Ok guys i have a thread up on talk that im gonna link to but ill give everyone the short of it real quick. Basically we're looking at making a sheet metal plenum to bolt on in place of the factory one. Something that will flow more along with porting the short runners and probably even...

I've recently begun collecting the parts to start my 2.3 project. First thing i bought was a brand new mitsu crank that had been balanced. Now my question here is the balancing job that was done.In the first 2 pics you can see that they got too close to the side wall on the counter weight...

So the clip that attaches to the actual stock sending unit seems to have gone MIA. I've looked all over the area in the engine bay and can't find it nor 2 loose wires. Can anybody tell me where the wires lead to from the clip? If i knew where they started i might be able to locate where it...

I searched and didn't come up with much. I dont know that exact names for everything so please bear with me. I noticed a vibration the other day. I thought maybe the exhaust was rubbing on the driveshaft. Sure enough i look under the car and a couple of the hangers aren't connected. So i...

I'm looking for a little feedback on these springs. Before anyone says it, yes i searched but didn't really come up with much. They are listed in the parts catalog but that's as much as i can find. Thanks

Ok here's the deal. I'm running a PTE 5031bb. Because it's a BB turbo i have to run a restrictor that goes in between the oil feed lines and the turbo itself. It was leaking alittle oil right where the restrictor screws into the turbo so i went to give it another 1/4 to 1/2 turn to tighten it...

Ok last night i put my cat back in so i could go get my inspection today and fixed an exhaust leak up at the manifold from a loose exhaust stud. It took a couple tries to get the leak fixed the best i could. In between each try i went and started the car to see/hear if it was still there and...

So i was on my way home the other night and noticed my turbo wasn't really spooling and i couldn't hear my BOV. When i got home i popped the hood and noticed that the pipe for the external was cracked. I came out the next morning when i could actually get my hands in there to find that the...

Me and a few of my buddies with dsm's will be out the on sunday. Last day of the season before they close. Come out and have some fun if yoru gonna be around. Let me know if anybody plans on showing up.

Ok i've been hearing this grinding noise. Sounds like the front drivers side wheel to me. It's comparable to when the brakes are running low and the little arm is scraping against the rotor. But it's much more of a grinding noise. I let the family mechanic look at it real quick for me and...

So i just got my car back from getting a new head, tranny, cams and turbo on. I then put a new front mount on as well. I was having a problem with idling but eventually the ecu learned the new setup and its better now though not completely gone. I did a search but couldn't find any one with...

So last fall first time i got to go to the track after about 6 runs or so my 2nd gear synchro didn't like me anymore. From that point on i just couldn't bang 2nd for the life of me without it grinding. Just about anybody who's been into DSM's for a while knows who Team Rip is. I've wanted one...

OK so i just got my car back from getting a new head, cams, tranny, fmic and turbo. My problem is that i cant keep my car started for the life of me. I turn it on and it seems to idle fine but then starts to sputter a little then dies. If i try to turn it back on the car will start at 500...

I need some pics of what this actuator looks like. My current setup wont allow me to mount my fans with the actuator in place so someone suggested the agp piece but they dont have dimensions or pics. Can anybody help here?

I wasn't sure if this should go into problem diagnosis or turbo tech so im putting it here. If im wrong please move it. Ok so i put my new turbo on the other day and to my dismay the wastegate actuator comes about 1/2" from the radiator. I can't fit either fan back on now because of it...

Just wanted to see what you guys think about the new turbo im getting. I had alittle incident installing a bullseye power ex. housing on my evo 16g and basically the whole compressor side got messed up. I sent it back to them and Dan rebuilt it for me using different parts from around his shop...

I just wanted to share my experience so far with installing and running my Keydiver stage 3 chip. It came with compensation for 650's, extended a/f and timing maps, raised fuel cut by 40%, 850 idle, and the stock a/f ratio has been raised from 9.5:1 to 10.5:1. So far i have to say this thing...

I've heard about people with phantom knock rewiring their alternator to help fix the problem. I can't seem to really find any info on this. Can anyone explain exactically what is invloved with doing this? Pics would be great too.

I was just curious if any else has bought anythign from pickens. He cliamed not to long ago that he came up with a solution for boost creep. Well he was askin 25 bux for it so i figured what the hell i might as well give it a shot before i spend alotta money to fix it. Bad choice!!!! I talked...

I was just curious about this. I've been checkin out the evo 6.5 16g turbo that bolts right up to an evo 8. I realize that the ex. housing inlet is much different and it would take a custom manifold atleast. Let me know if you guys think it can be done and how.

Hey i need to know the weight of a 2g turbo head. It doesnt have the valve cover or the cams and gears but does have everything else. Thanx

I just put in a new bettery and alternator yesterday since my alternator decided to take a crap on me. I replaced the battery at the same time just cuz it was old and we all know how long abattery in a dsm will last. Before this my logger was reading around 14v on my battery now when i turn...

I just installed my gm mass in the uicp last night. i had the boost set at 16 psi prior to doing this. After i got all doen and was goin for a test ride when i floor it it holds steady at 16 till abotu 5k then rips up to 20 psi. How could the mas set up or uicp have anything to do with boost...
