  1. Selling the project car - 91 GSX

    This is for a 1991 eclipse GSX project car. The car does start and idle, but at 4000rpm as there is no tune on the EMS. Obviously it cannot be driven off the property, as there is no tune. This car was a project car, and has sat for several years. We did verify it starts and runs. The interior...
  2. 91 GSX UICP Question

    I'll go ahead and say stock setup. The car isn't currently at my apartment, so I'll ask for a photo to post. Might take a day.
  3. 91 GSX UICP Question

    Hey guys, been several years since I've been on here. I've still got my 91 GSX. Sadly, it was at a shop that decided to close over night and a lot of small pieces were stolen off the car. After several years of sitting, it's time to bring the car back to life.My primary concern right now is...
  4. Weird electrical problems. (long)

    Ok, this is gonna be kinda long, but here we go :)I recently installed a boost and A/F Gauge in my 91 Talon TSi. I had some slight problems with running the wires for the gauges lights. I tried connecting it to the fuses in the fuse box on the interior driver side, but that didn't end up...
  5. FLASH: Posting and You.

    This should so be a sticky in the General, if not all forums.http://projectboil.pixel10.co.uk/posting/Posting.html
  6. How to do my own Porting?

    What tools are required, processes, etc etc to port your own head/02 housing/turbo/exhaust manifold? I wanna port mine, but I'd rather not ship the parts off or pay huge labor for local shops to do it. I'm sure I can come across the tools needed, I'm just not very knowledgable of how to...
  7. Car cover for 91 TSi?

    Does anybody know where to find any? Do they even make them? Because the antenna on the TSI stays up all the time....so obviously it'd be a bit harder than normal to get on, but the tree sap and debre from sitting under trees is starting to piss me off.
  8. Spark Plug Covered In Oil?

    I pulled my #4 spark plug out today to replace it with and the wires with NGK plugs, and Access wires. I think it's the #4 piston anyways, it's the one closest to the cam gears on a 420A engine. Anyways, when I pulled out the wire, it had oil running down the side from about the half way point...
  9. Stock boost on 97 GST?

    My friend has a GST...and he peaks at 7 PSI stock. Is this supposed to be only 7 psi? I thought it was 14 psi and 15 psi is fuel cut? Could his guage be wrong? Would a boost controller increase his boost level?
  10. RNR racing 3 inch turbo back 2g awd Completley different than last time.

    As far as I know, those hangers are wrong. All the 2g's I've been under have used the stretchy rubber piece, that simply slides onto an existing prong. Much like those prongs on the rear section of the piping, near the muffler. There is also only one prong, not two. The muffler piping also...
  11. dsm link or aem ems

    I have had no experience with a DSM-Link, but others in this area have one and say they'd of chosen the EMS if they had the money. I have an AEM EMS, with the AEM wideband and an EMS Boost controller. It's insane, really. You need to play around with the EMS a LOT more than the Link. It's more...
  12. How often does our water pumps leak?

    Well, I built a motor. We'll just say it's quick. I finally get the EMS tuned, get it back, but it's been having a ton of coolant problems. I have a Fluidyne radiator, a stock fan, and a slim fan on the compressor side for a/c. A LOT of my lines have been blowing, cracking, splitting, etc...
  13. shep tranny grinding?

    Even if it is a part in the tranny itself, call and talk to Shep. I sent my rebuild back once it started grinding (my fault) He just looked it over, replaced the necessary pieces, and charged me for the pieces. No biggie to me. I'm sure he'd do the same, call him, he'll take it back break it...
  14. Concept Illusions Stage 3 Rebuild Kit

    Take your time. Don't measure with plastigauge, check and double check all your measurements and builds. Good luck. I hope to get my N/A a little extra power sometime soon.
  15. 18's? Air suspension?

    Yopu can weld bags in, but it's almost redundant since they make cylinders and brackets especially for our cars.It's hard as hell to get our cars to lay body, the rear wheel well sucks and will need to be cut to get it to lay. You'll sit on joints in the front end..etc etc.I have...
  16. Glowing red. [Merged 1-7] Exhaust, turbo, glow, hot

    I onced dicked around with a friends prelude out on a highway stretch for about 20 miles. Did a couple pulls and cruising. When I pulled, my mani was a bright orange. Only happened that once to me though.
  17. please read...everyone JACKSTANDS!

    I was working on my N/A a while back when I was 16 as well. I was up top doing something in the bay, while a friend was under it from the side. My jackpoint on the crossmember decided to slip, and the car dropped onto the jack stands. Boy did it scare the shit out of both of us. He had to go...
  18. CRX of DEATH

    So far I don't think he cares.He still drives it around. Drove it to school, all the graduation week random practice things for random events. Takes it everywhere.Supposed to be running 7's in the 1/8th with it. He was helped by a local shop who also hates me. Misunderstood a comment...
  19. CRX of DEATH

    Yeah. I know the kid personally, post on racingpensacola since it's local, and go (or went, graduated friday) to school with the guy.Can't say anything good about him. Mostly a cocky asshole.
  20. thoes with JL Audio w7 subs

    The 12" model is almost 1000 even. The 15" model is about 12-1300. I stuck with a single 12 for now, and plan on adding another eventually.For amps, JL makes the best quality amp. Although their price is a dollar per watt, a JL amp with a JL sub results with the cleanest and best sounding...
  21. broke turbo manifold bolt- HELP!

    SBR.com sells replacement bolts. Easy outs work too. Drill the bolt slightly, put the piece in, and then back it out.
  22. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    I understand. But it's also going to have to hold for another 230 miles before it gets replaced. It seems fine driving casually, since I can't boost or go over 4K right now anyways, so it sees nothing but vacuum to begin with. Looks like the car's going to have one last good shop time. HG...
  23. Removing the Bellhousing?

