Is it possible to put a newer evo manifold on a 1st or 2ng gen DSM? I would rather use a performance one instead of cutting up a stock on, since my project needs the TB on the other side like on the mighty max.
http://shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=146223This is a thread I've started over on shoptalkforums.com (a vw site for non purists, since thesamba gets kinda anal about stuff) asking about anyone who can make an adapter plate to mount a 4g63 to a subaru transmission. Can anyone get the...
Trying to do a bit of research and detective work to help out my dad. He has a very nice,almost new 1992 Blazer. Has a new motor,new trans,body is immaculate,just gorgeous. He paid $6000 for it from a guy here a few years ago by getting a loan through his bank.
I think he's getting screwed...
Well, I've been playing phone tag all day with Vanguard and my old company's HR department trying to get my retirement cashed out (need money for bills) and omg, it's nothing but a nightmare.Vanguard won't release my account until they have the final ending date from my old company. My old...
So I am somewhat of a paranomal seeker ( I read some paranomal forums and such when I get bored), and I got curious. I searched here, and found no one else ever posted anything other than a few ghost stories. I know this is a performance enthusiast website dedicated to dsms, but you can't tell...
I won't lie, I want an 06-08 Evo badly, and am always looking around, daydreaming. Well, today I decided to jump on Autotrader.com and look around for one priced about $14000. Found this gem::rolleyes:Cars for Sale: 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in Hialeah Gardens, FL 33016: Sedan Details...
Ok, so I'm on a quest to edumacate meself on the wonders of compressor map reading,and how to understand all the specs and such on a turbo. So far, so good. Ok, I lie. I started reading Garett's Turbo Tech series, and I've gotten to TT 103....yea, my nose started bleeding and I blacked out a...
Hopefully someone can do this for me without too much work. I want to see what these aftermarket front bumpers would look like sans fins and such. I am building a 92 awd frame, and it was in a wreck, so all the front sheetmetal is gone. I have fenders, and a front bumper from a 94 Eclipse, but...
Noticed a few posts on here about running Defi gauges without D-link, but nothing pertaining to what I need to know.I have a boost gauge (two actually, but one is a monstrous 3" bar style, me no likey) that was given to me, and I want to hook it up. I think I need d-link, but my God, I can't...
Love it or hate it, we all crack arse now and then. Tonight, I swear I'm gonna kill myself from whatever I've eaten.I may be high from the noxious vapors my body is releasing, but it got me curious.Post you're most horrific gasser stories. SBD's, raunchy ones, even "suprises".I...
So....yea. I can say I WAS a proud Conquest owner for a week. Until tonight when I got the Talon going again, and was in the process of driving it to my friend's house (he bought it from me). Yea, that was hard. SO hard....I ended up letting him take the Conquest and kept the Talon.I paid...
Just scored a pretty cherry(just needs slight body work and paint) 87 Conquest TSI. Couldn't help but fall in love with it when I saw it, had to have it, dropped most of my income tax return on it, and yea, now it's mine. Sitting next to my dilapitated 1g outside(she's gone soon, damn thing)...
Thinking about buying a second gen Supra from this kid and use it as a really cool old school dd. Still has the kick ass wide stock rims and everything.I'm not too sure though. Anyone on here know a thing or too about these cars, and what I should check when I go scheck it out? Btw, I...
So who here has more to their life than DSMs auto wise? Who's brave enough to build multiple vehicles?I have my talon, and just recently picked up a 74 Dodge W150 4x4 with a BB400/727 and 33s that's been sitting for about two years. I also have my dd 92 GMC Sierra 2wd cruiser that I'm trying...
Sorta. Got my hands on a clean 91 gsx awd shell. No title, but I haz planz lol. I hate to tear my car apart, but it's a necessary evil on my quest for a 1000hp 1g. Only way to tame that many raging ponies.I'm salivating at the thought of feeling absolute grip under heavy boost. Of feeling...
Of me selling or trading t for a motorcycle. After hanging out with Jason tonight (smalltowndsmer on here), I started to miss bike riding.Part of me screams to keep it and fix it. Other half screams sell it and move on. Find a cleaner dsm down the road, and go from there.I love my car...
do you all pay for parts from guys like John Shep, and Magnus? I mean, how do they stay in business with such expensive parts? I am not saying that it's bad, as you get what you pay for, but I don't know of many people who can affor $2500 or more for a stage 4 trans, or $12000 or more for a turn...
Looked up some threads here, but none mention Texas,and I know this state is it's own country, so here's my story.I found an awd for sale not far from here for a ridiculously low price, and has extra parts, etc. AWD, but unfinished, and NO TITLE.What must be done to get another title...
With the company I have been trying to get on with for almost 8 years now.I am now an official Frac Crew member of Pioneer Natural Resources. :hellyeah:So anyone else have an oilfield related job?
But she's such a bimch in the morning. Holy hell my head hurts.On a side note, I found reason #389 to love tuners.com.Found a thread on hangover cures.I bet if I keep digging, I will find a cure for asthma, relationship advice, job advice, etc.
I vote to change the name from...
I know people have heard of this website Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power but has anyone tried the porting method? Shrinking the ports? Just curious.
So getting ready to settle down here in Midland, but I was curious if anyone here in the Midland/Odessa knows of any good reputable machine shops around here? Not to mention body shops, mechanic shops, etc?Also, anyone close by or in this area? Looking for a few fellow DSMers to connect with...
