My stock Evo 3 on my mirage made a Dyno 373whp, and 351wtq iirc.Like 27psi and 93 pump, meth inj on a stock 5 bolt with 272 cams.The same turbo with a 6/5 td05 wheel change from the master, Jusmx141, is now at about 450whp and room to go but I spin a lotttt more 😂

WDM love. :)

Eclipse day!

So I just bought the Magnus remote IAC for my 95 DSM harness mirage to try and stop the cold start annoyances or holding the pedal down some until coolant temps is 100°So I just need an EVO 3 bolt IAC and I can plug the sucker in and drill and tap for a 1/4" barb at the TB elbow and the other...

Spring is here :)Put the summer wheels and tires on, Added in the #6 biggest meth jet from Snow. Took it for a spin, scared myself and put it away.

Happy 2024.....60,400mi......Drove an hour to my bros place, trans temp was 140-180 range in town and backroads/hwy. Doing great. Mani is quiet so far.Volts with new alt and battery don't go below 12.8 @ harness, in gear, headlights on. Works for me.Got some DSM belt squeal, need to tension.

We are less now, because of this.Guys, we old now. All of us have gray hair. Take care of yourself and live life to your fullest.I was told he collapsed while pushing his car back to the pits after winning his race......so he was on cloud 9 when he went. So there's that......

OKAY I finally got around to a solution.....I got some grade 8 plated 90mm m10x1.25 bolts and some nice doorman? Flanged nuts, turned em down with a 45° chamfer on the lathe at work to clear the casting angles, and sandwiched the hot side and the Mani together.Car is back together, sounds...

I'm a machinist and I do how-to's and post to build threads. Best bet that I will share the info when I do it. :)

I got the old Mani off......what a sh*t show......3/4 turbine housing bolts were drilled out and semi egged. Ones mostly ok. They used trans and alt bolts with NUTS on them to hold it on :0I'm gonna have to get some nuts and bolts and reassemble somehow to make it work. Down the line I'll...

I have Evo X paddles and they seem the same as this. Once I go auto in the mirage I plan to use these full-time for driving, semi auto paddle mode.I have another DSM, auto 99, and I'm prolly gonna put a set on that as well once I get time to wire it all up. That one will have the TCM switch...

Summit lives, about 450-460whp, 26ish psi, turbo trans and car doing well :)

Mani cracked @ #4 runner but I still drive it sometimes. I got in 2 new doorman. Improved OEM cast Manis. I'll machine the turbo side holes to 60mm like I did for my Summit. They work GREAT.I did cross over 60k miles! It is in storage for the winter as well. I bought a house and I'll have a...

Trans temps in the winter are usually 125-150 tops on this car. This is a proven fix, just get it AIR!

I'm omw now, I hope I get to meet some peeps. I should buy a tooners shirt! Got any to buy? Lol

Luda, I just bought a 2g after being away from 2g's for a decade (went mirage platform since 2012)......and I'm back like I'm 25 again!! yes, I have a build thread up LOL. That makes 2 cars with active build threads on here. This place is a mecca of info and I won't ever stop using the forums...

Oh, I FORGOT to post this....I found a relic from 2005 in here.....AND the install was also a sh*t show. It's ok, I removed it carefully and put all the wires back to stock routing and the trans shifts fine. I will be doing forced four install at some point on this car....I believe. I already...

Car was aligned at my mom's Lexus dealership. Drives straight.I started ripping into the audio crapfest from 2004 going on in here. Blown speakers, wires all over, weird kustom crap.....I found a decent brand audio company...SKAR, and got 2 of their knee panel 4" 2-ways and wow they are...

If it's crap, I'll return it to rock auto. I didn't get an ac Delco unit because the pictured plug was a 2 prong not a 4, so we shall see. It's the original alt in there afaik, I think it's just the ECU. I have a spare eprom that's going out tomorrow to get checked, caps, and socketed so next...

I have a new WEI 90A I just got in in prep for swapping it out. The car only has 58k on it and most all the parts are original on it. I will pull the ECU and check, but I'm thinking I'm going to find a bad board. If I don't, and the spare eprom I have gets socketed and tried out, and it's still...

I have this exact problem in my 99 GST......I have 13.8v at the alt and battery. The ECU shows 13.4v.After 10-20min driving it goes to 12.8v-13.1v, wot is 12.8v and the dash lights for brake and oil come on of when doing a pull sometimes. With headlights on it's also a draw especially at idle...

Original axle swapped out....inner boot was completely ripped. $47, rockauto. I got a trakmotive one. I got to use the impact as well! Super nice to have.I have been painting the rotors and any bare parts black as I go. Just cleaning things up :)Check out the GSX calipers and Russel SS...

Moved the trans cooler to the OEM spot on the DS. when you angle it, the fins actually line up to the airflow perfectly! It's now 180° fully warmed up and 195° in town in traffic, cooling down to 180 soon as it moving at speed again.I painted the inside of the bumper black by the fmic to make...

I just wanted to bump this, because nobody ever comes back to tell what the solution was.....the IPT recommended cooler needed to be moved to the DS and put at the OEM opening. It's now 180 cruising, 195°in town. It's great.

