Hmmm I don’t see how not having the dowels is going to affect the alignment when you have all 4 bolts in and tight.Also, what is this “automatic spacer” you guys are speaking of? This is the first I’ve heard of it
A lot of dsm guys keep the stock fuel lines when going to e85. Some report problems, some do not. Some blame the fuel, some blame the stock rubber lines. I personally run e85 in both my cars on stock fuel lines. I have also experienced “e85 injector goo”. I tend to believe it is caused by the...
Ppl are asking for $600-800 but are selling for less. I would bet that there’s hundreds of un-used ecmlinks laying around in ppls garages. Also, your stock ecu could be sold to help cover some of the costs.
I see some guys on YouTube saying that the apex seals are usually ok but it’s the coolant seals that go bad and then yeah if the rotor housing chrome is gone they are probably done, but they rebuilt one for under $1k. Idk. I used to hate the look of them but they’ve grown on me. It will be a...
Man I’ve been thinking about this one too! Rx-8s are all over for $1k. I drove one 10yrs ago and it was a blast. I loved the in-cabin feel.I didn’t see the adapters tho. Who makes them?

It went 9s, but was it any fun on the street? Did it spool anything like these new uhf turbos are supposed to? After further research I may just want a hta68 v1.Holsets are intriguing but making a new o2 housing is not.
Holsets used to be THE thing to do for awhile in the dsm scene. Just wondering what everyone’s stance is on that in 2023 with more and more turbo options becoming available? To be honest, I’m still interested in an hy-35 in the smaller t3 housing but I’d like to hear some opinions of others.
I’d like to bump this thread. I lifted up some 3g wheels last week and they are indeed light! Anyone have some stock 1g wheels laying around with no tire so we can add to this list?
Ugh. More rules. More restrictions. More laws. More fines. More struggle.Thankful to be born where I was, but I fear my children won’t enjoy the same fate.
I’m a fan of the AEM X. I have tried innovate mtxl (my fav innovate wb), the lc-1 and lc-2. They seem to be very sensitive to shorts.Also, running nb simulation and losing a sensor is fine as long as your tune is good. I’ve recently been playing with running open loop ALL the time. I think my...
E85. 28psi. Old school fp green (gen 1 maybe??). Almost stock 1g timing maps (20degrees up top). Stock 1g engine with good compression. Afr 12:1.Are you guys just straight dumping the clutch to get good 60’s? I’m trying not to break anything in my drivetrain so slipping for too long apparently...
I read some ppl saying that spraying pre-compressor is bad because water can pool up in the IC? I feel like having an IC is better than not since it’s a street car that I drive often.
Hmmm well that’s interesting. It was a cool night too probably 65 degrees out. And “no” to your question about restrictions… the car has all bolt ons no engine work. Stock TB and IM. Stock cams. I figure the hose are the biggest restrictions currently. No oil in my IC piping. Mechanical timing...
I noticed in the log that from 1st to 2nd gear, it took 1.6 seconds for boost to fully recover… 2.1 seconds shifting from 2nd into 3rd! And over 1 second shifting from 3rd into 4th. NLTS will definitely be a game changer.Launch limit was set to 5250. It didn’t bog, I guess I just slipped it...
Looking over the log finally. It looks like not having NLTS wired up is really killing me. Turbo is losing a ton of rpms in between shifts. I gotta get that sorted. I tried to wire it up using the 90 instructions and then when it wasn't working, I realized that I did a 91-94 ecu swap. Dumb dumb.
It’s race day!E85 yes. The knock actually happens more at 11:1. I leaned out to 12-12.5:1 last year after some reading and honestly, it never gets knock anymore (except this run). It misfired right before/at the same time as the knock. I’m not sure which came first but looking at the log I...
Headed to the 1/4 drag strip tomorrow for the first time in my awd manual 1g. Mods are NOT up to date lol I'll get that changed here soon. I've been cleaning up my tune still so no log to post yet but I'll get one up today/tonight.The couple questions I have in the meantime are, at what rpm...
I had similar issues a long time ago and it turned out to be the ecu. However, I would swap that noisy 255 back in first and see how it responds. It might be that the new pump is bad. I had a nib aeromotive 340 crap out after about 10 days
