I'm relocating my air filter to the wheel well area. My mas to filter unit is 4.5", and the filter is also 4.5". Extreme PSI sells a 4.5" coupler, but only a 4" 90 degree pipe. I've been trying to call all the diesel truck areas around here trying to find either exhaust or aluminum 4.5" pipe...
I installed PTE 680cc a few months ago and retuned it doing 3rd gear pulls using the wideband. Had most of the afrs at 11:1, so I thought I was doing alright. Went the track the next day using these settings, I was running 13:1!!! :ohdamn: So I richen everything WAAAY up so I'm around...
Okay quick question...I've read a few people have gone through this situation, but now that it happened to me I feel like I'm the only one...Just installed PTE 680cc injectors. I have a re-wired 190 pump, stock fuel pressure regulator, pocketlogger, and wideband.Before I started the...
WMDSM.com folk have been getting around to gather dsmers to get to track 131 on May 15th for midnight madness. Test and tune is 5pm-11pm, and midnight madness is from 9pm-1am.
It has not yet been decided where (if) people are meeting to cruise down there together. I personally would love to...
A week ago I installed all my winter supplied I had collected, of which included a Mishimoto radiator and a Megan catch-can. Installed everything and everything was good, but a fan blade was hitting my compressor outlet pipe, so I decided to get slime-lines. Ordered two Mishimoto 12" slime...
Finally installed a wideband last year, got in accident, couldn't drive the dsm till this year. Tuned it with pocketlogger previously, everything (and by that I mean basically the timing curve) looked smooth and straight. I'm looking now on the wideband, and even around -23, -24, and -25 I'm...
With my turbo I don't think it would help out too much (FP Big28)...but I'm looking at maybe needing a new head :banghead: Would I see gains in any way with a slowboy stage 1 head (simply a remanufactured head with a 5 angle valve job)? Or just stick with a stock 2G head? Thanks in advance...
I just picked this up for cheap, intending to use it only for the valve cover to intake route. I'm guessing there is a diagram in the box or on the unit itself, but has anybody used this product for what I'm doing? Three nipples, which is for what? Does one nipple need a breather filter? Is...
I've been searching and searching but can't find it...Last year I found many threads from different writers about how the transmission fluid from the 2005 Evo MR runs beautifully in 2G GSX manual tranmission. And as I just said, now I can't find any of those threads to remind myself about...
currently - fp big28 (set at 20psi), 550cc, 190lph re-wired, safc IIquestion - will I see any difference in such a simple setup if I only put in 650cc injectors? When searching, I've seen that many people have been successfully running 650cc with a re-wired 190, but using it on a 16g, etc...
Very simple question I have...By now everybody's getting sick of seing my name as the thread starter of the OBD II problems. I've done everything I can think of, but my OBD just isn't working, so my palm n' stein logger is currently useless. I've tried different loggers, had different garages...
I'm using a palm n' stein data logger. Worked flawlessly for a year. Then I started getting "no rev" error codes. I would say maybe 1 out of every 20 times I try to connect it will work, but the logger will freeze within a minute and lose connection. I go to autozone and try theirs...
I'm pretty familiar now after 2 years of tuning with my SAFC and 550cc and re-wired 550lph. I do have a question about lo thr setting...550s are -18% than stock 450s, and I understood it when I was first starting out with the setup to start the tune at -10% and go from there...I've had the lo...
I've become suspicious that my OBD II/serial port connector has become faulty. It's the unit that comes with the kit from dsmloggers.com. I love the software and everything has worked great for a long time, but now I constantly get NO REV reads and no communicatino is successful. Does anybody...
As my subject says, I fixed my idle surge. It was the ISC. I put a new one on and had a shop down the street re-adjust my BISS. My car idles at 750 +/- 50 pretty perfectly, however it seems like it's struggling electrically. The CEL, SRS, and ABS lights on my cluster dim in and out, and the...
