  1. clutch question

  2. notchy feeling clutch pedal

    My clutch pedal will sometimes feel notchy. After pumping it a few times it goes away. Does anyone know what this might be?
  3. t04b(v-trim) Bolt on Discussion

    The water injection kit that i got was from www.aquastealth.com. Great kit. The only thing that you can see from the kit that would be any give away is the one line going to the throttle body. If it is done right it is not just a band aid for too small of an intercooler. It does so much for...
  4. t04b(v-trim) Bolt on Discussion

    I am in the exact same situation as you are. I want to keep the car looking as stock as possible. I also have the dejon tool sidemount. I have the super big sidemount, but im not sure if they are the same thing or not. To help the intercooler it might be worth your wihile to look into water...
  5. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    well i went back out tonight for some more tuning runs and everything went great. My peak timing is still only at 16* but the car seems to be running strong. Thanks everyone for your help.
  6. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    I finally got a logged run:rpm tima 2100 20* 3312 8* 3920 10* 4532 9* 5104 10* 5652 13* 6144 14* 6596 15* 6980 15*This was on my fifth straight run, and the max. coolant temperature hit 213*, and my max intake temp was 102* so i'm...
  7. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Well i went out last night for the tuning runs and had great success. I leaned out 7% across the board from what you see above and the thing just felt stronger. Some spots i leaned it out more and others i had to richen up a little to get my timing right. I only tuned for 20 psi, hopefully i can...
  8. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    My car was tuned with the setup that i have now minus the w/i on a dyno with an a/f sniffer. There is really no need to tune it with the water injection turned off. It runs great, with great timing advance with the water turned off. I am going tonight to get some more tuning runs in. I know i...
  9. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    How will i know if the ecu is pulling timing because of actual knock, or just because it is seeing too much air going into the engine? It sucks that 2gs didn't come with a knock sensor to read off of a dattalogger.
  10. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Thanks a lot sweet97. That will definitely help. And it makes perfectly good sense. I will give it a shot and see how it works. I will let you know how it comes out. I will post my logs too, so you can take a look. I ask one question and find out so much about my car. Gotta love tuners. :thumb:
  11. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    So you are saying that if i lean it out more that i will see more timing advance. I thought that you needed to add fuel to keep knock at bay, and in turn will get better timing advance. If i am wrong just let me know, as this is just my understanding. I should be going out tonight for a few...
  12. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Although my timing looks good, There were a few spots where it is still a little richer than it was previous. And it seemed necessary to do to keep the timing from being pulled or not advancing fully. This still seems wierd to me? Any thoughts on this.
  13. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Me and my buddy took it out for some tuning runs last night, and had great success. I took out about 5% fuel across the board and started fresh from there. It ran without hitting fuel cut , but my timing wasn't looking so good. Im only hitting like 5* of timing at 3500, but it started climbing...
  14. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Yes I suppose you could.
  15. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    From what it seems evryone who has used w/i has only good things to say about it. It does work wonders. I personally like it, but just need to fine tune it for my setup. It is a good mod for any level of modification, from stock to full blown (no pun intended) race cars. In my opinion a great...
  16. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    This is exactly what happened to me. It didn't feel like the same thing as a full blown fuel cut brick wall, but it wasn't just a bogging down either. How did you tune it out?
  17. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    This is a link to a tech article showing how to make a DIY w/i kit.http://dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81892. Although i bought my own kit from www.aquastealth.com i found this to be very helpful. There are other sites devoted to water injection also. I found a google search on water...
  18. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    It wasn't as hard of a hit into the brick wall, but i felt it. Maybe it wasn't fuel cut then. It sure felt like it though. Maybe it was just a very strong stutter. By driving through it i meant i just kept it floored and the car would pick right back up very strong.I'm going to go ack out...
  19. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    It is definitly fuel cut. I am running a 50/50 mix methonal/water. I have a big16g, and am using the dejon tool super big sidemount (10"x10"x5"). I felt the intercooler after every run at the track and it wasn't hot at all. And no boost leaks. The night before i went to the track i logged a run...
  20. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    i wasn't saying that i was going to run both race gas and w/i. I was just saying that when i ran race gas everything was fine, even without changing my afc settings. And when using the w/i I was having problems. I definitely wouldn't get into both yet. I have rc engineering 550's. My w/i kit is...
  21. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    Im hitting fuel cut with the just the w/i turned on and my afc at the same settings. wouldn't leaning it out any more cause it to be more prone to hit fuel cut? I hit fuel cut once. Richened up the area where it hit, and then no problems. Turned up the boost a little and then hit fuel cut twice...
  22. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    I had a few logs but, while at the track I recorded one and when i went to take a look at it the palm froze. It would not do anything so I had to reset it and when i did this it erased the logging program and all saved files. So i do not have a log saved as of now, but i will most likely head...
  23. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    I took my car to the track and was hitting fuel cut. Wouldn't the water injection keep knock down so as not to hit fuel cut. I actully had to richen up a few spots on my afc, to keep from hitting fuel cut. I am stumped, anyone with any help would be appreciated.
  24. Water injection.

    I just recently bought and installed the kit from aquastealth.com and I think it is a great kit, especially when compared to other more expensive places. Great kit, and great customer service. :thumb:
  25. too much fuel + w/i = bad timing???

    My car was dyno tuned with pump gas for 20 psi with an o2 sniffer. I'm now tuning with a logger and an afc. I just recently installed a water injection kit, and with the same 20 psi my peak timing at 6600 was only 16*? I didn't change anything on the afc yet , but i thought that after installing...
  26. boost pressure switch for w/i

    I am installing a water/alcohol injection kit onto my car. I think the boost pressure switch is not working correctly. Does anyone know of a place to buy one other than online? i.e. home depot, pep boys, auto zone ect. I need to get one quick because I am going to the track next week and still...
  27. water injection install ?

