So I've had this issue ever since doing a battery relocation to the rear. I have some 0 gauge wiring from the battery to distribution block under the hood, and another straight to the alternator. I have a 165A alternator, but still, it only wants to charge between around 12.5-12.7 volts or so. I...

I have a Chilton manual but nowhere in there do I see a 20A fusible link in their wiring diagrams. Some diagrams say fusible link but not the amp. But most of them say 30A. I've tested my MPI relay and it clicks. Inspected my ecu and it appears to be good (shew!!!). I have a power probe that I...

So just wondering if anyone ever adjust the throttle stop to help with idle. I have a new isc, fiav blocked off on a 74mm S90 and I know it might take a minute to get it warmed up. But it takes WAAAY too long and will still stall sometimes (auto) after blipping the throttle. The biss is all the...

Replaced engine and then was only running on 2 cylinders on first start. Trying to diagnose and now for some reason, no power to the PTU at all. PTU has been tested and is good. Just no power going to it. Checked fuses under the hood. Fuel goes to the rail though so assuming MPI isn't the issue...

I deleted my ptu due to issues I was having and going with a M&W ignition and coil-on plug setup. However, I think the M&W might be having issues and so want to send it off for inspection and use stock coils instead. But can someone please verify if this is correct on wiring it back in so I...

This is the first time doing it and I'm not really sure which ports I need to be checking and pressures to look for. I've checked the FC port and in 1st gear it's bouncing around 160-170 or so. Checked RC port and in 3rd gear at idle speed it's at 80 psi. No idea what pressures I should really...

Anyone know where to get these specific o-rings? Both of mine have chunks taken out. Not sure what's causing it though. But both o-rings look the same. I have a metric o-ring kit and spare injector o-rings but nothing matches up with these. Don't care to spend $100 or whatever just for these two...

I searched and didn't see one so figured I would make the post. Not everyone has a track nearby. Some folks go to a 1/8th mile track but no 1/4 track nearby (such as myself). And if you want to post a timeslip to a group or whatever and they don't take it because it's not a 1/4 mile slip, well...

So I just received the new Smart 150 box to replace my outdated box, but I see nothing on the programming side of what things should be set to and some of the information here is beyond me at the moment. I have a Precision #6 converter, no TCU, B&M shifter for manual shifting, the Smart 150 box...

So before I start, I'm posting this in the Dsmtuners and the Ecmlink forums alike to get as much information from people, and to people so that there's plenty of information being shared. So feel free to check out both places for the information.That being said, I've been in the dsm scene for...

My car is currently setup as a dry kit but can easily swap it over to a wet kit if need be. But either route, I'm not sure what the desired afr really needs to be while stalling with my secondary maps, and what is considered too lean? I'm trying to target 8.0 and hitting 11-11.6 on a 35 shot and...

No spark on 1 and 4. Testing the cas and it varies between .11-4.99 volts when cranking. But while cranking, there's no rpm's until it actually starts and THEN the tach works as it should, while running on 2 cylinders. Would this still indicate a bad cas? They're not cheap so trying to make sure...

No rpm's on the gauge. Had a spare cluster so I swapped out that portion of it. Swapped ptu's and still nothing. Rpm's read in ecmlink.Not sure what else to check for other than at the ecu. Would I just back probe pin 58 and test for 5 volts, a varying voltage, or what am I looking for...

Okay, so I suck at electrical but I know that if I'm checking fuses, I should see a draw at one of them. I've only had this issue since doing a battery relocation. Thought I was just having bad battery issues at first. But if the switch is off I'm getting more of a drain than with it on??? The...

Was talking to someone on Facebook about it but can't remember who it was. I know you can stage in 2nd gear and as soon as you let off the brakes it'll switch to 1st. You have to wire in a relay to do it. But not sure how to wire it in.I know to be in first, power is supplied to solenoids A...

Someone on Facebook was needing help with the settings. Seems the fullthrottle.com website is down and had a difficult time finding it. Figured I'd better post here to have something to fall back on incase someone needs them. Took me a good bit to find.

