Hi, I'm in the process of "ruining" my oem harness and replacing it with an ohm racing harness. My ecu will be a haltech with the ic7 dash, so my stock gauges are being removed. I have been depinning and removing wires I do not need.I am stuck with this wire though, it runs from the back of...
Hello All,
It's been over a year since I came on here - my DSM let me down once again and I needed a break. Well, I'm back at it and I'm struggling with the wiring of my OHM racing harness. I reached out the company, but they never replied, so I hope someone on here can help me out.I ordered...
I have not seen many posts about this topic, last one being in 2017! So here is my question,I am in the process of swapping over to a Haltech ECU with DBW, and since Ive been waiting so long for my wiring harness to come in I'm looking to put some money elsewhere. I have been running a JMF...
I was speaking with my cousin, who sold her 1997 Silver Auto GSX in November of 2020. The vehicle was sold in Westchester NY, and we believe it was taken to CT. If anyone on here purchased this vehicle we would love to see the progress/mods of this car. She misses it, and wishes she never sold...
Back around 2003, I ruined my 1998 4g63 block which was in my 98 gsx. At the time I sent it to slowboy racing to get rebuilt, and sent back. Well it took me 20 years but I finally ran the vin number on the block which appears to be a 1995... Now I cannot blame slowboy, my engine was used as a...
I am in the middle of swapping from dsmlink to a haltech ecu in my 2g. My stock harness has been cut up and altered so many times I am thinking about purchasing an ohm racing harness. They look like they are on the ball with options etc. However their communication has not been too good via...
Another winter is here, which means its time to tear down my car for another seasonal build. I was having an issue which required me to drop my transmission, and when draining the fluid it was littered with brass... Which means to me that my 10 year old transmission at least needs to be looked...
After doing a GM alternator swap on my GSX I developed a very frustrating issue. The car dies as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed... I did some research and this is what I've done thus far.1. Cleaned the IAC, and reinstalled
2. Swapped the IAC for a brand new one
3. Checked for vaccume...
I have no idea where to post this question but I am looking for an honest person to help me in the Antioch California area... anyone car savy interested in making some extra money please PM me for details.
Figures my car would be the oddball... I just finished a gm alt swap in my buddy's 1997 and wanted to do it to my 1999. I noticed I do not have the black wire with yellow stripe and I found out that 1999s are different (always something...) So in my search I found this document from jayracing...
I will not lie, I'm not the most consistent driver - often bogging off the line which kills my times due to very bad 60's. I was sad to see that STM is not currently making their staging brake kit, so I decided to do some research and make my own. With the help of this thread...
Those of you who live in New York are in for a treat. If you have not heard NYS is in the process of passing the SLEEP act (Stop Loud Excessive Exhaust Pollution) which will outlaw exhaust modifications that make an exhaust louder. This is a total joke! New York State, where they just made...
I've been in the dsm game for quite a while. Back in the early 2000s I had a bolt on PTE 57 trim turbo, a maf trans and an safc2 which was a blast to drive (I think it made 383whp 333ftlbs). Now I've been working on my buddy's 16g car and he's ready for something bigger. Only he is cheap, and...
I have been going insane over my buddy's car constantly throwing p0202 and p0203 codes. This weekend I did a Saturn alternator swap in his car and threw a p1500 code... a quick search popped up a dsmlink file for both codes driving me crazy! Problem is, I followed the instructions exactly and am...
I am in need of some help regarding Volks 2g rear subframe bushings. I ordered a set today, and started removing my stock ones. I've burnt out the two inner collars and all the rubber. My question is does the outer most collar stay within the subframe, or is it removed?I emailed Paul late but...
This is the first year I'm not seeing many tax return sales... either I missed them or nobody is doing it. I just got my return and it's buring a hole in my pocket, lol. If anyone knows of any sites offering some discounts please let me know.
I have been having some difficulty while at the track getting my car into 3rd gear... This is 100% nerves, while making sure I'm not slamming it back into 1st. I came across Boostin' Performances KDN shifter and fell in love with it. Especially the 1,2,1 lock out feature! A friend of mine put...
I recently purchased a Vamos design fuel tank which allows for the use of a gst hanger if an oem pump and level sender would like to be used (which I want to do). I have been searching for wiring but have been unable to find anyone who has done this. The pump is not really and issue to me since...