    Thanks for the info. Great link too, it was very informative. The kit I bought was from aquastealth.com. Great kit maybe just some bad components.
  28. Race gas?

    Why not just use a water injection kit. Running that with the right setup yields the same gains as a higher octane fuel. Lowers the chances of knock to be able to run more boost. The cost of a kit will equal the amount you will probably spend on race fuel in about 2 months depending on how many...
  29. water injection install ?

    My buddy and I installed my water injection kit. We followed the directions perfectly, but it won't turn on. Is it safe to test the pump by just hooking up to a 12v battery? Could it be a bad relay or solonoid? If so is there any way to check for those? We tried connecting the two terminals on...
  30. water inj. install question

    I bought my kit from a guy off of ebay for $210. He sells through ebay or an online store at aquastealth.com. It is a great kit, and seems to be cheaper than other systems around. His feedback on ebay is exceptional. Hundreds have said it was a great kit. Maybe check that out before you go and...
  31. water inj. install question

    I had already installed the nozzle into the tb elbo before reading that it wasn't a good place. I did notice how soft the material was when i went to tap it. I'll just keep it there until it gets loose and then move it. Thanks for the tuning tips i'll have to give it a shot. I mounted the pump...
  32. water inj. install question

    Thanks guys for all of your help. I found a tap at work that will fit the thread. The IC piping is too thin to just drill and then screw in. I wouldn't feel safe with that. I do like the sound of welding a bung onto the pipe though. I am a welder so i could do it myself. I might try that...
  33. water inj. install question

    I recently purchased a water injection kit and would like to start installing it.But first just a few ?'s. Two quick things. 1. Where is the best place to run the wiring and tube through the firewall. 2. I looked all over the place and I cannot find a tap to match the threads on the water...
  34. How many coats of paint on rims???

    When i painted my rims I took all of the finish off first by using aircraft stripper. Then about 2-3 coats of sandable primer. 3-4 coats of paint. And like 2-3 million coats of clear coat. They came out great. I don't know what color you are doing them, but if black or really any other color for...
  35. New Turbo and mods questions

    The BOV has nothing to do with boost creep. It stops compressor surge in between shifts.How much boost are you planning on running? I had a big 16g with boost set to 12 psi and no fuel mods, and it would creep up to about 19 psi. So I just didn't get on it until It was safe. After I got my...
  36. Any proof of HP gains with 1G cams in 2G head?

    My buddy has a spare 1st gen engine laying around that we use as a parts motor. If there are any gains I will definitely be yanking those out.
  37. what r free int. and ext. mods?

    I don't know what color your car is, but if you paint your stock rims either black or a gunmetal color, and leave the lip polished it looks real nice. I did mine black with the polished lip and I think it looks great. It will cost you about $20 in paint and take about 3-4 hours (not including...
  38. smoked by a gsr ????????

    The GS-R comes from the factory rated at 170 hp. That 170 comes from VTEC which doesn't kick in until 6500 rpm. Until then its not all that fast. A stock eclipse comes with 210 horsepower and a hell of al lot more torque. At what rpm does a T-25 spool. Your getting a kick in the pants from as...
  39. Should I be dissapointed?

    There were a couple of guys at the track with a small 16g running 12.5 - 12.9. I don't know if that is all just in the driving but I seemed to have more mods than them other than a front mount. The sidemount I have is the absolute biggest I could find ( something like 9.5" x 10" x 5" thick) and...
  40. Should I be dissapointed?

    I went to the track a couple of days ago for my first time, and I don't think I did so well. I had just gotten on a new clutch a week before, and just finished the break in period on the drive there. I was having serious trouble launching the first couple of times and pulled 13.7 at 102* not...
  41. Starting a carbon fiber company, what parts would you like to see made.

    I would like to see something made to either cover or replace the reflection bar on the rear end of a 2g talon. They don't make anything for it and I don't like the look of painting them.
  42. Help me with my pull (boost creep)

    The boost controller can cause boost spike by not opening the wastegate quick enough, but as soon as the wastegate is opened the boost level should go back down.The boost controller has nothing to do with creep. I had this problem with the softer spring in my mbc. Once I got all of my fuel mods...
  43. Performance difference when swapping the stock T-25 to a T-28 or 16G?

    When i upgraded my turbo i didn't have many supporting mods. I got a big 16g and noticed a huge difference. I only ran about 10 psi on that and it was a hell of alot quicker than the t-2small at even 16 psi. It is a great upgrade and i definitely recommend it. The mid to top end power is...
  44. Supra Sidemount Install

    I just got the Dejon tool super big sidemount. It is a bit expensive but it takes away all of the hassles of trying to fit it in , and get plumbing for it. It is bigger and flows more than the supra sidemount. The core that they use is rated at 450 horsepower so when going with an even bigger...
  45. intercooler to uicp?

    I bought a dejon tool super big sidemount for my car along with an upper intercooler pipe.The outlet on the intercooler is 2-1/2 inches and the pipe is 2-1/4 inches. They included a 2-1/4 straight coupling. I tried to find a coupling that went from one size down to the other and had no luck...

  49. Has anyone purchased a SAFC-2 off of ebay?

    I bought mine with the buy it now also. It came to me within 5 days of purchasing it. It was new in the box , and included everything needed to install it. Is it a private seller or a company doing business through ebay? Mine came from a company, and had zero problems.
