I've got forza 5 but I'm away from my xbox till October.

GT: Angrybuttfart I play all types of racing games on Xbox One. Hit me up, will accept any requests when I get back home this October.

I'm curious about the 94 2.3l still got it?

I'm starting my build this fall and if everything goes right hopefully I'll be on the road within a couple months. Out in a village till October but would love to do some cruising. Also if anyone wants to help feel free!! :thumb: I'm going for a 2.3l stroker so we will see how it pans out but...

Yea we only have 91 octane here which sucks!!! But yea I'm still doing my research on everything I want but I know for sure I'm going with a 2.3L stroker. Plus I've got all summer to research as I won't be able to start the build till about mid fall but thanks for the tips and I'll keep...

Love the build!! Your numbers are about what I'm looking to get out of mine when I start my build. I plan on following a similar route to yours with the stroker but no E85 for me. Also its sounds so sick in that vid!!

Been looking like crazy but can't find any solid numbers. If somebody has the dimensions off hand or wouldn't mind measuring one that would be great. I just need overall length and height from bottom lip to bottom lip on openings and same with top lip. I'm trying to make a carbon fiber pipe for...

Are you currently running their tranny? I'm gonna be stuck deciding for a while it seems lol. Just like I'm stuck deciding on parts for my engine.How do you like your stroker? I'm debating on stroking mine but I'm not sure. Eventually I see myself moving down the west coast towards San Fran...

Thanks for the feedback. Gonna be a tough decision lol. So I'm not a transmission expert but if my 2nd gear synchro went out and it grinds shifting, I'm grinding the gear away correct? If so then I should make sure I get a rebuild with new gears huh?Edit: A little off topic but does anybody...

So I called Shep Trans because I didn't see any DSM trans rebuilds on the site and apparently they are only gonna be offering their stage 3 rebuild. So I'm shooting for roughly 400whp and was wondering what trans builder would you guys recommend. I saw Jacks and the guy from Shep suggested TRE...

Got my engine on the stand. Pulled the head off found this. Gonna finish tearing it apart and start my measurements on the block. Probably gonna get a 2g head in the future when I start ordering my parts.

Finally got the my engine out and found out that I do have 6 bolt :hellyeah:. Time to start picking my parts for my 400whp goal. Just pondering the thought of getting some more displacement. I'm sure 400 horse will get old after a while and I'll want more. Eh guess I'll sleep on it.

@WES- I'm gonna pull the whole thing. Probably just rebuild it with parts that I want, I would like to get it to 400whp eventually. And my 2nd gear synchro is shot so I need to get a new tranny. Didn't really think about having something to grab on to but I think I can manage with out. Yea...

Yea well I guess we will see about the engine when I pull it but I believe I have a 1g 7 bolt head. Yea I saw that and I have a feeler guage guess I'll do that myself just waiting on this engine stand to get here. I'm kinda a stand still on my car. I've taken everything off that I can. Gotta go...

Yea I've been doing a ton of reading about everything I can do myself. All I need the machine shop to do is to check to make sure my head isn't warped not that it should be but hey you never know. Fix if necessary and put in some new valve guides and maybe new valve seats and clean it up some. I...

Yes I know lol. I was looking at It last night and wondered why I haven't yet? It's all good though it's not ready to get pulled yet, still waiting on some tools in the mail.What I did today: got the hood off lol, and got my intake manifold off as well.

What's up guys? Well since my timing belt broke I've been recently tearing into my car to get the head off. After tearing into the car I have found a lot of half ass unacceptable work done by previous owner I figured what the hell and just rebuild the engine so I know it's good and seeing as how...

Call or text me as well. I got some misc stuff I need for my 94. 7065804857 will

Tore into my car the past couple days. Got the FMIC out as long as the piping and shame on previous owner had a huge dent in the top of the intercooler. Got the radiator out, turbo, exhaust maniflold, full exhaust off the underside of the car. Gonna take the intake manifold injectors all that...

Sick evo! I can't wait to get my talon back up. I moved to alaska like 2 years ago and I so want in on the autox I always wondered if we had something like that up here.

I see. Well thanks for the help on figuring that out. Though I guess it won't matter for some time due to a valve check and timing belt that needs to be replaced. But I'm in the process of cleaning up my engine bay as well so I just wanted to make sure when I put everything back in I had it all...

Ah, thank you sir. So if I'm to assume correctly the guy was setting the car up for speed density just didnt get a new MAF or can you use the stock one for speed density? Also it was never hooked up to my knowledge, when I took off the piping it was connected to there was no wiring to it just a...

Hey guys thanks for the info! I finally tore into my car today and WOW!! The previous owner did some afro engineering way beyond my acceptable limits. So with that said I've got a list to start on pieces to re do. I saw that if you don't put the proper bolts back on with the oil pan 2 can rub...

It's the air intake temp sensor from what I have seen online. If it's aftermarket I couldnt tell you, it looks like the one pictured below. I believe I'm running the stock MAF (theres a sensor where my air filter goes thats MAF?) I don't think it's set up for speed density. The previous owner...

