I'm a little confused as well because at the same boost levels the Evo would flow more air. I think that for the small price differences in the various 16g turbos, the Evo would be the logical choice because of its ability to flow more air, the larger compressor wheel, the lighter rotating...

Man I would be really pissed off if I was one of their older children. By the time my 14th or 15th little brother or sister popped out I would be like, "Dad, you're done. You're cut off!" Plus, I bet Chirstmas sucks ass.Seriously, there should be at least a thought in one of their minds...

Oh I feel you man. My talon has been down for about 5 months now and its coming down to the last little bit of work that needs. But its alright because I took my time and did it right this time. I can't wait.

That comment made me think of ESPN 8 The Ocho right off the bat! LOL!

Just from a little experience, I would not recommend going with the ACT 2100. Awd cars in general are extremely hard on clutches even if you don't race a lot. I pulled my 2100 out after about 10k on it and it looked like it was almost ready to be replaced. I would say go with a 2600 with a...

I don't want to be an ass or anything but I would sure listen to Kyle because he definately knows what he's talking about. Not to mention that cutting the shaft and worrying about it being balenced later doesn't seem worth it when the bs eliminator kits sold by almost every dealer is like $50...

I have always been pretty good about following the rules here on dsmtuners.com and I'm proud to say that. And, honestly, if there are new rules to be made about our spelling and grammer I will gladly abide by them. And, for the record, I feel like I've always been pretty good with my grammer...

I think it looks bad ass when the stockers are painted. I would say that you should go with a gunmetal color but since your is black I say go for it with the black. :thumb:

Yea I think it sounds like a great idea. But I don't think that there is a need for any photoshopping...Link to picture b/c I'm a retard and I don't know how to put the picture in my postHands down one of the best DSMs ever. Not to mention that its a bad ass picture. I've got as my...

I'm in pretty much the same boat as you are. I've got my relatively new evo3 and a brand new motor in the works and was really concerned as well. I talked to the guys at RRE and they said that if you're getting your turbo oil supply from the oil filter housing instead of the head you'd be...

Yeah, I didn't retune or anything. I just basked in the warm glowing glowing warmth of less/no knock an more timing advance. But I blew the motor anyway. :rocks:Anyway, yes if you have a good motor that can handle, you can lean it out the lazy way and up the pressure, or you can do it...

Water injection and alcohol injection are used for the same purpose, that is to keep knock under control. However, they do they do this in two different ways.Water does this by soaking up heat not only in the intake charge but also in the combustion chambers. Obviously, this helps with...

Hey man, it cool. There's no reason to be like that to the guy.Tim, I know exactly what your saying. I installed one on a car that wasn't a DSM before and I definately feel your pain. Yes I would recommend just taking it through the boot around the steering.Good Luck :thumb:

Sorry guy, I didn't know that you had a 2g b/c your profile said you had a '92. Anyway, in that case, I would recommend just a GReddy Type S. It is pretty cheap and it is adjustable and it recirulates.You can get a new one here at RRE for $230 with a $27 adapter kit.Anyway, my...

I say just stay with your 1g bov for now. There's no sense in spending the money to replace something thats aready great until the car actually needs a better bov.

Man guys I need to get my act together. I've had my tsi now for almost 2 years now but I haven't been able to make it up to any meets. Now I have to wait even longer because its broken down right now. But when its back together and broken in, you better believe that I'm going to come up and...

Agreed. Awds are really hard on clutches to begin with and the 2100 is only a modest upgrade from stock. I burnt a 2100 up in about 6000 miles of hard driving with only a small 16g back in the day. I would recommend either the 2600 or a spec stage III (bad ass clutch) if you are serious about...

I've had my stage 3 for about 3500 miles now and it great so far. I matched it up to a fidanza flywheel and the whole package chatters rediculously. Besides the chattering, there isn't any other clutch I would rather use to lock my 6 bolt up to my shep trans together. And it certainly was a...

I've been using Audio Studio 7 for about 2 yrs now for recording here and there but lately I've been looking into the mbox and protools. How have your experiences been with it? Is it worth the (kind of expensive) price?

Yea dude I'm at work right now too and it is slow and I'm very bored. But its money in the bank so whatever.Can you get to http://games.yahoo.com/ ? If you can, registration is free and then you play other people or you can come find me at the pool tables.

Happy birthday man! But I'm going to be very disappointed in you if we don't see any pics of you crawling down the streets of California.

Ibanez RG320, Alverez Classic II, Seagal Acoustic, Line 6 Spyder II 220 w/ FBV shortboard. Yea pretty much just play my music at or beyond the threshold of pain to my ears. :rocks:

"This T28 / EVO III Upgrade for..." What? WTF

I say go with the newest AWD you can find. First off, awd will be way better in the snow. And the newer you go the longer it will be (hopefully) before you have to start fixing and/or replacing things. Sure there is the whole crankwalk issue to worry about in the newer cars but if you go with...

