I'm interested in painting/smoking the amber section of my tails black and leaving the red as it is. If anyone could just do a quick job to smoke the amber section I would love you forever lol thanks

I recently bought a maft used and I am not sure if it is for my 2g or not. The plug on the translator fits into my stock mas plug, but not very well, and i see only 4 metal prongs in the plug where as on the stock piece I see slots for about 6 prongs. Are there any definitive ways to tell the...

Recently just installed a boost gauge in my car since my controller is being shipped and wont be here for a few more days. I ran the car... and at WOT, im spiking at 13psi and holding at 12. With an air filter on stock intake. Right now that is the only mod that I have installed. I thought stock...

beautiful, thanks guys

Hey guys, sorry for posting on such a stupid install but I've searched vfaq, and this site and havent found anything. I'm looking for steps on removing and installing a clutch master cylinder on a 2g. I just want to know what I'm getting myself into before I swap it out.

that cutout in the wastgate hole is for the actual wastegate. Having that extra clearance in there assures that the wastegate will open fully. On a completely roud outlet, it is possible the flapper will hit the o2 housing and only open partially, increasing problems. Not sure on the fitment of...

a wideband is an ACCURATE o2 sensor gauge. The standard air-fuel gauges you see for sale for $60 are garbage, a real a/f gauge is gonna run you around $300 brand new. With dsmlink it isnt completely necessary to have one of these gauges since you can log most of the engine vitals through the...

yea dont listen to DSMark.... dsmlink is an awesome program and can provide many more tools than the safc could ever offer. Although I personally use a safc, I will not be for much longer. The safc is a technological way of hacking the MAS. Although it works to help solve some a/f issues, that...

wow T, I'm absolutely loving Juan's wheels on your car!!! Show me more pics, I've seen them on his 1g, but take some more pics on your car:thumb:

as easy as it would be to reupholster the stockers, it just wont fit my setup. It's gonna cost way too much, and still wont have anywhere for the harnesses to go. I'm pretty big on safety so having the harnesses not held in by the seats is unacceptable. 4pt harnesses, leather reclining race...

yea i'm not exactly the smallest guy either. 6'5" 240lbs.... your starting to scare me, and I really dont want to mess with the brackets too much so now I'm contemplating just reupholstering my stockers with black and gray leather and cutting a hole in the headrest for the harnesses... decisions...

I gotta ditch this crappy gray interior and I want to go with black leather, and want the safety/rigidity of the race harnesses, so race seats were pretty much what I need in order to house the harnesses safely. I really wouldnt want to put 4pt harnesses simply over the seats and have them slip...

Oh alright, so basically you just tap the end of the cam itself for the cas correct? That's exactly the kind of response I was looking for, thank you Andy:thumb:

well sparco's dont even come with the sliders. All that is included in the price is the seat. Sliders are an extra $55, and the bracket is an extra $69. However, I am looking into these random no name seats on ebay that include the sliders, but no bracket. Regardless, if I can reuse some stock...

The website says "*Note: 2nd Generation cars will need to modify these camshafts to accomodate the OEM cam angle sensor* " Any idea exactly what they are referring to here? Not just a guess as to what they mean, I need answers from people with 2g's that have installed these, or people who have...

aftermarket seats come with sliders, I havent found any that have the rails with them also. I can get a set of 1g seats for free, so I figured I would see if I could just rip the brackets off and use them as the rails since my seats didnt come with them and I dont want to pay $100 for a new set...

well basically all I need to know is where the mounting holes line up. If it is something as simple as drilling new holes to get it to bolt onto the 2g chassis then its good to go, but most likely it doesnt seem it will be that easy. Most likely it will be uneven, if you can even get it to bolt...

holy poop its a freakin njdsm reunion...

the reason he said the 14b was faster was because it was running a correct a/f ratio with stock injectors and fuel pump. It is very difficult to just throw injectors in the car and not have anything to tune with. Honestly, if I were you, I would drop the boost down as low as it will go and drive...

You can run about 10-11psi on an evo3 with the boost turned down all the way. On stock injectors you can get by ok as long as you dont pull to redline. You'll hit fuel cut pretty badly with those 450's in there in the upper rpms. You really wont see any incredible gains over the t25 with such a...

Adrian stop talking about all these cars, you dont have your license yet. That green 1g only made that power because it has a 250shot in it. 450whp isnt that hard to do, that car isnt that insanely fast... you dont have to prove anything man, just let it go

yea the more information we have the easier it is to answer the question, but it is going to be tough to get 280-300 out of the car with that stock ic, it is terribly inefficient and will making tuning a nightmare. Also wouldnt be a bad idea to port everything out (manifold, turbo, and 02...

Agreed, follow the power upgrades found here: http://www.dsmtuner.com/tuning-guide/2gturbo/and think about other mods to help that power along: suspension, tires etc. It's not hard to get the turbo to be maximized, just takes a good deal of time and money. Read and learn, spend and mod later...

I dont want to get too far off topic here, but when I had my maft setup, I did not see a great increase over the stock 2g mas (still fairly high flowing unit: it is an upgrade for 1g's). I hated the fact that I had to pop my hood and turn knobs to get my car to idle correctly with every change...

and for the record its converter not controller: taken from the apexi websiteThe Super AFC II (Air Flow Converter) is the industry standard for sub computer fuel control. The S-AFC II is designed to fine tune and "squeeze" power out of existing engine setups by allowing the user to modify...

