Ok so we got this damn thing going again tonight and here is how it goes/went. Take the car out and it runs good at 10 psi, turn up the boost to say 13-15 and it falls on it's face and starts to miss. It acts like it's loading up/missing even at idle. If you shut it off and let it cool down it...
So I was going to buy another 1G (a running car) but I think I would rather buy a roller and just build it myself. I am thinking about having buschur build me a 2.3 rpm motor like he has in his evo. So what I will have is a 2.3 that can rev to 9000+ I want to be able to run it on 93 as there...
Ok, so a friend of mine bought a 91 tsi yesterday and it has a strange problem, then again it's a strange car. The car is a 91, someone put a 1990 harness in it and switched all the components (ignition, throttle body, cas) with 90 parts yet the edu is from a 91. The car wants to run rough and...
I finally went to a 86hta with a bolt on housing. Looking for a suggestion on cams. I am trying to get the car back into street car mode. I kinda have it down to the bf272 or GSC S3 cams. I still have the ability to re past 10K but I am hoping with the new turbo to get the power shifted to...
Ok so i can get a good deal on a 3582r with a fp dsm housing but it is not an hta wheel...or i can buy a fp red hta. Im looking for opinions on which of these would be better for 600hp. Fp said i could upgrade the 3582 to a hta whell but it will cost $700.
I am thinking about putting and fp red on my car. The motor has grp aluminum rods and the head is fully built...same head that is/was on sheps car. The car can easily rev to 10,000 rpm. I was thinking maybe gsc s3 cams but i am looking for suggestions.
I was wondering if anyone made a spacer or something to fill the void between the block and the mounting bracket for the carrier bearing on the drivers side axle?
So after asking people where/how they mounted their MSD DIS2 I decided to come up with my own solution. I wanted something that was sturdy, something that was no held together with duct tape and zip ties. This is only a rough version of the final product. I made it out of a piece of 1/8"...
I have a 90 dsm that I am going to put msd dis2 and a buschur cop on. I am running aem ems. My first question is do I need to run both the stock tack adapter and the msd one since I am using aem ems? Second question, I have to say I am really sorry for this stupid question but I have had my...
I was wondering if anyone had a pic of how they attached their throttle cable to this throttle body. I checked with magnus and they said their adapter will not work with this older style.
Ok, so I am going to look at a 1G on thursday. The car had jumped time and the current owner had a new head put on it. He said the car feels low on power. He said the car is in time and has no boos leaks at all. So I am wondering what do yo guys feel are some common things I should check for...
Hello, I am going ot go look at a 91 awd with an auto on saturday. The guy says the car has a rebuilt trans with a 4000 stall. I was wondering what kind of things I should look for to make sure it not a piece of yo know what. I am not very familiar with the auto stuff. Thanks
I have a 1990 that I am going to put the 2 piston calipers on. I was wondering what brake lines I should buy. Should I buy the lines for a 90-94 car or for a 95-98 car?
Ok, so I have been thinking about going with a TCE brake kit for my car. I can not seem to get in touch with todd however. Lets assume I want to stay with the oem 2 pot caliper. I drive the car on the street and drag race it. I need something that has a really high bite when cold but can...
I am thinking of replacing my mounts with one of these sets. If I get the drop engineering mounts I am getting black inserts for sure. The only thing that concerns me if that's the right way to say it is that the avids should be lighter being made from aluminum. Any one know how much the...
I was wondering how you guys eliminate the extra connectors and wires on the harness. I have aem ems and I wont be needing things like the factory maf connector etc. So I was wondering what the best way was to eliminate that stuff with out building a new harness altogether.
Ok my car is a 90 and I am going to be installing a msd dis-2 and a buschur cop ignition. Does it matter that my car is a 90 since the stock coils are not being used? I am horrible with wiring so if someone could help me out or has a diagram that would be great.
The first choice is supposed to be suspension not brakes. So I am thinking about upgrading either my brakes or my suspension over the winter. If you were me what would you do? I want to keep my 16in rx7 wheels. I was thinking either a brakeman brake kit or JIC coilovers. The car currently...
I am looking to buy a MBC and I need help choosing. I have it narrowed down to a couple. If buschur was still making their dual controller I would go with it but they are not. I don't NEED a dual boost controller but it would be nice for traction and switching fuels.
Ok, my car is a 90, but I have now gone to a forward facing oil filter housing. I have a non 90 water pump I can use. Do I need to buy an oil cooler? This has always confused me.
I was just wondering how I would go about running a coolant temp sensor in my aftermarket radiator??? I didn't know if I would just have a bung welded into one of the end tanks and mount it like that. Sorry if this seems like a newb question.
I am in search of a tuner for my 1G. Someone had recommended Brad Brooks. I was wondering if anyone had been tuned by him and what they think. Would you go with him? I was also thinking about going with TPG tuning as they are much closer to me, but if brooks is the better man for the job I...
Looks like the exact same thing as the FIC 2150s
Fiveo - 2000cc Subaru, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Mazda - Import Fuel Injectors - Custom Milled High Performance Impreza WRX and Mazda RX7 Siemens Injectors - 0426WRX2000
I was wondering if anyone was using one of the FP inline filters on a ball bearing turbo. I am thinking about picking one up to use on my GT42R. How do you like it? Pros, cons?
Ok so a friend of mine has a 1G with a 2.3L his car had a 20G on it but it was broken into and they stole the turbo. He is looking for suggestions on possible upgrades/replacement turbos. I was thinking that for the money (he is on a budget) that the hx 35 or 40 is pretty hard to beat. What...
I am getting ready to order some aeroquip starlite hose. I was wondering how much I should order. I have an external pump, 2 fuel filters and a afpr. I am going to replace the stock return line as well. So how many feet will I need of each?
A friend of mine has been putting a new motor in his car, as the other motor was bad. Today we finally finished up and went to start it up. It wouldnt start, so we started looking for issues.We took 4 bottles and set them in front of the injectors and tried to turn it over. There is no fuel...
How many damn posts do you need to be able to post in other areas of the forum. I could understand the for sale section but this is the only forum I have ever been on that u need a minimum post count to be able to post in anything other than the newbie forum. I can't even make a post reviewing...
I've been rebuilding this front drive turbo and I finally got it to fire up the other day but its acting really weird. It is really hard to get to start, like i gotta give it mad throttle and crank the shit out of it to get it to run. Once its fired up it wont stay at a consistant rpm, and it...
