Hey guys, I've developed a new problem and have been searching my butt off to no avail.Long story short:Had to do a timing job due to worn belt. Note, car ran amazingly before. Did the timing job, had a friend rotate the motor for me when I wasn't watching. Said everything checked out. So we...
Hoping somebody can help with this, because I need the car running tomorrow..Anyway. long story short, I pulled the engine harness out to do a very minor wire tuck which consisted of ONLY extending injector, tps, and cas wires.Now I have everything plugged back in where it should be (at...
Long story short, car blew up and got a new motor put in. I could never get it running right and I realized it's sat for nearly 11 months with the same tank of E85. I just drained it today, my question is:Should I run E85 right away or should I just go with 91 for right now to help clean out...
Okay, this noise only happens at 5500rpm and higher. It has me worried that something is wrong. It is night and day, doesn't just fade in or out it's either there or not there. My cyclone activates around then I believe, not sure though because my laptop bricked. Car pulls hard around then too...
Alright, to make things short and simple:Buddy of mine has a 95 FWD TSi.
It's rusted out beyond repair and the front suspension is affected by it, is pretty much not driveable.
He found an rust-free AWD 95 TSi shell with no motor, trans or tcase for VERY cheap(pretty much free). Comes...

My Cyclone intake manifold didn't come with the vacuum actuator when I got it, instead it came with a Supra wastegate which is supposed to open at 14psi. I can get 14psi by 3k rpms easily and I think that is too early for it to open.1. Does anybody know where I can actually get the real...
Alright, I've been having trouble with hot starts and cold starts. Both take a few tries and on hot starts I have to give it gas to keep it alive. Mods are up to date, I haven't thrown a solid tune on DSMLink v2 yet but just good enough to get it running safely.Anyway.
2G stock 7 bolt block -...
I ordered these from STM a while back. I figured with how great the headstuds are that these would be great. Finally got to put them in, used nickle anti-seize and had them on for 3000 miles before I had to pull my head for valve seals.Here is my review:Please do your research before...
I've been having very strange problems with my turn signals and especially lately. To make it short:-Hazards work just fine. Perfect speed, etc.-Front turn signals sometimes don't work with the parking/headlights on. If this is the case, it won't even flash, it'll just be a solid light...
After reading and researching this blow off valve for nearly weeks prior to purchase, I was very skeptical yet excited to do a review for the valve. I hope this will answer all the questions that any have about the TurboXS RFL.If you are familiar with the RFL, you know it is a piston-type...
First and absolute foremost, I have DSMLink v2.5. This means NO DA TABLES.I've spent the last two hours researching and I just can't get my head wrapped around all of the info. I keep reading all sorts of different things (i.e: tune to 11:1 at WOT, tune to no richer than 12:1 at WOT, add...
I just picked up a set of clear tails and I also bought six of the "chrome" red bulbs. I figured the chrome would help fight the problem where the red eventually becomes pink. Well these things are pink right out of the box.
:rolleyes:My question is where did you get your bulbs? I have...
Alright, I'm no ECMLink pro. In fact I only just started tuning with it a few weeks ago. I followed these guides:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-tuning-ecu/262460-basic-dsmlink-tuning-guide.html

Well it was my first time entering a car show, ever, and I entered my DSM.Not the biggest car show. 75 cars.I wound up winning Best in Class - Modern Modified Car
:cool:It my first ever trophy for anything at all, so I was PUMPED. Just wanted to share.Couple other pics:
I don't think this has been posted yet, but I really think everybody should be aware of this.I know, it's 30 minutes long, but it's worth it and it's for a good cause.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc
I was searching through eBay to see what an HKS brand gauge looked like, so I typed in HKS gauge and I found this.. thing?HKS Air Intake Turbo Charger Compressor Fuel Gas Saver Gauge Performance Chrome | eBayCan somebody tell me what that is? I was thinking boost controller at first but...
Alright I can't quite explain this enough to search for it.Basically I am getting two codes on my DSM.
