So about a year and a half ago I was at the track and had a little whoopsie moment when I flat shifted (yay DSMLink) from third to fourth and, in fact, hit second instead of fourth. The upshot of all this is that the rear end took one for the team and needed to be replaced. Then life got in...
I'd love to hear some thoughts on this one because I'm stumped. The car has a new engine in it (6 bolt in a '95 GSX), ran great when I first started it up. Continued to run great while I calibrated the MAFT for idle and rev tuning. I then had to put the car away for a couple of weeks because...
I ordered an Isuzu slave from Slowboy for my Quartermaster twin disc and what I got was most definitely not an Isuzu slave cylinder. It mates up to the tranny without any modifications. So my question is, did Slowboy go out and have some slaves custom spec'd for their PTT kits or do I just have...
I'm trying to clean the filter element of my FP turbo oil feed filter and I can't get it out. Is there any trick people use to get it out? I've tried using a seal puller to get it out, but it keeps slipping and doing nothing but gouging the plastic. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
So I'm installing a set of DSS rear axles and I'd like to keep the ABS ring gears. I've already heated them up and knocked them off the stockers, but I'm worried about getting them on the DSSs. Since I don't have a press, I figured I'd put them in the oven and leave the axles in the subfreezing...
I've got a gorgeous ATI damper that's ready to go on but before I do, I've got a few questions for you guys out there that have installed this thing. My first question is: I still put on the timing indicator and balance shaft gear on before I put the hub on right? Secondly, the instructions talk...
So, I'm a student at Northwestern University and recently had the opportunity to get a free pass to the Chicago Auto show. Honestly, who am I to pass that up :sneaky:? Unfortunately due to time constraints I only had about an hour and 45 to walk around the largest autoshow in North America, so...
So after a mis-shift this fall caused the engine to rev to 13,000 rpm, I decided it would be prudent to strip the engine down to a bare block and have my machinist take a look at it. In the process of disassembly, I bent the trigger plate. I'm trying to order a new one, but at Extreme PSI, there...
GPUpdate.net - Every day updated Formula One news! (For Formula One news, results, photos and more!)It's supposed to even the playing field, but to me it looks ugly as sin, is there anyone out there who actually likes this new look?
Well as I posted in this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drag-strip/311252-finally-made-into-11s.html there was a little accident a few weeks ago going from the top of third to second, whoops. After we replaced the rockers and lifters that we'd destroyed the car ran great, but we still...
As the title says, finally made it into the 11s! For some background on the car, it's been a project in my family for the last 4.5 years, now on the second setup. My brother was driving it Weds night. Our setup is in our profile, but we've had some issues getting the Techedge WBo2 working, so...
Hi everyone, I just went to bolt my turbo up to my shiny new DN Performance exhaust manifold and I ran into a very odd problem. The equal length runners of the manifold hang over three out of the four holes in the manifold flange, preventing me from dropping the turbo bolts down. Has anyone ever...
So I just reinstalled my hood after swaping in a six bolt... as soon as I push the hood down all the way, I realize that the wire for the hood release handle isn't connected. How do I open up the hood again? I've been trying to figure this out for the past few hours, but nothing has resulted in...
Well the painter decided it would be smart to detach the brake lines from the ABS unit and then leave the unit out in the rain. So now I have water in the ABS unit. Aside from getting the scan tool to activate the ABS unit (not going to happen) and going out and get the ABS unit to trip (don't...
When I was removing my slave cylinder, three ball bearings fell out. Does anyone know what they are for? Do I need to worry about getting some replacements, or does a new slave cylinder include these? Thanks for the help.
I'm doing a six bolt swap into a 2g. While working on the rear main oil seal, I noticed that in the service manual, there is a part called an oil separator, which goes between the block and the seal itself (I already have the plate and the seal). I'm using a swap kit and this piece isn't...
I was planning on getting an aluminized exhaust and then just putting on some rust resistant paint. But here's the question, if i put this on the exhaust, will it need to be high temp paint, like engine paint? I honestly don't see the need to spend extra money on a full stainless system if...
