I just pulled a 14B out of a 91 Laser. I'm gonna clean it up this weekend. What signs of wear should I look for? Anything that will tell me whether the turbo's bad or on the way out? Any comments or suggestions? As, if the turbo is sound, I'm gonna swap it into my 2G Eclipse (97) and get rid...

you know i did the same thing with the palm. actually emailed the guy cause the link didn't work on my mac. so it happen to the best of us.dont you need the cable to hook it into the ECU?

why would you need 720's with a 14B? if anything you only need to upgrade to 550's. did you already get 720's?

thanks. i already got an autometer so im not sure what i'll do. i will be upgrading the turbo in a year or so. upgrading the fuel system to and getting an AFC. in your opinions: should i get a different A/F gauge when i do that, specifically for tunings sake?i was planning on keeping the...

yeah, the new BOV will help hold boost. the stock or whatever bottleg one you had was leaking or releasing some of the pressure cause a boost drop at high rpm. the HKS is holding it adding to your high rpm speed. this has nothing to do with you venting it to the atmosphere. any good BOV will...

i did my FATT a month ago. i just grounded the purple wire cause i didn't have a wire tap that would fit the e-brake wire. and it works fine. so i don't think that's it, but you can try. it may be either the power issue (ie AC or something like that) or your unti may be f-ed up. you never...

yeah, i have one coming in the mail. if you want to wait a week, i'll have it on then. that's the best i can do.

what about a modded autometer that reads from .76v to .96v. that would be better than the stock one?

yeah, i just saw that on RRE. would a guage with .1 V per led be better than the autometer's .05?

yeah, i've seen a few guys with FIPK's that had cold air intakes.

thanks, didn't know that. anybody know if the wire hookup for an autometer and a jumptronix is the same?

i couldn't get mine out even with snap ring pliers. im gonna rty again when i take the IC piping out of the car.

some shop put mine on and i can't get it off. when i had to flip it around to put on the recirc kit i ended using a brass mallet. i think the flange maybe wrong.

i don't know if i agree with that. if you ever plan on taking your car above stock an a/f gauge and an egt are the best two gauges to have. make sure your mixture fine and your not going to melt anything. or did you mean that the autometer is just a carp gauge?cause he already has a...

thanks.

pretty sure he's running it to that in dash bezel with the two gauge pods not an a-pillar. check out vfaq.com for a good how-to. that should show you where to tap the vacuum line from and what wires to "t" off of for power. since you got a 2G you can "t" off some wires that will allow the...

yeah, you put the MBC on and then you drive around and see where your max boost is. then you pull over and correct it. that's pretty much it, pretty simple. are you worried about price? or just don't know if you need an MBC at all?

man, give it up. who cares? buy your damn intertcooler and leave the guy alone. jeez. honestly does it really matter this much?

yeah, i got some of it on my car. if that's what you mean. or, on the web, at intense motorsports that's one of the only places i could find it. it's not that easy to make one. you have to remove the air whistle and replace it with a flange. i remember when i did a search on google for...

make sure you get a recirculation kit for the HKS. they don't come with one.

oh, yeah. dukes of hazard: they used a lot of bondo queens with chevy 350's in em to jump stuff like the hazard river. just paint em up right and who knows the difference. it's fun when they land and bend the unibody and then the next scene they skid out and the car's straight as an arrow.

not to start flames but i get out plenty. i've been watching the show since '89 and one of the animators used to buy me beer freshman year. wouldn't you pay alot of attention of you had connections like that? sorry. i know off the subject.as a guy who loves muscle cars and imports, that...

hey p8ntballa, not to be a jerk or anything but simpsons is my favorite show. so i really appreciate the reference but it's, "well, lah-de-dah, mr. french man." but nice pick on the line.

thanks, i actually found an install kit from RRE. yeah the 14B and 16G are similar to each other and to the garrett on the 2G. all i need is basically gaskets, new oil and water lines and a length of pipe to match it to the stock intercooler line. now i have to see whether the guy will let go...

i may have found a 91 laser with a bad head for cheap. thinking about swapping the 14B turbo from the laser to replace the tiny T-25 in my 97 eclipse.is this possible? is it worth it as a low cost intermediate trubo upgrade before i can afford a larger turbo? will it be that low cost...

