just wonderin if an aluminum honda radiator would provide enough cooling power for a DSM since it is about half the size of the DSM radiator. if anyone has experiance with this please chime in. can it still be used as a DD? thanks.
Spent a good few hours cleaning the GSX and then went out and took some pics and edited them. Also added some that show how clean the exterior is (those are unedited)

so after a rough night of drinkin some absinthe i felt kinda good this morning and decided to take pis of my car while on my way back home with my new nikon.
i was gonna redo my nozzle placement when i get a FMIC, as it is now it goes directly infront of the throttle body mabey 3 inches away. the manual says for best results that it should be placed 6 inches away. but with the TB elbow 6 inches would be before the bend and the manual also says it...
i had a question about this turbo more for longevity, about how long do they last? I figure ill be goin to the track maybe once a month during the race season, and i guess im your average lead foot driver. im just looking for around 350-400 on my GST.i would go with the 16G but with the...
so im planin on gettin another dsm in a few months. but i dunno if i should get a 1G or a 2G, the problem is i already have a few things on my GS-T that could easily be swaped to a 2G awd (DSMlink, wheels etc...), i know the 1G's are usually cheeper (whats with people askin 8-12K for a 1G!?)...
i just checked my bank account and i recieved $600 from the govt. 'boost the economy money' i thought they wernt giving this out till like the middle of may. any one else get this yet?

i got some enkei RPM2's (300 bucks a wheel i think) but i traded a friend my xbox360 for them. they are not too bad, not really my style of wheel (i like 5 spokes) i kinda like them though. needs to be lowerd again and i need to put some 235/40's up there. they are 18s BTW.
i may be in th market for a new turbo soon and i wanted to get opinions on these turbos (mainly the BEP since there is not much on it) i want my car capable of 600 hp (this is in the distant future) but i want somthing different from the 35R and i figure the BEP could give me what i want and...

my friend and i put on a 14b on his car and now he cant get full boost, we think it might be the wastegate actuator because its pretty hard to open and close and he said that he can feel air comming out of it (the actuator) when he opens it. boost only go's up to about 7-8 psi max and it starts...
so i put on a new Dejon_tool FMIC and fluidyne radiator when i replaced my turbo (AGP RS-60), and my car acts like it wants to overheat but it dosent quite get hot enough. im thinking that the new intercooler is so big that its blocking air from getting to the radiator, and i only have 1...
can someone make my wheels bigger (roughly 18's, they are 16's now) and paint them black, one with the silver lip and one with the whole wheel black. thank you.

ok i got my new turbo in and the compressor housing on itis pointing up instead of down, and im not sure how to turn it the right way, i know you can loosten it up and turn it, but which bolts do i loosten up? i think its the ones on the compressor housing. :confused:for reference my old...
i need to know where the oil needs to be tapped from on a 1990 6 bolt block. i think RRE says that it is tapped from the hole that points straight down from the oil pump assy. if there are pictures of a 1990 oil pump assembly they would help as well.they are different on 1990 than 91 and...

i have a 90 6 bolt block and front cover assembly and im wondering about the oil cooler. my old engine (95) had metal shavings all in the oil pan, so there are probibly going to be shaving in the oil cooler as well. im wondering if i can just clean it out and hope that it gets it clean enough so...
ok, im in the middle of a 6 bolt swap and we are having a problem figuring out how we are going to hook up the crank angle sensor. i am retaining my 2G head and it is an early 95 model so there isnt a cam angle sensor. we are having trouble figuring out how the plate for the CAS is going to fit...
