After doing some research I have found mixed reviews on a motor flush being good and bad. A flush with an additive removes engine contaminates but causes increased oil leaks in older engines. So what if, you flushed it and used restore* to seal the imperfections. From what i have researched...

I've done a search on this and can not find the answer to my question. I just bought my gs... so how do i know if it came with keyless entry and alarm? What should i look for if i have it, and if i do where do i get the remote? All the other threads i could find on this were just trouble...

Quick question, if i was to paint my radiator for instance with silver engine enamel for example, would that effect the performance of my cooling? would it run hotter?

It can be done... it has been done... It's up to him. I do not personally own a DSM any more but my personal preference would be to swap the suspension. No matter what you do to a GS it will always be a GS. As for insurance, if you have a salvage title that means you could run just liability...

Bleh, ive sold my eclipse and Im building up my firebird... guess i just forget sometimes. oh well its the thought that counts.anywho do you have adjustable cam gears?

I would inspect your cams, maybe you have a bearing thats crapped out.

I know for a fact that Greddy has one, but you will pay the greddy price..

Before jumping to conclusions try the easy stuff first, a good rule of thumb. Do you have an aftermarket intake? If so check the hose coming from your valve cover to your intake. No it is not required but if that opening to your intake is constantly open those symptoms will occur. Especially...

Do not take your TPS out of the equation.. they all work in conjuction. TPS connector gets dirty those are symptoms.

well let me ask you this... they'll give me 4k for my car so i only pay them 6500 would you : A. Buy they car thats already fukin fast B. used the 6500, turbo it up and get a paint job?

I am a tad bit worried because, he has his BOV vented I know that can cause probs also he installed teh harness wrong, its bolted to the back of his seat tracks! :eek: other than that he has alot alot alot of mods. I rather do it myself... but the lil bastard is very fast

Well I saw the light, This dealership has a 97 GSX with 110k Miles. They claim it has $7000 worth of aftermarket and runs high 11's. They claim it has 350 whp. The only mods I noticed was a DNP exhaust mani, injen intake pipe with HKS filter. Greddy something-a-rather and a HKS BOV. I also...

Might as well stop arguing, you cannot change turbo guys :nono: Besides, I thought we were suppose to stop everything we are doing and help the lady? That IS what you guys are all about.

I guess they are okay if you can't spell "What" right. But for everyone else, we think not. :notgood:

I agree with 97% of what you said. The part I disagree with is the "don't spend a dime" on your car see how you like it first. He has a 2G which is jacked up like an suv and depending on whether he has a GS or RS he may not even have a rear sway bar. You need to make some effort to make the car...

Weight reduction is a double edged sword. People think that weight reduction just consist of removing weight and your good right? Wrong! Dont concentrate on weight reduction concentrate on weight distribution! For instance, lets say you concentrate on taking out your spare tire all your back...

Do a search bro... this topic has been done several times :thumb:

Yeah I decided to put my UDP on w/o dropping the motor. And I beat my pulley to all hell. It's on... it works but its ugly

Thanks.Anyways, I wouldnt worry about the performance yet. Like I said that stuff is insufficent unless your car will handle the road. You can easily beat a GST in Autocross if #1 you are a better driver #2 Your car has better suspension. Suspension will make you faster!! It will I promise...

4-1 style header I went with megan racing, I got the SS header and SS dp for 105 shipped 4-2-1 DC sports you are looking to pay some serious bones for SS like 350+ AF/X UDP mine was $160 shipped to my door and came with 2 free belts Ralliart CAI got mine from ebay $45 shipped to my door...

Yeah, while my fusterating installition, I knicked the pully a few times lol, so far so good though. If I dropped the engine I wouldnt have knicked it but thats what happens when you take shortcuts :(

He asked for your help not your attitude. He is asking so he doesnt have to jerry rig it. Sounds like a good owner to me. Someone who would take the time to research something instead of screw it up.

Our Crank is internally balanced. Therefore we have no need for a harmonic balancer. the turbo guys will.

of course cams, and gears will work. but you have to do everything in the right order. I wouldnt put cam gears in as my first mod you know everything works in conjunction with other things, It doesnt matter how much power you have if your car handles like crap. get the Suspension done first...

Get a CAI 4-2-1 (I do AutoCross but i perfer 4-1) UDP <-- Definately get this Lower your car!! <-- a must I lowered mine 2" HUGE difference better springs KYB gr2's 50 bucks a piece from summit, 200 for all four short throw shifter. front and rear strut bar. pretty much everything in my...

A decent catback is like 600 bones... for some nickle and dime hp. It got me thinking. When I had my Z24 we used to go under the lift spray paint the whole exhaust black, drive it for a couple of days and put it on the lift again. where the paint stops flaking off you make a cut, then bolt the...

