  1. Does better Oil increase horsepower and throttle response?

    Royal Purple also makes synthetic ATF. As far as the OP question goes: Yes, better quality oil has been proven to show better numbers on a dyno. It does not; however, create horsepower, it only frees up horsepower the engine is already making. You will also not be able to feel the difference...
  2. Indy 500 or bust!!!!!!!

    I've been to one and honestly didn't enjoy it that much. The sound was amazing but I really think that track has a retarded setup for watching races. It reminds of the time I went to Sebring because of how limited my view of the racing was. The only cool thing was that our seats were front...
  3. Joined the darkside

    I think you're missing a few parts. :P lolI've always loved the way those cars looked just never wanted to put up with working on one after helping a buddy fix a blown hg.
  4. Dyno'd my 20g

    Dang, that sucks. I'm hoping the Orlando area places are still selling it because when I finish my build its going to be an e85 car.
  5. different motor swappin'

    It is a PITA but in the end it is so worth it. Most rwd conversions go with an automatic and live axle for ease but having that 6 speed with independent rear suspension is nice.
  6. different motor swappin'

    You'd come out cheaper doing that than you would any other option.Trans/diff combo=$2150 Engine=any LS engine will work you just need the bellhousing for the C-5 which is around $100. Figure $400 for a complete 5.3 computer and all.Frontend= figure around $400 here.You are looking...
  7. different motor swappin'

    Hell, why not find a junked out c 5 vette and swap the engine and transaxle into your 2g. You wouldn't have to cut to much of a tunnel since it's a transaxle and you already have a tunnel for the drive shaft built into the car. Fab up mounts to run a mustang 2 front end as well as motor mounts...
  8. Dyno'd my 20g

    According to this link there are two stations inside the 295 loop and another three or four outside of it. Not sure where you are located but unless you are staying at Mayport they shouldn't be that far away from you.
  9. Does Muffler type matter if you are running an open cutout?

    The only things that effect exhaust performance are diameter of the pipe, shape of the pipe, angle of the bends, and the design of the muffler (though this is a highly contested variable). As long as you are not adding a bend, or changing the oipe in anyway, before the cut out then anything...
  10. Where can I have fuel pumps tested?

    This is the way we used to do it. I'll ask my friend what the formula was (of course it is probably online somewhere) and post it up if the OP needs it but pretty much measure the flow into a container. You really do nit even have to measure the tine it takes to fill something, you could also...
  11. Dsm on top gear

    FinalGeardotcom is your friend buddy.It was definitely an AWD because when they got passed by the buggies and restarted you could see the rear tires spin.
  12. Sebring DSM Drivetrain Swap

    Probably as hard as putting a 4g into a 3k/S as they are pretty much the same V6.
  13. need horsepower from nt

    Ported and polished Hyundai Sonata head on an an old school g4cs short block, a good set of cams, and then do all of the stuff the 8cyl guys do (ie: balance and blueprint everything, lighten everything that moves in the engine, etc...) It will run you more than $1000 to do all of that but you...
  14. Fiber Glass Enclosures with a light weight twist

    What you're failing to realize is that enclosure in glass will weigh as much or more as one made of mdf. If you want to go lightweight, you will need to make the enclosure out of 1/2" acrylic and that is very expensive. To do it out of acrylic you're looking at least $500 in acrylic alone.
  15. Question about Plug Wires

    Did you disconnect the battery at any time while you were changing the plug wires? If so, iirc, then dsmlink will revert to it's factory tune (the one that was burned into at ECMtuning) and you have to upload the tune you hopefully have saved on your computer. The bad running could have been a...
  16. Excessive Shit Knob Movement

    Nice Freudian slip in the thread title as well, you might want to correct that.
  17. New Electric Hydraulic Power Steering Pump (EHPS)

    Not sure how this install is going but this website has several listed for around $140 just pay attention before ordering because sometimes it lists the 5.7 one instead.Cheap 2011#Jeep Grand Cherokee Power Steering Pump For Sale - Free Shipping! Freaking crappy internet causing a double post.
  18. The OFFICIAL "What did you find at the Junkyard today" thread.

