2k and 3k there is a god awful noise coming from the timing belt/head area. It sounds like lifter tick but on mega steroids. I know for a fact it is not the lifters cause I just put in revised big bore lifters.I thought that it was...

I had noticed I was leaking antifreeze from the water feed line to the turbo. I need to buy new crush washers but I had an idea......Would it be safe to use brass barbed fittings and fuel line for the coolant hoses to and from the turbo? My only worry is that the heat will expand the...

I am in need of the front lower rear control arms/ball joints (the boomerang style one). I was just looking at the CAP's program on MachV's website and according to it, you can just order the balljoint and not have to order the whole control arm.http://machv.com/frsuarmandme.htmlI have...

I am looking at getting a little more horsepower out of the stock t-25 and was wondering if anybody knew anything about Pacesetter exhaust manifolds. I am looking for something rather inexpensive but not ssautochrome cheap. I need some suggestions.

Alright, So i just ordered the energy suspension master bushings kit, eibach prokit springs, tokico illuminas shocks, new rims and tires.....My original plan was to install the springs/struts/bushings kit all at once then get the car aligned...Im thinking now that maybe I should wait until...

My tps sensor is not set right.....My car is idling at about 400rpms. I go on spring break tomorrow and I just need to get my car back to my house and i can fix it.Ill be going 160 miles.....None of these will be at more than like 30% throttle.Will this hurt anything???

Alright, So I installed a 1G 63mm throttle body from Steve Monroe (throttlebodys.com) on my 2G and now I have some problems.1) My idle has finally worked itself out kinda. When I start the car on a cold day, it revs up to 2400 rpms and sits there for a little but it will eventually drop back...

I have been monitoring everything in my logger very closely lately. I have noticed two things that im still confused about.1) . My logger always shows 0 for the airflow value. How come its doing this?2) . I thought the logger showed O2 voltage in units like .91 or .93 . Mine seems to...

I need to buy a wide band quick cause Im about to get a Keydiver Stage 3 chip. I am looking at either .....PLX DM5 Gauge comboorAEM EUGOI want some feedback on both of these. I know the EUGO logs in dsmlink but what about the PLX device? Is one of these more accurate then...

Alright so I put in a walboro 255Hp fuel pump and rewired it to the battery. When I put on my blinker you can hear the fuel pump losing voltage when the blinker flashes.Also, when I start my car, one of my belts squeaks real bad for about 10 seconds, could this be my alternator belt is to...

I want to buy an Autometer EGT gauge but I want to use the TRE probe cause everyone says its the best one.Should I buy the kit from Autometer (gauge, wiring, probe) + the TRE probeORShould I buy just the Autometer gauge + TRE probe and maybe a few feet of EGT wiring from TRE.Im...

Alright, well I think I have come to a point were I need to make a big decision.First off I drive a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. The car as of right now has 122,000 miles on the body and about 22,000 on a rebuilt 7 bolt (I know, it was stupid). I have had this car for about 4 years now and...

Ok....Some people may have seen my last post about how I was looking for a job.Well, most of you have probably heard of a place called Quintiles or a place called BioKinetic.If you havent, the basics of it is you go in for a weekend and they try a new pill(medicine) and you as well as...

Well right now I am a student going to Missouri State University in SpringField, MO. I am in need of a job, preferably in the evenings.Where did you guys/ladies work at throughout college if you attended.

Help me make my final decision.I have tokico Illuminas and now i need to order springs.I am gonna go with either....Eibach Prokit or H&R Sports. Help me Decide which one!!!!!With either of these, will I need a camber kit and also which kind.Lastly, will these fit 17x7 rims with...

Alright, So a local has a complete motor for sale but its been disassembled. He is saying that it is a 6 bolt. My question is, how to I tell a difference in the block?I know the oil pans are different and the crankshaft has only six bolts but how do I tell if the block is actually a 6 bolt...

So I just rewired my Walboro 255 High pressure Fuel Pump using the VFAQ.com write-up......My question is how come when I use some accessories in my car the fuel pump sounds like its not getting as much power (its quiets down for a second)?Anybody?-Kevin-

I just installed a Aeromotive FPR and a walboro 255 pump....How do I get a fuel pressure reading without actually starting the car?-Kevin-

For christmas I got a Aeromotive AFPR and 255 Fuel Pump.It came with the adapter to that hooks into the fuel rail that utilizes the o ring gasket.... Then the 90* AN fitting screws into that, but the fitting wont screw into it. The fitting that screws into the actual FPR works but not the...

1g turbo cams vs 1g Non Turbo cams....Just picked up a 1g head but need to know if it has turbo or non turbo cams.Thank You!!!!-Kevin-

I am stuck between two choices......Choice oneorChoice twoMy main question is which one will hold the boost the best from a tial 38mm and which one will flow better. Anybodys opinions are welcome.

I was looking into the A-pillar triple pod from Lotek. (GaugePods.com). Does anybody know if these will hold the greddy 52mm gauges. I had heard these were deeper than autometers. Also just to make sure %100, these completely replace the stock pillar right.And yes, I have already read some...

Alright, So i just installed my ported big 16g with the 34mm flapper... I have the boost controller set to about 14psi cause im on stock fuel system, but it seems like when I shift the wastegate is sticking open for a second or two then closing. Im running an o2 dump with a 2.5 downpipe and 3in...

A short video I found of slow motion small explosions.http://collegehumor.com/video:1713843-Kevin-

Alright, So I havent driven my car in about two weeks becasue i blew the turbo. Yesterday i got the new 16g on the car and went to prime the car. Everything went good until i plug the ignition plug back in. The car started for probably two seconds then died. So I kept trying and nothing. So i...

When I put about 15 psi of air into the system, my Greddy types bov started to leak. Now i have the screw set very lightly, But my question is, if it is taking 15 psi to open it, if im only running 12psi, will this ccause compressor surge cause it wont open all the way. Also will it help the bov...

Alright so I blew my turbo a week or so ago and I am installing a Big 16g But when I took my old oil drain line of the oil pan, the gasket is like sealed to the oil pan.So my question is do i just leave it and add a new gasket with it on there or do I try to get it off. Im scared to scrape...

Just wanting to get some numbers on how long a Big 16g will last being boosted no more than 15psi and having the oil changed rigorously. The reason i ask is because i do a lot of highway driving and rack up the miles but i dont boost it very much.