I've read through any idle problem thread I could find, and my situation is still unique so far. I've had my 2G for 4 years. I bought it completely stock. After I did an exhaust on it, it would stall (SOMETIMES) if I were to go from full boost to suddenly clutching and braking. So no big...
I HAVE SEARCHED!!! I have had no luck finding any threads on FORCED PERFORMANCES' cams. My turbo is small enough that I will get the best power band (IMO) with the FPCAM1 (equivalent to HKS' 264). Does anyone have any experience with the cams from FP? I love their turbos and other products I...
In the palm n' stein threads that I found when searching, nobody mentioned anything of having this problem. I've had the palm n' stein for awhile now, the majority of the time it was permanently connected in the car. Ever since I unhooked it from the car (I now only hook it up when I need to...
Quick question: I've had my SAFC II in the car for just over a year. When I installed it, I set the NE points to 700, 1400, 2100, and so on, every 700 increments that the unit would allow. When I read over the proven DSM safc II tuning guide, it says to set the NE points to 1000, 2000, 3000...
Hey hey, I have a re-wired 190 pump, 550cc injectors, and I tune with an SAFC II unit. I'm running a ported FP Big28. I have no knock problems at 21 psi and everything has been going well for a couple years now with the set up. I'm happy where it all is, but without upgrading the entire...
When I bring the dsm ('96 AWD) outta storage in a few weeks I've planned on throwing in an ACT 2600 pressure plate with a street disc. I've had the 2100 for almost 3 years now and it is just about spent.
I've lately seen that a 2600 will give me a much greater percentage of having crankwalk...
When ordering a set of NGK Iridium plugs, i couldn't find a "1-step colder" iridium plug, they only had a 0-step and a 2-step. I ordered the 2-step, and decided not to put them in until I figured this out. They are labeled BPR7EIX, and I'm currently using NGK BPR7ES. Is the Iridium BPR7EIX...
I've had the ACT 2100 plate and street disc and XACT lightened flywheel for probably 2 years now. I've done somewhere between 30-50 launches on it at the track, although I couldn't tell you from what rpm exactly cause either my car or myself does better by pulsating the rpm at the line. The...
Okay so I'm finally going to work on the pieces I already have instead of spending money on other stuff that probably won't reach it's full potential. This weekend I'm going to tear off the turbo and manifold and O2 housing. I have the FP Big28 with Evo III exhaust manifold and Evo III O2...
Alright so I feel I've done enough on the outside to start moving on into the engine. I'm running 13s right now on a FP Big28 with 550cc injectors and a 190lph re-wired pump and all of the other well supporting mods for my setup. I'm curious as to whether I could go with Comp 264 cams with the...
This past weekend I had my local garage put on a new timing and balance belt - THAT'S IT. Now I go pick it up today and when the car is turned on, it feels as if the MAS is unconnected. I check, but it's all connected. My data logger has always spit out a 1109 code (I THINK that's what it is...
Just curious to see what others with similar setups are running - unported turbo, evo iii mani and o2 housing, 550cc and 190 lph (rewired), along with other supporting mods. I'm running 21 psi on my unported FP Big28 with a 17psi actuator.
My highest hg. th. point is -20 at about 5800...
Hey yall over there in Southern California. I'm gonna be in your area for spring break this year and I'm very excited to actually go shopping in all the performance stores in person that I've always had to only order stuff from online before. Also, what are some of the common times and places...
I think this is a very obvious question (in thinking that the answer is NO), but just incase it WOULD work I would rather know it early...If I replace the stock O2 sensor for any of the wideband O2 sensors, will the a/f on my apexi turbo timer then be officially a wideband sensor? Thanks for...
Anybody out there using the apexi super grounding unit to stabalize their voltages? And secondly, where do you have it grounded to? Alternator and what? ThanksBen :talon:
Finally felt like spring today so I took the car outta storage and decided I needed some little extra 'ummf' of power...so let me know how this sounds.
I've been running 21psi on my 190 fuel pump (rewired) with 550 injectors on my FP Big28 (unported :/ ). I just picked up some NGK BPR8...
