    What do you think you will go to when the 4g63 is a dead platform? (think past Evo)

    I was sitting in my car today, wondering what would hold my interest after this. I believe battery tech will have advanced well beyond Li ion banks weighing a thousand pounds that only provide marginal range. Carbon nanostructure is opening up some amazing possibilities in energy storage...I...

    Steve-O's Killer Karaoke... worth a look

    Killer Karaoke sounds stupid as hell, and it is, but it is much funnier show than I expected. Steve-O isn't a smooth host like Joe Rogan or anything, but it seems to fit him because the whole damn show is awkward... If you were a fan of Jackass, Steve looks a lot different. He doesn't look like...

    700hp Compound Turbo Redline build. Not DSM, but WOW...

    I was looking at some stuff at EvolutionM and came across this... It's a real work of art you have to take a look at for yourself. DSM builds are what inspired this car.700hp Compound Turbo Set-up (gt2871r & gt4094r turbos) - evolutionm.net

    Why would an NRA Member sticker on a DSM be surprising??

    I am a life member of the NRA and have had the "Lifer" sticker on my cars and trucks for 20 years. I've never had anyone make any comments other than the "Hey, me too. What do you shoot?" question you'd normally get from showing it... that is until today. I had a guy come up to me and say that...

    Saturn alternator tensioner bracket

    I just finished swapping a 96 amp SC2 alternator into my car, and I have to say that the tech article glosses over a glaring problem. Using the stock tensioner bracket is just plain unsafe. I can see hitting a pothole at 70 under boost and jolting the bolt loose from the saddle in the stock...

    I knew I had to stop drinking when...

    I got pulled over after launching the car out of a normally abandoned parking lot because some jackass teenagers had been out there ripping donuts and making huge clouds of tire smoke so thick the people living a few blocks over complained... I had enough vodka in my blood to blow a 0.1, 0.02...

    Weirdest cam damage I have seen...

    I have seen a lot of damage done to an engine from various causes, but I have never seen this. This isn't my engine, but I had to show this because I don't even know what the hell to say to the owner about this. This is an HKS cam, and the only journal damaged was the #3 intake cam journal...

    Acid Porting the Exhaust Manifold

    I have an extra exhaust manifold that I have been experimenting on and I have decided to acid port it. I have done the standard lip porting on the manifold that is on my engine now, but I am convinced that the 2g stock exhaust manifold can be ported out to FP casting size runners, if only you...

    ECUflash MAP sensor scaling for ECUFlash...ready to hurt your brain?

    I just spent 4 hours going through the scaling of the map sensors in ECUFlash to see if I could figure out how to add a custom one, and I discovered how it works. I am not a programmer, but I have done a little, so I understand some of the very basic concepts... Now I am going to try and explain...

    What is the shifter weight for???

    I am just curious as why this:is necessary, for ANY reason... I just cut mine off to make room for some larger piping, and honestly, I wish I had cut that thing off the day I bought the car. The shifts feel so much more fluid and easy WITHOUT that weight. I can feel what the synchros...

    2.5 Bar MAP scaling for SD Ceddymod?

    In the traditional spirit of being a DSM cheapskate, I was thinking I could use the 2.5 Bar sensor I have from when I boost referenced my SAFC instead of shelling out the $70 for the GM MAP sensor... especially since the actual transducer in the GM sensor is just the 3 Bar version of the same...

    ECUflash ECUFlash-Timing went way off. NEED HELP FAST!!

    I have a 98 GST black box in my 95, have had no issues with flashing it. I bought the Speed Density ROMs from Ceddy, installed them, and have only copied my old ROM and flashed in a Ceddymod 1.9C MAF ROM with the solenoids, EGR, p0300 turned off, and the lock timing terminal on and set at 5. The...

    Greddy Profec B: POS? or really big POS?

    I am thinking my Greddy boost controller (that came with the car when I bought it) isn't doing a f***ing thing except screwing up. I have my intake buttoned down, most of it is welded, so I know it's not leaking... but my car cannot maintain a stable peak boost pressure even if everything is...

    High IAT's with heat soaked steel IC piping? Not anymore...

    I have an issue with my IAT being 130-135+ on hot days because of two things. First, the previous owner thought just sticking a big cone air filter on the MAF was a good thing to do, without boxing it in, so it would suck hot engine compartment air all the time. The second is my steel IC piping...

    Boost referenced SAFC is a HUGE improvement!

    If you're like me and use an SAFC to compensate for larger injectors, you've probably discovered that the SAFC really only works "well" in a narrow band of the engine load. Most people compensate for this by spending weeks messing around with the settings to get the most power when they are...