Never thought I'd need help in this area but these cams were sitting in my garage and was trying to see if I had cam seals that were new to replace my old ones. Pulled the seals off these (going over each lobe due to the cam gear that was installed) and after matching them up I went to put the...

I have a relay for my vacuum pump for my auto and relay for clutch cut both wired to the brake switch. But if I try and use them both at the same time, it pops a fuse. Can anyone tell me if this wiring would be correct? Both are connected to the brake switch. I'm terrible at wiring, just going...

So I did the 5 speed to auto swap and learned a LOT along the way. One thing I learned is that if you're using the Kiggly adapter plate to install a transmission in a 2g with a 6 bolt, it put's about 3/4" between the engine and transmission. And it's a HUGE pain trying to get the engine mounts...

Just wondering if anyone runs both? Was talking to one of the guys on my Facebook about the Forced Four and the benefits of using it and since I had one laying around that was shipped to me with my transmission, I figured I'd go ahead and throw it in the car. So today I just finished my panel...

So I'm searching but I don't have years for this. Short story, injector was leaking and had a nice little fire that I got out in a hurry. Repaired wires and car would fire up fine of the two times I tried. Third time on another day was a no-go. No spark on 2 and 3. Thought it was ptu so replaced...

Just wondering if any of you guys that use it have any issues with your fuel looking like this if it sits for a bit. I'm wondering what y'all do for the sealing rings on top of the tank and if they would possibly be an issue, or if it's the seals I'm using for my fuel sumps on bottom of the...

So trying to wire this thing up and found this thread... https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/kiggly-mod-walk-through-no-tcu.499441/Problem is that the connector I have is different than what's on the post. Got this connector in the mail today and the wiring colors are different and looks like...

I'm absolutely terrible at reading things and comprehending what I'm reading sometimes so maybe it's just me. But I'm not sure what I'm doing with line adjustments for the valve body. I've completely rebuilt it and trying to button it up, but no idea what to do with the adjustments and...

Not everyone knows about my channel but I have them all garbled up with other videos versus having them in a certain folder. I don't want to create another Youtube folder to put them in because I'm unsure if it will break any links where I've posted them elsewhere. But figured this would be a...

Just wondering but I see that the oil pump has to be aligned when putting back together. Um, what exactly is being aligned when the bolt holes only allow it to be put back together in one direction as it is? Thanks!

Because videos are better.

Made a few videos that I posted up on Facebook but I know that information can get lost very quickly. I'm doing an auto swap and wanted to tear it down to make sure everything is clean and has good parts along with doing a few upgrades. First time ever working on an automatic and the information...

I'm looking to convert my car to auto after breaking my 5 speed (again) and I'm trying to do this the easiest way because it's either buy a complete car that has everything in it and get it home to me just for the drivetrain parts, or buy the pieces individually. I'm just wondering if there's...

Pulled this out today to find this.

Just received a triple disc clutch from a guy today. A bit dirty but new and can just hit with some brake clean. But my question is about the disc because I'm not sure the disc names are 100% correct in my head. If I put the "Bottom" disc on the flywheel, it hits the flywheel bolts at the center...

So I'm doing a new turbo that's top mounted and instead of using my side exit that I had previously, I'm wanting to opt for a hood exit with a 4 or 5 inch pipe. However, I don't want this looking hacked up like some that I've seen. I want it clean looking. However, initially it'll be with my...

I'm from Panama City, Fl and we were hit by Hurricane Michael. The track has been down for years and they had just recently opened when the storm hit and messed it all up. Yesterday was the 1st day opening after the storm for Test and Tune. You're dang right I couldn't sleep the night before. I...

I know everyone has their brand preference when it comes to turbos but I plan to go with a Borg Warner S476 SXE here soon to try and put down some good power. Only problem I'm having is trying to determine the best turbine housing (divided T4) to use.I see a .90, 1.00, 1.10, and 1.25 are my...

