  3. Blown Turbo, Questions!

    My 14b has been sitting in a box for over a year now... What kind of prep work needs to be done when putting it back in? Do I have to put oil anywhere in it, or is just cranking the motor a few times before starting it up enough?
  4. Blown Turbo, Questions!

    Anyone know how a blown turbo and a rod bearing problem could coincide? Could one cause the other, and such? Help me out here guys!Also, if a rod bearing was the problem, would a novice such as myself be able to fix that alone over time? Expensive to fix? And what do I need to check on that...

  6. Blown Turbo, Questions!

    I havent posted on here in quite a while, but now I have a couple questions for your experienced DSMers'. I got a rebuilt longblock put in about 8 months ago, and everything was running good. It has probably 3k miles or so on it now, I was unemployed for a while. >_< Broke it in perfectly...
  7. Need a new ECU, options?

    So my dsm is being very problematic atm... (when is it not!) Among idle problems which are very erratic, it seems I need a new ECU. When I bought the car, the guy who I bought it from said its a TMO stage 2 chip, something like that, and TMO is out of business now. I suspect the capacitors are...
  8. Richening Low Trim with MAFT?

    Just a quick question for the guys out there using a GM MAFT to tune. I recently got a pocket logger and have started trying to tune my setup. Ive done what I think according to the directions is richening the low fuel trim since its currently pegged at 139%, ive clicked the base dial to the...
  9. Popping / Backfires?

    Looks like I need to do some good logging here, I was hopping this popping deal didnt have so many possible variables! :P So far the low trim is 139, mid and hi are both 103. But since it is still being broken in ive been driving her easy, havent even gone past 3.5k rpm. The only fault code is...
  10. Popping / Backfires?

    You know the o2 sensor is very possible... According to my logger when i watch the car idle (which can go from 600-1200 at any given moment) the o2 trim varies wildly. It can go down to 60% when its idling low, and when the car is idling around 1000rpm the o2 trim is usually around 100%. Very...
  11. Popping / Backfires?

    Again there is NO catalytic converter. And the plugs / wires are pretty new, engine was just rebuilt :)
  12. Popping / Backfires?

    Oh yea good catch, I actually do not have a cat. So is that bad then? ><
  13. Popping / Backfires?

    Also forgot to mention a funny thing with the idle... When I push the clutch in, the idle actually drops around 200 rpm, and it goes back up when the clutch is let out. It never used to do this, even after I got my new clutch and lightened flywheel. Its only done this ever since I got the new...
  14. Popping / Backfires?

    Hey guys small question here... I just got a rebuilt 6 bolt slapped into my car, and shes running pretty well. Idle could be better, but that will be fixed in time. My one concern now is what I fear to be detonation / knock. Under acceleration the car feels fine, I havent opened her all the way...
  15. Just got my pocketlogger, little help?

    Thanks for all the hints! One other little thing I was curious about... Under diagnotic, there is a screen where you can "test" things such as egr, bost solenoid, canister purge, and more. When I press the button is just flash that its testing but it gives no feedback. Is the logger supposed to...
  16. Wire missing behind throttle body?

    There we go, it is the idle indicator switch. It used to have that rubber boot on it years ago, lately it was just the wire with metal tip, now its gone >< How important is that thing? I dont think I have a vacuum leak but Ill check em all again. Id like to fix that wire myself, would a novice...
  17. Wire missing behind throttle body?

    Hey guys little info needed here... I just had my new longblock put in, and when I got it back i realized the wire which normally hooks up right behind the throttle body is missing, I think it has something to do witht he idle, maybe TPS? Its the one that is right next to the throttle cable, its...
  18. Just got my pocketlogger, little help?

    While I did a great clean job of installing the logger permanently in the slot under my cd player, im still slowly learning how to use it. I plan on reading over digitaltunings site more soon, but do you guys have any other hints for me, like which parameters are best to log and in what order? I...
  19. My DSM is alive again, woot!

    Also as a small bump since im not 100% sure... Is it a 1000 mile break in period, or should i baby longer / shorter? Also what kind of oil should I use at 500 miles? Thanks guys ^^
  20. My DSM is alive again, woot!

