    Questions for Justin...

    I just purchased a rtm bolt on 12an drain kit for my hx40 setup. Will I be ok with this? I also have a 4an feed for it from the ofh with no restrictor but I have balance shafts still so I was told I don't need a restrictor. Is this correct...

    Questions for Justin...

    I am selling my Frank level 3 and going with a hx40 instead. I am going to run the bolt on dsm bep housing. I have to choose between the 8 blade or the 6 blade. How much more does the 6 blade flow over the 8 blade. I am getting a freshly rebuilt 8 blade for 300 if that's a good deal but I...

    Questions for Justin...

    Nothing in the thrust bearing behind the compressor wheel. That's all i checked. No metal looks good.Its now reassembled, lubed, taped up, and waiting on a comp cover.I just contacted the person I bought it from and he said it was recently rebuilt when he got it. Its been sitting for about...

    Questions for Justin...

    Im sending it to Turbo labs America to have a housing machined so it should be all good. No metal in it was checked just has the compressor housing issue. I checked and this turbo is rated at 500hp is that right. Hope to have this turbo on the car soon. Would Fic 950's be good enough on 93...

    Questions for Justin...

    So if i change the compressor housing the turbo will be good since that is the only problem with it. The turbine side is perfect. If all it needs is a compressor housing ill just buy a cheap 3" inlet td06 housing and have it machined since polishing out the grooves can't fix it. I'm sure its...

    Questions for Justin...

    The person who rebuilt it had the turbine clipped and changed the compressor wheel but didnt change the compressor housing. I'm either going to run it as is or try to get a compressor housing machined for it. How bad will it mess up compressor efficiency? Will it spool slower or not make as...

    Questions for Justin...

    The turbo has zero shaft play since it was recently rebuilt by the previous owner. The compressor wheel doesn't look bad and is still matches with original specs for inducer/exducer. Couldn't i just replace the compressor wheel with this one. Garrett 60-1 Turbo Turbocharger Compressor Wheel NEW...

    Questions for Justin...

    I have a frank 3 20g with a clipped td06 and 3 inch inlet. Would it be worth it to upgrade the turbine wheel to a unclipped td06h? What is this turbo capable of as is? Cant find any power ratings on it anywhere especially a clipped frank 3.Just took the compressor housing off and found...

    What Turbo is this? [Merged] Turbo ID Identification

    I purchased this turbo thinking it was a regular 20g. The turbo says frank level 3 on it meaning its supposed to have a td06 turbine but the specs don't match from vfaq. Also it has a 3" compressor inlet. I measured it with a digital caliper. Could it possibly be a clipped td06h? It looks like...

    SIM - Thermal R&D exhaust

    I have a srs catback and it's too quiet to me and im installing hks 272's soon. I want to switch to the thermal R&D since it has a deeper tone. The srs has two resonators I'm about to remove them and see what the difference is.

    Lowering my car

    If you put megan springs on stock or gr2's the struts will blow out. It's too much of a drop.

    Spark Plug Wires

    Accel Thundersport are (150 ohms/ft) so they are supposedly better than the ngk which i still have as spare wires. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/frequently-answered-dsm-questions/147493-answer-spark-plug-wires-ignition-wires.html

    Lowering my car

    Get a set of good struts that can work with lowering springs without blowing out and some lowering springs with the drop height you want.

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Is the car really overheating or is the gauge just reading wrong. My car did this and it was just my sensor. My car was never really overheating.

    Smoking turbo manifold after install

    The stock 2g manifold is a lot better if your running a mhi turbo.

    Smoking turbo manifold after install

    If you wrapped it in exhaust wrap but you didn't so that doesn't matter. Just let it run its new so it will smoke a little. Make sure all the bolts are tight enough and it's not leaking at any of the gaskets.

    compression test help

    You can remove all plugs when you do it. You leave the throttle closed just crank the engine and get your reading.

    Would this look good or just be plain stupid.

    Smoking turbo manifold after install

    If the manifold coated in anything or if you used anything on the gaskets it may smoke the first couple of times but not alot. Also if it was wrapped because my wrap smoked the first time i started my car but not alot.

    When i had my 95 n/t eclipse i put a ebay header and downpipe on for about 60 shipped and it comes with new gaskets and fit perfect. You don't really need anything expensive the ebay stuff works fine for the n/t. I ran my car with it for 8yrs and sold the car with it and it was still good...

    punishment racing o2.

    Yes ive seen cars with both slim fans and a 38mm gate off the o2 housing but it all depends on the turbo, manifold, and not all 38mm gates are the same size. But stock a/c fan will not fit only a slim has a chance.

    o2 sensor location for spyder gs 98

    Usually there is one on the downpipe and if you have more than one the other one or two would be near the cat. Some have one before and after the cat some have just one near the cat. My 95 420a eclipse had two total one on the downpipe and one near the cat.

    Will removing my Catalytic Converter mess up performance?

    If you really want to go cat less put on a high flow metallic cat and put a electric cutout on the downpipe before the cat if you ever want to open it you can with the push of a button . This is what i'm doing and it works well. I had this on my 2g n/t a few years back. Now on my 1ga talon tsi.

    ECU questions

    The motoguys ecu most likely isn't a eprom so you would need to send it to ecm tuning to have it converted in order to get dsm link v3 to tune with. But if you want you can get a safc and a datalogger instead. Also a wideband if you dont have one already.
  45. guapking

    Will removing my Catalytic Converter mess up performance?

    Get a high flow metallic catalytic converter which flows just as much as not have a cat according to the test at importtuner.com. I run a magnaflow spun metallic cat and still pass emissions plus gain the extra flow.
