I have a quick question that i can't figure out. I recently noticied a leak coming from my oil filter area. So i jacked up my car and found oil coming from being the stock oil cooler that the oil filter sits on(Not were the oil filter comes in contact with the oil cooler the other side of the...

I emailed Dejon tool and they said "It is a Chinese copy of the Greddy Type S. We have tested it for leakage and operation and it is very similar to the Greddy 'S' It holds boost better than the DSM 1g and almost as well as the new Greddy RS. " I have never had any problems with Dejon tool and...

IgoVroom don't feel bad my car is doing the same thing and it is pissing me off. I don't know what to do I replaced the TB with a used one a while ago and it was good for about 3 months now its doing the same thing. Have you figured out a solution because I can't seem to come up with one.

Why wouldn't regular 3/8" hose fit? Regular hose is like $4 as oposed to $21 for a 6' of the Pushlock kind.

Okay, I want to install my Aeromotive FPR, but my setup is for my old 1G and I now have a 2G. I have the adapter for the fuel rail that plugs into the end to a -6 AN size. I don’t really want to go to the expense of getting a 1’ stainless steel line and adapters to get to my FRP on the fire...

I have one of the ebay intakes, workes fine. The only thing is the adapter for a cone filter didn't match up with the MAS so there were small gaps around it letting in unfiltered air. I just took some RTV sealant and sealed up the gaps, kinda making my own gasket and works mint.

Hey guys,I installed a set of Tokico adjustable's on my car not to long ago. I have them set for 4 all the way around. The other day when I was working on my car a friend of mine was playing around and took the cap off and turned the dial :mad: l. I have no idea what setting it...

Thanks I will let u guys know how it turns out. I do have a pocketlogger to keep track of things too

Sorry to drag this thread back, My T25 is shot and i need to get a new turbo. Its pointless to buy another T-25, So i want to know on the TO4B will i be okay to run 8psi for a lil while till i upgrade my fuel, also i'm still running everything else mostley stock. Will the high pressure actuator...

Okay just wondering how my car looks. Basically what i have is metal intake, K&N filter, David Brode UICP, 1st gen BOV, JP MBC set at 14psi, Boost gauge, Acell wires, NGK BP6ES plugs. Now i just want to get a basic feel for what my car should look like stock here is what it looks like now. I'm...

I haven't been able to do this to my car yet. Because my axel fell off while i was driving the other day and its in the shop. I will try only turning the small spring 2 times more around and see what happens.

I'm going to give re winding the spring, one question tho is how do you keep the tension on it if the metal plate ( The thing that holds the throttle cable to the TB) is off? know how the spring hooks onto that metal plate, just kinda wondering how you would be able to keep the tension on both...

I don't know if this will help you out but On alot of turbo trucks they use Holset Turbo's this company actually supplies adapters so that we can fit those moster turbos on our cars http://www.bullseye-power.com/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=56

No there is no differece between the hoods all 95+ hoods are the same. The only difference for the 95+96 is the headlights and the bumbers they are slightly smaller than the 97+

To remove the spring do i need to remove the TB again? Or can i just loosen the bolt holding on the spring and pull it off while it is still on the car? Also i know that there is 2 springs can i just tighten the outer spring or do i have to remove both?

I have checked the Tension on the cables that didn't do anything. I took out my entire TB when i did my FIAV blockoff and cleaned it so there is no carbon buildup. To tighten the springs do i need to take off the the entire TB or does the springs come off together when you loosen that nut that...

Okay i though that my high idle was due to my FIAV, blocked it off nothing different. Tried my BISS nothing. So finally a friend of mine pushed on the Throttle body to the closed position and it idled perfect. So it looks like the throttle return spring doesn't have enough tension to hold shut...

I agree with STEVENGAD, after i finished this mod i looked at it and was like wtf why didn't i just loop the coolant lines to eachother and plug up the open ends with jb weld. IMO it serves to do the same exact thing maybe better because now you won't have any coolant going to your tb. If i get...

Well i started this project tonight, and i though i would finish it. I had a very hard time getting the TB off because the throttle cable box was in the way. Then when i got everything off the FIAV is held on by cheap philips head screws which stripped out so i had to cut them off and then use...

I believe that 2 and 3 are the holes that should be blocked off. If a Wisman on here could give us a final answer that would be great.

I would just use Jb weld or make your own blockoff plate. I'm going to try building my own blockoff plate out of sheet metal and put it on my car :thumb:

well i am assuming that #'s 3 & 2 should be blocked off and 1 & 4 should be left open for the ISC? is this correct. Please help me if you know my idle is at 3,500rpms after the car warms up and i can't drive the car like that .

