I finally got back to working on my DSM that's been sitting for a few years. I'm trying to get the car running smooth once and for all and this particular hose has me stumped. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
Hey guys, I'm looking to swap out my 450 walbro with another unit. I initially had a shop do it 3 years ago, but it seems to have hit the fan. Either way, I was curious, if it's possible to remove replace the fuel pump, without disconnecting the line from underneath the car? I'm okay with...
I'm in the market for some fuel injectors, but I'm concerned that the fic 1800s blue max "low z," may potentially have issues with drivability, including warm start ups from what I've read regarding smaller fic injectors from older posts. I don't know if they've made their products better over...
Hey guys. Just to make this short, my 98 GSX has been having intermittent shift issues. This all started once I went with the 3g shifter w/ shift box. With the TCU operating, car shifts fine. My current issue is, I no longer have second gear. The gear display will show 2nd gear, but the car...
Is this combination possible? For some reason I only see 1g heater hoses listed on extreme psi and want to purchase from them. Can anyone confirm this? Thank you.
Okay, so I have the tru cool unit mounted on the car, my only concern is the top of the trans has 2 ports and the tru cool has two also, does it matter which way it's connected? If so how do I do this correctly. Thank you.
So, yesterday on my way home from work at night I drove through a very deep puddle at speed. Engine turned over and I was within feet of my house. The engine did stall and the valve cover had a puddle of water. Dried everything up and this morning checked the oil and it had milk color. Changed...
Good morning guys, just a quick question. I've dented my water pipe and now have the infamous leak where the pipe meets the thermostat housing. I've never taken this piece off, but how long would you guys think this job takes to do and does the manifold have to come down as well? Thanks for the...
Is it safe to run a stock fuel pump with 1100cc injectors until I get a 255 pump installed? The car I'm referring to has a hx35 and the pump on that vehicle went out and we replaced it with a stocker until we could get a replacement unit. What kind of issues can you run into? I'm just assuming...
I have know clue to this new issue and with school haven't had much time to look. The problem is that ONLY in reverse, the car makes a terrible squeaking sound. Car is automatic. Initially I thought it was coming from the rear, so I loosened the hand brakes,nothing. It appears to be more from...
I have a question regarding full line pressure and using the gear selector to shift gears. There are two apparently popular shift kits available: the forced four and the roadsurge. I'd like to use the gear selector to upshift, instead of the box. Is this possible to maintain the line pressure...
"20mm long at the pan (MF101229), 16mm long at the turbo (MF241225)." I copied this from another post. I'm looking for the bolt size for the return line to use on a fp black with their blue return line, but the op for this post didn't state the turbo. The bolts off my t25 are to short. Are these...
So I'm installing my new vrsf fmic on 2g gsx auto/with ac and ps and just running into some issues.
What have you guys done with the ps lines? What about the ac? Doesn't seem possible at this point
I just bought a FMIC from a known vendor and it was shipped with the least amount of care possible. FMIC was outside the box on the porch pretty much lol. It's full of scratches,bent fins, just not what I was expecting. None the less, comestics is one thing, but my biggest concerns is just how...
Hey guys need some help here. Brought my car to get an alignment and here are the results. As you can it's pretty bad,particularly the rear. Now the guy I spoke with said something is probably bent and said the rear control arm or the "spindle." I guess he was referring to the axle, but either...
Looking for some input before I order some parts. So I have a 98 GSX and literally about an hour ago I made a turn at a light and I just heard this horrible screech/kind of dragged out squeak sound. Seems like its coming from the middle/passenger side of the vehicle. Power steering belt is on...
Guys, i need some assistance. 2 days ago I changed the passenger side axle and inner/outer tie rod. After getting my alignment, I realize my steering wheel doesnt return to me when I turn. Also, prior to changing the axle and tie rods, when turning I would hear a "ping" sound and after changing...
Hey guys, I have a relatively simple question. I just picked up a bone stock GSX. Check engine light is on and mech told me it was my o2 senser. Changed out the o2, but code was still there. Bought a cheap code reader and received code P0400 for egr, so I replaced it. Light was reset but 40...
Hey guys, I need a little advice. I just picked up a clean gsx for real cheap. The only problem I'm having now is smoking from the exhaust.Symptoms: On start up, exhaust let's out a nice ploom of smoke blue-ish smoke. Letting it idle for a bit, smoke clears up for the most part. Once car...
Out of curiousity, if you have a car setup to run and everything essentially runs correctly give or take it runs slightly rich at given rpm, what parameters would you adjust to make the necessary adjustments? Or is every ecu different terms of adjusting the fuel ratio? Wolfe V400 ecu that I was...
Okay. I installed a new coolant temp switch a while ago, just for maintence. Anyway, my fan usually turns on at 93c now it stays on even at 72c! Sometimes it turns off on time and some times it stays on ridiculously long. Could it be my sensor is bad? I have a fal fan btw. Thanks.
