My 99 GSX is now completely stock. Stock cams, stock black box ecu, intake mani, stock exhaust, stock 2g throttle body, etc. I finally put it back together after it sitting for about two years. Prior to it sitting it was running ECMLink ('95 EPROM), 1g throttle body, smim, FP Green, FP2 cams, 3"...

Some of you may have read my thread where I am looking for an affordable pickup truck to pull a full size trailer. Look here:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/413291-smallest-truck-market-full-size-trailer-towing.htmlMy search continues btw.Well now my brother caught the bug and he...

I am looking into buying a pickup truck that I can use to pull a car (most likely the DSM) on a full size (I think that’s what they’re considered) trailer. I’d like a pickup truck because I’ll be doing construction jobs on the side as well. My question for the experienced is, what is the...

I do a good amount of selling of items online (mostly DSM parts on the forums).Since I do not want to get charged the fees if people send the money as "goods", I ask the buyers to send the money as a "gift" which I am POSITIVE that MANY people do.I recently (today) received an email from...

I've been really wanting one more and more the past few weeks. I really think it may just be the nice weather but I'm determined to get my license this year.My background on motorcycles in general:I have never ridden one in my life. LOLI've been looking at some the past few days...

I grabbed the July 2011 issue of Modified Magazine this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see that English Racing had an article in it.The article aims to show that ER is on its way to get the DSM AWD Auto record.SUPER glad to see that DSMs are STILL making the pages of popular...

Ok I hope some of you DSMers are computer smart.Last Sunday I was writing a term paper when my laptop shows me a message that said "can't read Hard Drive data" or something similar and it prompts me to run a Recovery process. I think I had a virus from some software I downloaded two days...

I saw this today and thought it was SIIIIIICK. What year and Model is it?Is this an old school M3? because I see the M badge. :confused:

Through my research I have seen that PTE seems to be the only company that sells a 35R with a bolt on turbine housing.This one:http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=17347&cat=882&page=1I know a local guy who went 9's on a bolt on (stock 2g mani) 35r (not...

I noticed it was happening to my old 97 GST. I bought a newer climate control switch module but never got the chance to replace it since I sold the car.Now with my 99 GSX, I notice that when I turn the heat on (AC button not in the ON position) the AC compressor starts kicking on.I...

So my last post just marked my 1,000th post on this DSM site.To be honest with ya, and not to offend anybody, I feel like you only become a "full-on" member once you have 1,000+ posts.It's just the fact of seeing 4 digits in your avatar, something about it...:thumb:When do I get my...

This is more or less to see where people have been buying their s256 turbos. I've been seeing them for about $1100. I'm looking for an internally gated extended tip s256 with a bolt on DSM turbine housing. Where are guys seeing new s256 turbos for the cheapest price? Thanks for the consumer...

I am browsing both of these turbos. The 68HTA seems to be the most popular (probably because it comes from the infamous Forced Performance). The Blouch 20g seems to have similar technology as the 68HTA and similar specs.I just want to see if people have had luck with the Blouch 20g, and if...

I went to the track this past weekend and tried to use for the first time the "launch control/2 step" feature on DSMLink V3.I noticed that I reved to 4500 RPMs (which is what I had Link set at) and it wouldn't build ANY boost. My boost gauge would go from vacuum to 0 but NO boost. My setup...

My friend was in a small accident last week, a tow truck cracked his bumper. His 2ga Talon bumper and fender got beat up pretty badly. We want to go to the Chrysler dealer and see if they can get him a 2gb 97-98 front bumper (probably not) but they NEED a VIN number off of a 97-98 Talon, doesn't...

I looked over an AUTOMATIC 91 TSi AWD. The car starts up right away but has idle issues, not that it's related to this issue (or is it?).The problem is, you place the car in Drive and the car moves but doesn't pick up speed as any turbo car would. It definitely feels like it's starting off...

