Nobody is using them cause they are scared of the variable vanes, but you can weld the vanes open and have a gt37 turbo for nothing. They are even cheap brand new 6-800 bucks, I think you can get the 62mm version for 900. If you google GT3782VA you can find some posts from a guy using one on a...

Why don't one of you guys try a G3782va/powerstroke turbo? You can use a bunch of different ways to control the variable vanes, the solenoid works like a window switch, power one side and it opens power the other side and it cloeses. When the vanes are closed it makes the exaust housings AR...

So I wonder if the toyota tps would work? I will have to look at the reference voltages and shit on the vantage. It sounds like I would need to pretty much leave the motor like it is with all the sensors and such and just unplug the injectors? Do you think it would run ok with the injectors...

Well I would be using a toyota throttlebody so I wont have any of the throttlebody sensors. I would be ok with using the cas, ecu, and coils. I dont know if I want to use the maf since I have a maft translator and that just adds more shit to go wrong in the middle of nowhere. I am wondering...

Could I use the ecu just to control timing and not hook up the injectors or any sensors? Would it still control timing?

On a propane motor you need no fuel system. All you need is a distributor, mixer, regulator, and the propane lines to a cylinder.

Well I like the idea of ethanol, but they dont sell it around here (new mexico) and I dont want to still my own. Also I am looking for a very simple system, I dont want to be screwing with sensors, injectors, ecu's, fuel pumps, ect in the woods.

Well the reason I am wanting to run propane is because I am looking for an alternative fuel that hopefully wont go up to 7 dollars a gallon in the near future. I can also run alot more boost then with premium pump fuel since I wont run race gas. This is for a truck also and it will be offroad...

I have been thinking about running a 4g63t on propane as a primary fuel and I was wondering if there is anyway to control spark without the ecu? Maybe a distributor that will bolt on or something? The fuel system has already been figured out, but I dont know for sure how to control timing.

I have a logger, but need to find a power source for my laptop (lost the old one). The tach works fine. I put the snap on scanner on it (I am a mechanic), but you cant see as much info as you can with the logger. Everything I can see looks ok though, no codes or anything. You think if the...

I recently pulled the ECU in my 92 talon TSI to find out if it was eprom or not and it must be out of a junk yard or something cause it has 90 talon 4x4 wrote all over it. There is no wires switched on the ecu wiring harness, but it does have the little tach interface by the coil which I though...

I just got my car up and running and I am having problems with a weird misfire. If I rev it up in nuetral when it comes back down to idle it will start missing, but if I let it sit and start it up its gone. Any idea's as to what it could be?

Does anyone on here know where to find a apexi twin chamber blow off valve flange? I am building my intercooler piping and need to find a flange.

Thanks and I know its a good idea to replace the caps in the ecu that is why I asked where can I send my ecu to have the caps replace and the eprom socketed?

Bump

Acouple of the wires pulled out of the plug that plugs the maft translator into the stock maf plug on my car (1rst gen) and I am not sure what wire colors go to what wire colors on the other side of the plug? Could someone look for me and tell me? Also who does everyone recomend to socket and...

Is a chip set for specific injectors, a maft translator and a afpr enough to control big injectors? I am planning on running a hx35 and I need to buy some injectors, but I dont want to go over 680's cause I know the maft wont compensate for anyting bigger. Unless the chip will compensate for...

How would an intake manifold do that is built like an exaust header? I saw a venom intake for the cavalier that was built that way. You could take a merge collector from a header kit weld a mitsu intake manifold tb flange on one side and do equal length tubes to a intake to head flange. You...

I have an idea for an intake although it would be complicated to build and I dont know if it would work. It would be similar to a cyclone intake in that it would have two different length runners, but instead of having the butterfly valves in the runners they would be in a small plenum inside...

I moved to Iowa in 3rd grade and my teacher thought I was retarded because I wouldnt do my work and daydreamed in class, so they made me go to some place to take an IQ test to make sure I was smart enough to be in public school. Well I ended up scoring a 136 on it and my parents told the...

My Idea would be to remove the passanger seat and throw in a big walmart cooler, then you could just drop in a stock sidemount intercooler and run the piping in and out and epoxy the area around the holes were the pipeing goes through. Then you would run a inlet and outlet in near the bottom...

How the hell can I be rich with a stock fuel system and a 16g at 15psi? I have all the knobs on the maft translator zero'd out. Maybe the car has a aftermarket fuel pump I dont know about? So I need to take out fuel slowly and watch my logs so I dont take out too much?Drew

so should I mess with the low mid and high settings on my maft translator till all three are closer to 100%? Would I add fuel or take it out to go up from 80%? Or am I going to need more fuel pressure or bigger injectors to do so?Drew

They are during a run at wot.Drew

so you o2s are supposed to be in the .80's?. Looking at the conversion chart at http://www.ecanfix.com/~mdhamilton/dutycyclechart.html it looks like you are running aound 70 to 75% duty cycle which is abit low for most people they like to end up in the 80% range, I am getting up to 100% but its...

