hey dude, jus some tips to not blow your motor by mistake.1. install your wideband, before the turbo. it will save you millions of headaches, and keep you from boosting lean and blowing shit up.2. after installing your wideband, you need a data logger setup. this will track your afrs...

i believe the stage 2 is a 5 angle valve job and slightly larger porting job. the runners may have different angle variations to increase flow. other than that...the valves and springs retainers compelte the package....

hi donnie, i think i know you from somewhere lolyea its 11 hours away from me... i have a video of the car running, has some lifter tick, but engine sounds strong. i gotta figure if i want to kill a weekend making the drive there and back...and if i did that id just rent a trailer and bring...

its in rear wheel drive mode, the rear wheels are spinning with any throttle past 3k rpm...ive come to the conclusion, either the spider gears have stripped...(unlikely but who knows til i pop it open)i think im gonna scoop it up regardless...i got down to $1000 bucks and its about 500 to...

so im about to pick up a 98 eclipse with a broken automatic trans...its currently in rear wheel drive , and the trans feels like its slipping...i did some reading, but whats the best option?can i just get the vcu welded and itll be fine? i see diff lockers for sale, would this also do the...

Did you test for spark? Pull a plugs and wire, and try to crank it over while laying the wire over a ground. It should fire.Check your fuses....Electrical problems are always a PITA.

I got him down to 1300. He still pushing its a great car and cheap to fix. If he drops to 1000 Im going to take it.

Well how much do you want to spend? Stay away from no name subs, yea they are cheap, but they sound like shit, will get you laughed at, and you will embarass yourself. You get bass to bump it.You can get a set of kicker or alpine subs in a couple weeks at a great disocunt for black friday...

A local used car dealer has a 2 tone red/black 1g fwd talon for sale. They are asking 2800. I think I can work him down, but Id like some opinions first.It has some issues, motor mounts are shot, interior is horrid, it wants to stall when you let out the clutch or come to a stop, engine...

Id like to add some input for the Getrag gearbox.The trans itself holds an insane amount of power, but the weak link is in the transfer case and output shaft. 3sx.com has 300m output shafts and upgraded xcase housing or braces to make sure it doesnt explode when you rip it.In a 5spd, 2nd...

Has anyone tried using the welded awd trans with xfer case and just mating a diff rear end at the driveshaft? Say from a high power rwd, like camaro or older mustang. POSI ftw. This may be an upcoming project in my near future, as I think 1g bodys look like drift cars anyway.

Thats sad, I usually leave my tools on the sidewalk while I do test runs around the block and I havent lost a single piece yet. Someone is definetly hating on you in your neighborhood.

I posted there too just tried to get a solid answer. Both forums are knowledgable of turbos, but dsm seem to use a wider variety.

Its the rear off my stealth. Never was on my dsm.I got a big 16g on a 1g dsm hiding in the back of my yard right now. snapped timing belt so its gonna need a new head. no time to fix the damn thing.

If this is true....ouch.I only ran this turbo for less than a week (150 miles or so) since it started making turbo squeal.Lesson learned and first turbo blown. Gotta put this ona shelf haha

Forgot to mention this was off my twin turbo stealth. I was told they were stock turbos (9b), but when I bought a stock replacement 9b, I noticed the fins were different. The 9b fins sit flat instead of having the curved outside edge.

What kinda turbo was this before I blew it up? The comp housing has TD04 on it. I dont know where the piece of that fin is.

bump id love some thought on the subject

My friend has a 2g GS. 4" catback and cams.On flat ground, the car moves compeltely normal, except for a rattle that sounds like its coming from the trans area. At first I thought it was the downpipe without flexpipes rattling against the bottom of the engine/trans. The noise has been...

If it sounds like a really loud lawn mower check your ic connections by the turbo. You are hearing it boost but the boost isnt reaching your engine. Your computer is adding the extra boost fuel, but theres no air so your pig rich over 2k or w.e and it will stutter, die, fart, and stall like you...

No wonder your left side neighbors hate you.Personally, f them and keep adding more to your collection. You got more parts than autozone :DIt does look good though.Who needs couches when you got bucket seats :D

Im selling 2 pairs of green led windshield washer fluid spitters. They add about 20 hp.I also got a set of blue ones that add 35 hp. They are carbon fiber.

Intercooler + pipes Ebay = 300$ Greddy/Dejon/any other name brand = 1000+$Local exhaust shops can custom weld and fit an exhaust for you for cheaper than a greddy + shipping.In the short run (1-2 years) your ebay investments are great, cheap, and best bang for the buck upgrades...

You have a million dollar lawsuit right there.Get rich.

Ok i just got home from work and had to put this up here.My manager walks into the bathroom while I was washing my hands. There was 2 people using the stalls. One guy comes out and leaves without washing his hands. The other guy has been in the bathroom for quite a while, which is why the...

Anyone going down tommorrow?I hear there might be a new meet spot down by the new applebees and pollo loco on tonnelle ave by 91st st. Its not really that big yet tho.

