Who do you guys recommend I send in a head to for o-ringing service?I plan on running a composite hg so I know SS o-rings are best with a protrusion of .013.Thanks
I opened up my Aeromotive AFPR today and found something interesting. The seat where the ball sits seems to be defective. Would this defect cause the fuel pressure to bleed down immediately after shutting off the car and/or present problems in fuel delivery under boost?Thanks
I have my methanol injection system wired up exactly like the diagram below. I was wondering exactly what modifications I need to make in order to be able to control the system using the dsmlink nitrous controls via the fps solenoid.
My trans shifts great after sitting overnight but after driving around for about 20 minutes it goes into limp mode(only 2nd and 3rd gear) and a CEL comes on. There is also a constant chattering noise coming from the trans that is there whether it is shifting fine or not.Once this happens...
The transmission is making a weird grinding/ "clack" noise while driving and it can be heard more while slowing down. Another weird thing that is happening is the car rolls down a decline while in "Park" as if it is in Neutral. The car shifts fine though without any slipping or anything. Any...
My tranny was built 2 years ago using the IPT overhaul kit. I also bought a re-stalled stocker and everything was working good until recently. I noticed that after a few highways pulls when I would come to a complete stop the transmission would not engage. I would have to rev the motor and it...
What would cause the coolant temps to rise ~20 degrees on deceleration after a 3rd gear pull and then slowly come back down? For example, my coolant temps are 190 throughout the pull but on deceleration the temps rise to 210 before coming back down to 190.
Thank You.
Since installing a wideband in my car I have noticed that my car runs really rich in the 1300-2000hz MAFRaw range no matter how much fuel I take away from the appropiate rpm range. It always stays at 10.0 in that range. The a/f ratio becomes more predictable after that range. What would cause...
Here's my best run from tonight's street night guys. 11.899 @ 115.28 with a 1.671 short time. This was on straight pump gas! stock 7 bolt, automatic, fp3052, enjoy!20080425173937.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I have been trying to tune the car since installing the AEM Uego wideband and have been having some issues. First of all the car goes really rich from about 5k to 6k no matter what adjustments I make to the fuel sliders and I do not know why. After that the wideband just keep readings leaner as...
I recently installed an AEM Uego WBO2 sensor and noticed something odd. With the fuel sliders set to zero the a/f ratio should be around 9.6:1 but instead the gauge is reading ~11:1. The dsmlink estimated a/f ratio is matching the 2g estimates but the gauge is reading way off. I also have the...
I have an IPT re-stalled converter stalled at around 3800rpm and I recently upgraded from a small16g to an FP3052 and since then have had trouble building boost at the line. When the temperature outside is really hot the rpm's won't even go past 2.5k :confused:. Are there any specific tuning...
Before I begin this post I would like to give you guys some background on my car. It is a 1998 Eclipse GS-T with the stock 7 bolt with 73k miles. The car ran very strong and there aren't any signs of a spun bearing or the turbo being bad, etc. No knocking from the motor or abnormal shaft play on...
Just got back from the track and my best run was a 12.383 @ 109.91, 1.668 60ft :D . I was running about 5 gallons of 93 and 5 gallons of 110 octane gas at about 23psi on a Small 16g. I would really love to get 12.0 on this turbo, I've attached the log. Any help would be great. Thank You
Will a torque converter from a 1998 fwd tranny fit a 1995 tranny? I am converting my 1998 automatic GS-T to awd and found a nice 1995 automatic gsx shell but I want to use the high-stall converter from my fwd tranny.
I have a 2g turbo DSM and my oil cooler gasket(the red round o-ring) is leaking so I am going to change it soon. I've read that overtightening the nut can damage the cooler, which will then cause it to start mixing oil and coolant. I am planning on using locktite but was wondering what the...
After installing the Eibach Prokit with Tokico Illumina struts on my 1998 GS-T, I went to get the car aligned and got some funny results with the front Camber. I got -1.0 degrees and -2.2 degrees from left to right respectively. I do not understand why there is such a big difference b/w the two...
I have a fwd dsm and am looking to upgrade my suspension for the summer. I do not have the funds to buy coilovers so I'm looking for a solid shock/spring combo. When it comes to the springs, I am not a very big fan of lowering my car more than .5''. I have already decided to get tokico illuminas...
I just picked up my car up from the transmission shop. they rebuilt the tranny with the ipt overhaul kit, re-worked valve body, and 3800rpm torque converter. When I tried brake boosting the car it wouldn't reach 3800 and would just pull through the brakes at about 2800rpm. I also gradually gave...
I am purchasing a high stall converter from IPT soon and was wondering what stall speed would be best for me. Right now I a running a small 16g but plan on going with a FP3052 or something similar to that such as a green or 50 trim in the future. I was thinking maybe a stall speed of 4k would...
my tranny crapped out on me and I am in the middle of purchasing all the parts I need for a local shop to do the rebuild. So far I am planning on buying the IPT overhaul kit, IPT reworked valve body, and a restalled torque converter. However, I was wondering if there are any more parts I should...