Still wondering what numbers on that picture that i should block off with the jb weld 1,2,3,4? I will be filling the holes with jb weld and putting it in an oven at 350 for 15min till it hardens does anyone think that would work to block the FIAV off?

hey, i have searched everywhere on how to block off a FIAV. i have checked vfaq, http://www.vallotton.com/fiavblockoff.asp , but on there it doesn't show what part to block off i was wondering if i use jbweld what holes to fill up with jb and what to leave open for the ISC motor since they both...

my boost was nutz but luckly i have a MBC now so its good. But i think i killed my turbo running it at 20-22psi for a week or so.

I think the waste gate is working fine. I did the mod where you take out the restrictor out of the wastegate solenoid. What i was wondering is have i done damage to the motor cause of the high boost that i hit with the T-25??

Guys, can u tell me if I’ve hurt anything. I recently did a whole tune up (plugs, cleaned out all the intercooler pipes and intercooler) and added a few mods to my car (David Brode UICP, Hard intake, Crushed 1G BOV, Accel 300+ wires, Boost gauge, A/F gauge, all free mods). Now I went out for a...

yea when shut off the car it reads 5psi

alright i just installed my boost gauge. When i got my gauge from Slowboyracing the gauge sat a 5psi. I though this was kinda weird but i didn't think anything of it because i thought that once i tap it into a vac line it would correct this problem. Guess it didn't. I installed the boost gauge...

I've had ACT 2600 on both my 1G and my 2G both AWD. I can say i honestly never had a problem. Love the feel of a 2600, its really not that bad in traffic . To each his own tho. I've always wondered how the ceramic clutches are but never got one cause i have my 2600, and on both cars i've beatn...

Thank you very much, I'll post some pics of my car when i am done. I think it may just take a while to get things matching up right

Please start your own thread instead of jacking this one. Thanks :thumbdown

Those pipes came out awsome exactly the kind of quality i want to make. I could somewhat see how it went together, but just wondering if you have anymore pictures of them installed i can't make out exactly where all the peices go. Do you think that it would have been easier to make the pipes go...

Thanks for the response guys, I'm going to try out building the pipes on my friends GTi first lol :p i'll learn from the mistakes i make with his money lol. As for Couplers i have to search around for some radiator hose to use. Thanks alot. Anyone eles have any comments please feel free to...

Okay so i get that press bent pipes will: a) kill the smooth flow of air b) will decrease the inner diameter of the pipe. So now that i have learned that this is not a good way to do IC pipes what pipe bends would you recomend buying for this intercooler. I have searched and found that no one...

So does anyone have like a parts list of what types of mandrel bent pipes i should pick up and how to peice it together if everyone says that press bent wouldn't be the best option?? I'm just really worried about buying a ton of mandrel bent bends and not using them therefore wasting my money...

Yea i think its going to be press bent so there would be some ridges in it, should i be concered with that? I didn't think that it would be a huge hp loss with some turbulance in the pipes. I know that you want to keep it as smooth as possible.

Does anyone know if PVC pipe when heated bends easly or will it just burst into flames if i use a torch to heat it up a bit??

That could definatly be a idea i haven't though about yet, but the only thing is that it would loose shape quickly so if i got some "great stuff" the expandable foam and sprayed it into that it would maitain a rigid shape in whatever bend i wanted so that i could give it to my friend with the...

I was thinking of some kinda of cylindrical foam that is stiff, i dunno i'm just trying to get my ideas rolling guys. I wana mock this up soon.

The only thing is i don't want a bunch of bends with couplers i just want at the most 3 sets up pipes so i was figuring on just making a templete for him and then having him bend it. I'm planning on going with a short route and its a side to side intercooler. I'm just looking for material for a...

Custom Intercooler pipes; Alright guys I’m getting a johnny race car FMIC Core size: 25 wide X 7.75 tall X 2.75 deep. Now I’ve seem many threads on how to make your on pipes with some bends from summit or jegs. My question is I have a friend who works at a shop and can bend exhaust pipes. What I...

Not trying to bump anything, IMO its not hideous not riced out at all. The owner and i spent countless hours on that car trying to keep it clean looking. The only thing i had a comment on was the Euro lens i tried to talk him into puttin the stockers back in but he likes them. Thats about the...

lol nope not a dsm :D A dsm with that $$ in it would make some really really nice awhp #'s

You can see those two gauges from the drivers seat, kinda ran out of room and nice places to put some gauges. Right now he's running 16-17psi, and when he had it dyno'd he set it up to run reliably. He has a couple of programs on the standalone and he has run 22psi before and its pulled like...

anyone else with comments?

I tell him all the time if that car was a DSM he would have made mad hp :p :thumb: . The work that was put into the car was alot. I actually learned pretty much everything i know about cars from learning on that one. Lots of fun working on it and its a car that you don't see done tastefully...

Hey guys take a look at one of my buddies cars he has up on ebay and let me know what you think. here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4527951886&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITThe car really pulls nicely, and he's spent alot of time on it.
