  1. New Talon Tsi with a bunch of upgrades!!! advice???

    While you have the front cover off change the seals for the oil pump and crank, I didn't do this and had to take it apart again. Also a adj. fuel pressure regulator for the 255 and maybe some injectors depending on how crazy you are going with the 16g. I would recommend dsmlink over the safc...
  2. Anybody ride sport bikes ("crotch rockets")?

    Honestly I wish I would have started out on a ninja 250 or anything smaller then a 600. It was an eye opener when I went to my first track day with a ninja 600 and a 250 was running circles around me. When I stopped going to the track I was giving the 1k guys a hard time :)
  3. Anybody ride sport bikes ("crotch rockets")?

    I guess I can give you my opinion, I have been riding for 9 years have owned an fzr600, tl1000s, zx6r(track bike), tl1000r and a zx14. My suggestion would be to look at a suzuki sv650 and also TAKE A CLASS. I was a sub instructor for the msf (motorcycle safty foundation) and you have no idea...
  4. She finally runs :)

    Its a great feeling getting one finished, I just finished mine last week and almost a little nervous to go out and drive the thing and find out what could fail next.
  5. Fuel upgrade help

    I would also suggest to go with 1000cc because I have a similar setup to you and am kicking myself now for buying the 680cc.
  6. water pump/alternator bracket?

    I just ordered one from miller importparts he is a vendor on here believe his user name is stangmudera and I got the part super quick, for cheap, and in good shape. Couldn't beat it, also you can probably get your welded if it needs to be done quick.
  7. HX35 dyno-264/272 vs 272/272

    Dang that is awesome
  8. Oil pump castle nut

    On my engine I had to heat the thing up to get it to move and it took a lot of a beating. Hopefully it goes well for you.Steve
  9. Awesome new DSM shirts I found 1G & 2G

    I've done better tracing. J/k that picture is awesome and I would buy a shirt
  10. 88 TSI CONQUEST 4G63 swap

    The t5 was also used in mustangs of course the t45 was used in mustangs but the modular engine so I don't think the bellhousings are any where near similar especially since the t45 didn't have a seperate bellhousing to the transmission. Both have been made by tremec. The t56 is a 6 speed so...
  11. Resolved 2G 6-bolt timing tensioner pulley. WTF?

    What year manual are you looking at because the 6 bolt tensioner will have the two holes on the top side of the bolt not the bottom to put proper tension on it. I think that is the problem.Steve
  12. JUST venting won't idle

    Problem ended up being the power transistor was slightly unplugged and the bracket was loose. Car is running better but found out the water pump is leaking so I'm sure after tearing it down something else will happen!!!
  13. JUST venting won't idle

    Tomorrow I think I will try locking my timing with dsmlink and then if needed swap around the plug wires. The box is checked in dsmlink I noticed that last night.
  14. Doing timing belt.

    the best way I knew to check my timing belt tension is to measure the distance with a drill bit between the auto tensioner and the bracket it pushes on. I believe it is supposed to be between 3/16 and 5/32. Don't quote me because this is off the top of my head. Also get the tools if you can...
  15. JUST venting won't idle

    Sorry about that it is a 6 bolt, and yes bov is recirculated. Ill take a look at the link you posted. For the firing order since I'm using a non 95/96 cas don't I need to swap the plug wires, that is why I did 3241. Also in the diagram on the link you sent it shows 2 coil and I guess I'm...
  16. JUST venting won't idle

    So I just got finished putting a new oil pump in and doing the balance shaft elimination. I used the correct tools on the timing belt and everything is good there. The issue I am having is that I cannot get the thing to idle. As soon as I start the car it will idle around 500 rpm for a few...
  17. Timing belt issues

    You will need to order the tool either from miller or jay racing, I have the miller one and have bent the prongs that go into the pulley. I have heard people using needle nose pliars to do it but I have always had the tool.
  18. Crank tries to return to original position

    okay I snapped a few pictures, opinions please.
  19. Crank tries to return to original position

