I did a search but couldn't find the information I need. My master cylinder is toast in my 92 TSi AWD and I need to find a replacement.Mitsu ASA shows a few different options for my model car. I'm assuming I will need to order #3 or #4 but am unsure as to the difference. Again, I'm assuming...
Ok. So here's the deal. I have an old fuel sending unit that I will be adding a bulk fitting to to supply more fuel but my electrical connections are kinda looking ratty. I'd like to upgrade them. I just don't know where I can find an electrical stud that will insulate itself from the metal...
I've been battling uphill ever since I upgraded my fuel system. As it sits right now, I have a walbro 255 in tank that has a 5/16" fuel injection line clamped with a fuel injection clamp. That is then connected to a fitting at the sending unit and out of the tank. Everything is tight prior to...
I've been having a hard time trying to start my car since the fuel system upgrade and I suspected the old walbro is hurt. I've been getting a lot of leaking past my sending unit to tank seal, even with a 1/4 tank of gas. I found this weird so I did some investigating. I lifted my sending unit...
I recently upgraded my fuel feed line from the stock 5/16" line to a 3/8". I also installed a bosch 044 pump and an inline fuel filter. From the in-tank 255 Walboro to the FPR is completely aftermarket. I am using the stock 5/16" fuel line as my fuel return.The issue I'm having is that my...
I need a picture of a friend of mine chopped and another person superemposed to look as if they are with him. It's clearly a joke and I'm hoping one of you guys might want to help out.Make the picture of 'the swamper' look as if she is in the photo frame with him. Thanks.
There was a supercharger which was custom made with the help of a tig and mig welder in PEI Canada. This was all done in early 2001.Use and Eaton M90 charger. Customs install. Aluminum sheet metal intake. Tensioner. 11 psi supercharger pulley. Modified rear engine mount. Custom water...
I'm doing a trans rebuild right now and have run into a pretty big problem. I know most of you guys have never opened up, let alone rebuilt a transmission but I had the bright idea to do it.Everything went well. All the parts fit together properly and within clearances. I clearanced the...
I'm not sure if this is a double post but I'm pretty sure this message board would turn into this if we were all in a corporate board room.http://www.pandachute.com/videos/internet_commenter_business_meeting
Well last summer a week before I put my car away for the winter, it rained. So I had to defrost my window. Long story short, the heater fan came on strong and then slowly died out until it wasn't turning anymore.Fast forward to today. I see the fuse panel is a mangled mess. The three circled...
Bought this part last week and it came quick and for a really good price. Air mailed in over the weekend. It's not installed as my motor is not even assembled as of yet but this will be my initial opinion and I'll follow it up in the summer with a follow-up.Initial Inspection
You can see...
So you want to remove your emissions pieces because you were told it would yield you more horsepower. Well Im here to tell you that is pretty much wrong. This statement would be true in the 1970s when emission pieces were new and in development but recently in the past 20 years, OEMs have found...
I recently did a turbo conversion on a friends 93 ES. Things are great except something is not right.Let me describe the car fully first. Compression is good. 150-150-150-150 +/- 3psi across the board with strong first two cranks. The spark plug wires are good and so are the plugs. There is...
Ever so recently I've dropped in a AWD 6-puck ACT clutch kit. It's unsprung so it's very harsh with engagement. Anyway, here's the story. About a month ago, I was a kilometer away from home when my clutch decided it didn't want to work anymore.I pushed it home with a couple guys and took...
Theres a show on TV up here in Canada called "War of the Wheels." Basically we are given a 95 TSi AWD with $4-5k for engine mods. $3k for stereo. $3k for exterior and $2k for interior mods.I'm casted as the lead mechanic. I want some ideas from you clowns. I know basically know what I want...
I didn't even get my hands dirty. :cool: My first model build on CATIA V5 was this FMIC. It would actually fit on the 1G TSi... but not very well. I'll be building another one when my skills increase. Remember, it's my first CATIA model ever.Was bored at work when I did it but here it is:
My knock sensor harness on the car side is a complete disaster. The moron who owned the car before me was a complete joke.Theres two wires going from the knock sensor to the car's harness. Is it possible for me to hardwire one wire of the knock sensor to the ECU's pin for the knock sensor...
This is fairly short and simple. For wiring up your non-turbo 1G 4G63 to accomodate turbo injectors, you will first need to purchase a stock injector resistor pack. These usually go for $5-20CDN, depending on who you buy from.This is simple and is the most common cause of consern for turbo...
18x8 with 45 offset (x2 for front) and 18x9 with 38 offset (x2 for back). Both they are both running 235/40/zr18. Will they rub or will they be nice and not rub?
Short story: I bought a 93 ES 2 and a half years ago. It was slow. I turboed it. That was too slow, so I dropped in turbo pistons, upgraded a lot of parts and ran 20psi on a big EVO 3 16G. I lost all traction from 1st and 2nd gear and my non-turbo clutch disk lost all it's meat and built a glaze...
Yeah, do you see anything missing? 4G63 N/T trannys gears are weaker than turbo trannies. I've seen both. Here's the n/t tranny. Where did 3rd gear go? Oh... at the bottom of my tranny.