    Agreed with the above post.vfaq.com has some for DSM tranny's, walk throughts on breaking them down, but I don't know if that applies to Evo's. You'll have to start at the very rear of the tranny, taking each piece off slowly, and taking all inside bolts and gear selectors/levers/etc apart...
  24. Destin DSM Meet April 1st

    Well man, you know the area code for this area. My cell # is 240-8483, name is Brian. If you have any questions, gimme a call, as I'll be in Destin the rest of the week and prolly won't be on to read anybody's comments/questions until the meet. Just let me know you're from PC, on tuners, and...
  25. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    Yes, both the head and the block were decked and surfaced. I wouldn't think a triple thick metal gasket would have a problem being reused, but it's a waste of money to have it on there for a whole 3 miles, then pay $90 for another one. That's some bullshit. Hopefully it won't resort to that...
  26. Stopping BOV whistle under Vac

    Well, whenever I hit about -20 vac, my BOV lets out a very very nice whistle. This is on a stock 1g BOV. Would crushing it solve the problem?
  27. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    Well, I am running 950's...There was no knock either though, or at least none I could hear :)
  28. Destin DSM Meet April 1st

    Spread the word in PC.
  29. EMS Idle Map and BISS

    I use the AEM EMS, which has it's own idle map. I'm trying to make the idle a little more perfect, would adjusting the BISS affect anything if the EMS is totally controlling via injectors and such?
  30. Destin DSM Meet April 1st

    At last. Someone has interest in this on tuners. I've gotten quite a few responses on racingpensacola.com and there seems to be a pretty decent turn out.I never knew you existed in PC, either. Or else I woulda been down there trying to get you our way. Hopefully if everything goes...
  31. 20 g exh housing on 14b?

    Wouldn't it need to be rebalanced?
  32. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    No white smoke at all other than that. I'm using a cometic head gasket. No cat, 3" turbo back from the actual turbo outlet (meaning 3" o2 housing also). The head gasket is a 3 layer metal one. I've reused it. It was on the car, it got driven 2-3 miles, then the head came back off, went...
  33. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    Most of the shops around here advised me to keep it under 4k and off boost for the first 500 miles, to make sure it seats right. I've heard so many different ways of "breaking it in" But needless, I still have a giant white cloud of smoke.
  34. First white cloud on break in. Good or bad?

    Well, I had babied the car for the first 250 miles over the past month, still got another 250 to go. I decided to try and give it a pull, and hit 17 psi for the first time on this setup today. MBC is set for 19 from the previous motor/turbo. This setup hadnt seen over the accidently 5 psi...
  35. Does this sound like rod knock?

    It's defintely not in your motor. Notice how every so often it's louder, almost in a pattern. Well, rod knock would be a lot louder than that, and would increase with rev's. It would also hold a constant sound pattern, not low then high low then high, etc.
  36. Destin DSM Meet April 1st

    Well, I'm trying to see how this turns out. If it turns out decent, I'll go for something bigger. I had debated on trying to do a DSM group/club/team for the gulf coast/emerald coast area.When? April 1st, 5PM Where? Destin Commons, front lot beside Highway 98 area, directly in front and...
  37. Clearance for Ross pistons?

    On forged pistons, at least my wiseco's, look at the notches for the valves. The intake side ones are slightly larger than the exhaust side. This can tell you which side the pistons should be facing. I put mine in backwards one time not knowing :-\
  38. Did your ACT clutch fail on you? If so, post here

    Mine wasn't necessarily spring related. But my disk did go bad. Under 500 miles old, my disk chipped and lodged between the disk and flywheel. This caused the car to creep like an automatic. Since I waited to put it on, it went past the 90 or whatever day warranty, and now I'm stuck with a...
  39. Street Racing quotes/sayings/phrases

    When the light turns green, the GSX gets mean.
  40. A/T to M/T swap, now car won't start

    Yes, it generally helps us to know what other mods you did.
  41. How fast do the balnce shafts spin?

    Agreed. You could always just remove them.
  42. long term purchase or short term upgrade

    Talon. I don't hear of many drag stealths.
  43. front engine cover (oil pump)

    Try Autozone? They might sell the covers? Slowboyracing might on their site on, or you can call and they should have one for you.
  44. dome light question

    They don't have the switch on the dome light. It's not even really a "dome" light, it's the lights in the mirror.To test out whether or not it's the switch, leave your keys in and open the door. Does the buzzer only come on 50% of the time? If so, it's the switch that determines whether or...
  45. Wipers wont turn OFF

    I'd assume it's the switch, since it's not totally switching off right now. For a temporary fix, pull the fuse.
  46. Cleaning Head

    Simple answer, no. Unbolt it and take it back off. You cant clean well at all through the runners, and if you really want a machine shop to hot tank it, it'll take you some $ (150ish) and a day or two or three, and it'll come back looking brand new. Otherwise, use a nice clean rag?? and take...
  47. FWD carnage

    Damn. Im fixing a persons car who had his pressure plate crack and fly out of his bell housing, taking 3/4 of the housing with it.Did you find the flywheel at all?
  48. Welding machines [Merged 9-7] welder weld TIG MIG

    Arc welds mild to thick steel. It has the hassle of the jumper cable look alikes with long rods to do the welding with. I wouldn't recommend it on a car at all, personally.MIG. MIG uses gas and is wire fed. You can place the wire where you want, and it won't spark until you pull the trigger...
  49. 1g AWD MAF on 2g GST?

    Well, just to make a long story short, my friend has brought me his 97 GST which had his pressure plate explode, blowing away half his bellhousing. I replaced it, blah blah. Now, some dude that had this guys GST at his house when it broke, claims he mysteriously threw away the guys MAF. Now...
