  1. to dump or not to dump?

    Listen to Twitch, folks. The *only* possible effect the external dump can have on performance is a *positive* one. Those who are suggesting it can hurt the top end are simply wrong.The external dump relieves any backpressure on the wastegate, allowing everything to flow...
  2. Agp?

    That's a relief, I was worried AGP was ditching support for DSM's and going all-Neon on us.Sorry for being a nervous Nellie, Ben.
  3. Agp?

    Bizzare. That was a very well regarded kit. I guess the DSM market is dying pretty quickly. Even Buschur says DSMs are not his bread and butter anymore. He says DSM'ers are really cheap. Heh Heh. I think we have know that for a long time, Dave! ROFL
  4. EGR Valve Block-off

    All I know is that I removed my emissions vaccum tubes, charcoal canister, etc. with out putting a EGR blockoff plate in, and my car is .5sec slower in the 1/4 mile and down a couple MPH. I'm not saying it's because the EGR is opening, but that's a theory. I guess I'll find out next...
  5. DSM Link: car doesn't idle very well

    It looks like you have your Global fuel adjustment and dead time pretty close to where they should be.The next step is fine tuning those settings using LTFT. This is described in detail in the DSMLink manual.However, I suspect your problem has absolutly nothing to do with...
  6. AFPR... do i need one?

    Every car is different. With a 255 pump, my first reaction would be that you need an AFPR. However.... check your Long Term Fuel Trims. If they don't go below -12.5 or over +12.5 after 10-15 of cruising/idling around, you probably don't need an AFPR.After seeing someone use...
  7. Dejon tool dual stage MBC...anybody using one?

    I have the Dejon tool dual MBC hooked up just the way you do. It took me twenty minutes to install, and it has worked perfectly for 2 years now. I'm sure you have solved the problem by now. It's usually pretty simple with these MBCs. :cool:
  8. Hahn Racecraft I/C

    Yep, I have one hooked up to a FP 2828. It's a very well-made piece. Everything bolted up easily and very solidly. Just be prepared to trim the bumper a lot, it's very big. If given a choice between this and the big Greddy for the same price, I would get this every time...
  9. Magnus Intake Manifold = PITA

    Don't take any of these guys to heart. You posted something negative about Magnus, which gives all these guys a chance to kiss Marco's ass by bashing you in various clever ways.You'll find that most of them would put on a wedding dress and give their cherry to Marco if he would marry...
  10. Tein SS coilovers

    Maybe you should just put them on and not worry about it. :confused:
  11. Supra TT pump Vs Walbro 190

    The Supra TT pump smacks the Walbro 190 AND 255 around like ragdolls.But the Walbros are much cheaper, much easier to install, and the Supra pump is overkill for most people.I got a Supra pump, and it required me going to the autoparts store for some custom ring connectors, nuts and...
  12. fpr

    That's what I have always heard. However.... someone local to me was having some "richness" problems after he put in a 255 Walbro and 550cc injectors without any fuel control. (Ya think? :rolleyes: )I popped open his hood and saw he had a B&M installed. I grimaced. His...
  13. Stock fuel pump question

    Exactly.My rewired 2G pump wouldn't even flow enough for 450's at 100%, and the 1G pump is supposed to be even weaker.Some people have run 12s on the stock pump... but why risk it?It costs $90 for a Walbro255 kit that drops right in. Throw on a AFPR (Buschur makes a good...
  14. illumina/prokit vs. tein

    Actually, the stock rates on the Type Flex are 10/6, not 10/7. So 10/8 would be a MAJOR change. You're talking about going from 336 lb/in springs to 448 lb/in springs in the back. I can see how that would get rid of some understeer. (understatement?)I'm not saying it wouldn't be a...
  15. DSM Link for 1G????

    LMAO. If your threshold for stupidity is this low, these DSM boards must really drive you crazy these days, with all the ricer trash infesting them. :laugh:
  16. Dsm Link Impressions!!

    I would go even further and say that 99.9% of the people out there, if they have a choice between a standalone and a DSMLink, should get the 'Link.
  17. Hahn Or Greddy FMIC, come here if you have one...

