Some idiot before I bought my second gsx put the pivot ball on stupid tight and rounded the nut all at the same....and of course the ball needs to be replaced now. I tried vise grips, they haven't worked. I even tried to slot the ball and use a flat head with a socket... still no. I removed the...
Anyone have a clue as to what type of aluminum the Slowboy Racing intake manifold is made out of and what thickness it is? Thanks in advance (I have a crack where the runner meets the flange on cylinder #4).
Not enough space in your favorite car's engine bay?
Do you really not like that eye-sore of a battery next to your 4g63?
Not wanting to add hundreds of dollars in breakers and inline fuses?Well utilizing the stock fused components you still can toss your battery in the trunk or behind the...
Guys, My brother woke up this morning, and our green 95 eclipse GSX has been taken. Any DSMers around Arvada, Golden, etc areas please keep your eyes peeled if you have the time. This just reminds me of why I have no faith left for people who mess with other's pride, joy, and hard earned...
I'm trying to make a conversion from ECMlink timing advance values to an ECUflash big map timing map. Now would a 6 degree advance (slider thing) at say 2000 rpm result in the timing advancing 6 degrees all the way across the possible load range??? Thanks in advance
Well I was on my way to getting finished with my head gasket job when I was torquing down the main engine mount eyebolt (timing side into the shock tower) when the bolt got 'loose' on me when I was nearing the proper 67-72 ft-lbs of torque. I pulled the bolt out to find that there were threads...
Ok guys, I'm in a bit of a doozy... I'm putting together my 6 bolt engine build and I'm hitting a giant wall with my valve to piston clearance. For starters I have 9.0:1 Manley pistons onto Manley H beam rods, bored .020 over. My ptw is .0035 as per Manley specs. Now...onto the issue:We clayed...
There is no easy way to put this, but I blew up my motor. At the very least I am expecting it to be a headgasket and hoping that is all it is. I had just gotten it running yesterday and everything was just fine with it until it started overheating in traffic. I figured it was due to running only...
Alright, so recently at U-pull-it I find the hidden gem, full black leather interior unmolested in a 1999 GS. I bought it all for under $100 (insane deal right?), but the drivers seat is a manual (no power). I have full grey leather interior on my gsx and want to keep my power driver's seat. How...
So I found out that the source of my squeak is from my power steering... And it's not a loose belt... Is there anything I can do to fix the ps itself like a rebuild or is my only option to buy a new one? Thanks
So I discovered my wheel bearing was bad, and I used PB blaster on it and a slide hammer. However, the hub didn't separate from the knuckle, instead the bearing came apart so there is still the other half stuck in the knuckle...:ohdamn: What the hell should I try to do at this point? Should I do...
There is no place in Omaha that sells Redline that I can find. So, I still need a little over a half a quart of tranny oil/fluid, what is a good alternative to this that isn't synchroshit? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I figured out the cause behind my clicking/knocking noise is my driver's side CV axle, and I was wondering, what would be a good place/good brand to buy? I have an autozone, advanced auto, and Napa all close to me. Also, RockAuto seems to have them at a good price, but I just have no idea which...
it only starts to squeak after about 1.5k and is very noticeable at around 2k but starts to die out but remains there at just over 3k. I didn't replace my auto-tensioner or any pullery like the dampener because its not even 30k since the rebuild. What could cause this noise? I have had numerous...
I got all my timing marks lined up easily even with the difficulty of fighting compression, but now i have a new problem with the special tool I bought from Jay racing. At first, it would not even go in correctly, but then i looked at the angle of most others and it turns out that I could not...
It took me quite a while to figure this out and the Vfaqs and manuals don't do a good enough job of explaining and showing what this is and how to remove it. Actually, it is quite simple. The only bolts needed to remove are all 12mm socket size, and they can be reached with a small ratchet or...
I'm moving along with my water pump replacement, but I have no idea what to do after I have removed my PS stuff, alternator, motor mount, and water pump pulleys. The FSM, haynes, and chiltons all say remove the tensioner pulley bracket with the A/C drive belt and then the crankshaft pulley, but...
Well, I got my BISS screw put back in after it popped out and it fixed my vac leak problems, however now i have coolant peeing down the timing side of my engine. :( So, I have read up that it is most likely a water pump going out, and I have ruled out the connection to the water pipe from the...
I got my new VAG COM datalog cable and my serial to usb adapters today from ebay, and the OBDII cable works great, but the serial cable didn't come with any fricking drivers... The only markings it has on it is the numbers 340. Where can i find the drivers and does anyone else have experience...
I was wondering, since I am looking into a full twinscroll HX35 setup (and i am looking for a nice and cheap manifold... he he haha...:(), is it possible to weld a plate into the turbo T3 flange to get a cheap divided t3 setup? Has anyone done this? Is this possible? Thanks in advance :hmm:.
I dropped a 10mm nut and it landed in the circled area. I tried fishing it but it got stuck further to a point where I couldn't fit my finger into. Does this lead inside the transmission, or is it just part of a bracket? Sorry for the newbish sounding Question, I'm just super pissed that I...
First off, I've been having problems with coolant lately, and problems with stalling. I fixed my coolant leak and all my vac leaks, and burped my coolant system (after making sure it was full). It still wanted to die, so i looked up and determined my ISC was off, so I used evoscan to fix it. I...
