Welcome to the dsm family. Not to many people post on this. Seems not to many in socal. But if you do need help with anything you have come to the right place.

I installed a jdm engine on my 98. There's a few extra you need if you do go that route. You'll need a new Ac compressor (I'm looking for one now. And if you want Ac) and you'll also need a cam angel sensor. I'm pretty sure that was the other One.

I live close to the place. And it only 24 hours. And what would they being doing?

Well ended up buying a whole new engine from this place. Gonna have it installed today / tomorrow and hopefully have it by this weekend. Do I need to worry about my Ecuador? Or will it be fine?

Thanks man appreciate it. I'll look into it here and hopefully they have a good deal for it. I'll be checking back in once I get some info on this place

The guy didn't explain to me very well about the sizes. But he claims to have some dsm cars himself. Just picked up Block and he had mentioned that the block had been worked on few times. Info he gave me wasn't very good. So I don't know if I should just find new block ( kind of impossible) or...

So just finished buying car about month ago and was planning to take it tracking. Well...... that's been postponed by a few months maybe. Hopefully weeks. So the previous owner has had the block rebuilt. (Was never told this). I started fixing the basics, lines,fluids, brakes etc. well when I...

I'm hoping to go soon to track. Maybe starting the year. Just found out I might have some Issues with car so just need to get car running first before I can do much. And I will definitely track to get used to car and go from there. And any advice given is greatly appreciated. Especially since...

That's a lot of info!! Well I'm getting car today and found a part I need and not to sure what it is. I replaced the brake booster and brakes suck. The hose is fine. My buddy bypassed it to see what's wrong and it seems the brake booster isn't doing it job. This is part I'm looking for. Anyone...

Ok awesome. Sounds good to me. I'll be looking into that first

For sure I'll be doing checking that out. The place I'm going to is in willow springs. Are making the nostrils just cutting out or do I have to get a special bumper and stuff?

Well the helmet is snell. Shoei just brand of helmet. And not to sure on the type. When I bought it it already had radiator. A mishimoto. But the radiator was warped so I'm guessing it over heated.Never knew what that was for haha just thought it was another things for looks

Well so far I've put in the gates timing and tensioner belt. All fluids have been done and just got a new mishimoto radiator. I bought some wider wheels from by buddy they the evo rims Enkei? And just need to buy new tires. And might be good to track now and get a feel for it. Helmet wise I...

I've done the turbo swap so that part is not to bad. Took about 3 hours because it was my first time doing it and wasn't to sure how to put it together or apart but I did it. The 20g that my first car came with was a god speed. And heard those are garbage. But I guess garret is the way to go...

Since I'm the topic of turbos. Does brand matter if I'm going to a 16g? It seems Manny people stand by garret. Does it make difference?

My first car came with a 20g but ended up switching to 14b to get it running. But the current one I have now started with A 14b but do plan on going to a 16g once i build my car a bit more and need it to get that extra power.

Thanks I really appreciate the help!!!

Main goal is to be able to have some good power when I track http://www.willowspringsraceway.com/page.php?id=30This is the kind of tracking I'm talking about. So I know I need good suspension cooling and breaking. And that means a lot of little things. Not to sure what exactly I need.

This car is more like a weekend car to have fun with and track. And occasionally drive in week. Not sure if that makes sense. And I just bough this car and not many pics yet. It's being worked on now to make sure everything in running condition before I start driving it as daily. So I've...

What's up everyone. Trying to make my 2g into a track car. I know essentials are breaks and cooling. Anything else I need? And what should be done first? It's not a dedicated track car. It will be for those days when buddies get together and just drive. Point in right direction will greatly be...

whats going on guys new to the DSM world again. just got a 98 gst. couple little things here and there that need some work but thats the point of a project car. well to begin i need to do brake booster, rewire hoses in car and do a full fluid flush on the car (break, trans, oil, coolant.) also...

Decided to.swap turbo either way to a 14b. Did compression check.and it was fine. But when u began to take apart hoses there was oil.inside intercooler.pipe. like a.amall.puddle. but no oil.in heads. And only part of hose had oil. (When I bought car the car had A LOT of leaks. )

Ok. Ill check that out today when i get home. And hopefully it's not that bad.

So just checking back and it wasn' the pcv. So decided to get turbo swapped. Going to a 14b. So hopefully that'll fix the problem.

Thanks a lot blackdsmthingy. That was a lot of valuable info. Appreciate it.

What's going on everyone. Just want to say hello to everyone. And introduce myself. I'm from cali and I am.new to the dsm and boosting world. Just finishing buying a 1995 eclipse gst. Got.it for 500 $ and it's a project that became crazy. It's up and running and I have tons of.questions and im...
