Would it be a good idea to hook up an oil temperature gauge into the oil return line to get an idea of how hot your turbo is getting? Would the oil in the turbo be there long enough to heat up to give sort of an indication?
Same thing here. I still feel like we're a few years away from moving out of the CUSA tho. We can regularly beat top 25 teams, but we're still losing BS games. We dont have the funding to move out yet. As soon as the UNC school system gets off their ass and gives us a fair endowment, we can...
Ok, this isn't your typical I'm done with DSMs thread. I'm not frustrated, nothing is broken, nor am I bleeding or stranded in an unknown location by my DSM.I happly part with my 2G marking an end to my three year endevour (see what I did there?) with Mitsubishi. I've learned tons. It's time...
^Yes, but I want to come back. I realize it's a never ending uphill battle between my pocket and my motor. Motors don't take compromises either, that ends up being more expensive.I absolutely don't blame DSM's or cite lack of quality at all. I actually enjoyed the car. Nothing is fun when...
This would be before I replaced the turbo, fixed tons of leaks, and discontinued running the turbo on 25 psi on the stock sidemount. Starts right up now.

Looks like your top 25 worked out like ours. We'll be seeing you soon enough. Dec 6th if you can clench your division. Actually, you're probably rape us. We have a two page injury list that includes 2 running backs, our all american MLB, our entire D line, 3 wide-outs, 1 TE, and 1 FS. These are...
Does your family own a pair of hedge clippers? I dont know how you expect rubber line to work, but it's not. You're going to have to get a bulk head fitting with 2 AN fittings.
If you're too cheap to buy good couplers, then you need to get a honda or some other N/A. If you do insist on buying cheap couplers from Home Depot or what-have-you, then atleast get the silicone 3-ply.If you are broke, try a local DSM board in the for sale section for a pipe kit. PVC/ABS...
I mean, you bought a used motor and you just want everything to work? These aren't legos bro. My car hasn't moved in a year and a half. I'm going to be backing out of the driveway tomorrow. I fully expect another $500 in repairs atleast. I'll be in NJ from the 1st to the 10th if you need/want...
One, dont use the cracked housing. That's just one more problem you're going to have to work around after the car is started. If it's cracked enough, it can affect idle. Look for a 7cm 16G housing. They're pretty cheap these days. Fits right on.Two, if you're not worried about downtime, go...
We're probably about even in power numbers. Im hoping to be flirting with 300 to the wheels on a 14b @ 25 psi. First I need some bigger injectors and a manifold. You're probably in the same boat. Good luck with break-in.
I hear you about the college student part. I'm a sophomore at East Carolina University. I'm trying to finish my talon, but my funding always seems to dry up before I can start road testing.
Do yourself a favor before you have it towed. Grab a jack and remove the drive shaft. If the t-case/center diff is locked up, the front wheel should turn (as you said).
I ran for awhile off the 255 + stock regulator. It was night and day when I finally bought the regulator. No more backfiring and stalling. it was amazing.
Maybe you guys are doing it wrong then? I mean, there are definately times when you have to replace things if you remove something else, but doing something like a timing belt shouldnt require replacing parts that aren't in the kit.
Think you got that backwards. Cold air boxes as in a cold air intake pull colder air from outside the car and prevent warm air from getting sucked in. I was wondering why he would reccomend that for cooling reasons.If you're going to try anything like that, put a couple of washers between...
Well, that would be backwards. But, correct.Same situation, take a knife and poke 4 holes in a garden hose. Turn the faucet on full blast. Now, put your finger over the end of the hose. A lot more water came out of those holes right? Your finger is the AFPR.
^What is a cold air box?As for the stock gauge, it kinda seems to stay centered dispite changes in coolant temps via logger. Today my car started for the first time and I allowed the car to idle until 200, then I put a shop fan infront of the car and the OE temp gauge didnt move dispite a...
Think of them like a small faucet. You control how much water (in this case, fuel) is let out via a screw. With the stock FPR controlling a 255lph, too little fuel exits the rail and causes 70ish psi of fuel pressure under idle...backfires, stalls, flames out the back, etc.Fuel does go...
Ok, so my car only idles when the cam sensor is fully retarded (pushed toward firewall?). The car hasnt run in a year and a half and just got started today. Any gas and she dies. Any ideas? Fuel pressure good, tps off a little, but good enough to idle, gas is new, maf good, CTS and IAT sensors...
