and dont worry about DSMlink. You can pass with it, you just have to unselect a box so the smog techs obd2 scanner can connect.A nice thing to check yourself via link is if your drive cycles are all on and functioning. We're supposed to be exempt from them (the Talons already are) but I'm not...

Good luck man, hopefully it is that easy.

Considering some guys are paying 3-4k for some shitty salvaged title cars that is a fair asking price. Just make sure you make some sort of smog waiver and have them sign it so they dont come back at you for repairs they may have to make to help it pass smog.

Do they poke? As in protrude from the fenders at all? Any pics with an angle like that?

there is a thread on this buried in the link forums, try and search there. Essentially there is a setting in DSMlink that will let the ecu communicate via obd2 with other scanners, I've passed obd2 readiness for a while with v2 and v3 in CA.And you're lucky I had caffeine ; )...

Any pics of them mounted on car and how wide are they?

I would honestly say after maintenance make a legit plan, pick a HP # and turbo that can help you get there, and figure out the supporting mods to get there so you only buy things once. MBC is useless if you want to run dsmlink later, IC pipes and cheap intake may not be worth it if an...

ROFL That seriously made me LOL

Totally agree. Body work can get expensive really quickly. 750 is very fair. 900 TOPS if the interior is good and you really like it. If he wont let you take a wrench and check things out, walk away. A lot of guys out here will hide major problems with cars by saying a thing like the tbelt is...

is that the shell (I think) that has the car wash, next to McDonalds?

The big woosh comes from venting your BOV, which is essentially removing that pipe that runs from the BOV to your intake pipe. Be prepared to get flamed by some dudes here over it. There is a proper way to do it (blow through or speed density), and the way most guys do it (ditch the return pipe...

Would that size tire keep an AWD 5spd in 4th in the quarter?

Hate to burst your bubble but look up the specific code you were written up for, if its modified exhaust it speaks specifically to silencers and things being inserted into the exhaust to change the sound. Sometimes a state ref or a truck weigh station may have sound equipment to test for sound...

+2, have run 4 heads through there and the work is very clean, and pricing/turnaround are reasonable.

GLWS B, feel safe buying from this guy folks, he is a legit good guy.

What gets me is how people complain about digging up old threads and a couple posts later flame someone for not using the search button and asking the question in a thread that is already discussing said topic. Just got a mustang and am running into that a lot on those forums. I actually pointed...

I passed with a car sound 3 inch cat with full 3 inch turbo back exhaust. I had week old spark plugs and week old oil change and I'm sure that helped.

Well I'd say you gotta look at his car a bit closer. How serious is he. Does he have the suspension to hook all that torque? Is he on drag radials or big rims with no sidewall. Where would the race take place? No chance for you on a highway, and not much from a roll. Your only advantage would be...

Mine does the same thing and I was too lazy to do the faq fix. I found that changing habits more than anything helped me. When the factory alarm goes off, lock and unlock the drivers side door with your key. That will silence the factory alarm. I found that if I locked the car using the factory...

The tubes have to recirculate like stock. For a while I had mine "look" like they were ran stock.

I also vote for DSM. More than anything, project car over project bike. You have a wife, and soon a kid. In todays economy, you need to make sure you keep yourself healthy and able to work. Losing a job due to injury sucks, and while not exactly legal, who has the money to fight it once it's...

LOL...so...what shop was this? I remember trying to get smogged at a local chevron and I got laughed at when I popped my hood for less than that : P

Wow. Nice work. Please do post when u get a website going and become a vendor here, if you made a ss kit with the earls fittings for pcv, overflow, and anything else I could run in stainless I would buy it in a heartbeat. I'm too lazy to cut and measure and would pay to have things pre cut and...

Can we please have this stickied?

x3 man. I've just about got my 3052 up and running after a few year build and wish the holset info was out there before I was so committed to the 3052. And seriously...think about injectors/tuning before you try and upgrade beyond a 16g. The time dsmlink would set you back on a turbo would be...

I'd like to see a decent exhaust manny stud extractor set with drill bits harder then the hardened steel we drill into when we break exhaust manny studs, complete with a solid punch to dimple the broken stud, or even a good bit for the dremel to flatten out the surface. I've been through a bunch...

