Here’s a very poorly put together/cringy video that I made to show the easiest way that I’ve found to pull/install a trans:I can have a trans out in 30 minutes by myself thanks to this methodNow go break some stuff!

Looking for a 1G AWD Trans.714-732-7966

Hello I'm new to tuning V3 so for now I've just been tuning it like you would in V2 using the sliders. Yes I will be using the tables when I resolve this issue. Basically its been leaning itself out at around 1900Hz and only getting worse and worse. Ive tuned around it so that it can progress to...

So I got a weird one. I searched and all I could find was this with no resolution:http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/welded-center-diff-now-hard-to-move-car-forward.328139/Pretty much same thing as this guy.I had a 5 speed 90 trans with 23 spline t case and 4 bolt rear. The only change I...

Anyone have any clue where these 2 go?

This diff has never been run in a trans. Plans changed and now this has no use for me. It's really a beautiful piece. Tim did a great job. Asking $140

Anyone know what's going on with Tim Zimmer @twicks69 ?Dudes been super awesome and helpful in the past and suddenly fell if the map. I get he's building a shop and that takes a lot of time but it's over 2 weeks now without a response to email or PM. Never answers the phone either. He's had my...

I have a good 22 spline tcase I don't need anymore since I'm all 23 spline.I have 2 parts transmissions one appears to be a late 91 and the other a 92-94. Both are 23 spline, both have good viscous couplers.Splines on everything are in great shape.$100 for tcase or trans $250 takes all...

Selling my real APEXi N1 cat back exhaust system. It's 2-1/2 inch to a 4 inch tip. This exhaust gives a nice throaty deep growl. But you already knew that. Comes with new gaskets and all hardware including hangers and bolts to make it as simple an install as possible. Fits all 1G AWD DSMs...

So last night while doing pulls I thought I heard a bit of whining but wasn't sure. After just driving around regularly the rest of the night it started getting louder and louder. At this point I was concerned so I was babying it. It now sounds like the infamous "supercharger" whine but only if...

What's going on guys So I just upgraded to V3 and It idled ok for like 2 minuets and then just died. Started again and just dies. Also, when it goes into this condition it takes FOREVER to crank, we're talking 4-6 seconds. So I loaded my V2 tune as closely as possible and it helped but it seems...

So the Talon has been sitting for close to 3 months now :( but I'm getting ready to start it back up here pretty soon. Any suggestions on what steps to take to ensure that startup goes smoothly?

After a conversation with ZF SACHS I decided to go with these: http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=142045902317I could not be happier with them! The hood lifts on it own and lifts the hood a good 3" higher than the stick can. They are perfect for 1Gs. This was installed on my 90 talon. I had to weld...

So I made an idiotic mistake in a rush and pulled the belt off before I set all the timing marks. Anyways everything's all messed up and the crank doesn't match up with the cams. Here is how everything sits:Any ideas on how to proceed?

I just put a new bushing in the pedal assembly and not it doesn't come up all the way to the pedal stop. Did I put the spring on the wrong way or something stupid? The master isn't bolted up or anything the assembly is just sitting there in the correct position. It doesn't do this outside the...

So I BLT'd the car and it got to like 29psi and blew the coupler off but then there was a ton of oil in the turbo inlet. It has never done this before. Now every time I test I get oil. The weird thing is it will smoke on startup but when the oil is burnt of, no more smoke even in boost at 25psi...

http://www.vpracingfuels.com/index.html?Action=Commerce.Product&ID=29421785Discuss.Its supposedly better than Torco. I'll do a very scientific test of throwing a can in my car which is untuned and crank the boost up and see what happens. I'll do 10gal of 91oct + a bottle of that when I get...

So I'm curious about you guys who have been tracking your car. How many passes do you currently have or how many passes do you normally get before you: Break the trans Break the tcase Break the Rear diff Wear the clutch out etcI searched and found nothing of the sort. This would be good info...

1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks? Boost leak tested 5psi above your max boost with no leaks?Yes2). Verified mechanical timing?Yes3). Verified base timing?Yes4). Ignition system COP or Stock Coil: Stock Wire brand and Age: Spark Plug brand, type and Gap: BPR7ES .0285). Motor...

Hi everyone. I am looking for a schematic for the AEM UEGO Digital Wideband gauge. The output to the ECM is faulty and I need to fix it so I can have the car tuned.I verified this all with a multimeter to confirm that link is logging RawVolts correctly and it is. The issue with the gauge is...

So I was messing around with the ALS on V2 the other day to get acquainted with it better and to just see how it all worked together and I set the RPM launch limit at 4750 and under the ALS tab I set "use with launch RPM" to 3250 and I noticed I could build 20psi before I even hit the limiter...

Hello all, this one has me stumped. I'm running an internally gated TD06 FP 20G with an HX-35 actuator which I bench tested to open at about 20 psi. I am dumping to atmosphere so it is obvious when the wastegate cracks. At half throttle, it opens at 5-9 psi and seems to crack open at 4k RPM...

Another Problem!?!?! This ones a bit serious. When I go into a left handed turn with anything above a low speed, when i turn the wheel the car almost goes straight on, like when you start hydroplaning then suddenly jerks left. i also get a weird sound coming from the front right of the car like...

So I went for my first drive in a couple months after getting the car back together. T-belt job new valves and gaskets the whole deal. There is a weird noise which sounds like its coming from near the battery or fuel rail inlet area. You can duplicate the sound by rubbing hard plastic or a sharp...

Hello everyone,The valves bent from the T-belt breaking and so I had the head off. I Have 3G lifters I cleaned with diesel prior to installation. They were not pumped up and I oiled them up when I installed them. They seem to be ticking quite badly. The idiot oil light is screaming at me as...

Hi everyone. I want to use this rod end bearing as the end of my shifter cables (cabin side of firewall), however the hole is 6mm and it needs to be 8mm. Any ideas on how to disassemble and drill or any other ideas in general?

I was just about finish installing the manifold when the upper leftmost stud decided it wanted to eat the threads in the head (@<22ft/lbs). So it stripped and using a longer bolt didn't work either. I can't afford to pull the head again which leads me to my question....... As long as I drill tap...

A lot of people have complained about not being able to upload photos due to the error they get about the photo being "too large for the server to process". Here's how you fix that using microsoft paint.1. Import photos and put them on your Desktop in the order you want to upload them (this...

Recently, @Ludachris was asking for more Tech Articles/Write-Ups. This page is for suggestions that the community would like to see. So if you would like to see a Tech Article/Write-Up or Review of a new product, post it here! Others as well as myself would like to make that happen.Happy...

So after experimenting with a few different methods, I've come up with the best method to straighten even the worst of bent fins. I am doing this on a radiator but the concept is the same for an intercooler. It involves a small screwdriver and a pain if thin flat nosed tweezers pictured here...

So in an endeavor to learn what was going on with the car, I have some questions about the turbo system. So my turbo is internally gated and vents to atmosphere off the O2 housing. Its obvious when it opens because it gets much louder. I had a Holset HX-35 actuator on it and bench testing it...

I like how these look but idk what to have them say. I'd be getting them from tirestickers.com and they have a create your own decal page. They said I could put a logo in if I so please. Was thinking maybe one side DSM and the opposite side of the tire say 4G63T or EAGLE and then TALON idk throw...

I'm not quite sure where to post this as I didn't see a "fuel system tech" page but anyways, What do we think of this?:I wonder if this would do squat for us.....:hmm:

So I had some shift cables in there that broke. As far as I can tell, they were 90 cables (going by the fact that there were adjustment nuts on both cables). I got a used set from Miller Import Parts and when I went to put them in, when they are seated in the right spot, the cable that sticks...

Hi everyone. Short version: I went to go port my wastegate due to a boost creep problem and turns out it's been ported already. They did a terrible job and it has some of the worst cracks I've seen (I'll post some pics tomorrow). The turbo is an FP TD06 20G (from what I can tell). Anyways I'm...

What's up tuners! So this has been an ongoing issue since I purchased the car almost a year ago but it's really starting to concern me so I decided to look more into it. There is a clunking, rotary sound (you can hear it's with something turning or spinning) whenever I make a left hand turn...

Hello everyone. I was told these are HKS 272's on both sides but "HKS" is not stamped anywhere on them. From what I have read I believe they may be BC cams? Any input is much appreciated to find out what these really are. Additionally, does the paint have any significance? There was green...

Whaaats up DSMers. I have a Photoshop request if any of you are interested in a little challenge. I really like the look of the S13 silvia/240sx coupe lights on the 1Ga. However, the S14 Silvia lights are more aggressive and I would love to see what they look like on a white 1Ga. This will of...

Hey guys! So I broke my old shift cables and installed some other ones that I got used. This is on a 90 AWD. The side to side fits perfectly, however the fore and aft is still too long even when adjusted all the way in; or the shortest I am able to adjust it to be. It's off by a good inch or so...

I took out my radiator and FMIC to clean them up a bit and when I put them back, and started the car, there is a consistent misfire at any RPM. AFRs are 10-10.2 as well. I made sure all connectors were solidly plugged in but then I found this little guy which I had never seen before. I'm not...

Note: This was done on a 1G. Being unfamiliar with 2G's, I am unable to 100% confirm that this will work on them, though it probably would. That is something you must determine yourself. I had a problem with sucking in hot air from the engine bay, so I decided to put to use the DSM spirit do...

Anyone from those areas? I know there's someone on lambert near beach blvd with a black 90 talon tsi awd but he/she is rarely there when I drive by on my way home (It's on the way, not a stalker haha).

I have a greddy type s rep bov with strengthened diaphragm. After searching, I believe I need to run a vacuum hose from the bottom nipple located in the middle of the bov to the nipple located above runner #2. Am I correct?

so I have been reading up on compressor surge and am getting nervous that my car has it. I have a recirculated BOV and this happens every time I let off the throttle above 0 psi.... The more boost the louder the sound. Is this compressor surge or something else. Sorry about the wind noise! Oh...

Hello everyone I have a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD and heres the isuue. The MPI control relay is good because when i ground the control pin from the ecm/MPI control unit (wht-red wire) the fuel pump turns on and runs fine. Can a failed (oil pressure?) sensor prevent the fuel pump from running...

Hello everyone!! First I'd like to say I'm a newbie to the world of DSM but I have some experience modding other cars. Currently I'm looking to built a 6 bolt 1992 talon tsi AWD to around 400whp on CA pump gas..... But before you all get on me about how this has been posted 157,000 times already...
