My old 2.4 block gave up the ghost on the dyno so I had a new 2.4 longrod shortblock built with all billet Magnus internals (rods,crank,Pistons) plus a shotpeened block w ARPs/ACLs etc etc. Short story long.. In the process of getting her ready to go back on the dyno the shop noticed that my...

Well, my never ending battle with this car continues. After dropping an obscene amount of money on parts and labor at a "reputable shop" trying to finally get everything right with this car, I'm practically back to square one. I thought I had everything ready for the dyno when I first took my...

Well, my car made very disappointing numbers on the dyno this week considering how much money I dumped into the new turbo, fuel, and drivetrain setup. It should be pushing over 640whp at 30psi and capable of 40+ psi and over 750whp. However, since my engine supposedly has issues, the shop says...

Well, I hit a wall... not literally, but in terms of power.. and money (sweet baby jeebus this car is bleeding me dry) so I need advice on how to proceed.I've been working on this car myself for years and finally lost the will to finish the project so I caved and took it to "professionals"...

I should probably go ahead and apologize now for this long-winded post.. I'm sorry, but I have to get this off my chest.I tried and tried to give Holset turbo's the benefit of the doubt. I've read repeated posts from multiple people on this forum who have made good numbers with them...

I'm scheduled for a trip to "Modified by KC" for Dyno tuning on the 24th (They're the closest shop near me with an AWD dyno). I'll be switching over to Speed Density on DSMLink V3 and cranking the boost up above 25psi for the first time. I plan to run E85 fuel. I was hoping to get feedback...

The four bolts that hold the throttle body to my intake manifold are coming loose after hard driving. I have a custom 2.75" upper IC pipe connected to a bored (62mm) NT throttle body via a 45 degree silicone coupler and Tbolt clamps. Should I helicoil the threads on the intake mani and use...

Does anyone make a prefabed 3" mandrel bent exhaust section that would connect to a 2 bolt flange at the end of my downpipe (just behind the front wheels) and run all the way back to the rear of the car with another 2 bolt flange to bolt up to my 3" (xforce varex) muffler? I've been to a few...

I have installed almost every mod on my car by myself with the exception of the dual fuel pumps, and I'm afraid they may be the reason why my car won't start at the moment. I have 1 in-tank walbro 255 (installed myself) and a second inline walbro (installed by polk performance). Typically, I...

Please post up pics of 2g's with Volk Te37 or Rota P45R or F wheels if you know where to find some.

Could someone please help me photoshop the wheels from this evo......onto my 2g...Thanks in advance :D

I almost jumped on the bandwagon a few months ago and bought an open tang hta35r, but the more I researched the more I realized that twinscroll turbos should have better spool, volumetric efficiency, and part throttle response and still make great top end power so I kept searching. I know I...

My car is at Polk Performance right now about to be dyno tuned and I need advice on weather or not to have the head ported and upgrade to larger valves before I get it tuned. Does anyone know how much horsepower is possible with a built 2.4 and an unported 2g head? I'm using an scm-6176...

Well, I decided im too old to be riding around in a car that looks like it was in the 2gay/2curious movie, so I pulled off the blitz front bumper and the huge wing and put on a 99 oem spoiler, a 2gb front bumper with a polyurethane lip and had it repainted. I think she looks much better...

So I blew my entire Tax refund on a new Magnus intake, a BBK 62mm TB, and an awesome Wilwood track brake kit. I re-routed my battery to the trunk, installed the intake, TB and brake kit, and switched my intercooler piping to short route. Sure enough, the day after I get the car back together...

My car idles OK (around 800-900 rpms w FP3 cams and 900rpm idle set in dsmlink) when you first start it up. However, after the car warms up and you have been driving for a few minutes the idle goes sky high (3krpms or more) and the car seems to pull itself a little when I'm coasting in gear...

My journal bearing scm6176 has quite a bit of blow-by and is not making the kind of power I would like from my 2.4 engine. I'm thinking about replacing it with a dual ball bearing T4 PT67r. PTE wants $1350 for the pt6776http://www.precisionturbo.net/small-frame-turbochargers.php...

I can get the Baer Big brake track kit w 13" one-piece rotors and 2 piston calipers for around $800 after shippinghttp://www.hopupracing.com/bafrtrclbrsy2.htmlHowever... I also found a Wilwood kit w 4 piston calipers and 12.2" two-piece rotors for about $835...

As soon as I start my car it immediatley revs to 4500 rpms and I cant seem to get it to drop. I've searched the forums for answers and checked the obvious areas that could cause the problem but I still can't get the revs to drop. I checked the biss first, and it's adjusted all the way in. I...

My 7 bolt blew up on me about three weeks ago (I guess it couldn't handle the abuse of the 60-1) and I'm about to pull it out of the car and inspect the damage in the next week or so. I'm trying to evaluate what the best value rebuild procedure is. The engine is a rebuilt 7bolt that was in the...

My car shifts smoothly through all gears but it won't even try to go into reverse. :sosad:

I just bought some HKS 264/272 combo cams (I wanted 272/272 but I couldn't pass them up for the price) and I considered replacing my 2g head with a 1G head as well as a 1g intake mani and a throttle body because, I have read that they flow alot more. Do you think this will net reasonable gains...

I've been told that lots of 60-1 guys are able to run 24psi on pump, but even after tweaking my setings in dsmlink for weeks (on long straight country roads to try and avoid cops :sneaky: ) I still can't seem to boost any higher than 20psi without getting lots of knock. Could this just be...

I knew my ACT 2100 (on the car when I bought it) wouldn't last long, but this is ridiculous. I only made 4 WOT pulls with the new scm61 on the car and it's completely fried. I've heard bad things lately about the ACT 2600, and the sbr 4000 looks promising, but it's really expensive and I...

Im trying to put my body kit on, but the skirts dont fit well at all. There is a lip that folds over inside the door jam. Is this normal, or should it be cut off flush with the edge where the door opening starts?

I have a new intercooler that I'm trying to mount without removing the front bumper. I have not attempted to put the bumper cover on over it, but it seems like the intercooler may be too thick to allow my blitz bumper cover to fit correctly. The dimensions are 24"wide x 11"high x 3" deep. :D...

I just finished installing DSMlink 880cc PTE injectors and a Walbro 255 HP fuel pump (not rewired) and I can't get the car to start. The car cranks and cranks but it won't start. I checked my connections at the pump and everything seems fine. I also checked my fuses to make sure I didn't blow...

My new SCM61 is on the way and I plan on keeping it internally gated. I have a 3" downpipe and a full 3" catback with no cats. I know the 02 housing is going to be a restriction in my exhaust system. So, which is the better price/performance alternative? Should I just get my stock 02 housing...

I just finished ordering a new walbro hp 255, DSMLINK, and and 850cc injectors to support a pte scm61. I need to buy an AFPR, but there are so many to choose from, i'm not sure which are good and which are crap and what the reasonable price range for a quality part should be. I'm hoping to...

I need to purchase my fuel system upgrade parts so that I can install them before I bolt on my new turbo and I need some advice on which injectors to use. So far my setup is as follows:Re-Built engine with JE pistons and Crower Rods K&N style intake 3" powdercoated downpipe custom 3"...

Is this a decent setup, or would I be better off to spend the extra cash and buy a full Garrett Turbo kit.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7920036547&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Hey everyone.This is my first post on this site and I'm still a little confused about a few things. I just bought a silver 95 AWD Turbo DSM about two weeks ago and I plan on modifying it to run at least low 12's. I've been checking these forum's and comparing the different upgrade paths...
