Jesse, you need to go with a real man's turbo like a sc-61 by pte and forget about that turbonetics/bullseye garbage :thumb: . Seriously though check out the 3575 for 1,145, it has your name on it.
I have a tial 38mm gate with a sc61 turbo (gt40 compressor wheel), and I have ran 15psi before without a problem.....30psi shouldnt be a problem at all.
That's great it has no rust, going to save alot of headaches later on. As far as the quarter mile, learn to drive the car, and make sure you tune the hell out of it and you will have easy 12's. There is way too many people running shitty times with great parts. Oh and as far as wheels, I...
jim90TSi - I would not get a talon if your sick of small cars. But besides that it looks like a solid car. It might be just the picture but is appears that the rear quarter panel lip is starting to rust. If this is true then you are going to want to get the fixed asap, it will rot away fast...
I'm at the Irwin Car Cruise on Route 30 almost every Saturday. That would be a decent place for a meet. Lots of cars, fast food joints around it, etc.It's in the Norwin Hills Shopping Center off of Route 30 in Irwin, every Saturday (weather permitting) from roughly 3-10.If anyone is...
The color is a 2005 General Motors color. Its called Sunset Orange Met. It has metallic and pearl in it. I went with the PPG Deltron series for my basecoat and clearcoat. The basecoat (color) is $110 per quart. The clear coat works out to be around $275 for the hardener, reducer, and a...
Thanks alot guys for clearing that up for me. I thought a 61mm compressor wheel meant 60-1, how would you define a "60-1"?92awddsm - Do you believe 200-300 rpm wait in spool between the 6031e and the 5252e would be worth it? Right now I am going towards the 5252e, only because when the...
Mods are in my profile. I was wondering how much faster the PTE scm-61 will spool up with a T31 wheel opposed to a T350 wheel. And the top end differences between the two. I am not intending to get a SMIM anytime soon, so my top end is limited to around 7800 rpm or so. My goal is around 400...
A little bit, but not much power loss below 3500rpm. And I put he cams in at the same time I pulled out my balance shafts, and put a new front cover on.
Just an update from me to you all: I put the FP 2's in my car (14b, etc-check profile for mods), and went from 80% duty cycles with 550's to 116% duty cycles with the 550's. 21 degrees of advance and no knock. Top end is great, I can now burn the tires off competely through frirst off of a...
I have never sat in any other racing seat except these, but they hold me in great 6', 220#'s. I have had alot of friends and my girlfriend sit in the passenger seat with out any problems, but I'd say if you have larger than like a 40" waist look some else for seats.
I use no cover or anything, I bought their sliding braket for the driver''s side and just bolted the passenger seat straight down. You have to fab up some framing rails for it to bolt in the sotck location, but it is simple. Just go to homedepot or lowes, and buy some strap steel, measure...
Coup D E'Tat--What a weak car and to think you paid $3,800 for it...and your still running that POS 14b on it. ;)P.S.--Guys, this car looks mint in person, the pictures dont do it justice. In a matter of weeks this thing is going to have shaved 2 seconds of its 1/4 mile time (at least) :)
The FP2's dont have a ton of loss down low when driving around town, I cant really tell a difference. With the price they are one of the best choices on the market now. I love mine, even with my little 14b. They idle for me around 14 inches of mercury. I would recommend them to anyone...
I got polyurathane seats from summit for like $30.00, and RCI 4 point harnesses. I drive the car everyday, the seats are supportive and arent bad to sit in for long drives. At 15 pounds a piece it will take a decent amount of weight off your car compared to using the stock seats. But it your...
I pulled both balance shafts out of my car. I took both bearings out from the front balance shaft. My problem is I cant get the far bearing back in. I have a socket that fits in the bearing perfectly then steps up to stop the bearing. I keep seperating the bearing though. The reason is...
The least expensive AFPR (besides the B&M) is made by full throttle speed. The full throttle speed regulator is bolt on. You could go other routes also. Going with a few other that will require you to run AN lines, which usually brings the price of the setup around or over $200. If you look...
Pressure Tester:
http://vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.htmlAlso, another place to check for that kind of problem is your cam angle sensor (CAS), make sure its plugged in, and all the wires are in good shape.Here's what the CAS looks like...
I use it when I have the extra money for it. I use Mobel 1 10W-30, and recently tried 15W-50. The point of me using it is to thicken the sythetic oil. The came out with a synthetic Lucas Oil additive, so you might want to check that out if you use syntheic oils. When added to your oil, the...
There are a ton of people who use grease on the inside lip of their t.o.b's and input shafts....I used grease when installed mine and it has been niose and trouble free. I dont see how it could be a threat to the clutch disk if you apply it properly and not over do it. Sounds like your problem...
The translator will work great alone, and with the chip it will work great. You will be able to get very nice tune on your car with the translator and a keydiver chip.
The ebay N1 imatations made by Megan racing are very nice mufflers for the price. I have the model with the 3" inlet, compared to a real N1 the outer canister diameter is smaller, making the muffler looking much more compact, the tip is 4". Also, comparing the Megan racing N1 to the Apex'i N1...
First, you need a set of decent tires (no walmart specials). Secondly if you do have decent tires (even if you dont have decent tires this will help) , try lowering the tire pressure, the tires will bite a little more off the launch. Thirdly, if you have larger wheels (17", or 18" inch) there...
Yes, go with 3" and never look back. I would go with a stainless system because or its strength and how durable it is. To run a 13.5 in the 1/4 you will also need a boost gauge, and boost controller, at least. Make sure you have a clutch in decent shape so you can get a good launch without...
Reading you post it sounds like you its coming from your valve cover. Either get a new valve cover gasket, or seal your existing one up with some RTV.Here's a little write up on how:http://dsmtalk.com/showarticle.php?threadid=90462Good Luck,Dave
I am getting the same code right now. It doesnt affect anything when it comes on for me . I am going to get another Fuel pump relay am put it in, if that solves the problem i'll let you know.
The auto zone, when I called, didn't have it. When I called advance they had it, but it could be a different story since you have a 91' and I have a 90'. Go luck.
Well, I had a 2nd gen MAS on my car and I moved on to the MAf-t set up....I liked the 2nd gen mas but had it hacked (Lower and side honeycombs) so I had to compensate for it a little more than normal with my afc. The only reason why I moved to the MAF-T setup is because I got a SBR interocoler...
Well if adjusting it doesnt work, then it is possible you have a broken emergency brake cable. They are about $45 from advance auto parts. I had to get a new one and installed it. It is quite easy, you should be fine.
When I rebuilt my head I had problems similar to what you have. One of my problems was the Cam angle sensor wires were broken off the harness on the sensor. Another one of my problems was I didnt have my spark pulg wires on in the correct order. From the coil packs from the front of the car...
This is a quote from Defiant copied from a past post, telling how to adjust the emergency brake:"1.Open the ashtray door and the cup holder door.
2.Gently yank up on the assembly, they will lift out as one.
3.Release parking brake, lower handle. Apply regular brakes.
4.Turn obviously...
I am going to try to cover most/all of your questions:There are a couple of approches you can take to stiffen your motor mounts. One which you could go the route of Prothane Polyurathane mounts. Which are very nice, I love mine. You can get prothane mounts from pretty much any one of the...