    Jesus, buddy.... I remember reading those threads over a year ago (or was is 2 years). It was found that Greddy USA had made a mistake on their webpage. The R-spec core which has much tighter fins is used on the DSM intercooler. Somebody even took photos of their big Greddy...
  18. Hahn Or Greddy FMIC, come here if you have one...

    Huh. I have the HRC FMIC and I had to cut so much that I ended up just removing the entire bumper. However, I probably would have done the same thing with the Greddy, as I am lazy and don't drive my car much.If you can get them for the same price or close, it's a no-brainer. The...
  19. Dsm Link Impressions!!

    DSMLink is the best thing out there. The tunability of a standalone, with the drivability and safety of the stock ECU. Oh, and datalogging that is better than anything else you can get at any price. And even a moron can use it.For a 2G DSM owner, the DSMLink is a no-brainer...
  20. FP T28 Install on 2G

    Just take out the turbo. It's no problem. Removing the cooling fan's gives you plenty of room to work with.When you remove the manifold, there is always the chance of snapping the studs holding it on....pain in the ass. However, if you are installing a Big28, I was under the...
  21. whats the best fmic ? (being reasonable with cost)

    http://www.dejontool.com/DSM-1g%20FIC.htm$900 for a huge FMIC with all the piping included. And you can also get a blow-through MAFT option.They also happen to be a good company that doesn't dick you around. I've had the best luck with them and Buschur.
  22. Super16g verses EVO III 16g

    Not trying to be a HRC supporter, Josh, but this guy has the Super 16G and knows what it can do.From what I've seen, everyone who doesn't have a "Super" turbo says: "10cm housing?!? That's incredibly stupid, it's gonna spool like crap!" However, most of the people who actually have...
  23. Is FWD worth modding? (Road course NOT drag racing)

    Go to www.roadraceengineering.com and check out what those freaks do with a FWD DSM. There are some videos on there of them absolutely DESTROYING all the competition.I would say in most cases, the FWD is actually the better road-racing machine, because it has less drivetrain loss, and...
  24. Difference between 16g and t28

    Yeah, for FWD.... go no smaller than a 50 trim. ;) (Seriously, they are so cheap now with the PTE housings and their ilk.... there is no reason not to buy a bigger turbo)BTW, I have a FP T28, and I like it a lot. However, at the time (2 years ago) I was into autocrossing, and...
  25. Agp Rs49 ???

    Wild stuff. It will be intresting to see how these things work. Will it still make sense to pay $300-$400 more for a Green???
  26. Porting Tools [Merged 3-8] Tool die grinder Dremel

    Could you post the other two pics? I take it you just have to remove the step to match the hole to a 7cm gasket? :cool:
  27. Porting Tools [Merged 3-8] Tool die grinder Dremel

    Then again, it *is* a month later, and you still aren't done. Doesn't sound like 20 minutes to me! :p
  28. Porting Tools [Merged 3-8] Tool die grinder Dremel

    Aovsi, thanks for the reply and the picture. That helps a lot. I guess it depends how valuble your time is. My time is not worth much much, so this do-it-yourself route looks worth a try. ;)
  29. Porting Tools [Merged 3-8] Tool die grinder Dremel

    Don't get so defensive. SOMEONE *IS* full of shit. If you are right, then it is the people who say porting the exhaust manifold even with the right tools is a hard job. I never said you were full of shit, I would just like to know why I'm getting two completly diff. stories...
  30. Porting Tools [Merged 3-8] Tool die grinder Dremel

    Interesting. Everyone on my local list tells me that porting the exhaust manifold collector is incredibly hard, even with the right tools, and I shouldn't even ATTEMPT it by myself. Forced Performance charges $90 to do it.Now you come along and say a crappy drill and some cheap-ass...
  31. I now have a Turbo!

    Ha Ha. It's good when NT guys can laugh at themselves....... like everybody else does. ;)
  32. 2Slow 2Curious is in the making :D

    Hector walks into tuner shop: "I need 3 of everything: Lawnmowers, edge trimmers, and green cards. Put a rush on it, I heard you white boys work fast."
  33. Dsm Eclipse Talon Laser Stage3 Eprom Chip

    I've got a *real* stage 3 TMO 2G chip I'll sell for cheap. Worked great, but I've got DSMLink now.It even says "Copyright 2000, TMO" on it. ;)
  34. Grassroots Motorsports DSM article

    It's gotten slicker, but its still the most hard-core of the mags I subscribe to. The DSM article was a pretty good intro to DSMs. I'd rather see an article on how to dial in a coil over suspension, but...
  35. FP Big t-28 vs. FP Big 16G!