I posted this on Facebook but didn't get much in the way of pictures and such, and figured I need to post more here to keep the page going. I have Kirkey seats in my car and a 5 point harness along with a harness bar (until I can get a cage in it). I'm not worried about how to mount the harness...

Car was running fine except for breaking up over 30 psi so decided to get an Arc-2 ignition box and COP setup. I'm not sure if I wired these things up correctly or not and not sure what each wire is for. When I purchased it (from a Facebook buddy), I wasn't aware it needed to be wired up. Just...

Hitting the track tomorrow and Saturday and it'll be the first time launching on slicks in the awd with lots of new parts. I wanna get out of the hole and down the track as quickly as possible (obviously), but without breaking parts however I don't wanna be bogging either. Now I do have the...

My fuel gauge isn't working and I've changed out both my fuel pressure sending unit and gauge clusters with spares I have. Neither fixed the issue. Tested the sending unit and both of the ones I own have the proper resistance when moving the float. I think I'm just not getting power to the...

I have a 95 transmission in my car but have a 98 transmission sitting in my garage that a friend of mine gave me. It has double syncros, welded diff, etc. in it but I know you can't use a 98 transmission with a 95 transfer case because of the gear ratio differences. So I'm just wondering which...

So I wanted to move my car outside today so I could clean the garage but the windows wouldn't go up. Checked for power at the 30A fusible link under the hood and I have power there. So I checked the relay under the dash and 2 spots there have power. No fuse at the Blue/Black wire at the window...

So to start with, I'm putting this thread here because people are gonna be asking questions or make comments I'm sure. Just don't know if people can do that in tech articles and I wanna be as open as I can about this.So anyway, my Walbro 450 just wasn't getting the job done for me. Sure, you...

Okay so I have a post about doing a battery relocation but this is a separate issue, sort of. And trying to keep the other one more for a "how-to". I know there's the 4 wires coming from the fuse box that go to the battery. 2 of which go to the alternator. But in a properly wired alternator...

I recently ordered the new JMF, billet intake manifold and S90 74mm throttle body. And all I can say is that this thing is huge. So large in fact that I'm having to do a battery relocation, which honestly I did not want or had any intentions of doing. I LIKE it in the stock location and small...

I'm just wondering what size coupler you guys are using. I have 2.5" piping going to a 74mm throttle body. I ordered a 2.5"-3.0" coupler and I couldn't get it on. So ordered a 2.5"-3.25" coupler and it just feels loose. I mean I use t-bolt clamps but just wondering what you guys are using in the...

I know it's been discussed over on the Evo forums but the thread that it was posted in has pictures that are expired, or just not there. I need to try and do this to my pump but not sure how far to punch that sucker in. Anyone know how far exactly to go in or have any "good" updated pics that...

So after Dale Morss (BogusSvo) totally screwed up my build and thousands down the drain (yes, I'm still mad about it), I totally rebuilt my engine myself from the ground up. Except I let a local shop do my head, and they do an awesome job. Been a VERY long road. Still a few things to button up...

I don't see it being mentioned anywhere and every freaking time I order this gasket from a local parts house, the wrong one comes in. So many times that I just said screw it and made my own paper gasket but I don't like that idea. My car is almost back together and this is the very last part (I...

So just wondering if anyone has installed a vce with a 4 spider diff. I know it can cause the diff some stress and break if it's a stock diff. Just thinking about going to the dyno here sometime soon and get some pulls in but need it to be in fwd mode. So not sure if the same issue would still...

I'm having to change the element in it for the first time but can't for the life of me figure out how to get the sucker out. I've tried using a pick, screw driver, etc. I just can't get it out. So what are you guys using? I emailed FP about it but no reply back yet. I'm sure they're busy with...

So I tore my engine down after some issues I had with it and when I received my new main bearing set, I only had 2 thrust bearings in the box, for my 98 block. Whereas the machinist who assembled my engine had 3 bearings installed. I don't see any info ANYWHERE that 3 are used. Am I missing...