All the bends look mandrel bent to me on the stock, no ridges whatsoever. none. That surprised me. I am thinking about a gst muffler and call exhaust a day... anyone have an extra for sell? Also i have plenty of mods... I just dont see the need of bigger exhaust if our downpipes are smaller you...

I was under the lift the other day inspecting my exhaust system, well it got me thinking, our exhaust is not really all that restrictive. So my question is... wouldn't it be a waste of time to get like a catback? my down pipe is 2.25" and your exhaust system is really as good as your smallest...

Use a very long breaker bar and wedge a screw drive in the old pully. After you get it off thread in a bolt with the same threads as your old one but about 3 inches longer. rent a 3 armed pulley puller from autozone and prop it against that long bolt it will come off. when it is off, place the...

You guys are really something if this person was a male you would have flammed them and told them to use the search... since it's a chick you all bow down and be as nice as you can.. you guys are really something

Try replacing your motor ROFL Anyway okay lets start from scratch. Go buy a multimeter, you can get them from walmart for like 5 bucks. it Doesnt have to be digital but they help. Now did the new fuse you replace blow? if not then take it out and test the power going into the fuse by placing...

This only applies if you are unfortunate enough to live in California. Everystate is different, He lives in kansas. For instance here in GA, you can have blue or red neons as long as they arent flashing. we can have 15% tint. All which or illegal in Ca. Check your state laws Lzybum06 just incase.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I would diffenately go for the UDP, You will notice much better acceleration when you put it on. I uded the AFX. works great. MAde my car louder too for some odd reason....hmm

I have to admitt that looks pretty damn good. I was thinking blue but since "red" is apart of my company name Im stuck lol great job

Watts are a big factor in deciding what light to use. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT use bulbs with high wattage. It will increase the amperage you use with your hiring harness and yes they will melt burn the whole nine yards. Now some people sell bulbs that use stock wattage but use 8500 k light output...

This is what I recommend, Get access to a small bit of sheet metal, cut it to strips, or one big strip, jb weld it to the underside, of the holes. then apply your body filler to the section, then featheredge the filler, apply primer, feather edge it, then paint. Its really simple. PM me if you...

I may be wrong but I am pretty sure a 4-1 is much more suitable for low end than the infamous 4-2-1. I got my 4-1 from megan and noticed a bigger difference in lower rpm rage than higher. I am willing to bed 4-1 is more suitable. Im not trying to be a jerk just trying to help.

Try doing resistance checks on your coil, I highly doubt that coffee can of a fuel filter is injected, but try that too since what the hell, nothing wrong with good upkeep. If you put in new plugs and yoru car went to crap, you put old ones back in and they got a "little better" Then if i were...

This is a common problem if you have a CAI or RAI and you forget to connect the vent tube from the valve cover to the intake. Now you don't need the tube, as long as the connection on the intake is blocked off. If that is not the case look into your throttle position sensor or idle air control...

A good rule of thumb to use when dealing with blown fuses is to put a new one in and try again. Only once. Could have been a faulty fuse. So borrow one of the 30A fuses from like window motors for example and try that.... if it doesnt blow then there you go. Do this once. If it blows again. It...

There are several things that can cause this. Here are some of the obvious things. Check your spark plugs, take them out look at them.. are the electrodes intact, they melting, seated properly... they may be too hot causing detonation. (hot spots in your head causing the fuel to explode before...

Agreed, I haven't checked our particular car but most cars have a special switch that is deactivated when the brake touches it. There is a push button switch. Pressed in lights go out, let out lights stay on. You can fix this simply by twisting a nut that is usually on the button itself, or you...

I am sure once upon a time and now actually to most people thought racing a 4 cyl motor was a dumb idea. But there is 9 second all motor civics, and even fast turbos. You might have respect for a nt that beats you in a race. If that day ever comes, you should respect the hard work that anyone...

Have you seen itb's on the 2.0? or other applications, I would love itb's. I know it cost alot, its the same amount on my buddy's rsx. He is going all motor as well. I hear that alone improves engine sound drastically.

That spells it out, the comment you made if I asked if you were refering the newb comment to me.

200hp is very realistic in my opinion. There is too much aftermarket to be ignored. I think a 2.2l stroker would be a great option without too much craziness. I asked for opinions, and where to find certain parts such as heads. I already have a plan. I did a search, many times. Not for 2.4 but...

Because I ask questions on all motor applications that automatically classifies me as newbie? taking in consideration that you have no idea of the work and time I have put into my ride. Also considering all the work was done by myself. You are right asking questions makes me a newb... It is...

I hope you aren't refering me as newb... :rolleyes:

hrmmm... I would not be interested in an automatic. No way.

You talk about how we are beneficial to the market but to me it seems like you are giving up. Afterall, you are getting a turbo. Keep on keeping on.
