The helical ones are a revised set of gears. They have more surface area on them, allowing for more oil to be flowed at the same rpm than the straight cut gears. I know in my 90 GST it had straight cut, and my 95 GST had the helical ones. In the 95 I was pushing more power than the 90 and I had...

Wingless. :thumb:

alright...found out i was missing a exhaust manifold bolt and oil was leeking out and burning on the manifold. i was like WTF where is all this oil coming from?? so i pulled the plugs because it was skipping at high rpm and when i pulled #1 plug wire i saw the hole was filled with oil. OMG so i...

I don't know where all of you guys are getting that DSM's are unreliable. I drive mine 86 miles a day to work and back, 6 days a week, and I have never been stranded. The only maintainence I have done was 4 new tires and a rear wheel bearing in the last 3 months, besides changing the oil. Take...

Haha, yea I know. It came that way when I bought it. Guy I bought it off of put on Eibach lowering springs, 2" drop, but kept the stock shocks. Rides rougher than hell. So 2 days after I bought the car I bought a complete set of Tokico springs/shocks that will bring it up 1". I just don't have...

Car was painted 2 weeks ago. 2 coats of base, 3 coats of clear. I wish I had a better camera, it looks just like glass. Wheels are off a 3G Eclipse, and I have a set of Tokico Illuminas shocks/springs waiting to go on. Not too bad for a $1000 car.

There is a gasket, but I've heard of people using silicone gasket maker and having no trouble with them. If you go with the gasket maker, make sure each area is grease free, or it will not seal. Use brake cleaner on both the compressor housing and J-Pipe to clean it and torque the bolts. Then in...

Bolts- 10mm head. I opted for the stainless hex head screws. Return line- No mod's needed. Just install a new gasket to the oil pan and bolt it on.

Wonder where they got that from..... Honda has been doing it for years, reducing weight and added cooling to the sleeve. Bad thing is increased cylinder pressure really screws with these, and makes them crack. Extensive machining is needed to keep these blocks together, or you could just pick...

Keystone has them, but they are expensive. It would have cost over $400 to have it shipped for a new one, and I picked up a really good shell for $250. Look for a used one, they are out there.

Diavik is about 120 miles north of Yellowknife. Only way in there is by plane, and they deliver the huge equipment on the ice roads in the winter. So yeah, its a ways up there.As far as pay, they pay for all my housing, food, and air flights to and from home. So basically I show up and get...

Pretty much straight forward. There are 3 ears on the wheel hub assembly, take out those three, whack the old bearing assembly with a hammer and it should pop out. Put in the new one, put the 3 bolts back in, then reattach the rotor and caliper and put on your wheel and you are done. Should take...

Yes I have a logger, using pocketlogger software. It is reading from the logger but not on the safc.As far as the MAFT setup, its all dialed to zero, and tuning with the safc. I used the same rpm wire as the maft, soldered into pin 58 on the ecu. I can get a voltage reading, buts its...

Leet, you crack me up.:D I was joking, as my fiance HATES my car. I wish I could find a girl that is into cars, they are really hard to come by up here. But I'm happy with her, I just wish she was happy with me AND my car.:thumb:

Thanks for the replies guys. I worked for Cianbro Corp. for a while, and they paid me $22/hr, plus per diem ($65/day), but i was shipped around New England for the 3 months that I worked for them. I hated it, never home and lived out of hotels.:notgood: So $32/hr plus all expenses is pretty...

Well today I received a phone call from a Canadian diamond company called Diavik. They have a huge diamond mine up in the northwest territory, and was interested in my application. I did not apply to this company, I just filled out the Union Workers app last year and they must have pulled it and...

Can I marry you????

White color smoke generally means coolant burning in the combustion chamber. Headgasket is most likely the culprit, but a cracked cylinder wall will do it as well. Do a leak down test to figure it out. Any oil in the coolant/coolant in the oil yet? Overheating problems?

0.00 or &#8734;, depending on the meter. Basically there should be zero resistance.

Take a pair of pliers and twist them 90* and pull up. Don't expect to reuse them after.

How much is your rebuilt EvoIII's compared to a brand new MHI unit?

13.49cfm= 1 lb/min, so 48lb/min=647.8cfm. I got the info from my desktop dyno program.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was actually talking about the T25 actuator, not the 14B. Trust me, I too have seen over 20psi on the 14B, OMG ! (installed MBC backwards, will not do that again. Etched direction arrows with my dremel in the side of the MBC to prevent that from...

Because the cylinder pressures are so high at that psi that anything over 10psi is pushing the limits on the ring lands on the pistons. I have an HCI magazine in front of me and they did a B-Series Boost Bash to see how much power a stock B16A motor will put out on a turbo before something...

Well this morning my SAFC showed up via UPS and I decided to install it before I go into work later this afternoon. I did not tap anything, I soldered every connection, and I followed the wiring diagram like a church boy reading the Bible. I checked, and double checked the wiring, and everything...

