So I know there is already a post on this, but the title is a bit misleading and I wanted to make it known that this time sensitive group buy is happening through Neat gearboxes, an Australian based company.The group buy is for 1-4 gearsets as well as a 3-4 gearset.Myself and many others...

This is the Build Thread for Marooned Laser. Reply below.

Ok so I read this thread because I'm in need of a driver side lsd rear axle for my 2g and can't find one. I really just need the cup for the hub side.https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/new-2g-rear-lsd-cv-axle-option.514461/And im slightly confused here. I get the concept of putting the 1g...

So as some of you probably have already heard, the 2020 shootout is now going to allow Hondas, Audis, and Subarus for the Quick 32 class. Which in my opinion is a slap in the face to the community in my opinion. Regardless of attendance there should NEVER be any other brands of cars allowed in...

So I have either found some brand new Evo III parts that someone has or I'm being scammed. I paid for the PayPal fee so its worth a shot I guess right?I originally just needed and Evo III input shaft but then discovered the guy has Evo III 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears, double synchros shift forks...

As some may not yet know, the Red demon driven by Devin Schultz has taken a hit on track down in Florida. After setting a record mph of 215.62 the car was wrecked in what appears to be a retiring crash for the car. Devin is "100% okay" but the car seems to not be. Kristin posted that the car...

So I'm having trouble identifying the part number on an mhi turbo I have on a parts car. The number appears to be 49178-05210. Is it maybe an 18g? Thanks for any info.

Ok so long story short, I was having clutch drag issues after I replaced my clutch disk and flywheel faceplate as well as had my transmission freshened up and front differential replaced by Shep Trans due to a broken tooth.The issue was the clutch would engage right off the floor but only...

Trying to figure this issue out asap before the shootout. Ill make this as short as possible.A few weeks ago my front diff chipped a tooth. I took it and got it rebuilt and then installed a new flywheel faceplate, clutch disk, TOB, and reused my low mile pressure plate that tested good with...

Long story short I am currently on Sumitomo HTRZ III which are the older / better models. I have been fighting AWD wheel hop and just recently upgraded my motor mounts and am now looking for a stickier tire. The wheel hop was bad enough that I just snapped a tooth off a 4 Spyder gear. I will...

Ok so this is a new one for me. After a launch and pull I drove my car home and parked it in the garage. Car ran fine and shifted fine when I shut it off. No weird noises. So I come out the next morning to a long line of gear oil leading up to my garage. Always a good sign.So I get under the...

So I recently switched to a .70ar housing from the .55ar on my 8 blade 58mm HX-40 and I was wondering what spool times some others are seeing. I have a log attached for review but it seems like I am not getting to full boost (34psi) until 5500rpm or so. I was just wondering if this is normal or...

So I was painting my side mirrors and I removed them by prying on the bottom with a screwdriver and hitting the little retention tab on the clip. However I can not for the life of me figure out how to re install them. I assume you have to somehow put the snap ring back on while the mirror is...

So I currently am in a bind where I'm in need of a catch can. 2 -10an inlet and 1 -10an outlet in a sealed can. I know Calan used to make good ones but I cant get ahold of him so I'm assuming he is not making them anymore unless someone knows a way to contact him. Email is not working and it...

I will be posting the few that I have. I did not get many this year as I was very busy. But I figured I would give everyone somewhere to post theirs so we can all enjoy them.

So basically I want to get my car to handle a bit better on tack and on the street. One of my big concerns is that I live in Ohio where the potholes are plentiful and roads are crap. The car is not a daily and is garaged for Winter. But is street driven more than track. A lot of my bushings are...

I read some thread stating that theoretically they should interchange, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm first hand. It seems as though the 1990 rear calipers are easy to come by, where as the 1991-1993 are almost impossible to find. Thanks.

Just got finished up with a full rebuild on the 1g and it runs absolutely great, but it will not go into closed loop. Just wanted to see if someone could take a look at the log and try to point me in the right direction. I know the tune looks like crap, but its just there to get the car to run...

Over the last month or so, I have been tackling my first 4g63 build in over 5 years. I was a bit nervous to be back in there grinding away at piston rings, installing bearings, all that good stuff. But everyone on here was a huge help in getting me in the right direction, no matter how stupid...

I am going to throw these injectors in my 1G that I had lying around. I was told when I got them that they were PTE 880cc injectors. When I ordered the PTE seals for them and they did not fit, it made me question what injectors they were.So I called PTE and FIC to see if it matched any of...

Just wanted to make sure that the timing tensioner is supposed to sit where it is currently at. There seems to be a groove that looks like it would be for the tensioner plunger, but its not really close to sitting it it. The engine timing marks all seem to line up and the tension is good. The...

So.... I just got my girlfriends engine timed up and after I turned the engine 6 times I hear this weird ticking noise. So I track it down and it is this one lifter making the noise intermittently. If I let the engine sit for a few minutes it stops. If I poke it every few seconds, it clicks. You...

Hey guys I'm out in the garage is installing my main bearings for my 6 bolt and was wondering if there is any specific order for the 2 center thrust bearings (top bottom).Also just to make sure I'm not screwing anything up (it's been a while) the mains with the oil grooves get installed in the...

It does not appear that there is much information here on the AEM X-series wideband and I was wondering if anyone was using them and how they work with ECMlink. Also wondering if there were any other general issues with them.I was going to get an innovate MTX-L, but I have been hearing a lot...

