'98 GS-T with 6bolt swap. I installed a XACT flywheel, but didn't pay attention to whether it was a FWD or AWD at the time -- turns out it was an AWD flywheel. Anyone know if this will still work if I use the longer nose starter? It doesn't work with the starter I have now -- won't engage b/c...

I may have missed it, but are you running the MAFT in blow thru or draw thru?

Does anyone know the official name (or part number, if you have it) for the part referenced in this pic? I need a new one from Mitsu, but the local dealer isn't too good at identifying parts without the "official" Mitsu part name (as it appears in their system) and/or #. Searched high and low...

Not necessarily -- depends on your goals. If you're primarily straightline street or strip, then go for it. For serious twisties and autox, my vote goes to a Torsen type like the Quaife.Nice thing about the instert is that it engages as quickly as a clutch-type LSD (Kaaz); it's a little...

I disagree, but I'm not going to worry about it. One thing to keep in mind is that Topline provides many OE Manufacturers with their "OEM" replacement parts. Your lifters are a good example.

Do you have any additional examples, or is your evaluation based on just this one experience? To say that a company sucks based on one observance of one product they sell is ludicrous...Topline has many more products for many more applications.Do you have any additional experiences with...

Not doubting or arguing, but how? Material used, production process, lifespan, etc.? Lots of factors out there, so I'm wondering which you're referring to.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has any contact info for getting in touch with someone at www.taboospeedshop.com? I've tried the onslaught of contact forms and email addresses on their website, and have tried emailing Martin personally -- does anyone have any additional contact information...

I'd be interested in seeing a pic of the ^^ setup.

Anyone have any additional thoughts on this?

I also have a question about using 3" piping, but it's a little different. Should still be relevant to the original poster's question, though.Has anyone considered (or somehow measured) the effect that 2.5" piping has when used in conjunction with the GM MAF in blow through? You're going...

I saw that thread, but didn't want to hijack it with a different 3" question...sorry. I'll pose my question in there and make it fit the discussion.

I know it's best from a hp & boost standpoint for my application (don't really NEED bigger), but is it best in terms of smooth airflow and turbulence? From what I've read, the 3" most likely would not adversely affect my setup, but I was hoping for confirmation one way or the other on this. I...

Hi all. I have a question on IC piping that I'm sure someone can help me with. I'm piecing together my own IC piping and want some advice on the best size to use. My setup includes a 6-bolt, a T04B turbo from Bullseye Power, a FMIC with short route piping, and a 3" MAFT set up for blow...

I'd say keep your logger. While the LM-1 provides the ability to log quite a few variables, it's missing some of the key items that a logger can log. One of the main things I see is that you'd lose the ability to log knock -- that reason alone would justify keeping the logger, in my opinion...

First thoughts for 18-20psi on a daily driver on pump are that 550's aren't enough. But, like Blue mentioned you'll have to give it a shot to see. In addition to looking at your A/F with a wbo2, a good start would be checking injector duty cycle with your logger on the b16g. Would definitely...

Thanks Omega. That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure I understood correctly.

Are you running the wideband unit in place of one of your narrowbands? If so, do you have it in the front, rear, or another bung you drilled? I'm running a test pipe, but have a spot for my 2nd o2 -- thought about running it there all the time. Any thoughts on this?

Sorry, missed your post when I posted my reply. Which model did you go with? How do you like the gauge? I have a pretty blinky meter, and wouldn't mind replacing it with something useful.

Thanks for all the input -- very helpful.Jeff, If I go with the PLX, I'm undecided between the 250 and 300. I know the only difference between the two is the digital readout, but don't have enough experience with tuning to know if the digital is worth it. If you had it to do again, would...

I normally read and don't post, as I don't have anything valuable to add at this stage. However, I'm in the process of purchasing both DSMLink and a wideband currently, and have just a couple of questions. First, I know that link is designed with the TechEdge in mind, but that basically any...

While I can't review on their product as I don't have it yet, I can review on their level of service & technical knowledge: they are fantastic. In my/our experience with David at Bullseye, we've been nothing less than blown away by their (Bullseye as a whole) collective knowledge and the level...

Sorry...missed that you had addressed supporting mods in your original post!I was in the same situation -- EvoIII or 50-trim. EvoIII wouldn't going to leave any room down the road, and in my opinion wasn't going to consistently & reliably produce 350whp on a daily driver on pump. The...

First, is your mod list up-to-date? If so, are you planning on adding any supporting mods when you upgrade the turbo, or are you going to wait?Second, are you dead-set on one of these two turbos? Or, are you willing to consider others that meet your criteria?

One note -- I don't have one yet, but the 22lb gate has been reported to hold boost rock solid on internally gated 3" turbo-back exhausts. Add to this that the actuator has an adjustable adjustable range, and it's a pretty sweet setup. If you're looking at the v-trim, you may also want to look...

Another thought is that you could run a surge tank along with a nice inline. Then run whatever low pressure pump (within reason) you wanted intank.