Our transmissions suck. I blew third gear right into one million pieces. Both gears got shreaded. So I took it apart with the help of a local dsm guy/guru and compared our n/t gears to the turbo gears. Our gears are thinner and the teeth are thinner. Everything is smaller and shittier. Third...
Heres the issue, I go to the track and run 18psi on my big EVO3 16g. The car is tuned very nicely with all the supporting mods necessary. I just have one problem. My best time is 14.04@111mph. It's not a power issue though. I have enough of that. It's a traction issue.I am running the 1G n/t...
I have the n/t wiring harness so my MAS plug is different then the turbo one. I have to hardwire up the wires. The colors of my wires are the same as turbo. Could someone check to see what colors on the GM MAFT match up with what colors of the stock MAF plug? This is what is keeping my car from...
So have you have done the turbo conversion and find yourself overheating or heating up very quickly? You might want to know that your non-turbo rad is less then half the size of the turbo radiator. With the thickness of the n/t rad just under 1/2 an inch and the turbo rad just over 1 inch, u...
I remember seeing a thread a while back with the list of GM MAFs which will work in a DSM. I searched for 20 minutes with no luck for this thread. Could someone link me to the list of GM MAFs which will work?Thanks.
I understand the purpose behind this gauge and I now believe I should have one inside my cockpit at all times. I want to make sure I have a proper fuel pressure adjustment at idle and under boost... just to keep safe.Now I was looking to buy a gauge that will match my boost gauge...
Enough is enough. I've had enough of my stock cooling system fans turning off for no apparent reason. My car used to be set up with AC but I recently took it out with my engine swap. Yet I put both fans back in.My FMIC is block air flow to my rad, so I keep both fans running all the time...
Basically I put my car away for the winter. I went to start it the day AFTER I stored it and it wouldn't start. The engine would crank, and the timing is dead on, but it would not catch. I checked all fuses. Everyone of them is good. Did a COLD compression tes and got f*cked up numbers from...
I have Windows 98 because I run a sh*tty 800MHz P3. Anyway I have Internet Explorer 6.1 with a 128-bit security cypher strength. I can't seem to get onto a few web sites that I WAS able to get onto a week ago. It's not my internet connection because my brothers computer works for the sites that...
My FMIC is killing my engine-bay temperatures. The only way I can keep them around normal is to take out my thermostat and have both my fans running full time. That isnt even reliable. They cut in and out now for no apparent reason. They used to be reliable but one day, they decided they only...
I plan on buying a new set of these tires. Right now I'm riding on 215/40/18 but I want to bump the front tires up to 225/40/18. Anyone have this combo on their FWD set-up for their front tires? I'm just curious about rubbing. I've tried 235/40/18 and they rubbed. So I want to try 225s but I...
I once saw a vid of 2 tegs racing on the highway from a roll. Out of no where a 90-91 Talon flies by and rapes both of them. I wanna see it again. Can someone hook me up?
Today was the worst day of my turbo life. I was sick of leaking at 9psi, so I did an intake leak test. Found my leaks and fixed them. :D Got into my car, pull on to the main road but I couldn't haul past 5psi. :mad: It wasn't like I hit 5psi fast and then leaked. It was at 3k rpm, I was at 3psi...
I need help with my project. I just want some ideas thrown at me with urls to sites which show the manufacturing process of a car part. Try to keep it DSM related: turbo, IC, injectors... etc. I just need ideas and urls. Thanks.
I just basically did a full non-turbo to turbo conversion in my 1G. New bearings, reconditioned rods, new turbo pistons and rings, many new gaskets, the whole shpeel.New Mods - 16G, 2G MAS (all connectors connected correctly), HKS 264 cams, Kinetic FMIC kit, new magnacore wires and BPR7...
This came out of the oil filter housing on my 90's style housing. Right at the back there is a plug and this went into it. What does this spring do? (My oil pressure light came on after I forgot to place it back in).

Best line there for the DSMers

Alright boys. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm with you all. I will soon be running very high amounts of boost on my brand new turbo block. I'm just waiting for a few gaskets which are on it's way tonight and I can assemble the flywheel side of the block. The timing side is already done...
I was recently looking through my final **english** exam and I found that I wrote the word 'turbo' instead of the word 'text'.I just tried looking for a song on kazza and instead of looking up the song 'turn back time', I wrote the song 'turbo back time.' I was wondering why the f*ck I got...
My n/t engine's t-belt broke and I took out then engine. What a bi*** it was. Specially when the head wouldn't come off because of stupid stripped 12 point heads bolts.Anyway, I left the tranny in, supported by wood and it's mount. Is there anything I should get done before I start putting...
I'm trying to take my head bolts off my 93 7bolt n/t. The 13mm rachet bit is too big and the 12mm is too small. I tried using the imperial. Same shit, different measurements. Anyone know why the 13mm just strips the hell out of the head bolts and the 12 won't fit? Heating it up doesn't help btw...
I planned on installing them, but now there is no odd bolt for the oil pickup tube filter that attaches to the bearing bolt. How do I put the oil pick up tube in with the new arp rod/bearing bolts? Also, the Haynes manual doesn't clearly state any gasket between the oil pump case and front case...