Yes it is the easiest way to do it. Put the trans on the long block with both manifolds and the turbo and throw it in there. That's how I have done it on both of my DSMs that needed rebuilds. Good Luck.

I like the way that we can actually feel the modifications that we do to our cars. All these silly kids with their hondas are like, "Yea, I've got an intake and exhaust. I probably gained 25 hp from it." ROFL When we put an intake and bunch of exhaust work into our cars we actually do gain...

Alright guys, I have another theory that me and few other techs have loosly agreed on with my car b/c I'm having the same problem. I've got a fluidyne and fals and still overheating. But when the engine is on and hot (210+) the radiator hoses are not pressurized like a normal car's would be...

I got one thats kind of on subject.I went down the Salt river last weekend here is AZ and I went to jump out of my tube and drag me and my party out into the middle of the river. Well I'm kind of a short guy and I went all the way under and never touched the bottom. Anyway, I thought I had...

Actually, for the record, I don't understand you! :)Good Luck!Kent

That's crazy man. Does it make any crazy sounds when you try to push the clutch when the engine is running? I ask b/c the engine is definately not able to connect to the transmission and the fact the it felt like your broke somthing and the way that the pedal is lower than normal, leads me to...

It sounds like something crazy. Let me see if I've got this straight. When the car is on and idling, can you (without pushing the clutch) put it into gear? If so, can you put it into any gear? Get back to us.Kent

I'll tell you right now that the one you are holding in your hand (from the laser) is meant for an external (air to oil) oil cooler. The one on your car has the water to oil cooler. Sure the one from the laser will fit on your motor but you will have to get the oil cooler, lines, and banjo...

I have about a 75/25 water/antifreeze mixure in there and redline water wetter. Up til this point I've done everything conventional to protect against overheating. Has anyone ever heard of or used radiator flow restrictors in a dsms or any similar cars?Kent

Have you even done a compression check or a leak down test on the motor? Do all of the cylinders have low compression or is it one specific one? It could be rings, valves, or a headgasket if there truely is low compression. Get back to us.Kent

Yea dude, everything is new in the cooling system...cap, t-stat, rad, fans, waterpump, etc. Plus, I am not losing coolant into the reservoir.Kent

Ok so I live in southern AZ and keeping my car cool and running the AC have been big deals for me. So I've been doing some diagnostics on the car and found that sitting at idle in my garage the thing gets up to about 210 and stays around there (seems normal). Put the ac on it will raise up to...

I went to see at 12:01 am the day it came out because I was so excited. I thought it was best Batman movie ever. And I think that Bale is the best Bruce Wayne ever. I agree that they did a great job casting the film exept what's her face.KentOh yea, and equalibrium is just about the...

The one in the middle on the left is for the oil filter housing. The round orange one looks like an front main seal. I think the crazy looking one down in the lower left is for the aluminum piece that holds the rear seal but you'll want to look into it more. As far as the copper crush washers...

I saw it last night at midnight...bad ass! But that movie was by far the darkest of all of the Star Wars movies. I was a little disappointed by episodes I and II but I just try to remember that they were filled with a lot of politics and stuff because that is how the story was. I just try to...

Ok I have a 2g with a 6 bolt in it and I am leaking oil like an sob because I got a cheap, used, stock oil pan. Anyway, I was looking at this OBX oil pan on ebay. Now I know that OBX/SS Auto Chrome doesn't have the best reputation but I'm really turned on by this one because it has a nice...

Ok so DMB is one of my favorite bands but I really feel like they have changed their style too much in their last two CDs. Busted stuff was the last CD that was good in my opinion. Some Devil wasn't that great and the brand new one Stand Up was a real disappointment. I was really excited...

Maybe ebay went down for a second or something cause it works fine now.Kent

This thing only has 27 original miles on it! That guy would be better off to put it in the next Barrett Jackson auction. Amazing!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...Kent

kpt4321 (my hero) says that a good baseline correction setting for 650's is about -18% across the boards and then tune from there. This is his bad ass guide. Good Luck.Kent

When we start our cars the ecu is in open loop. In open loop control, the sequence of commands in the programming of the ecu is controlling the engine irrespective of the consequences, as apposed to closed loop where the system involves feedback from sensors on the engine to ensure that proper...

You get a Dejon tool intake way cheaper than an Injen one and its just as good. (Dejon Tool 1g intake link) Plans to run a blow thru setup and vent is fine but until you get all that you should recirculate. You can always just put a cap on the intake later when start venting.

Agreed, usually just an LED light show.Kent

I don't know man, I had A/F ratio and boost gauges from them before and they didn't hold up. The boost gauge just decided to break one day and the a/f guage wasn't accurate/specific enough for me. I wouldn't recommend them.Kent

The transmission will bolt right up. The head will bolt right up too but the bolt holes need to be bored out slightly. Other modifications include the wiring of the 1g cas. (Find more here)Other than that, you should be good. And don't forget that if you have any questions, ask them...