Yes, as the 14B has a larger turbine than the T-25. But it makes up for it in the top end. I was reading somewhere that its not turbo itself that cannot boost past 12psi at redline, its the actuator. I think it was RRE that did the article, as they were saying that the spring in the actuator is...

A bit more boost eh? I think that holding 20psi to redline and flowing 100cfm more than a T-too tiny is a good upgrade, considering it is free. If you don't know what you are talking about, then GTFO. Quit posting false and ignorant posts. OP: In my PERSONAL opinion, the 14B was a great upgrade...

Sweet. I just didn't know if the flange was going to be too big and I couldn't bolt it up to the stock cat. converter. I'm going to go buy it now. Thanks for the answer.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250153872961&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015 I need a new downpipe as the flex section is worn out and is starting to get really loud. I was looking at a few, and this one seems to be reasonable, but before I buy, will this bolt...

According to partsamerica.com, they utilize the same part number. So yes, they both will work interchangeably.

Ah, ok. :( I kinda got my hopes up. Mods you can close the thread if you want.

I have a chance to buy a set of 550cc high independence injectors from an RX-7 really cheap. Now, I really don't know if we have high or low ind. injectors, and I tried searching but all that came up was "What size should I go with" or "Need help tuning ***cc injectors". Can anyone help me out?

That's what I thought, until I tried putting things together. There was a plastic box, I guess a resonator, that took up about 4 inches of pipe. And with the stock J pipe it put a weird angle on the pipe, and made it difficult to put on. So I took the wife's car to Advanced Auto and bought a...

You will love the 14B over the T-25, as it will hold 15+psi to redline, and pull much harder. Are you using a kit, or are you fabing up your own intercooler piping? I used the factory J-pipe of a 90, then used my s-shaped intercooler hose off the 2G and made a small pipe out if 2" exhaust pipe...

Like I said, I really don't remember what size it was, but for some reason 3/8" sticks in my head. You can take out the fitting right now, not much oil will leak out, and see if your adapter will fit. When you tighten everything down though, use some teflon tape to seal it up good.

Hmmm...let me think for a bit, it was a while since I have done this... I went to NAPA with the stock fitting and told them I needed a plug. I think it was a NPT 3/8" plug, but not too sure. They were not that expensive, like $0.69 or something like that. But if you can get the factory fitting...

If it was a brand new turbo, send the damn thing back. Whether it was an eBay knock-off, they still have warranties. Its a hit-or miss type of deal, some people are still running their first turbo, others are in their 3-4th. If it were me I'd continue to run them till the warranty runs out, then...

Agreed. The only thing that will not pop your engine is to not even start it.:D The only thing that makes me wonder is if the FPR shown above will actually regulate fuel pressure and controll it with a 1:1 rise with boost. That would be the only thing that would worry me. I guess having an...

That will probally be the World's biggest demo-derby.LOL Seriously its so regulated in every little area that it takes the fun out of racing. Local stock car racing is turning into that, and alot of people around here just can't afford to keep up with the yearly rules/regulations. It's become...

This is a debatable question with a 190 fuel pump. Some experts say that a 190 pump will not over-run the factory fpr, others say that it will. For the peace of mind, of both ease of tuning, and fear of over-run, I would install one. As far as the dump O2 housing, does it have the O2 bung in...

You're going to need something to control those bigger injectors. SAFC, MAF Translator, or a custom chip if you have an EPROM ECU. Don't do anything to the MAF sensor, as you need to control the injector pulse width, and just removing the screw won't help much. This is basically used to...

No, he found out what weed and LSD is. Then he quickly realized what the long term effects of LSD do, you get PITTED!!!ROFL ROFL

Cookin' with Emeril, are we???:D OP: Yea, probally the vibrations killed the sending unit. Like kmoore suggested, call Autometer and tell them. I did, and as well kmoore, they sent me a replacement at no charge.

There is a crack on the wastgate flapper, but I'm not too worried about the spool since I'm fwd, and when the boost hits, the front tires break loose. Basically first gear is useless. I changed the O2 sensor when I did the 14B swap, along with all new gaskets (mani->turbo, turbo->O2 housing, O2...

Test was done on warm motor, MBC unhooked and tester was clamped on the outlet hard pipe. There was air leaking out the oil cap before, and causing too much crankcase pressure to blow out the dipstick. That's why I bought a new PCV valve and dipstick. I did a boost leak test afterwards and...

Sorry I forgot to specify that this was on my first DSM, a 90 GST.

To no_skills also: The bov is recirculated. Brand new NGK BR6ES plugs, gapped with a wire gapper at .028". I did a boost leak test, held 20psi for 6 seconds and fell to 6 after 10. I even took a bottle of soapy water and soaked each coupling and the intercooler and came up with one small leak...

Absolutely just sick. What camera is he using? The quality is just simply amazing. :drool: Those rsx's are very clean, and I dig the turbo setup. Its not like "well the turbo is back there," its right out front, saying "hah! look at me!". Tell your friends they both got sick rides. Definitely...