    So after a timing belt failure around 3 months ago I finally got around to getting my 91 awd running again. I was originally planning to drop a new motor in with my friend but it quickly became apparent that we couldnt (no garage to use and used engines were to expensive) But someone here linked...
  21. Yeah... another "Look what I got" thread

    Grats, thats a sweet 1g for $500, especially if it runs even badly!
  22. I need a cheap motor, help me!!!

    Wow, that KarKing deal looks pretty nice. $1150 for a rebuilt engine? I wonder if that includes pretty much everything I need... Anyone have any experience with that KarKing service? That beats the hell out of any used motor ive found so far, im thinking of ordering one of those if it would work.
  23. I need a cheap motor, help me!!!

    http://www.geocities.com/skatepunk83/gsx.htmlThose are pics of a sparkplug I pulled out of my dsm a couple months ago. After checking it out the engine is completly worthless now, its a very heavy paper weight. I have replaced everything on that car, and now the engine blew and im stuck...
  24. My DSM is dead............. :(

    Thats a tougher situation for me. See I traded my old Integra for this dsm, that was like 2 years ago. And the motor ran strong the whole time, only had some oil leaks here and there. So when the timing belt slipped that did it. The engine was built by an asian dude from the bay area, forget his...
  25. My DSM is dead............. :(

    Im so god damn depressed right now. Im cruising on the freeway in 5th gear last night, when out of nowhere I get this weird hesitation feeling for a few sec, hear some weird noise from the engine bay followed by a big ass backfire, and the car is dead. Keep in mind this was a fully built race...
  26. World of Warcraft anyone?

    I also failed to get the patch to download, kept saying something about some other thing not connecting, lying about firewalls... lol.Im currently a 56 Human Mage on Dethecus. Also a 42 Human Rogue for when my gf is online, shes a 42 Human Paladin.
  27. Need a new tranny, options?

    Ah you found my old thread.... I made a new one in drivetrain. Anyways I actually talked to Shep on the phone, my tranny is dead, when you run a tranny without fluid for a long time its pretty much gone. So Shep and RRE both recommended a factory unit, and I didnt want to spend the time and...
  28. Need a new tranny, help please!

    I thought about that but its too much of a hassle... I dont have another car to use to go search for a junker since my parents both work. So RRE is just putting in a brand new one for me and im eating the cost. But now I just need some logging software and it will be time to hit the track! :)
  29. Need a new tranny, help please!

    I did, I actually talked to John himself on the phone! :P But his brand new trannys start at $2200 and its pretty much the same as the factory one that RRE is getting for me. So Im just having rre order me one and put it in... I would definetly go with Sheps tranny if I had more money, but...
  30. Need a new tranny, help please!

    Hey guys, my tranny is trashed (long story) so now I need something new. My car is sitting at RRE right now and I only have a couple options as of now. Buy a junkyard tranny and have it rebuilt, or buy a new factory tranny for $2100. The new factory trannys fix many of their origional problems...
  31. Need a new tranny, options?

    Hey guys, I broke my shift fork which put a hole in the bellhousing, = dead tranny. So I need a new one and im looking to save some cash without getting a junkyard special. Tony from RRE says my only option is to get a $2100 factory transmission... Do you guys know of any other options I might...
  32. Ramchargers Scanmaster?

    Weird that the link doesnt work... Well heres one from vendor announcements.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163762I dont think its only obd2 as it states that it works on 1st and 2nd gen dsms.

  34. 3" blow through setup, idle problems

    Just my 2 cents about the MAFT issue... It doesnt matter how the maft is roated really, but you must make sure the arrow is pointing the way the air is flowing. Having the MAFT in backwards will be an issue, so make sure the arrow is pointing toward your throttle body. From every GM MAFT thing...
  35. 3" blow through setup, idle problems

    Tough problem... I went with the 3in blow thru setup, I also have an Xact flywheel. I dont have the idle problem you do, just another one ive had forever hehe. The only thing I could think of is check the plug from the MAFT that plugs into the cars harness... As the instructions say it is very...
  36. We Turbo'd my friends 91 Civic Hatch

    I hope your buddy built the engine well, and im not talking gsr rods. My friend has a sweet all motor hatch, runs mid 12s easy. He rebuilt the engine but only used gsr rods. Launched hard on slicks and poof... Either spun a bearing, snapped a rod, something like that. The only thing that may...
  37. DeLorean, what do you think for a project car?

