I have no idea where to put this, but today/tonight we celebrate the land/brewer signing of the Guinness factory. This is marked by the release of a new Guinness brew. It's much lighter than the original Guinness, however is nearly just as delicious. I drank A LOT of it tonight, and suggest you...

So I bought a Magnus intake manifold from Magnus in Canada, and now UPS wants to charge me another $37 for Government Charges and Brokerage Charges? I already paid $35 in shipping. Not to mention I received the manifold 3 months ago. Has this happened to anyone else?

Well, took my drive shaft to a local clutch/driveline repairer because I though just the carier bearings were gone, turns out my uv's are twisted and my lobro or whatever joint needs to be rebuilt :barf: . He said it was around 750 for a complete overhaul :barf: of the shaft. But now that I...

Well the PVC rubber coupler just isn't cutting it. They either blow off the cap or blow a hole in What have others used for a 4" boost leak tester? I'd hate to spend 60 bucks on a 4" t-bolt clamp and silicon coupler.

We all know the 1g aluminum fin wheels to become engoulfed with corrions and dirt. The ugly late 80's look without the mullet. Well I got tired of looking at that ugly finish. Decided to give them, a little different look.BeforeIn the processI started off by...

Due to some recent inquireing and research I want to make a poll consisting of people who have rebuild ANY DSM engine, 6 bolt, early 7 bolt, or late 7 bolt and their experiences with post crankwalk.

Ive got my motor out for a rebuild and I'm trying to get the engine bay looking clean. The paint in the engine bay is comming off when I spray degreaser on it, and it needs to be re-painted anywhoo. Any tips on what to do? What kind of paint should I use? So far I have the wireing harneses...

Finaly got the head almost all finished up. Now I just need to match the ports together with the intake and exhaust manifold. The exhaust side still looks a little rough around the edges, but it will all get cleaned up. I have right about 20hours into the porting, polishing and fixing it up(1/2...

Well, after a few logs with DSMLink and messing around with ALOT of other things I am begining to come to a conculuision for why my car runs like shit under boost. Right as I start comming into heavy boost all is well, but as hit full boost it is bogging down and runs very strange. My profile is...

Just as the title states I am having problems with coolant blowing out of the overflow canister under heavy boost. Right when I put a new Koyo radiator in it started doing it. I have made sure that all of the air pockets in the cooling system are gone and it still does it every time. I run 19psi...

Just a quick verification question. Where are you guys taping into a '90 oil filter housing for your turbo's oil. The left for right fitting? I just want to double check that I have tapped into fresh clean oil. Thanks.

I recently brought this up on a local board, and I'm wondering how this board feels/knows about possibly using a Wilwood Master Cylinder in our cars. I have been aiding in my friends LS1 RX-7 swap the past month and have seen that he will be using one of these master cylinders on his car (the...

I have a set of crower springs and ti retainers and am wondering if they will still work well with the 280 cams. I plan on reving this motor out to 8.5k, will the crower springs be enough?

I hope someone can help me out here. If you are running FP2 cams, what are the markings on the shafts?The used cams that I just purchesed don't have any real distinctive markings on them to tell me that they are FP cams.The markings on the Intake cam are (RB, 07, 0, and 13) The...

Im just curious what kind of timming people are running. I can't seem to get my base timming bellow 13 degrees (adv) at idle. Is that normal? These readings are from DSMlink. Im getting 32 degrees (adv) when im crussing, is this normal? Every thing seems a little high to me. However my TPS...

I no longer want the hassle of the IAC/FAIV, and would rather them be completely off the throttle body then just to pull the plugs and coolant lines from them. Is there anything else I would have to change in order to use a 91-throttle body? My 90 CAS is leaking oil where the wires come out...

Well, I went to start up the car this morning and was denied. I have spark, and fuel pressure. I’ve done a little research on the MPI relay/control and from what I have read they can go bad, and can cause a no start situation. It has been clicking and making all sorts of funny noises too. Also...

When I started my car this morning it ran for a little while, but then died and would not start up again. I ended up just taking another vehicle to work because I didn't have time to dick around with it. When I got back, I though I would take a look at the plugs. When I pulled them out all of...

Do the 1.8 shafts share similar characteristics at the 2.0 shafts? They seem to be identical, but I don't want to get a 2.0 block off set if they are not the same. Thanks alot

Has anyone ever had any experience with www.vulcantire.com, there prices are pretty good, but it is an online purchases only store. Im looking for a set of Falken ZE-512 ZIEX and they have a very atractive price.

I'm trying to find out the widest tire you can fit on a stock 1g wheel. I have been looking all over and am not having much luck. I just picked up a set of stock wheels and have been tire shopping the past couple of days. I know that the stock tire size is a 205/55R16, but I'm wondering if...

