So I've been having an issue with getting locked out of all gears lately. When it first started, i was able to have a friend push the car from behind slightly while i was sitting inside attempting to engage 1st gear and after a small roll, it would go right in. Then eventually that wouldn't work...
I know this is an old thread but i found this while surfing the web yesterday. Thought this thread would be a good spot for it. I believe its a drifter front bumper, blitz side skirts, and drifter rear.
I was in the same boat as you a few years ago. I went with the Green hta. I can tell you on a stock block, i hit full boost in 3rd at 4k rpm on 93 and about 22psi. I love this turbo on the street and haven't even done a set of cams yet or a built motor to unlock its full potential. I feel like...
Little update. So i bled the clutch multiple times. Finally got the car to go into 1st. drove it a handful of times and went into gear fine each time. Today i went to drive it and out of nowhere i am locked out of all gears again. I am at a loss of what else to try without having to have the...
A little more info, So ive checked the clutch pedal adjustment and that seems fine. The master and slave cylinder seem fine. What ive noticed is when i try and put the car into 1st gear, as im pressing the shift knob forward to engage, the car wants to roll forward slightly as if someone were...
I think it started a while back when I had the car up in the air and spun one of the rear wheels by hand a couple rotations while working on something and when I put it back on the ground, it wouldn't go into 1st. Like something is out of sync possibly from turning the wheel?
So basically, when i go to drive my car, it wont let me go into gear. I can have a friend roll the car forward slightly while im pushing the clutch in and then it will go into gear. Once im driving, it shifts perfecty fine. Goes into every gear. Its only when the car has sat and then i go to...
Just spoke with Feal about a set of coilovers, and they said they can even offer different size shock cartridges if I'm looking for a slightly lower ride height than their standard ones offer. Seems like a pretty awesome company willing to go the extra mile to get the customer what they are...
Lots of excellent and interesting points in this thread! I am in the same boat as you, desiring a better handling dsm. I can tell you one thing that made a HUGE difference for me was an aftermarket steering wheel. Go with something a little smaller such as a Sparco 320-330mm wheel. It makes the...
Bringing this thread back, i'm 6'5 with a 35'' waist and 220lb. Looking for a seat that will give me more headroom than factory leather 2g seats and fit my body. Ive sat in a sparco evo 2 and it was a little too snug.
I've been on Tein basics for 5 years and have been wanting a change. Ive been debating on getting the feal's but not sure how low they actually go. If they go as low as my Tein's i would be all over it.
So im about to order some Gsc s1 cams and curious which valve spring set would be a better choice. Im between the Gsc valve springs/titanium retainers and the Kiggly (steel street) set. The car is a street car on an fp green hta stock internals currently. Ive heard good things about Kiggly and...
Basically i love the look of a meaty tire on a wheel such as a 17x9. I currently have 17x9's with 245/40 tires at a +40 offset. Id love to fit something like a 17x9 +40 with a 255/40 drag radial. Just that Bubbled tire look on a 9 inch wide wheel looks so good when you see it on cars that can...
Just curious if anyone has ever thought of a way to possibly fabricate a way to fit wider tires on a 2g on the inside instead of having to run fender flares. Im sure it wouldn't be easy but i just think all the time how nice it would be to be able to fit a 255 or 265 tires without having them...
I've been on tein basics for 5 years now and have been thinking of upgrading to feal 441's. I don't dislike the tein basics, but I'm wondering how much better the car would handle bumpy back roads with the feal coilovers? anyone make a switch from a similar setup and notice much difference?
Im thinking for street driving/auto cross, the green with s1's would be ideal. I just hope the diffrence of s1's vs stock cams is worth it. I dont want to regret not going bigger.
Yes they made ball bearing Greens. I run one myself. like others have said, if you can still hear it spinning after shutting the car of for a while, its most likely ball bearing.
Bringing this thread back from the dead. Just letting you guys know I ended up going with the Fp green Hta Ball Bearing turbo. I absolutely love this turbo! I made 345whp and 315wtq on a dyno jet at 22psi on 93 octane. I'm on stock internals for now, but will be getting cams soon. I'm hoping...
Very nice! i made 340whp/313wtq with my Green HTA on stock internals 22lbs and 93 pump gas on dynojet. i was debating on getting a RED but im hoping a set of cams will get me near 400.
Thanks for the info! This is straight from gsc's ad for the s2's....The S2 cams are designed for those with more power in mind or a larger turbo. No low end power is lost vs the stock cams when used with the larger turbos. The S2 cams will show gains of 50-70whp over the stock cams and in...
I still have the car and yes the issue has been fixed.It turned out to be a bad OEM alternator from extremepsi. They sent me a new one and i haven't had an issue since.
Recently my car has been smoking under wot and more recently started breaking up under WOT. Seems to be running lean. I checked the plugs and they look slightly light greyish on the tips. I had the car professonally tuned by brad brooks last year and it was running great until now all the...
How about a set of kelford 264's? Ive heard they are similar to other brands 272's so maybe smaller than s2's which are 274's? Anyone running kelford 260,264,268?
UPDATE: Ok so ive been through hell with this thing.Installed the brand new OEM alternator and it lasted a few days. Sent it back, they said it was bad, and they sent me another new one. Installed heat wrap around my manifold and downpipe in case heat was the issue. Installed the other new...
So i put a multi meter directly on my alternator and to ground. Only getting around 12 volts. I cant believe this 1 week old OEM $300 alternator would just go bad?
UPDATE: So after the install of the new OEM alternator and battery, everything was fine for a few days. Now something new has happened which im hoping will help determine what the issue might be. I was driving today, came to a red light, all was good, then all the sudden the voltage dropped to...
Yes when the rpms dip low, the voltage does as well. Till is just about to die, then it catches itself and jumps back to normal. It doesnt happen all the time though. Some days it runs perfect
Im running a ball bearing Fp Green Hta on 93 pump gas making 350whp on a gsx. It is fun on the street. This is with stock internals and stock cams. After some gsc s1's im hoping to be close to 400whp. If u ran a similar setup as me on e85, u are looking ay one super awesome street car probably...
Just replaced the alternator with a brand new oem alternator and belt. Still having issues. The rpms are dipping too low every now and then approaching a stop. Im out of ideas. I have replaced battery as well as battery terminals, anternator, belt, checked ground wires, tested isc motor. Only...
Update: So i put a brand new battery, and battery terminals in the car just to be sure that wasnt the problem. Still having issues. The Car will start up and idle fine. Holds voltage fine until i go to drive it. When i drive it, anytime i come to a stop and let off the throttle, the rpms dip...
Just tested my battery with a multimeter and its reading 12.8v when car is off. Reading around 13.8v when car is running. my ground terminal it reading 0 ohms when car is off and .04 ohms when car is running.Could this be an issue with my ecu? any way to test it? i have dsmlink v3 lite installed
Ok, so ive been having an issue with my GSX ever since i got the car dyno tuned about 6 months ago. The night it was tuned, i was driving on the highway and i blew my intercooler pipe off the turbo, which caused the car to buck and shut off obviously.I fixed the pipe and went to start it and...
So has anyone been running a fp green hta on either of these cams that has regretted not getting the opposite cam? Im on a stock motor running 22psi on 93 pump and cant decide if the s1's will leave me wanting more or if the s2's are too large for a Green? Or im open to other cam suggestions to...
