  2. Random Brake, coolant, and battery lights

    I went to pick up my sister a few minutes ago and about 2.5 miles up the road the brake, coolent, and battery lights randomly lit up. the car drove fine, brakes worked fine, no studdering. i pulled over at a gas station and checked everything. Coolent level was fine. Brake fluid was a little...
  3. Fuel Cut: What is it? How do I fix it? [merged]

    Im curious as to what could cause this, because im have a very similar problem. when it stutters in the high RPM's did it backfire. i did a 3rd gear pull today, and it backfired pretty bad along with some black smoke, and my logs look alot like yours. alot of knock and black smoke, it doesnt...
  4. quiet exhaust

    there will be a hell of a difference between a atv and a dsm, never seen one on a dsm before but a buddy of mine has one on his WRX and its not too loud at all, and then again my dad has one on his porsche 944 and its loud as hell.It all depends on what kind of car your putting it on. i...
  5. Brake, Battery light - flicker on /off DEAD ALTERNATOR [Merged 4-8]

    Found my problem, I had a non-turbo alternator on my car. the parts store i bought it from screwed up and sold me the wrong one. getting the right on in a couple days, along with some new motor mounts
  6. Brake, Battery light - flicker on /off DEAD ALTERNATOR [Merged 4-8]

    Alternator is goin out. battery voltage was decreasing slowly at idle.when i went out to re-check it i smelled something burning. like wires or something. but alternator has a lifetime warranty so all i have to do is take the old one in. and have someone put it in.
  7. Brake, Battery light - flicker on /off DEAD ALTERNATOR [Merged 4-8]

    when i had my turbo put on the guy left the shields off. i still have them here but not on the car. i checked the voltage right after i started the car and it was 12.15v. it started up fine btw. im gonna let it run for a while to see if it will charge any, then check voltage again.
  8. Brake, Battery light - flicker on /off DEAD ALTERNATOR [Merged 4-8]

  10. Anyone know about these FMIC kits? Inexpensive

    i saw those the other day also. and they do not come with couplers or clamps. but on a positive note they are bead rolled
  11. Knock off Greddy Type S bov

    does that second whistle happen a few seconds after the initial psssst. becaust my 1g bov does that, i dont know if there is a problem or what? it is a modified 1g bov, not crushed by the way.
  12. Looking for a specific o2 housing.

    have you checked ebay? havent looked lately, but ive seen their o2 housings on ebay before.
  13. Pressbent Intake Pipe

    i just bought a 90 degree mandrel bend off ebay, about 23 dollars shipped. and im gonna get my cousin to cut and weld it for me. i made a little plan on autocad a few minutes ago. and i made a 3d drawing of what it will look like, maybe not this color but the design is the same.heres the 3d...
  14. Pressbent Intake Pipe

    I have been searching the classifieds and ebay for a cheap or used intake pipe, but came up empty, cheapest one is 45 and he doesnt have very good feedback, then i have to buy a coupler for my turbo and a new air filter. and then im up to like 80-100 dollars dependent on air filter.The local...
  15. Bad azz First Gen pictures????

    I love the Blue/Silver paint from the factory. i read somewhere they only made a few hundred of this color. but it needs to be lowered about an inch
  16. Need advice on dp and ic piping

    if hes gonna ceramic coat it, then that would be better than a stainless downpipe. also which one is cheaper, if you can get the local guy to do it for less than the DP on ebay go with the o2 eliminatorand about the IC piping i would go for it. but i would pass on the ceramic coating for...
  17. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    i dont care about a vibration, thats why i asked if anyone makes a good solid motor mount. and i know a solid mount will have MORE vibration than the prothanes i didnt get this car for its luxury and comfort(AC is broken, Cruise Control is broken, no ABS) i got it so i could make it go fast...
  18. Switchable boost?

    i am setting mine up a little different. one of the solenoids has two outlets, when the solenoid is switched off the air goes through one of the outlets, when it is switched on the air goes through the other outlet(this outlet is capped off from the factory). so i am going to use this as a T...
  19. Switchable boost?

    i think it raises the fuel pressure with how much boost you run, i think it raises it 1psi of fuel pressure for overy 1psi of boost you run.if i am wrong someone correct me. but you have to have it hooked up.
  20. Switchable boost?

    you do not need a after market FPR, just the vacuum line going to your stock one, like chris said. and yes the switchable boost mod will work. i havent had time to wire mine up but it will work as long as your solenoid works and you get proper voltage to your solenoid.
  21. 1g fwd 3 in exhaust

    I would also recomend RNR. I have their 2.5" catback. but I dont know if anything is changed around there but RNR used to take a while to get their exhausts built. i waited a while for mine, its been over a year so i cant remember exactly how long.here are a couple sound clips done with a...
  22. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    The problem still exists, but it is worse in 2nd gear than in 3rd. tranny mounts maybe?
  23. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    On my way to school this morning i had an intercooler pipe blowoff, i pulled over and put my uicp back together and checked all my couplers and tightened down my clamps(stupid worm gear clamps, no money for t-bolts) i took it easy the rest of the way to school.on my way home i got onto a...
  24. Another eBay o2 housing thread...opinions

    I was wondering if anyone used this o2 housing too, Slowboy Racing also sells them, for $189.
  25. help new turbo and boost controlrer

