I recently read that the only pulleys that should be used are ones with dampeners. Without the dampener, the crank bearings are said to wear out faster bc there is no way to cushion the force created by the rotation of the crankshaft. The only aftermarket crank pulley made is the buschur...
The intake valves in cylinder 2 and the exhaust valves in cylinder 3 are not flush. There are tiny gaps between them and the head. Is this a sign of bent valves or is there something wrong somewhere else?
Just wondering if there are any other DSMers that are also into sprint car racing. I live in CT but go out to PA every summer to go to races and I love it.
After I drive my car for a few minutes and park it, the thermostat housing is smoking along with the rest of the engine(the other smoke may be related to the newly painted downpipe). When I remove the cap on the housing there is no coolant in there and the coolant is boiling past the...
Well I got my car started after doing an engine swap and it was idling fine for about 5 minutes-oil pressure good, A/F starting to warm up and then the engine starts to stumble and the A/F starts to back down way lean. I have an auto tranny 1g with 14b, 450s, MT cams, and EPROM ecu. Could it...
I've found a few places so far with torque converters for our cars. There's Import Performance Transmissions, ProTorque, and Precision Industries so far.
It's fun to watch a car fall behind in your rearview mirror and it gives you an immense amount of pride to peg your speedometer, but doing it on the street is the most irresponsible thing somebody can do. Endangering other peoples lives is simply disrespectful and selfish. We've lost another...
Ok so far ive unlocked the Vortex car, petey pablo, and mystikal cars. Im thinkin the last two are like 1970s cutlass supremes with gold wire wheels or something. Anyway, I cant find where these cars are! can anyone help me? Thanks.
I recently put my transmission back on after doing an engine swap, but never filled up the torque converter with tranny fluid. Am I basically Fu<ked now?
My friend just installed a 16g on his 2g. It boosted to 14psi and everything was fine...and then he melted the front coolant line. Took it back home and replaced the rubber portion and tightened the LICP that came off, and now it won't boost past 7psi. He also lost a bunch of coolant, but it...
I bought an rnr turbo back, but there are no flanges. I have a hi-flo cat and the mix too. Can i slide these pieces together and just use some sort of band to hold everything together or is it supposed to have flanges welded on and be bolted together?
Hey guys,I did the dumbass thing of losing my driveshaft bolts/nuts and need to get new ones. I went to the mistu dealer but the guy there could barely use CAPS. Im wondering what the part# is for the 4 nuts that hold the driveshaft underneath the car and the nuts and bolts that bolts up to...
I did the tbelt on my car when I did a swap and put the engine back in and everything. Now the only problem I have is trying to get the cover back on! I really dont feel like unbolting the entire side mount to get the thing on there so can i just cut it in half through the opening for the mount?
Does anybody have the cd that includes the DSM manual and CAPS? I would greatly appreciate because I really need to find out which bolts go where! Thanks.
You guys who haven't checked out www.wreckedexotics.com really need to see some of the stuff people are crashing.
It's an homage to those whose pockets run deeper than their driving skills.
I am putting another 4g63t into my 91 tsi awd bc i bent 7 exhaust valves on mine when the damn timing belt slipped...i dont want to talk about it...anyway, i am putting in a jdm that has about 38k miles on it and am wondering what i need to replace when i put the other motor in. i already...
Ok here we go...1) When my engine gets hot, it wont keep running when i try to start it back up. it will sputter and shake and quit on me. But, if i let it cool down and the temp gauge(stock) goes to the lower line, it will start. Anything above that and it refuses to keep running for more...
Im an extremely new DSMer from CT. Have a 91 Talon TSi AWD and i want to put a 16g on. i know that the auto trannys have smaller cams, 390 injectors, and only a 13g turbo. i know i need a new housing and exhaust manifold, but will i need bigger injectors? say 450s like the MT? Also, big or...
