im pretty sure it takes 6 full revolutions for the cam pulleys and the crank pulley to line back up. So try that out before you suspect jumped time. (I dont want you to replace the Tbelt and all supporting replacements for nothing...) No compression is something that makes sense to me. But has...

slap a 1g on there and recirculate it.

are you talking like revving in neutral or driving the car. Because if your revving in neutral that doesnt sound right. 5-8 lbs sounds right for a stock gst. Whats the problem. Is the car not driving right under 5-8 lbs?

oil in your intercooler pipes is there alot? sounds like blown turbo seals. leaking oil into the compressor housing. unless is coming from the intake, in which case you have a problem their. either way you need to look into it asap. could be something small.

yeah man. slow it down. You need to get this figured out asap or your going to just drop your bottom end. how much fuel have you pulled?

.......43 degrees timing. yeah i dont think thats good. Im no expert on tuning but that timing pull sounds waaay out. not to mention alot of knock

do alittle bit of reading on crank walk. only happens to lets say 1-2% of 7bolts. get new bearings that match the crank. (oem will do the trick) theres a color code that matches the oem crank to the oem bearing. (different cranks were machined to different specs, or maybe it was the bearing were...

there arent any rebuild guides that ive come accross yet. But what you may want to try is looking into build blogs. There are a couple of them on here that are like 25+ pages. with pictures practically every step of the way. they also have info on problems that came up. etc etc. I would def do a...

bees wax? like actual bees wax? Ooo sounds like i may not need a trip to the machine shop. would it be okay to mig weld instead of tig. Id like to try to get the bolt out without removing the turbo.

maf translator is only needed when you plan on using a gm MAF. How you use a gm maf is up to you. Do some reading if your interested in the maft. The FAQS have a sick write up on it.but do some reading up on tuning with a SAFC (also in the FAQS) . Its quite easy if you have a wbo2. id say...

so ive had my dsm for about 2 weeks now, ive been slowly correcting the past owner(s) many mistakes and i start investigating the exhaust leak i have somewhere around my manifold-turbo-downpipe. I remove the top heat shield to find a small crack in the manifold.Better yet, one of the mani...

what are your power goals with this build? Also whatever tuning your doing make sure to grab a wbo2. Just to make sure you dont get too rich or too lean. Its more for safety , but it will also help with your tune, your overall power, and some mpgs if done correctly. But if your just looking to...

follow the obd port wiring to the ecu. and get back to us. also, look at the plugs them selves. Make sure none of the wires pull out of the back of the plug. But be careful not to pull too hard And look into the plugs. (you would be surprised how those things can corrode with no water....)

Personally, i think its a needed. Unless you plan on having a shop tune the car, and dont want to know how to mess with the tuning yourself. But if your interested in learning how to tune youve already made the good choice of dsm link. Now go get you a AEM wideband o2 or equivelant grab all the...

The block doesnt really matter since you already said your planning on rebuilding it. I would recommend using 8.3-1 or 8.5-1 compression, i wouldnt really go much higher if you plan on running large amounts of boost. I dont know much about the 4g64 block so if you go that route definetely do the...

I have a 6bolt motor in my gst...

so far ive basically replaced all the hacked up vacuum set ups. Checked for boost leaks. Recirculated the bov. Replaced the tb and gasket. swapped back to stock injectors. turned the corrections off on the afc neo. and now im replacing the ps pump and the alternator. Just got done getting them...

yeah. tonite after class im swapping out the the alternator and ps pump. (it makes noise when turning). Yeah i considered the 1g, but i got the 2g in a trade. Paid no cash for it, and i havent paid anything for all the parts im getting off the 1g. (Got a sweet deal going with the old lady). plus...

Im getting a new FB and hood that are factory paint silver. (Im hoping it will blend a little better then a fresh coat. ) and the fb is already cout out for a fmic. so all i need is some piping and a core and we got something. but yeah those are the pics of the car. toomorrow is a possible...

im gunna steal some pics from the sell ads just as a refrence.heres some teasers....

So this is going to be quite a long post. After trying to acquire a dsm for quite along time i finally got mine.Where should i start. I got a freshly rebuilt 97 gst. 2g1g rod combo. 2g pistons, and a ported polished head. 16g turbo. (read profile) etc etc (this is the car that i was...

Ive been on the forums reading for a while. I have prior knowledge of cars and forced induction in general. But never on a dsm. I just cant wait to get my hands on a dsm...:rocks: :hellyeah:

yeah. ive come to that conclusion. I dont think i can trust what he says. Especially when im trading my daily, and I need a dsm to be a daily. Ive actually got a deal in the works for a 1gb with a 6bolt swap. Ive been talking to the guy for a while. The car is bone stock with the exception of a...

i just got some info outta him. Hes saying its a 4bolt rear end. BUt the old rear end was pretty much destroyed so he scraped it. and the crank he just got rid of because of the issue of crankwalk. but hes saying that he just bought the transmission rebuild kit from shepard. and had the tranny...

its actually a trade. He just had a kid, and he was looking for a family car. Im trading him a 2000 vw golf 4dr 5spd n/t. but ima ask him about the crank and and the tranny. and as long as the rear end is a 4 bolt, i dont really care. I just have never heard of a 5bolt or a evo rear end going...

so as the title says im looking into buying a dsm. and there are a couple things that just dont sound right to me. After doing some searching on here, and on google i came up with nothing so im just going to ask.The guy claims a couple things. First off, it a 97 talon tsi awd. He...

Yeah, I was going to look into getting a datalogger first, to one check thecels, and to make sure the turbo isnt causing a major difference in the ecus normal operation. From what i saw though, it was quite small to be a 20g. The guy is telling me a its a bastard 20g? Im going to be getting the...

Hi fellas/ladies (if there are some on) My names Ceir Getting my first dsm/turbo car. My first car love was with a 200k mile 91 240sx KA. But that was my first car and a daily. Its been three years and im ready to move on.Dont let the name fool you(I almost bought a 97 gst about 1.5...
