I was going to change the brake pads on my gf's integra the other day and i realized that it had locking lugs and the key for the lug wrench is nowhere to be found. Is there any special trick that can get locking lugs off? I've heard of welding a normal lug to the locking lug to take it off...

When I originally installed my ACT2100 I was thinking I would only be buying a T28 killer as a turbo upgrade. Well I ended up getting a PTE 50 trim and all it takes is a few launches at 23 psi for this clutch to start slipping a little in 3rd gear. What clutch/disc combo would handle drag...

I was installing energy suspension motor mount inserts yesterday and the front insert went in without a hitch. Long story short, I broke one of the mounting bolts on the rear motor mount. From where the bolt is, it is pretty much impossible to get to the bottom of it to try to use some vice...

About what temperature range is the ideal operating temperature for the 4G63T? According to my pocketlogger the coolant usually stays at a pretty steady 205 degrees, sometimes going up to 210 for a brief while. Is this pretty much the ideal temperature, or would my engine be that much happier...

I have a friend who has a 97 GS-T Spyder, which is the exact same year and make of my car. He said when he went to the dealership not long ago they replaced some part to do with the steering for free under a recall. I've looked at recall lists and do not remember seeing one on my car. Does...

Bad news :My DSM is gone :cry: Good news :I traded my Eclipse for an mr2 turbo plus cash yesterday. :D No more wwd! I'm sure I will miss some things and not miss others about no longer having the Eclipse. Here is a pic to anybody who wants to see the mr2

My mods can be seen in my profile, but to sum up my fuel upgrades I have : 680cc injectors, walbro 255lph hp fuel pump, aermotive afpr, and an safcII. I typically run anywhere between 18psi for low boost up to 24psi for high boost, what would be the ideal base fuel pressure setting for my setup?

I went to the local 1/8th mile track the other night for the first time since the 50 trim was installed. It was a little damp out, and as I figured traction was a bit of a problem, even feathering the throttle I managed to spin tires through 3rd gear most every run, pulling a best 60 ft time of...

It's getting really irritating having 4th gear popping out all the time so I'm planning on getting my tranny rebuilt by either shep or tre sometime soon. I'm just wondering what kind of turnaround times everybody has experienced with either of these two companies so I can know how long to...

My car has a problem with stalling if i rev above 4 grand or so and push the clutch in, the rpms just drop to nothing and the car stalls. Sometimes it "catches" itself and retains idle. My B&M fuel pressure gauge took a hit and stopped working, and I just installed a new gauge today and I...

I have a Greddy FMIC with full Greddy intercooler piping. The FMIC comes with a skinny LICP to accomodate the T25 turbo, but I have a 50 trim and i would like to use a larger pipe (maybe 2.5"?) so I won't be choking the turbo so bad. Who makes a LICP that is larger in diameter and would bolt...

I was just outside checking my oil levels and what not and noticed that my drivers side motor mount is busted. The rubber is ripped right out. I already have poly inserts on my front and rear mounts, but what is the best thing to do for the side mounts? From what i've read you shouldn't use...

I am running an internally gated 50 trim and I get what seems to be compressor surge sometimes. When I let off the gas at lower boost levels the BOV makes one clean "whistle" noise, but when I am going full throttle and shift I hear a "whistle, cha, cha" kind of noise, almost like a bov sound...

Sometimes when I accelerate quickly then come to a pretty quick stop (such as when coming to a stop sign or stop light), my car will stall out. I am figuring this has something to do with too much or too little fuel since this has only happened since installing all of my fuel and other...

I get a shake in my steering wheel when cruising down the highway, but ONLY between 45-50mph, it isn't a really bad shake, but I can tell it is there. I also get a bad shake through the steering wheel when I hit the brakes at higher speeds (about 70+mph). Back when this first started I thought...

I am looking at getting an external dump o2 housing to go with my PTE 50 trim turbo but i have a question regarding the noise levels with this combo. I know everybody says that external dumps are only loud under full boost when the wastegate is open, but it seems that this would only be true on...

Does anybody sell an oil feed line for the PTE 50 trim turbo that is long enough to reach from the oil filter housing to the turbo? The feed line included with the turbo was only long enough to reach the head, and from what I've read it is best to use the oil filter housing as the feed...

pic of t25 next to 50 trim :eek:

I went to the track last night and I was running 23 psi on pump gas with my 50 trim and it seemed to be happy with it (plenty of timing & safe EGTs). I'm just wondering what kind of boost levels other people are running on both pump gas and race gas with the 50 trim. my mods are in my profile.

I installed my 50 trim the other day and there is no way the stock passenger side fan will fit, so I'm in the market for a slimline of some sort. What brand and type of slimline fans do others run with the PTE 50 trim? I heard spal was a good fan to go with, but what size and type should i...

My mods are in my profile. I just installed my PTE 50 trim yesterday and i'm still trying to fine tune things. I would think with a massive turbo like this I should have to get into some positive fuel trims at some point, but they are staying negative across the board and i am still backfiring...

I did a search and found that a few other people have a problem with 4th gear popping out sometimes. It does this randomly, sometimes I can drive for an hour without it doing this, sometimes it will do it every other time I shift into 4th. It seems almost as if it isn't fully engaging 4th gear...