    I wouldnt buy it unless I was rich, or had a family member / friend who owned a garage and could do some major custom fabrications for a low price. To make one of those even quick it would take alot of custom work, and fixing that interior would be a PITA.Tell the guy you can only give him...
  38. Doing final mods at RRE, opinions please!

    Yea, I took my car there over last summer, blew $3000 then on everything I have so far. They are good, I was suprised that they new nothing about the GM MAFT. Its a superior MAF in everyway, whether you use it to tune or not. I will just set the MAFT to somewhere close to what im looking for...
  39. Doing final mods at RRE, opinions please!

    Yep, plenty of guys with 16g no nitrous running low-mid 12's... And im sure theres plenty more that arent reigstered here with a timeslip up. So come on guys, I need some input, especially to my questions about stutterbox options etc... :)
  40. Doing final mods at RRE, opinions please!

    Yes, but Id rather not... This is still going to be my semi-daily driver, so I would rather keep her off the bottle... Most people with a well tuned 16g can hit 12's without nitrous cant they?
  41. Doing final mods at RRE, opinions please!

    Forgot a few things... I have an ACT 2600 clutch and Xact lightened flywheel, im going to get HKS 264/272 Cams. And yes, Im most likely going to have RRE install an AFC and tune it, then have a laptop they use and Im quite sure they are able to tune things well.
  42. Doing final mods at RRE, opinions please!

    Ok guys, Im almost done with my dsm, shes running a big 16g turbo and Im shooting for 12's, preferable mid to low 12's. I just ran into a couple G's to waste so Im heading out to RRE to have them finish me off! Heres a list of my current mods...Fully built engine, ported unclipped 16g...
  43. Oil filter solution for 3" downpipes...

    Good call... Bah I was right there today picking up my new oil dipstick (Hopefully it wont pop out like the old one!) and I forgot to stock up on those filters... Will get some more soon though, dont wanna be left without one in a time of crisis! :P
  44. Oil filter solution for 3" downpipes...

    This is a follow up to my last post on the subject. I had a hard time finding a solution to my cramped oil filter area due to a 3inch o2 eliminator downpipe. Someone mentioned checking out the mitsubishi dealer, and that did the trick perfectly. Their fat / stubby filter works wonderfully, fits...
  45. Oil filter solution for 3" downpipes...

    Thanks for the input guys... I had an extra fram in the garage but Im going to go to mitsu tomorrow and try out their filters, hoping one will fit. Will let you guys know what happens... Also Endz0r, did you have a problem with your RNR exhaust angling upward too much? Mine is correctly bolted...
  46. Oil filter solution for 3" downpipes...

    Also... I looked at the face foward kit on http://www.ffwdconnection.com/dsm2.htm but Id rather keep it simple if possible. Gonna go buy the evo filter just incase right now, Ill let you guys know if it fits. Otherwise Im just looking for a cheap easy fix, Im getting tired of driving my moms...
  47. Oil filter solution for 3" downpipes...

    I made a thread on this a few weeks ago, thought id try one more time. After installing my 3inch o2 eliminator downpipe the stock size oil filter will not fit, I had to practically cut mine in half to get it out, looks like a crushed coke can now. Someone had mentioned trying out an evo oil...
  48. Oil filter relocation kit?

    Do they make em much smaller? Because seriously... When the filter was on tight I couldnt fit anything between the filter and downpipe, it would have to be at least 1-2 inches smaller than stock.
  49. Oil filter relocation kit?

    Do you guys recommend the use of oil filter relocaters? I ask this because I got my 3inch 02 eliminator RNR exhaust put in, and now when i tried to change the oil the filter had zero room to come off.... Its was ugly, had to use a hammer, claw end, to turn it enough to get loose, then physically...