    Well the Japanese and Germans were Allies during WWII, maybe that was what they were going after.:lol:
  19. Sebring DSM Drivetrain Swap

    Wow, blast from the past here. The 420a sits in the engine bay reverse to the 4g and as far as I have found, only 2 people attempted the swap so far. One tried using a 2g 4g63t and gave up rather quickly judging by how fast his thread died. The other guy attempted to use the 4g out of an Evo...
  20. To keep or not to keep the dsm...

    You're a broke college student, why don't you take advantage of your financial aid, get your car fixed, and buy a scooter. You live in the desert so it's not like you have to be concerned with weather on the scooter and it will get you much better economy than anything out there. Hondas are...
  21. The OFFICIAL "What did you find at the Junkyard today" thread.

    :confused:But yes, I know there are several threads that the term junkyard comes up in but I was trying to keep a separate thread that is also easily searched where someone can post the really oddball things they find in a junkyard.
  22. 1075awhp 3000gt ATX

    To me. that usually translates to I'm slower than a scooter when I hear someone say it.Sadly enough for Black Mount, it is actually a true translation.ROFLJog vs. Ruckus Scooter 1/4 mile Drag Race - YouTubeListen for the times at the end.
  23. The OFFICIAL "What did you find at the Junkyard today" thread.

    So I guess I'll start this off by saying my heart was officially broken today. There was a mostly straight, with only moderate surface rust 1965 Mustang.:cry:Why would you junk out that car? I mean this place only gives you a max of $800 per car and that mustang could easily have sold for a...
  24. 4G seats in a 1G

    People still have their back seats in their cars? That sadistic to even offer someone a ride back there.
  25. Oem seats from other cars

    I'm in a larger metro area (Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, Jacksonville, etc... are with in 1:30 hr drive depending on which way I go I'm only 25 minutes away from 4 different self serve salvage yards so I am lucky in that sense. I'm unlucky in the sense that I work full time so I can only go on the...
  26. Oem seats from other cars

    I've had pretty good luck with seats but I have also found some crappy ones too. There is a set of these that I am going to pick up to sell this weekend.They are perfect condition and I had thought about using them in my project until I found the RSX seats. The entire set of S40 seats are...
  27. Oem seats from other cars

    After looking at some of the prices for seats on Ebay, I think I'm going to start selling seats I get from the local pull and pay. I just grabbed a set of RSX seats for my upcoming resto mod on my 1g for $50 and they are mint.
  28. Putting a Honda intake manifold onto a 4g63t.

    How were you operating the butterflies on the Cyclone Intake?
  29. 2g maf in 1g after bov?

    I'm confused, are you wanting to go from turbo to NA or use the 2g MAF in a blow through configuration? If you are wanting to use it as a blow through then the answer is no, it will not work like that. You can get a translator that will run the 3" GM maf in any configuration you want. Do a...
  30. 1G Fuel pump hangers

    Well darn, that doesn't work for me as that's what is bad on my unit.:banghead: Oh well I guess that means a universal sending unit and some sand blasting.
  31. 1G Fuel pump hangers

    Sorry if I missed it in this thread, but what fuel sending unit/float are you using on this setup. My Assembly is rusted like crazy and has a bad sending unit so I was thinking this would be a good option to solve those problems at one fell swoop.
  32. Is this cam journal toast?

    It's going to get a full port and polish as well as oversized valves, I just wanted to make sure it was worth spending the money on this head. Thanks for the help.
  33. High HP Street/Strip 91 Eclipse GSX

    I'm going to be doing one of these in the upcoming months as well, good job.
  34. suggestions for reaching 20psi

    What are your goals with this car other than running 20psi? Do you have a HP number you want to eventually reach because boost is just a pointless number on a gauge. It tells you how much pressure the air inside the system is at, it does not tell you how much air is inside the system...
  35. Compressor surge bad BOV?

