  1. Can't escape DSM problems....

    That was entertaining...did you get the car home yet? I'm curious to know what failed. you said this is your new engine... is it possible that an internal bolt came loose? my buddies evo had a loose oil squirter on his fresh 2.3 build.
  2. Rim paint. Stupid idea or no?

    I painted mine and have held up well just wish I didn't have a run on one.
  3. Rim paint. Stupid idea or no?

    I painted mine and have held up well just wish I didn't have a run on one.
  4. Turbo issue identified, now how to fix it?

    Check your vacuum lines. I've had a small hole in one and my car hada similar bucking problem. swapped for new line instantly fixed the problem.
  5. What turbo to get?

    What are your power goals? any particular spool time your looking for?
  6. Different Valve Cover

    600+ for a valve cover?! think id buy some cams...
  7. Maps for DSMlink V3

    I suggest getting the sd bundle as well. sd FTW!
  8. Hard starting

    Are you running e85? Cold starts usually take a crank or two or four
  9. Starter?

    Its def a possibility. if your batt, alt, and wires are good and hooked up right what else can it be. id see if you cant get a used switch off a junkyard car.
  10. A/C cause my idle to go up

    Can always count on getting pointed in the right direction on this forum
  11. Rim paint. Stupid idea or no?

    160 isn't bad but its not cheaper than 2 cans of plasticdip. stuff is pretty durable
  12. Starter?

    If you had the starter checked while off the car insure you have the power wire reconnected. my clutch switch is finicky,if I press it at just the right angle it starts. otherwise nothing.... its like my built in kill switch
  13. What turbo to get?

    I agree with zombie. you'll need way more than a nice turbo.unless you already have the supporting mods.
  14. Rim paint. Stupid idea or no?

    Heard of plasticdip then clear. don't think that paint would be different. might be harder to remove if you don't like it
  15. What turbo to get?

    What do you want a really want? a really nice new turbo? any turbo that reaches your power goals? only reason I said holset is because you can get the whole setup for under 1500. Otherwise go buy a 35r
  16. 2g with Evo X pistons and rods..

    What's the benefit of running x pistons? cheaper?
  17. Fuel pressure regulator question ...

    Could always go aftermarket
  18. Push Button Start (merged 11.07)

    Def a neat idea how much time you got wrapped up in the wiring
  19. Need someone who knows dsm link well

    Could it possibly be a coil pack? I know mine went out and it was a bad idle. try tps adjust on link.
  20. Fuel System Upgrade question

    I just did that this weekend on my car. you can try to piece together but its actually cheaper to buy that kit unless you wanna run a different fuel filter. just three straight -6an and one 45 plus the rail adapter. oh and if your wanting to run e85, you'll need to buy the 45$ stainless steel 40...
  21. What turbo to get?

    Pick up a holset for 400-500. Oil lines will run you almost 100. Get a waste gate o2 housing for 300-400. Then you still have around 500+ for a manifold, injector, link, or some cams!!
  22. Does this seem normal?

    Sounds like a turbo car to me. agreed check for leaks
  23. Maps for DSMlink V3

    There are no pre-made custom tunes. every project is different and behaves differently. Cars with similar mods could be used to get an idea where to start but I don't suggest loading someone's race tune for your car.
  24. What turbo to get?

    Get a holset, either a hx 40 with tubular manifold or a 35 with bep bolt on housing. The bep housing allows you to use the stock manifold, but may require denting the water pipe.
  25. where to get wire for batt relocation?

    More room in the engine bay, relocate about 40lbs of weight in the front, and helps with fuel pump rewiring.
  26. Winter Projects anyone?

    Upgraded to a hx 35, fp manifold, tial ewg, stm tank to rail kit, spal fans, hks bov, and vrsf fmic, deleted emissions and cruise. prob some other stuff...
  27. STL DSM Auto shops

    I wouldn't take it to adrenaline either. very high priced and lot of bad rap from my friends. id say give craven performance a ring. Pur performances tuner started his own shop and I've seen some of the work.
  28. valve accumulating oil

    I had a similar problem but realized I torqued the vc bolts too tight and cracked it barley. at idle no leak but after driving and popping the hood there was oil there. Check for cracks get a new pcv valve and when you changed the vc gasket did you do the half moon and spark plug tubes too. oh I...
  29. Tips on how to market a 98 gsx?

    Gsxs arent everywhere but many want them. autotrader has worked for me in the past and is better than 75$. Just list the highlights like maintenance, after market parts, and history.
  30. ebay o2 housings, wastegates questions

    I guess you could cut off the v band flange and weld on a 2 bolt flange but then that defeats the purpose of being cheapLol thought id clarify but you beat me to it.
  31. ebay o2 housings, wastegates questions

    Looks to me you'll need a custom v-band downpipe not cheap. then find a wg that is 38mm and has identical inlet and outlet flanges. on my setup I bought a used pr tubular o2 dump and a tial 44 ewg in the for sale forums. then just picked up a flange, bolts, and gasket and had a buddy weld it up...
  32. grinding/rattiling? noise when accelerating!!!

    As long as you run premium your octane should be fine even 91. were you running anything other than that?
  33. Tips on new DSM ownership.

    Check the body panels, each one should have a sticker with the vin printed on it. check to see if there's overspray from repairs. and don't forget to get a carfax...lol.
  34. FIC BlueMax 1450cc Tuning

    1450s here and had a little trouble dialing em in but they are good now.
  35. 1G Valve Cover Gasket

    I just bought one from rockauto. should be here this week. way cheaper than autozone for the same felpro part.
  36. St.louis DSMers

    What's going on guys? I have a 97 gst... following the trend. Not the nicest but she's a work in progress. currently got here tore apart installing hx 35 but hoping to have er done before summer. I live in both wentzville and Springfield mo. I wouldn't mind taking part in this cruise.... as long...
