I'd like to start by saying I took a break from DSM's for a few years but had the itch again so ended up picking up my 91 TSI AWD about 2 years ago. I bought it stock with 215k miles on it from a 70+ year old man. I did just about everything new on the car. Timing belt, pulleys, BS belt...
Are the torque specs the same for an ACT lightened flywheel as they are for the factory AWD flywheel bolts? I know factory specs are 94-101ftlbs. Wasnt sure if it was any less or more.
Hey guys been a while since ive been on the forums aside from searching. Right now i am about to do the clutch in my mostly stock 220k miles 91 awd (3" TBE, K&N, fmic/ greddy rs). I am doing a stock clutch/flywheel. I was wondering if it would be fine to use something like pennzoil synchromesh...
So, i'm having an issue with my car not starting. Took a look around under the dash and saw this plug hanging next to the fuses/relay. Can anyone tell me what it might be?
Thanks, my understanding is that with a bad coolant temp sensor the car will try to turn over but just not start, or it will start and run like dirt. I'll take it into consideration though. I already bought a new starter so I might as well replace it. If it turns out it is the coolant temp...
So yesterday I took my car out and ran some arrands, came out of the store and it wouldn't start, turned the key and got nothing, didnt try to turn over or anything, just completely dead. Interior lights worked, pop up lights worked, fog lights worked though. I messed around with the battery...
I'll check those, I think I may have worded my last post wrong, Not so much as in hit a wall like the car jolts when hit a fuel cut but more so the car just can't get out of its own way. Like it just starts creeping past 4k/4,500 RPMS like there is a governer on it or something:ohdamn: It doesnt...
Just picked up a 91 TSi AWD after being out of the DSM game for about 5 years or so. Car is bone stock 5spd, all original with 212k miles. Only thing I did was today changed the oil, put a K&N filter on (removed stock canister) and changed the PCV valve.
When driving the car the car pulls good...
I had a '90 GSX, Red with black leather interior and a sunroof. I also had a Monarch Green Pearl 2gb GSX A/T, Grey leather with Black dash. I haven't seen many of those around.
Ive searched but just found this on a 1g. But has anyone ever seen this on a 2g? Not coming out the front bumper though, like angled out the side just behind the driver door. Im thinking of having one custom made for both performance and visual reasons, just because ive never seen it on a 2g i...
Well first, the other day while driving I noticed my oil light flickering. I thought it may just be a bad connection because the clip fell off the sender unit a few times before and brought my oil pressure to 0 on the stock gauge. I check the oil and there is nothing on the dip stick, I just...

Injen uses a 5" adapter with there intakes. I needed a new filter and the only place I could find one was from K&N. Go on there site and get the part number and take it to your local Autozone or whatnot and have them order it for you.Better yet, here is the part number. RU-5147
Tell me about it, I just bought this car 2 weeks ago and already put a transfer case on it. While driving it home it mysteriously shredded on the highway.Just checked the plugs, they looked ok. Pulled off the LICP and there was no blow-by. Crawled around under the car with a light and didn't...
Thats exactly what i'm thinking. I know the return line at the pan is leaking a little (after driving I look under the car and see a few drips come out) I just ordered a new gasket so once it gets here Friday from ExtremePSI I will be able to tell.
Well I just changed the oil last week when I got the transfer case on, 4 1/2 QT's of Castrol 20w-50 and a Fram filter. I noticed the past few days the oil light has been flickering off and on but thought nothing of it because the wire on the oil sender kept falling off last week. Today I check...
Well I just put a new transfer case on today after pulling my other one off and finding it to be destroyed, took the car for a spin and it drove fine. I brought it home and went to back it in the garage to check the brakes out and while in reverse after like 2 feet the wheels locked. I took the...
Is there any break in period for a new turbo like a new car or anything like that? Just wondering cause i'll have my new turbo on within the next 2 weeks hopefully. thanks
I have an ebay shifter box im finally installing, however it has different wires. Red and black are obvious, then it has 2 white and 2 green. One of each color have "primary" labeled on it. How do i go about wiring it in?
Alright, now i just had my trans rebuilt with a IPT overhaul kit. Got the car running today after 4 months of waiting and the transmission does the same thing it did before. Once i first start it up i will have 1st and 2nd gear but then once i drive for a few minutes i only have 2nd gear and it...
November 05' I bought a 00 subaru impreza 2.5rs then realized I shouldve gotten a WRX because i wanted awd+turbo. After looking at all the WRX's around they were way overpriced. I stumbled upon a 1998 GSX in December 05', had 70k on it (bone stock) and was owned by an older couple (50's, early...
We did a boost leak test on the car a few days ago and found 2, one from the elbow/coupler going to the fmic and one from the bov flange, nothing else that we could hear.
