  1. Dsm cylinder head

    Because I'm finding out more and more that Dsm owners for the most part ghetto rig the shit out of everything. I'm gonna see it a machine shop can weld it shut, and retap it , he drilled it pretty large , like maybe big enough to accept a 10 mm bolt...... When I was first checking out the head I...
  2. Dsm cylinder head

    Ok cool so even though I'll be having the block and head resurfaced I just need to do the oil port mod. Any word on that exhaust stud ? And also I found one of the vc bolts was drilled over and filled with jb weld then helicoiled, wonder if a machine shop could weld it shut and re drill and tap it.
  3. Dsm cylinder head

    Ok I'm a little confused here, do I just need to do the oil port mod? I'm bolting a 6 bolt head to a 6 bolt block. Why would I need to drill the holes larger , if the bolts I'm installing are the normal 12mm 6 bolt headbolts
  4. Dsm cylinder head

    Well I'm running a 6bolt block, so I would still need my bolts drilled over ? I'm a little confused about the oil supply hole the tear drop one, when the head is resurfaced you have to change the size of it to get the same oil flow?
  5. Dsm cylinder head

    Alright will do, I need to see it Snapon stocks a spring compressor when I get back to work so I can dissasemble it all. Also is the pitting and stud ok? The stud looks like it goes in a bit far.....
  6. Dsm cylinder head

    Well they seem to be leaking , would a 5 angle valve job and some lapping on those stock valves be enough to get them to seal? I've never done this before so sorry for the noob questions
  7. Dsm cylinder head

    Hey guys so I've decided to start building a second engine to drop into the talon. I picked up a 6 bolt cylinder head for $200 and it seems to have warpage of around .003 around the firing rings but everywhere else is under .002. Manual says .008 is acceptable but I'm thinking I should still get...
  8. 1990 talon build up

    Sounds good! Just waiting on a few more parts, and I think I may get some dks 272s to complement this setup in the future
  9. 1990 talon build up

    Previous owner smashed it when he was trying to fit this o2 housing in, the sensor would have hit it. I ordered a new one but now I need to get a new o2 housing too. No cooling issues so far but it hasn't been driven much. And goals are around 350-375awhp , quick spool and a nice wide power band.
  10. 1990 talon build up

    New turbo has been a straight up pain in the ass, 2 bolts were broken off in the exhaust side so I had to drill them out, and one of the threads on the downpipe side crumbled when I went to thread a bolt in, so I helicoiled it. Then the head feed pulled the threads out when I put it in. So I...
  11. 1990 talon build up

    Ok I'm gonna update this thread after about a year now , a lot has changed. Started a new job working for a BMW dealer so the mods have been coming in full force since then. Swapped out busted motor mount bushings for pollysI did not take pics of the install of the othersThen I decided...
  12. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    ok so I fixed all the leaks I could get to easily. still waiting on tb shaft seals. also converted to speed density. it seems im still running a little rich in between shifts. otherwise it seems to be driving good to me. I had the dipstick blast out toward the end of my drive, but I believe this...
  13. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    Nah it's a vta valve , with my vrsf piping and the 2g maf/intake there was no way to run a recirc valve, my previously crushed 1g valve didn't act nearly this badly when vented. I got the q instead of the qr because I had eventually planned to run speed density, just these issues pushed it to...
  14. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    I'm already getting a lifetime of knowledge from bmws lol I work at a dealership.these cars are cake to work on comparatively. So I ordered a speed density kit, I'm gonna go that route sooner than expected. Throttle shaft seals, and going through tial to replace my leaking brand new q bov -_-...
  15. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    Well I guess she shall sit till next week then. I'll post up a log when all the boost leaks are fixed
  16. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    I'm running 15psi but I'm not trying to wot tune at this time just get idle and cruise dialed inI'm waiting till the boost leaks are good and no oil leaks to wot tune
  17. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    Ok as for the things to check before here's what I have doneBoost leak tested to 13psi Verified mechanical and ignition timing Compression tested at 150-150-155-155 Checked sensors and wiring Fuel pressure at 37psi with vacuum line disconnected. No vented catch cans or anything like that.Do...
  18. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    I will post a log first thing when I get home, anything in particular you guys what? Cruise? What logged values?Also I've watched all the videos they posted and I feel I have a good grasp of how this works. I've tuned a few mazdaspeed3s on the access port but I've never ran into something as...
  19. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    Well here is the weird part, after starting the car before driving if I idle tune it I can get it to .25 and within .8 combinedft and 14.7 at idle but as soon as I go for a drive it shoots up to around .45 airflow per rev.
  20. ECMlink Ecmlink tuning and other issues

    No unfortunately I do not I'll have to grab one later when I'm home. But as far as tuning goes before installing the tial q, new injector seals and new dipstick i had it idling at 14.7 with an 10.8 at wot and it was pulling nicely but now the afr is all over the place. I'm not sure if it's worth...

