Do it right and just be done. Pull the trans back out, drill the holes, tap the holes, insert helicoils, reinstall trans. You can pick up helicoil kits from your local autoparts store. Id recommend NAPA. To find the sizing, shoot shep an email or call and he will get right back with you usually...
Actually no factory US transmissions came with a limited slip front diff. My buddy picked up a ### evo3 motor off of an ebay seller that had a limited slip, but thats the only way your gonna find an lsd in a factory trans. Besides that the ring gear and the bearing are different on an awd diff...
Dsm-onster: Thanks for all the suggestions and the super fast reply! Unfortunately I dont have a top mount manifold. Its a bottom mount(?) undivided t3 shearer manifold. Im gonna have to stay away from any adapter flanges due to the super low turbo position. I already had to grind the mount for...
Jeeze, I post yesterday and there is already 20+ posts since! Its like you guys have a cult of holset gurus :cool:. Reading of some awsome setups Blksheep86, Maglin, 1fast2g, and its looking like these are gonna be posting some fast times to the list this year!The more I read the more I...
Ive been trying to follow these holset threads, but it takes some time to get through these 30 pagers! Deffinately seems like the holset scene is growing quite a bit from that first thread though. How's come you guys have chosen the holset platform vs. the Borg warner?
I just seen these rods on slowboys site the other day. Looked like a great price for a super beefy rod. Thats too bad about the fitment though. What was the reasoning behind the poor fitment?
sorry guess i didnt really watch enough tv then lol i was probably working on my carROFL:cry: but i love this phone its amazing in every way possible!!!
im on my buddies name but my name on here is freeze anyhow i have had the instinct before all the commercials and everything else came out for it i got it the day it came out i just happend to want a new phone went to sprint and they said it just came out so i said ill take it i didnt even play...
I was also extremely disappointed after watching the show. The evo was deff. sick! It was more of a track car than the others, but was also done clean. The whole interior was done with spearco stitching. To tell u the truth, Id say it was more streetable than the mini! How the hell r u gonna...
Just was wondering how the setup worked out, or if anyone else has had experience with these Megan's on a 1g?I was also wondering about the rates. They seem extremely high: 12k/10k for the Megan's compared to D2's 9k/7k rates?Ive been reading reviews on Nissan and Evo forums about these...
I dont understand the expensive part? Extremepsi.com for koni struts. ebay or madacar for the Gc coils.150 for the rear struts
175 for the fronts
375 for the coils
$700
All that comes to the same price (actually less) as the ksports/d2/megan
Thanks fr the fast reply mavisky! Thats which way I was leaning too. With the warranties that koni and Gc offer (eibach springs) I dont think I or anyone can go wrong. Wish we could still get the chamber plates but theirs other options. What would u recommend for chamber kits?
Mavisky:
Dont you have GC coilovers? Would you recommend GC over a koni/megan/d2? Everyone reads how good these ksport`s ride but you dont hear anything about them a year later. Im looking for a coilover setup thats gonna last and considering the price for a set of GC with agx`s or koni`s...
Dream On: Yep Im the 1g guy which one are you? Will you guys be back for the reschedule because I know all of us will! Sorry for the burnouts JROD. I was back behind the Best Western to see a big crowd cheering on the TA to do a burnout. I no he didnt want to come back after the cops rolled in...
"No it was not fun. Any of you that said you had a good time trailer your car there for 5.5 hours or more one way? Even if it gets reschuled there will be about half the people there to RACE not bullshit come back. Yea im pissed. Will be doing all local events from now on."Im sorry you felt...
Methanol - twin Weldon pumps
John used to run a weldon but only one. You could hear that thing 3 car lenghts back :D
Have u looked into a mechanical waterman? 1/8 of the weight of 1 pump alone, plus all your fuel lines. But like you said your just looking to have fun not set records. Sweet...
Ok, first off I might as well give you the bad news. I dont know what I was thinking before, but you have a FWD. All of these gears are only offered for the AWD dsms and galant`s or evo`s. So even if you wanted a taller first gear in your gst you wouldnt be able to. About the evo gears though...
"The "green area" material is only half as thick as the height of the teeth. This was because the gear was cut to accept a bearing. The cut extends 3mm into the side of the gear, and the total width of the gear is only 14mm. If you were to pull a gear from a tranny with 100K on the clock, you...
gsx951 1. John actually does run a dsm transmission in his car, it just has straight cut gears. Which is what im guessing you were referring to. Either way he still broke 8`s with an upgraded OEM gearbox with OEM gears.
2. Yea if you watch his vids you can see when he missed a shift the tach...
Man that thing looks good! What kind of times is he getting out of that 3065? Is that a JM Fab smim? Yea it is really weird, I`ve been looking for pics of his car forever and havent found anything. You posted that pic just the other day and yesterday I was checking out my buddies myspace video...
Wow that was fast and the car looks sweet lol. That might of been the car at the shootout. Are you the owner? any info on the car? The hood was popped so i didnt get to see the graphic.Thanks a ton!
Alright im not sure if this is the right place to be posting this but i need some help from some fellow tuners. Ive looked through numerous pages of 06' shootout pics and cannot find a picture of this 1g I seen at the shootout last year. First off the reason im looking: Im looking into buying...
Lucky, lucky man. Evo 3 motors are very rare and can be very valueable. My buddy got an evo 3 motor a couple years back and he got the deal of a lifetime. The motor came with the usual 510cc injectors, cyclone intake manifold, and evo 3 turbo( I think its actually a big 16g not really like the...
