Can anyone tell me what other vehicles brakes will fit the front of my 96 Gst? I don't have the money for a brand new big brake kit, so what are my alternitives?Thank you for your info :thumb:

So my brakes suck, nothing new there, mushy pedal, wont stop unless double pumped, and pushed almost all the way down.Technical- some unknown crossdrilled, sloted rotors all 4 wheels. Advance auto parts ceramic pos pads rear, Hawk pads front.Brake booster passed all the tests I could...

I can't post in the tuning section for some stupid reason, even though I rebuilt my 4G63 myself on the ground in front of my Townhouse :confused:Anyway I hooked up my new Maf-T and set it to AUX 4 BASE 2.I have a 2g current profile. Only using it to translate, I am tuning with my $375...

I may be playing the fool, but what is the mechanism that keeps/alows you to build boost during idle revving ?I noticed a guy with the same bov as me and he can free rev and get full discharge from his bov sitting still with very little Rpm, while I have to redline to get even a faint...

Hello, My profile is up to date. My question is - How much oil pressure causes slow spoolup ?With my balance shafts disconected but not removed, my stock pressure gauge goes to about 3/4 of its range under 20 psi of boost.My turbo is a slowboy G50 and since day 1 I've had horrible spool...

I know I've seen this somewhere before but I would apreciate some further clarification.Should my high, and low settings be the same, on my S-afc II ? Why ? or why not?I feel like they should be the same, barring any obvious logs showing needed adjustments which should be minor...

Car= 96 Gst, daily driver, Lots of mobs see profile.Suspension= Stock, no mods in the near futureCurrently= Riding on 215/45/17 junk ass Wanli tires :notgood: . Unknown rim dimensions :coy: , however this tire size fits/looks well on them, except for excessive fender gap. These tires...

My BRAKE fluid reservoir is leaking from the cap. This is the large round reservoir. The cap comes loose after hard braking. How/why does this happen? Is it common? If I just get another cap will it just happen again?Obviously. my BRAKES do not function well when the cap is loose, the...

Searched found nothing on this issue.PLEASE HELP :cry:OK The large brake fluid container, with the big round cap, it comes loose if I break hard and leaks fluid out. WTFAlso brand new Hawk pads in the front on slotted cross drilled rotors, 1 hard stop, pedal goes to the floor, and brakes...

Is it normal for the brake pedal to become solid, almost un movable while accelerating under boost ?I find it wierd, never had a car do that...............:dsm:

Here are 2 logs from my freshly rebuilt and upgraded Gst, please advise... At 3k rpm i go WOt a/f gauge goes lean and car slows down, then boost comes in bout 4k and it goes rich like it should on the gauge, below is what the logs show...Sob this thing never posts my logs right, sorry don;t...

I know its been said in broken posts and unclear messages but please, again.Could some one please explain, corectly, and in plain simple english how to tune a 96 Gst with SAFC II on the LOW throttle settings.Thankyou in advance:dsm:

So my 96 Gst died on the way to work some weeks ago. The timing belt wasn't moving while cranking the motor. My car has been leaking about 1 quart a week for a few months now, thought it was cam or crank seals. This is what I discovered today,1) timing cover had no gasket on it. 2)...

Well Yesterday going to work the car dies coasting up to a light :notgood:crank, sputer, nothing, crank, nothing.............Push off road, pop hood, crank, nothing...............Crank, look at exposed timing belt, not moving, inhale, scream, inhale, loud cussing :cry:So I'm...

So I followed the instructions I got from another thread in tuning here. My S-AFC II LOW settings look like this 1000rpm -3% 1600rpm -5% 2400rpm -8% 3200rpm -18% 3800rpm -18% -----> 7600rpm -18%Used to have -30% from 1600rpm------->7600rpm LOW settings.Doesn't really feel...

Hey tuners :thumb:So my car is sick, still.During race type accelleration Stick won't go into 3rd, have to double pump the clutch. Under normal load driving everything is fine. Recent ACT 2600+streetdisk+clutch mastercylinder.Any thoughts? missing 3rd sucks, thats my sweet spot...

So Ive had my S-AFC II for several months now and I noticed somewhere on this site that people are running less #'s on the low throttle settings then the high settings. Am I missunderstanding ?With my setup i'm running -30 across the board both high and low. and I have the secondary map set...

So I get my new ACT 2600 with street disk and fidanza flywheel installed.2 days later I get the "phantom pedal"1 week later I replace clutch master cylinder.now I can't get into 3rd under hard acceleration. normal driving is NP, if im pushing it hard 3rd seems to be locked out as in...

So I'm at a loss, sometimes my boost only hits like 9-10 psi like in 1st gear, or second gear if im gentle on the pedal.boost is hopefully set to about 22-25psi and I can hit that most of the time.Is this a symptom of internally gated turbos ? or am i missing something?Just got done...

Ok, so I made my boost leak tester from a coupler and a pvc endcap+ tire valve, as per this site.I stick it directly on my turbo intake and use a bicycle pump. I canot get ANY pressure to show on my boost gauge in car, no matter how fast I pump this thing. 2nd idea, I use a small...

So my car runs great but, I wanted to turn up my boost some more. running about 23-24 atm profile is current.My turbo is a G50 (slowboy)I can't seem to get anymore out of it. I have tightened my waste gate arm considerably more then when I received it. No creep issues just lack of...