So I was tearing apart my car today. And found some unpleasant results from the precious owner. But I found the intake temp sensor was not hooked up. So I have hooked my car up to ecm link and saw it was reading a temp for the intake before and yes the temp would change depending on driving...

Well I did do that already I just didn't wanna tug on it try and pull it out if it's not really broke, either way I know I need a new one. I don't know if my engine has a balance shaft delete or not but I'm assuming it doesn't and that belt broke and caused it to get caught in my timing belt and...

@Kegler: Yea I believe the dowel pins are almost facing each other like the timing marks should be if you were installing a belt. Well I guess I get the reassurance of a new head gasket and might as well put some arp studs in. Still hoping for the best though but I guess I'll break down and take...

Honestly I'm not sure. When it broke all I heard was a pop out the exhaust cause it quit firing but no clanking or sounds of destruction. I wasn't sure what had happened when it did break so of course I tried starting my car and heard no sounds of metal on metal or anything, it spins over fine...

Hey guys just wondering if any of my fellow alaskan DSMers have done a timing belt change? If so I would greatly appreciate some help. It will be in the near future hopefully as it just broke yesterday and I have yet to order parts. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but have yet to change a...

Well my timing belt either broke or jumped track yesterday. Haven't had too much time to look at it just been surfing the forums for the changing directions. So I went outside today heart broken I couldn't driver her around and decided to give her a good wash. I just hope my internals are still...

I'll have to check that out I'd like to see what some high octane would do.

Nice! Thanks for the info I just got my evo 3 16g installed the other day and thought my chinese 16g went out cause the shop I took it to also said the same thing. They noted restrictive exhaust flow and when I asked if they checked the cat on it and they told me there is no cat but it's a...

Update: So after removing the down pipe and running the car my boost magically came back. I have a clog somewhere in the exhaust and I'm betting it's the cat. Thanks for the help guys! :D

I got my freshly rebuilt evo 3 16g installed, fresh syntec oil, coolant system flush, just waiting for some rtv to set to see if my boost problem is resolved.:hellyeah:Update: :D Removed my down pipe to see if my exhaust was clogged and causing my turbo to produce no boost. What do you know it...

I've been running though the forums like crazy trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with my car and why it won't build boost. I saw in one post that a person disconnected their down pipe from the O2 housing. Is that safe to do check to see if your exhaust is clogged? I don't want to drive...

Lol I'm probably gonna get a meth kit down the road then but I'm pretty sure it's tuned for the 90 grade. I've never tuned a car and have been trying to read up on what needs to be done.@ AK Maniak: Do you know any shop around the anchorage or valley area that has experience with DSMlink? I...

Hey guys just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is will and this is my first DSM and my first turbo car. I'm originally from Georgia moved to alaska for school. Just picked up my DSM about a week ago and just my luck the turbo gave up and quick making boost.:cry: definitely wanna get more...

Hey guys I'm new to Alaska and new to the dsm community. I've been in alaska for almost 2 years now and the first thing I noticed moving up here was that 90 octane seems to be the highest I can find in anchorage. I used to ride a crotch rocket and wouldn't put anything below 93 in it so I was...

Ah I see thanks for the help, guess I will have to keep shopping.

I put them in order of turbo turbine inlet and then exhaust manifold, followed by the turbine outlet side and my exhaust.

Got my turbo off today. Looking at getting an evo 3 16g replacement but I don't know if I need a stock exhaust manifold or if I can use my aftermarket one. The evo turbo has a split intake to the turbine section where as my old turbo did not. And will the o2 housing bolt up to my aftermarket...

Thanks for the feedback because I was really dodging the cxracing turbo if possible but I was not sure if an evo 16g would mount up ( I assume it would) and I'm currently running 20 psi on my setup and I have supporting mods (I believe) for a bigger turbo. I got 650cc injectors a 255 walboro...

Well it's my dd so I'm probably just gonna get a 16g again but I can't decide if I want a Evo III 16g or a cxracing 16g. Also I don't know what the next step up is :confused: lol.

Update: took it to a shop the said the turbo was shot. They said there was too much resistance in the exhaust system and found more oil in the intercooler piping than normal. They suspect it's on the verge of seizing. Also told me it was a cheap no name eBay turbo so go figure.

I'd be down for some summer meets. Just bought my first dsm got a boost problem at the moment but other than that it runs great. I stay fairly busy right now with school and work but I'd be more than happy to help out anybody out. I have basic general knowledge on cars and engines just new to dsm.

So I finally got a chance to check the wastegate. I can pull the rod backwards and there is strong resistance ( I assume that means it is closed). The actuator off the turbo is flappy though? Is that normal? I read also that your cat can be clogged and not allowing the turbo to spool up, does...

found a small pool of oil on the compressor side of the turbo. maybe i blew a seal?

Hey guys I have 94 talon tsi awd with the 6 bolt engine and a 16g turbo. Just bought the car all the mods were done by previous owner. I was driving today and did a small pull and the car pulled strong and drove normal but afterwards i went to just scoot around another car and its like the turbo...