Well, relocated to Midland for a new job (frac),and this being my first time in Texas, I have a question for the Texans here.....what the flipmodesquad is up with your roads???WTFThe highway interchanges.....lakes in the roads.....non-existant road markings...sharp right hand turns....and...
Decided I wanted to move my manual oil gauge in my cluster since my old gauge is dead (completely removed sender), so I got after it with a dremel. Here you go for your viewing pleasure lol. And yes, to all that are curious, that is me in the background, six chins nd all lol
Hate to start a thread on this, but does anyone out there have chronic sinus problems? Or had?
I've had them for most of my life, and I'm tired of it. Tried nasal washes, meds, etc, nothing works. Wondering if any fellow DSMers know of some home remedies?Any help will be appreciated. Thanks...
Ok, after a few hours of fruitless searching (not finding specifically what I need), I must post a question.Is there any specific way you must solder the pins for a laptop logger cable, and are the diagrams here correct? Or could someone post an exact diagram just to be sure? I have built...
Ok, so I finally have my Talon registered and legal, actually getting some seat time, man, I need to just redo this whole car.....but anyway, I found a few more strange "quirks" whilst driving around.Whenever I hit a largish bump, or am going downhill or recently, de-accelerating, my...
I want to slug the CEO of GM in his mouth so hard he instantly goes retarded, and then hit him again for good measure, and kill off his family.....I WAS driving a 1992 GMC Sierra C1500 2wd pickup up until a week ago when the clutch let go. Ok, it's been slowly going (only wheels I have for...
So what do you have churning and burning your tunes? If you can, post pics of headunits!:DAnd if anyone can tell me who's owning on the headunit market these days it would be appreciated. I hear Alpine is still numero uno.....:cool:
Will this work on our cars?Full Function Technology :: DSM :: Fuel :: Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) :: HKS :: HKS Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR)If so, why aren't people all over this? Alot cheaper than the whole Aeromotive or Fuel Lab setups....and factory looking. Stealthy....
I tried to search this, but couldn't find anything specific on it, so I'll stick my neck out to ask....What's the difference between starters on a N/a 4g63 and a Turbo? Both 2.0 mind you.Iirc, I think I read the turbo starter had a gear reduction? Wouldn't that be needed for a...
I'm looking into going to this school, probably for CNC machining. I wished I could take all three courses, but I don't have any way to pay that kind of money ($50,000 or so). But before I commit, I would like some third party opinions. Anyone out there know of people who went,and what the...
So I was scrounging my local boneyard the other day (found out they crushed the only four DSM's and one Hyundai I was taking parts from), and couldn't believe my freakin' eyes.A Starion.Not sure what year (started to rain so I split), but it's all there.Auto though, and digital...
So a few of my friends and I are all together tonight having a few beers, when we all get on the topic of cars. It goes from people we know with nice cars, to an all out argument about what's better:import, or muscle. V8s or 4 cylinders. Muscle is better.Tuners are better. Supercharged...
Those crazy Japanese. First they give us our cars, now they give us a way to know what our pets really think about our cars lol.YouTube - bowlingual voice dog translator from takaratomyJust too bad it won't be made with english translations lol. Better brush up on your Japanese!
Stupid question, did research, but to no avail. What color are the knock sensor wires on a 1g on the car side? Black and white? And I also have a HUGE brown wire with a white tracer with what looks like a black and yellow wire, and I think shielding wire? Will post pics of wire if need be. Thanks
Does anyone know where I can find a visual explanation of ignition timing? I don't care what engine they use (v8, inline 6, v6,etc), just so long as it has pictures of the whole process. I have tried reading the wikipedia on it, looked up youtube, streetfire, etc. I have found several videos and...
Well, I finally found the reason to my clutch crapping out. I have no dowel pins in my tranny (removed to change clutch and diagnose).
I don't even have the plate that goes between the tranny and motor (kinda like service plate?). I know this from looking at another motor on here researching...
In my quest to build my car into the monster I want, I splurged and bought a set of FIC 850cc injectors. I also have a 255lph wally, and an ECM Tuning rebuilt ECU.My question is:Am I able to run these injectors on a "stock" tune? I.e., stock injector cycle, stock fp, stock timing, etc...
Quick question, how often do the oil pumps go out on these cars? My car idles with decent oil pressure (stock gauge), but after a few minutes, slowly drops to zero, or off the gauge. I thought it was the gauge at first, but when I rev the motor,it comes up a little, then drops back down. I am...
Hrm....'twas thinking tonight(which is incidentally not a good thing for me:ohdamn:) and wondered....anyone ever thought about stuffing a 4g63 in any of the tiny little cars? I have an aspire as a dd and was wanting to boost it at some point....until I found out the motors are...well....cruddy...
I swear this car I bought has to be the demonic offspring of Christine, or the Lord just wants me to quit tinkering with cars all-together.
So today I FINALLY get the car drivable (still surging slightly), and get on my way home from my friend's apartment to mine.
The car drove very well for...
Ok, been looking on here for hours, can't find anything related to whats going on with my car.
So here's the skinny. I just got my car going tonight(91 Eagle Talon TSI, all stock except for a homebuilt exhaust which came with the car, and the modded MAF sensor). I got it idling ok, and took it...
Ok so I'm new here and to 4g63t's(why I'm posting in the newbies section lol) and I juat recently purchased a t3/t4 .60 turbo ( mine was blown in the coolant department). Is this turbo too big for a 2.0? All I know is it's HUGE compared to the stock 14g, and I know it will move ALOT more air...
