Low 12s should be fairly simple. The difficult part of maintaining the AC is lack of space for an external wastegate without hitting the fan. So if you are looking at turbo and manifolds just keep in mind the location of the wastegate. An internally gated FP Red or Black should hit low 12s and...

Ripping out the short block and trans. Car came with a blown 7 bolt with Evo X pistons.Anybody want some paperweights?
Starting a build thread for my 95 TSI Auto. Bought this car over a year ago from a guy in WV with the intent to build some sort of drag/little street machine. My only real goal for this build is to make a 10 second (Probably want faster) car that can cruise the street occasionally.This build...
Here is a press release from Ti Automotive, which is the name on all of the 450 pumps I've seen on eBay. No sure if they are keeping the high quality though. I was looking at them a month back and wondering the same thing.
Congrats on the 9 second mark, you definitely deserve it. Kinda pissed I didn't get to record it but I'm just glad I was able to witness it. Glad she lived through the weekend to die another day.
I am nowhere near a pro at link and don't really have many people around to get some advice. I took the car to the 1/8th mile drag tonight and it just didn't feel like it should with my supporting mods. Felt like it was hitting a wall around 5-6k rpm.From the looks of the log the afrs look...
No I never asked them how long shipping would take.I never meant for this thread to be a price battle but I can see where J_Heath is coming from. The reason I started this thread was to inform those who had no idea there was a group buy that the FAL molded glass was now available on their...
Just wanted to pass on some information, I'm not sure if I'm late to the party but I din't see anything.Out of curiosity and recent interest in purchasing a carbon fiber hatch, I emailed Flexalite about availability for a 2G rear molded glass. I received a response from David at Flexalite...
I'm in the process of repairing a cf hood that was given to me free of charge. Has a lot of the same issues that you have and more. Previous owner had some holes drilled for both aerocatch pins and old style hood pins. Also has a nice chunk missing in the front of the hood.Since I didn't have...
I retract my previous statement, Nico is correct. Make sure you tell them you need to talk to group event customer service and tell them its for "Buschur Racing." Thanks Nico
I have a set. I've never seen a 272 cam keep stock vacuum out of the box. I've been running mine for 3 years now with no issues. Has a great powerband, pulls way past redline on my Green running 27psi. Can't complain for the price and I provided proof from an actual test done by a member.
OEM parts are built to spec for vehicles and have hundreds of thousands of miles to prove they have the credentials to last. These eBay parts do not have the R&D put into their parts to trust. These cars will treat you good if you perform maintenance with proven parts. If you want the...
This is the reason for our ever dwindling community. These price of these cars are cheap enough these days to get into the hands of people who do not value a supported community or honest vendors. All they want to do is have a decently fast car to show off to their buddies who drive Acuras and...
For starters you caliper shouldn't be loose what-so-ever. I can hear a slight clicking but that video is terrible all you can hear is wind. I had a similar issue and it ended up being a warped rotor. Although I didn't have any vibration in the brake pedal. I would take a straight edge to the...
Thanks for the thorough response Gamble. Good to hear from someone who also started at the very bottom. I've seen the HF welder before but wondered if it was worth it. For some reason I never get pulled to an inexpensive hobby :D So I'm willing to put a little money into the tools to do the job...
That's very informative, I was thinking that best way to learn would be to practice of course. I would like to get a welder and try hands on a bit then learn about more about metals and settings after I have some practice.I've been looking into Hobart's 500500 Handler 140 as a nice starting...
After watching this forum for some time I have caught the desire to get into basic fabrication work. Only problem with that, I have little to no knowledge of welding.I wanted to get some advice on learning the basics to welding. I would love to have the option to take classes but I work 8-5...
I'm still getting the hang of SD, so I wasn't sure if the DA tables were needed to be updated with target AFR. I'm using your LinkTools for VE corrections. Do you have any plans to include a DA table scaling option in there, or am I just looking over it?BTW, you need to get some sleep. LOL
I did a quick change of injectors today, then setup combinedft and airflowperrev. I made a quick 3rd gear pull and noticed AFRatioEst was flat at 9.5. Wideband is reading fairly accurate, I know there is some knock to work on. What could be causing this drastic change? Running v3 SD. Thanks for...
Thanks for all of the hard work on LinkTools! I'm not too sure what else you could add, but I would like to see a few more instructive videos editing idle, cruise, and WOT logs and what you look for in the data.
I have another daily so it doesn't get driven everyday. Nope it's not me, I don't play paintball.Let me know when you get the GSX, I work at VT so I'm over there everyday.
Just take care of it and don't cut corners on parts. These cars are getting older and of course things will break, just make sure when things do break use proven parts. If you aren't constantly hard on the car every time you pull away from a stop light, it will last a lot longer than you expect...
Not sure how you missed the OP.If you have the opportunity to take it to a machine shop, I'm sure somebody could fix the weld for you and would be considerably less than a new manifold if you cannot upgrade. If the turbo is as bad as you are describing it is only a matter of time before it...
No, it does matter where you put it. Usually the manufacturer will specify where to mount it from the turbo. I installed mine right after the dp bend, I have heard mixed reviews about installing it in the o2 housing. There is a greater chance of sensor failure and misreadings right out of the o2...
