has anyone put a cutout on a turbo 420a? i ordered one from summit and when i have the money i will make it an electric cutout but for now i will just use the plate. where do you think i should put it in the exhaust? i was thinking before the cat. will that mess up the way my car runs?

So I am running a oil restrictor on my turbo. I have the restrictor directly in my turbo(1/8th npt) Because of this it puts my feed line kinda close to the exhaust. Would i be ok to move it to the other side of the line off the OFH. I searched but there were no threads I could find about the...

I had a crack in my tranny cover so it is getting TIG welded. (the outside cover thingy) My haynes manual dosent give me torque specs for those bolts. What are they?

I just got a FF oil filter housing. It seams to only have one port in it. How are you guys plumbing your stock sensors and turbo feed lines when you use these?

Why is this logger cable owning me? I have re made it 3 times and it wont work. I figure it shouldnt be that hard to make one. I am trying to log with a laptop so I switched pins 2 and 3 so the dioed is on pin 3 and the resistor is a 10k from radio shack. Here are the pics. I just used some...

Would 4AN lines be big enough to run for a catch can? I happen to have a few laying around and am cleaning things up. I currently run rubber hose that appears to be bigger than the 4 AN lines I have. Just curious what you guys think.Sam

I am in the market for adj cam gears. Looking on some sites and ebay for the best deal I have some questions. They have up close pics of some of the gears and some of them appear to not have timing marks. They have the adjustment marks on top but I see some with no marks on the side of the...

I am curious as to when the stock cams are hurting your power. At what level of HP do the stockers give up? I have been driving my car around on WEB 546/547 cams for a few years. I dont want to say I have problems with them but.... They do take something away from street driving. When I...

So I have been think about getting a early 6 bolt oilfilter housing. I keep loosing my ebay auctions for them. Then I thought about this kit:eBay Motors: New TD Filter Relocation Kit 1990-04 Mitsubishi Eclipse (item 220147416073 end time May-02-08 21:22:32 PDT)Seems nice and I can use...

I was looking at replacing my IC pipes with the SSAC pipes from ebay. It says it has a universal 2 inch bov flange..... What BOV does this fit or do I have to by a flange of choice to weld onto these pipes? Looks like a tial flange right?eBay Motors: 90-94 Eclipse Turbo FMIC Intercooler...

Well I am chilling in Iraq right now. This place sucks but it lets me think alot about stuff I want to try with my car. Right now I have a 50 trim from xs power on there. It does pretty good but I know it will fail soon. The holset is a great option for cheap reliable power. I have two T-3...

well i am almost done with my little project. i took out the worthless backseat and made a fiberglass speaker box/ carputer box. my touchscreen comes in this week and i can install. here are some pics. the keyboard is mounted to a custom visor and wont be used much cause of touch screen.

I am going to have my last try at the track this weekend. I got the car running pretty good aside from the occasional IC pipe getting blown off. While tuning I am curious about what is more important for power timing or afr. Should I tune for the 11.1:1 afr and pull timing so I dont get knock...

I am tring to battle boost spike on my setup. I am running 22 psi but it will spike to about 27 and go down to 22. My setup is a t3/t4. 57 trim wheel with a 63 ar housing. I am running a 38mm external wastegate. I went to a local speed shop and the guy there thinks that the wastegate is to...

Can you check the base timing with the light and cam gears. I do not have a timing belt cover so I am not sure how to check base timing.

Well I was on a trip from Missouri to Virginia and my car died in Evansville In. Anyway I stored it there and bought a truck to tow it back. I finally got to tearing it apart and to my supprise the belt was still intacked. Kind of.... There was a section of the belt where the teeth were...

I am alittle confused on timing and what a good curve looks like on a FI motor. I have heard things like run as much as you can untill you knock or to have a nice curve starting at 10 degrees at 2000rpm and gradually work your way up to 20 at redline. Now thinking about it the faster your rpm...

Well after messing with the maft/safc setup for over 1 year I wanted more. I really like the idea of speed density and for the price this is hard to beat. I urge you to visit www.ds-map.net to do more reading and see if this is right for you.OK here we go.Parts list:GM 3 bar map...

I put in a new clutch (xtd stage 4) about 3 months ago. Anyway I had to do the job twice because I did not shim the pivot ball. I reused the ball and fork. Anyway now I am having clutch engagement problems again. I figure that the pivot ball is worn too much and the fork might be aswell. I...

