Im trying to take out my cables and there is absolutely no way to get them through the firewall im stumped, there removed from the tranny and I unbolted the rubber grommet by the fire wall but cant remove them from the shifter basesuggestions?

I took off every bolt that I could see, it wiggles a little but I cannot get this damn thing out, can anyone chime in on this?Thanks:hellyeah:

as I tore apart my harness I found that mitsu just crimped a few of the same color wires to one or a few wires to basically attach them all at one point? is this okay to do so cause I have a few plugs to wire in still and not enough wires and according to all the diagrams I was given a lot of...

I will be posting a build thread soon, sorry im im posting to many threads I cant figure out how to delete them or mark them as resolved for others to look at in the search function like I have from all the help of some great DSMers :hellyeah:But yada yada back to the good stuff. This...

First off with out dsmers and this website I wouldn't be building my 3rd dsm and this one being a drag build so its a big deal, you guys are awesome and have helped so much so thank you all, now I can help others with the same problem.So for diagnosing my no start after wire tuck and push...

As im trying to diagnose a no start, I came across 3 wires in the engine bay harness that I believe are for a emission solenoid or something the colors areWhite w/ greenGreen w/ redBlack w/ whitethey are taped together and have the stock protective sleeve on them.car...

After my wire tuck im still diagnosing a no start...my ignition wire did heat up and start smoking due to a bad relay yadayada that's fixed now but it did melt some of the insulation which I believe runs right with the cam angle sensor...so now im thinking I have a short so I was wondering if I...

Im trying to diagnose a no start..dsmlink v3 hooked up and im wondering if you can check CELs that come up while cranking? When I turn my key " on" the lights pop up then shuts off, go to crank the car and it just cranks and cranks no start and a cel is popping up but shuts off if I stop...

I was thinking of getting a spare valve cover to do some custom engraving with a dremel or something, I wouldn't go to deep just deep enough to get some paint in between the lines to help see the picturethoughts? my only worry is cracks..

This wire is getting to hot and almost started my car on fire last night...I turned my key "on" and a bunch of smoke started coming from the bay...ran and unplugged the battery and ripped apart the harness and its that random weird ground wire with that connector so I cut the wire at the...

I was thinking 272/264, im looking on others inputs/ possible numbers aswell..not trying to blow her up yet..still have to get a few things to finish the built 2.3.. winter is coming so I have some time to work with but she is awd....:hellyeah:

So im pretty much all done with the tuck minus making it super pretty, I deleted all emissions/ac/powersteering only kept the basics so is it okay to cut out the stock emission connectors and wires? or are they hooked up to a relay that connects to something else, just want to get rid of...

Is this possible using my own relay? I have everything hooked up but i still cant start the car with the button, pretty sure my accessory wires are mixed up, any help?

Found why Ironman wont start...keeps blowing the ignition switch fuse, so that indicates a short in a wire somewhere, yes I have searched the threads and know how to fix the problem just need to know what all is In the ign. switch circuit...( o2 sensor, fuel pump, what else should I trace down...

Hello fellow tuners, hopefully someone could shed some light on a few issues I have.. Ive started my " ironman" build and just finished the wire tuck/ emissions/ ac/ powersteering delete yadayada got rid of everything that the car doesn't really need...street car turned to a drag car/weekend...

Okay so i just installed DSMlink v3 lite, and starting to get this thing tuned, aswell as pass emissions.Got all the base settings dialed in and so forth, started to drive the car and tune it, when we ran into a mis fire once the car reaches about 4k- 4500k and 5-6 psi, it studders and...

I have my radar plugged in and it would work fine everyime, out of no where it stopped turning on, but the light around the outlet still lights up when the key is " ON".and yes i checked the fuse to make sure it wasnt blown, and its not. I checked all grounds and they seem to be fine...

I knew my battery was going out, I charged it up and have been driving it for a few days, however last night my volt gauge was reading, 12, 12.2 volts while driving. Rather 13.8 before. The next morning it was dead, no power what so ever.So i swapped a new duralast redtop battery and its...

Im wondering if i can swap a 2g gsx gas tank into my gst and run a awd exhaust.not looking for a heated debate, just a simple yes or no answer. thanks

Just need help on which brand of manifold this is, i was cleaning out the garage and found this

Im curious on how to line up the timing marks, should i make sure #1 piston is top dead center, then put the head on? How do i line up the cams with the head off? I know theres marks on the gears but should i line those up, then put the head on?

Im doing a full wire tuck, and wondering if its okay if i can take off the brake lines that run along the drivers side shock tower..? I think there abs lines, correct me if im wrong.

This is my first dsm build, after spinning a rod in the 7 bolt, its now time for a 6 bolt.P.S. im a junior in high school and doing this all bymyself, with the help of fellow DSMers.As for the block, sent it out to be machined, hot tanked, decked etc.Brand new 1g rods, 1g crank, arp rod...

I just got my block back and put together. Resurfaced and everything. Im installing my ARPs, cometic headgasket and putting on the head. I know theres a million threads about this and people using different methods and what not. why cant there just be a set sequence and torque spec?.. anyway...

