I recently installed a billet wheel and matched/ balanced turbine in my 16g turbo with a full rebuild kit. I ran it for a few hundred kilometers at 20 psi. It has developed a lot of lateral play but hardly any axial. I am running a 4an braided line from head and running stock return line. Im...

Hey all,Before I get into the issues I'm having I'll post my car info.92 Talon TSi AWD Freshly rebuilt 6Bolt 2.3L Stroker (Eagle Hbeam rods, Ross Racing 9:1 Pistons) Stock head Garrett T4 Turbo GM 3" Maf set up as blow through right before the TB MAFT configured to 440cc injectors and zero'd...

Hey guys.I got a stroker bottom end and when I was going to put my flywheel on I noticed that there was an extra piece in the new crank stopping me from using my 6 bolt flywheel.Notice the cylinder protruding from the center of the crank? Does it come out ?Thx!

So I'm troubleshooting a bucking/stalling issue with my 97 Subaru Impreza (winter car) and I just wanted to do a quick sanity check.I used my timing light on the #1 cylinder wire and it was firing away perfectly and the timing mark lined up. Then I put it on the other 3 cables and they were...

Hey guys and gals. I thought I'd throw this issue I'm having with my winter car on our forums since this community of car guru's is incredible.I have a 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport which I have absolutely loved in the winter for the past 4 years. The only thing I've had to fix on it was...

I'm not sure if anyone here watches Rookie Blue or not, but I just thought I'd let the DSM world know that tonight (July 11) my track Facepalm is featured during a drug bust. Here's the track:<iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;"...

So my car has recently been falling on it's face under boost, so I took a log and noticed the MAF Raw value jumped drastically. I'm running a 3" GM Maf through a MAF-T (just passing the value straight through). Has anyone had a similar issue? I want to try and figure out if it is a MAF problem...

So I am getting my 1GB Talon painted next month and I'm looking for a specific color code. Yes I have searched and I have found all kinds of color codes like this list. But what I am looking for is someone with this color car to verify the color code:I think it's either Monaco Red...

Hey,This past winter I built up a 92 Talon AWD. I am just doing some initial trouble shooting right now as I just got the car going. The following is a list of engine related mods:DSMLink 2.5 GM 3.5" maf + maft (straight through, no compensation) RC 550 injectors FMIC Innovate LC-1 Wideband...

So I wanted to get some opinions on this weird problem I'm having with my gf's 92 Celica GT.I had the front suspension apart doing the swaybar links and balljoints and I noticed that the inner CV joint on the driver's side was wobbly... I could move it up and down a quarter of an inch or so...

I need a center shaft and transfer case for my 92 talon (manual transmission). I'm located in saint john new brunswick. I'm really hoping to get my car on the road soon, so if you can help me out let me know! Nick at thearkateks . Com

On a scale from 1 - 10 how f##ked is my tranny? I am assuming I will need to replace the transfer case because the teeth are so torn, but do you think the output shaft will need to be replaced too?

So I'm in the process of putting in an ACT 2600 clutch and I ran into one stuck bolt on my xfer case. I can get it to turn a little bit but I have confirmed that it's just twisting the bolt so I stopped. I tried my 350lb-ft impact wrench on it, as well as penetration fluid and heat (although...

So I have an NGK AFX Wideband and I really don't want to run the stock narrowband sensor. I was wondering if anyone has ever made a circuit to convert the wideband signal to narrowband.It seems pretty easy to me. If you just found what voltage was equivalent to 14.7AFR, and built a simple...

Ok so I know this isn't a DSM question, but since this forum has a lot of smart people I thought I'd ask anyway. The two pictures attached are of my GF's 1992 Celica GT. It's the end of the frame rail where the two front swaybar mounts attach to. I'm looking to either weld it myself or get it...

hey guys/gals,I finally got my talon into the garage for this winter's build and the first thing I wanted to take a look at is my clunky drivetrain. I had the problem where if I was in 1st gear and going really slow the car would kind of shutter back and forth as it approached idle.I...

I have not been able to get a hold of Tyson Crow (fastgt1990) since I paid him for a FMIC. Sometimes shipping takes a while to get up here to Canada, but he said he'd have it shipped by September 28th and it shouldn't take that long. I have sent him many emails and messages on here, but he...

So I recently bought my girlfriend the "car of her dreams". It's a 92 Celica GT :hellyeah:Anyway I got it for 500 bucks so you can imagine that its a bit of a headache. It idles like complete shit, and sounds like it is misfiring slightly when driving. I am going to verify spark and fuel...

I bought my 92 Talon AWD a few months ago and I've been since tracking down all sorts of problems. But my vacuum leak problem is the strangest of all.My car idles at 1500 and the vacuum on my guage says around 10 inches. I've found a lot of vacuum leaks and fixed them (like a chunk missing...

Hey!I have been releasing music for years with my older band The Arka Teks, but recently my other band "In Dreams" has just released our first album called Sleepwalk. It is a combination of electro/house/synthpop/80's so if you are into that sort of thing please check it out!It's pay...