Weird because when the trans was apart, it looked like the clutch was almost new. I dont know know what it looks like new or used, thats what I was told by the rebuilder. He put a clueless face on when the smoke came out. Kind of looked like when I blew my hg on my 420a but the smoke was grey...

Pulled the tranny and had it rebuilt by a friend of mine. We put it back in and its works! The synchros were all kinds of broken. 1st gear had no teeth left.Small problem now in reverse. If you rev too much while letting out the clutch clouds of smoke come out. Light grey color and smells...

holstien and 61st? is that on river rd or up the hill in wny?anyone goin down thursday ima bring down the stealth

Ive taken the car to 4 places so far. Everyones telling me its an internal problem.Im guessing its the synchros but what else? Since first and second have been grinding im going to need gears too most likely. Not sure though, since when it does catch the gear, it doesnt pop out, grind, or...

Removing the head would make the job so much easier. Say your doing it without removing the head, and you get the first 4 studs done, and the rest are seized. Your screwed with half arps n half stock studs. Then you gotta pull the head.If you think you can do it, and your fingers are...

Like I said dont do burnout and rev engines. The previous weeks fun caused nobody to even hang out this week. I used to be down there every night a few years ago, theres patterns the cops follow. Its also the last week in April, edgewater gotta hit that quota.On my way home from school I...

Im sorry thats what I meant 225/40/18 with 225/45/17. Will it work or bad things?and also for a spare can I use any rim thats 45/17 or it has to be 225 aswell??

Does 225/45/17 and 225/50/18 equal the same size tire?My recent purchase vr4, came with 2 bald front tires and 2 60% rears. You think the damage has been done already?

I removed the linkage completely today and put it back in. Problem is still the same so the linkage seems to be fine.Another method to get the car into 2nd gear is to hold the clutch down, shift to first then second. It takes between 1 and 3 attempts to actually grab 2nd. I feel it in the...

3rd 4th 5th and reverse work perfectly. I can downshift 5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd, or upshift without any special moves. Its just 2nd and 1st.Like I mentioned, I can get 2nd to work if I grind third purposely, by not pushing the clutch all the way, but I cant imagine this is good for a tranny.

Do you think the bad synchos could have messed the gears?When the gear is engaged be it 1st or 2nd, it does not pop out of gear. On a downhill i can hold the clutch to the floor in 2nd. Stop then continue rolling and pickup perfectly fine skipping first. Once i pull it out of 2nd or first, I...

My friend just picked up one horrible condition tsi awd and is begging me for help.The car came with the turbo and ic ripped out, no intake pipes but the manifolds were there. So we picked a nice t3/t4 turbo, front mount off ebay, and a whole pipe kit. Finally get the thing running into...

Guys before you decide to go to the commons lot, you should know a few things.1. The police are everywhere, do not burnout, do not run a stop sign inside the parking lot. You will be ticketed. I live up the hill from this place and I have a view of the lot from my roof. I see cops hiding...

I worked for an ebay company. They went bankrupt within a year.I worked for a pizzaria, they closed due to uncleanliness. (I was a delivery guy)I used to work at circuit city. They liquidated.Not much of a story but thats the past 3 years of my life.At circuit city, I was...

Bad news: No more eclipse for me.Good news: Dodge Stealth RT TT w/ red leather mmmm

Well its a dodge and theres a dodge dealership within 20 minutes of my hosue :Dand a local junkyard has a few of these just all broken up so parts may not be a problemthe engine is a pain, it is so cramped, but its kinda nice that the turbos are underneath. at quick glance one may not...

cool first postim currently registered to 3si.org....anyone know of a website with less ads for these cars?

Its heavy yes, but a cf hood n hatch save even more weight :DMy audio system will bring this into the light truck weight class rofl.

Bad news: No more eclipse for me.Good news: Dodge Stealth RT TT w/ red leather mmmm

Cheap boxes would be perfect if you are trying to save money. Try "securing" them with those stretchy tie down straps they sell at autozone. I got a bucket of em for 20$ assorted colors and sizes. They come with hooks on the end so you can just link em on anything solid and the box will stay in...

The amp is a Sony Xplod xm-d6000gtx. It is a monoblock, with 2 channel output. 1400 watts max 600 rms (300 to each channel). I dont believe it distinguishes between left and right though. My subs are Sony Xplod SVC. Not sure of the exact model but they are 12" and pentagon shaped with rubber...

After some experimenting, I noticed that lowering the front lowers the back aswell. I could bring the sound all to the front, but not to the back. The equalizer works alrite, but the sub control doesnt work. I am going to have to run 3 different sets of RCAs from what it seems. One for the...

You will only have problems when you drive your car into 3 or more inches of water when running a cold air intake that really stretches down to the ground. Instead of pulling in air, your intake pulls up water, and water doesnt compress. (aka new engine time)Make your own intake with...

Thought this might be the most proper place for this topic.I have this headunit, a sony monoblock and MTX 4channel.The back of the headunit has multiple outputs. 2 rca front, 2 rca rear, 1 rca sub and some video in and out.On the Sub Out, how do I hook that up to the monoblock? It...
