Sheesh, if I knew these would be such a big deal I would have kept my biglady112 mounts before selling my Talon.

I wish I could say I did, but I really never got anything to make 100% sense. I wound up selling the car last summer. Different throttle positions at different RPMs yield too wide an array of trim numbers to get it all aligned perfectly... all on a stock 2g maf, i/m, and tb.

I've wondered this same question.

Haha, thank you! I hope so too, it could go either way... he is young and I tried to give him as much advice for the car as possible. We'll see!

So after 6+ long years I finally sold the Talon. I was 19 when I bought it bone stock from a used car dealer and a 19 year old just drove it away. I have spent countless late nights on that car and it was finally time to move on. This car brought many headaches, but also many fun times and I...

I will be, I won't be there next week (vacation), but the meet will be large. Last night wasn't that great because of the very cold weather, but it doesn't look like it will be cold next week.

All cars. We had a very nice turn out with a lot of impressive cars, can't wait for next week.

The White Castle Tri-State GTG meets are back... We had our first meet yesterday with an excellent turn out.White Castle Tri-State GTG Monday Nights @ 9 PM37 State Rt 17, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604-2801Facebook Event: White Castle Tri-State GTG Monday Nights 9 PM | FacebookI and...

It really would make zero sense to me. I just loosened the nuts on the gear and turned the cams 4 degrees each using a wrench on the cam gear bolt.

So I finally am adjusting my cam gears. I started off with +4 and -4 (exhaust/intake). Adjustment went fine, but now I'm getting noise (a whine sort of) from the cam gear area and my timing belt is tighter than it was before. Is it possible the belt is tighter now and causing noise? If so, how...

Yes I am.You have a very nice trap, what are you making at 3100lb?

In a full weight 2g AWD? I don't know if 500whp is going to trap 130 on a crappy launch.Car is still down although i'm a good way through with the trans. I have been so busy and the cold has been on and off (this weekend on).

That is true, but to trap 130 you have to be making very decent power. I'd say around 600whp maybe a little less?

There are two things that make me wonder though... One, I know someone very personally who had a 2.0 (better head and cams than my motor) and ran a bolt-on PTE5862sp (when they had those kinds of combos available) and he was running around 30psi on E85 and he trapped a hair under 130mph. So a...

Swapping out the housing would mean new housing, new manifold, new o2 housing and new/modified downpipe. I'm not convinced that I would be getting the airflow numbers that I should be just by doing that, so I am reluctant to do this. I have never tried adjusting my cams, but I doubt that I could...

I am running a Dejon Tool FMIC with smaller piping, 2g TB, and 2g I/M. I still don't think it should be that bad. I run the car at low 30's psi now and it is fast, but nowhere near as fast as it should be for the turbo. Compression numbers are fine also.

I run a Hafe manifold with 38mm Tial off of the manifold, nothing special.I haven't had the car on the road since late October, I broke 4th gear while doing a highway pull. I just got my trans back last week from Jack's, hoping to start putting it tomorrow.

I have been wondering this for a long time now and I'm finally going throw it out there... As many of you know, Euro cars are rarely ever self tuned and many of them don't have self-tuning options like we do. Because of this those drivers are forced to purchase flashes (or chips for the older...

Alright, I wound up buying a gallon of some cheap Pep Boys brand 80-90 gear oil and did two flushes with it and a little leftover MT-90. Last flush didn't really yield any flake. Took the car for a drive, 5th and reverse are shifting nice and smooth along with all other gears. The car is finally...

I was able to source some used parts to fix the trans. The trans is now all back together. I filled it with fluid, but had my doubts about the cleanliness of it, so I ran the car with the wheel off the ground, went through the gears a few times and shut it off. I then then popped the drain plug...

Spent about an hour trying to get the roll pin out without breaking anything. I don't know how to get that out (with the trans still in the car) correctly. I could only do it from outside to inside, because there is no room to do anything else. The roll pin did run into the slider. I had to...

Very good to hear you weren't on the road or in the middle of a pull when this happened. Post some pics when you pull the rack.

I'm still a little confused on how you remove the roll pin? Are you supposed to push it outward or inward?If inward, how? Because it seems like it would hit the syncros.If outward, how do you get a punch behind it with the syncros in the way?

I didn't know if you saw something specific in the pictures. I will take a close look and report back.I just checked and the reverse cone is definatley fine. My concern now is getting the roll pin out. You say I have to put it in reverse and put pressure on the reverse syncro? When I put...