    Ok this is what happened to my car, I was getting the idle setup in Dsmlink and towards the end of the log I heard a bang and the car started vibrating more then normal so I shut it down immediately. I had the lower timing belt cover off already because I was diagnosing a oil leak and realized...
  20. Starting problem and I might be an idiot

    So my car hasn't started in a few weeks and I might have found the reason but I also have a question to ask first. My car is a 96 awd tsi and in my trouble shooting I wanted to check the starter relay which from the service manual says it is a 4 pin relay under the stereo and on the right side...
  21. Thinking about Getting a 2g

    At 114k be ready to do a timing belt shortly just for good measure.
  22. What would you do if you won $2,000,000?!

    Start my life over in mexico as a bullfighter
  23. 1999 eclipse gsx ....should i buy?

    Nice looking car, I would pick it up.
  24. No Dash Warning Lights

    Did you add dsmlink or move the computer. I had a similar issue because the person that had my eprom before me had the dsmlink chip installed incorrectly.Kind of a shot in the dark with how much wiring you did though.Steve
  25. rear axle bolts

    If I am following you right you need to get the nut off at the axle end where it goes through the hub? If so heat works well and when that doesn't you might be able to remove the hub and bring the axle out through the knuckle. Mine was like this and the orginal owner cut the axle. I wanted to...
  26. Balance shaft question(and not elimination)

    Everyone I'm trying to put the car back together and been running into a snag that I don't understand. If I setup the timing marks on the oil pump gears the driven gear is facing the incorrect way compared to the balance shaft. I believe my balance shaft is correct because I locked it with a...
  27. Top Gear America ... Failure?

    I watched 15 minutes of the first episode last night and turned it off. I will check out the evo one and see what that is like. But so far all I think is FAIL
  28. 6 bolt swap issues i cant eat or sleep, help ME

    I have a egr block off plate on my intake manifold, do you have your deleted?
  29. Oil pump tolerance check

    Thanks for the info.Steve
  30. Front main seal replacement

  31. What cars have you owned?

    Ok here is my list89 prelude si- first car and survived countless abuse 89 s-10- beater while prelude got fixed over the winter 93 talon es-nice daily for a while 91 talon tsi awd-fun car that I bought blown up and fixed it 97 cobra-bought it from selling the 91 tsi. I eventually...
  32. Oil pump tolerance check

    Everyone,I've been working on this damn car awhile now and have the front case off so I decided I would check the tolerances on the oil pump gears. In the service manual it doesn't say where along the ridge to run the feeler gauge specifically like the haynes manual does. When I check the...
  33. Peoria illinois

    I was orginally from there, but live in Lafayette now. check out dsmcentral.com or .org Used to be alot of dsm people in the area.Thanks, Steve
  34. Rear Axles

    Mine was the same way after I removed the bolts to the hub. I had to replace basically everything back there on the car. We tried heating up the axle and hub to get the axle out and put it in a 30 ton press at the same time and still no luck.
  35. Timing skipped a tooth

    Mine skipped a tooth and bent all 8 intake valves. So best bet is just take the head off and find out. Did knock some dings in the pistons but everything is okay.
  36. SUNROOF REPAIR 2G [Merged 8-8] sun roof rail jam stuck open

    I always thought sunroof was a manual operated one. Like you have to push the bracket for the sun roof to go up or you need to remove the glass by hand to use it. A moonroof to me a powered sunroof. That is what I always thought.
  37. What's cheaper: Rebuild or buy used head?

    I have noticed heads go anywhere from 100-250. If you can find a head for 100 that needs a valve job figure in 120+ plus. That is how much they are in my area. Trust me I have been looking I took my head to the machine shop and it had 8 bent valves which sucks but fixible. The problem was...
  38. Glowshift Installation

    Have you checked to see how well the gauge pod fits, I am putting one in my car shortly and was just curious how well it fit.Thanks Steve
