High guys, long time member, first time posting in awhile. Heres the run down, 97GSX, 6bolt, ecmlink, blah blah blah, i was using the 12volt plug (ciggerette lighter) with a emergancy tire air pump to inflate a friends tire, tire was pretty flat, kept at with the lil air compressor that was...
So I hear the term injector duty cycle thrown out in the forums quite often and I feel that the term is used to loosely and generic and sometimes wonder if they understand this concept completley. Things like " how hard the injectors are working" and terms like "above 80% idc your pissing" so I...
Ok so recently I got like 4 questions asked my direction on how to relocate the master fuse box panel from under the hood and bring it inside to the glove box. Well, first and foremost, I have no pictures, I did this trick almost 2years ago so im also writing out of memory.The other two very...
Hey every one, just picked up another car, its a SW20 Toyota MR2 turbo with t-tops. As we all know the 4G63 is the king of 4-cylinder boost but i always heard the 3SGTE was the next best thing. I bought this car to become my new daily driver and this way i can put the eclipse under the knife and...
Hey guys I just wanted to share my results with you, there was a decent thread that lasted a while about a custom machined housing for a HX52. Only a few days after we got it running we hit the dyno. Boostdriven beat me by 40 horse, man, that guy can build a car! he got 660 and I got 620. I'm...
just did the weekend long starter class of EFI 101. the instructor was Brian Macy and he seemed very experienced. the seminar was held at the Kazien Speed headquarters right here in Tri Cities. it was a good experience, ill be honest and say alot of it was like "duh". I did learn alot though...

So I'm entertaining the idea of using nitrous on my car. I'm gonnaa be hittin the dyno agin here in only a matter of days. I have this ZEX bottle just sittin here doin nothin so I figure I might as well throw that biatch on the car. (Hey it might be the differance from 570HP or 600HP) my...
So my car has been eating altanators for breakfast lunch and dinner. Swear to the DSMgods that I change my altanator more than I change my freakin oil! I've had my current DSM for a lil over 3years. The first year and a half or so she ran off of a true OEM mitsu altanator. Well, once that died...
So imagine the trunk/hatch at the back of the eclipse where on the left it says "MITSUBISHI" and the other side reads "GSX". Well, my mitsubishi sticker on that left side is kinda peelin and old and I wanna replace it with a sticker that's has the triple diamonds logo and has the exact same...
Hey guys, I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to post a link for me that shows how to hardwire a apexi turbo timer with out the $20 plug and play harness.Before I get flamed for "not using the search" I want to explain that I'm for one, in shop and there is no internet here so...
So I just recently upgraded my daily driver from a 97 civic ex to a 99 prelude vtec. This car is twice as powerfull as my old civic (nothing like my GSX of course...) The fact that the prelude does have SOME power it just leaves me wanting more.So I've been entertaining the idea of boosting...
Well guys, since I often turn to this forum for addvise and opinions I thought I'd post what it is I got shakin down tomorrow morning. I'm trading my 2005 yamaha R6 fuel injected crotch rocket (that I bought brand new and now currently has 20xxx miles) for 1992 SW20 toyota MR2.This mr2 is a...

hey guys, i thought id share with you all the under hood service light that i have rigged on my car. ive seen a few cars that come stock with a underhood light but the light it self is so whimpy that its like basically useless. but after seeing a few cars thar come stock with a underhood light i...
id like to get a few opinoins on this current water meth set up i have. bassically i have a AEM kit with a few extra nozzels. the new updated nozzels have a internal check valve in it (vs's the original versions that did not) which i figured would help aginst vacume if they were mounted on the...

is it possible to have your coolant system get pumped up with boost pressure because of the throttle body? sounds stupid but really think about it. so i use a 1G non-turbo TB just like most of you on here to make it easier to hook up the upper IC pipe. well, the other day i took my throttle body...
car cuts out when shifting fast. my car seems to be tuned ok, thing pulls strong. recently made 505awhp at cobb tuning. car uses dsmlinkV3, a 3'' GM mass air flow as a blow through in my upper IC pipe, a omni4bar map, and pte 1000cc injectors. ive seen them log max 100% duty cycle but car had a...

for the regulars on here you'll recall a discussion a few days ago about a honda throttle body used as a exhaust cut out. well i just wanted to share some pics of what my friend just did to his downpipe on his eclipse.fabed up a wastegate into his downpipe to be used as a releife valve. the...
so i have this idea to use a TB as a exhaust cut out. i think to releive some pressure out of the down pipe would do some good. i tryed to mock up a stock mitsu TB under there. and she seemed a little to bulky. a friend gave a honda TB to try. the outside shape of it is considerablly smaller...
so i curently have the AEM water/meth kit, im using 3" intercooling piping with a 3" GM air sensor in the IC pipe. my 550cc meth nozzel is mounted after the GM sensor but befor my throtle body. my problem is, is that the inside of my 3"GM air flow sensor is getting caked in meth residue.i...
i have the battery in the trunk with a 1gauge wire that goes from the positive post all the way the whole length of the car up to the engine bay where that hot 1awg wire goes into a power distribution block, basically a bus bar with a cover on it. from there i have the stock wires that used to...
so as we all know in the modern day and age of tuning we use wideband (0-5 volt signal) O2 sensors to fine tune our fuel maps. apparently, theres super acurate to the tee knock sensors now to fine tune ignition maps. do i understand this right? is anyone familure with "Gizzmo" brand? a friend...
car wont start on vpc at all. as far as i can tell i have everything hooked up right. intake air temp sensor is mounted in the top on my upper intercooler pipe and its hooked up. the map sensor has its own direct vacume source right off the plenum. the sensor is on about 4-5"s of 3/16 hose and...

i really need some help with a aem uego wideband gauge. the uego i got was used from a guy with no instructions. ive searched for hours on the net but have only found info on a uego A/F gauge that has a 4pin and a 6pin connector on the back. the strange thing about my gauge is that it doesnt...
will a starter from a four wheel drive GSX work in a front wheel drive GST? i ask because im pretty sure the flywheels between the two differant models have differant thickness'es. i dont wanna give my buddy a starter that isnt gonna work.
so a friend of mine gave me a set of lifters that he said are better than the 1g lifters that ive always used. he said he cant remember if they were 2g or 3g tho. the 1g lifters i took out of my head have a tiny oiler hole, very small. the small hole lifters are extreamley tight to try to...

today i bought a AEM uego wideband used from a friend of a friend. inbetween the actual O2sensor and the qauge is a little brain box lookin thing that says AEM uego 2 channel controller. right by this "controller" there is a homemade splice job. (im pretty sure its homemade) and there is a...
my six bolt engine is the jdm version that came with a 1990 style oil cooler. the oil to air not oil to water. i need to replace my oil pump. can i put any 1st gen pump on and still use the filter housing that uses the good oil to air style cooler?
hey guys, i posted on here a couple weeks ago about how i rebuilt my engine and it wouldn't start by the key, and how it only had 75-80 psi compression. the regulars on here should remember me. so i did the tow start on the car with 450 injectors. the thing came right to life.i let the...
