The second round of Rally America is the Rally in the 100AW is this upcoming weekend in Salem, Missouri which is 90 miles southwest of St. Louis and 30 miles south of Rolla, Missouri in the Ozark foothills. That is the closest any national stage rally will be for the original poster. Rally...

Rally Racing News — North America's Source ... A very good resource. (click on latest news, the 2010 calendar will be one of the first things you see)Look on the calendar, it provides a very concise list of RA, RA regional, USRC, CARS etc. 2011 calendar will likely be available...

Awesome Dmitry, good start, now it's time to move on to two day events.

1994 AWD DSM's are rare. I asked this question back in the day with the Talon Digest in 1999. I was told 200 some 1994 GSX's and 700 some AWD talon Tsi's were made. Not sure about '94 Lasers but they were low. Nevertheless they are among the rarer DSM models like the 1998. I won't get...

Not so, RA regional events offer Open Light class, a NA AWD vehicle is permitted. Take off the turbo of your car. Open Light, PGT, Open classes are your options. Coefficients are earned in various ways, NASA sanctioned rallys, O'Neil rally school. I believe it is 9 coeffecients must be...

Nowadays any AWD DSM that you find that isn't yet whored out is a good option, base it a lot on condition.

This is exactly true, the reason why this hasn't been discussed is DSM's are not yet classic cars. That's all there is to this question, nobody here has an accurate response and it's understandable why there isn't. THere are records, but these have not become public knowledge because there...

Isn't the SCI for inductive ignition systems? You may be SOL, DSM's use a DIS.

Look on vfaq.com under "Fuel". Somewhere is a comprehensive test of psi vs. flow rates for OEM, 190 and 255 high and low pressure pumps. Know that the base fuel pressure is too high for a stock regulator and a 255lph, piece this information together and you will come up with a suitable...

You need to see places like BR port. You really don't need to spend that much time, smoothing out the runners and removing the lip at the collector are the main things, other that that you will not need to do too much more. For those about to port match, be careful and aware that there are...

If anybody here has read the installation manual for SAFCI and II it specifically states that you should NEVER use vampire connectors , there is a good reason as previously stated. If you don't want to spend the time to solder your wires on present or current modifications require that wiring...

:laugh: Killer story bro.

Sorry, I was wrong. to reset look for the "initialize" menu

You have to rid your ISC (1gs for instance have to have the ECU reprogrammed), so discuss all the linkage and assembly section all you want to. THis is for big boost, high CFM setups which require a proper EMS...spelled out your setup will never require it.

It is in the manual, check out APEXi's website if you don't have one. Look in the menus, pass lock should grab your attention

Bottle heaters are now disallowed at some sanctioned tracks/ racing organizations.EGT, you should have one if you are starting to mess around with any device that alters fuel delivery. If used properly will help you make inferences to ignition timing, which is important when you burn more...

My brother was making points, and he has a working knowledge of a DSM. Not knowledge based on posts and the "potential" be be the quickest. Like you're the man pube stache , nice profile with no time slips. Evan races at UTL events, which are close to Toledo, so if you wish to run your...

Good, then go tell Marco he doesn't know what he's doing and design your own because you are a true automotive visionary. Tell everybody who have dyno tested them and got improved numbers that they're wrong as well, the improvements must have been acts of God. It works, WTF are you arguing...

The collector region is highly important. It's a bad idea especially on our manifold that has all the runners running horizontally until all 4 merge in the collector region. It has the very important function of directing the gasses downwards towards the turbo, so theoretically this will have...

Yes, -6 would too small, and -8AN may be cutting it too close. My buddy uses a -10 AN and this was based upon comparing the stock return line to the -10 AN size.

http://www.teamrip.com/clutch%20adjustment.htmlTry reading what TRE is saying first, they give a proper reason why you should not do this, they don't have their head up their asses. I have witnessed this problem last year with the stock 2G disk being used with a NEW ACT 2600 clutch. I am...

True, but the point needs to be taken that it does have a real impact.Specifically spool time between shifts will be affected if it is not a proper design.

