no experience with spec on my dsm but. i ran a spec stage 3 6-puck sprung with a lightweight flywheel behind my rb20det its dynoed at 355rwhp. after about 120 miles the throw out bearing began to squeal when its cold as soon as you put presure on the clutch pedal it would go away. about a year...
Hey guys i was on my way to idaho when i got to the top of look-out pass when my pinion and ring gear from my transfer case got in a fight and they both lost the battle. as you can see from the pics. when i removed the t-case from the car i saw that the input shaft seal was pretty much gone! So...
Well my plans are to flip the car I already have a 2g Dsm turbo and a 89 240sx hatch haha the 240 doesn't run but it is bone stock.
The 240 is in ruff shape I did go and look at it the body is bad but interior is good and the engine is good. And if the kid that I'm buying the car from is on here...
hello i am considering trading my 90 eagle talon tsi awd. it has just under 103k runs very good. besides the 20g turbo and royal purple through out the car it is stock. i only paid 250 for the car during the summer and put about 600ish into it.VS.89 240sx click link below

Hey guys I just fell into this thread and I'm not leavin haha Jake you seem like one hell of a fab tech I'm gonna start the same idea with my car it looks amazing keep us posted.:thumb:
I am a follower now! haha
this is the exact same idea that I've got but your at the extreme end of the stick.
I'm gonna watch this thread from now on. very good job on the engine bay too. I'm hoping mine will look this good too.
i had a rod knock that would only occur after the engine oil would warm up i dropped the pan and it wiped the #1 rod bearing. i put new bearings in lasted about 3000 miles and theres shavings in the oil and i think its happening again so lets hope it doesnt happen to you. oh when you replace...
Ditch the factory oil cooler if the engine had bearing failure. you cant get all of the particles out i ran mine in a solvent tank for a half hour and i still had a gold shimmer comin out. i lost three cranks and two sets of rods because of contaminated oil from the oil cooler. CLEAN EVERYTHING...
had the same problem i was driving just fine and then out of no where she died. i did all the same things as you have so far went through the fuel system it checked out ok. then took out the ecm and one of the quad drivers where burned for the fuel injection system so i got a eprom for it. still...
i guess youll find out after you put the new head on. you said that you got it from dsm graveyard too good work. :hellyeah:
jon is a great guy.well the whole team is!:thumb:
that kid needs to take his meds how hard is it to understand what was written haha
dude thats sweet that your gonna makin some pretty respectable hp and more importantly torque from that little guy keep up the good work. Who are you gonna have make the header, would it be close to the 420a's...
my power steering pump is takin a dump and it sounds like a rod knock.
maybe belts slappin
do you still have the balance shafts in that would be makin the sound.Does the sound change under boost or when back peddling?
water pump?get a automotive stethoscope and start probin...
If a was a bettin man its in the coolant temp sensor circut thats probably what the code is (coolant temp circut malfunction). i had the same problem as you when the engine is cold its takes quiet bit of crankin for her to wake up but after its warm then its runs fine. make sure the connection...
yeah thats bull man real weak i dont see how some one can sleep like that anyway ive got a real injen intake and im sorry to say but thats a ebay special man. ill send you a pic of mine so you can see but mine is the non recirc. though
Text Book answer.
When your bov is doing its job its recirculating the high pressure air back to the low pressure side of the intake so it doesnt run extremely lean and damage your engine or turbo (compressor surge) when getting off the throttle after a hard pull. when its vented to the...
like the kid says its a lean mean bishi machine haha.well i would tear into it hard and look at every little detail all the fluids what kind of gas he ran what oil did he run when did he change it has he flushed the brake system or cooling system look at the bottom of the car i got burned on...
sounds like the coolant temp sensor to me thats what my car did for the longest time. after you get it warmed up it would start just fine but until then you where testing the durability of your starting system ALOT!
I agree with My98GSX my fresh built engine is seeing around 80psi when driving and when your pulling hard its over 100 psi. my guage is tapped at the bottom of the engine, so would be less at the top of the engine. not sure how much though
Im in helena and theres a couple people in town that can do that.if your enterested it doesnt take very long to get here either. what where you planning on doing to the car?
with no load you can rev it all day long so i dont think that its the plugs or wires off boost power isnt effected if you unhook the waste gate so its open you can drive it just fine the turbo wont stool untill about 5 grand though.
97 gst 14b turbo other than that its stock its hits about 10 psi then just starts to studder HARD is that boost leak or???? oh im thinkin its the blow off valve cause ill let off the gas and you can hear the intake pipes strain with air then the valve opens but why would it do that then the...
sounds like its working normal narrowband is dam near worthless you cant tune with them there to touchy at idle its lean then wot its rich boost comes on and goes back to lean thats what mine did and i tried it in several different spots too with the same results just delayed the farther down...
you want to talk about bad insurance for my car in montana its just over 2000 dollars ever six months for liabilty! and yes i have a perfect driving record too thats in montana so it varys from state to state. unless you have a full time job i wouldnt take on a project car just my $.02 though
i have my guages above the stereo but there going into my vision. ive been driving down the road to look down to the oil pressure guage at 0! from blowing my oil cooler lines. so im getting the triple pillar pod. above the stereo is nice but i dont want to lose the engine due to not seeing the...
Im in the same boat as all of you guys when its cold out its will crank over easy but no luck on starting. the code that i keep getting is coolant temp circut malfunction and egr circut malfunction i tested resistance on the temp sensor and it was good but i kinda wanted to check other things...
yeah its true that one point or another you just want to drive it off the bridge and walk home but when that honda or suby roles past at 80 on the interstate not to get 3 car lenths away before you pass him at a buck-ten and let him stare at your ass some more then you pat the dash and say you...
ok lets clear things up I work at Oreillys we garantee the lowest price if you found something cheaper they will match it period if they say no then you could probably getthem fired thats how hell bent they are there. before Oreillys i worked at napa there alittle different they have alittle...
i could believe its a real evo until he spins just the front tires when he launches from first. guess you cant really say launch when you leave with only one tire spinning its heart out and its dragin the rest of the car around.
well theres only acouple things it could be. lifter tick, injector knock, the belts loose or broken v's in the belt, or heaven forbid a rod knock. if its a rod knock you would have low oil pressure it would knock really hard on a cold startup then get quiet after about 1 or 2 seconds and your...
