I have a twin scroll set up with 20lb springs in 2 tial wastegates that are recirculating back into the exhaust controlled by a Hallman mbc. But I am building 30+ psi with the mbc back all the way out. Mbc was cleaned and checked, wastegates are authentic and new. Wastegates lines are ran...

I went through a touchless carwash, and while pulling out of the wash bay my car died. The car turns over normally and will even backfire and sputter if the gas pedal is to the floor. I am assuming it is something stupid; probably related to the fuse box relocated under the passenger fender...

Is the 1g throttle stop nessesary while running a 1g tb in a 2g car?

Installing a dash that I did not remove, and I can't figure out where this single green/red stripped wire goes. 99 2g.

I needed a steel bov flange, but could only find aluminum so I had one made during lunch. Maybe this will help someone.

I'm no longer running water to my turbo, and want to plug the two water line feeds on the turbo water pipe. Besides looping with a rubber line how are people plugging this.

I am trying to use the factory 5 bolt holset exhaust plate from a 12cm^2 housing, but have not been able to find the correct vband style that would mate up to a custom down pipe for a correct seal.Searching I've come across answers using the terms "rolled" flange and "thick" style. Can anyone...

My set up is a 6 bolt bottom end with a 7 bolt head with a 1g black top cas. The ecu is a 95 Eprom ecu. I have the adapter harness that allows 2gb to run the 1g cas.I am wondering if there are any differences between years of the 2g engine harness because I need to buy a harness But unsure of...

Can anyone give me a measurement in relation to clearance height between an exhaust manifold and 2g hood. Thanks.

I am trying to find what is the overall thickness of a 16cm^2 exhaust housing is in order to get an idea of clearance I need to hang it off a custom manifold. I have a 12cm^2 internally gated housing and have it about 3/4" off the block and water pipe.Anyone care to measure a housing for me?

Out of curiosity I have been searching to find a concrete answer or example why turbos ca be ran in twin scroll on say a factory hx35 truck, but will not properly work on a dsm that ran same set up. What would boost control be like?I know nobody does it, I am just left wondering who has done...

Can anyone tell me where the black cable coming off the center hvac box connects to behind the center console? I have the other 3 white lines from the heater knows figured out, which all connect to the white plastic bracket.

Bought a turbo 2g roller, and I removed the dash to take care of some things I knew going into the project. This car had no power steering, no a/c, and a semi wire tuck; I noticed some wires that had been cut and no longer running back into the main harness.ECU pin #5 ISC motor coil (B1), Pins...

I recently switched to a larger radiator, and due to fitment I must hack up the factory shroud, or try to wire in another size fan. For now I would like to try to install one of those taurus fans many people do as a cheaper route.Only issue I have is understanding what needs to be changed on...

Switched over to speed density years ago and when I do run an intake pipe, I always zip-tie whatever to cover the old recirculation tube. Is there a clean solution to plug the tube with, like a giant vac plug? Show me what you got.

I would imagine most of the weight on the awd 2g is in the nose. And I do not have every suspension mod there is, but I would like to maximize my potential with what I have, and was wondering when you generally set up a dsm to handle better, how soft do you set the coilovers? And can you go too...

I am boiling power steering fluid, and loosing fluid while autox because the fluid is getting too hot. I run a fp manifold, so I was wondering what people are doing to block the heat. I was thinking of building a shield off the power steering pump mount and sticking isolation on the inside of...

There was a local club hosting a autox at the airport and I decided why not see what I could do. I hit lots of cones :sneaky: And dropped my times from 41 seconds to 37.35 clean. Best time was 36 DNF with 2 cones I moved the bases, and sometimes as long as it is in the chalk mark at all it is...

My clutch petal slowly falls to the floor above 3k and will hit the floor just about until I let off. It then comes back up when I come off the throttle. At idle the pressure is fine. OEM throw out bearing and fork are 5k old installed at tre. Car not running there is no problem, and the petal...

Started the car, let it warm up. Cruised in VAC. The car hit like 5psi and hit a wall where it would not build any more boost and then started running on only 2 cylinder( number 2&3) I am guessing the coil pack took a dive. Just weird how it did this when it just started fine and was running...

I am running a NOS fuel solenoid and with 39 psi base fuel pressure and 34 psi that would put the pressure at the solenoid in the 79psi range. I believe after destroying a Zex and now this NOS one I am really thinking it is the fuel pressure that is behind my problems. At first the NOS...

Went to the track today with a nitrous tune, but the solenoid is somehow not working, so I was stuck running 11 degrees of peak timing on boost only. I ran an 11.5 at 124. And I am mad about it haha I mean yeah that is a good time for a street car, but I know what it should of done. next...

At what point would a stock coil pack and ngk wires not be able to keep up?I am having some break up issues that come and go. Some pulls are clean while others it breaks up then clears up. Tried leaning the car out, and nothing would solve the problem. Replaced the wires,plugs, and coil...

Is there such a thing as injector repair/rebuild? It is a holiday weekend so I am unable to call around.A set of injectors I plan on running has a dead one in the bunch. I can not get it to pulse with a 6v test. It is just a bosch 1600cc. But I am unable to find the same injector color/tip...

Last night I was really getting things done on the car, mounts were all in and the engine bay was looking like a engine bay. Timed the car and put my covers and pulleys. noticed the arm for the alternator tensioner was loose at the water pump.Snugged it up and a quarter turn, and my ratchet...

Was gaping my rings tonight, went 19 and 22, but the 2nd ring came gaped right at 22! out the box. Also one ring was tweaked and had a crack in the center of it. I am going to call wiseco tomorrow and the vendor I bought them from to see what I can do.Anyone else get rings gaped this big...