I may have found a 91 laser with a bad head for cheap. I have a 97 eclipse with the stock T-25. I was thinking about swapping the 14B from the 1G into my 2G. need to know a few things:1)is it possible? any problems involved?2)what extra parts will i need? install kits, new exhaust...

i know this is a flame but, man, i have to. kanga07, you don't even have a car!! what right do you have to judge eclipses over talons over lasers? especially since you don't know anything about them, where they are made, etc. buy a dsm (an eclipse if you prefer), learn a little, then come back.

damn, sorry about the triple post. supposed to be on cable, never seen that happen except with dial-up.about the nitrous issue: i should have kept mt mouth shut. i realize there is still a gigantic debate over the juice. but it is nice to discuss it between people who know something...

there seems to be a lot of misinformation spread around about nitrous (i say "nitrous" because not all N2O delivery kits are made by N-itrous O-xide S-ystems) nitrous does add wear to your motor but so does the turbos we all run (or wish to run). to be really general, all mods that take your...

there seems to be a lot of misinformation and confusion about nitrous with some people who don't know what they're talking about (notice i say nitrous--because not all N2O delivery kits are made by Nitrous Oxide Systems). nitrous does add extra wear to your motor, but so does the turbo most of...

i think i was at happy days on dewey/latta. last year though. but my dad went down this year with his chevelle and said there plenty of imports and sprt compacts there.

yep, just a movie. same thing happened here. cops started looking for imports instead of just muscle cars. tons of kids bought civics and think they are fast. everyone calls it naws. they should make fast and the furious two about a kid from upstate new york who buys a dsm. saves his money...

let's not forget it did show the cops that they have to now pay attention to us and not only the guys in the camaros and five-ohs. which i am super happy about.

good one. it's funny and true.

i have heard of some insurance companies charging more highly mod'ed vehicles especially those with lots of obvious exterior mods.

i read that thread and i agree with everyone's opinions. thye one thing people who laready have (and love) an AWD is that they're not the easy to find especially at a good price. the only one's i found were either at a dealer that wanted 20K for 99's with 40K mileage or owned by some shitbrick...

it snows so gadarned much around here that a few places have a "five day guarantee" on your wash. bring your car back in in the next five days and the wash is free. so, you pay for a wash on monday, go back on friday and get a free one, then wait til tues to pay for another one. ten days, two...

i'd say get a GSX or Talon AWD if you can find one in good shape for a good price. i tried to track one down for a while. looked at a bunch that had been beat on and generally misused. all the kids selling them wanted too much.so i went with a GST.if you plan on drag racing a lot...

yeah, the k&n is fine. really all you really need. the injen has a few advantages: 1) it replaces the crappy stock accordian intake tube 2) in doing that it a) looks a ton better, if you care about that and b) lets the turbo breath a little better 3) i've heard the turbo spool up sound is a...

i really like my HKS but you have to get a recirculation kit for it. and whatever the shop that put it on (installed by previous owner) used for a mounting flange it was way low and the piping barely fit so i gotta find a new piece of pipe.but the HKS is great. good sound. real friggin...

DSM actually disolved after 95 i think though the cars were still made in the Ohio plant and everyone still considers them DSM's. again, i think. so don't yell if i'm wrong.get an eclipse if you like the way they look, get a talon if you like them, get a laser if you like a car with an...

well, he's got a 1.8 '92 i don't know what the heck that engine is. the 1G GS's had the 4G63 sans turbo. but i don't know jack about the 1.8. all the turbo kits i've ever seen for non-turbo dsm's are for 2G 420A motors. so you may be SOL. you should ask one of the guru guys who knows about...

i saw a kid at a cruise night who found that eagle vinyl from F&F and put it on his red 98 RS. now, i've only had a dsm for a month now but i laughed at him anyway.

oh, dude i know. it's fake as hell. but for some reason that line bothers the #@%#@%#@%#@% out of me. my dad even asked me about that. he's a muscle car guy and he thought maybe i knew something about imports that he didn't. i told him the movie was full of shizit and he told me stories...

i live in snow and salt country, actually right across the lake from abstraction, and most cars tend to rot in like ten years if you don't take car of them. find a car wash that has a five day guarantee, if you can, then you can go ten days and only pay for one wash. or save up 500 bucks and...

i got mine from www.extrememotorsports.com they sell a 10 buck kit that includes all the installation stuff that autometer doeasn't include. like t couplings, wiring, an actual hose (not a plastic IV hose or whatever the feck autometer gives you), plus instructions for your car.if you...

yeah, it's like low 15's for an average driver. high 14's for a good one. but you can get mid 14's pretty easily with a few bolt-on's right off that bat. the kid before me ran a 14.8 with my car. but he kinda sucked. i think i can take 'im.yeah, wheel spin does suck. so does torque...

i think it's actually like low 15's bone stock.

it sounded kinda like my HKS when it was vented to the atmosphere. the super sequential BOV has a whistle in it. but i'm not 100% sure what they actually used.did anyone understand why you'd need to double clutch an eclipse? what was he supposed to be driving a big rig? never got that line.