What is the purpose of the little hose that runs from the tranny to the nipple on the dipstick? The dipstick was in the way of my short route intercooler piping and the small hose broke while moving the dipstick around to make room. Is it necessary to have this hose connected?
thank you
My tranny problems began with a 2-3 slip when shifting above about 4k rpm's. The tranny then began getting stuck at stop lights(the rpm's would just rise and the car wouldn't go anywhere). The tranny also goes into nuetral sometimes when it tries to shift into 3rd gear. I then have to pull over...
My tranny is slipping the 2-3 shift when it shifts anywhere after around 3k rpm's. The higher the rpm's, the longer it slips. So when I floor it, the rpm's go past the rev limiter and then it shifts. It is only the 2-3 shift though. I just finished installing a tranny cooler and lost quite a bit...
I recently installed a tranny cooler from ipt where my smic used to be. After installing the temp gauge I noticed that the temps seem a bit high. Just cruising around on a cool night it reaches 180 degrees. If I do a few WOT pulls the temps go past 200 and I stop before the temps keep climbing...
I recently installed a ported small 16g into my 2g DSM. After installing it and taking the car out for a spin I noticed that under wot, the boost goes up to about 14-15 psi and holds it until redline then when the car shifts to 2nd(it's an automatic) the boost goes down to about 10-11 psi and...
ok, i have a few problems. First of all I have a 1998 automatic gs-t with 58k miles on it. My mods are in my profile. Anyways, earlier today I was in my car and talking to my friend so my car was just idling for about 10-15 minutes. I pressed on the gas and a puff of blue smoke came out. It only...
I found a really good deal on an Evo O2 housing and now I need a dp to mate up to it. Is the RRE dp the only one that fits this housing perfectly? I was looking into this dp but it's a bit pricey in my opinion :notgood: . Thanks
I am planning on purchasing a downpipe from RRE. The high-flow cats that RRE sells are too expensive and I was thinking about buying a 3" Catco cat from Summit Racing. Anyways, my question is that if I buy two 3" exhaust flanges and weld them to each side of the Catco cat which is 14" long in...
Which would be a better exhaust setup for an evo III 16g on an auto gs-t? An evo III O2 housing with a RRE 3" dp or an RNR 2.5 O2 elim dp? Which would flow and decrese spool time more? Thank You
I am extremely interested in purchasing an uicp for my 2G DSM from Dave Brode. I have sent him a couple of emails already asking a few questions and he has failed to respond to them :mad: . I really want this UICP and would like to know if he still sells them? In the past, I've heard that he is...
I'm going to buy a mbc and I'm looking at the TurboLogic Manual Boost Controller from www.BoostController.com. I tried running a search for this mbc on this forum but I couldn't find anything useful. Have any of you had any experiences with this mbc before? I'm contiplating buying it but I'm...
Well I put in my boost gauge and I went out on the freeway to see how it worked. When I got on the highway I floored it and I saw that the boost gauge quickly went up to around 15 psi. I quickly got off the gas and didn't get to see if the boost went back down once the rpms kept rising or not...
Today i noticed that while my car is in park and I turn on the air conditioner my lights dim a bit. These lights include the interior lights as well as the headlights. However, the lights only dim a little and is hardly noticeable but they definitely do dim a bit. Is this normal or is it an...
today i was driving and my radio would shut off and turn back on. Then when i turned off my car and tried to turn it back on it wouldnt. But after a couple of tries it turned back on but the rpm's would go really low and the car would feel like it was going to die but it never did. I think that...
I have a 1998 gs-t auto. The only mods i have so far is an injen intake and an N1 catback. I wanted to kno what you guys think i would run in the 1/4 mile since i dont live very close to any and it'll probably be a while since i go to a track. Remember guys, i have a fwd AND and Auto. thanks :cry:
hey, I have a 1998 gs-t auto. The only mod i've done so far is an injen intake system. I know that if i end up upgrading the turbo, ill probably buy the Big T-28 Killer. Anyways, i am going to but a catback now and i dont know what to do. I either want a greddy evo catback (because its extremely...
hey,
Do any of you guys know where i can find a greddy catback system for my 1998 gs-t for cheap. I am tight on cash and want to spend the least amount possible. thanks :thumb:
i really want an Apexi N1 catback exhaust. Im really tight on cash so i need to kno where is the cheapest place to get one. I have a 1998 GS-T by the way. Thanks :thumb:
I want to get an intake system fot my 98 gs-t and i dont know which one to get. i want either the injen, the K&N with a dejon tool pipe, or the extremepsi intake system. somebody help me decide ...... thanks :(
will running a 3" exhaust with a small turbo such as t-25, t-28, 16g cause boost creep? I read in another website that too big of an exhaust for turbos with stock size wastegates can cause boost creep.:confused:
do any of you guys know why an upgraded valve body would help me since im an automatic? people keep tellig me to get an upgraded valve body because it would help my automatic, but i dont know what it is, what it does, or even where to get one. can somebody please help. :confused:
