Can someone explain how the bypass keeps the right oil pressure in the turbo? I was going to use a .067 nitrous jet as a restrictor, but this looks like a better way.

My boost/vac gauge reads between -.5 and -.7 bar at idle. is this a good reading? Also, i think my EGR is bad. Is there any way to test it? thanks anton

To the OP: I would get the turbo brakes. Here is a writup for the turbo brakes which is what I would go with. :thumb: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-suspension-brakes/185350-guide-13-1-4-piston-brakes-1gs-cheap.html

get lots of black and silver engine paint and use it. good luck!

If this is your daily I would not do any extensive fg because the car will stink for weeks unless you let the whole dash cure outside the car. Trust me ive been there

When we rebuilt my motor we bored to 20 over. The bore it came with when I bought the car was 10 over. I thought that was weird.

I paid 640 for honing, boring, deck milling, ultrasonic clean, crank polish, a full head job and some small stuff like stud repair and such. This was all done by a guy who builds 50000 dollar porsche engines. I thought it was a good deal.

I go to VT and had to go back to school this past monday so all this took 12 days.

So I found out that it is way too hard to mod the audi and realized that there was something else I wanted. On January second we purchased the GSX and after a 300 dollar tow bill the shell with a trashed motor came to my house. This was a deal of the century. I actually paid for the car the same...

That looks awesome man. I am in the process of building a 1g now. What FMIC is that?

just posting this to tell everyone about the ebay "ralliart" short shifter. I got it for 40 bucks and it is great. It IS the exact replica of the B&M at a fraction of the cost. If i had the money i would have gotten the B&M but its a lil over my budget for just a shifter. This shifter has no...

get an Orion H2 and a 1000w amp. It will come out to like 500 from ebay. Trust me, I shattered all the bulbs is my garage with the 500.1 Polk momo and a 10 inch orion h2. It makes my whole house shake.Anton

Supply and demand. People seem to not understand that. You can find a cheap GSX in parts where there are a lot of them. In PA there are loads of DSMs that sell for next to nothing. I was offered a 96 AWD talon with 80k for 2500. Why did i not buy it... i was a dumbass then.Anton

I promise to take a sledgehammer to that car if i ever see it. Other then that....I am at loss for words

why would you tell someone to vent to the atmosphere?just wonderingAnton

Same here. Always gives me a good laugh. Especially when i tell people i have a 10 in sub. Its an Orion H2. Lol-Anton-

Trunk space? Other then that it looks awesome. I wish i had a small enough sub to be able to fire it upward. I love the way that looks.

it will be loud as hell with a metal intake and a fipk. Blitz is my favorite ricer whistle though.

you should replace that bov too. and you have pm. Anton

yes it will

This is what i got for my setup.Intercooler core: 140 shipped 7 in by 26 in (xspower from ebay just like the pte small core) Pipes: Racing Solutions Intercooler builder kit 45 (2 U bends, 2 90s, 2 45s), 3 in pipe for MAFT intake 15 Couplers: 17 per foot 4 ply silicone ( got 2 feet) Clamps: t...

I dont know all about that. Synchroshift II made my trans shift like butter. I got it for free too from a BG rep along with some other oil additives. I love this stuff.-Anton-

I didn't do one for some time now. I should! The noise sound like a loud swoosh as boost is building followed by a blow off sound of the valve. It flutters on low boost... grrrrr!

EBAY -- search "trading circuit" in titles and descriptions -- find some Infinity or Alpine components there. They sell Circuit City's returned items. Most of that crap works well. Thats how i got my system for like 100 bucks. 6.5 components, 6x9, and 4 channel amp.-Anton-

WHAT! is this a 1g thing. My ECU resets after the battery has been disconected for about 30 seconds. And by that I mean the car loses fuel trims and runs like crap (during idle). I may be horribly wrong though.-Anton-

2 inch drop will give you about -2.3 -- -2.5 in the back and -1.8 or so in the front. You want to get a camber kit. If you dont want to do that go to firestone and buy their lifetime allignment plan for 100 bucks and get your tow fixed. When you lower a car your tow gets out of line too and this...

So i finally replaced the stock 2g valve with a blitz dd that came off of a supra. I rigged up a flange out of a plastic filler neck and some epoxy (works well for now). I recirculated it by blocking off the lower port and the top ports and forcing a tube in the mail port. Because this is a dual...

I was driving to 7-11 today and everything seemed fine. After a left my house the car seemed like it was dragging (as if something was pulling the car back). I had to stop at a light and it just started stalling. I had to keep it at 4000 just to get to a parking lot. It seemed like a IC hose...

I got a small one from them. Pressure tested to 17 psi and then the pressure tester popped off so i didnt go any more. The one i got looks like the pte small core. Only thing that worries me on xspower cores is that they look like the bars are glued tigether instead of being welded and will...

It will be extremely hard and time consuming but if you do all the work yourself and use some junkyard parts you may be able to do it for cheaper. One of the mods on DSMCA.org did this to his eclipse. If you can get a hold of him you can ask all the questions. I think dsmca is dead though.-Anton-

Make sure your gauge is not stuck on 10. Get a hand compressor and hook it up to the line that goes to the gauge and see if it will go past 10.-Anton-

My car was doing the same crap. Do your RPM drop when you turn on the AC at idle? If this happens then its either the battery, alternator diode or the voltage regulator. I fixed my problem when i got a new alternator and a yellow top battery. Do you have a system (subs) in your car. If you do...

Get a logger. Its the first thing you should have gotten.Anton

LOL. Dont you love the 2g tranny. Mine did that too, but then... i got some BG Syncroshift II and it shifts like butter. Thats what you should do. Oh and by the way... if you catch a BG representative doing his rounds you can talk him into giving it to you for free. All i had to do was put on a...

He should really get one for a 1g since the pipe locations will not line up and the 2g smic is way worse then the 1g. If he cant afford a new one... which is like 10 dollars on ebay he should get some metal epoxy and seal it up.-Anton-

Dont get an ebay body kit. They are cheap as all hell. Most dont fit right, made of fiberglass which will spider crack your paint every time you look at it wronk and will chip. Get a front bumper from ebay (the 2gb OEM). You can get those for cheap already primered. If you look on the...

You can get it from the dealer still i think. Give your local mitsu a call and see if they have one. This is not the best way to go since you will pay a buttload for those. If you have a costco membership you can buy some for like 150 from them. Costco works with a company that makes real nice...

That thing is supposed to have a shutter type deal on it and a foam filter as far as i remember. I would suggest blocking it off if its leaking. My exhaust was getting into mine so i dynomatted mine over when i did my trunk. Just seal it up with something.-Anton-

Looks good. The reason it looks like it needs a drop is because you have skinny ass tires. You should have gone a size bigger for the sidewall. Other then that looks awesome. I have konig holes. I dont think many people have those on here.-Anton-

sounds like the crap i have to deal with once in a while. What you should probably do is get the Larson hose kit from RRE and replace all your vac lines. Do a boost leak test and replace the PCV valve and the fuel filter. If you have not done this yet replace plugs and wires. Get the NGK 6es anf...

why are you running 8 psi?

Valentine all the way. Best detector out there. Has a false alarm indicator when all arrows light up.-Anton-

Usually you will loose performance and the acceleration will be choppy as hell. If the car runs like shit then its either a boost leak or fuel related

Are you kidding? The 3g interior sucks compared to 2g. I think the Golf grows on you though. I like the white ones, but i would never trade it for my eclipse.
