    I don't know if any of you guys saw it, but DSPORT actually had a page on DSMs. It was page 10 (if I remember right) of the Nov 2012 issue.

    Anyone know what this is in my computer?

    OK, so I pretty much suck when it comes to computers. I don't know how to do shit on them or what their parts are called. However, I am good with my hands so when my power jack took a shit I figured I would replace it myself. And I had no problem doing that. All went well. But............ I am...

    Where is the thread & what wheels are these?

    First question:Where the hell is the thread that had all the wheel and tire sizes listed for the 1g and 2g? It had it all broken out in nice little excel looking tables. It showed the sizes and widths and what offset you would need. I can't seem to find the damn thing and I know it is right...

    CEL, no power, what the hell

    Ok. So this has happened a couple of times now. I will be driving and all will be normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Then all the sudden my car will throw a CEL and lose power (only has enough to keep a steady speed, won't speed up). Then a minute or two later the CEL will go away and all will...

    Coil Pack Harness is a mess

    The above graphic is a crappy power point of the current wiring job done on my 95 Eclipse. It has a 420a. I think it has a coil pack from another car on it because of the yellow connectors and the way the wires all change colors. Does anyone know for sure. Or have a wiring diagram of other coil...

    Issue with cylinder 4

    Ok, here's the problem.My car has a COP on it. When running the engine sounds completely fine. I can not hear a skip or a misfire whatsoever. However, if I pull off the #4 plug the engine doesn't change at all. Makes me think it isn't firing, but if I can see it arcing when I ground it out...

    Question about the g4cs stroker

    Ok. Here is what is confusing me. I keep reading where people are taking a complete g4cs short block, slapping on a 4g63 head and everything else from a 4g63, and then calling it a stroker. Now my question is, how is this a stroker. To me this is just a turbo DOHC g4cs not a stroker.The...

    wanting to build a stroker

    I am thinking about building an engine for my car and i was looking at the stroker threads and i found this.The g4cs block is the ONLY part of the motor that is different from the 4g63. A timing belt from a dohc 2.4 1990 glant gs and both of the cam gears are the only other thing that is...

    question about headers

    OK. I looked and couldn't find an answer to this question.All the headers that I have seen have really smooth flowing pipes. In addition to keeping a smooth flowing path for exhaust gases, are the tubes suppose to be equal in length from the head to where they meet at the turbo.I don't...
