So, i let my friend drive my car Saturday night. He was trying to have a little fun and overreved the shite out of it, missed a gear and literally grenaded the pressure plate, which took out my bellhousing, fp intake pipe and the fp red turbo too cause the intake pipe bits went you know where...

Sadly, the 1G hatch seal is no longer in production, and its also a pain in the ass to find a good, used one these days. I happened to be in the junk yard this morning, and found a Stealth with a perfect hatch seal and said to myself, what the hell, this looks to be the same extrusion as the 1G...

Ive done a lot of searching but havent been able to find any info regarding this issue. This is a friend's car, not my own, and I havent gotten to actually look at it yet. All Ive been told is that he installed a new clutch and afterward, when attempting to back out of his driveway, the steering...

So, I went yo the Dyno at Emerald Coast motorsports in Destin, Fl Saturday. Did several pulls while playing with my cam gears. First run at 27 PSI only made 368 WHP or so with the exhaust advanced 10 and intake retarded 2. Boost stayed at 27 psi with timing beginning at 7 degrees around initial...

So, as the title states, Ive removed my 2G maf that ran perfectly and put an evo maf on. I used the settings below to compensate for this maf which are the settings in the factory EVO code. Fired up the car, and its got a strange issue now. Itll sit at my set idle of 900 RPM, then slowly dip to...

Okay, so tonight, I decided to do a boost leak test, as I usually do every three months or so. Put my regulated setup on and put a steady, regulated 30 psi into the system. BOV line leaked a bit at teh blow off valve, nothing a new ziptie didnt fix. Anyway, went to fire her up, and noticed it...

So, my clutch died at the track yeaterday, and my friend has a brand new Competition Stage 2 clutch for 250.00. Anyone think itll hold up to an fp red around 27 psi? I wont be launching the car anymore. I dont want to go back to an act 2600 because of all the parts it destroys and Im afraid of...

So I just got this thing on today. The thtee week wait was worth it. After getting everything together and firing her up and checkng for leaks, I got the boost dialed in at 26 psi and took the old bi*** on the interstate for a third gear pull with the logger. Holy shit I almost pissed myself...

So, when I got the car put together, I rewired the alternator from the B+ post to the battery fuse with 2 awg wire (I had some laying around), then 2awg from the fuse to the battery. Ive got the high output, Canadian spec alternator. Ive also got an Autometer Sport Comp volt gauge, which is tied...

Hello, everyone. Ive got the new fic 1100cc injectors, the plug and play, high z style. I have the data sheet that came with them, however, Im not sure how to gauge a good starting point for deadtime. Ive searched everywhere but it seems that very few have these injectors. Any suggestions...

So, I pulled my transmission tonight to install my new Southbend clutch, amongst other things. When I went to remove the passenger side axle, I noticed that there is oil leaking out of the seal. Not pissing out everywhere, its just enough to lightly coat the boot on the cv, and a little around...

So, Ive had this car up and running for a few years now, and Ive always noticed that there would be some oil built up on the filter housing over a period of a month or so, and Id just clean it up by blasting it with soapy water and a hose. It never left puddles on the ground, but it certainly is...

So, a couple months ago, I was pulling a log, and I noticed that my WB gauge was reading lean in the 12- 13:1 range at wide open throttle (Im targeting 11:1 AFR in that load range). I backed off the throttle right away and began to troubleshoot. Wideband is an LC1, installed per instructions...

First off, I wasnt really sure where to put this, since there isnt an "Oh $H%T" subforum. Long story short, Im working on a 6G72, SOHC engine. When I went to remove the hydraulic tensioner, one of the two bolts snapped off flush with the block. Now, the hydraulic tensioner bolts to this motor...

So, Ive got a 1G that is going to need a new thermal expansion valve. I know exactly where it is located, Im just trying to find out if anyone has been able to get it out without pulling the dash and the entire hvac assemblies out. Ive done some serious searching throughout the net and so far...

Ive been using the ACT 2600 clutch with a street disc for roughly a dozen years now and I believe its time to end this relationship. Sure, it holds up nicely for what Im doing with my car, but the gorilla pressure plate is destroying pedal assemblies and I am fed up with going through the hell...

First and foremost, all the USDM Evos come with the rear differential configured to provide far less lockup than the diff is capable of. This, in my opinion, is because US drivers are sissies and dont want to hear the diff chatter when making low speed turns, and also need a car that will...

First off, the problem here is the FIAV and only the FIAV, its been proven already to be the culprit, Im just trying to find out what within the FIAV assembly has failed and what to do about it.So, I was performing a routine boost leak test on my car, and happened to notice that the...

This is not a review of this product, I am only trying to come up with a fix for an issue that has been bothering me for quite some time now. Ive had Fidanza cam gears for a while now. I dont have any real problems with these, such as stripping bolts cause I use an "inch- pound" torque wrench...

So, Ive got the Ostrich and ECMLINK cable all plugged into my laptop, in the car and configured, running properly. Ive just got a few questions regarding the setup, as I have not found any useful info during my searches. I am using the DSM ADX file, availible for download on the TP website...

Hey, Ive been looking and havent been successful in finding an answer to this one, probably because noone's tried it yet as these are still relatively new and not many people need injectors this size. Im looking to convert to E85 soon, and I might as well just buy the biggest injectors I can get...

Hello, I just bought a third DSM, this time a 93 Laser RS awd. I am going to be restoring this car and its already in great shape, exept for this side trim piece on the passenger side of the car. The part Im referring to is the one circled in the picture. My problem is, I have searched about 90...

Hello, all. Well, I had my pedal assembly welded a while back to correct the usual issues. It worked okay for a year or so but now Ive got slop again somewhere else in the assembly and have decided to just swap assemblies since the old one is already welded and there is no...

Hey, Just a few photos, just wondering what you think. Keep in mind that the ebc and tt will eventually be relocated into the center console and a few changes still need to be made under the hood. And I apologize for the blurry photos but it was my cell...

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to share my track time and see if Im doing okay for my mods at the track. My best time was as follows:60' - 1.89trap - 85 mphet - 8.3I will try and scan my slip soon. This was with bald Good Year street tires, 5500 rpm stutter...

Okay, I couldnt find any answers to this issue, so here goes. My car is always too rich throughout its operating range. Not rich enough to blow clouds of black or stall or stutter, but enough to where my gas mileage is crap, my wideband reads 9.0:1 at wot, and when i burn chips for...

Okay, I cant seem to find any answers to this, so here goes. I recently hooked my tt speed sensor wire to my ecu to play with the 0 to 100 km hr function and what not and the problem Im having first and formost is that my tt reads exactly double my actual speed. Second, my speed sensor...

Hello, ive searched for days on this with no satisfactory answers, so here i am.First, my car is really rich under boost. No sputtering or anything like that, just a tiny bit of black fuel smoke @ wot and fuel smell when i come to a stop at an intersection. My mods are in my profile and im...

So, i put a new engine in the car, removed cruise, air conditioning, power steering, and relocated bat to trunk. Get car running, but it doesnt idle for crap. Logger says its the mass and ive got a cel, but the thing is, when i hit the throttle the cel goes off. During the time the cel is on...

Hello, im having a bit of trouble with my new engine. I bought a rebuilt longblock from Kar King and they did a good job on it, but here i am cranking it over w/o plugs and no fuel to prime up with oil before start up, and its not getting any oil. I even pulled the oil filter bracket off and not...

Ok, so im driving to work yesterday and its raining like hell and all of a sudden, my cel comes on, so i check my logger and its the knock sensor. So, when i get to work, i check it to be sure it didnt come unplugged somehow and its plugged in. I just replaced it because i was getting phantom...

Hello there. i get 43 counts of knock at any throttle point below 3000 rpm. When i get past 3000, let off the gas then hit it again, wow, no knock. I know my lifters are a bit ticky, have new 6es plugs, no boost leaks, however, two of my new plug wires came apart where the boots hook to the...

Hello there. Well, my car just doesnt feel as fast as she should be, you know? First off, some info.1. Just did compression test, yielding 150 psi across all 4, this was with 4 revolutions of the engine per cylinder.2.Motor pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle, which i believe is due to...

HELLO THERE. IM HAVING A problem with my fuel trims, big time. mods are in my profile but the most recent things ive just done is put my wally 255 back in, installed an obx (i know its not a good one) afpr, and an 18g turbo. im not getting any more than 1 count of knock at 17 psi, im getting...

:mad:hello there. i bought a camber correction kit from dme and upon trying to remove my stock camber bolts, one came out easily and the other wont come out no matter how hard i try, its just simply bound to the metal sleeve within the rubber bushing. :barf: ive tried heat, hitting the...

hello there. i just bought an obx afpr used with guage for 37.50. im wondering, what size adapter flange do i need for the fuel rail? i mean, what size line can i just hook up from one of these adapter flanges to the afpr? ive searched around this site but havent found what im looking for and im...

hey there. does anyone have a rear driverside axle they could sell me? i need it badly. this is the second time that ive broke this axle while launcing my car. damn 3 bolt rear ends!! well, if anyone can help me out, please do im desperate here. thanks, charles.

hey there. i recently discovered that i have no honeycombs in my mass. not just the little ones missing either, ALL OF THEM. :eek: car runs fine, exept for a random little misfire type "putt, putt" sound at idle that has went away since ive installed my new safc 2. now, this is making me run...

hello there. im just wondering what would cause me to get 15psi in 1st gear all the way up to the redline, then get a spike to 13-12 psi and level off at 10psi through all the other gears? i did a boost leak test and got none in the ic pipes, but perhaps there is a leak in the tb area cause i do...

hey there. does anyone have a tranny mounting bolt they could sell me? i need the lower one thats behind the transfer case, you know, the one that bolts the tranny to the motor. i lost mine and havent been able to find one anywhere and it sucks. i just pulled my tranny cause i couldnt get it in...

hey, i am pulling my head cause i just got a brand new one from the machine shop. everything is off and i should be able to just pull my head off the engine, but im wondering if i need to take the arp studs out of the block or if my head will come off over them or not. also, if i do need to pull...

well, i have a jdm motor in my car and was supposed to race it tomorrow. well, i decided to dial in my timing and do a compression test. ive been really good to this motor. well, # 1 had absolutely 0, 234 had 160 even. i did a wet test on #1 and still nothing. my valves for the #1 cylinder...

:cry hello, i blew my h gasket and pulled my head, prepped my head and block for the new gasket and put my head back on. now, i had to go somewhere and asked my friend to torque down my head studs for me and after telling him what order to do them in, i left and forgot to tell him how much...

:( hey im really upset, i did nothing to this clutch, only launched twice after almost 300 miles of easy in traffic driving to break it in. raced twice after that, drove from grand junction colorado to powers, oregon, and about 400 miles into the trip, i had stopped to get gas and check...

hello there. i just finished an engine swap on my 90 awd tsi, and it runs great but my stereo, dome lights, locks, and horn dont work now. i put on a 3" exhaust and didnt hook up a ground that went from the down pipe to the underside of the car- could this be the prob? also, there was this tiny...

Hello there, i am wondering, my engine's low end is bad (smoking badly, needs rings, all that) and instead of paying tons of money for a rebuild, a friend of mine has offerred to give me a short block from a jdm motor he isnt gonna use and i want to take my head and all other parts off my bad...
