Ever since working in my Uncles 40x30 when I was a teenager I had envisioned having a shop like that of my own in my back yard. Well, after becoming first time home buyers in November I started on my project and felt like sharing.Still far from "complete" almost like any car project there is...

So I've had more headaches than I can handle with my 5spd, been contemplating auto for a while, just never found a swap car, well, I have one now, and I'm pulling the trigger.Just have a few basic questions.1. How far will the stock tq converter go if at all? - I'm in the 550whp range...

Alright, I'm pretty much spent on everything I know to try, but maybe I also misunderstand clutch drag a bit as well.Is any amount of clutch drag acceptable? Should the car NEVER move when revved up that high with the clutch on the floor?I rev the car to right about 7,000 and the car...

Ok, so I've exhausted most all of my efforts to figure this out.My car is AWD, but put a FWD trans in it while I did some work on my trans, and there is a Dyno day coming up I wanted to do. Car ran great for a week or two.Now the car intermittently will lock me out of all gears. Sometimes...

I've put about 3-4k miles on my rebuilt transmission using parts from Jacks Transmissions and everything has been great. I was doing some pulls the other night, hit 4th, and it was stuck in 4th, I manged to get it out of 4th, and now was locked out of 3rd and 4th. I assumed I broke a shift fork...

Very new to Speed Density and I've been fumbling around trying to get a decent tune and for the life of me can't figure this out. I'm having several issues and hoping someone can give me a hand. I'm sure my VE table is a joke but I'm trying my best and getting very frustrated.When taking off...

Alright, as some of you guys know I've been breaking in my new transmission, and would like you guy's opinion.1. Who here has aftermarket cable bushings 2. Who here has aftermarket shifter base bushings 3. Who here has the shep/other aftermarket cable bracket spacers?What were the...

So I noticed I have a small fluid leak on my 1G, and I do some searching, and it seems that the fluid is coming from around the base of the gear select lever, the one that is held to the trans via roll pin.The selector has a rubber gromit at the base, which I assumed was there to keep debris...

I'll try to make this as short as possible, I have a few ideas and am going to try them this afternoon but I'd like some more opinions.The beginning. Rebuilt the trans using Jacks Value package w/double 2nd. My 3rd gear looked a little beat up, but we used it anyways and just replaced the...

Who all on here has/is pre-ordered their copy ? Or at least planning on getting it near launch. We should get a pool of B.Net user names so we can play together!Been waiting 10 years for this. The DSM is about to get neglected for a few months-possibly years.

All I can find is black ones, would prefer not to paint as I'm sure it wont match and will scratch easily.Thanks

Just got done rebuilding my 1g AWD trans for the first time using the Jacks Transmissions "Economy" build with double synchro 2nd.I'm assuming at the very least I should take it easy for a few hundred miles, but interested in some tranny wisemen's input, Zimmer, Jacks, or anyone else that...

Transmission in my car has been absolutely terrible, and I've exhausted all of my used transmissions but still couldn't afford a nice TMZ trans either. My buddy volunteered to take a stab at rebuilding the trans, he's built several longblocks before and had excellent results so I took a chance...

A good friend of mine is a free lance photographer and I asked if he'd be interested in taking some shots of my 1g, they turned out awesome!

Well we just finished tuning my car on the new HTA86 setup the other day and took it out for some fun.I'm curious as to what sort of boost levels would be safe on a stock bottom end, right now I'm running on pump, 24lbs, 18* of timing, and flowing 51lb/min lifting at 7500, with an 11.5 AFR...

So I just got my new turbo setup yesterday. Tried to mock up the turbo today and had mixed issues.Its a bolt on HTA86 from FP with a Tial 44WG.1. I ordered this ...

Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP HTA DSM86 Ball Bearing TurbochargerAnyone using one of these? I didn't have the dough to lay down on a nice T3 manifold so I decided to go with this one, I'm sure it will be more than enough for my goals for the time being anyways.I'm waiting on mine to...

Alright, so I just ordered a new FP HTA86 :hellyeah: and was searching if you could use the factory water lines/banjo bolts.This thread Justin says yes, and even posts a picture, so I'm inclined to side with his judgment any day anyways...

Heres the plates I've come up with that are available in my state. Any suggestions are welcome as well. What do you guys think?Thanks

Basically I'm interested in hearing from any other members who have deleted their heater cores, and their lines. (Not just loop them, actually blocking them off at the thermostat housing).To the people who have, do you just run a stock thermostat without any issues?Reason I'm asking is a...

So I've set base timing many many times in my long dsm career and never encountered anything like this.Go to set base timing, adjust it to 5* BTDC, but in order to attain 5* the CAS has to be turned all the way advance until it won't go any further. I'm 100% positive that the mark on the...

Here is my 1990 AWD TSi build. Enjoy!So, any of you who saw my introduction post got to know a little about me. If you missed it, to sum it up. A DSM was my first car when I was 16 in 2003, and I think there has only been about a year or 2 since that I haven't owned at least one.At the...

So I have a bunch of left over -4AN line and fittings laying around and I was contemplating replacing the stock return with it. I searched and see that most people just run a -6AN return if their going to upgrade.I don't really need to upgrade my return, just wouldnt mind getting rid of the...

So for the longest time the HTA68 from FP has been $925, I actually placed an order for one with a ported turbine housing last week and received it this week.I happen to jump on FP's website to browse and noticed that now its $1145!?! I'm so glad I pulled the trigger when I did, my car isn't...

Anyone running an SS line from the stock fuel pump assembly to rail? I just wanted to know if a -6 AN fitting will seal properly to the factory barb style fitting on the assembly? My standard -6 AN union threads in and bottoms out, so I'd like to imagine it would work, but I'd like some...

I just recently put Pacesetter Header on my car, and was wondering if anyone knew about how much hp you get out of them, i really dont have access to a dyno cuz i dont feel like paying for it. but if anyone has any idea it dosnt even have to be pacessetter, headers are headers should be about...

I have a 93 Talon awd and my driveshaft studs are stripped. I know your first questions would be how did they get stripped or re-thread them. But, the guy who owned the car before me said that the guy who owned it before him had stripped the driveshaft studs so, the guy I purchased the car from...

Well, I'm just throwing this idea out because it may be a help to some with dsmlink or any other ways to combat the R/M code. Recently my friend and I put a rebuilt 6 bolt into his 2g with the 91-92 CAS. The first week of driving, it had a CEL for the coolant temperature sensor. It would crank...

UPS Came by, Finally gonna get rid of the 16g !! Should be on by the end of the week, I'll be one of PTE's guinee pigs and let all of you know how the newer GT style wheels work out for me. :dsm:http://66.193.230.60/~dlara/sedsmorg/showthread.php?t=17582

Well I just ordered my new turbo setup, GT32e (3255) and a tial 38mm wg and the flanges. I have a wholesale account with PTE so after shipping it tipped in right under 1000 dollars, currently i have an internally gated b16g, It took me a very long time to decide to go with the gt32 over the...

Ok, my friend brought this up to me and i have no idea, i bought a 91 shell car, and i have a 92 , and im using my motor and the 92 tranny ,he said i may have cable problems ... i knew the 90's had a completely different setup, but i thought hte 91-94's were the same, if anyone knows anything...

Ok, I just bought a 91 awd tsi from a local board member, i already have a running 92 awd, but the shell is in horrible shape, and i plan on swapping motors, but heres the thing, the 91 i got has a full motor, and is basically BPU, it turns over, but does not fire off, he said that it had been...

Clutch Problems / Pissed off Rant!!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Alright, I'm mega pissed right now so this may be hard to understand cuz its rant/explination, but im gonna make a long story semi-shortI get my new motor in ( jdm )...

