You would be right that is a reinforcement kit. And a good one. Id get that, along with a new door handle off of ebay ($7.50). Put in the reinforcement and your golden. As for a fix, its all plastic, so would depend on where it broke at. end of the day however 20 bucks for the kit, 16 for 2 new...

Hey, Thanks for the little tip on the thermostat. Never thought about throwing in a little air bleed off hole. Next time I change out my thermo im going to have to do that.

Well I'm inspired/impressed right now. Read the thread. Watched the videos. Yep I'm Sold. I have a S16g sitting on the shelf. I have a FPRed in the car now. I like the feel of it after about 4.2k rpm. But I'm really missing my part throttle/low RPM power. I do however have a couple of...

One thing i noticed was my voltage drops to 11.7-12.3. once it hits 11.7 thats when i see it start going lean like 18:1 or even higher. Was exploring the idea of doing a voltage adjustment to the InjBatteryAdj. see if i can adjust for the voltage drop. What does your voltage do around 600 rpm...

I didnt have this issue till i put in the new MAF, Injectors, Cams and Turbo. And then i didnt have a ISC either.

both are brand new. s90 TB, and sheetmetal intake.

No boost leaks, no FIAV or ISC (block plate) Sitting @ idle and driving, runs like a champ. Putting it into reverse or coming to a stop it just dies. I watch my WB and it looks like it goes lean right as its dying. I have no clue. Car idles fine, drives great. When i put it into drive or...

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/457927-wot-pulls-need-help-advice-little-issues.htmlHere's a log that shows it.

Yeah it's running ok. I'm just starting the tuning on it. Getting little .4, .7 blips of knock. Not sure of that's knock or phantom knock

Does anyone actually buy a turbocharged car for the sound the BOV makes? I'm going to guess not. Way to many people on here get all caught up in the "it's not stock so it's rice" crap. IMO OP of your going to have a bov unrecirc then hell yeah is should sound good. Your the one listening to it...

And I'm seeing that at idle. It's just when I'm at wot do I get the -3.9. And it locks in and stays there.

Been there and did all that. Stft is good. Maybe I need do do another maf adjust.

So I have my combinedft at idle looking real good. Right between 0-2.1. After doing some WOT pulls I noticed my combinedft was at -3.9. What am I missing here? Shouldn't it be at 0.0%?

I suppose you could do that. Couple of ticks in the DA Tables fixed it for me.

So yesterday was the first day of WOT tuning. Starting slow on it. Im getting a little knock in a few spots but its small 0.4, 0.7, 1.1 and thats it. Tried a few things to get it out. Just not for sure what else to try. Here are a couple of logs,My fuel trims are in line and my combinedft at...

RESOLVED!!. That did the trick. Happy as a fat kid with cake. Thanks Wildside.

Thought i would throw on my 2 pennies on this. When I first started out in DSM I bought my 97 GST. And I like it. However knowing what i know now, I would have gotten a AWD. Im looking to either finding a 2Gb GSX or finding the rear end and doing a AWD Conversion. The fact is I have damn near...

Thanks for the help.

Ok makes sense. Until I can find said parts/afford them what can I do in the mean time

But don't both of them bolt to the tb? I don't really know car didn't come with either

Bryan- yep just a block off plate. It's what came with the car. When I bought it there was no iac.Jimmy- don't really want a water cooled iac.

S90 74mm. EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts

I'm aware of that. Thought about throwing in a iac from a mustang. Open to suggestions. Read somewhere that idling at 1250-1300 will fix it but that seems awfully high

Hey guys. Just curious what some of you guys are running for idle. I'm having issues with it stalling at a stop in gear. Idle in park is 930-960 idle in D is around 450-500. I'm playing with it trying to find that happy point. Just curious what some others have found to work

Going to do the compression test tommorow. Will also try and get a leak down test done if orillys will rent one to me. Going to also pull the down pipe and make sure that I do indeed have smoking coming from the engine. Will post tommorow. Not sure on the wideband. Getting code p0625. Something...