    SAFC tuning... a possible cheat?

    I basically have a question about ECU response. I know that tuning with the SAFC while the ECU is in closed loop is basically pointless, as the ECU will eventually compensate for what ever the SAFC settings are. When you mash the throttle to the floor though, it is flipped into open loop, where...

    Detect knock before your knock sensor can.

    I love reading the Autospeed website and came across this a while back and decided to try it.http://autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0353It is basically a way to make an amplified headset for listening to engine noises that you can comfortably use while driving. You can hook the clip up...

    Fender braces fixed the floppy front end!!

    This weekend I decided to make a set of front fender braces because of all the positive reviews they have received from other people. I used a gas shielded MIG welder, a 12" miter chop saw, a drill with a 3/8" carbide bit, and ~$25 worth of steel tubing from Lowes, plus a bit of 3/16" plate I...

    7 bolt crankwalk rebuild with pics

    I have a 95 GSX that has been my second wife for about a year now. I bought it as a bent valve special from the first owner. He wasn't exactly a stickler for maintenance and treated the car like a Jeep. It was lucky to have the oil changed on time, much less anything else. I bought it, rebuilt...

    Need a Mitsu spanner wrench... NOW?

    Well, here is my DIY tool of the day.That is one of those 2.5" two piece exhaust flanges you can get at any autoparts store, a bolt to hold it tight to the handle of an adjustable wrench and clamp it in position, and a couple of bolts stuck in my crank shaft sprocket. This works every...

    Build your own 3" exhaust = BAD IDEA

    I am posting this for all of the people out there who are DIY inclined, those who usually fabricate a lot of their own parts and do their own repairs. Here's a little story that might make you think a little harder when tackling larger custom mods on your car.Monday evening I had the bright...

    Turbocharging is about energy recovery... why not recover MORE?

    So, I was sitting here at my desk, thinking about a project I have at home the involved the use of a tesla turbine, and had an idea. Maybe one of you with more physics knowledge can tell me if it's feasible.A turbo is basically converting what would be wasted heat energy into work by having...

    16T as a 16g substitute? Less $. Td05h turbine swap?

    Just like the title says... I can get Volvo td04-16T chra's for pretty cheap across the border in drug war land. Is it a major problem to swap the td04 turbine with a td05h? I have a couple 14b's to goof around with, and the price of a true MHI 16g is getting too rich for my taste if there's an...

    Pot Mod Fuel Trims

    Ok, I did the 10k potentiometer mod after my 1g CAS swap and have had no problems with it so far. I've searched and had about 90% of my questions answered, but I want some verification of my methods because I don't have the gauge for my wideband yet and I really don't want to do any damage to...

    wth would make a 5v circuit run 9v? This is seriously frustrating!

    I have the p0340 code and can't for the life of me get rid of the damn thing. I have swapped in 3 different CAS's and another ECU. The voltages read right elsewhere, but at pin 88 (cam position sensor signal wire) I am getting 9v on a 5v circuit and a can't figure out why! Its driving me...

    95 CAS- 3rd failure. What is the trick to these sensors??

    I've been rebuilding a 95 GSX and had to pull the head to redo the valves. Everything is back together and SHOULD work. I have determined the problem preventing the car from working has been and continues to be the CAS. I have destroyed 3 of these damn sensors... after the 2nd, I checked the...

    Wet Sanding: Big improvement.

    This is "orange peel", present in nearly every paint job. This is a little exaggerated because there's a lot of paint on my car. Picture taken from a few inches away.<img src="http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/files/1/3/0/6/8/7/imag0270.jpg" alt="Imag0270" />This is after a basic wet...

    CF: Form vs Function

    Just a question regarding form vs function. Suppose you are going to spend the money to buy carbon fiber parts, not laminated fiberglass but 100% CF... hood, fender, hatch, etc. :1. Is the function is serves in significantly greater weight reduction more important than the woven 3d CF fabric...

    Trim DELETE.

    I had an idea about the trim on the 2g that I couldn't find a thread for, so it's time to start one. This is the first DSM I've worked on that I own. One of the things that has bothered me from day 1 is the exterior trim. To be blunt, it sucks. The door trim is a flimsy, bent up piece of junk...

    Quarter window scoop/plug

    This may be a bit above the Noob section stuff, but I don't post much unless I have experience with the subject... and since this is my first DSM, I haven't posted much.I've searched a lot for any info about using the quarter window spot for FUNCTIONAL scoop, not some drag inducing piece of...