I'm having a hard time finding a place that has the part numbers for PTE/Delphi 780cc injectors. The reason being is because bought a set of injectors off ebay and I want to make sure that they are infact 780's. The numbers printed on the tops are 7014 and 17113742. There are more markings on...

I have just finished rebuilding my motor. I bored it .20 over, wiesco pistons, scat rods, ported head, nitrated valves, and a bunch of other goodies. I went to get on it tonight, and the turbo lag was something awful. I had pressure tested for boost leaks and had none prior to this. It was...

While I was putting my engine back in, I noticed that my mounts are shot. I'm just wondering how bad would it be if I drove the car around for a few weeks before I replace them?

All I have to say is god damn. I got to ride in that car and it was nuts! Goes from 10 to 180 in about 15 seconds on low boost! Its prolly one of the coolest sounding cars ever! I think this might give the AMS EVO a run for its money :D Right Click Save Target As

I picked up a n/t head for my 90 turbo. Is there any major difference between the two? I will be having quite a bit of work done on the head like porting, new valves ect. Are there any conserns that I should have with the n/t head on a turbo?

My alignment dowels didn't make it when I took them out of the block before I had it decked. Does anyone happen to know the part# for them?? Thanks

Im in a delema right now. I can't decied where to send/buy my head from, and what all to have done to it. Im re-building my motor right now, and the cylinder head is in need of some help. The valves are burnt and everything is just a mess. Im looking to make in the ball park of 300-400 hp on...

I don't know if this is a repost, but me and my friend are having a very long discution on this. He keeps saying that the Viper looks better, performs better, and have more sex appeal. I on the other hand am more of the new Z06 fan. I think it has a much sleaker design, and come on...a SEVEN...

Ok, I went to start my car the other day and it cranked, but never fired. I busted out the timming light and I had no spark. I removed the coil pack to test and got way confused :confused:. My car is definatly a 90, due to the fact that every other thing I've replaced on the car has has the...

Im wondering what kind of gas mileage everyone gets on the forums. I myself get about 18 mpg in the city, and 24 mph on the high way.

Well, after 3 months it finaly came! Welds are excellent, and piping is very high quality. Pros Excellent welds Thick flange 4 bends in entire system, none surpassing 90 Sounds mean as hell Payed 780 shipped for a full system! Cons Packaging was terable Took 3 months to arrive Flex...

As said in title, if i give it a little throttle, say to 1500rpms or so, it will shoot up to 4k and bounce back and fourth between 4k and 3k(just the tach, not the motor), then it goes back down. Sometimes when it goes back down, it will try and idle at what seems like 100rpms. i think it...

Can I get a front mount please. I wanna see what it will look like with, and with out the fogs. Thanks guys!

Just to let you guys know, tonight I have my Eagle Scout board of review. For those of you who don't know, this is the very last step one must take to acheive the Eagle rank. Im really pumped up about this as my aplications have been looked over for the past 4 months. Hopefuly this can help...

My local speed shop is having another dyno day so im thinking about removing my driveshaft and transfer case so I can get on the 2wd dyno. Has anyone eles done this? Is there any long term effects on the viscous cupling for not having any resistance in turning? Any input would be great!

I just replaced my alternator(the old one stopped charging), and when I first start my car, the alternator light comes on and stays on for around 10 min, then it goes away. I don't know why it does this, but it is starting to get on me nerves. Any idea as to what the problem might be?

Ok, my valve cover gasket was leaking really bad, so I decided to replace it. I got the gasket replaced with no leaks, but then I drove it around for a little, and it started to idle surge*never used to happen*. Then I got on it a couple of times, only to hit a fuel cut*never used to happen*...

Cool video that some of my friends and I took at the local speed shop on their dyno day. http://www.videocartel.com/videos/eppfinal.mpg Nothing but the finest from EPP!

I now hold my own personal record for droping my brothers 1.8 litre tranny in an hour and 25 minutes. That includes removal of clutch and flywheel. I don't mean to be an ass, but I though that was pretty damn good. Here are some pics. What are some of your guys records?

Yehyyy!!! I finily fixed it. Inguals adjustable upper control arms from MachV. Highly recomended for you 1st gen AWD guys who have lowered their cars and have bad camber as a resualt. Went on real easy, and are very very easy to adjust for a track day. The first pic is before, the others are...

Well other that keeping my DSM up to par, this is my other project. This is my dads 1971 Stingray Covette. He has owned this since 1979, and for the past 12 years it has sat in our garage. When we first moved to Indiana in 1990 he and some of our neighbors took out the race 350 in it, and...