Mods, please move this if this is not the correct place to post -- I just figured it was the place where I'd "most likely" find what I'm looking for... I'm rebuilding a 6bolt to drop into my 2g, but the machine shop I normally use doesn't have a torque plate. :( They do great work and I trust...

The "best" setup using stock parts would be: 1g TB, 1g intake mani, 2g ported head with 3- or 5-angle valve job, 264/272 combo installed (fork out the extra for some decent adjustable cam gears -- you'll be glad you did). Down the road you can hog out the 2g head even more, extrude hone the 1g...

I think what loreak is trying to get at is: at least spend an extra $100 on a fuel pump.;)

This thread is a great discussion -- pros, cons, different experiences, and an overall wealth of information on 50 trim combos (which happens to be the setup I'm pursuing). Thank you and keep it up! I haven't found many tuners around my area who have "major" setups that I can witness, so I...

First thing to do is get the agxs on the car if they aren't yet -- that will help quite a bit. If you still want more, I think dejon tool makes a rear suspension (temporary) lift kit that helps keep the back of the car from squatting when launching or accelerating hard when downshifting into...

Thanks for the reply and clarification on the reply. :DI know that I can piece one together for lots less, but in this (long-term) case would I benefit more from purchasing a comprehensive kit with all new parts, gaskets, etc. from a vendor? I'd rather piece one together for cost sake, but...

Looking for some opinions on this. I'm planning on going with a 14b for a little bit, and will of course need some install parts. I want to go with a 20g down the line, so I'm thinking about buying an "official" install kit from a vendor instead of making my own. Would this be the best...

Man, that sucks! I guess this means that I can't slap together a 60-1 and .43 with the Home Depot epoxy I bought last night? I was even going to use some silver RTV to help seal it, being the good little tuner I am. You know, I had planned on the process of writing a vfaq on how to attach the...

Nice choice of DSM (I may be a bit biased).Not sure about the Dragger II, but I have a 3" Thermal cat-back with tp, mated to a HRC 3" o2 and downpipe. Nice deep sound, not too loud, great performance (butt dyno), very pleased overall. My decision was between HRC/Thermal and RNR kit w/Apexi...

This may help a bit...got it from another post.Dont use the 2nd (bottom) NIPPPLE Quoted from the GReddy website FAQ section (take special note on the parts that I bold and underlined.) BTW.. that VFAQ site that showed the 1/2-A$$ed setup of the Type-S using the wrong (1st Gen BOV) flange...

I don't think that EGT's are crap, but I do agree that most people don't know how to use/read them. You definitely can't tune with an EGT alone - you need logging software. I DO think that it can prove very useful if used properly, but it's a MUST that you understand what you're doing. Also...

Unless you don't plan on upgrading much and assuming you have the money and time to install now, definitely do it now. You won't regret having an EGT, even if you don't make good use of it currently. It will be an asset you "can't" live without once you progress along the upgrade path. I plan...

Well, I'm still looking for info on the use of both harnesses/features together, but I'll pose the question a little differently to get some insight.Does anyone have any ideas on a best method for adjusting fuel and timing with E-Manage? The logging software doesn't log knock, so I'm...

ttt

Thanks, but I think I'm going to give E-Manage a shot for now. If it doesn't work out the way I'd like, I can always switch to something different (like DSMLink).Anyone out there who's used these E-Man capabilities together that can provide some info?

For anyone who has tuned or is tuning currently with E-Manage, what is your opinion specifically on the use of the ignition and injector harnesses together? Was it easy or difficult to tune the proper timing and fuel settings (compared to an SAFC)? What additional tuning components have proven...

One quick question for you -- are you buying the "package" deal from AGP with the SFP manifold, L3R turbo, external wastegate, etc?You may want to stock up on axles....there's no way you'll build that and then resist temptation to drive it like you stole it.

I agree -- how about a 2g 20g from slowboy? All turbo prices are about equal (28 variants, 2g 16g, and 2g 20g b/c no install kit needed). Like someone said above, it's all about what you want out of the car. I've come to realize that while I may not become a stoplight to stoplight monster, I...

Sweet - This is what I figured would be the "right" way to go. Thanks!

An additional idea, if you're in the same situation as me, is to fab a CO2 I/C sprayer for those times when you really need to squeeze the extra boost out of the T25 and stock sidemount. I don't want to upgrade to a larger sidemount b/c I'm going with a larger turbo at year-end and will upgrade...

I'm ready to buy intake, BOV, MBC, and I/C piping. I'll also be adding turbo-back exhaust now, and upgrading everything but the turbo in the next couple months (new turbo after I max this one out). I'll know I'll need some fuel management soon, and I'm pretty set on the MAF translator and...

Anyone have any additional ideas on this?

I have just shy of 68k miles on it. New clutch, new master cyl, lines, and fluids were put in back in Jan, and we bled the system 'til d@mn well then. Could stalling hard like that temporarily hydroloc the master and keep the slave from closing long enough to allow in some air? I'm really...
