any one know? did steevo forget to pay the bill? lol
You have a good point I just really want a ball bearing turbo and most ball bearings I have found been rather largeAnd i'll most likely have izzy's custom cages do it here in the st. Louis area
sense you're allready running link you could run speed density and that should pick up the slack for you but then it wouldn't be very street-able as speed density is affected by weather alot
I plan on American rally once a year at the 100 AW rally in Salam MO in open class as well as scca rally cross in awd modified and scca solo 2 (auto cross) in SM which means I can do just about what ever I want lol
I plan to a fp ball bearing of sort not sure how big yet. Right now stock td05 14b getting a new turbo will be one of the last things I do unless my 14b fails
It all starts with an ok looking 91 talon tsi awd that runs GREAT.So I buy the car. Drive it from North Adams, Mass. to here in St. Peters, Mo. with really no problems.Start driving it around and start noticing the smell of fuel whenever Im walking away from it. So I starting looking...
I just yesterday pulled the head on my 1g tsi and found that it needs a rebuild bad due to a ton of knock (previos owner unpluged the knock sensor unknowing to me :cry: ).Coming from someone that has rebuilt DOHC hondas and chevy small blocks that 4G63 is anoing to take apart, for some...
Good choice even tho they are princesses youwill love her.
I drove an AutoX preped 02 ws6 for 3 years dayly and even tho my AWD 1g is slower its a TON more fun!
:thumb: enjoy!
I got the timing belt and all the conectors off and just four bolts and the head bolts and off it comes.
While its off im putting ARP heaad studs in it and porting the head and manis. Also im fixing a fuel leak (maybe replacing all the lines), an exhaust leak (maybe a magan 3in turbo back will...
Yea go check out gatewaydsm.org also as long as your not a hockey fan Detroit is fine ;).
But there are a bunch of dsmers in STL that are ways willing to lend a hand on gatewaydsm.org
I'm looking for new lines not because I need bigger ones for the power but because mine are rusted to hell and I need new lines. Thats why I need the return and evap as well as the supply.
All Right i have a fuel leak back by the tank and my fuel lines are old and rusting.
I waas wonering if anyone new of some that makes lines from the tank to the filter on a 1g awd. whether steel tube or braided that'll hook right up.
If so shoot me some links.Thanks
I bought the car with the MBC on the car and it "HAD" gauges in it but was broken into and the A-Piller gauges stolen. I have new gauges on the way and am puting them in to the centvent.The MBC has the boost on the car set to 12psi. I hooked up a vacume/boost gauge that was diagonstic tool...
I Blew my head gasket on my way to class friday. Shut her down early enough to avoid extra damage. :cry:
Just started working on it and I figured all you would enjoy pics and updates.
thank you for the help and I looked up the specs on AllData and they said "Turbo Models Above 32°F (0°C)=20W-20,20W-40, Above -10°F (-23°C)=10W-30, Below 60°F (16°C)=5W-30"
I dont know if it was stated in the thread any where if so sorry for the repition.This Question of "How much boost can I run?" isn't very good question because the amount of boost an engine can take is dependant apon the other mods of the car.
A stock 4g63 should take 400 crank horse...
All Right, My 1ga's stupid pop lights are broke:banghead:, wont go up or down, and I have looked everywhere for a convertion for them that isn't the 1ga to 1gb.
Needless to say I'm tired of dealing with pop ups changed the moters on my trans am's 4 times already and dont want to get into that...
Ok the engine has 104K on it. I just raised the idle from 500-750 to 800-1000 and it keeps the light out. I looked up the specs on what oil to run and I saw you can run almost any weight oil other then 5w20. She seems to run better with the 5w30 I put in it on friday. dont think it is rod/main...
Now The rule of thumb for oil pressure is 10psi/1000rpm, but my low oil pressure light is coming on at idle 500-750rpm. now if I raise the rpm to 1000 light goes away and I get oil pressure back. Is my pump going out or is that just a very low idle for the car and the crank driven pump juts...
Ok guys, I know they are DSMs and they are all the "same" BUT iwas doing a little research and found that the lasers were about 500lbs lighter then the talons and eclipse. Does any one know why that is?

The new owner of gateway is an STL SCCA member and is redoing the roadcourse, oval, and more and plans to have NASCAR there in less then 5 years. The strip is almost done they are having a cleaning and final prep day next weekend and the weekend after is a bunch of different coming out to suport...
Penzoil ultra or platinum depending on you budget but the utra is required for a ferarri or it loses it's warranty and the platinum is the only oil other then dextos full syn that you can have in a 2011 or newer gm car without voiding warranty.
If ferarri and gm put there names behind so do I...
