  1. 1G PCV System Question

    Off topic - about the drysump.... The oil pump doesn't have anything to do with crank case ventilation. Blow by is blow by no matter how your oiling system is setup.Edit: it also appears that there's an entire page on the link you posted with information about that dry sump kit.
  2. 1G PCV System Question

    "Lots of people run vented systems for simplicity (or lack of understanding), but pulling a vacuum on the crankcase is ALWAYS a better option. More than anything els,e it helps promote good ring seal.You have a few options really, depends on how 'oem-like' you want it to be. You can try to...
  3. 1G PCV System Question

    I told you Kapok that it's because you had a leaky engine. The non vacuum setup likely wasn't helping your leaky motor hold oil in and when you switched to a vacuum setup it likely was just leaking less.Let me help you (even more) by googling for you...
  4. 1G PCV System Question

    You guys are overlooking the fact that not everyone that's fast comes online to play keyboard cowboy on the forums. I don't know a single person that is aware of every DSM owner and can speak for all of them. The people on this site are not 100% of everyone that cares about these cars. Just...
  5. SOLID front/rear aluminum motor mounts!

    Why heim joints?
  6. 1G PCV System Question

    Well feel free to research what people making horsepower do... I mean, you're on the internet. Muscle cars have been using vacuum pumps for decades. You had problems with your oil leaks because you modified what the mitsu engineers designed. Maybe reading forums lead you to this "answer" that...
  7. 1G PCV System Question

    They're getting away with it because the PCV wasn't your issue. If you have a beat oil leaking motor it's going to leak no matter what you're doing with your PCV. The big boys running race cars are likely using vacuum pumps for the crank case. Too easy.
  8. High compression auto

    Wait, knock more and spool worse on the higher CR setup? The knock makes sense, but I'd expect that the spool would happen faster/be better on higher CR.
  9. Megasquirt knock module

    There's a guy that goes by illeagle on dsmecu.com that I know is running an ms3.
  10. Anyone ever ran a 3g ecu with tephramods?

    What do you mean it's blocked for you?
  11. Anyone ever ran a 3g ecu with tephramods?

    Haha, thanks.... we don't typically bring it up too much unless someone has some sort of weird tuning question.... or unless they just want to be on a forum where typical forum stuff doesn't go on. :)
  12. Are FP turbos bad quality in general?

    I'd be interested in knowing if you were running a filter for the turbo's feed and where you were feeding the turbo from. What do your cam caps look like? If your motor has junk in it then I wouldn't warranty any turbo you strap onto it.... I don't blame them if you weren't running a filter...
  13. Anyone ever ran a 3g ecu with tephramods?

    Lots of information on this at dsmecu.com.
  14. 6 bolt block 7 bolt head build questions

    The oil pressure problems are caused by people not drilling the corner stud hole big enough. 1/2" drill bit is perfect sized to do the holes.
  15. Hi Velocity or Hi Flow head for HX40?

    Understandable. I vote for the 2g head... with an evo 3 manifold or an aftermarket manifold made for it.
  16. 2G E-85-Walbro 450 intake, 255/040 inline

    Have you considered a mechanical pump? They're pretty good on reliability and output. I know this may not be the answer you're asking for but it's a good option to consider.
  17. 1G Rebuilt NT Throttle Body Closes very Slowly

    The spring problem can be solved by marking the spring with a paint marker prior to disassembly.... if the wound up spring doesn't line the paint back up that goes across it's coils then it's not wound properly.Glad you got it figured out.
  18. anti lag

    dsmecu.com probably offers the cheapest antilag you can currently buy, and rotational idle for these cars.I've used both and can say that my turbo was just fine after removing it. No I didn't tear it down to inspect it for damage but I daily drive my car and beat the ever living dog snot out...
  19. Hi Velocity or Hi Flow head for HX40?

    Why bring up what "so and so" did? This is, the same as many other questions, a matter of personal preference. Why not, if you have the know how and the heads sitting around, install and try both.... then YOU decide what you like rather than asking the internet for their opinion. I see a lot...
  20. Has anyone ran an Orbit/ACL oil pump?

    Well **better options actually don't exist. From what I understand ExtremePSI bought up the remaining 6 bolt OEM oil pumps from the dealers years ago. I don't think you can even buy an oem pump from any dealer at this point because no OEM's have them anymore.It makes me wonder if the hyundai...
  21. Compressor Surge??

    I'm glad I was able to help. The reason it sounded like it was still blowing off but struggling with it was because it was enough boost to push the spring open when normally there is vacuum assistance on the diaphragm to lift the valve open. You were fighting against what the vacuum assisted...
  22. Compressor Surge??

    Definitely not compressor surge. The bad comp surge happens while you're in the throttle still, not after you lift.It sounds to me like the vacuum line might not be hooked up to the right port on that CBV. Were any changes made to the car in between when the CBV didn't sound like this and...
  23. Has anyone ran an Orbit/ACL oil pump?

    I would imagine that straight cut gears can be put into this oil pump. I may be wrong but when I ordered my last OEM pump I purposefully selected the straight cut gears. Of course I don't have one of the ACL pumps and set of straight gears sitting around to check this but that's what I would...
  24. HE351ve, how to control the factory actuator

    It was my understanding that the gasoline motor at higher boost levels will push enough exhaust to warrant a wastegate on these turbos. The OEM configuration doesn't need this because the boost being run on the turbo doesn't go up as high as a DSM guy will want it.I guess the next thing after...
  25. HE351ve, how to control the factory actuator

    What would you be referencing to determine which vein position to send? I would think that you'd want to know things like manifold back pressure and shaft speed, along with engine rpm, tps, current boost pressure, etc. There seems to be like a lot of things that need to be known by the OEM...
  26. starting to see some actual damage from e85 to fuel components

    The failures can be gotten away from by using a mechanical pump. :) That's my plan. I know that does nothing for people that have no intention of running one but it is a solution to worn out components inside of an electric pump.
  27. 6bolt block 7bolt head help?