I received my new 50 trim turbo at the beginning of the week, and I am trying to get everything together that I will need to bolt the turbo up and run at low boost. I requested having a 90 degree elbow welded to the turbo but I guess they forgot to do that before they sent it to me, so I'm left...

I got a few new toys this week including a Greddy Profec B Spec II, Brembo brakes, and last but not least my 50 trim turbo!! Check out a few pics of the turbo below.

Where can i buy the radio installation kits that have an opening for 1/4 DIN sized items such as the turbo timer and boost controller? I know I've seen them but I don't know where to buy them, thanks.

I ordered a 50 trim turbo from extremepsi.com and it says it is bolt on, but i know it will at least take some custom oil and water lines. To anybody that has this turbo on their 2g DSM please let me know what all is needed for installation of this turbo, or if there is a VFAQ or similar...

I ordered a T28 Killer turbo yesterday (thanks to my girlfriend) and it is supposed to be here sometime next week:thumb: I have a few questions regarding this turbo. 1. Considering I am still using the stock fuel system at this point, how many pounds of boost can i safely run until I get my...

I just ordered a Greddy Profec-B Spec-II and I'm trying to think of a clean place to install it where it would still be easy to operate. If anybody has pics of their profec installations please post them to give me some ideas for installation.

I've always used Castrol GTX 10w30 in every car I've owned, and I have yet to have any engine damage. I know that turbo DSMs tend to have low oil pressure, but I noticed something when changing the oil on my sister's 95 GS-T tonight... her oil pressure is much higher than mine at idle. I put...

This is a video clip made with my friend Jame's (Jrou111) video cam with a cordless mic under the hood of the car. I didn't run it too hard because I was still breaking in my ACT2100. Let me know what you think, I should be able to post a couple more if anybody is interested. By the way my BOV...

I just ordered a full set of 4 brembo drilled/slotted rotors & PBR brake pads. The rotors are stock size cuz I can't afford a $1,000 brake set, and I don't autocross or anything, so please don't just start a pointless thread about how I should have bought a big brake set. I'm just looking for...

has anybody else that removed their EGR valve gotten CEL "P0400 - EGR Flow Malfunction"? is there any trick to fool it into not thowing this code? thanks in advance

Sorry, I couldn't resist :laugh:

I changed my leaky oil pan gasket not long ago and it is still leaking. I used red rtv as the gasket and ran a nice continuous bead around the whole pan making a circle around each bolt hole. I think the two mistakes I made were not waiting for the RTV to dry before putting the pan back on...

With the help of a few fellow DSMers we got my ACT2100 installed Tuesday. All I can say is that this thing grabs like crazy!! I almost stalled out when I first started to take off in 1st gear. I haven't had a chance to see how this thing grabs at full throttle yet because I'm babying it and...

To sum it up my rotors are warped like crazy and glazed like a krispy-kreme doughnut. I don't want to pay over $100 to get the stock rotors resurfaced cuz I know I'll just warp them again in no time. Does anybody know of any websites that are having really good sales on rotors, brake pads, and...

My first question is to do with the lower timing belt cover. I was under the car and noticed that a nice chunk of the plastic is ripped off the bottom of the lower timing belt cover, what all do I have to remove to put a new cover on? Do the belts and pulleys have to come off?My second...

I will be ordering a bmtranny lsd soon and I need a link to a site that shows how to install a bmtranny/phantom grip style lsd. I need this to show to the transmission shop. They have quoted about $300 to install a quaife but they don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to this type of...

I've noticed that despite the massive bashing of Hondas on this board, many people have owned, or still own a Honda. Yes my friends, the first step to recovery is admitting you have or had a problem. So here's the poll, how many people have owned, or still own a Honda? I'll be the first to...

I'm planning on getting either the phantom grip or bmtranny lsd. I am already going to be paying close to $350 to install my new ACT2100 and resurface the flywheel. Since the transmission will already be off for clutch installation, how much more should I expect to pay over the $350 I'm...

This isn't really a DSM question, but I'm sure one of you smart people out there have an answer for me. My mom's Infiniti I30 threw a CEL and I hooked up my pocketlogger and it read the code PO1320, but it said no description available. So I looked up that code online and it said it means...

my trunk light doesn't work. I've replaced the bulb, and I can't find a fuse for the trunk light anywhere. I thought it might be linked with the tailights or another fuse, but then the other lights wouldn't be working. Is there a fuse for this somewhere that i've just overlooked?

I'm having some weird symptoms from my car, everything I would normally assume in diagnosing the problems doesn't seem to apply. #1: I feel a vibration when I am braking hard ONLY after driving aggressively. Sure, the first thought is warped rotors, but why does it only vibrate after...

I just ordered an ACT2100 clutch and a steel-braided line from slowboyracing and I was just wondering what experience anybody has had with this combination. I actually LIKE a heavier and firmer feel to the clutch pedal, so will the SS line do a good job of firming up the pedal feel? I'm just...

I'm about to purchase a new clutch as my stock clutch is slipping in 3rd through 5th gears now. I was planning on getting an ACT2100 but I can't seem to find any solid information on it. First of all let me state that I have a FWD and my 1/4 mile goal is to run 12s. I only go to the drag...
