    Resolved Evo siphon vs DSM

    So what actually makes the Evo fuel siphon better than the DSM one, if you opened it up to 1/8"?Debating on replacing my current 2g siphon with an Evo, even though I logged out the hole incrementally over time, watching the tank level and siphoning capability, until I reached 1/8". Ended up...

    Resolved Oil cooler suggestions?

    Pretty quick question: looking for any suggestions for oil cooler, both in plate count and brand, from those that have experience. Application is a 2gb Talon behind where the driver side fog light used to be , so it will get plenty of airflow, attached to a early 90s Evo GVR4 OFH using -10AN...

    What are people doing for MD752981 nowadays?

    It looks like MD752981, the gasket for the transfer case inspection cover, is gone for good. No USA stock, no Amayama. What are people doing nowadays for this -- gasket paper with a good sealant? Karropak should probably work, just curious if anybody's using something novel.

    "Driven" oil?

    Whilst dropping off my rotating assembly at the local race/machine shop for full balancing, they had a lot of varieties of "Driven" oil. Break-in, synthetic, and 10w40 conventional.Specifically I'm interested in the 10w40...

    Plastigauge measurement methodology

    Don't get me wrong, I've used plastigauge before but I was just thinking while sitting in a dark room here that when one uses plastigauge to measure bearing clearance, they're doing so on a crankshaft that's resting on the bearings in the direction of gravity, or worse.Let me draw two...

    Can't ACL do anything right: a rant

    This is why I switched to King from my last attempt at ACL years ago. This kind of shit is just sickening and why I hold them in less regard than any other manufacturer. @DSSA how often do you see/hear of this coming out from your inventory?Straight out of the box. Cut open the shrink wrap on...

    Piston ring filer suggestions

    Go on Amazon and you'll find any number of piston ring filers, some the same, some slightly different, all generally cheap. Reviews for them are all over the place.I've got Manley 8.5:1 +.25 going in which includes Total Seal rings that are file fit. I'm preparing to need to file them so I get...

    Resolved Kiggly girdle deflection

    So, I'm not sure if this is normal for the @kiggly girdle or not and what effect it will have as they're fairly clear in their documentation that installed cap height shouldn't differ by more than a few thousandths, but both girdle halves have the same deflection in the middle. This girdle was...

    Transfer case toast or a feature?

    Alright, so some have probably seen what came out of my transfer case a couple weeks ago (https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-dsm-today.382387/post-153883697) and today had some time to actually open it up and take a basic look. Keep in mind, this is my first time getting...

    NAPA Gold 1381 still made by WIX?

    This used to be a thing a half decade or more ago, but I've been wondering post-pandemic if our good ol' Gold 1381 is till made by WIX..They're 63% more expensive than an OEM filter up here, which I've used for many years, and lately I've been wondering if OEM is the reason behind my oil...

    2G F&F model but with a twist..

    Ok, so I know F&F version of the 2G eclipse has been around for a while. Most specifically, the AMT version with the 420A. This is not about that kit.I'm not sure how many here know about this one but I stumbled across it today on aliexpress, of all places. Naturally, it's a bit cheaper on...

    Looking for a indoor storage car cover

    So the search only found threads very old and most of the information in them is probably horribly out of date.I'm looking for a cost effective car cover for indoor storage. Namely, my garage. I just don't want crap to settle on it. Obviously, the cover would have to be soft enough not to...

    Evo 1 Big 16G vs HTA68 v3

    So I've had this B16G for quite some time and while it's been a good, trusty street turbo, I also came into the possession of a brand new, still sealed in the original bag, FP HTA68 V3. It's got a welded flapper so I need to procure an externally gated O2 housing and wastegate which will cost an...

    Abandoned 2G restoration video

    The body kit, wing, wheel and paint choice is very unfortunate but kind of expected due to the car living in the F&F world. Must have been difficult sourcing OE parts for the rebuild.:sneaky:

    WTB Any good condition tubular o2 housings around?

    Looking to see if I can get any improvements by using a tubular o2 housing, dump or recirc, bolted to the big 16g.I am seeing 20psi by 3500 in third but my VE table definitely points to increasing backpressure above 4k. my exhaust consists of an evo1/2 cast o2 housing, megan downpipe, and 3"...

    ECMlink Sudden knock below 3500 after head work & unusual rawknock

    Been a while since I started a thread, but here goes because short of changing to another set of stock cams, rebleeding every HLA yet again, and ripping out the knock sensor wiring and redoing the harness, I am really confused.It all started with this year's no-start. Turned out likely to have...

    Interesting OEM Evo3 exhaust manifold casting

    I bought this guy brand new from a (the most) reputable business in Canada a couple years back and just noticed something when I flipped it over recently. It's an OEM Evolution 3 exhaust manifold, has the casting hump on the #1 runner and everything. I've got no reason to think it's not genuine...

    Deciding on ECU for 1G

    Ugh. So I'm stuck at a fairly crucial point in my continued quest to retain ownership of my 1g. At this point, it's deciding which ECU should I choose to breathe life back into it and act as its grey matter until the day I get rid of it.I currently have a non-EPROM 1G M/T ECU (Canadian/Fed)...

    Slightly lean idle & miss

    So I've run into an issue lately and I'm not entirely sure when exactly it started. I know this is a novel in itself, but I want to make sure all the points of what I've experienced and done are there.Let me first say that only a month or so ago, I would idle around 14.7 most of the time but...

    Very wierd mmcd values lately

    So my 91 Talon TSi P/S rack was removed to make some repairs to a hard line, and after the install, an attempt to boost with a dead battery and low amp battery charger/starter, and subsequently a new battery, we're seeing some really weird results from mmcd now.Before the swap, when the...