I am having a problem with my car. It wants to miss at wot and also sometimes had a hard time starting. Both these are because of spark. I have had several hard starts in the last week and I know the injectors are firing. I replaced plugs and wires and it will still do it every so often. It...

I have been tuning alot latley and tring to get my car running good again with the stock 14b. I have my maft set for 680's and my idle tuned with the maft aswell. I had to lean it out a good bit to adjust for the dead time with the 680s. But I have it around 14.7:1 at idle. Anyway of my...

I got a good deal on some web cams. 546/547. I did some searching on here and some posts say they are not consistant. Is anybody running these cams without adjustable cam gears? I would rather through these in on stock cam gears. I have had adjustable cam gears and lost a head due to them...

I was thinking about dropping this turbo in the car. My ebay 50 trim is blowing oil and this one will bolt right into my current turbo setup. The turbo has a .63 ar. Any of you guys running this. Right now I run 680cc injectors so I should be able to get 20 psi out if it right? How do you...

After getting my car back togeather I got it to start. The Idle was poor but steady. I had to unplug the ISC motor because I am pretty sure it is bad. If I put the key in the ignition and move it to ON the motor makes funny nosies. I am sure it is the ISC because when I unplug it the noise...

I have some FIC injectors and in doing some work on my car I lost one of the little black plasitc rings that go on the head side of the injector(not the seal) I know the stock injectors dont have a piece like that so I put them in with out the little ring. What is that ring for? Do I need it?

While putting my motor back into my car I must have bumped the oil pump housing and cracked it. I didnt replace the oilpump so I guess I will now. Anyway I got my oilpump from topline and It did not come with the plug where the Rear balance shaft goes. I dont have the Bs shafts anymore But...

I got my used web cams today. One of the journals(where the cam turns on the head under cam cap) has a ring carved into it. I will post pics tomorrow but do you think it will hurt anything. It does not stick out, it is carved into the cam like it seized up at one time. I would not think it...

Are the pulleys for the 4g63 different between 1g's and 2g's? I mean all of them not just the crank.

Ok here is my situation. I have a 92 awd and I have been moding it since I bought it(stock) about 1 year ago. I bought it with a busted center diff and I havent fixed it yet. It still shifts ok but it is hard to put into reverse sometimes. I have money and sometimes I have seen shep or tre...

I am having problems with my alternator I think. Driving my car the other day it died. I jumped it and it died again. I was close to my house so I parked the car and took the battery home to charge it. In the morning I put the bat. in the car and it started fine. I drove it home with no...

Well this is my second ebay project. My first was a 2gnt that I boosted. It went very well. I ran a XS power t3. After a year and the fact that a 700 dollar TSI AWD fell into my lap it is time to go again. The XS power t3 boosted great and still has no shaft play. I went with the 50 trim...

I have been working real hard on fixing all my boostleaks before my 50 trim gets here. I founs a leak from my greddy BOV flange? I put a new gasket on it and it still leaks. I just put some RTV on both sides of the gasket. Do you think it will work? Has anybody else had a leak from the...

Well I am very close to piecing togeather my 50 trim setup. I have fixed all my boost leaks save one. I have had a boost leak from behind my intake mani forever. I thought it might be the break booster but that holds fine. So i am looking at the intake gasket now. I have new injector seals...

I have been working on my FMIC setup for my 1g. I got the IC used from a friend(thanks rick) for 125. I bought 4 2.5 ubends from ebay for 50 and I had the couplers from a previous project. Here is how it turned out. I like it and it got rid of all knock at 20 psi. I just bought a 12 inch...

So the other day I was chilling at my house with both my 1g and 2g parked in the driveway when there came a knock upon my door. I got up to see who it was and it was a guy I have never seen before. I knew the look on his face though he had the "my dsm is sticking it up my a$$" look. I was...

Well I bought my 1g Tsi AWD anf the back tires have always wanted to lock up when turning sharp or backing out while turning. When I shift into reverse, turn the wheel and start to back up there is a clunk sound from the tranny area. On VFAQ there is a great write up on the blown center diff...

Well the install went great. Car fired right up but just like the stockers I have to add alot of fuel at idle to get to 14.7:1. Is that just a common thing when running the maft and a safc? At idle with the stockers I had the maft set to 450's and I was at like +28% to get the right AFR at...

I was searching on here to see if anybody has hooked thier wideband up with a pocketlogger. I just need to see the 0-5v signal. I saw some people hook it up to the rear o2 signal at the ecu. Looking on vfaq there is a pin out for the 1gturbo and I dont see a rear o2. How can I hook up my...