  22. 02 sensor HP increase

    Cant tell if your trolling or not, but here it goes. You need to do some serious research before attempting to modify your car from the questions you have asked.Dsmtuners has a very clearly laid out modification guide. Suggest you look for that before spending any money.Electric...
  23. bad torque converter??? video

    You don't take my word ? Haha. The point is the stator which that center piece is attached to is supposed to be locked to the input shaft which will increase vortex flow inside the converter, allowing torque multiplication and thus more power to get the vehicle moving. When cruising speed is...
  24. bad torque converter??? video

    It is only supposed to turn one way, that is correct. The stator is freewheeling, must have damaged the one way clutch. Did u notice it having extremely poor takeoff after the problem? Like it didn't want to move from a stop?
  25. No fuel trim readings?!

    Car is stuck in open loop where fuel trims are not used. Dead o2 could cause this as well as dead ect and a couple other sensors if i remember correctly
  26. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    That's awesome, good luck man. Sounds like a good career path. Let me know if you find out what's wrong with the car.
  27. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Yeah same here, Uti was just a gateway to BMW step for me, Uti doesn't give enough in depth to be able to fix everything on a car like a technician truly needs.
  28. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Oh alright , I'm a Uti graduate, all we had were the modis , solus, and ethos. Tech schools are a great start though
  29. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Where do u go to school that has a verus? I wish my school had those wen I was still in automotive school. Haha
  30. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Oh no man I didn't think u were, just saying trying to point you in the right direction, disregard the fiav comment , wasn't actually sure about it's function, I guess the Isc controls the idle bump you get when at full lock.And yeah I know , my entire rack on my 2011 speed3 is entirely...
  31. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Alright, I'm just using my general knowledge about cars to help you here. I'm not a dsm expert but if that switch is toast then there's definitely a possible source of your issue. That's where I would start.
  32. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Well when you turn the rack to full lock there is an additional load on the engine due to the sharp pressure increase, if the PCM doesn't know that your at full lock the engine will stall on most vehicles. Make sure your connections are all good on electrical sensors. Apparently the power...
  33. 2G Engine stalls when steering wheel at full lock.

    Check the power steering pressure switch. I believe the fiav may play a role in power steering operation as well. How is your base idle?
  34. Cranks then dies, new fuel pump + sending unit.

    What is your fuel pressure at?
  35. Cruise control button mod?

    I suppose you could hook it up to a relay for nitrous or some shit like that.
  36. If you won 100 Million, Would you continue driving your DSM?

    I don't drive mine now because it's broken all the time. I would probably drive it more if I had that much money :D
  37. vacuum lines turbo intercooler ect

    Your car will only be in boost when your accelerating in gear. Reading in/hg at idle is normal.....
  38. 1997 Eclipse Air condition problems

    Also check the blower resistor. Do all speeds not work? Test them
  39. smoking and whistling

    You'll have to use a machinists straight edge and some feeler gauges on the deck surfaces range could be from 300-$1000 depends if block and head need to be machined
  40. smoking and whistling

    Alright well your whistling sound is most definitely a boost leak then. Check all flanges and connections.The hg cost really depends. If it was overheated and the head warped you will need to machine it. Possibly block too. You'll need new head bolts and a gasket. Also think about doing...
  41. smoking and whistling

    Are you running it vta?
  42. smoking and whistling

    Bingo! LolHas the car ever been overheated?
  43. smoking and whistling

    It's coolant , check compression for blown head gasket. Ill put my money on that. You'll wanna deal with that as it's a bigger issue than running rich lol.
  44. smoking and whistling

    Black smoke is from being overly rich. White smoke is from burning coolant. Smell it, does it smell sweet?
  45. smoking and whistling

    So no one noticed he said he has WHITE smoke coming out of the exhaust???How is your coolant level? Do you top it off often?Any check engine lights? Also do a compression test and post results.You can pick up an exhaust dye checker at your local parts store, put it over the radiator with...
  46. smoking and whistling

    What color is the smoke. Also check for boost leaks
  47. HVAC works 1-3, 4 blows fuse

    I would replace the blower resistor, I think it's part of the hvac control head. Also look for a short to ground before the blower.
  48. 97 TSI Automatic clunks into gear

    All cars are different it will between 4.5-4.9v and glad it fixed your problem. I'm always willing to help.
  49. Clogged Catalytic Converter?

    Based off that pattern your cat is dead, it may not be clogged but it's definitely no longer functioning. You should try doing a boost leak test. If your compression and fuel, and timing is fine then that's about all that's left.
  50. 2.4 e316g. 216 hp, 263 tq ???

    What about fuel pressure. How do your wot afr's look?
