The real deal here guys. Three day event with dyno, drift, and drag. Here is the link to all the information.http://forums.westcoastdsm.com/index.php?topic=3.0

Recently pulled my valve cover to investigate what head work was done on my 7 bolt. I knew from idle that I had more than likely a 272 combo but wasnt sure. I did find 3g lifters, bc2100 springs and titanium retainers, and stainless valves. The cams are sort of a mystery on the other hand. They...

I know this is kind of a dumb question but I figured I would ask since I couldn't find a post about it for sure. I know that they will bolt up the same but the intake ports on the 7 bolt head are smaller than that of a 6 bolt. So say I got a Magnus intake mani for a 6 bolt head and wanted to...

I'm looking to have my gst awd swapped and looking for something close to home being that the shell has to be towed to get it done. So if anyone knows of a good shop that works with dsm's that would way cool. Thanks

I'm having an awd swap done on my gst and wanted some advice on what parts I should replace. The awd trans is out of the donor along with the front axles. I kept the rear as together as I could so the drive shaft is still installed in the rear end. I'm just wondering what new stuff I should have...

This is a 3rd gear pull on the freeway @20 psi. I'm using the local piss 91-2 octane premium. Got my A/F at around 11:1 but seeing a ton of knock. Looking for ideas for the reason. I have my balance shaft eliminated and poly mounts so maybe its phantom knock but I am unsure. Seems to run smooth.

I have two logs here from today. I have a idle log and a cruise log. Please take a look and let me know if I have it set good. I go lean under anything after 10 psi and cannot seem to get around it. I am not stock and my list of mods are as follows:Bolt-on Modifications: E316g, injen...

My base timing is set at zero and I'm looking for help to get my 5° advanced. Dsmlink v2.5 and adjustable cam gears. Info please

I just installed my dsmlink ecu in my 96 gst and wired the wideband into pin 76 for the front o2 but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to log my wideband in dsmlink itself. It has front o2 volts but that all I can get to come up with. The wideband is just below my front o2 in the down...

My Tsi has an awesome suspension setup on it and my new gst have some eibach springs that I am unhappy with. Seems too bouncy for me personally and I would like to swap to my grounds controls and illunminas. I know the fronts are the same but I have read on a couple places that the rears will...

I have a oil filter relocation kit that was used on my 6 bolt swapped talon and I would like to use it on my 7 bolt gst. Anyone know if it will fit or do I need to pick up another one? I liked how it was setup before on the talon and would like to do the same setup again. If no one knows I will...

I'm looking to swap a 96 gst motor from a donor car into my 95 talon tsi. I removed the 6 bolt that was swapped in it but I basically just removed everything that was in my way and lifted it out fairly bare. I'm looking to keep this gst motor as together as possible since its running and in...

depending on which route I take I may have a gst tranny with lsd in it. I believe its a quaife. I wanted to know if that would work in 95 talon tsi? Seems like it might but I am unsure and cannot find anything on it anywhere.

I have a awd donor car with a perfect rack in it and wanted to know if it would work on a fwd.

I have a 95 Talon Tsi Awd with a blown 6 bolt motor and got a really good deal on a gst with a fresh motor and a blown transmission. I plan on taking the 7 bolt out and using it in my talon since its making 370 to the wheels when it was dyno'd a while back. I know that I am gonna need a new...

I know there is going to be some head scratching but the long story short is that my stroker 6 bot is pretty much destroyed accept the block and so far I am 3800 on my paper build. I have a close friend with built 7 bolt complete gst save his failing tranny. I can pick his car up for a friend...

Seems like everything I search isnt bringing up what Im looking for. My personal car is a 95 tsi awd but my wifes car is a 420a eclipse. I know a lot about the 4g63 platform but not so much with the 420a. My question is would her 420a be a 7 bolt? Or is it completely different? Her clutch is...

So the long story short I have a 6 bolt 2.3 Stroker motor that I just lost in my talon. Rods, pistons, and possibly the crank but I don't know for sure yet. Normally I would just reorder all the parts that aren't useable but I am thinking I would rather spend a little more money and buy a nice...

I am a 2g tsi owner looking at a 2g nt 98 eclipse for my wife. Being that I don't know much about the 420a motors I am looking for some advice from the community. I know they are what I like to call " false advertisement " to our turbo cars but she would look good behind the wheel and I am...

I recently picked up a 95 talon tsi with a swapped 6 bolt stroked to 2.3. A few days back the oil sending unit snapped off at the oil filter housing and she lost all her oil on the freeway. By the time I knew something had gone wrong it was too late for the motor. All the rod bearings are shot...

So I am looking into buying a 96 gst fwd manual and the tranny is a dogbox gone bad. Has loud bearing noise according to the local trans shop. The rest of the car is built and Im looking to put a used trans in it for the mean time until dogbox can redo the trans for me. My question is if memory...

So to ask and amateur question and maybe this will help other new guys but according to this chart to be at 80%IDC(25.84lbs/min) of the 450cc injectors I could run (stock 2g pump) 18psi = 27.16lbs/min and be in a safe zone. I of course will be getting a MTX-L wideband before she ever see 18psi...

