I'm in the process of putting a new front mount intercooler on my GSX (short story... fell off a jack and crushed the core, stupid mistake). When I pulled the damaged one off I saw that I left the black plastic radiator duct in place between the intercooler and the radiator. It looks like I...
I just went to the ecmlink.com website and it says they've run out of chips and don't have plans to get new ones. This was really sad for me to hear. I wanted to finally upgrade to DSMLink but now it looks like it's not an option?I've been tuning my DSM for over 15 years using a dsmchips ecu...
My BISS screw keeps vibrating/moving its way into my throttle body. Luckily it's tightening instead of loosening and falling out! It keeps going in all the way and thus my idle is too low and the car will die. It's easily fixed by me getting out, opening the hood, loosening the screw. What do...
I was wondering what the difference is between the injen intake system and the k&n FIPK? Is there much of a power difference? I found the FIPK for $110... is it a better deal, or does anyone know where i can get the injen for cheap? I have a goal of about 300 hp on either a t28 or a 16g (in the...
Hi guys. I've had my GSX for about 5 years now, and it's deffinitely time for new springs/struts/shocks. What do you recommend as a good suspension combination that's around $500? It's mostly street driving, and lots of time on the curvy roads in the mountains...
I know ebay links are frowned upon, but it was the only place I could get a picture... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33631&item=2446420375what do you all think about this? I've found it on a couple of websites for about $150.

It's been a long time since I researched about injectors.... I'm pretty sure I know the answer but are injectors swappable between 1g cars and 2g cars?
Ok, I remember a long time ago I saw a faq about fixing the rattle when closing a 2g door with the window down.I didn't think much of it because mine didn't rattle, but now they do and I can't figure out what to do. Does anyone have any insight? I couldn't find it searching or using vfaq.
Will this help cure my extra/excessive crankcase pressure?http://www.roadraceengineering.com/instructions/catchcaninstructions.htmI know it's not from the rings b/c I did a compression test and the rings were awesome (adding oil only upped my compression 10-12 psi per cylinder...) My...
On wednesday I went to the local 1/8th mile track and raced "heads up" all night. I got 8 runs in and for only 15 dollars I think that's pretty decent.Best run:
8.67@82mph w/ a 1.9 60-ftnot very impressiveFor those of you who are unaware, I'm running a 60-1 at 20psi on a...
Allright guys, my friend in town has a 240sx with an sr20 swap in it and tons of upgrades. He's getting a bigger turbo and redoing his engine management/fuel setup and offered to sell me his injectors. They are 720cc and he only wants a hundred bucks for them. The question is will they be direct...
Just like the title says. My brother is getting a 3000gt VR-4 (newer than a 93 or whatever year they switched to fixed headlights...) and I am about to sell my GSX and we were wondering if the wheels would swap over and fit on the VR-4.
Just like the title says. Is there a point where an engine is too built for daily use?I am asking this because a mechanic in town has told the parents (I'm 19 and driving 5 hours back and forth to college) that my engine is overbuilt. He said that it is not safe for highway driving. He...
This is my buddy chris' sr20 swapped 240. The black car is from 2-3 years ago, and the white one is from this summer. The white car was rolled 2 weeks ago though, so the engine and anything salvagable is going into a red 240 now. This will be his 4th 240... lol.http://rap.midco.net/jprosper/
I've got a 1g bov that I'm using right now, but I'm looking to get one that can hold at least 30psi. I cant get a TIAL BOV because it has to recirculate, so what's the best one out there? Money is not really a big issue.
I've done a bunch of searching, but only came up with results of how to build your own link to use a logger in a 1g. Does anyone know where one can be purchased that is already made. I'm talking about the part that the serial cable from the palm plugs into and the other end hooks up to the car...
I need bigger injectors. I've got a line on some 720's. I know that the safc is capable of going to -50, which is enough (more than enough) to compensate for the injectors, but I've heard some things about timing being affected along with other things when you have the afc set so far from zero...
Well guys, this weekend I finally finished my fiascoe which some would call rebuilding my engine. You can see in my mods what was done... Before I had a completely stock engine w/ a BIG28 @ 17psi. Now I'm running 20psi with teh 60-1 on the stroker. THe engine runs really strong. It pulls hard...