    The Big28 from Forced Performance is a good deal, IMHO. It is so easy to install, and very high quality. I have the smaller T28/28 (not as much top end power as the newer Big28) and it's done everything I asked of it for the past 2 years. It installed perfectly.It's a blast...
  36. Took some new pics of the GSX... What do ya think?

    What a beautiful car.How did you get your engine bay to be so clean? It's beautiful.
  37. GI JOE on drugs.....(funny)

    OMG, I think I just wet my pants. :laugh:
  38. 2g Awd Fuel Pump Rewire.

    On the AWD, the idiot light is run by a seperate sensor on the other side of the tank from the fuel pump.
  39. 96 Chrysler Sebring, DSM?? YES!!!

    Actually it shares quite a bit of parts with the 2G DSM. The suspension is probably the biggest thing. I sat in a Avenger, and I felt like I was sitting in my 2G Talon, because it was almost exactly the same parts used for the interior.Technically, it's a DSM, just as much as a NT is...
  40. Complete Loss of Interest

    Good advice. I also liked the part where you said not to make a car you can't keep up with. I've been preaching that for years.Unfortunatly, with used DSM so cheap, many people are buying them that can't afford to keep up with them, even stock. There should be a warning on...
  41. Mustang to DSM??

    Oh Wow.DaveDSM just OWNED NosLaser. :laugh:A Mustang is better at EVERYTHING than a DSM.... wow. NosLaser, you are now the one who looks like a blithering idiot.What about the fact the Mustang weighs a lot more than a DSM? What about the fact the DSM suspension is bleems...
  42. Complete Loss of Interest

    I go up to Winterport and race sometimes. Did we exchange email? I've got the Grey 2G AWD Talon. Were you the one who didn't come over to say hi because there was some **** hanging around my car?Anyway, I'm sad to hear your sick of your car. :( But, like you said, you...
  43. I got to drive a 9 sec camaro

    Now THAT was teh funny. :laugh:
  44. Suggestions for T28 purchase

    I really don't think much can be improved on DSMLink. When I had a SAFC, I remember *wishing* I could get something that would log fast, adjust timing and fuel, log knock counts, etc. etc.Then DSMLink came out. It does everything I dreamed of, and more. Like logging boost, running...
  45. GC coilovers w/ konis OR Tein SS coilovers

    BwaaaHaaaa Haaa. Now THAT was funny. Except for the fact that lots of us DSM'ers run around with hot Azn babes, kicking ass. ;)From what I've heard, Tein is very high quality stuff. It doesn't have any of the rattles that the Ground Controls have. Over on the DSMtalk...
  46. Tell me why I shouldnt get the 255lph...

    The same thing happened to me, except with a Supra pump. I think we have determined, beyond any doubt, that the extra voltage a fuel pump rewire gives really sends a lot more fuel down the lines!
  47. Tell me why I shouldnt get the 255lph...

    You can use the rewired stock pump for what? (I might have just missed this in the orginal post)Some people run mid 12s on the stock pump and race gas. I don't think you could make any more power than that without a bigger pump, no matter how nice the feed lines are. I'm willing to...
  48. How much hp will be gained w/ greddy fmic on t-25?

    And that would be a wrong conclusion. As I just pointed out above, people do often kill the T25 by "overboosting", and the stuff you quoted supports that possibility.As for overheating, please do some more reading. Do you know what a compressor map is? It shows where a turbo...
  49. How much hp will be gained w/ greddy fmic on t-25?

    Nice cut and paste (at least I HOPE you didn't type all that!)But the fact is, overspinning a turbo DOES kill them. From the tome you posted:A real life example from the DSM community:I know of many autocrossers, who, because of SCCA rules, have to keep the T25 and the...
  50. Suggestions for T28 purchase

    What the f**k did you do to a T-28 to make it compressor surge? That turbo just came out about a year ago. How could you abuse it enough to give it shaft play in that amount of time? :confused:
