Well today I received a phone call from a Canadian diamond company called Diavik. They have a huge diamond mine up in the northwest territory, and was interested in my application. I did not apply to this company, I just filled out the Union Workers app last year and they must have pulled it and...

Well this morning my SAFC showed up via UPS and I decided to install it before I go into work later this afternoon. I did not tap anything, I soldered every connection, and I followed the wiring diagram like a church boy reading the Bible. I checked, and double checked the wiring, and everything...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250153872961&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015 I need a new downpipe as the flex section is worn out and is starting to get really loud. I was looking at a few, and this one seems to be reasonable, but before I buy, will this bolt...

I have a chance to buy a set of 550cc high independence injectors from an RX-7 really cheap. Now, I really don't know if we have high or low ind. injectors, and I tried searching but all that came up was "What size should I go with" or "Need help tuning ***cc injectors". Can anyone help me out?

Now I know this has been talked about severly and :beatentodeath: , but I can't find any reasonable answers. Ever since I swapped my 14B turbo in my gas milage has dropped below 20mpg. There is one very small boost leak around my BISS screw, but nothing to drastically drop my pressure. Boost is...

My friend and I were talking and he said that since I bought the car and knew zero history on the car to check the ignition timing to see if it was off. Now I don't have any problem with power or starting the car, he was just simply stating that I should, and of course we were bored. Anyways the...

Finally got my O2 sensor and installed it today. Raised the boost up to 15psi on the 14B and took a few logs. This is the first one, not too much different than the second one. Ambient air temp was 74 and logged in 3rd gear. Take a look and tell me what you think, this is all stock fuel system.

Hey all I just recently bought a pocketlogger with their software and started logging my car. The problem I'm having is it only logs for a few seconds then quits. I managed to do this log, but it was a 2-3-4 shift. Attached below is the log, and my fuel trims and O2 reading are all messed up...

So lately my laptop has been running quite slow, but according to the task manager, I'm only running 687MB ram (have 1gig ram) 1.86ghz processer running at 67%, yet it is running deathly slow. I ran a spyware test and virus scan (McAfee) and showed up nothing. I think my virus software is junk...

I recently bought a pocketlogger from a member here but I am waiting for the hotsync cable to come in, so I took the OBDII cable from that and used it on my Palm IIIx and downloaded OBDGauge. Now, when I hook it up to the OBD port, turn on the Palm and run the program, it does not connect with...

Today I finished up my intercooler plumbing and tried doing a boost leak. I had to crank up the compressor to 40psi before it would registure 10psi on my boost gauge. I found 2 leaks, one at the idle screw (o ring, fixed that one) and massive one coming from my boost controller. It is leaking...

So I'm starting the swap on my 2G, and I have read the article on VFAQ http://www.vfaq.com./mods/2G-16G.html and still left a bit confused. I have everything from my 1G 6 bolt block, from the oil lines to the water lines and factory J-pipe and intercooler pipe. I'm wondering what lines to use...

This is not the ordinary swaybar or control arm bushing question. I've been searching on here and on CAPS for the last hour and came up empty handed. The bushing I need is located on the upper rear control arm, but its not the mounting bushing, its the one at the end that connects to the wheel...

Last night on my 80 mile trip back home I noticed that my dash lights were flickering with every second. Like they would be bright for 1 sec, then dim for 1 sec, and repeated itself until I shut the car off. Also I noticed that 2 lights were on simultaneously and would flicker on and off, but...

I'm about ready to prime/paint my 95, and starting masking off the windows, but going around the trim is a pain. Is there any way I can remove the trim on the outside, or is it integrated with the window seal itself? Any tips/tricks?

http://www.bangornews.com/news/t/penobscot.aspx?articleid=151429&zoneid=183 I found out at 7:30 pm sunday. Joel was a really good guy, and had one hell of a sense of humor. Last time I saw him was when he was home in March and he showed me some pics from over there. One was a pic of the bombing...

First off, if this is in the wrong place, mods please move it. I figured it would probally belong here, and not in the tech or newbie forum. Well I found a '95 GST with some minor mods for $1200. Car itself is in alright, but running condition. Pulls very strong for a T25 @13psi. The pros of...

Well lately I've been looking for a new mid size SUV since my Wrangler took a dump on me :notgood: but around here prices have skyrocketed for them. I mean 02's and 03's with 60K on them going for $14K+ OMG WTF so I got on eBay Motors and found a few that are newer and far less miles for cheap...

Yea, I'm seriously thinking about trading my '99 Dakota Sport for his '01 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition. I never used my truck as a truck, and he does alot of hunting/fishing, and his Jeep was not cutting it for what he likes to do. Well we swapped for a night, and I'm like a kid again. The Jeep...

Aight, as some of you know, I'm fwd and am looking to improve my traction. I'm debating on buying a LSD insert, but what exactly does the insert do? Does it allow the inside wheel to slip during cornering, or does keep both wheels spinning at all times? If so, then what would the risks of...

I was browsing eBay and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1G-DSM-20G-TURBO_W0QQitemZ270066189354QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I didnt think that a 20G came in a TD05 housing, I thought they were all TD06. Looks more of an Evo 3 to me, but if anyone can chime and...

I've been reading about MS for the past 3 hours, and I still don't know what to order for my 1G. I've been looking at this website MegasquirtI know to order the DIY kit, but as far as anything else, I'm lost. I'm a student in EE (electrical engineering) so understanding about the board and...