It's a universal part for many makes and models. Search for install instructions on a site like vfaq.com and the APEXi website

It's aluminized steel, aluminum wouldn't hold up at all.SS will last a very long time. My ATR has been through a couple winters and is fine, if you are planning on getting the last exhaust you will ever need then go with SS. If you're on a budget and not concerned about corrosion then...

Not very correct, part of the trick is the bleeder hole that most don't know what the heck does and overlooks. A properly designed boost controller has these, that's why you should always purchase one that has one. Spool up time would be adversely affected if a controller didn't have it. So...

Either one will work, I use the 13101. The rest is fittings and AN line, you better be good at putting this together, high pressure and fuel gives unforgiveable f%^$ ups.

Quotation: This summer I am planning on going with a td06h 20g and supporting mods. Im just curious as to what you all think I should get? T.I.A.Based on this I will safely assume you want to make some power. Because of this I am not a big fan of recommending a stock lightened flywheel due...

I have heard of people totally screwing up attempting to fix this, drilling too deep or at an angle making additional problems, so depending on your own mechanical abilities use caution or don't try it at all. It's something that has a easy explanation, but more difficult than it seems and is...

Payn Technologies in Troy for installations. http://www.payntechnologies.com Devin Pearce has extensive DSM experience, former Crew Chief for OSOFAST.As for body and paint, I don't know. But due to the amount of Detroit Muscle around you should have no trouble finding some shop with...

For a 1990 the only direct replacement is with a 90 ECU.However the differences are known and 91-94 ECU's can be used with modifications. Search.

there are 3 ways of reducing knock, retard the ignition timing, air intake temperature and the use higher octane fuel.Higher octane fuel offers the benefit of a more controllable burn and is not likely to burn prematurely. Lower octane fuels and the combination of a higher comprssion ratio...

If your intentions are good then you should have no difficulty asking the Secretary of State (DMV) regarding your issue, whatever it is.A lot of things regarding title, ownership, and VIN have been worked out since people have started restoring cars.

$235 for a POS pacesetter, don't get taken advantage. The moment I saw one of these I laughed, poor collector and crappy welds score no points for Pacesetter, fabrique en Mexico.

I remember when I damaged my honeycomb when it was off the car. I had a crapped out one available. I carefully cut the glue and removed the honeycomb from the donor MAS, enabling a transplant.

I would look at your ignition timing first, especially since you indicate that with higher octane fuel it went away.

1. Big 16G 2. Fabrication was necessary, the ATR had to be modified 3. It dumps into the O2 housing. The tube runs about 1/2" above the O2 housing's flange, the tubing is a little over a 90 degree bend (started with a 180 deg. bend)If you are planning on routing it to the o2 housing I...

I have a Tial 38mm, off the #1 runner, and routed back into the a ATR 02 housing so it's something along the lines you are asking about. I have not had a problem with boostcreep (17 psi street and 24 psi track) and the length of my dumptube is approximately 7 inches.As said before this is...

230304ERL -4 AN in/outletsJust so you know I have not used this part so I can't speak of its efficacy, performance, or filtering characteristics.

Earl's gives different part numbers for their inline oil and fuel filters. Based on what I've seen the filter element for fuel vs. oil is different. This makes complete sense due to the physical properties of oil and gasoline. Fuel filters use a finer screen and oil would not easily flow...

The original poster has a 1G, a BOV is not necessary. The funny thing is that the people recommending it are 2G people so they're right and wrong.Start with an exhaust.Lastly, I don't know the condition of your car. But if it needs a timing belt replaced, a tune up, and new fluids I...

I guess you should read the above link, this may be OK for stock range boost, but for higher boost levels this won't work too well.

Fine, I'll elaborate, if it is cotton mesh APEXi then you would treat it the same as a K&N

You should NOT use compressed air while cleaning, I remember this stated clearly in the K&N cleaning instructions, regardless if it's on the in or outside of the filter.

For those using 255 lph pumps without a AFPR need to reconsider. Your base pressure will be sky high, not a good thing. I don't know an exact value, but it is near 50 some psi. It's not that more psi is bad, it is because you are off the linear range of the volume vs. psi graph and...

AN fittings by themselves are designed not to require any type of sealant. The sealing surface is due to the design, the male tapered surface and the female's concave surface. Liquid teflon works best, but it is used primarily to prevent galling and to allow for easier assembly and...