Thats like the blind leading the blind. Do not bother with the maft. Its a clumsy setup, nearly impossible to tune, and wont give you any real advantage unless your making enough power to outflow the stock maf. Internally gated at 11psi? that only means that the lowest boost you can achieve is...

oh boy, you really should know something about modifying a car before you do it. Honestly, before you do anything else, learn about mods and what they do. A mbc is highly recommended to control boost since you dont have injectors yet. Your going to need an upgraded intercooler since the stocker...

well first of all you probably should have researched this before you bought a turbo upgrade, but there are minimal things your gonna need. However, if you want to make any more power than your stock turbo your going to need a pretty good deal of extra mods. Go to the 'tech guide' section at the...

Well Mike, it seems like these turbos are still around since you can buy them used or even brand new from people who have never installed them. Just because your company doesnt sell them directly anymore doesnt mean that they have dissappeared off the face of the planet. I'm not blaming you or...

lets put the bs aside and break this down simple. Stop blaming people for issues with the turbo. Stapl3's experience with this turbo obviously was not a good one and he is advising others not to use it and have the same problems he did. Whether or not the fix for the turbo was simple, the turbo...

it will take a few more bolt ons to get an evo3 to 350whp. crank horsepower you can get to 350 fairly easily. I have an safcII now, but I really plan on going either ems or dsmlink soon. It's just so much easier to tune for power using a complete tuning system. Timing is all kinds of messed up...

I'm assuming when the car is on and the headlights are on, the radio stays on? You've got a crossed ground somewhere. Either that or you wired the remote turn on to a power source that has a delay (aka the windows on our cars are functional for about 20 seconds after the key is removed, but once...

hey man whats up. I can help you out but I need some more info. Stock or aftermarket radio? If aftermarket, are you using a harness or is it hardwired in? It turns off if you turn ON the headlights? or when you turn the headlights OFF? If we can't figure this out on here, just swing by after...

calm down guys. 95 dsm's are obdII. No dyno pull needed :tease: .... And yea for awd, and even with my rwd old school camaro, they just made me do a still rev in neutral, then again that wasnt obdII. All 1g's are obdI and all 2g's are obdII. They started the obdII system in 95, some cars were...

just zip tie the rear o2 sensor up under the car securely, and I emphasize securely (one of mine shot off going over a speed bump OMG ) As long as it is hooked up to the ecu, it will not throw a cel. It doesnt even compensate for a/f ratio in the car, it just checks to make sure the cat is...

what parts did you pick up from dsmotorsport? I live about half hour from their shop. I might run by there and browse for some fittings, but if you bought a specific part from them it would make my life easier:thumb:side note: do you think ss braided line would cool down enough with the C02...

I've heard varying information about the holset turbos. I havent had any real personal experience with the turbo, but from what i've heard generally isn't amazing reactions. Big power can be made from them if you can utilize every supporting mod possible. I did not have good reactions to my 20g...

Will do so. I tried to make it about a year ago, but I failed to use strong enough fittings, and it pretty much blew up in my face, literally. The line shot off the fitting on the tank and slapped me in the face :sneaky: . Live and learn I guess, that was just a project since I was bored one...

because you can't refill a fire extinguisher. I dont think you can at least WTF ...

I'm thinking of fabbing up a Co2 sprayer to my fmic with the extra paintball tanks I have laying around. Instead of just the gas spraying on the core itself, I'm thinking of twisting the line around my UICP and continuing it down to the core. The gas in the line will cool off the line itself...

If you read the original post, he mainly was looking to hook up the windshield washers to the ic core to spray water on it which costs nothing. And in the newbie forum, I would highly suggest against recommending them to make a DIY injection system. Something as minor as a clogged nozzle can...

yea I agree with Tom on this one. If you only want to go with an evo3: A. Your not going to need 750's, you can probably even get away with 550's. B. The SAFC simply cannot compensate for 750cc injectors, even if it could, you would probably pull massive timing. C. An evo3 will have a difficult...

make sure you clean the hats nice and good before you throw on the paint. Painting over rust is only going to cause you more problems. My brembo's have rusted over like that too. Not a big deal, doesnt affect braking ability at all, dont listen to your friends, most likely they have no idea what...

very good post, I agree with that almost completely. The head isnt that big of a difference. With a turbocharged application, the flow of the head really wont make that much difference unless you are running very high horsepower. A 6bolt block with 2g head isnt a bad idea necessarily, it just...

gorgeous pictures. I can never seem to take good night shots. Either the flash ruins it, or I shut the flash off and there isnt enough lighting. Maybe you were lucky with there being enough lighting, because those pictures came out perfect.

well honestly i'm not even going to have the seats in the car. Just looking to use the brackets on the bottom of the seats. Instead of spending the $100+ on cheap aftermarket seat brackets for my aftermarket seats, just seeing if I can use the stock 1g brackets and save myself some money while...

Will 1g seats fit in a 2g? I'm mostly concerned about the brackets lining up with the stock location. Even if I have to modify it a little bit, I'm just looking to see if anyone has done this successfully.

it's probably the same as the turbo car. Take out the center console, remove the radio, and look inside the hole where the radio was. On the right hand side attached to the metal frame of the console towards the firewall there will be a black box that is for the blinker relay/hazards. Check the...

yea 12 is rediculous. Something is VERY wrong. Do a boost leak test and solve that one first. Then move onto larger more expensive options ROFL .... The Jpipe is the pipe that curves above your turbo and connects to the lower intercooler pipe from the inlet side of the turbo (the part that the...