1. Knock sensor circuit malfunction
2. TPS malfunctionSo what is weird is that my SAFC will read Throttle % perfectly but I still get this code. I have tried adjusting it numerous...
Well I saw this at the parts store:VHT Nite-Shades RedAnd was wondering if anybody with a red DSM has used this stuff on their taillights? Does it come out smooth and glossy or is it more translucent than the black?I just wanted to know if it would make my tails on my red 2G appear...
Alright, well I got my vehicle running. I put in the 650's and decided to do a WOT pull.Here's a log. Everything is up to date in my profile I believe.At one point the vehicle speed drops a whole 30mph in less than a second! Any idea what is going on here?Yes, I realize my TPS didn't...
Just as the title says.Long story short I finally got my car running, and the timing belt tensioner pulley failed somehow and my belt came loose.. I noticed this but the car was still running and not dying when I pulled it into my garage. I redid the timing and it was hard to turn over by...
Made a new thread because I did a little more work and research and made new discoveries.LONG story short: Car won't run after head swap. Starts but won't run.I believe it is the injectors not firing. I am getting spark (yes I checked, so don't waste my time by asking) and timing is...
My car won't stay running. I've checked pretty much everything, no boost leaks, just switch to a known working 1G CAS, new power transistor, spark plug wires, spark plugs.I tested the coil pack and it is within spec. Can anybody tell me why my car wants to die? Should I capture other...
Alright I am making a new thread because my previous one was done on my phone and not detailed enough at all.Here is the deal, just finished up my 1G head swap. Reason for swapping was because my old 2G head had too many broken exhaust manifold studs in it.Alright well I did everything by...
Alright well I just finished my 1g head swap, before this everything was working perfectly fine and it started everytime no problem. Now while doing the swap I also installed an aeromotive 13301, maft and also used ask my old sensors such as my coolant temp etc..Well the battery died while I...
Anybody else have any real experience getting one of these out with the motor in the car? I searched but from the sounds of it the motor was out.All I gotta say is FAIL, and pay attention to what you are doing. And never answer your phone while tightening one of these down! :ohdamn:
Alright, so I have a situation I am in and I need some input from you guys since you know what reliability is (and isn't!).I deliver pizzas for a living for now while I am in the auto tech program up here, and I am actually losing money with the gas mileage I have been getting. I used my...
Okay, I am soon buying a black 95 TSI AWD. The mods on it are:
Complete 6 bolt swap
Mitsu 20G turbo
Front mount (unsure of brand)
GReddy Type RS bov (legit!)
Injen Intake (also legit)
"Shep tranny" (the owner before me could not specify what it exactly is..)
HKS full exhaust
Boost, A/F...
Alright so I am in the process of swapping a 1G head onto my 97. Reason I am doing this is because so many exhaust studs were broken in the old head I just gave up. So I bought a new head for it, but after looking closer found out it was for a 1G.
So I have the intake manifold and TB, IM...
Okay, I have a 1997 GSX. Just recently I let a bunch of guys at the auto tech program here at my school replace my turbo (T25 with E316G), exhaust manifold (stock with pacesetters), and put a front mount on and that is about it.I had everything to do it with, and a couple of them have their...
1991 Eagle Talon TSISeems like quite a steal.. I have a friend selling his 1G EPROM w/ DSMLink v2.5 and figured it could have potential for less than another 1000 put into it.I test drove it and it seems to run strange. Just a little idle surge and since it was only 500 on the rebuilt...
Okay I just got all of my goodies in the mail of stuff I am going to throw into my Eclipse. The problem is I only have about 7 total hours to work on it per week (in a warm shop) and anything left over is going to be done in the cold.. I would rather have in done in 1 weekMy question is...
Hey guys,Sorry I did some searching but didn't get any clear answers.. I'm pretty clueless on fuel systems. I understand that an afpr is used to control the amount of fuel the pump puts out.. however I am not sure if I need one or not.Here is my soon to be setup:
