Jake and I have begun to organize cruises for Sunday's. They begin around noon and go till when ever. I have started work again so I have been rather busy. Contact me for more details on cruises.
I got mine from MAPerformance.com. Mounted on a 1G on the throttle cable box with a 90* elbow for the pressure gauge. Bought about $600 worth of parts at the same time so I paid less than $200 for mine (with the install kit and gauge). Extremely happy with it. I recommend getting a good dremel...
You bring that beauty out anytime!! You are always welcome at the meets and feel free to pass on any suggestions to me about the meet as well. Thanks for coming.
Got the knock to go down a little but I'm still having issues. Now it's knocking in second gear. Had one pull where it spiked to 14-15 degs. Wondering how much of this might be phantom knock.
We do have meets every month at that same location. Been going on for 6 months now.Thanks to everyone who showed up. It was great. Lots of tuning help and mod recommendations. Hope to see more meets like this in the future.
This meet is not a DSM only meet. This meet will include a diverse gathering of car enthusiasts with good taste in mods. (Credit to 338vr4)Starting Place: Fry's Electronics - Northgate/I-80Ending Place: IHOP Restaurant - Northgate/I-80Date: March 28thTime: 7:00pmBring your...
The NT TB wasn't designed for turbo models. However have Throttlebodys.com do a rebuild on it and they will put in the necessary upgraded parts so it will last on your GST. The NT can not be ported.
Overall the meet was decent. Not as big of a turnout as I would have liked to of seen but I expected a stightly smaller gathering this month.You guys are doing a great job geting the meet information out there. Every meet we have new attendee's that found out about the meet from other...
I did a 6 bolt swap in my '93 and it's as simple as just swapping the block. Use your current 1g head. You don't need to swap it to the '90. The 1g 7bolt head and 2g 7 bolt head are nothing alike. You still have the large intake ports. You don't need to swap OFH either if you don't want to. Your...
The AR-15 and SKS are the two styles all the magazines rave about and the aftermarket for them is awesome. With all the new advances in modern weaponry and ballistics the old tales about the M-16 and the inaccuracy of the .223 are all but forgotten. I personally prefer Stag Arms or Rock River...
Replace the head gasket.Also, factory head bolts need to be replaced every time you remove the head; they're torque yield. Since the head is off you should replace the pos head bolts with some ARP's.
I enjoy shooting all my guns(Rem. 30-06, Savage .223, XD9, Kimber 1911 .45, Rem. 12G pump, 20G), fixing DSM's(mine or friends), collecting movies and music, videogames(PS3/360) and organize DSM meets in Sac.Anybody in or near Sac go shooting?
I'm interested but i am having to many problems with the car. I was out there at CMI today and there were more than 8 AWD's out there. There were 2 GVR4's, ~6 Evo's, ~4 STI's and ~8 DSM's. All in all it was a great day out there. Wish Ted could have run a 10 but he did good anyway. Can't wait to...
I adjust the location based on what the guys at the meet would like and so far Fry's has been the unanimous decision. If you would like to see the meet migrate south then go to the meets and we will move it provided the location suits us. The problem with Elk Grove is the cops disband any group...
Date: Saturday, December 6thWhen: 7:00pm - WheneverWhere: Fry's Electronics - Northgate and I-80 In October the meet at Fry's brought a good turnout so it's back at Fry's again. Bring about $10 for food cause we will be heading to IHOP afterwards, just like last time. Fry's...
Good times. Like Dustin said at least we know who the "die hards" are!That's alright. Next one will back at Fry's.Thanks for the T-body Jake. Idle is a lot smoother now. Now I just ned to rewire the Fuel Pump and get a better alternator.
Panda 1g turning south on Pacific St. from Rocklin Rd. at about 3:30pm today. Couldn't tell anything about the car. to much traffic between me and him.Wednesday saw a Blue/Black 1ga turbo at Cirby and Riverside. We've talked before but I didn't have my talon at the time.
You might have broken the 3-4 shift rail. Same thing happened in my Toyota. When I pulled it apart I found the rail snapped in two. If the cables, and clutch assembly are still in good order then it's either a fork or rail.
The S258 (part number 200100-3 ExtremePSI.com) with a .70 or .76 hot side or the 30R with a large A/R hotside would give you the lag you want for launch. The 30R, if you went BB, with a .63 A/R would work also.Check out this thread (dsmtuners.com) for info on the FP Red. This guy is also a...
You should look at a different turbo. The 6162 is a bit much for your stated goals. With your stated goal of around 400whp with the recommended 2.0L you would enjoy the performance of quicker spooling turbo more than the 6162.I would recommend taking a look at one of these turbo's...
Date: November 8th, 2008Time: 7:00pm - WheneverLocation: Galt Plaza Shopping Center, 1055 C St. Galt, Ca - Google MapsNote: Remember that the meets are a great place to pick the brains of fellow DSMer's. Last meet we had a couple guys helping with DSMLink. If you want hands...
After having my full turbo-back custom built I'll never buy a production exhaust. It's so much easier to get exactly what you want out of an exhaust. Of course I'm not talking about having midas build you an exhaust. Have a reputable performance shop do it. To many production exhausts have...
It's more work than it is worth. Find a shop that is willing to trade one of the AWD tranny's and $100 for a FWD tranny.You'd have to swap the cases and eliminate the center diff. If you are willing to do this then you might as well pick up a FWD tranny from a scrap yard and rebuild it.
For reliability sake do the 6 Bolt block with your 2g head. While the head is off might as well have it reconditioned and ported.+1 for DSMLink and a wideband. A good tune will net you some good power.
The meet at Fry's was great and thanks to every one who showed up. Given that there aren't any guys coming from Woodland and further north we probably won't have it there again.I wasn't planning on having anybody from out of town appear so it was a pleasant surprise and I would like to...
Good meet guys. Turnout was great and a good group of guys. Thanks to SiNiST3R for posting about the meet in NorCalForums and lglracer for handing out flyers.
Sounds like your timing is off at the low rpm. If you don't have a datalogger to verify your timing then just bump up the idle a little. I run mine around 950 warm.
ApexVIII You should be in the 12's with the mods you have. My car ran a 13.6 on the 14b with the boost at 17psi and a 3" exhaust the rest of the car was stock.
When: Saturday, October 11Time: 7:00pm - WheneverWhere: Fry's Electronics - Northgate and I-80 Fry's Electronics, North Highlands, CA - Google MapsI'm sure after the meet and greet we will probably cruise.Glad to see a few guys from out of the Sac area showing interest...
The DSMLink will give a broader range of tuning than the SAFC. I'd go with the DSMLink, than your not spending money twice. When you get the DSMLink you can access their forums and there is a ton of support and others have posted their maps so you can compare. You will start to understand how to...
I upgraded my stock 14b to a 16G with ported 2G mani and turbine housing running 15psi and have no creep. The only fuel upgrade is a 255lph pump and an AFPR. If you do go with a 16G either go with a external WG or an O2 housing with a WG dump. Should have no creep at 15psi.
+1 on the exhaust. I'd also upgrade to the SMIM first. Run proper cams for the rpm range you want to run at. Wait on the springs and retainers until you get new cams. Mights as well do them all at once since the valve cover is off.
I have all but the large center honeycomb removed from my MAS and it idles a little rough at times. If you removed the large center honeycomb then you need to put it back.I also found that backing out the tps a little helped with the rough idle.If it's to annoying then just get a GM MAF...
