Well if you haven't seen my FP black surge thread, I found out that stock cams can't handle the back even at 18psi ... I'm waiting for a reply from Daren at FFWD for a set of DKS 272/272. I'll go bigger in the future but I still don't want to lift the head to do valve seat with Kiggly behive and...
Forget the weld in kit ... I've bought one from S&W race car and had to do it all over again ... I only used the main hoop and halo but would have build them if I knew I would need to build everything else.Save your money, buy what you need instead of a kit like bender and tube notcher and a...
I'm sorry guys I've been working like crazy at the shop this week ... Doing 13 to 16 hours shift so no time or energy to play with the car. But the good news is that I'll be able to order new parts this weekend.I'll take time to reply all of your question and I'll also create my DSM profile to...
Thank you very much TalonSpeed, wont be able to post a log tonight since I'm working over time at the shop. I'll try to post something tomorow after work with the mbc removed.Thanks :)
The wastegate is on a punishment racing o2 housing, it's a tial 38mm with 18psi spring in it. It's the recirculated one ... Only using a lower port with my Hallman MBC (who was unscrew all the way) and top port unplug just like they say in the instruction. I don't use the water ports on it.I'd...
Like Cracked said we could hear a loud "woush woushh" after a while under load at 5000rpm @ 18psi. When it happened we could see the needle in the boost gauge jump to 24psi than coming right back to 18psi untill the next "woushh" ...I'm still on stock cam and gear ... My base timing is set at...
I don't have any log :(I tryed the car at home on the street and it's a disaster ... My value are way too off at idle and the check engine was flashing when trying to go wot ... I don't even know how he was able to get to 5000rpm under load seriously.My link is still open and it's only a log...
No he has never tuned my car before ... We only have 3 awd dyno and he has a good reputation ... They are Lachute Performance and mostly work on subaru.Seriously I was like are you f*ing kidding me ? Than he started pointing my punishment racing o2 with the Tial mvs ...Last summer it's Gofer...
Hey guys, I'm out of the dyno and it's been horrible ! :(I don't know why but my FP Black started to surge under load at 4500-5000rpm. We where at 18psi and it was jumping to 24ish than 18 ... My tuner decided to stop tuning and he said YOUR TURBO IS TOO BIG FOR THE 2.0L. What the f*** is he...
Mine is done and it was a walk in the park. Just take time to label every connector you disconnect, even a kid could do it. Label than follow each wire one a the time, unpin them one at the time and look at each connector. You'll have wires for the dash harness that aren't in the harness from...
Thanks iugrad92turbo :)Sure Antony just send me your assembly and I'll do my best for you brother. Maybe I'll give Ziggy a call today about the meth ... I'm not that sure I'll need one since my air was already f*ing cold with my 5" IC ... Will see what he has to say :)
Here's my new setup ... Haven't start the car yet since I finished last sunday and it's been crazy at the shop. I plan to hit the dyno this time ...Gasket was shot so I putted a new oem 4 layers, fit way better than the MrCopper one I had for spare.Here's my new manifold coated and ported...
I know it's the same post as my build thread but I would have like to see this to save some time ...Here's my new setup ... Haven't start the car yet since I finished last sunday and it's been crazy at the shop. I plan to hit the dyno this time ...Gasket was shot so I putted a new oem 4...
Thanks for the help guys :)I decided to run water and have an other question ... Since I deleted the heater core, fiav and turbo water' lines on my old setup I have this bypass :If I plumb my feed line from the thermostat housing, will it really push coolant in the turbo since my return is...
Dude what adapter did you use ? Straight male 14x1.5mm to -04 AN male on the chra ? Then a 90* -04AN hose end on the back of the turbo ? Did you went with Banjo to -04AN ?Please let me know :)ThanksI hear ya man take a look at my build and you'll see I have too much invested and still...
Thank you very much brother :)I didn't buy the filter since I'm feeding from the ofh ... I guess I'm already screw about warranty because there's no way I'm paying for that inline filter. If I was feeding from the head I would have run one but I don't see why I would want one when feeding from...
Decided to hook 5 boost gauge that we had in stock with tee on the line. Regulator of the compressor was accurate when setting max pressure to 20psi.
They where all showing the same psi except the Glowshift.Did that test with an air compressor ... Not in the car if it wasn't clear ... ;)
Yeah my friend I understand that ... Seriously I would like to know what FP has to say about that. I don't really road race but things happen when I see v8 or a boosted honda haha :)I would have like to receive it with a different chra and never tought about water ... I'm just nervous about...
