I've been debating back and forth on which turbo I upgrade to (car came with an evo3 16g, but I just sold that). I purchased my third 1G last August. I've been out of the DSM game for about 10 years now. I'm older and wiser on how and what I want to spend my money on (or at least I think so...

Hello,I was taking my electric fans out and completely broke the lower radiator temperature sensor on the passenger side. I appears that I broke off the prongs, and messed up the factory harness that clips into the sensor. I'm having a difficult time finding the sensor, let alone a replacement...

Hello All,Just acquired a 1990 TSi. I've owned 2 other DSMs before this one. As I am older, I'll be taking this car much more seriously, as they are getting more rare and are becoming, arguably, more important (to me at least). The car is basically stock, stock injectors, FP Manifold, stock...

This is the Build Thread for Mike's 1990 Tri-ToneTSi. Reply below.

So I put on brand new PTE 1200's. I used Vasoline to installed the injectors in the fuel rail. Every month or so I have one injector that springs a fuel leak on the fuel rail side. I pull the rail off and pull the injector, its always looks like the o-ring is trashed, but they were new when I...

I AM NOT A TUNER :D Now that being said I can build the car mechanically but not much of a tuner at all. Ricky tuned my car on pump 91 because thats all I have avaliable. So as it gets warmer and the intercooler is heat soaked I do get some knock. So the question is if I add a gal of race fuel...

Didn't know what everyone thought. Stock bottom end 1G, 272's, HX40 .70 a/r, 30psi, went 11.64 @124mph. I am pleased, but my 60' are all over the place. Didn't know if that was good or not. Street tires as well! :hellyeah:

I am changing my head gasket and was trying to identify the piston and if I have a standard bore or has it been bored. From what I'm reading these are 2G pistons standard bore, I just used my micrometer to measure the bore. I didn't use a bore measuring tool. This is in my 92 1G. Any help would...

I smoked my head gasket the other day (hit 40psi on accident, opps!), I know the head has been on the car for a while and its stock. So I called the local head shop and they want $600 for a valve job and resurfacing, the basics to put the head back into shape. I'm like OMG, so I started calling...

Can I get your help on this I'm so sick and tired of fighting this BS! I've gone through (2) turbo flange T3 gaskets. First one was a ebay stainless steel mesh deal, it blew, then I bought a .050" thick SS one from Extreme PSI and its not sealing. I have a brand new T3 .70 ar and new ERL...

I just changed my turbo setup from a BEP .55 HX35 to a BEP .70 HX40 with a new manifold and 3" Vband downpipe but I changed nothing else. Now I have to crank it over and over before it will start. Or I have to key it 3-4 times then it will start. Why is this happening, it started perfectly...

I put on my new ERL manifold and one of the studs just kept on spinning, and spinning and spinning. What is the best was to repair the threaded hole in the head to fix this issue?

This is driving me nuts. I just welded up a new 3" downpipe V-Band to my HX40 .70ar BEP housing. I bought a new ERL cast T3 manifold put everything together and I have a slight sound of an exhaust leak. Now I didnt' think this was a bid deal at the time, when I bolted the manifold up to the head...

So I installed the IR BCS from Link but the solenoid still isn't working. I did a battery test and the solenoid works. I checked continuity of the ecu wire into the engine bay, its good. So can I only assume since the ECU isn't tripping the ground signal that I have a bad driver? I went to the...

I'm trying to install the DSMLink's IR BCS, so I found the plug in the picture that looks like it went to the factory BCS (when I bought the car the BCS didn't exist), so I hooked it up and it wasn't working. So I look at the color coded ECU pinout and the wire I used was Blue with yellow tracer...

So I read a previous post on a guy who installed the IR solenoid to control it by Link for EBC function. So I tested all my stuff and I'm getting nothing from the ecu to the solenoid. I did the "Misc" tab to cycle the sensor and nothing, the solenoid is new I tested it, so I know it works. So...

Okay I've read on here several time on why 3rd gear grinds only. It could be the shifting linkage, it could be the adjustment in the cables. Maybe I need to rebuild the clutch pedal assy etc... The question on mine is how do you tell if you have a tranny issue (bad syncro or whatever) or setup...

I just took out my HKS 264's and installed my 272's. Watching videos on YouTube the HKS 272's sounded lopey. Not super aggressive but had a lopey idle/sound to them. I just installed mine, started it up, set the base timing and it doesn't lope a whole lot. Maybe a pinch more than my 264's but if...

So I bought my car a month ago or so. It did not have a coolant overflow tank. So after driving it around for a while it almost overheated cuze is spit all the water out of the radiator. So I bought a nice aluminum overflow tank with the capability of returning the water back into the system...

I bought my 92 GSX and it has HKS 264s in the car. The car already has adjustable cam gears and I assume they have been degreed. Question is, when I go to the 272s, can I just bolt them in or will i have to degree them?

My old ISC went bad so I bought a used one for my 92 GSX online. The ad said it was ohming out correctly. I got it in the mail today and its ohming between 41-42 does this mean its bad or the wrong one?

I have that notorious tick! Where can I pick up a set? Not the Topline stuff either. I want the legit one's, can be used but don't want to break the bank if you know what I mean.

I live in Wichita so willing to travel if needs be. Thanks Guys/Gals :hellyeah:

Just looking to buy a 1G soon. I know KC is a big area and I'm willing to travel. Let me know if you have a solid DSM for sale or know of any if you would I am in Wichita. Thanks Guys/Gals! :hellyeah:

I did a search couldn't find anything. Reading this alot for the Holset Turbo line just curious.

Okay so I've been on this forums for a couple of months now, I've owned a 92 back in the day and been kicking myself everyday since for selling it:(. So I've been researching and reaserching on this site exactly what car to build and which car to buy. I figured I would get a 92 since it was the...

Does anyone have RTM exhaust? The price looks good from the downpipe back, but I couldn't find any sound clips online.

What are the best, most comfortable and priced reasonable aftermarket seats for our cars?

?????????? Whats the max?

Anyone have this turbo? It looks like a small upgrade to the EVO 16g, anyone running E85 to this setup? Spool times? Thoughts?Nobody owns this turbo?

What is the max hp we can get out of our stock fuel lines running E85 with a Walbro 255hp pump?

Been reading several posts about the EVO 3 16g as probably the most popular upgrade from our stock turbo unless we are going crazy. Good/decent power with good spool times. So the question is, besides the EVO3 turbo what is a comparable turbo for the price? FP 68H?

So I know this has been debated a ton on this website, and I've read a ton of posts. But just food for thought. SD seems to be a little more involved and more time consuming to tune in just right. So the alternative to this is for me to upgrade my MAF to an EVO8 lets say, which should be easier...

I'm looking at tuning programs for my future DSM build, question is where can I get a decent priced EVO8 MAF meter??

I am currently looking at purchasing a decent 92 AWD car. I've been reading about the v3 ECMlink tuning software, I can't wait to build a nice car and start tuning. :hellyeah:Thank you again to all of the support member on this forum and all of the members who are willing to pass along your...

What are the pro's & con's of the 1G Vs 2G's? Which should I buy to build. I would like a reliable driver, not everyday, running mid-high 11's.