    I'm not sure what your question is. I've built something very close to what you're describing to build but I used a non turbo 1.6L bottom end w/ a 2g head/evo3 IM combo and bigger cams (FP2's). I can say that the power band was huge on this setup. 5psi @ 3000rpms on a small 16g and 20psi by...
  28. New SIM head pics. Use or send back?

    That is VERY unacceptable to send a head full of media like that. If you didn't know better you'd install that on a (hopefully not) built block and then torch the whole setup. If I owned that shop I'd fire the person that did that because they're a liability and will cost the company money...
  29. FP TD05H 8cm Turbine Housing

    Using the proper spring loaded washers, oem bolts, and copper antisieze goes a long way in not ruining your stuff. I haven't messed up any bolts that hold the turbo on or the o2 housing on in I don't know how long.... and i have no ceramic coating. Ceramic coat is a nice option for those of...
  30. 1G 16g compressor on 14b

    Bastard nailed it. You're looking at a +3 lb/min airflow increase by switching that wheel. The gains are negligible in many cases as your system is likely bottlenecked in many other places. You'd be better off using it as a fancy paper weight and buying a new turbo..... something bigger than...
  31. Water to Air Intercooler High IAT's Help?

    I can help! My car has a WAIC on it. I highly recommend you ditch the bilge pump and get a pump meant for the job. The bosch pump used on 03/04 cobras is what I use in my car. The secret to getting good numbers out of WAIC is to have a large exchanger. This means that you can have a huge...
  32. Pte 6152 problems

    Did you try any of the things that Jusmx suggested first? He knows what he's talking about.
  33. Lancer Evolution III Intake Manifold

    I don't see how this EVO3 thread got off topic and started talking about drag racing smim's. Oh... yah I do. :/An aftermarket smim is not going to be anywhere as cost effective as an evo3 intake manifold. I got my manifold for nearly free (I think it was in trade for a part years ago). JMF...
  34. Blew the welds on the intake manifold

    I wouldn't use that intake manifold heat barrier. If your intake manifold is too hot then you have intercooler issues that need to be addressed, not isolation from the cylinder head issues. Your coolant system is for cooling the motor, not barrier gaskets and intake manifolds.On top of that...
  35. Horrible LAST ONWER!!! What HLAs(Lifters) are these?

    Bravo everyone that replied..... some of the smart ones on here too knew what was up!There is NOTHING wrong with 1g lifters. Guess what.... if your lifters are ticking, isn't that a sign that something in your motor isn't happy. What makes a lifter tick? Why is there anything OTHER THAN...
  36. HE351ve, how to control the factory actuator

    This conversation would be much better suited on dsmecu.com. We talk about code and high level tuning/engine concepts all the time there and get good quick answers from people that know a ton.
  37. Horrible LAST ONWER!!! What HLAs(Lifters) are these?

    Before taking the bait here and answering quickly, think about this for a while.What exactly is wrong with running 1g HLA's?
  38. anyone running hood exit exhaust

    How are you guys not getting pulled over? I know here in TX you have to have a catalytic convertor unless your car is 30 years or older. 25 years or older allows you to skip the sniffer during inspection.I just think the cops would be really interested in any car that sounds like this. Of...
  39. Jumped timing at 75 mph

    How do you jump timing if your timing assembly has been updated per regular maintenance procedures? Just curious.
  40. FP HTA68, FP2 Cams, & E85

    Hello, not trying to derail what you guys are talking about currently but in response to the first few posts in this thread talking about e85 and timing...I've run e85 in my car for quite a few thousand miles now and can say that as a daily driver having the crap beat out of it, the car is...
  41. ECUflash CeddyMod v1 (EcuFlash)

    Looks like the domain went down. Does anyone have any information about whether this was intentional?
  42. General How rare are 1g EPROM ECUs?

    Ha, I'm glad you corrected this two posts down. I was going to say have you been on my forum (dsmecu.com) where chip tuning is very much alive? :DI really think paying the DSMLink guys to turn non eprom computers into tuneable ones is a good idea. There are probably a ton of ecu's out of...
  43. Lets see some custom air ducting

    Hey I was wondering if anyone had any new stuff to add to this thread? I found it by searching google here this morning and have really been amazed at some of the stuff I've seen here.
  44. need tune for gsx haltek e6k

    You may have a hard time getting an answer for this on this forum but the guys over on dsmecu.com can probably help you in one way or the other.
  45. anyone running hood exit exhaust

    I would think if you're blowing a lot of soot you've got tune issues anyway. I'm not sure that rich under load would do it either considering the wind speed passing the exhuast exit at that point.
  46. World Time Attack Challenge 2013 Sydney, Australia

    Wow man what a cool build! I love seeing people make custom parts for their cars and the things in this thread already are very high quality. I can't wait to see this come together for you guys!
  47. Cyclone intake on 2g (what to mod on AC bracket exactly)

    What was used to fill these in? Was it jbweld or bondo? Something else?
  48. Jay Racing P/S relocate kit???

    It looks like a good idea but what are you gaining more access to by movinig that? People normally move the alt to run a big ass o2 housing/downpipe.
  49. 2.4 LR Build

    Lol mega 2 yr bump.If I may ask, what made you decide the setup you decided vs. other displacement sizes/options available?
  50. Fuel Pump Re-wire. Using 30 amp Breaker!!

    How is this "resolved"?
