Nice dyno. Some cams and a better intake manifold would probably help keep that power up in the higher rpms.

Youd need to shave a full second off that ET before you have room to talk. 600s run 10s. Sorry but thats not impressive riding.

Uhh, this is exactly what I did. maybe you should quit playing moderator..

2gdanny, have you tested that yet? just wondering if its proved to be strong enough yet..

Theres dozens of threads here that answer your questions. quit being lazy and try searching before posting.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/181134-how-build-420a-stage-2-turbo-kit-under-1000-a.htmlthread reported

I seriously doubt that it would help at all.

'Tuner' doesn not imply 4cyl. it can in your head, but that's not the general concensus at all.The truth is that shep isn't the quickest AWD, 4-cylinder, or tuner. although im not sure 1MeanTSI knows this.

150 is right where it should be. Id be more concerned with a difference of 20 psi from cyl to cyl.

This isn't about 4-cyl only cars. he said "tuner" car.

Actually the quickest AWD Skyline is quicker than Shep. Not trying to discredit Shep, just pointing that out.

This thread pertains to the egr system on 4g63 cars. you might want to find a thread for the 420a cars. They are entirely different.

go figure, its always the asshole with the smokin hot girl, hitting on the next beautiful chick he sees. of course shes taken, so it your woman.

Can't we use the existing 11-page thread to discus how to wrap a pipe with a fiberglass ribbon?http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/9423-header-wrap-merged-3-8-thermal-dei-headers-exhaust.htmlAnd there's these too, if the OP didnt search first. I dont have anything to add that isnt...

DEI makes a steel zip tie. I never liked them though because you can only get them so tight. Worm clamps or safety wire also works.

Details of how to wrap something? Seems kind of self explanatory to me.This is hardly custom fab talk either.

I see nothing wrong with the STM fitting aside from it being just as restrictive of an orfice as the factory one.I also dont see a good way to drill and tap the VC. There's not much room to thread in a large fitting. And going larger is the whole reason in the first place. Welding on...

I supposed it really depends on the size of the turbine housing and a handful of other things as well. I'd be really surprised to see 50 psi of backpressure while running 25 psi boost on a 16g with say a 7cm turbine housing. But Ive never measured either, so I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure...

Type "crankwalk" into the search bar at the top of the screen. It's been discussed plenty around here. If you have any questions about it, then it's because you haven't bothered looking for the answers.

Our backpressure is usually a 1:1 with boost - or at least should be close to that.And what justifies $800 for used cams? "Real custom" or not, they are ground using the same cores and on the same machine as any other manufacturer. The only thing different is the grind specs, and that...

Also look into Turbosmart's E-boost.

Butchering is the same thing as "modifying", but only when you suck at it. The key is not not suck at it. Then the possiblities are limitless...

Why not sell the HKS BOV and buy a GReddy Type S or RS?And replacing the hood because of underhood scratches...? Seriously? Is this your first car?

Why the hate? Looks like fabulous fabrication and craftsmanship and an overall beautiful build. Even if it's just the gold color you don't like, it should be easy for any real "car guy" to look past that and drool over the rest of it...

99gst_racer used the DEI stuff a few years ago. Looks better than the orange stuff IMO.

Nope, not at all - other than maybe seeing some of those tacks in the bead. No biggie.

Either location will work. And the wall thickness is the same in both locations.

It says that because they're referring to the factory 1G j-pipe, which has a nipple for the wastegate accuator. Go ahead and add a nipple to your j-pipe. The walls of the tubing might be too thin to drill and tap, so you might need to weld on a bung.

Regarding quality control; I've seen bent crankshafts from Eagle, Scat, Lunati, and a few others. And I've seen bent and broken camshafts from Comp, Crane, Howards, and a few others. Quality control is NEVER 100% in this industry. Also keep in mind that "bent and broken" can easily happen in...

Sounds like a huge hassle. If it were me, I would have used the Moroso stud kit and fixed the damaged holes with a helicoil kit.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/appearance-interior-exterior/349188-valve-cover-studs.html

If it was going to come out, it would have already happened. Follow the advice given here and replace the axle and hub. I promise that replacing the two won't take another 4 weeks. :p

I've had several that a oxy torch and a 50-ton press couldn't separate.Time for a new axle and a new hub/wheel bearing. And anti-sieze the crap out of the splines to prevent it from happening again.

AMEN brother!

High pressure AN stuff is specifically different. The hose ends are steel instead of aluminum, and they asist sealing with a ferule (for non-crimped ends). Also, the hose is teflon lined.

Whereabouts in MI will you be?Many westside DSMers use WMDSM :: Home and most of the eastsiders use MIDSM.

We aren't getting the storms that you guys are getting, but it's been raining here for several days as well. Yesterday, we had mostly clear skies and sunshine - and rain nonetheless.I'm ready for some SUMMER!

Definitely doable.EDIT: pics in here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/appearance-interior-exterior/379312-custom-vent-gauge-pod.html

Not if it was done properly...Surely you don't think that every single weld ever made will eventually fail. :ohdamn:

No, you can't use anything relating to the rear drivetrain or suspension from a 1G on your 2G.

Very nice looking.So, it seems that this is basically the same thing as the Afco Scirocco - but with the added $700 internal oil cooler?

I have no idea what that means... But I doubt it's possible.During the install, it does mention "To use CAPS you will need one of the following versions of Microsoft Windows® :Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows 98 SE Windows ME Windows 2000 Windows XP"And after installation...

Does it exist?CAPS version 3.41 installed, but it won't let me open the program.

You're the man! That's exactly what I needed to read. :)

Thanks for the help man!One more thing - Can you explain the details of tcc lock-up? How does it physically work, and when?

So what's the reasoning behind limiting the overdrive gear based on temp?I've noticed that cruising RPM at a given speed can vary up to 300 RPMs between a cold converter and a warm converter. Is that normal or is it a sign of a converter issue? Also, it sometimes takes the converter a...

1) I notice that I dont have overdrive while driving on a cold start. It usually takes 30-60 seconds before it appears. I know several other vehicles do this as well, so I'm guessing this is normal? If so, what regulates it? Trans fluid temp?2) What are the signs of a failing torque...

Funny you say that.... It took you guys a built engine, 116 octane race fuel, standalone engine management, cams, SMIM, etc. to be in that range on that turbo.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-turbo-system-intercooler/208481-internally-gated-turbos-tested-dyno.html

I planed on rebuilding my trans myself because of the lack of funds and all the time in the world. Here is a little background information on what happend. For the longest time my car would grind to get into second unless i would double clutch it so i thought it was a syncro problem. I drove on...

stock and boost controller

yeah i am sure it is the turbo, but the thing that i dont really get is that this is the second turbo? granted the turbo on the car hasnt been ran in a year do you think that could have any thing to do with it. Like maybe that one is bad too?