I also forgot to mention that since I got it, the tq converter makes a bit of a racket. I was told that IPT said this is normal. It's in neutral and driving but it's loud on start and all. Maybe a bad bearing? Top up is the loudest u can hear it

I just checked and the DS has a wayyy better area with less fmic piping blockage. I'll move it over there and get new lines. Ducting will be a breeze too

Ok I'll work on that. I agree the ducting was crap. I had a duct on it from true value but it wasn't sealed. I'm a machinist, I can do fab work and duct, ect. I just didn't want to waste a ton of time if it's in the wrong spot.Ok I'll clock it so it's long and thin, not short and wide, add...

Thanks for the reply. The car was build up back in 2005 with super low miles. I have the receipts/screenshots from the owner with the valve body and the tx used. I don't have exact numbers belut he said it was a 4k stall, and John went off when I mentioned that, like sir I'm telling you what I...

Hey guys, just picked up an auto 2g Spyder. Car has an E3 turbo, IPT upgraded tq converter and the solenoid upgrade package, with their recommended cooler. Trans functions fine. Amsoil red fluid is like new.On the way home from buying it, temps were 180°, then 195, then 210, 220, 230. I pulled...

More work:

Thx man. I cannot stop staring at it!

Today I cleaned up the car, wheels, and repainted the notorious wiper arms!I also was able to get a base tune on the car. We can now go WOT on 10-15psi and low timing an zero knock. I need an AEM UEGO asap tho. AFRest isn't as nice as a gauge to see.

This is the Build Thread for 99 Spyder survivor! 57k mi OG build. Reply below.WELCOME! IM BACK! Been 10 years and I'm now 40 and ready to do a DSM again :). I got this car from the 3rd owner with 57k miles on it! Full bolt on build: IPT trans work, converter and valve body job. E316G. Link V2...

I had get a used timing bracket mount and had to make new aluminum bronze bushings, because things are just obsolete now. I restored the entire mount assembly.Just a lot of work!

Timing tensioner pin walked out. I had to redo a bunch of stuff. Head was redone, freshened up parts. It's back on the road, currently seeing 46lbs min of airflow.

BUMP.Same issue. PERFECT 750-850 idle with the maf. Perfect. Csrs been on a maf for a decade.I removed the maf, went sd and the worst idle i have ever had. 600-1200rpm. Starts smooth the. It starts leaving the one SD block and hunting around. Hair pulling annoying. Gets bad then better...

Holy throwback! Congrats, we all have gray hair now :)Ps that same ECU i had the issue with is in my mirage and its still going!

I like it! 18psi acutator that justin put on for me. I am using ecu boost and set it for 25psi and no issues

i have yet to go back and readjust the 1-2nd gear blocks. the car us stupid fast now, its working perfectly with boost control on 3-4-5 pulls.

more pics... -turbo refresh -intake and exhaust tract deburring -new coolant replacement hose for my adapter to the VW scirocco rad. -counterweight full removal to clear coolant hose way better -new bolts on the old Tbolt clamps. -new battery leads, Alt and battery (5 year refresh of system)...

yeah man! WGSDuty is the parameter to watch. the rest i need to remove.i was pretty frustrated, but at least we are on the same page and know those lil boxes mean something!

UPDATE TIME: sorry been slacking in this forum for uodates. all of this has been done. on my 7th trans. after this one pops im going auto and paddles.-3" full 304 brushed SS catback was custom fabricated and Tig'd by Elliot Maher, and reinforced at the muffler area for strength. i used the...

yeah im not sure if im going to use it or the target boost blocks. im really dialing in like 1% changes at a time to duty cycle and smoothing them like a timing curve. that is really what im focusing on.gonna go back out tonight and do some logs. i will again try and post one. i can provide a...

yeah im using the evc to hold boost at 25psi to redline. i always had 26psi hit, then by 7k was down to 21 and it felt slower. now ihe midrange is felt to redline. super nice.there is something weird with the gear blocks tho.....if i change 1-2nd blocks, it goes right back to iwg pressure on...

i tried, said invalid typeso it now works. perfectly. the lock numbers are EVERYTHING. they dont even mention them in the wikki. crazy. im at .62 and 20psi there.thanks guys. im seeing 28psi up top, 38lbs min. i saw 41lbs min but at that point, at 6000tpm the tires start burning out LOL...

ok i got a log, and boost acted weird, was oscillating wacky. 20-22 psi range. never did that before. tables are zeroed. enable boost checked. i did change the top lock # to .62 like in the video, and boost to 20 on the bottom lock. it shows on the log as well doing that. very erratic. didnt do...

im going to post a log. im 35 min away at work. after 4pm ill get the car out and post a log. i havent even captured a log as ive been watching the boost gauge so i dont blow up. logging wasnt giving me anything so i dont have any log to post yet.and before you ask...i have an aem uego and...

just got this from Tom D. didnt notice the lil button for it. i should be able to toggle it on and off in the ecu and verify it works properly. if it does.......the next question is why doesnt it alter boost level

thats another thing i have to check, yeah its a bit hard to do so alone (and im absolutely terrible with electrical diag...like bad) i stopped at 11pm last nite and parked the car. after work i can do that. something stupid is awry but i gotta find it yet.
