Ok guys... Unless this concoction of a bill passes allowing to keep the tax credits/subsidies for Ethanol, it looks like E85 will be going up in price by .45/gal. So, with that said, if it does expire and the price does go up. Will those of you running it still use it even though it'll be more...

So, I finally was able to buy a nice welder. I looked around, and around and around and finally came to the conclusion to buy a Hobart Handler 210. I bought it from Tractorsupply.com as it came in a package with gloves, pliers, cover, regulator, and the best thing of all a SPOOL GUN!! All for...

Guys, I've had several sets of piston rings laying around for quite some time now. I been wanting to get rid of some of them for quite some time also! But, most of the part numbers relay back to the NT 4G63 which lead me to do some comparisons between the two.Here are the part numbers...

Well, my tune is starting to really shape up now that I've got my meth leaks fixed. The only thing I can't quite figure out how to fix is a lean condition at throttle tip in. Cruising at 50mph 25% Throttle = 14.5-15.0 AFR. Slam on the throttle 100% and pre-boost it dips lean to about 17.0-19.0...

Recently I started running really lean at idle and super rich at WOT.At first I just thought my WBO2 was acting up. So I replaced the sensor. No change.Boost leak test. Didn't find any leaks.I did have a meth nozzle leak. Fixed that, now at this point I'm running even richer at...

Hey guys Windows 7 was just officially released Oct. 22nd. I utilized their offer for a coupon to upgrade to 7 if I bought Vista a month ago. Of course, what did I do, I bought Vista Ultimate to upgrade my machine from XP and sent in all the necessary paperwork to get my free copy of 7...

Around this time last year I noticed a problem with my heater. I was driving home from work at 6:00am and noticed by the time I got home there was still no heat coming out of the vents. So, I pulled off the hoses to the core under the hood at the firewall and hooked a garden hose up to one of...

Well guys I recently did a boost leak test and it all came out good except for one of my meth nozzle's instant fittings. I really just wanted to post this to find out how many others of you have had your instant compression fittings fail on you. This showed a ridiculous boost leak at the...

and I just wanted to say, "BOOYAH!". :hellyeah:The only leak I found was at one of my meth nozzle hose connections. Finally!! Some consistently good BLT's!!And here's some pictures for you to look at for your trouble of clicking into this thread!Good Day!

Alright guys, I've got another question.Currently I'm working on putting my 95 trans internals into an early '91 case because of this: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/343175-transmission-experts-ever-seen-happen-carnage-pics.htmlI got everything in that thread fixed and I...

Hey guys, today I did a BLT and pressurized the system to 30+ psi. Well, after I was all done I hopped in the car to go to work and before I started the car the brake pedal was very stiff. Normally the brake booster will hold on to vacuum for the first pump of the pedal. Not this time.The...

Check it out guys. I finally got around to removing the ABS from my car. It opened up a lot of space in the engine bay!! So, I was looking around and decided I wanted to tuck the engine harness. So, I got out my razor blade and started in on the harness. While I did the ABS removal I took the...

Hey guys, I'm going to be getting some new rubber coming up before winter. Well, my wife and I have decided that I will be going with an all season tire. Now, of course I want to get the best performing tire that I can get while it still being a all season rated tire. I currently have Fuszion...

Check this out!! I recently rebuilt my transmission myself about 2500 miles ago. First gear was always a bear to get into but I always could get it in. About 1000 miles after the build I ended up with a whine in 1st gear. I assumed the intermediate shaft didn't get shimmed properly because I...

My mod list is up to date. And sorry for the book I'm about to write...Here's my problem.I tuned my car this winter on meth and everything ran great at 27psi and 11.5:1 AFR throughout my 3rd gear pulls. This is on a S16G pulling 36lb/min.Now that it's summer time and 90*+ out, I'm...

For those of you that delve into the depths of burning your own EPROM chips for the stock ECU you might find this interesting. I recently used the code found on the DSM-ECU Yahoo Group to wire my AEM UEGO directly to the ECU for a native wideband.Yahoo! GroupsI was hoping that this...

Just went to the junkyard today and found two '92 AWD's with 6 bolts intact. Trans's are gone along with the t-case's. One is a Talon and the other is a Laser. Talon is black and the laser is Red. If you guys need anything off of them I can look for you. I'll be going out tomorrow to yank one of...

Ok. I've been messing around with the tune on my car for a while now. Seems to run really good at 11.0:1 AFR on 91 pump gas with 18* timing by redline. What seems to be the problem now is that I've got the timing under control to the point where it doesn't knock at all til 25psi. My open loop...

Last winter really sucked. I didn't have an extra set of wheels to put any tires on for the added traction. This year I was fortunate enough to be able to part 2g and retain the wheels that were on it. Going around corners in Z-rated summer performance tires on snow and ice is very unpredictable...

Now that the price of gas is coming down, what is the price of Race Gas in your area??Now, I don't buy a whole lot of race gas since here lately it's been out of my reach as far as price. But, since the price for 87 octane is currently $1.58 per gallon here. I'm curious what it has done to...

I have always been plagued with a horrible interior in my DSMs. The '90 GS had the black and gray interior that was in bad shape. Then, the white TSi had the light gray leather which had huge tears and cracks in them. Now, the current blue TSi had NO interior when I bought it so naturally the...

I just had to express my excitement about what I found at the junkyard after 5 years of looking for one...1G HATCH COVER!!!!! :sneaky:Best thing about it was they didn't know what the hell it was and gave it to me as Misc. Interior: $6.99!!!!For those of you that have a hatch cover and...

Here's what I've got... I'm getting some knock starting at 4300 RPM and tapering off towards redline. I'm running all the mods in my profile and have just started using TunerPRO and burning my own chips.The current chip I am running is: -Compensated for my FIC 650's through global and...

I don't get it... I don't know if anyone else has seen this on other forums or what. But, what the hell are these guys thinking. I think it is rediculously retarded. One of the other forum members was at my house showing me this. I just had to post it and inform you guys of the insanity. Seems...

I think a lot of people throw around the terms 50 trim, 57 trim, 60 trim, etc. Without knowing exactly what and how the trim of a turbo is calculated. Did you know that a 14b is a 55 trim turbo? And a small 16g is a 60 trim? While a Big16g is only a 50 trim? Why would a larger turbo have a...

I was googling "Your Honda Sucks" in the image section trying to find a replacement for my T-Shirt. On the front it says "Guess What?" on the back it says "Your Honda Sucks!". I got mine all greasy from wrenching on my DSM. Anyway I'm searching away and come across this website that shows how to...

E85 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaI was going to make a "smart ass" comment but I will refrain.

Just curious. I just built my pipes and was wondering how many other people have in their intercooling system? I've got 5. But I think I can get it down to 4 by welding one peice. But I think then I couldn't get that pipe off later easily.

I have not seen a VFAQ about the disassembly of the 4G63 engine. I will post some pictures of my JDM 6-bolt disassembly and comment about them:Reason for tearing this engine down was due to a skipped timing belt.Start off by putting your engine on a stand. I bought mine from cummins tools...

This How-To will show you how to wire up your gauge lights easily so that when you use your dimmer switch it will also dim your gauge lights.Upon looking at the back of the HVAC panel on my 1g, I noticed that there are two copper bars that run the whole length of it which powers the little...

Here you go guys this is a great tool!!I needed a way to remove my valve springs/retainers to get down to the valve spring seats. I will admit I fudged up when I originally put my head together. I acquired a brand spanking factory new head when I bought this car and low a behold when a new...

Ok guys, I'm in the process of ordering parts for my transmission. I'm ordering them from JNZtuning.net through their OEM parts catalog by Trademotion. I have been questioning only one part number. The 1-2 hub/slider through CAPS comes back with two part numbers a MD749414 and MD746442. The...

Well, here it goes. I started off by buying a 2g for dirt cheap hoping the transmission was good. I would drop the trans into my '91 and drive while I rebuild my failing trans. Plans changed as the 2g trans could not stay into 1st or 4th. So what do I do being a true DSMer? I take it into my own...

I would like to get a track day setup for all the Kansas City and surrounding area DSMer's. KCIR is open and I want to see some of us get together and run them. Let's get some ideas together on what dates are available for most people. I know it's grudge nights on Wednesdays and Fridays so let's...

What do you guys think this log was done tonight on all the mods in my profile running 20psi creeping to 22-24. I think I need a front mount or some alky. Look at 5th gear starts to knock in that gear only. Only got 6 counts though.~Kletke~

I recently did the conversion to Dual Piston Calipers w/larger rotors on my 1991 Talon TSi AWD.There are multiple reasons for doing this mod buy my main reason was: -Stock brakes are wimpy -I had a 2g sitting there to pull parts fromWhat you will need:-Hi-Temp Grease -Brake Clean -Pliers...

I also broke down and bought, you know, one of THOSE radiators. Knock off brand, Mishimoto, Aluminum Radiator.Here is the post for the 2G radiator: Mishimoto Radiator and Fans - 2GI'll just focus on the 1g model since ndsti did a great job on the 2g post.I did buy mine from EBAY Price...

Here it goes. I am in the process of rebuilding my first transmission. I've read through the VFAQ plenty of times and have the FSM. What I'm asking for is a little advice. Below is a picture of the 1-2 shift fork. My question is: Does that fork look worn out to the point that it won't engage 1st...

So you want to go with a Coil On Plug setup? Don't want to pay $400 or more? This tech article will show you how to build your setup for less than $100.Parts needed: 1. Four coils off of a 1999-2002 Dodge Intrepid 2.7L or 3.5L (can also be from other cars, but I used the ones from the 2.7L)...

Like the title says, when driving it feels like timing is being pulled even before getting into boost. It has an overall drag on the car like something is holding it back from moving. I have been getting crap gas mileage about 10mpg. My question is could this be the transmission crapping out? In...