Sorry for all of the threads lately, I'm just trying to cover all my bases. Anyway...I cant remember from my last build, are you supposed to bottom out the main studs when installing them? I thought on my build we backed them out 1/4 turn before torquing them down... but I could be wrong...

So after doing some research, this is the first time I have ever heard that you should not use helical gears and a stubby shaft. When I rebuilt my 97, I used an Autozone oil pump, slapped on the stub shaft, and went about my way. Still no issues with that after 35k miles of around 400 - 450hp...

So a while back I had my brand new holset HX40 take a crap on me (it was just dumping oil in my exhaust) and sent it out to @JusMX141 to be rebuilt. It was unclear of the cause of failure but he said it was possibly high EGT's. (I used to tune it at 12.5 AFR on E85, but eventually Kenny tuned it...

So I know that the 2g wrist pins are 22mm and the 1g wrist pins are 21mm. I am doing forged internals on my girlfriends 6 bolt (eagle rods / Manley 8.5:1 pistons) and wanted to know if there was some benefit to running the larger wrist pin pistons. As in is it any stronger / worth upgrading to...

This is a thread in search of all the experienced builders tips, tricks, advice, as well as answers to some questions that I have for my 6 bolt build. I will be using Manley 8.5/1 pistons and Eagle H beam rods. My apologies if it is long, but it has been about 5 years since my last build. 6...

So this is not a thread on "should I reuse these pistons" because they are still installed in the block and i'm only doing head work to this thing right now. So the head is going back on and it will get driven till she goes. What I do want to know is what should i do to minimize the increased...

At the time of purchasing 0ga wire for my battery relocation, I did not know the difference between CCA wire and OFC wire. It turns out that the wire that I bought is CCA. From the pictures in the comments and reviews it appears to be a good quality CCA wire. I just wanted to see if anyone else...

Well the title says most of it. About every 3 months my car needs a new Omni 4 bar mitsu-style MAP sensor. Last time I tested the wiring with a multimeter and it seemed all good. Even wiggled around the harness. No change. As soon as I put a new MAP sensor on it worked great.... For 3 more...

Im looking for someone that is experienced with body shop work that would be willing to do some side work. Im looking at getting some dents and dings repaired as well as a few body panels painted. In the future I would like to get the whole car done. If there is anyone around the cleveland /...

I know that there is an air dam on the turbo models that is not on the NT ones, but I was wondering if anyone knew if a NT fender would work with minimal modification or is it not possible?Im looking for a new fender for a 2gb GSX so if anyone knows where to find one for a decent price that...

I am currently running a -8AN for my fuel feed line and want to use the factory feed as the return as I have heard many people do to enlarge it. The question I have is how are people connecting it to the fuel pump hanger?I believe the hose that slips over the factory return at the hanger is a...

Long story as short as possible, my battery was dead everytime I shut the car off and it needed jumped. After I jumped it, it ran fine off the alternator. Ok... Dead battery. Replaced the battery, drove it a while, and got on into boost for the first time since my new transmission and the car...

Long story short, I destroyed 4th gear. I have not opened the transmission, (although it is out already) but a loud bang while in 4th gear followed by not having 4th tells me a lot. All other gears worked fine. The car is currently making about 450hp redlining at 7.5kAnyways the transmission...

As we all know, there is no aero kit for the 2g DSM that is designed for the car and is proven. Not unless you fabricate it yourself and destroy the rear bumper. I have always had an urge to do a rear diffuser, front splitter, undertray, canards, and possibly an APR wing to top it all off...

A few months ago I replaced my clutch with a Southbend ssx full face ceramic. Shortly after the install I noticed a whining noise. The noise only happens in 2nd and 4th gear, but is loudest in 2nd at low-mid RPM's. Once you get into the higher RPM's it gets higher pitched and then fades away to...

Ok so I have been having a lot of issues in the recent past with head gaskets blowing out. Being that this is my 4th head gasket now, I think I may have discovered a possible issue.Before I installed my new l19 head studs, I ran a thread chase through the block. However I think that the chase...

So I have another thread open about how I'm on my 3rd head gasket that failed to seal. However this is a different question about it so I figured id start another thread. The other thread is here:http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/pushing-coolant-again.506106/Needless to say, I have coolant...

Well after 2 head gasket jobs, I'm back to pushing coolant again. The last time I did the head gasket I re-used my ARP head studs, moly lube when torqueing, torqued in sequence, head re-surfaced with RA finish and pressure tested, no copper spray, block was checked for being warped and was...

Just got my HX40 on and did some tuning the other day. After a good launch my 3 year old Fidanza V2 finally is at its limit and is slipping. I'm not sure how much Tq the car is putting down so I'm unsure of what clutch to get. I'm looking at the Stage 4 southbend rated at 525+. In trying to not...

Okay, so as of right now I have 2 options for my HX40 purchase and need to know what is the best route to go.The first is a 6 blade hx40 brand new in box for 600.The second is this turbo lab upgrade for the same price. http://m.ebay.com/itm/67mm-By-95mmI will be running the .55 BEP...

just bought this turbo off of ebay and wanted to get opinions to make sure that it looks like a genuine holset and not a knockoff. The price seemed a little too good and was just curious. Thanks.http://m.ebay.com/itm/Cummins-6CT-New-Genuine-OEM-Holset-HX40W-Turbo-Turbocharger-/232000109337?txnId=0

So I just got my girlfriends 1G running and the 16g turbo on it is definitely blown. The car puts out blue smoke and there was oil inside the housing when I pulled the intake off (there is no catch can or anything recirculating to the intake so its more than likely from the turbo) however the...
