well ive had a 1g crushed bov sitting around that a friend gave me because he had an extra, and I ordered the flange so I can install it on my 2g, but I went and got my 1g bov out from where it was sitting and somehow the gasket on the bottom kinda bent out.almost half of it is hanging off...

Searched and cant find anything.When I was performing my leakdown last time a ton of air was coming out of the BISS screw when I sprayed soapy water on it, as well as a part of the gasket.Is this screw supposed to just unscrew out? or does the throttle body need to be taken apart? We...

Well sadly the day finally arrived last night...ive been waiting for this to happen, but the car ran good for over a year so i cant complain.Basically, my cars a peice. its always been a peice, I knew this but I planned on modding the crap out of it. Well as time goes on, sometimes you think...

Noticed this problem, its not a huge deal nor does it happen 100% of the time but it leaves me wondering.Basically if I get on the car, sometimes when I let off it will stall coming down. the harder I get on it the more chance of this happening but its still never 100%. While the rpm are...

posting here because I feel like a noob for not researching turbos enough yet, so im looking for some opinions. move the thread if need be.My future plans I would like to have at least 500 awhp on pump gas, so were talking fully built race motor, trans...everything. it will be a nice car...

Anyone know of matching gauge setups, preferably in black/red?The only good gauges I know in black/red is defi-d's and they look more amber, although I could change the LED if I really wanted to.Trying to stay away from autometer.Also I cant find anything for the stock gauge faces...

Well found out why my car is so turdly slow, I hooked up the stuff for a leak down test and guess how much psi I can hold.....2! ROFLI found some small leaks on the bov gasket and weld to the pipe, and I also found some small leaks on the throttle body on the (I think) idle screw and a...

well, when I originally got the car one of the bolts was stripped, it would tighten down to an extent but then just losen back up. at the start it wasnt that big of deal, hardly leaked any oil (could see all the gunk going down the engine from that spot) but now of coarse its getting a lot...

Hope this isnt a repost but my friend found this, thought it was kinda funny lol.http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=555607

So i ordered a cheapo air filter + maf adapter ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7955475666&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT ) for my talon a while ago and decided to just put it on today since itd only take a minute.so I get the air box out and of coarse the...

Wondering if anyone bothers giving their car a good detail when they live down a dirt road.Ive never cleaned a car THAT well, but im going to do it when it gets nice out, since my car looks like crap :thumbdownMy question is if I did a complete meguiars or zaino detail would it keep...

Ive had this thing sitting around for almost a year now, I originally bought it because it was a FM pager system instead of normal crappy signals, but I dont think I can get as many sensors as id like.Anyone ever use one of these? Im wondering if I should install it or just sell it and get...

hey im leaving in about 15 minutes and wont be on a computer untill tomarrow. I tried searching hastily but havent really found it and I need it quick. once answered you can delete/lockI want to run to the hardware store while im out and I want to do a leak down test tonight, I need a couple...

I installed a fidanza short shifter on friday and im just wondering what this peice is called.Mine somehow got stretched apart and I cant get it back to normal tightness so my shifter is all wobbly in neutral so I need to know what to search/ask for when buying or getting another one.FYI...

Ive searched and read the section on it in the faq but it still doesnt really give a specific answer....it always just talks about how loud an external gate is and how people want sound clips...So anyway, Im going to need an exhaust eventually here, and I like to plan ahead so I only have to...

Im hoping im allowed to post a thread like this, if not go ahead and lock it.Anyway my buddy has quite a few turbos laying around and there is one thats larger then most of the others (others are 1g and 2g stock turbos and some honda turbos) so if we can use this turbo on my car and get it...

Assuming im correct to the fact that spending $140 on a air filter and intake pipe is useless at this stage, im wondering about air filters.Cant seem to find anything but has anyone noticed any difference between a $20 universal filter vs a $120 K&N filter?Ive never been a big K&N fan...

I still need to talk to people about a good shop around here but im wanting to ask you guys what your prices were so I know what to expect.Im thinking about doing a FULL eclipse conversion (sunroof, bumpers, sideskirts, paint) and getting my strut tower area rust fixed. If the cost of doing...

Putting this in here instead of newbie section because I figure ill get legit answers in this forum.Ive been searching my butt off all morning but not finding much besides a headache so its time to just ask.I decided to get DSM link but its obviously going to be a good idea to have a...

Well after reading the opinion on dsmlink thread I kind of saw a fine line in there.Lets say this,im building a fully built engine. rods, pistons, fully done head, built trans, probly something like a 56 trim turbo blah blah blah.The car will put down a lot of power.Im not trying...

Damn this car gives me more of a headache then most and ive hardly even modded it!Anyways, im usually on here complaining about my car (95 TSi 5 speed).This time im wondering you guys think I should replace it or just work with it. My friends arent really sure what I should do, so...

me and my friend were talking and a question arose we are not sure the answer of.We were talking about building up a motor and doing a 6 bolt swap on a 2g.The thing is, will a exhaust bought for a 2g car, still fit up to it if im using a 6bolt block and head? what if im using a 2g head...

ok the talon has to last me untill the snow goes away at least, and its been running ok untill yesterday.I know these engines dont like cold so a few things that have started I didnt mind to much since they left when the car warmed up.Things that happened when cold but eventually left...

Is the stock exhaust on a 2g 2.5" ? Im thinking it is but someone said its 2.25". I bought a 2.5" test pipe and dont want to go to get it installed and look like an idiot with the wrong part.

Considering just replacing my old clogged cat with a test pipe, this will be the only replaced peice of exhaust (need 2.5" right?) will it make it really loud? or will it remain almost as low as stock, I know it will be somewhat louder.