After I upgraded the fuel system with a S-AFC II, 550cc, and a 190lph pump (unwired so far), at random occasions my car just stalls while I'm driving, usually when I'm slowing down. Any ideas to what's wrong?Ben :talon:
Okay I'm NOT the electrical guy, I only do the physical mechanic stuff. All this crimping and smuldering and all of that for the rewire is completely over my head, and I don't even think I have the correct tools for. Is there anybody around the East Lansing area (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids...
so tuning with the SAFC II, everything I've read tells me to start tuning the timing at WOD from 3,000 RPM onwards to well above 6K, and that's what I've been doing for the past few days. ...So what about lower RPM ranges? Do I tune those later or leave them how they are? Thanks in advance...
Okay so this past weekend I put in 550cc injectors, 190 pump (without the rewire...I know I know, but I'll probably get it done soon), and the S-AFC II. I've tuned the LO THR so that my STFT and LTFT equal out to 0, +/- ~7. I've also tuned the HG THR...this will DEFINETELY take a lot longer...
So I just ordered my last part for my fuel system upgrade, so in a couple of days I'll be putting in a 190lph pump with re-wire, 550cc injectors, and a S-AFC II. After I get all of this in and I tune the short and long fuel trims, WILL I SAFELY BE ABLE TO RAISE MY BOOST LEVEL TO ~19 PSI?
I'm...
I have the detailed instructions from the Haynes manual, but I hear a lot of different things from what everybody says about an aftermarket pump. Can anybody send me a link please to a step by step/however install instruction for the FP 190lph for a 2G? Thanks a lotBen :talon:

What would be a safe boost level to run my FP Big28 at without any fuel modifications? Right now I have it so it peaks at around 14 and then drops down to about 12. ThanksBen :talon:
Okay so for the past year I've had my boost controller pressure source to the compressor housing. This evening I changed it so the pressure source is from the bov to the manifold. I have also tee'd off the actuator to controller hose to the compressor housing. If this is wrong, please let me...
Alright so I just finished with my FP Big28 install and it's running great right now. Everything in my profile is up to date for the car. My next move for sure is I'm getting a logger. But after that I want to start tuning, so should I get my AFC II or would it be the absolute smartest thing...
So I just got new turbo on and tomorrow I'm finishing up torquing everything. But I need to konw how to prime the engine before I actually start it to get some oil through the turbo. Can anyone help me out real quick and let me know how I go about doin that? Thanks a lot.Ben...
I've found some pictures of it when I wasn't looking for it, but of course now that I need it, I can't find any pictures of where the SS oil line for a turbo swap is to be connected. It looks like the stock line is right at the oil filter, but on the bottom side of the filter housing there is a...
I feel like I'm going to be having everybody on this site helping me out by the time I'm done installing such a simple turbo. But okay, my next dilema...My oil drain bolt is stripped!!!! I could get a little use outta my wrench but then it completely stripped so the wrench just turns...
so i've gotten some of my hoses confused. What hose connects to the nipple (on a T25 or T28) inbetween the compressor inlet and the lower intercooler pipe arm? I'm pretty sure it is one of two choices: It is just a straight hose from the nipple to another nipple on the air intake pipe. OR I...
Alright guys and gals I need your help. I'm about to swap out my T25 for an unported FP Big 28. Currently I'm running with the Evo III exhaust manifold as well as the Evo III O2 housing, both of which are unported.
I've been told by some people to keep everything even, so if the mani...
First off thanks to those of you who answered my questions the other day about the KYB shocks. Now I got one more for yall.
To add a little more detail about my intentions for my car, it's to continue being my daily driver in Lansing, Michigan (pothole capital of the U.S. pretty much)...
So my driver side front strut is blown and I'm going to be replacing all for corners cause it's just about that time. I"ve been riding with B&G springs for about 8 months on the stock shocks. Anybody have any horrible experience with the GR2? I know there are a lot better ones out there, and...
