This has nothing to do about the opperation or quality of the Tial wastegate it is more about the v-band clamp and dump tubes. I recently had my car towed on a flatbed due to a minor accident. It was towed due to one of the tires got popped and I wasn't going to drive it to the body shop on the...
Have a weird problem and need to know if anyone else has had a similar situation and what the solution, if any, that you may have found. Long story short, I keep snapping the pivot on the shifter (where it attaches to the vertical portion). The part that I have snapped twice seems to be welded...
My 2g is running hot on the highway at 60+ mph. I have both fans connected but I've heard that they don't really do anything over 30 mph. This problem does NOT occur when just driving around town or sitting in traffic. It seems to only happen in fifth gear at 60 or higher. I do have a FMIC but I...
Being in the tire business I see alot of tires that were replaced due to improper care. Tire prices for larger tires are going up and most of the replacements on tuner cars can be avoided through proper alignment. I do agree that toe setting is very important but camber can not be ignored...
I have a 99 GSX with a few mods and within a month I have gone through two transfer cases. I have not been abusive to the car (launching) and this is the second time a T-case has failed. I did some research on this site about the T-case recall but it does not seem to cover my car. I need to find...
I'm getting my t-belt and water pump but should I pull the head off and install a new Mitsu head gasket? I was also going to do ARP head studs but I don't know if I should just leave the head on the car and do the ARPs through the valve cover and not worry about the head gasket. Please give me...
I have a 99 AWD and I am looking to send my trans to Shep for a rebuild (non race version) and I am wondering how much power the trans can hold approx? Also, how long it will go before needing another rebuild? I don't take my car to the track and more often then not, it is just for regular...
Anyone had a problem with thier car after getting it back from AMS working on it? A couple of friends and I have had some issues with our DSMs after AMS had installed some parts in our cars. I'm not trying to play the blame game but I want to know if anyone has had a similar experience. I just...
Wondering if anyone has an opinion about the best track turbo set up and I'm not talking about just drag racing? I currently have a small 16g but it just doensn't seem to pull enough for me. I was considering on going with a T3/T4 50 trim set up with an external waste gate but I don't know how...
I'm getting some money soon and I was just on the Jun website. What do you guys think of or know anyone who has a Jun built engine? I'm considering buying a 6 bolt and sending off to them to have a full stage 2 top and bottom end done. This includes the entire valvetrain and a 2.2 stroker kit. I...
I just went from a 14b to a small 16g and my A/F gauge has been stuck all the way to rich ever since. I know that those gauge really don't do much as far as tuning but it's not supposed to be like that at idle. The 16g pulls hard but since I've been running so rich the 14b was faster up top. The...
:confused: I am currently experiencing a P304 code from the ECU and the car seems to hesitate when at full throttle. I've tried to remmedy this by adding an electronic boost controller(Greddy Profec-B), Walbro 255 fuel pump, NGK-R spark plugs, MSD 8.5 mm wires, Apexi S-AFC, and it seems to go...
My friend has a 97 GSX with a considerable amount of work done to the car like a first gen motor swap, big 16g turbo, big Greddy FMIC, etc.. but he wants more and is willing to spend the money to do it right but he doesn't want to send it to a bunch of different shops to get this accomplished...
I would like to see what some of you in DSM land think about Show VS. Go. In my neck of the woods it is taboo to modify the exterior of your DSM past some clear bumper lenses and a painted center section of your tail lights. Rims are ok if they serve a perpose like being lighter for unsprung...
I have noticed that in the gallery there are several 97-99 Eclipses with stock front bumper covers that are also sporting an aftermarket lower lip spoiler. I have not found this item in any web site or tuner shop I have ever been to. If anyone knows where I can find this please let me know.