Read up, and try and make it out.http://www.norcal1320.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=18472#18472:dsm:

how about those pics? Any during pics of where and what you needed to cut? My install was far from bolt on and I am needing to have some brackets welded on to the bottom of the core as I dont like the recommended install method in the instructions.

+ freaking 1 Mav, between CoD 4 rounds we were flipping to the game and it seemed every like the charger guys were dropping hard. They are in no way going to be near 100% for the Pats, and to beat them, 120% is really needed.I really would have liked to see a healthy GB go up against a...

If I'm not mistaken arent you supposed to change the oil in the Kaaz units every 6-10k miles or run the risk of wearing out the clutch plates prematurely? At 40-50 bucks for the kaaz oil thats another thing to take into account when deciding between the two. I think the Kaaz is the better unit...

Most definitely man. Should throw in a built trans too because on a 2600 and with those HP levels you're going to need one sooner than later.

What about the maftpro unit? Really good solution for a 1g, controls timing (w/dsmchips eprom which will also kind of cover knock via the stock boost gauge), boost control, wideband tracking, data logs, and a whole bunch more I dont remember. Will work really well with his existing sensors as...

sweet, a classifieds for locals! Is that new? Looks like mine is the first one. If its new you should announce it, I'm guessing it will fill up quick.

DSM Classifieds - Message - Powered by PhotoPost ClassifiedsGood discount if any of u guys want to pick up and help me avoid having to ship this thing.

I'd like to clear up what could be a bit of misinformation. Timing control is only available via the keydriver chip on a 1G, NOT 2G. I spoke with Jeff at keydriver and he said the only way for him to do it on a 2g is if I switched over to the 1G CAS and then I'd have to remap my base timing...

FFWD Connection - Race Injuns That Will Freeze Your BrainAs many have stated, you seemling have a bit of cash to burn. The above link is a great vendor that can sell you the ecu socketed (with a fresh rebuild) with the dsmlink installed, all you would have to do is install the ecu...no...

Those RFLs like to leak, we've had 4 in my family and 3 of them leaked really bad to the point where when they were swapped for better units (3 tials and an hks) we all gained between 4 and 6 psi and it felt like a motor or big turbo swap with nothing else being changed. Boost leaks seriously...

Bah...enough bench racing. Stock for stock...the best driver wins the race regardless of drivetrain.

Hey man, welcome to tuners! Just thought I'd chime in on the 1g/2g thing here as nobody has mentioned anything about smog. With a 16G being sufficient for your needs, you will be able to keep the under hood appearance of things damn near stock. Coming off a liter bike though, and not having that...

Taken from DSMlink homepage:V2 is all you can buy now. They simply split the new feature up from the old ones so people could see if they wanted to pay the upgrade cost. Just call dsmlink and do it all through them. Socketing service and everything. Why deal with middle men when you can go...

I think in the bay area's case showing up is 95% of the battle.

you could elaborate on the thoughts you took into consideration while burning the eprom.

750+ AWHP?That is a serious goal, and an even more serious investment. I dont want to come off as condescending at all, forgive me if I do. From your posts it seems like you could still be a bit new to the car modding/DSM scene, and there is nothing wrong with that, you have come to the right...

For all you san jose guys, what about Big Dogs Grill on Cherry? It is out of the way of most law enforcement and the owners are cool with cars meeting up there. I used to meet out there with a different club and before they close they are cool enough to tell us to come use the bathroom and...

hey man, you came out to those PSN meets a few times right? Clear out your stinkin inbox and hit me up if you still need a bit of "assistance."

Make sure you have a place to smog the car before you consider buying it. I dont think that car will pass by any legal means with all that fuel and those 280* cams. I have known sean for years and he is one of 2 people I will let work on my car and not mind paying. If he says the car is cherry...

What is your exhaust setup like? Is it enough to handle GT30 flow?If so, perhaps a stronger spring is in need... give tial or road race a call.

spoken like a true DSMer!!!

The only reason the stock boost gauge isnt accurate is because well...its on a DSM!! However...the conversion isnt done by mits...its done by keydriver who knows how to manipulate these ecus!
