    1G Has anyone found a machine shop that actually resurfaces our flywheels properly?

    I recently got burned by a shop that resurfaced a flywheel for me and messed up the step height. I asked them for measurements when they finished it and the person I was corresponding with didn't do the actual machining so they didn't have the measurements but assured me that it would be in...

    Tial MV-S overboosting ONLY while cold

    Been a long time since I've posted here, but this one has me stumped. I have a Tial MV-S on a recirculated MAPerformance O2 housing bolted to an HX35 on a BEP DSM turbine housing. 3" exhaust, no cat.The problem is, I have the springs set to open at 18psi but it will overboost to 30psi the...

    Car runs stupid lean after using water/meth injection

    I just installed a Devil's Own meth injection kit. Before tuning for meth I wanted to test it out with just water to see that the trigger system and fail-safe that I set up is working. I flip a switch to activate the pump, it is triggered to flow by a hobbs boost pressure switch, and it works...

    Confirming oil pressure at the turbo

    Overview:

There has been a lot of discussion about proper oiling for Holset and Garret turbos (see these two threads): http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/turbo-system-tech/244467-holset-hx-35-oiling.html...

    Multiple A/C compressor failures

    Last year I had a shop convert my A/C over to R134a but part way through the summer my compressor seized. I figured the compressor was really old and about to go. I replaced it with another compressor that I pulled out of a parts car and had the system recharged. Well, right in the middle of...

    Knock sensor to ECU resistance

    Searched, couldn't find an answer for this...I've had horrible PK problems that are very random. After trying all the usual PK fixes, a fellow DSM owner recommended checking for continuity between the KS and the ECU to see if there's too much resistance. Well, my meter reads 1.2 Mohms...

    Intermittent lean condition...FPR solenoid?

    Recently, out of no where, I've been experiencing a problem where all of a sudden my car will run extremely lean under WOT for about a minute, then return back to normal. I have a Zeitronix Zt-2 on my dash with a warning light/buzzer that warns me when I run leaner than 11.5:1 at greater than...

    ECU damage

    Hey thereI pulled my ECU and found a spot labled C14 that has some obvious damage to it. I can't tell if it burned up or if it is damage from leaky caps. I bought the ECU used, and I believe the caps were already replaced b/c they are different colors than the OEM ones. I don't smell that...

    Stroker timing and EGTs

    I have been trying to come up with a good tune for a while now with my 2.3L without much success. I'm running stock cams and a Evo III 16G GT turbo w/ a Punishment FMIC (I know, I'll get a bigger turbo when I can).From the reading that I've done, the 2.3L motors w/ higher compression (mine...

    2 Bosch relays for cooling fans- series or parallel?

    I've got 2 spal fans that I want to have turn on/off simultaneously. When I was using just one spal fan, I had a Bosch relay sending 12v to the fan, and used the factory fan wiring to switch the relay on/off (same principal as the fuel pump rewire). Now that I have a second spal fan, I have...

    Running really rich after FMIC install

    I'm using TunerPro with the Ostrich emulator to tune. I have the Zeitronix wideband setup to monitor. All mods are in my profile.After installing my FMIC I'm running very rich at WOT, and my fuel trims are off, compensating for a rich condition. At first I suspected a boost leak (I...

    [RESOLVED] Serial to USB with TMO logger

    I have the serial to USB adapter from the Zeitronix website. It works perfectly with the Zt-2 software, but when I try to log w/ the TMO logger so I can see knock it doesn't work. The TMO software connects successfully, but doesn't see any data. Do I need to change any speed settings on the...

    Red Line Time Attack, Buttonwillow

    Time Attack had its season opener in Buttonwillow, CA last Sunday. I wanted to have my car ready to enter, but unfortunately it wasn't. My wife and I trekked up there to spectate regardless. No DSMs, but plenty of Evo's out there. There were some clean cars, and some junkers too. Lots of...

    [RESOLVED] Stupid wastegate question

    I've been reading up a bit on boost creep elimination and a question comes to mind for me. A lot of people point out the importance of the ability of the flapper (internal wsategate) to open 90 degrees rather than be restricted by the exhaust housing (like stated here).BUT, what is the...

    Wideband or ECU problem?

    I'm running a Zetronix Zt-2 with a stock ECU. I had to pull the O2 sensor out to drop the down pipe to work on my transfer case the other day, and since then (after bolting everything back together) I've been experiencing two problems. The first is that if I try to rev the engine shortly after...

    How to prime the oil pump with timing components already installed

    IntroductionA lot of people ask if and how they should prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild before they fire up the engine. I highly recommend priming the oil pump. Every manual I've seen states to do this. So do all the engine builders I've talked to. While it is a known method to...

    [RESOLVED] AFC problem

    I'm in the process of figuring out why my car is leaning out at 5,500 rpm, and I have a specific question about the AFC. By logging w/ Zeitronix I've been able to see what my true A/F is, but yesterday I started looking at the "cor" display meter on my AFC. I've noticed that during WOT 3rd gear...

    [RESOLVED] leaning out at 5,500 rpm (have logs)

    I'm trying to dial in my new 2.3 stroker so that it will safely run low boost levels before I start cranking it up. I'm running a boost source straight to the wastegate (all mods in profile are current).Basically I hit 9psi pretty quickly and then it creeps to around 12psi. At about 5,500 it...

    [RESOLVED] What tires for SM class in AutoX?

    Turbo and engine mods have pushed me into SM class, and I'm wondering what would be the best bang-for-the-buck tires that will give me at the very least a snowball's chance in hell to be competitive in SM. Last year I picked up some used RA-1's for practically nothing that still have a little...

    [solved] Sticky Throttle cable (not TB)

    I swapped out my cruise cable for a non-cruise cable. Now the gas pedal is very sticky, as if the cable has a kink in it. You can also hear a scraping noise come from the cable. Very hard to do precise throttle inputs.It is NOT the throttle body. I replaced the shaft seals and they are...

    Welded clutch pedal assembly still has play

    :mad: I've pulled my pedal assembly TWICE. Once to replace arm/lever with brand new Mitsu OEM parts (including new bushings). Still had free-play after that (the type where you can lift the pedal up with your toe after you've pressed the pedal down to the floor).I pulled it a second time...

    Do i need to replace my clutch disk?

    I over-greased the TOB and the shaft that it slides on. The TOB pushed grease onto the clutch and the clutch is slipping. I know I can clean the friction surfaces w/ brake cleaner, but is there anything I can do about the disk? Should I clean the flywheel/p.plate and re-install, or do I need...

    Fried Clutch Diagnosis

    I installed a RRE clutch and RRE lightened flywheel, followed every single step in Haynes as well as the few writeups in the vFAQ. The install seemed to go fine. At first it grabbed really nicely, but after a few hundred miles it started to feel like a worn stock clutch. I babied the heck out...

    There used to be tons of Logger cables available on eBay for $12-$30. I used to use a friend's cable and now I need one of my own, but I can't find any on eBay anymore. Anybody know where to get a decent logger cable for around $20? (Preferably one with the adapter on the car end that allows...