Seems to build boost just fine. But I don't know for sure. It's a fpred turbo. So until this smoke thing gets handled I've been keeping it out of boost. Why is a break in needed? I never touched the block. Or are you referring to my break in 4 years ago? I don't really remember. Brother in...

Im using ARPs. torqued to 90. The head was surfaced 4 years ago when i did the block. my machinst said that the deck on the block was perfect. So assumed that i could use a mls.

Ok so ill try and keep this short and sweet. Came into some money decided to do a major rebuild of the motor. Turbo, exhaust mani, cams/springs, wastegate, linkv3, wbo2, injectors ect ect. 4 years ago when i bought the car a rod was knocking. but in a full forged rotating assembly, mls head...

i have the intake pipe on my car, ill post a measurement later this afternoon

If its on the intake side sounds like you blew a internal seal on the turbo. How is the shaft play side to side?

What are your coolant temps at. If your low on coolant or your thermo is stuck you could hear the water boiling.

Where is the turbo full of oil at?

Do: whatever you want to YOUR car. If you want wood grain body kits aluminum spoilers graphics purple polka dots then you rock that all day. Don't: let anyone tell you what you should or should not do to your car. Nobody's opinions matter but your own.

Bro you have a long way to go before you would be thinking about doing swaps and what not. Sounds like you dented your piston. Can you get into a 6bolt swap and all that? Sure. Is it necessary for your power goals? Um no. Id start here. Get yourself a forged rotating assembly with main bearing...

If all you are ever going to want is a 400-450 you can just get a stock rebuild. But as with most of us we always want MOARRRR. Lol I put a forged setup in mind for 1800 bucks. started out thinking i only wanted 450, now im wanting more like 550-600. Glad I put in a forged setup to begin with.

Sounds like water/moisture in the intake system. take your intercooler pipe off the TB and turbo, blow compressed air through the intercooler piping. let it dry out. Take off your MAF, and use some CRC MAF cleaner on it. (available at advanced auto).PS let it sit for a couple of day and the...

This says it all.

heres a simple solution for you. Genuine MHI 16g Turbo | eBay:DGreat Minds Think Alike(and ps thats mine, direct bolt in)

YES. This is what I was talking about. There is your boost spike issue. BINGO!! lol :rocks:

Wow what a bunch of tool bags. Way to welcome new people. here is a possibility. Your wastegate hole may have some cracks. sometimes the wastegate flapper will stick. so when it gets hot it sticks. once it reaches up into 18psi it then forces the flapper open and you return to 12 pounds. There...

The valve cover wasent seated all the way down on the head apparently. and with 45 mph winds it blew snow into it.

So its snowing. I'm in the middle of changing out some cams and i took the VC in last night to paint it. Threw a old one on i had laying around. I didnt get the hood all the way latched and this morning my engine bay and head is full of snow. Scooped out as much as i could. dumped oil in the...

Why do u want a tubular manifold? If it has the bep housing for stock fitment check out forced performance manifolds. It's very sweet. And they're having a sale on them right now.

Boost leak test should tell you about your idle. As for the head gasket pull your dipstick. Check and see how your oil looks.

I thought I would add to this. I have a 97 gst with a fpred 272s and ecmv3. Putting down somewhere around 575 horses. My bro in law and sister are also dsmers. Me has a 1g gsx putting down around 900 horses. And sister has a rs with turbo. We're not sure how fast it is yet. I live in saint...

It's about the same. Your going to want to tap into the ignition power and maybe the dimmer

Personally if your going to get link just pick up the boost controller and have link control your boost. The 16g turbo is fun but its not uncommon of friends of mine that went with a 16g to want something bigger 6months later. Lol. If it was me with this goal id pick up the FP71hta internally...

I have the JVC KW-AV70BT in mine. I was also worried about glare from a big touch screen. but it has a motorized tilt face and you can swipe on the screen. I did add a anti glare screen protector to it and works flawlessly. bluetooth is lightning fast. connects to my 4s faster then i can back...

I feel your pain man. Im in the process right now of building all new harnesses in my car and doing a big 3 upgrade. I added a 300w mono amp and 7" touch screen 255 pump, and everything dims like shit now. Wiring went to shit. Not surprising in a 15 year old car i guess.