This log is on 15psi with a small 16g at 6600 above sea level and 90 octane. I am running a stock fuel system and tuning with a maft trans in blow through. I have all the usual mods upper and lower intercooler pipe, supra intercooler, 2.5" o2 back, ported exaust mani and o2 sensor housing. I...

No I think I am going to stick with the 2JZ in the 70's Toyota Truck. I dont feel like dicking around with tuning a rotary. Even though it would be a sweet setup in a miata!Drew

Thats low powered for a 2.4. I am probally going to run something around a 60 trim and make 400hp on pump gas and water injection (can only get 90 octane around here). I am going to set it up real nice with a tre tranny, nice frontmount, ems, ect. I want it to be halfway reliable, but still...

I am putting a 2jz in a 70's Toyota pickup. Now thats going to be fun, just for starters I am going to put a 12bolt rear end with 10 inch tires and use the stock engine and intercooler and stuff, but after I get it all set up and going good I am switching over to a 4 link 9bolt rear end, auto...

I greased the shit out of it and had two people (me and my girlfreind) trying to get it on, I was so mad she thought I was going to hit her! Later that day she told me she was scared when I got like that which is funny cause she could probally kick my ass. The only other time she told me that...

I ordered the ones with the part number you gave out, and I have a 3inch mas from the v6 gm cars. When you put yours on did they slide right on? Or did you have to work on it to get them to fit? I could not get them on I tried for an hour.

Has anyone else bought those dayco reducers and had trouble fitting them over their maf? I had to hack the crap out of mine to get them on and I think they leak so now I need to know if theres a way to get them on?Drew

I have tried reseting by hitting the reset button in the back and by taking the batteries out overnight. Either way worked for me I am still getting the fatal exception error. What is the correct way to install an OS upgrade on a palm? Maybe I didnt do it right.Drew

Its still says system version 3.0 at the top of the info page, but if you scroll down it shows os version 3.5. Is the one at the top supposed to change? What is the correct way to sync a new os onto the palm?drew

Someone needs to hit up shep. I would like to see his car smash the 1/4 mile record and put down like 800 hp.Drew

I know it came with os 3.0 but someone sent me a os 3.5 upgrade and I sync'd it onto my palm and it still wont work. Do I have to do something other then just sync the os on to the palm get it to work? Does anyone happen to have another 3.5 upgrade they can send me so I can see if the os I was...

I did this it helped alittle bit but not enough. I think if I put a 34mm flapper on it would help more, but I dont think the ported 16g with a 6cm housing, ported 02, 2.5" downpipe, no cat, 2.5" exaust, and ported exaust manifold are helping matters any. I am going to build a custom o2 sesor...

I synced palmstein onto my palm and when I try to run it I get a fatal exception error and it resets. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have tried installing software from 3 different places. I also installed os 3.5 or something like that so I dont know why it wouldnt work...

I think the v6 you have in your car is the same v6 that comes in the 2000 and up Eclipse. If this is true there is a big shot shop that is using the eclipse engine for a tube frame drag car so maybe it has more potential then you thought.Drew

Turbo it is, there is no question dsm's are bad ass cars, but have we ever asked ourselves is there a better way? I have went through a engine (timing belt, sat for 8 months), two 3bolts, tranny, brakes, and alot of other things. And the bad part about it is, when it does break it isnt little...

I went to the local 1/8th mile drag strip tonight and in my first run blew the tranny all over the track. It left a big strip of bg synroshift down the track which caused the track guys to go nuts cause synthetic doesnt come up too easily. All in all it took them about an hour to clean and...

Is that what happens when you dont have the right os? Because I have os 3.0 but someone gave me the 3.5 update and I synced it onto my palm. But when I go to system it still says os 3.0 but the update is in the info. Did I install it wrong or something?Drew

I am trying to install palmstein on my palm 3 and I have a problem. I can sync it onto my palm but when I try to run it I get a fatal exception error screen and it asks me to reset. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? I really want to log my 1/8th mile runs tomarow...

I just bought a palm for datalogging purposes and the dam thing only has os 3 and I need atleast os 3.5 to use palmstien. So my question is does anyone know where to find an os upgrade for free, palm.com is trying to sell it for 30 bucks, but I could buy a different palm with 3.5 and more...

I want to do the cut the area between the wastgate hole and turbine outlet but I cant figure out how to get my exaust housing off. I took the band clamp off but I can seperate it fromt the center section. Do I just pry on it like a bi*** or what?Drew

Go here and you can get a cable and software for $39 shipped. You can get it for a palm or a laptop for a 1g.http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87583Drew