I currently have a eBay t3/t4oe set up on my car. I see a hx35 for a good price but was curious if I would need all new fittings for the drain and feed or would this bolt up to the hx35. Thanks.
My car doesnt feel right after my illuminas install from a local shop. the car Doesn't feel as planted as it should, could be bad bushings I'd suspect. Either way, The left rear sits a little higher than the other side. why? I didn't lift the rear yet but upon inspection of the front, I noticed...
My car 2g 2.3 gst auto, has been making this horrible clunking sound primarily after I lowered it. The weird part is it makes the sound at 1800 thru 2200 rpm. After that it disappears. I could also feel the vibration by my foot. This sound also occurs when the car is in neutral n revved
Complete long block and everything is new besides for a eBay turbo I had for a year. I had a few oil pan bolts that were loose tightened them (besides one that came out somehow) and the car is just burning oil. I have a few drops of oil from my oil return and feed line, but not enough to equate...
Need some help. My auto trans (2g) is stuck in first gear. With my logger I picked up the TPS giving a reading around 5-90percent without my foot on the gas. My battery was dying, so while cranking it I was giving it gas, but to no avail til I got it jumped. Eitherway, do you guys think I need a...
I posted something similar before but never added to the equation the possibility of blow by. As I now have enough money to fix what I believe to be "valve seal" problems, a new symptom appeared 2-3 months ago. My "temp" 100 dollar eBay turbo got me around on my tight budget before I started...
Well, I'm having a bit of an issue. my speedometer has complete failed for a few months now and i can't seem to locate it. Any clue on where it is and how difficult to install? Thanks.
I did a compression test for the first time on my stroker since I bought it used, but with new internals, I saw everything in there from under the oil pan. Today, my results came as 120 across the board. The car was driven for a good bit but probably cooled down to 90 degree celsius over the...
My car was tuned and runs fine on wolf v400 plus ems w/ map sensor (most probably never heard of) but that was on 8lbs. I'm now looking to increase the boost,but I'm not sure what settings are changed to increase fuel with boost/rpm,safely. It has a hand controller which makes use of it very...
Was just wondering is it safe to run straight distilled water? I heard Some people saying it isn't safe,but I think they've failed to realise its not the same as tap... No minerals. Prefer answers from guys that have experience with running distilled. Thanks.
I feel like a majority of the dsms out there are just painted a different color with a set of rims. I think It's cool I don't mind, but I think most guys are not willing to put on a body kit because they prefer not to be called a ricer. What you guys think?
Hey guys. i figured ill just try to get some ideas here. I have a 2.3 and the torque/acceleration is phenonminal on just 8lbs on a 50 trim and thats what im looking for in the car..but looking to upgrade to a hx35.i have to do the seals soon and figured i mine as well get some cams. Not sure...
I have a greddy type rs bov and when i lift off the gas at low rpm, I get surge. Since I had the car, the nut on top of the bov has been missing and I would like to stiffen it. To do so, Do I need to just turn the screw on the top? or do i need to tighten the Allen screws around the bov? I'm...
if your transmission is slipping, will simply changing the clutch pack with a ipt kit along with a increase line pressure do the job? or do you have to overhaul it? when is it actually necessary to overhaul a trans also?no one knows?
few questions.... can I use the manual motor mount inserts in the auto? I know u can't for the trans mount. also, where can i buy a auto trans mount insert? I'm in need badly. thanks guys
I lost those two pieces... I know the tensioner is md133180 I just need the number for the piece the tensioner bolt goes thru ( big silver spacer) and the bolt that goes through the top of the alternator to hold it to the bracket. thanks
this is strange I have a fully functional Alternator (took it to advance, had it tested twice) and the test showed that it passed. well my problem is when It's in the car at idle, I have 14.3 volts and as i start driving the vaults drop down to 11.4 - 11.3, than at idle it stays at 11.4...
could the wrong type of spark plug ( a stock spark plug on a car pushing say 25lbs of boost) before destroying the motor cause the car to overheat? please explain. thanks
I searched no one has this specific problem. To get to the point, I have 1000cc injectors and ever since, I've been having ridiculous cold start issues. Once the car starts It's running good. Today I cranked the motor 2-3 times and it started up then shut off like it does normally on a cold day...
my tuner did blue wire mod by cutting the solenoid pressure line and connected a resistor i believe It's called to the tcu. 3 weeks later my car in drive sometimes goes into 3 or 4th if i manually shift all gears, but always goes into first and second. this problem seems to occur only on the...
My motor mounts are shot to hell after the 2.4 was installed. My question is, first what company makes a/t mounts for 2g dsm/ will a manual mount work? Also, how hard is it to install? Is there a how to so i could locate all of them and see how It's done