I did a pull today, 3rd gear , 3k-7k, at 3k timing was 14 degree's, o2 voltage .82 ( already pretty lean ) 0 knock, 19psi , rpms get higher , timing climbs to 20 degree's start getting a lil bit of knokc ( 5-8 counts ) timing tapers off a lil to 17 degree's, o2 drop to fuggin .76 and im just...

Basically here is my problem whenever i hit the brake pedal, it goes to the floor, i have to pump it several times to get pedal pressure back up, and as soon as i let off again, it dies again., im not exactly sure when it started happening, i did my back brakes w/o bleeding them, and it started...

Ok, I just purchased a GM-MAFT setup for my 1g , and to be frank, im a stupid a$$ and when pulling the wires trhough the firewall, i pulled the wires out of the plug that plugs into the stock mas plug. I was wondering if any of you guys running the GM-MAFT with a 1g could take a close up picture...

ok right now i have a 2g mas and an s-afc in my 1g, the s-afc was in my car when i purchased it, and im about to convert to the gm-maft setup, and my question is do i like set the settings on the s-afc back to 100% normal ? and then does it just " unplug " or is it wirined into the ecu or what ...

This is my 1g the part of the log im showing is a 3rd gear pull from a top of 2nd shift.o2 seem a little lean to me, but my EGT never got above 1550, im in for new injectors soon, the 510's are at a high duty cycle as it shows, this is with a 2g mas w 510cc injectors , s-afc adjust +19% from...

I'm wondering, i cant remember, are all 1g ecu's aside from the 1990 model e-prom ? or is it the other way around the 90 model is e-prom and the rest are not ? im anxciously awaiting dsmlink for the 1g, i was told it would be released within the next month so im totally stoked.

hey, flame me all you want for being a retarded 17 y/o with a fast car, but i hit a curb really bad in my 1g awd, and i bent up the lower control arm pretty bad, and im not sure if i damaged anything else, the car's wheel sits about 5 inches closer to the rear in the wheel well and has about a...

I was wondering where i can get a new wiring harness for a 2g turbo eclipse ( june 95 prod. ) its a project car that i picked up for 300 bucks and the harness has been cut in several places due to some lazy @$$ not unhooking it before he parted out the car, i almost want to go to a dealership...

Ok. I know theres plenty of thread's on here regarding this topic, but I can't seem to find one that answer's exactly what i'm looking for. Here is my situation. I'm picking up a 96 GST shell with no motor, 300 bucks, awsome condition, cant pass it up. I have a complete 6bolt motor all sensors...

Ok, i'm plannin on going to the track wednesday, and as of right now i have a stock o2 :( a 3'' RNR cat eliminator downpipe, and greddy 2.5'' power extreme exhaust, my question is would it be benificial to run an open downpipe when i go to the track ? i know it probably sounds mean as hell, but...

Possible WG Problem ? This has been happening since i put my new motor in with the big16g on it into my car and i thought it was just an issue with backpressure on the stock downpipe, but when i put the 3'' on there and it still did it, it makes me wonder, my car, in first gear, will only...

Ok, heres my situation and story includedMy dad calls me, he said he has a big intercooler off of some turbo truck, he asks me if i want it and can do something with it, i tell him to go ahead and get it, he paid a whole 20 dollars for it, its a bar - plate core, the measurments are...

Im heading to the track on wednesday night, and im putting C16 ( 116 Octane ) gas in my car to up the boost, I can get away with running 20psi on 93 octane with only a few counts of knock, my question is how much more boost could/should I be able to run while on the C16, I was assuming around...

This is a 3rd Gear pull, at only like 15psi, mods that matter are 2g mas , 510cc injectors, walbro 255hp , s-afc, and cooler plugs, i dont understand why im getting so much knock, even when i did a few runs at 10psi i got afew counts of knock...whats up ?? on my s-afc i have it richened almost...