I know it's an old thread but I want to share what I can with my DSM brothers :Fab some bushing for the shifter shaft and they are awesome.And on the highway waiting for the tow truck with my blown turbo ... :(
I'm in the same boat brother ... Just received my FP Black and was thinking about the water line. I want to fab some with AN fitting but I know I'll have clearance issue on the cartridge when using banjo 14x1.5mm to 04an ... Pretty sure the hose end will not clear the chra when you'll try to...
Fab some bushing yesterday for the shifter shaft and they are awesome, I'll post some pics later today ...This morning my Turbo decided to blow ... Lost all power and there was smoke coming out of the exhaust. Not sure if it's the HG but I suppose it's the turbo since I lost all power going...
Intalled the 14b and L19 studs ... Everything is going great, I use the car everyday to get to work and it's awesome to drive. Steering wheel is straight and feeling like a go cart. I can feel everything on the road and it's just what I wanted. I like it a lot !About to get ready to go on the...
Back on the car waiting to get tested ...It was super easy to rebuild the throttle it's incredible. Just follow this vfaq: http://www.ca.dsm.org/faq/tb-shaftseals.htmlNow it's time to wire the IAT and MAP, I'll use the wires from the MAF.IAT Wiring

Alignment time :)Guys here love my car haha they started working 30 minutes late lolOk the 1gen is back in the garage. I was hoping to switch to SD in one evening but I started with a boost leak test. I'm still trying to fix that leak 3 days later ... At first it was leaking between the...

Yesterday I started to rebuild my driveshaft, it was super easy but I manage to hit myself right on the nose while pulling the first cap off the u-joint. I than started to bleed like crazy lmao ...I don't know why I putted my face right where I was pulling but it would have make a cool video...
I installed my transfer case Magnus cover without shimming the gears. It was just to modify my downpipe. It's an ebay one that i got for 80$ shipped. Even out of the box it wasn't perfect. It was hitting the stock transfer case cover a bit but worked for 1 summer. Decided to cut it and route it...
2 days ago I tryed to weld the brackets on the IC ... The breaker was popoing after 15ish sec. 40amp wasn't enough to weld it but at least it was enough spot welded in place. I went to see my welder yesterday and he was getting angry like I never seen before. How do you think you could keep a...
Haven't found any other way yet ... ;)Trailing arm, upper and lower arms are on. Rear bumper + cover is on and adjusted. 0ga wire for battery jumper are installed. SS bolts everywhere I could. 0ga done in the trunk, interior installed back in ...This is just a teaser since my phone was dead...
Man it was long cleaning while taking care but I'm happy because it's done :D
I guess it was good memories ;)Here's what I'm staring with this evening:This week I have no help at the garage so it took some time to bolt it back up alone yesterday ... My dog Igor wasn't really in the mood for...
It's almost 1am here and I'm finally ready for powder coat. Decided to pull the trigger and weld the control arm. Truck is full of parts that I need to go unload in my friend's car ... It was about time if you ask me ... ;)Got my parts back from powder coat. :)My friend forgot to plug...
The new alternator wire:Had to grind behind this bracket to make enough space for the wire. The abs ecu and wires are also gone. Had to unpin some at the front, was a piece of cake after the 2gen ...Distribution block for the front:Igor always there:
Dump tube completed :DJust need to add a support bracket and cut the exit at the right angle ...Now I needed an other 1/0 wire for the alternator and the kill switch. I always use bulkhead connector so here we go :)And one for the postive jumper post:
The only welds I've done on this car are the stich on the subframe. This morning I'm practicing with my TiG to get this sh*t done lol ;)Here's what I did yesterday:Bouya :)After 5 hours of praticing back:
Worked on the wiring yesterday ... Still not done, man it's boring I hate wiring so much ...Now the good news, I love my kill switch rod. Looks badass as hell :DBOUM ! :)Lincoln Precision TiG 185
Here's a small update of what I worked on yesterday ...I need to buy a TIG this week ... Getting sick of waiting for my welder ...And yes I'll trim the rod of the FlameRiver big cut off switch, you can already see a black line. It's made with a shaft and not a tube so I'll...
I know it's not a big update but it's something I want to keep in my build.The 2 bolts on the diff cover broke when I tryed to remove the mustache bar. Got one out after some work and welds but the other broke 2 other times ... Decided to give up when I remembered that I might have a spare...
Can't believe I never updated my build here ...4 bolts axle done rebuilding with new greace and boots.Old bearings and seals out of rear wheel hub/shaft :New goodies installed, I removed the ABS ring for weight saving (1/4lbs) :rofl: :)
Did anyone ever saw some brass one for 91 to 94 ?Just like those one for the 1990 : https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=18617&cat=1881&page=1I got one that just exploded and now shifter is kind of sloppy. Would be faster to machine a new set instead of going to the dealer ...
