if you bov was bad then you did a shit boost leak test man. testing by putting a tester on the front of the turbo and pump it up 4 psi more then you are running not pump it up to 4 or 5 psi..
if you are getting the psi that u usually get on the guage and you are running rich. Maybe your tune or ecmlink messed up. If you are getting to much fuel and you have a stock fuel pressure reg it could of went bad and you are just pushing more fuel. A easy way to check is take the vacuum...
Has anyone dealt with these guys on anything and are they good. I am looking for a transmission and wondering if it is worth while to deal with them. Thanks for the input guys.
Ok guys want your advice for going either Megasquirt or Eculink? I know more about eculink but was just thrown a wrench by someone saying megasquirt is better because of speed density. I would like some more info from people here. Thanks guys
I agree on the dsmlink i am really looking for good places to buy them for a deal. Much of these vendors though i understand they need to make money are ripping people off. Asking 100-200 more then if u look up the same part on amazon or other buying sites.Turbo has a .56 or .58 trim i think...
Well guys I got back to the states and picked up my GSX that I bought from a guy while over seas. Needless to says nothing like he said. Has stock injectors with a 18g full front mount and other bolt on stuff. I have had the worst time trying to get it streetable. 3 motor mounts, master and...
Oh trust me these cops in the world are stupid enough to think its illegal. I have a better one. I was down at the beach one day and let my HKS bov go off in front of people when i was driving. 10 secs later i was pulled over for spinning my tires thats right spinning my tires. I even show...
Plugs and wires and maybe check your fuel pressure if your car is overloading fuel at the rpm cause the bog down. what management system are u using and check if u can lean out a little at those rpms
you should get some black wrap for halloween and make a jackolantern out of the hood. Really would be funny and cool at the same time.Btw wrapping a daily driver and full color is easy. Plastic dip is another option too. I know i am gonna plastic dip mine when i get back flat black.
I am moving back to Charlotte NC for a few months and bringing my 97 gsx with me. Would love someone with more knowledge then me and wrench time to help do some things if interested. I would pay if its worth it of course. Also gonna be looking for 6 bolt bottom end built up along with dsm link...
Ya I have to say i am an old school fan of race fuel on drag day and pump gas on normal days. If you go on a road trip and run into a town with no e-85 you are screwed. V3 dsmlink is a must and speed or gm maf is good. Anything 3" is gonna be better then stock shit.
I second 3rd and what ever about a vacuum line. Intake is not gonna need a tune but when something is installed incorrectly now that can cause a problem.
if i was you go for around 400. Trust me 600 seems great but SO much trouble happens with that much power.400 you might break axles and small shit. 600 you start to worry about the engine internals new or not. I don't care if you have brand new shit you put down 600 i have seen rods thrown less...
hmmm I am listening to it kinda sounds like a little fuel issue. you really could need a tune or just have something wrong somewhere
unfortunately a lot of trial and error now. Unless there is a engine code going off cus it also sound like its hitting a rev limit.
maybe fuel cut. if u have a way to check your fuel pressure i would do that. I dont know the exact psi but google it i am sure someone posted something on it. possible with the new 255 u picked up shit in the tank and caused a clog some where. Check fuel filter if it hasnt been replaced could be...
Did you check what kind of plugs are in it. I would just replace them all along with the wires. Plus u might as well do a compression test if u can. I think also that cam sensor can sometimes go bad and cause the problem also i would look it up. A new coil pack is always a cheap thing to do...
TMZ wants 2650 for a diff that is stronger then stock i will pass. I can get a rebuild of all new stuff and put this diff in for less then 2k. Over inflated prices on their part.
Well if 4000 is your number. Buy a good put together engine 1g bottom end 2 g head. 1g intake 2g throttle body. as for internals cams 272/262 are good and most people do decent amount of work to heads so you should be able to pick one up with all that done already. 6 bolt with 2g pistons and...
My advice if it was free sell it and go GSX. I had a gst and yes it had its fun days but all and all I never could keep up with a GSX with the approx same mods. 1 the transmission is geared better and 2 the traction of an GSX is retarded. I had to spend shit tons of money just to get my GST to...
Well if you are gonna do the engine you mine as well swap to a 6 bolt. You can probably buy one off someone in the forums already built for a decent price. I believe a guy is selling one in washington for 500 not a bad price with build rods and pistons. The real question you have ask is how...
Now i had a big t3/t4 on mine. I remember we retarded the timing alittle. I also had a MSD for spark. Have you checked if your car is running really rich also. That can impair the spool. I really would spend the money and take it to a dyno shop who can tune it.holy crap you are running 500's...
I am gonna ask again have you physically tried to spin the turbo. If it feels like it is under restriction most likely you have a bad turbo and it was put together wrong. You can do this by the exhaust or intake which is much easier. Spin by hand and compare it to another turbo you have like...
ahh uk that kinda makes sense...if you got it cheap. but the way i look at it is you can get a 6 bolt for 500 us bare pretty easy and rebuilt it with a shit ton of mods for about the same money as u buy a evo engine alone
nice...i had a tv fixed into mine last time i guess i could fiberglass a gauge pod in. I was wondering if someone already sold it premade. Btw the suede dash looks amazing!!
lol no i really mean I wish I didnt have to pay rent, utilities, cable, college loans and etc I would have a ton of money to spend. But ya he is doing pretty good for his age. I remember rebuilding my first vette with my father at 13 reminds me of that.
Its hard to walk away from them. SO much power for little money. Really there isnt another engine out there for its size to put as much power down for so little.
you wouldnt believe i just got it for 4k.My last car the one in the pick to the right was strip down to nothing and all the parts put on another car. Well they got the other car and held on to it while they were tracking this guy. He ended up fleeing the country. At the time including the...
I think as soon as i get it i will get a 6 bolt and 2g head with magnus intake. prob just go to town on it. Does anyone know how to tell if it has an LSD rear. I am familiar with the GST but as much as the gsx
Just got myself a 97 GSX. Cant wait to get back to the states to start work on her. I have a ton of parts left over from the last person who stole my gst and they are in a fbi holding. Should be fun making this thing go fast but here is what she looks like.
If you are spinning second i would also recommend looking into better tires. Nitto NT-555r is a good series for hooking up. Suspension also will be very important. But as a warning if there is no transmission work and its stock my biggest and first upgrade with money would be to rebuild the...
yup i actually previously said some things he needs to do before he gets anything else like a wideband and dsmlink. But during post he said there goes my extra turbo money and i was giving him a for instance of how much a turbo would cost after. You are kinda like the pot calling the kettle...
not spreading misinformation...he talked about wanting more power and i am pretty sure most t3/t4 exhaust housing come in 3" inlet and produce way more horse power then a 16g will. considering i had one on mine. it was pushing about 420 hp and yes you have to do trans with a diff upgrade but...
ya ya but put a .56 trim in one and no t25 is gonna keep up and T3 pretty sure stands for 3inch inlet and 4 inch out btw so its much bigger then t25 and 16 which i believe are 2.5"
t3/t4 is bigger then a 16g so it can push more air. and your boost controller should be loosened or tighten to make more boost. If you have never done it before i would recommend going to youtube and there is prob a how to video.
