Hello everyone, I dug a 1g turbo out of the grave. IT had been sitting for a long period of time. Fuel tank and pump were trashed, so I replaced those. When I went to start the car everything seemed normal, could hear fuel pump working, starter engaged, but no start. I tried a few more times...

Hi I have a 90 turbo fwd. Car is not getting spark. I believe it is the igniter or power transistor. Is there anyway I can check this part or bypass it just to see if car will get spark? I just don't want to buy anything yet untill I figure out the true problem. Thanks alot
The headlight blackout on my car is actually GTO covers. Didn't even know they made them for our cars but I found them used on Ebay and I think they look great!
Well no boost leaks. I grounded wire today for timing and the car cut off. And now it wont start. It is still getting fuel, fire and compression. why would this happen?
I have comp 110200 cams in my car. and a FEW other mods (check profile) My car will absolutley not idle when it gets to operating temperature. It idles high but consistent when cold and when it starts to get hot it stats to surge and eventually will cut off. Car runs well and seems strong off...
Hi guys, did my own custom intercooler piping setup. I have 2 steel pipes I would like to bead the ends on, to make sure they dont come off at high boost. Is there anyway I can do it myself? Anyone have any experience with doing this? If so let me in on the secret. Thanks tuners
Hi I first had a 95 Talon Tsi that was wrecked, parted out, and still have the front seats. Bought a 90 talon and the seats are worn. Wanting to know if they can be placed in my 1g easily. Direct bolt or some easy fabbing will work. Anyone with any knowledge of swapping seats would be greatly...

Hi, well today I installed an autometer oil pressure gauge just for peace of mind. I have a stock internal motor with BS elimination and it has 100k on the clock. My stock pressure gauge always read, what I thought was normal ( like 1/4 at idle and a little over 1/2 while crusing). When I hooked...
They are noticeably quieter than most other 4 bangers. I have an external dump 02 and a 3" catless turbo-back with a megan racing muffler, and it is suprisingly loud compared to other dsm's I have owned/seen. I think having a cat and or a LARGE turbo can really make a difference. Still love the...
Hi guys. Sometimes when I am driving, normally when I boost it, it will instantly start barely running. It will stay this way. The CEL will come on and when I check it with my logger it comes back code 22 which is crank angle sensor. Keep in mind this is a 1g and I dont have a crank sensor that...
I have Comp cams 101200 in my car and remember seeing the etching on them when I installed them. This cam has no etching at all just the cast marks I mentioned earlier. Thanks
Hi i acquired an intake cam with some other parts that I am pretty sure is after market. Can anyone help me identify it? It has a CWC cast marking along with EP4604 cast in it. thanks
Could be numerous things. It could be your lifters, but that normally only happens at lower oil pressures (hot) rather than cold. I have had lifters tick at startup though. Be more specific in the area that it is coming from. If you can post a video that might help also.

Hi guys. I have a very wierd problem that I dont know the cause of. Heres the deal... I just dropped in my fresh 6 bolt. I bought brand new Fidanza aluminum flywheel off someone here on tuners. It was advertised as AWD which is what I needed. I bolted the flywheel to the crank then aligned an...
Hi guys, I am looking into getting a SBR GT series turbo. I have looked around, but not been able to find an anwser to my question. My question is, is this turbo oil cooled AND water cooled, or just plain oil cooled. Thanks alot.
hey guys A buddy of mine is in the process of rebuliding a burnt 91 tsi fwd. He needs everything under the hood. I know of a really good deal on shifter cables and wiring harness. The only problem is that they are from a 91 awd. This car is going to be strictly a race car. I need to know if...
Hi tuners. To start off, I removed my original engine from my 90 because of low compression. I just recently got a low mileage 6 bolt from a 92. My question is... what are the differences in the electronics/sensors in this 92 engine that I have. Basically, what do I need to take off my 90 engine...
Rob, there were TWO gear ratios placed in either the 4 bolt or 3 bolt. Automatic gear ratios are different from 5 speeds. The 5 speed ratio is 3.545. The auto ratio is 3.307 . Im saying screw the 90 stuff, go ahead and change to 23 spline. The driveshaft length will still be the same, along...
Heres mine, although not a turbo one, I thought it was appropriate.. hince my name lol. "Bore and stroke do matter, but its the shape of your head that counts." -HEMI.
A little perverted but oh well. haha.

Hi, depending on what you are looking for, I suggest Advanced Transmissions on Mauldin Rd in Mauldin, SC. As far as turbo install, Id suggest my backyard haha. I wouldnt mind helping a fellow tuner. Im about 30 mins from anderson. PM me if you need anything. Thanks

Well OBD-II cars when it comes to DSM's are no harder or easier to mod and tune than an OBD-I car. You can still put in an aftermarket "chip" in and OBD-II and tune it. Bottom line, people rarely if ever covert to OBD-I, AND you wont run into alot problems in an OBD-II over an OBD-I car. That...
Damn nice pics. I love the ass shots.. not only were they great to look at, they also made me laugh. Love how you cut many of their heads out. Anyways nice work.
Hi tuners, i recently picked up a holset turbo for dirt cheap, and I know nothing about it. I work with mitsu turbos, not holset. I have a few pics of it and the numbers on the remanufactured tag are as follows: Kit: 3802770RX Assy: 3537132 Serial: 978237. The intake is 4inchs and the compressor...
Yeah I live in Greenville. Like my man said Hooby Lobby on Wodruff road is where its at. ON sunday night that place comes alive. Maybe 100-150 Tuner cars and maybe another 150 spectators car. It gets crazy. Its sad, theres only 1 2g GSt and me. Soon Ill be eating all them up. If anyone wants to...
Thanks for the quick answers. Well here in SC and turbo dsm is rare... and cheap I might add. This car on ebay is what had me thinking it could be special order. I dont believe everything I hear, but who knows his statement could be ture? Check out this link and read about his RARE FWD...
Hi tuners. I have a quick question that I want to ask. I can never seem to get straight answers. Most of the 1g turbos were AWD, and when I first entered the DSM scene, I thought they only produced AWDs. So time passes and I spot a few FWD 1gs. So obviosuly they are out there. I have been told...
The last question you asked is a personal problem you must decide on. My car is lowerd 1.5 inches, I think the Eibachs are the same or maybe a bit more (1.8). Any more than that and you will run in to major camber issues, that must be taken care of. With my drop I noticed minor negative camber...