I have been trying to get my car ready to make the switch to SD, but i am confused on some unclear items. First off, I bought Ceddy's full package with Bigmaps and SD bigmaps. What ROM needs to be flashed onto the car to log the aircounts with the logger and MAP sensor (omni 4 bar) wired in? Do...
Hi guys, let me start off with how we got our "baby" LOL. (Oh and by the way, um, there are 2 people who "own" this beast, my twin brother and I :D) Our first car we got from our dad passed on to us, an '01 Ford Mustang V6 red convertible. (yes... I know, and to make things worse it was an auto...
Yesterday I discovered that Ceddy has been on his website recently. I found the boost control section on his website and I could have sworn that it was not as complete as it is now. (if not correct me but...)Ceddy's recent activity log and boost control guide (still under development?)...
I was looking at some of his tuning guides on his website, and he updated the GM boost control mod guide for ceddymods! His account showed that he has been online today/yesterday! :D (sorry i got a little excited)Looks like he may be finishing what he started after all!Maybe this has...
I recently bought a JDM cyclone manifold and it came with a lot of stuff. Tell me what this stuff is. I think that i may actually have the "rare" white vacuum canister and electronics like the solenoids.Check it out
(also, whats the best way to clean these manis up, and repaint?)
I've been trying to log and for some reason the 1byte load (i flashed ceddy's rom onto my car) has been acting up recently. Its either 0 or like 2.4 always... WTF
Anyone else have these issues? This makes tunning kinda difficult... Maptracer gets single columns and excel shows 0 or 2.4.
I just got my innovate mtx-l and began installation today, but i can't figure out where to wire in the 5v yellow logging wire signal to. I've looked through a number of ceddy's stuff and threads on this but no one has straight up said how to do this. Also, is the logging cable provided by...
I recently bought a hatch cover from upull-it, and its not in the best of shape, but im okay with it for now. Yet, it does not seem to be complete. The pics shows the area circled in red which i am missing. Does anyone have any pics of this? Also, can you buy this part or the entire hatch cover...
I am at a loss. I cannot reattach my bumper completely because of broken off bolts that secure the left and right sides of the bumper to the fender. ALL of the bolts' heads broke off... :banghead::banghead::banghead::barf::cry:Anyways, I have no idea how to remove these. I went to walmart...
Alright, i have recently purchased an FMIC and bov, and i bought it with the previous owners speed density setup with an omni 4bar map sensor and an iat sensor. These two sensors are hooked up to an ecmlink speed density plug n play thing. I looked on their website and it seems that it is their...
Just had a new transmission and transfer case installed a while ago (thank you VTECthis for that beast TRE stage 2 :hellyeah:), and the tranny shifts perfect and all. I also get a noise when rolling in neutral and turning like a ticking/clicking/tumbling sound from the right cv axle area that...
I had to take off my front bumper and fender, but some of the bolts are so rusted that they are snapping off and breaking. How do I fix this/get them out. Also, how do I prevent this shit from happening in the future?!?:barf:
I recently discovered my door and fender binding, and it is getting really bad. I looked at my lower door hinge and it looks like it is broken off, but i have no idea wtf this black shit is. You guys need to help me. What the hell do I do? If you need anything from me just ask. These pics should...
I have tried to sift through all the stuff but i can not find anything helpful on this at all. Has anyone been able to get rotors and calipers from a 3000gt SL or VR4 (specify please) onto a 2G DSM? What modifications need to be done, is it a bolt on upgrade? Thanks in advance.
I recently saw that Ceddy had some coding in his stuff for a cyclone manifold, and coincidentally i would like to get one of these eventually. I have been unable to find anything on it though (i searched in his forums). Does anyone know how to set his up or did he just not finish it yet?
I collapsed the front left spring slightly in my GSX when i had a flat tire and jacked it up to replace it. It rides off to the left (which mean i have to hold the wheel a little to the right) and the gap is visibly smaller on the front left fender.
Where can i get new springs for a decent...
I know i am going to need a new bov soon when i get a new intercooler and i was wondering what good aftermarket brand bovs out there are the best. Best meaning that compressor surge is rarely an issue or it is easy to tune out, and obviously no bad leaking problems. Thanks
I actually WANT the stock rear MITSUBISHI GSX Badges/emblems, and the previous owner did not like them so he debadged it. Where can i buy / get them? Also, how would I know where to get them in the right spot? thanks
I just finished with my big 16g turbo swap and everything went mostly fine and fired up perfectly, but i am leaking oil. I found out it was leaking from the oil feed line and tried to just slip some rubber hose and zip tie it down so i could at least test drive it, but no luck. What should i do...
Well, by looking at my so called "small" 16g turbo (no shaft play perfect condition) that i got for $220 on ebay I cross referenced the numbers on the compressor cover with your guys' on DSM tuners in some other threads and randomly found out it is actually a big 16g turbo...
SO, if i wanted to...
I had a boost leak because it would not build boost and it would buck/jerk like crazy. I fixed that, and it drove in boost nicely finally, but when i hit about 13-14psi, the turbo started to "choke," it didn't jerk or buck like a standard boost leak, it just didn't pull as hard as it should and...
I am looking at an AEM EMS for a good price. I know i can use EcuFlash, but i am still open to other options. Just let me know what you think of it and what it was like using it (do you like it etc comments...)
PREFFERABLY FIRST OR SECOND HAND EXPERIENCE (not just I HEARD it from him her etc)...
