  1. Removing Windshield Wipers?

    Mine look awful and I'd like top slap a coat of flat black paint on them, but I'm not sure how to get them off (not the blades, but the whole wiper assembly). If anyone knows how to do this I'd appreciate it if they shared their insights so that I don't have to lay towels all over the car and do...
  2. 2g Manual Rack/ power steering removal

    I dug up some old threads in which it was recommened to turn the wheels left and right to drain the rack following a power steering system removal and I wanted first hand impressions of how difficult the car is to drive at low speed without power steering.Once again, I'm looking for people...

  5. Ft. Wayne SCCA October 1st

    Melissa and I had a chance to head over to Kruse Auction Park this morning to catch some of the local SCCA action and practice some panning technique. Kyle's run group hits the track around 3:00 so we may head back to catch some pics of the blue bomber in action. In the meantime, here's a few...
  6. Slow Spool on the 2.3

    I'm opening this thread as an advanced discussion to try and figure out why I'm having spool issues on a stroker with only a medium sized turbo. You can review my mod list to see exactky what's in the motor. Trust me it's not all that much.At the moment, I see full spool at 4400-4600 RPM...
  7. Losing power through the clutch?

    I was wondering if some experienced drivetrain gurus can offer their opinions on my question. I know that my clutch (ACT 2100) is poorly matched to my 2.3/50 trim combination but funds don't allow me to change the clutch at the moment. If I run it at 25 psi with 12 degrees of timing, I don't...

We're often busy contributing in as many threads as possible so please understand that our time can be limited. You should always go through the following...
  9. DSM Used Car Buyer's Guide

    I often see tons of questions posted about used DSM's for sale and what to look for. While this guide is not intended to deal with every possible scenario, it will give you a strong baseline for what to look for in used car. The key is to be your meticulous and make sure that you're getting what...
  10. Shimming a TiAL Wastegate

    Like the title says, I have a 38mm external on my 50 trim and while I love the rock solid boost, my current spring setup is good for 21-22 psi. Unfortunately, another spring change will only net me 23 psi so it's not worth it. I'd rather run without a boost controller since the gate is so...
  11. Appearance Mods and Getting Opinions

    I've seen an increasing number of threads where people will post a picture of a wing, bodykit or gauges and ask others whether they think it's ricey or if it looks good. While it's all well and good to ask the opinions of others, I feel that too many of our members live and die by the opinions...
  12. Loud Rattle Under Valve Cover

    Hey all,It seems that when I fix one noise the motor's making (yes the pinhole airleak noise is banished), I come up against another one.In any event, I'm getting a loud rattle under the valve cover near #1 cylinder (closest to the T-belt). I can make the noise occur by free revving the...
  13. Out of Fuel with 650's on a 16G?

    Hi All,I've been having some tuning issues lately and while I'm to the stage where I could use some help. This is going to be pretty long so please be patient when reading. Here's the current setup:Big 16G - 25psi Walbro 190 FIC 650's Comp 200 Camps Dejon Sidemount 2.25" Upper and...
  14. Trouble holding boost - Big 16G and Comp 200's

    Howdy All,I've been banterting back and forth with Mike and Jon at Slowboy and also with my fellow wisemen about an issue I'm having with holding boost on my Big16G since the Comp 200's went in. Prior to the cam install, I had shimmed the wastegate actuator and she held 26psi like a champ...

    For all of the newer members out there, I understand that we have so much information on the site that it can be difficult to weed through the numerous threads that come up when a search is used. To that end, I'd like to share the manner in which I search, which makes life much easier and...
  16. Wire Type for Clutch Mod?