Im looking at CAPS and it calls out two different part numbers for the OEM "midpipe" (the long center section) exhaust.95-97: MB90663998-99: MR239406Anybody know if there is enough of a difference to where the OEM stock exhaust midpipe from one part number will not bolt up to a 2g...

I believe I've pretty much made my mind on this but would still like the DSMer opinion.Was taking a right hand turn out of a parking lot and wasn't paying attention when I turned too much and jumped a curve with a sharp corner on it.Here's the damage:Does this merit a...

I read the few threads on here and got mixed answers. I didnt feel comfortable with some of the advice given to others. It took me all morning today to get in touch with Forced Performance. When I got through I ask the technician what size feed line I should use with the DSM FP Green. He says...

I bought a used CX Racing Big 16g turbo for $20 bucks last night. This one:cxracing.com: TD05 BIG 16G Turbo Turbocharger , Works for 90-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse / Galant / Talon 2.0 DOHC 4cyWould there be any benefit on me using the CXR turbine housing on the 14b? I mean, is the Big 16g...

I'm just curious as to who it was and when they FIRST started pondering the idea of bolting up a "Cummins turbo" on a car like ours. :rocks:It can be a HX35, HX40, and all the other variants.

I disassembled the turbo a little while ago and now that Im ready to put it back together I decided that since Im not going to polish it I'd still give it a shine.Comparison between T25 to HX35...:sneaky:Let's get ready for boost!!Head onSMIM onCams onJay Racing...

I've been doing some searching here and there on the forums about this. I just talked to my buddy about this and he told me that since the Prokit only lowers the car about 1.3 inches that the factory suspension system should give enough adjustability to bring my camber back up to good specs...

Ok not much of an update but I still like pics. lolI disassembled the Tial wastegate and bov to verify which springs they had.The MVS wastegate:I ordered it with the 1 bar spring (14.5 psi) and verified that it was. So happy they didnt make a mistake. :pray: Gold spring:Sadly I...

I know where to get a rebuild kit (a recognized ebay vendor) but im wondering where I can buy a 14b compressor wheel. What about the turbine wheel? Ive emailed Gpopshop and a few other vendors but thought I'd ask on here just in case.I know some of you may think it isn't worth it to rebuild...

Alright well I took a few pics of the new additions to the parts pile. I believe you guys already know that I chose to run the HX35 so some of these are aimed towards the Holset.I bought a set of wrenches so my cool new AN fittings won't get TOO beat up while tightening:Supertech Std Size...

I think it sounds very nice.YouTube - gsx eclipse vr4 swapSure, you are correct, I am a ricer blah blah blah.Anybody know which one it is? I cant make out the body to try to guess.Thanks.

This may be the randomnest question Ive ever asked on here but Im looking for the C-clip that is used for the B&M shifter. It is circled in red below.Anybody know where I can get one? I need it asap. Thank you.

This is the setup I'll be running in the coming couple of months. The turbo will have the BEP .55 A/R housing and the cams will be a straight drop in with stock gears. The sheet metal intake manifold will be a Street Magnus with a 1g throttle body. The engine will be a stock bottom end 7 bolt...

I figured this may help some people out there. Enjoy.

Looks like these guys are starting to see the need not only in the DSM world but others as well. This will help guys who dont have the ability to run vented but want the perf. of the Tial. :hellyeah:It still has 50mm inlet but the outlet looks smaller. I wonder if this will affect the...

I know some cams like Delta put their own hand scribed markings.I also know that Comp and FP cams are the same thing.Is there ANY way to know if these cams are legit just by looking at them?Thanks

Just noticed it on my car and it's also LSD.

So my 2g GSX 7 bolt will be equipped with the FP Green as well as ALL supporting mods. It will be running 22 lbs of boost.As much as I'd like to say it will it will probably rarely see launches as it is a daily and I don't launch now.What I'm asking is do you recommend NEW all around OEM...