So my question is about adding a couple gallons of race gas when I go to the track this coming weekend. I want to know if there is any dangers / benefits to doing so. We get crap 91 octane out here at the pump and I can pick up some sunco (I believe) that is 110 octane unleaded. My car is mostly...

So what I want to know is if the Glowshift wideband is comparable to the AEM wideband. The only reason I would consider glowshift's wideband is that the rest of my gauges are glowshift. I would like to keep a " matched set " but at the same time dont want to sacrifice on quality. Anyone have any...

So just recently I am having alternator issues. I cant get it to crank over but will start and run with a jump. The battery is pretty new and all the terminals are new and connections replaced with nice copper expensive connectors. The alternator is giving out inconsistent readings and not...

So I recently bought a mhi small 16g from a seller on tuners and will be installing it soon(of course its rebuilt). I did not spend the 195 for the rre hacker kit because frankly I feel its a little pricey. So what my question is do those of you that have experience feel that I have everything...

I just wanted to get some opinions to make sure what Im going to order is gonna do what I am expecting. I would appreciate all the info an advice I can get since I want to do it right the 1st time. So heres the deal.I'm have a mostly stock 2gb that I am trying to make some more hp where I...

The answer seems to escape me. I have two different manuals (chilton and haynes) and it doesn't really cover the location just the removal and installation of the mirrors. I was trying to post pictures for another thread that has been marked as solved but their instructions have left me...

So my newbie question is why would you delete these? MY dsm came with these deleted and I was just wondering why someone would do this on a DD and what the realistic purpose is if any. I personally would have liked to had both of those intact. Any insight would be great.

So I have noticed that my CEL light comes on after a good 30mile drive or so and no noticeable effect on the car but I hate having a CEL light. If I shut the car off for a couple minutes then start it up again NO CEL light. I stopped by auto zone this time when it came on to have them scan and...

When I bought my gst it had an aftermarket boost gauge already installed so I never payed much attention to how it was connected. When I am boosting the needle shakes like it has a leak and so I did a boost leak test today and actually found a leak. fixed the leak with some epoxy until I can get...

For March not much got accomplished. The lack of a garage and the unrelenting rain contributed to most of it. I did install my intake hard pipe in between hail and rain. I also removed my destroyed window tint via fabric steamer. I have to say it went well besides the back window which was...

I have a 97 Gst 5 speed and it seem like when you have the clutch to the floor and rev it to 7-7500 rpms the car will move forward. I found a video on youtube about how to adjust your clutch via the clutch pedal and slave solenoid. Well this information doesnt coincide with my car. From what I...

I am sure this has been covered an I have been doing research an read the upgrade path at least 20x but its nice to have an open discussion about my plan to build my gst. I want all the good information I can so I dont have to go through the trial and error stage since money is on the lean side...

Bought a cheap ebay knock off carbon fiber trim kit till I can pay the 140 for the real one. Wanted to see what it would come out like for 25 bucks lol. Anyway whats everyone think?

I slowly doing my exhaust from the turbo back and my next step is the O2 Housing. I have been looking at a Megan stock replacement but I have also seen these " Open dumps" and wondered if they are just for the sound or do they have any actual benefits? Any DANGERS I should be aware of? Any...

Just took my 97 gst down to schwabs an had an alignment done since I recently replaced my wheel bearings an tie rod ends on both sides. They did the alignment an didnt charge me for the work since they said that they couldnt align it to their standards an instead handed me a paper saying that I...

So for the month of February I repaired the wheel bearings, tie rod ends, alignment, door handles (both sides) , rear seat belts, new tires and electrical inside. I also replaced the battery terminals/ connections. Bought new floor mats front and rear and cleaned an detailed the interior. The...

I have a 97 gst an just installed subs yesterday an everything was working great last night an then this morning it will not turn over. I have power to all my windows, alarm, lights, ect but the car will not turn over. I'm getting some clicking from the dash but seems to be passenger side. It...

So right now I have a BOV that vents 100% atmosphere an have been told it is making my car run rich between shifts due to the MAF. I wanted to know if there is a bov that I can use but not have my plugs fouling out either. I do like hearing the bov whistle. Any ideas?:confused:

I have a 97 2G an my side skirt/ Molding is falling off on the driver side because the plastic brackets that the white clips plug into are breaking off. I was wondering if anyone one else has had this problem? Im sure I can come up with something but I am open to ideas.

I just recently purchased my 1st DSM. I have a 97 gst an love the car already. Im kind of an audiophile so of course I wanted to install my new kenwood excelon HeadUnit I recently got in jan. Heres where the trouble starts. The PO took his out when I bought the car because I told him I...

I just bought my 1st dsm. 97 eclipse gst 5spd. Got the car for a great deal an it drove pretty rough but was told it needed a flywheel an it would straighten out but after reading countless threads in the newbie forum an some looking over it turned out to be the wrong plugs an gap an a bad plug...