Well im going to be selling my car when it comes time for spring. It has some things wrong with it that im going to start fixing (try to get done before winter).Ill just keep it to the parts here that pertain to the drivetrain.I think my clutch is bad, the guy before me had a big turbo...

Anyone know why usually when I fill up my tank all the way my car starts to smell like gas? Its coming from under the back seat, because under them it smelled like gas,so I took it out, filled my tank, and it smelled like gas in my car again.

well....yesterday me and sakrafice were working on our cars, we decided we should FINALLY install my 1g bov so I could up the boost a little.I had a flange, we go and got a pipe, welded it up, made it look clean, hooked it up, tightened alot of connections and things. Took it out for a...

This will sound really noob but I havent gotten into this are THAT much so im not a pro.Basically what i want is something that will look nice, and perform good. I like the car to be low, but not low enough to where I cant drag race, but not so high it looks stupid. I also want the car to be...

well i cant find much on them, and from what im seeing its a 97-99 thing also. But the black dash....mmmm....I want one really bad, but the only ones I see are also tan, so its black/tan.Most of my interior will end up gutted anyway, but id like my dash, and maybe center console to be all...

http://www.commandoalarms.com/itm30032.htmWell ive had this for a while, seems pretty sweet, not to expensive, goes on FM, and you can make it go 2 miles in range if you buy a special thing for it, but heres what I need to know.I want an alarm with a half a million sensors on it, so its...

well my car had some tokico blues on it when it came, but with how rigged this car is who knows whats wrong with it that I havent found yet.anyways, sometimes when I go over certain kind of bumps, I hear a wierd clunging noise, like a pipe or something under the car is bouncing and smacking...

been thinking about doing this, because I want to keep my car a talon, but I hate the front end smirk, the back end isnt to bad, ive considered a 97 talon rear, but I dunno.so anyone do this and have pics?

yea....you read the title.im not sure whats going on here, but my 95 TSi isnt that much faster then my buddies 96 ESI. its kind of sad, my car has a home made boost controller and it goes to about 12.5 psi because I got the 2gbov so it leaks. The car also had magnacore wires on it when I...

ok this is wierd and im not quite sure what it is, im no expert on steering/handling topics.anyways this started not to long ago, but when I come out of a turn sometimes instead of the wheel smoothly straightening itselt out, it will kind of hop, like go up a little, down slightly, repeat...

Ok, ive was in a hurry to get some parts to get things together in my car, one of them of a a-pillar pod. I wanted a full replacement, just pop the old one out, pop the new one in.well I go to * * * because I cant wait 2 weeks to get one online, so they order me one from autometer, and it...

was workin on my car yesterday, and was running the wired for my gauges.I was running the wires for the a/f gauge to the spots shown in the articles section about it.now im using those t connectors, but I might not have the signal one in there 100% good. I hooked up the wires just so see...

gonna get a custom exhaust made up for me, but before I call the place im getting it done at, I need to know what exactly to tell them I need.I want a full turbo back, but I dont think thats what I tell them. Id say I need it made from the O2 housing back right? or from the turbo manifold...

ok couple of quick questions, im about to install my mbc, and im looking at http://www.belitski.com/cars/talonmods/turbo/vfaqhallman.html on doing it, but it mentions using hose plugs that came with the hallman kit, anyone know what size/type of plugs these are and where to get them?also...

ok I got my flange from slowboy, and its just a plate that bolts onto the bottom of the bov, but my question before I install is isnt there supposed to be a tube or something coming down to fit into the stock plastic pipe? or does it slide over the pipe? not sure on what to do, ive tried...

this will sound really dumb, feel stupid for even posting but I cant find the answer.Im building a 6bolt up for my 2g, but want to buy all the bolt ons that I can for my 7bolt that will be able to change over to the 6 when I get that in.one of the main boltons is a intake pipe, but there...

Was thinking about going to shop to get a exhaust made up for me instead of buying one because itd be cheaper, and was wondering if anyone has ever had a 3" t-back straight pipe (well, straight as possible) with a N1 muffler on it.is it to loud? dont want to get pulled over by the cops.

ok friday was in a big scramble to get a mbc and boost gauge installed before the night time races, but in the process of installing the boost gauge we crimped the tubing up, so we had to cut it off.in a mad attempt to make it work, we connected it to another type of hose for a temp...

well i need to buy some gauges eventually, and the color scheme of my car is red and black, so id like some gauges that are black faced and are able to glow red (via bulb or condom, whatever works)I need a Boost gauge (at least 30psi) a EGT gauge, and a A/F ratio gauge.id also like them...

ok I figured this has been covered already but I guess it hasnt because I searched.A buddy of mine said when he put things like octane booster and fuel injector in his 91 FWD laser it would always make his car run like crap, he used them right and anything he just said his car didnt like it...

tried searching, but like always I suck at it or there isnt anything.but RnR has that deal on the turbo backs and id really like to get in on it while it lasts, since i hear they are extremely good exhausts.but 2 questions, if I get a turboback for a 2g AWD, will it be able to fit still...

ok well im trying to sell my neon since I got another car, its just a 2001 se, base everything, auto blah blah.it hasnt really ran in 3-4 weeks, and its about 150mi from needing an oil change, and someone comes to look at it and we start the car and I hear a noise, and it really sounds like...

im sure this has been covered but I really cant find it.Im wondering if I took a 1g head and rebuilt it with fresh oem parts, and did a mild port/polish to it, how much hp should it be able to take without crapping out on me?