Stock bore is 3.3464. My wiseco piston mics at 3.3430. Giving me a piston to wall clearance of 0.0034. I am shooting for a PTW clearance of .0045. Would I be able to remove a thousandth with a simple engine hone kit from the parts store? And what grit would you use to remove the material? I can...

Read this and really had me scratching my head. Has anyone else noticed wiseco pistons be be out of spec to the set like Jake is describing?http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1881084&postcount=438

Need some ross pistons or whatever you got for a 6 bolt. Chitowndsm is down so I am posting here. Let me know what you got

I am bringing my head to the show with half the valves already out,maybe all of them if I an muster up some elbow grease and get the bent ones out. I called around locally and was told 200+ to install valves,guides, and springs.If you have the tool, I don't see why it is so expensive to put...

I was given a dual external oil cooler set up off a 911 track car, and these lines are -10!!! they are monsters. Each cooler is the size of our stock side mount intercoolers. Would I need to add oil since the cooler is so big, I bet it holds a quart of oil easy, the core is 14x8x2 or close to...

Today I just had it, went to go start he car and my own father parted my car out. I just need to vent to some form of people and I am just sitting here stewing over it. 2 rims and tires gone, along with my radio and the lower dish and side brackets. Broke the dash all to hell to get it out. Head...

Going with a 2g head since I got it for free. Just don't have my stock manifold anymore and was wondering if the street version JMF manifold would support 55lbs/min above 6k unlike the stocker. I am sure with the smaller pendulum the off boost and part throttle would be decent, but Not as good...

So I came across a decent deal, hallman pro boost controller and a 2g head for 25 bucks. I needed a real mbc so the head was a bonus.But the 2g head is bare, so other than one exhaust stud broken I thought not bad.But the caps were off and they are different styles. I think 1g caps are...

Everytime I take my turbo off, the turbo bolt threads are junk, left in the housing threads still, and this time one snapped in the hole. This only happens with this stupid BEP housing. The t25 and 14b never did this. I goop on copper anti seize and never reuse STOCK mitsu turbo bolts, and use...

Well, only 6 more weeks till Spring, and its finally getting warm enough to want to sit out in the unheated garage. And I have been reading and reading and I this is what I've come up with. My current mods are up to date in profile, and the only change from mods to 1/4 mile time was addition of...

Well this winter I will be doing a mild build on the head while it's off. Most likely a spring upgrade with a 3 angle port job. After going to my 6 bolt swap with a 1g head, I think I want to go back to a 2g head looking at the design of the intake angle. From my understanding the 2g head ported...

My homemade mbc kinda spikes and is hard setting boost above 28psi. Anyone know of a proven mbc that will hold all the boost I want to throw at it?

Have been running 28-30psi and seeing 42lbs/min. turbo will flow 52 in BEP housing, how much more psi am I looking at to hit the max. Just wondering because I am getting ready to buy fuel and my 1000s are maxed.

Looking to buy some new tires, and before I buy a new set I was wondering for a summer tire, what would get me more traction the 17 or 16 inch rim. I currently have the 2gb tsi 17s. I know for drag radials most of my friends run the 16s because you can squeeze more tire on the gst rims.Just...

Long story short, me and a friend decided to drop fp2 cams into the car, bled the lifters and drop the cams in, set timing, and after 3 hours we feel good about ourselves. I put about twenty miles on the car and at 55mph(2500rpms) the car feels like it ran out of gas. I quickly shut her down and...

Two weeks ago I decided to finally figure out what the old dsm will do. best was a 11.9 at 122 witha 1.8 60' foot. I did have 1.7 60' foots on slower passes but traction was my issue. Lastnight I did some test launches and the car butt hopped, spinning to the left and ripped through first after...

Went to the track last weekend and even on my best run I still spun with all four tires at 25psi. I was just wondering how low you can go. Or maybe run outside of the groves, I heard that street tires spin more on vht because I do not heat the tires up and vht is very smooth once it's layed down.

When to the track with the old holset and had some fun. First run I spun through 1st and 2nd and netted a 16.8 haha. Then I lowered my street tire pressure to 25 and ran a 12.9, then 12.1 at 118. Still spinning! So finally the did some prep and I managed a 11.96 at 122.4. witha 1.8 60 foot...

My autometer gauge reads 60 psi at a cold start up with 20w-50. At full oil temp it idles at 24psi. At any partial load the car sees about 58-62psi from 1500rpms to 7500rpms. WOT sees about 68 to 70 psi from 1500rpms to 7500rpms.Now in my -4 ss feed line is a .078 restrictor, which I was...

If oil is pushed through the turbo seal and smokes, will that seal stilll be usuable and with proper oiling reseat and hold pressure or is it instantly damaged?

Well I previously fed my holset with a ss of the head, and it lasted about 5k. Smoked bad and picked up another one. Put a .078 restrictor and fed it from the OFH and lasted 2 weeks. At cold start up no smoke, but at idle after say 20 minutes I will get a single big white cloud or a faint mist...

How do you guys running a compressor cover with a v band get the coupler to stay on without leaking. The outlet after the flange necks back down. At the flange it is 3 inches, so would a 3 to 2.5 90 degree coupler do the trick as long as I used a T bolt clamp?

Well I got the car running and was noticing some blue smoke coming from the exhaust when I let off. So I thought, great. It is not the steam seals, those are less thana year old and yeah.Well it finally progressed to just a freaking smoke show at idle and smoke coming from the turbo...