One of my friends said he'd sell me an HKS EVC IV for about $160. I was wondering what your views are on this EBC (those of you that have used them...) How much boost does it hold? Do you have any problems? Thanks.Chris
I'm just wondering if anyone heard about the riots 2 nights in a row at CSU this weekend? Here's a link... crazy folks down there in colorado!http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=873a7236-0abe-421a-0124-3db521e5d6c6&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf

My belhousing broke... it's a long story but basically the output shaft snapped clean off. Does anyone know where I can purchase another one. I've checked all of the junkyards within 100 miles and nobody has one. I've got a 1995 GSX made in March of '95.
I'm just checking to see what everyone likes/dislikes about their stroker setups. I just finished buiding my motor 3 days ago, and have about 300 miles on it. I haven't taken it past 3500 rpm yet, but the low end torque is great. What kind of turbos, injectors, management, etc are you stroker...
Ok, first of all I want nobody saying what a crime it is to put in another 7 bolt...I got a killer deal on a 93 7 bolt complete engine at a local junk yard (275 dollars) so I decided to use it as my new motor for my gsx. I would like to let everyone know that it is super easy. Everything...
OK, my 2.3L conversion is about done... all I need is a 1g CAS and my clutch. The question is what would be a good turbo to run on my 2.3L stroker? I've got 720cc injectors, which I hope not to sell. So.... what turbo on a 2.3L w/ 720's to spool under 3300rpm?
Ok, I'm building a 2.3L on a 93 block. I've lost all of my links for pistons, and am having the damnedest time finding anything. If anyone has links, part numbers, or anything that'd be great! I am looking to do .020 over.
I'm going to have my entire engine apart for a while here, and have a set if 1g m/t cams lying around. Would it be beneficial at all to swap them into my 2g head? Is there any difference between the two sets of cams?
I'm putting a 1g 7 bolt into my 2g (I know I know... I got it for 300 bucks for the whole engine...) I will keep my 2g head though b/c it's ported and has good valves and springs. With the 1g bottom end do I need to switch crank sensors? cam sensors? what all needs to be switched to make this...
Hi everyone. As some of you know, my bottom end went out. I was planning on doing a 6 bolt swap, but I can't get ahold of one for less than 1700 around here. Yesterday when I was searching the scrap yards I found a 93 turbo engine complete form teh throttle body to the 02 housing for 300 bucks...
Hello fellas. Last night I had the unfortunate happening of spinning a rod bearing. What exactly do I need to do to fix this? If it includes much work on the crank I was thinking of maybe doing a 2.3L stroker crank w/ the other stuff...The question is, I guess... what other stuff do I need...
I'm looking for first hand experience. I don't want to know what you heard, or what happened to some guy. I want real stories and factual information. I have an option to pick some up for $180 and am trying to decide if it's a good deal.
It has come to my attention that the EVO VIII injectors are 550cc, a friend of mine has some and I was wondering if they will work in my car w/ the dsmlink I'm ordering next week?
If one were to remove the wastegate from an internally gated turbo, as to make it so the hole is always open, and exhaust is always flowing through the wastegate hole, what would happen? I would assume that little or no boost could be made, but would this affect gas milage? Would the car still...
I just installed a 92 TB onto my car. Ported everythign out... bla bla. I swapped the sensors over, and correctly redid the vacuum lines and coolant lines. The first time I tried to start it it fired right up. I let it idle for about 5 minutes, the gave it a quick rev to about 5000 rpm ( all in...
Howdy folks.
I've got an Eprom ECU in my car and am going to upgrade to either 550cc or 660cc injectors soon. I plan on getting the DSMLink setup, because it seems to be my best option. I have a couple questions for those of you who use it though...Do I need anything else like a logger or...
I'm looking to swap a 1g throttle body to my 95gsx and would like to hear from some of you who've done it... How hard? How long? Did it make much difference? Is it much harder to do a complete throttle body/intake manifold swap? Exactly which throttle bodies work? I like to consider myself a...
I was just watching a commercial on the Discovery channel, and they are doing a show on real street racing. They find 2 cars who are illegally racing, take them to a shop to fix them up and make them faster, then have them race at a track. Bets involved and everything. The first episode is this...
Has anyone used these cams? I may be able to pick them up for around $300... is that a good deal? I know everyone says HKS 264/272's but how do these compare? Thanks guys!Crower Cams on Nopi website
The back of my autometer egt has a couple of sets of wires coming out... There's the black/white wires for the light, and the red/black wires for the gauge itself. I have the black/white wires hooked up so that the gauge lights up when the car is on.Q?: Is it ok to just connect the red/black...
