I'm having some unusual idle surge issues that I need to address as the Spyder is now my daily driver. Earlier today I started the car to be greeted with a high idle of ~2200. I drove for a little and the high idle turned into idle surge. I parked the car for about an hour and was able to get...
Does anyone know if this bracket can be removed from the pedal and the master cylinder rod?? My master is fine, but the plastic bushing in this thing is worn out and making noise when I use the clutch.I know it can be removed from the pedal by pulling the cotter key and then the clevis pin...
I'm running into a leak that is somehow getting into the door, dripping off part of the window track, hitting the speaker and ending up on the floor. It's not running down the inside of the window, so I'm assuming it's coming from the base of the window where it meets the door.The rubber...
I have the stock radio currently and just yesterday it started flashing E 01 when I load a CD. Does anyone know what this error code means?If it indicates a dead radio, does anyone have any suggestions for a reasonably priced head unit that will handle an iPod input at the back? Meaning I...
The ECU basically has 3 operating modes, closed loop, open loop and limp mode.Limp mode is reserved for potentially damaging problems the ECU may encounter. The main problem of which, is a nonfunctional MAS. Without feedback from the MAS the ECU has no idea the mass of air passing to the...
Alright, I've decided to spend some time at work and crunch some numbers on the most commonly used injector and fuel pump sizes. The list below will provide you with the maximum amount of air that a give fuel system component can handle. There are some assumptions that I had to make for the...
I read this post by Tom and wanted to see about some clarification. I though posting the questions here would keep some of the added discussion out of the vendor announcement thread where I found the quote.I was looking at this picture on the ECMLink website showing a screenshot of the soon...
Alright, I know that it can be done, but the problem is that I have no idea how to make it work. I got my first Mac a couple months ago, and to be honest have no idea what I'm doing with the damn thing. :pI'm very good with PC's, but this thing boggles my mind.I saw a "How to" in the...
For some unknown reason I'm having problems with my AFR's running lean at idle. No matter where I set my 50Hz slider the AFR's stay around 16.4:1 at idle. As soon as I pass the 50Hz airflow mark, things get back to normal. I've attached some logs below. The ones named "Clipped" are with the...
I need some help from some of you computer geniuses out there. I know this isn't a computer forum, but I thought some of you guys might be into this sort of thing.From what I'm getting from my router logs, someone has been port sniffing my home network for at least the past 2 days. The...

This has probably been posted before, but I wanted to personally wish our beloved turbocharger happy birthday. I know I'm 1 day late, but what the hell. :)Here is the full article if anyone wants to read it.
This thing is starting to piss me off. After dropping about $4k into the Spyder this year, I'm ready to drive her off a cliff. The car is only driven in the summer and it just so happens it was up on jack stands most of the time waiting for parts. I think I've put about 200 miles on her this...
Can someone help me track down a problem? I was getting ready to install my ported exhaust manifold and O2 sensor housing when I noticed that my coolant reservoir was full of what looked like oil. The dipstick is only showing that I'm missing 1/2 a quart, and the oil is still clean.I...
Well, after catching a bunch of slack from everyone for the past year or so, I finally broke down and picked up a copy of DSMLink and a 2g EPROM. :rocks:$640 shipped for the software, cable and EPROM. I talked extensively to the seller and with Thomas from DSMLink and everything seems to...
Well, I stumped and need a little help.I finished installing the AEM UEGO WBO2 today and went out to make sure everything was working properly. Made a 2nd gear pull and found that my AFR looked to be about 11:1 or there abouts. It was hard to look at the road and the AFR gauge. :)Drove...
Everything I read says it is, but i'm not so sure. OMGI was previously running about 33lbs/min with the stock cat back at 20psi on an EVO III 16g. The stock cat back was coupled with a 2.5" DP and 2.5" high flow cat.A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded to a Greddy EVO 2 cat back...
Is there anyone in the Harrisburg, PA area running a 6-Puck sprung disk? I had mine installed and I'm thinking there is something wrong with the installation or I got a defective part.I wanted to see if there was anyone close that could give me a ride in their car so I would know for...

Well, I haven't been around lately because my wife and I just bought our first house and my work decided to purchase a new building and make us move everything. :pAnyway, things are calming down now and should be slow for the next couple of weeks until it gets to be time for closing on the...
Hello everyone, I normally keep my butt in the Tuning section but I thought I would ask for some help with my pending problem. This will be a long post, as I am going to provide you with as much information surrounding my problem as possible.Right before I put my car in storage for the...
Well, yesterday I was replacing the clutch slave cylinder and the oil pressure sending unit for the idiot light. Because I'm a moron, I overtightened the sending unit and cracked the oil filter housing. :cry:Anyway, I was able to JB Weld the existing housing long enough to get the car...
Hello everyone.I have been wanting to go to the track ever since I installed my EVO III, but I am a little hesitant. I have never even been to a track (even to watch) and would have no idea what to expect. I think Beaver Springs is the closest 1/4 track from me. None of my local friends...

I have a question for all of you guys running a 190lph Walboro FP.After my car is shut off it seems as if the pump is not holding the fuel pressure in the lines. It requires significantly longer for the car to start and is very annoying. Is this normal for the Walboro pumps or is mine...
I am planning on putting some money into the Spyder. My current mods are 2.5" DP, 2.5" Hi-Flow Cat, SAFC-II, Pocketlogger, 1g BOV, Home Depot MBC, Slotted/Dimpled Rotors and Ceramic Pads. My initial idea was to have SBR install a EVO III 16g, 550cc injectors and a 190lph FP. This will run about...
I am looking to purchase a '92 Laser. It's a AWD Turbo and has a problem starting when it's cold. Apparently they were able to get the car started a couple of times with starting fluid :confused: The current owner said that after sitting for 4 months it fired right up (after charging the...