That sounds easy enough. Is there a specific reason why I would need a new reverse cone?

After seeing the price of a cover, I'd rather just buy a new cover. I would probably get charged the same just to repair it. I don't weld and I'm not sure if any of my friends weld aluminum.I know these aren't set prices, but the 5th gear set here adds up to $261.91. Jack's lists the EVOIII...

Pulled the car in the garage and pulled the end cover. It seems to be exactly what was suggested before, it looks as if the nut backed off of the smaller gear causing all this. Here are the pics...Here is the indent where the nut cut into the cover...Here is the inside of the cover...

After looking at pictures of how the gear is held on and the location, I would be inclined to agree with you. I would be very happy if that's all it was.That would be great. I'll either pull the cover today or tomorrow and know for sure what is going on.

If something happened to 5th gear, would it be POSSIBLE that the cover could be welded/replaced and that 5th gear coudl be replaced without pulling the trans? The rest of the transmission was driving and shifting perfectly all the way home.

I wonder if I should pull the end cover on the trans first to see if I could just change the gear and cover? I don't have too much knowledge on transmissions.

I was fine tuning the car tonight with long 4th gear pulls to red line. I had just finished a pull, pulled over to tweak the map, and started slowly driving off. As I was driving I heard grinding. It sounded much like my bumper was grinding on the ground or on my tire. I pulled over within five...

Here is a log with MAF Comp zerod... I feel like the numbers always go crazy when I'm on the highway and a go very light on the throttle (between 50 and 100ish hz) and when I get around 200ish hz...

Just another LSD Insert. I had one and I was only making low 300s whp when I blew my open dif on slicks on my 2nd launch. Blew a tooth right through my bell housing. These don't add any strength to your dif, they only give you a little bit more traction.

I have never been able to dial in my injectors the way I would like them. I have managed to get my LTFTs to a point where they are in a somewhat acceptable range, but the other night the went askew which bothered me. Currently, the only way I can even get the LTFT to be even CLOSE to acceptable...

35 is very high for pump gas. Suprised.

I actually just filled the car up on some old 93 octane. I wanted to drive it around a little more lately and the E85 was getting annoying. I'll probably be on pump for a few tanks. I'm going to try to dial in the car and do some tuning tonight so I should have some pump gas numbers for you.

There are main two places by me. One is south of me where I will swing by with three gas cans on the way home from work sometimes. The other is north of me and the only time I'm pretty much up there is if I happen to be in the area for a meet or for this specific mall. Taking the car on a nice...

I currently run E85 and love it, but it is annoying for me to get and I've been wanting to drive my DSM on trips lately.Please understand the question before replying. Big fuel lines? Monster injectors? None of what you said has anything to do with specifically making power on PUMP GAS...

Lately I have seen more and more dynos of cars (usually Evos) running 29+ psi on pump gas and making very high numbers. I see a lot of them coming from DynoFlash and a few other places. Of course, you cannot believe EVERYTHING you see, but people are doing it. Has anyone done this or have any...

Thanks guys, glad to hear it looks good. I'm doubting carbon since the motor runs so clean with E85, but who knows. Maybe some left over from the few thousand miles I ran 93...I've heard cams bleed off, but I never verified that that was really so...

These numbers aren't too low?? Motor was built end of last august, but has a good amount less than 10k.What do you think would cause Cyl 2 to be slightly higher? I even went back to Cyl 2 at the end just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I have a built motor with 7bolt block, Mitsu MLS head gasket, Wiseco 8.3:1 (.020 overbore) pistons, stock valves, and BC272 cams. The motor has a few thousand miles on it now andf I just did a compression test. All cylinders were tested twice and all tests were done with motor > 183 degrees and...

I haven't made any changes lately, hopefully it stops raining this week. I wanted to take the car out this week and up the boost a little, tweak the tune, and see what I could come up with.

None for me. I haven't upped the boost or anything yet.

Pulls well up top, but I think my throttle body and intake manifold are holding me back. I have another thread with that information on the DSMLink forums, logs and dyno.

Yes, I am. The lag isn't really bad at all.

Journal - Cheaper and easier to rebuild. The spool it has is perfectly fine for me.Bolt-on - I didn't feel like buying a new downpipe and manifold. My friend also had a bolt-on 5862sp (when they still offered that combo) and he trapped a 129.x. He did have a 6bolt tb and i/im and a little...

What parts did you use for this by the way?

I was asking because you stated above that you were using your stock fuel pressure regulator...