    1) Correct, that will only give you the ability to log whats going with the engine. To tune it you will need some type of SAFC, Programmable Eprom, Standalone, etc... AEM has a new device out (well it's been out for a few years but it's still new when compared to most of the other options)...
  36. suggestions for reaching 20psi

    There are guys running over 30 psi on composite head gaskets on turbos a lot bigger than the 14b with no problem at all. If you do not have a leaky hg and your compression is good, spend your money on fuel management and tuning. 18-20 psi with a good tune should be ok with the 14b with your...
  37. Is This Exhaust Setup Alright?

    They both put the power to the ground and 5 speeds actually have little less power loss but auto's with a good kit and stall can launch a lot harder than any manual car out there. 5 speeds are still more fun to drive 99.99% of the time though.;)
  38. Compressor surge bad BOV?

    For all of the people saying that he needs to recirc, please stop. His problem is not vented MAF because he is using a translator and has the MAF behind the BOV. The stalling is probably not a vacuum leak either as they tend to cause a higher than normal idle meaning the car won't stall off...
  39. suggestions for reaching 20psi

    The engine in question, I am assuming based on his mod list, is a 4g63 N/T out of a 1g. All of the things you are suggesting for him to do are serious overkill for that engine. With stock pistons/compression ratio out of a turbo motor, he will have no problem handling 20psi from a 16g (his...
  40. Is this cam journal toast?

    Thanks for the help, I think I'll have the machine shop go over the journal when they resurface it just to be sure.
  41. Is this cam journal toast?

    You can feel the nick but it doesn't feel in sharper than the other edges on the cam journal. I'm mostly concerned about the fact that the journal's surface area is now smaller than the nick because that can be smoothed out without really changing the ID of the journal area.The other areas...
  42. Which Turbo Should I Get [merged] What Turbo

    Other than the fact the turbocharger is telling you it's a turbocharger, I don't see anything of real concern. A quick Google Search revealed a lot of threads and reviews of why you should avoid an Ebay turbo. I do not see any mods in your mod list so not knowing what you currently have on the...
  43. suggestions for reaching 20psi

    My suggestion would be to stick with OEM composite HG, it's cheaper and more than reliable enough for 20 psi. The money you will save in machining cost and the head gasket should be enough to get you a set of larger injectors which would be more beneficial to you than a MLS head gasket on an...
  44. Is this cam journal toast?

    Ok so I searched and this is the only thread I found that somewhat addressed my question; unfortunately, it did not answer my question and felt that resurrecting a 7+ year old thread would not resolve my issue either.Now for my problem, I just decided to re-start a DSM project that I put...
  45. Acrylic Spark Plug Cover

    Wow, I want a CAD program so bad lol.
  46. subs amps door speakers wiring questions

    Personally I don't think you need 0ga from the block to the amp and you certainly don't 200 amp fuses from the block to the amps either. There are two fuses on the side of the amp, combine the size of the fuses and that is the max size you want to run at the block. (IE: 2x30amp =60 amp fuse at...
  47. subs amps door speakers wiring questions

    This, except for the extra grounds because there's no need for extra grounds. Run the ground wires from the amps to a distribution block and then ground the block. If you ground in multiple places you WILL get feedback.Looks like a good plan but if you are seriously going to run 3 amps, I...
  48. Alpine 1243D subwoofer making no sound. No ohm reading.

    Sub is most definitely dead. If there is any warranty on it I would send it in, other wise you have a good looking paper weight. Another question is how did you have the speaker wired? If you ran it in series your amp was seeing 8ohms of resistance and that combined with the low power of the...
  49. 3g upper/lower control arms??

    So can someone confirm that the front suspension for a 3g/Evo is the same as a 1g. That would be sweet if true but I can't find any information confirming this.
  50. went from 7 psi-13ish psi boost

    7 is a little low for a stock 1g but unless you have messed the the BCS or put some kind of aftermarket boost controller on the car you should be around 10psi iirc. Remove the restrictor in the BCS and you can get another 1-2 psi of boost. As was already mentioned in this thread I wouldn't...