Well...
First off I would have to say that your almost guaranteed to get hit for your spelling and grammar, from a moderator. Your first sentence is practically the whole paragraph. Your wording looks like your typing on AIM. I think that you need to delete your entire post and start over...
Sorry about the mix up, i didnt realize you had a FWD. Guess ill be running the welded diff by myself.jrpmp69: What you said of the AWD trans. in the FWD is true. The reason for this is for the 3/4. If you have a heavily modified FWD and plan on revving to the moon an option for the AWD`s is...
Well first off yes, you can call or email him. The parts that get replaced are thrown away. Synchros are not worth saving due to the price along with seals and bearings. In a stage 2 you will get a new 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear. Second is almost always junk and not worth saving, that includes the...
No shep does not do Nt transmissions. He has done a couple in the past but will not anymore. the entire gearset is different and weaker than a turbo transmission. Thats a 4g though not the 420. I don't know if Tre even does the 420 transmissions either.Selmerguy: may i ask why you have...
Lsd inserts do not strengthen the differential though. A welded differential is physically unbreakable but is not practical at all and isnt recommended. It really depends on what the car is being used for. If it is a daily driver and very rarely sees the track(or wheel hop i should be saying)...
im also very interested if some people could post up some pics or talk about their experiences with either spring. it doesnt seem like too many people run the s-tech on 1g`sMike1992: I though the teins were supposed to have a lower drop like 1.6 compared to eibach`s 1 inch.
CHICKSDIGBOOST- how did u know that the rvr was AWD?
The more i look at the trans off the 4d68 the more i realize it looks like an evo trans. very much like an evo. the only part i cant tell is the part where it would connect with the t-case, if the rvr truely is awd. Could u take a pic of...
I was gonna guess that b52 turbo from the speed factor but for some reason i cant seem to get on their site to check it out.I dont even know if they sell this turbo anymore.
Yea I have the 5 bolt turbine housing. Im a lil dissapointed to hear that its just cut to fit the 30 wheel because i was leaning more toward the t3 route. The more I think about it now the more i think the FP housing would work best. It may cost a lil more but in the long run im sure it will pay...
Daren, thanks for the fast reply. Im not sure which housing i have i just know that its the precision t3 housing(not sure of the A/R either). i just got done reading your other thread and it seems like u were in my shoes a little while back. I seen that u asked precision if thier housing was...
Well after several weeks of keeping up with Daren P`s thread ive finally decided to chime in and try to get some feed back from other people as to where i should go with my setup. I didnt know whether to start a new thread or not so i just decided to jump into this one since i am kind of in...
Ok Ill start from the begining sorry its so long. Im getting ready to go to the track after filling the car with race gas(3rd time in the past 2 months), turning up the boost and topping off the dipstick. Forgetting to turn up the vpc from 9`Oclock to 12`Oclock I take off in 3rd to check the...
Well :tease: i feel like a complete idiot. I switched ecu`s with a spare that I had and what do ya no no more jumping tps. Then i remembered last week when i took out my ecu to check if it was an eprom or not. I forgot to unhook the battery. i never drove it that day and i think the next day was...
Ok first off thanks for all of the fast replys. Next "Doggo" I am currently logging everything on mmcd on my laptop. I have switched tps sensors with a spare i had laying around and one i just borrowed off of my buddy. All 3 tps sensors have tested good but while watching mmcd with the car off...
DSMs are automotive heroine.
^
I deffinately know what your talking aboutLOL but about the car
I checked boost leaks and im down to one which is the TB shaft seals but it is a very small leak that i will still be fixing
The Biss screw ive turned till it bottomed out and it still idles...
Well i decided to get back into dsm`s hoping to have better luck the last time but within a week of buying my new talon im having problems already. Bad throwout bearing, boost leaks everywhere,.....and now the dreadful idle surge/ not idling at all. Ive searched the forms many times looking at...
Syndicate13 is right about the shim going inside the center diff and i dont think u need it for the welded diff. I dont know what the other part is but i no it doesnt belong in your transmission. Its good to see people attempting to pull their own trannys apart. Most people are too scared...
Actually "Turbocharged" the double synchro 3/4 is included in the stage 4 rebuild. Im not quite sure where u heard that is wasnt, but i believe that it has always been included in the stage 4 rebuld from shep.
"Turbocharged" might I ask why you decided to go with the stage 1 tranny rebuild with 400 horsepower? The first thing in your transmission to go with that kind of horsepower is going to be your center diff after continous hard launches. Yes it might hold up fine for you right now but I wouldnt...
Im pretty sure he dont use the nylon padded forks from TRE. Ive actually heard bad things about those forks. The pads are two pieces held together with tiny screws and after enough wear on the pads it wears the screws and eventually breaks them apart. I think shep has his own steel shift forks...
Well I think the stage three tranny from shep would be perfect for you based on your setup.First off would be your horsepower. 450 horsepower would be around 11`s in the 1/4 mile which is kind of what the stage three is recommended for. Second your going to want the 4 spider center diff for the...
this wasnt like a drage it was just a pull goin back to my friends house like i said i can just be cruising at 0 boost or some times vac and it will knock up to 43. I dont think it would be heatsoak because it kinda does it when i begin to drive it(start up and go).It just feels like it wants to...
