  1. Stand alones

  2. My new injury: Tore my Medial Meniscus Tendon in half...

    knee surgery last year....Don't even notice it much now.For long term damage mine was minimal but for pain it sucked. I hyper extended the knee (and thankfully didn't tear every ligament in half) and sucked the soft tissue in front of the knee through it displacing the cartlidge. Eventually...
  3. t3/t4e 60-1 turbo... what injectors??

    read my posts in this thread to give a brief explaination of injector to pump sizing. particularly the post on page three with the pulse to time explaination through cycles.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141667&page=3&highlight=injector+pulseNow as I read back through...
  4. 2G timing problems?

    WTH are you doing at 20+ psi on 91 octane. That right there could be a major problem with boost.At this point the first thing you need to do is check the compression and make sure the engine wasn't damaged by the bad gas and low octane mixed with high boost. If you can scope the pistons...
  5. Running rough..low rpm only

    easiest check: Plug wiresAlso check the water levels and look for smoke. The mitsu heads can puncture above the valves and leak water through the exhaust ports. At low RPMs it causes problems and at high RPMs you just blow it away. Vapor will be very evident.Not fun I have had that...
  6. Starter problems

    Make sure the starter is also held by the correct bolts.Any play in how the starter engages the flyweel can cause the teeth to wear. Don't cause a big problem with a small mistake.
  7. General SAFC out of tune?

    A little more information would be helpfull.What gage are you using for boost?What does the stock gage read?What is your throttle like?When you say the car stutters what do you mean? Does the car just stop? Does it stop giving more power? Does it litteraly stutter and lurch...
  8. Clutch not fully Engaging, Gears wont shift

    A few things to check before you drop the tranny.Try pumping the clutch while sitting still and use all the gears. This will help check for air in the system and a bad syncro.Bleed the system to death!!!! I usually rig up a piece of clear plastic hose so i can see the fluid coming out...
  9. Very strange problem-Getting sensor variation on logger when car is not running.

    so everything wasn't running fine in the other car. Glad that you found the problem.Replacing the capacitors is fairly easy. You can do it yourself with some parts from your local electronics store.
  10. Houston

    Thats houston for you.
  11. clutch stuck to the floor

    What does that say? I am far from perfect, but even I don't type nearly that bad. We are not thugs here and speaking that way makes technical discussion very hard.If this is only a spring issue you should be able to manually pump the clutch with your hand and get it to disengage the...
  12. 2G Holy **** look at this!! Just pulled my water pump

    Here is all I have to say...from somewhere else. This assumes the oil/pistons/pan/cylinders look good.A cooling system problem will not immediately blow the engine......At worst he gets no coolant flow and the temps never stabalize...much easier to try it and see if you can get the...
  13. Very strange problem-Getting sensor variation on logger when car is not running.

    I assume you meant you put his ECU in your car.We need a little more information about what is happening.#1 IC stands for integrated circuit and is made of silicon layers. These CAN NOT click. something else is clicking...fuel relays maybe?#2 is the key in the run position (I...
  14. Houston

    Anything happening in the houston area. Havn't driven the DSM in a while and could use a bite and a chat if anyone is interested.