Going to pick up a used 6 bolt block with stock rotating assembly. He said oil pump seized, what else should i check? Cylinder walls are good.

the other day I was driving home when I heard a little pop noise then it had like no power. I have a exhaust leak out of the o2 housing due to a broken bolt. after driving it hear a tick or a knocking noise coming from the engine. could the turbo have blew? its a 14b.

Now that its cold out, my car doesnt like to start on me... It will crank realllllllllllllllllllly slow and i just here this bad like grinding noise from the starter hitting the flywheel?is it time for a new starter and new cables?

I installed my tial bov finally, everything seems to be going okay other than under low boost it will just surge, and when i floor it it will blow off somewhat strong ( sneeze haha) but it seems like something is nnot right. My friends blows off way louder under low boost and doesnt surge...

So out of no where my car isnt starting. Just did plugs, wires, fuel filter, the whole 9 yards.My car is just cranking, volt gauge is reading all the way to the left(8 volts) so i charged my car and I cranked it, it shot up to 2500k and heard this very loud grinding, noise. like flywheel...

So my gas pedal is stuck at the top position, i have to like slam it to the ground to get it not to stick. When i shut my car off for a few minutes it does it again.I checked the throttle cable, and it has some slack?what should i do?

My car is misfiring, when i start it up it idles at reall low vac, idles all over the place and it wants to die.I figured out it was a misfire, now im trying to figure out why.Brand new spark plugs and wires, coil looks good too.maybe my timing jumped a tooth? what could it be?

Does anyone know where the hafe performance manifolds went? I cant find them anymore. Im looking for a new manifold thats flanged for a external gate. (38mm)suggestions.

okay out of no where, my clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor with like no resistance. my friends stock clutch has way more. It has trouble going in and out of gear, and the contact point is pretty much all the way in, you barely have to let it out for it to grab.whats the deal here...

When my car is cold, it wont idle, it will idle at 500, even lower and be bouncing all over the place. Also, im getting less than 8-5 hg of vac. and the needle is shaking really bad.After i drive and boost it it will idle at around 1000, to 1100 and be getting 15 hg of vac. What else could...

I just installed this aftermarket throttle body, built with BBK.I got it in, now the gas pedal is super light, takes nothing to get it to the floor, i tried adjusting the throttle cable, but it raises the idle and not the firmness in the pedal.any ideas?

Okay this is really getting annoying, my car idles like absolute crap. Im pretty sure the timing jumped or something, my boost gauges wiggles like crazy at idle, and it will drop low passed 900 rpm and even 750 rpm. I have to flick the gas to keep it going. Once the car is warmed up, it idles...

I found where the wires go to off the HKS website, im just curious as to where you guys tapped into for the wires.if anyone has installed this one please help. I believe it is the hks type 1, its silver, lights up orange

As the title states, im lean at idle( ---) or even 16, 17, 18 afrs.when im cruising, im seeing 16 17 afrs, when in WOT its maxed out rich, 10, 11 afrs.what could be the problem? i only have a walbro 255 re wired, and fuel labs afpr. could i adjust the afpr?

Just picked up my hx35, now a few questions...it has the stock t3 housing on it, would i be okay just leaving that and getting a t3/t4 manifold for now? my buddy is selling me he which is already set up for a 38mm external gate.and Oil feed and drain lines:I was reading that the...

Could i run a 8 gauge wire or( different gauge) to a switched source for my fuel pump? so it turns on when the key is "on"yes i searched.okay im just going to try it and see how it goes.

My car takes awhile to start, it will crank for a few seconds and then start, This happens on every start, unless i shut it off and start it again in a few minutes like if im getting gas or something.This means its not holding fuel pressure. I have a fuel labs afpr and a rewired walbro 255...

Okay im trying to install my hid kit and the directions are not clear at all. I took some pics to see if you guys can help me and tell me with plug goes where.theres a " control box" that has a postive battery wire with a inline fuse, a ground wire, and two little wires( red and black) no...

I was reading the vfaq, but the pictures are to small and not really detailed, its hard to follow what the guy is doing.I was wondering if anyone has better pics or a link that could help me out. My battery is relocated to the trunk so i dont have that much wiring to do, just a little...

Correct me if im wrong, but aren't 1g cams a little bit more aggressive than 2g cams?

This is a very nice system, but it only bolts up to a vibrant downpipe, its about 8 inches short of my megan racing dp.So what i did was cut some off my old apexi n1 system, welded it on and bolted it up. Everything sounds really good, lot quieter than the apexi, sounds more like a megan...

I know there is a member on here that has one and not to sound creepy but ive been trying to find it, he has a white 2g that has pics in a air plane hanger lol.I was wondering about this exhaust for my gst, if its 3inch, and runs underneath the axle.please post pics if you have this...

Im almost done with my custom exhaust for my gst, but it routes underneath the gas tank and then has a angle for the muffler, i made a bend so it goes underneath without hitting it and coated it in some hi temp paint. should i be okay?

So being 16, working part time, dont have lot of money so i couldnt pass this up.Been wanting a beginner welder to practice, and finish my custom exhaust anyway....so i went to harbor freight. I bought a 90 amp flux wire welder for 110. and bought a 2 year plan so if anything happens i...
