I decided my 12” Wilwood BBK wasn’t enough with the new wheels and came across a used TCE Wilwood front and rear kit. These are 13” rotors front and rear with 6-piston and 4-piston calipers. They filled the wheels much better. And it stops pretty good.
Got around to installing my new Advans. 18x8.5 +31. These are the cored cavity versions meaning the spokes are hollow, allowing these to be super light while being cast. Fitment was spot on with 235/40/18 Firehawks.
I got around to getting my lower IC pipe remade and getting a dump tube made. The previous owner had put some clapped out intercooler contraption down there as a pipe. Anyways, properly routed and welded now and my wastegate is actually dumping outside the car now. So it’s a win/win.

I'm running Windows 10. I have experience with ecuflash prior to this with a shop I used to work at. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers multiple times. I've moved the usb around to different ports, I've tried turning the ignition on exactly when I hit initialize, nothing...
Finally got around to replacing the cheap ass triple pod and glowshit gauge. Autometer to the rescue on the pod and AEM with an oil pressure gauge. Now it’s not so terrible.
A little late, but both my DSM's were tuned at Turbolab in Orem via blackbox. Joe was really knowledgeable, but he isn't the most "people" person, he's pretty direct. If you can see past that, you'll do good. Lol.
Replaced my waterlogged clear lenses with some tinted ones I picked up from a member on here. Also added the Cupra-R lip to the bumper. Much mo’ better.
I had my good friend take care of the paint as it was in desperate need of attention. Still has some clear coat bad spots on the hood, but overall looks great.
First things I addressed were the headlights and bumper. Replaced the headlights with some OEM style amazon specials. Bumper had the fog light holes shaved and repainted.
I’ll start from the beginning. Picked this up out of Ohio. Was pretty clean for the most part. Low mileage, black interior, few bolt-on’s Already done. It was a great starting point.
I researched and researched and did not find an answer that appealed to me so I am posting...1999 GST Built bottom end with around 50k miles on it. I'm getting around 5psi of pressure at idle and only about 25psi at 3200rpms. Now, before we go with the duh, it's bad senario, let me say...
Thanks guys. Yeah, it does sound good. Best example I can give you is that it sounds like a BPU supra. And that was coming from someone else that heard it...maybe I can just dream it's a supra or something.
I'm sure I could have made more power with the 16g if I had something better to tune with and cams and whatnot...overall, I am very pleased with the results.
This is the graph in comparison to my last Evo3 16g pull. The 16g is on 25ish psi...And this is the graph on it's own. SBR 50trim with stock head on 20psi....SBR stage 2 block, stock head, RRE O2 eliminator DP, FP 4" intake, DSMchips 3 chip, Safc 2...
Correct and if you have the ability to take advantage of timing and ethanol you will be able to see the dramatic decrease in spool times, as compared to pump gas and racegas also its a different monster, I have done probably 20 different e85/e100 setups and they have all been a blast. We even...
AMEN!!!!:rocks:spoken like a true turbo nerd like myself:D We do tons of backpressure tests here at the shop, its one way of finding out really what turbo, exh wheel, and turbine housing. Its very aparent to quite a few DSM owners here locally why their turbos wil lmake a million psi of...
Be certain to watch your oil!E85 will break down conventional oil rather quickly. Have had 2 local supras spin bearings. We currently have our "street" turbo hatchback on e85/100 making a little over 600@25psi of boost. We did 3 oil tests on it. Mobil1, Rotella T, Castrol Syntec. The...
I really wouldnt mind seeing some back pressure tests with the larger modified MHI styled turbos, I am willing to bet they are higher and larger than what is accepted as "normal"That turbine wheel looks to be a tad small. No matter what you put in or how fast youput it in, it eventually has...
I would be very cautious with the ITS turbo as ITS really isnt around anymore, a couple guys left and came up with COMP turbo which are very good, they make a triple, yes triple ball bearing turbo.That turbo in a .96AR T4 even if it were a true twin scroll with a twin scroll manifold would...
I never siad NOT to use it on the manifold i said NON structural things like charge piping, downpipes and etc. Manifolds, have to be backpurged. on thinner smaller stuff i use pickling paste and that is a chemical form of backpurging. I have been welding for almost 15 years. been making...
I personally like to use the term "Positive boost" because spool seems way to overused, generic, and can mean a million different things to a million different people.Have any of you guys tried the BEP S366? its a little pricier ut will deliver over 80lbs/min in a T3 frame turbo.I do...
Dont wrap or coat anything of "gauge" type steel pre-turbo. All your going to do is make everything on the inside hotter and kill the material. That type of material wasnt designed for turbo manifolds.What youre looking for is "schedule pipe" not "tubing" gauge refers to tubing, which is...