    I dont know about EBCs but my MBC i have tapped into the line running from my manifold to my BOV. i think you can use this instead of a nipple on the compressor housing, and i have never seen a 20g and i dont know what to do about the hole.
  26. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    i am venting but im doin it the right way, with a GM MAFT setup in blowthrough, and it feels alot like what you felt moparmadd. it feels the exact same way.could air be rushing back into the maf causing it to read alot of air, its connected to my throttle body elbow(i should have pics on my...
  27. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    i checked my front motor mount and it looks pretty rough, it is ripped pretty bad,Does anyone make a solid mount to replace this? or do i have to use a new rubber mount with an insert like the ones from prothane?
  28. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    i modified it by these instructions. if i go for a new bov i will get either a Turbo XS type H, HKS SSQV(if i can get the money), or a blitz
  29. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    ddavisaf ill check that this weekend while im doing some other things to it.also i was just thinking about it and it feels alot like it did when i vented with my stock mas. but im running a blowthrough setup now so that cant be the problem. just thought i would add this to help diagnose my...
  30. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    its the stock BOV and i didnt use RTV, i only used a NEW gasket i got from extreme PSI with my uicp. should i have used RTV.I do have the stock flywheel and clutch, the previous owner said he replaced the clutch right before i bought the car, and its only been a year. but i will try to get...
  31. Greddy Type-S to 1g Flange?

    I think you have to drill a couple holes in the 1g flange. Here is a VFAQ: here
  32. mivec 4G63 head on a 1G 4G63? can it happen?

    So if you flipped the EVO8 head it would be:........exhaustTB................Belts.......Intakeand i dont think you could switch the cams around
  33. Spool RPM poll. Well sort of poll?

    1) 1g FWD 2)EVO 3 B16g(unported) 3)Manual 4)2.5" punishment racing pressbent downpipe w/ test pipe and RNR 2.5" catback, GM MAFT in blowthrough(so no mas before turbo) just stock intake pipe, and KN air filter 5)Dont know, i dont hit full boost in first, FWD spinning 6) in 2nd and 3rd, i...
  34. Jerking when lifting the throttle.

    I recently took a drive over the mountain, and everytime i let off the throttle at higher RPMs it would jerk real bad. like around 4000 RPMs or so.Could my motor mounts be the problem, as far as i know they have around 170k miles on them. not sure if previous owners ever changed them. and my...
  35. 1g flange to blitz bov

    i started a thread on this and the only responce i got was id have to have one customed machined, and the flange you probably got was one for a Skyline. they are exactly the same.and im curious, why are you trading your blitz for a type s
  36. 2g intake pipe with no mas

    a freind of mine is going to a blowthrough setup, and he wants to know if there are any filters that will fit directly onto his hard intake pipe for a 2g mas. Forced Performance says that a filter with a 4 inch inlet will fit over the mas end of their 4 inch pipe, but is the mas end of their...
  37. Throttle hunting at idle..

    This has happened to me a lot. i had some pretty bad boost leaks. and it will happen if you vent your blow-off valve(ive done it before). get a leak tester and check for leaks.
  38. Strange Knock in beginning of 3rd

    i went to the track tonight and got some good results(for me anyways). i still cant seem to get my starts down, but im gonna work on those on thursday. I ran a [email protected]. my profile is updated with all my mods. my best 60 foot was 2.4 and thats where i have problems, Any tips on launching a...
  39. Origins of "VTEC"

    they are slow in a straight line, but when you get them on a auto-x course, id say it would beat the run of the mill dsm. my dads on the other hand, has been bored out, steel sleeves, forged pistons w/ raised compression, and he runs about a 100hp shot of nitrous that is progressive to RPMs...
  40. Origins of "VTEC"

    Porsche didnt release it until 89 in the 944S2, the earlier models were 2.5 liter sohc engines without it.
  41. Evo 3 16g

    i found a map but i dont know how to read itand i found it on this thread, that may have some other helpful info about the efficiency of this turbo
  42. Evo 3 16g

    i have a very similar setup, except im running a 2.5" exhaust and a 3kgt vr4 pump, a little smaller than the 190, i run 15psi, with no knock, but it will start creeping on me in third gear up to around 16 or 17 psi, then it will start knocking pretty bad.but our cars can be different, so...
  43. 99.6% Throttle max

    ok at idle it reads 10.1% so i guess its ok, im not gonna worry about it, like yall say
  44. 99.6% Throttle max

    ok i just went out and adjusted it and i went one way, down to 94%, then all the way back the other way, couldnt go any farther, guess what, 99.6%. is my tps defective. will it hurt my performance significantly? if not i wont worry about it, till its really messed up.
  45. 99.6% Throttle max

    can someone explain this or is there a vfaq?
  46. 99.6% Throttle max

    Will there be any problem if my logger only shows my tps at 99.6%? i turned the actual throttle body all the way and still 99.6% so my throttle cable is not the problem.
  47. SARD blow-off valve

    well as of last night i will not be getting a bov, or anymore parts for that matter, for my car, because i am now BROKE, because of Huricane Katrina, gas prices have gone up at least 50 cents, many stations in the area are empty. aand i wont have a job for atleast two weeks, if i get the job at all
  48. SARD blow-off valve

    i am hoping to eventually run around 21-22 psi, if the car doesnt fall apart first, and i saw this on ebay.i saw a picture somewhere where someone bought a kit that had the 1g flange and then a pipe to attach it too, anyone know where to find this?if they dont make it anymore, my cousin...

  50. Sneaky Pete Nitrous

    can you run a dry shot of nitrous on our vehicles? i thought a dry shot raised the fuel pressure considerably to compensate for the nitrous. and our turbo vehicles already have high fuel pressures. my dad runs a dry shot on his Porsche 944 and it raises his fuel pressure alot via a solenoid...