I recently ordered a rear tubular subframe for my 2g, and do not have the room to store my stock one once it is removed. If anyone is interested in the OEM one locally (NY, 12590) please let me know. I am unable to ship due to its size, but would be happy to meet in person. Open to offers, will...
I am in the market for a new rear subframe on my gsx. Mine is badly rusted, parts are hard to find, and the weight savings / adjustability are something I am very interested in. The most popular subframes currently are the volk and magnus subframes. Volk is backed up, which I understand - but I...
I don't know if many people use this section of the forum, but a group of us are headed to Lebanon valley raceway this weekend (sat. july 18th). So far its only 3 DSM's I would love to see more, so if your available come out to test and tune.
Last year I finished up a 2g build, and although I am very happy with it now I fear that I will get tired/bored of it over time and I ask myself whats next... Currently my GSX makes 562whp with room to spare. This being said I do not have fuel to spare. My tune is based on 93 pump and I am...
Does anyone know where to purchase some OEM or OEM style retainer clips for our harnesses (CAS,MAP)? I bagged mine up during my build and misplaced them... I've looked in all of the main sites, extremepsi, stm, etc none seem to have them. Any help will be appreciated.
As the title says I am scratching my head over this... My timing is spot on, brand new idler, tensioner pulleys, as well as hydraulic tensioner. The belt tightens up once the engine is rotated, but there is a loose spot - a very loose spot. I read that aggressive cams could cause a problem (I am...
I have been very vocal regarding the lack of any 2g specific catch can options on the market currently. I had this idea of using JMF's small battery tray for a catch can holder, but could not seem to find any catch can to fit. After reaching out to a friend of mine who fabricates for a well...
I cannot believe I was unable to find a thread on this, but here we go... When installing the center crank pulley bolt (which comes with a tapered washer) - does the taper face inwards towards the crank, or outwards towards the pulley?Sorry for the quick question but I cannot find any...

I'm in the middle of my current build. Which consists of an FP3586 HTA bolted to a punishment racing t3 manifold and a single tial 44. My tuner has raised some concerns about its design due to the wastegate placement at the t3 flange. Has anyone running this manifold seen boost creep issues? Or...
Hi, Does anyone in the area know anything about DDA tuned in Newburgh ny? Especially in the tuning department... Any information will be helpful. Thanks
Lets face it... DMS's require work... I have had my engine out of my car so many times, keeping the engine bay free of scratches is almost impossible. So, during my current build I decided to try something new. I purchased color-matched spray paint from my local auto paint supplier here in New...
Looking for an EVO owner who can give me the stud distance on an EVO 8 strut mount. Trying to fab up some cross-over catch can parts and am unsure if it will fit a 2g with some fab work. If its close to the distance of a 2g strut mount then I may be able to make this work. I know there are a few...
Can someone update me on information regarding the limits of an oem 7 bolt crankshaft? My searches have pulled up information from 2006 and older, with power ranges from 400whp to 1000+...Some solid updated information would be appreciated.
Looking to upgrade to a -8 fuel line while using my stock feed as a return. In order to simplify the hose routing I was kicking around the idea of running the feed from the drivers side (-8), mounting my FPR on the pass side, and running the return line straight down to the original feed fitting...
I'm in the process of going over my wiring in a previously hacked up vehicle. I attached photos of the sensor that is unknown to me. It was not plugged into anything and i want to double check what its for prior to deleting. Thanks
Taking a 10 year break from the DSM world is taking a toll on me... I recently purchased a "new" gsx which was previously modded, thus causing me some trouble with the wiring of my COP setup.This car is a 1999, 7 bolt, 95 ECU with Dsmlink. - I do have a CAS, which appears to be an older style...
Hi, returning to the DSM community after a 8 year "break" - Looking to freshen up my radiator support on my 98 GSX. Its been removed, and I know there are stock replacements - but does anyone know of any aftermarket tubular versions available yet? I would like to get rid of that flimsy oem one...

Im what you call a carbon fiber junkie, i can never seem to get enouph of it, but Im tired of getting burnt by the junk non-fitting parts ive been getting. After researching carbon wrapping it seemed easy enouph, so I recently went for it. I started small on parts that i didnt mind ruining if i...
As of last night I started up a Hudson Valley DSM facebook page, facebook.com/hudsonvalleydsm . Friend us, and send me some cool pics of your ride along with your name ([email protected]). Its time we all start meeting up and showing the subaru boys that the DSM's still rule the roads :hellyeah:
I once saw "these" great looking rotors listed on a dsmtuners ad. I believe they were called "andys rotors"??, but i might be mistaken, and im unable to find them anywhere. The rotors came in many different cut styles, and were totally different then any others ive ever seen. I appologize for...
I was driving last night in Westchester New York when I pulled behind the most gorgious 1g GSX ive ever seen. - White body in mint condition, black top, and 100% bone stock. I spoke with the italian driver who was in his late 60's. I had to take a look at this car which should have been on...
Im in the process of moving my external oil cooler for this summer. Does anyone know which outlet on the evo III oil filter housing is the pressure line? Is it he one to the front of the engine bay, or the one closer to the rear. Its been a while since I played with the lines and Im dreawing a...
Every time my GSX breaks down I have been very lucky. I have always managed to be able to pop off the front bumper, and have a buddys truck pull me home, saving an expensive flatbed charge. Taking the bumper and the frontmount off is such a pain on the side of the road to get a tow spot...
This is what happens when you have your car apart for over a year lolI am re-installing my 7 bolt CAS ( 1998 ) the intake cam is threaded to allow a "sprocket" which has two openings on it. ( which you can install two different ways, both openings are difference sizes ) When you have your...