    Howdy All,I'm going to be doing the clutch wire mod to take advantage of NLTS in my chip. I was wondering if someone could tell me the correct type and gauge of wire to buy (from a local Radio Shack).Thanks in advance,Andy
  17. Hot Upper Radiator Hose

    Ever since I bought my car, I've noticed that the upper radiator hose is hot to the touch, while the lower radiator hose is cooler. I've replaced the radiator cap and the motor is not using any coolant. Temperatures never go above 1/2 on the temperature gauge. Is this something to be concerned...
  18. Into the 12's - Finally

    I managed to hit the track tonight. Air temp was around 70 degrees and the wind was fairly mild at 10 mph across the track. The grip was so good that with 40 psi in the tires, the car bogged horribly at 5000 RPM on the line for the first run with a 2.16 60'. I ended up missing second and simply...
  19. Optimal A/F Ratio Followup

    For those of you who jumped in on my last thread about tuning for an optimal A/F ratio, thank you for your help and guidance in teaching me the basics of fuel tuning and also helping me to understand the nature of octane relative to detonation. In any event, I have a follow up for all of you...
  20. Optimal A/F Ratio? (quite long)

    I was wondering if some of you more experienced tuners could give me your feedback in an attempt to solve some of the issues I'm having. Here's the short mod list to save you timeBig 16G at 20psi Stock SMIC Full 3" exhaust with 3" high flow cat ACT 2100 w/chromoly flywheel FIC 550cc...
  21. Changing Boost Guage

    Howdy Everyone,I have an Autometer 30-0-20 boost gauge and since I'll be running more than 20 psi at the track on race fuel, I want to swap the gauges out. I was wondering if this was a simple matter of hooking up the old connections to the new gauge or is there something else i need to do...
  22. Conflicting EGT Information (Very Long)

    I'm hoping that some of you more experienced tuners can give me a hand in understanding what is correct for my setup. Let me preface this by saying that I am fully aware that an EGT is not a tuning device since high readings can be seen by running rich or lean. Anyway, let me post my setup and...
  23. Help with Coilover Adjustment

    Howdy All,When I bought my GSX, the previous owner had installed a set of Skunk2 coilovers on Tokico Illuminas. The car is set up more for drag launching with the front about 1" lower than the rear. In any event, I'd like to lower the rear by 1" and then have all four aligned, but I didn't...
  24. Determining Injector Size?

    Hey guys,My 98 GSX came with number of mods installed by the previous owner and some have been "surprises" in a good way. At the moment, I'm running a 16G (not sure if it's big or small) on what are supposed to be stock injectors and a Walbro 190 (had that put in myself). I have a sneaking...
  25. Ugly Gauge Faces

    Hi Guys,When I bought my GSX, the previous owner had installed white faced gauges in the car and while they look fine in the daytime, they look lousy at night when they turn green. Is this a result of the bulbs he used or is it the gauge faces themselves that create the green glow. I'd like...
  26. DSMChips Problem

    I had a 95 EPROM ECU installed in my GSX today and while everything works beautifully, I'm having an issue in that the car is always on the stutterbox, which is only supposed to be active when the car's completely stopped. The problem is that as soon as I hit any of the stutterbox RPMS while...
  27. 2G 95 EPROM ECU in a 98 GSX

    I'm having Jeff from DSMChips burn me a custom EPROM and send me a 95 ECU as a complete package.He mentioned that on my 98, I'd have to switch plug wire 1 with 2 and 3 with 4.For those of you who have done this, is it a matter of simply changing them on the coil? Also, looking from left to...
  28. Cooler Thermostats?

    I'm looking for some feedback from you guys on changing out my thermostat on my GSX. I'm currently running a 16G on the stock fuel setup and have the boost dialed to 16 psi (tuned by Buschur). My EGT's run fine at cruise (1350) and I never peg the needle under full boost. My goals aren't to turn...
  29. Adjusting Headlights?

    Anyone know how to do this on a 2G? My passenger side headlight is quite low compared to the driver's side and it makes night visibility a bit difficult.Any help would be appreciated.
  30. Timing Belt Longevity

    I was wondering f some of you could tell me how long you've run on a timing belt before replacement on your 420A's. My car has 126K miles on it and I did the first change at 65K and was thinking that this thing was likely about to go in the next 5 or 6K miles, but after ripping off the safety...