Well a friend of mine is selling his SCM-5031E 50 trim, and he said I have first dibs on it. As of right now, my car is completly stock, but this winter im throwing on a few bolt ons...:D so I was wondering, when I do have the appropiate mods, will this tubo be too much for a FWD? Mods i plan...

Me and the g/f are looking to buy a new car. Her Stratus is getting to the point of beyond reliability. We're not looking into getting a "brand new", but one that is fairly new with less than 20,000 on the clock. We looked at a Toyota Camry and a Avalon, a Honda Accord, and a Ford Focus today...

:thumb: Thats right, im seriously interested in running my DSM in next year's race, here in Maine. The race consists of 6 classes, all from street stock all the way up to Open GT. The roads here are all used by logging trucks, so rough, twisty roads is what its consisted of. I've grown up on...

I've been up for hours searching now, and I can't come up with a logical answer. I have a chance to buy a VAFC2 from a Honda friend for cheap. He went with AMS stand alone, so he said if i wanted it, its mine. Well before I buy it, is there any difference besides the VTEC controller? Will this...

I don't know if this is the place to post it, if it's the wrong place, I'm sorry. I have the CAPS program and have been looking for the past hour for the knock sensor part # and I can't seem to come across it. If anyone knows this part #, please let me know so I can order it so I can put my...

Well today I made more progress on my project car than I thought I would be able to do in one day. Well first off i took the front case off and the oil pump and cleaned off all the surfaces and installed the bs eliminator kit. What a pain in the ass it was to install that rear bearing. After...

I'm almost ready to put my motor back in (replaced timing belt and components, bs removal, etc) and im looking to buy a new downpipe. But before i buy one, would a 2-1/2" flange bolt up to my stock 02 housing or would i need a new flange or 02 housing?? I'm running a 2-1/2" turbo back because im...

As of 12:01 this morning, i am now 21 and legal to buy alcohol in ME !! Not planning on going out but just happy to finally being legal after all these years.....:thumb:

So today i pulled my balance shafts and replaced them with the eliminator kit. Everything in that department went smooth. When i went to put the timing belt on, i noticed few things. First, the idler bearing i bought doesn't fit, the old one had the mounting bolt almost flush with the outside of...

Alright. I bought a EGT guage and supposedly it came with all hardware. Well it arrived today and it just has 2 harnesses, no probe. So I was wondering if anyone has seen these guages before and know where i can find a probe and what all these wires go to.Can anyone here help me out? By...

Im debating on buying this intercooler kit....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DSM-1ST-GEN-90-94-Super-FMIC-1g-DSM-FMIC-Upgrade-KIT_W0QQitemZ250014342612QQihZ015QQcategoryZ33742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I've read numerous posts about people who got them and they all say they like them, but how was the...

Im looking to buy new manifold studs. I got on Slowboy's website and they have the SS version for $10 more. Is it worth it, or should i just get the replacement ones? Also, what exhaust mani gasket should i get, the factory replacement or the "upgraded" one that slowboy sells?

Alright, today i took off my exhaust manifold to replace some broken studs from the previous owner. Well, when i took off the manifold, it was cracked in about 6 different places.:mad: Then i discovered my timing belt tensior was shot. The belt was loosening and causing a hell of a noise. So i...

Ok, so a while back i had an oil leak coming from my exhaust manifold. So i ordered new studs and a gasket. Well i just took the manifold off and there is oil everywhere,WTF in every runner. Last year the timing belt snapped and took the valves with it, so there are 16 new valves, seats, and...

Alright. My car is 90 miles away at a friends garage getting ready for paint. I bought a boost controller (Concept Illusions) a while back but never put it on. Well the nipples on the boost controller are 1/4 and I looked at the lines coming off the J-Pipe and the wastegate actuator and they...

Alright, first off, yes i have searched. I have a bone stock '90 GS-T that is currently getting body work prepped for paint, and will be followed by a complete engine and tranny rebuild (yea, I know, $$$ big time) this winter. So, I was curious as to how much money it took all of you to be able...

Alright, again i searched but came up with nothing. I have a 90 gst and was doing some fuel calculations the other night and had to come up with stock injector size.....there are no numbers on the injectors so even Mitsubishi couldnt help me. Anyone know what the stock size is on a 90???

alright, ive searched and searched and came up with nothing. im looking for a datalogging cable for my palm m125. i want the one that hooks into the diaganostic port, not one with just the spade terminals. i think this is the reason i cant find any. can anyone help me out? maybe a few of you...

Alright. Here it is, a 1990 Mitsu GS-T for $300. Its got new ball joints, rebuilt turbo, head. The guy who i bought it off lost the timing belt and bent a few valves. So he put all new valves, valve seats and guides in and rebuilt the 14b. Then a few weeks later his g/f hit a deer and ever since...

i want to recharge my a/c because the cat has been sitting for 2 years and it blows semi-cool air. so i went to Advance Auto to buy the recharge kit but its for the newer a/c systems (r-134 a). does my 90 gst have r-134a or something else that they used in the 90's???

i just recently bought a '90 gst and some people were telling me the 90's had problems and there are big differences between the years. Is it going to be a pain modding this car or will it be just like any dsm???

i have searched and searched and cannot find a logging program that i can just simply use on my laptop. i dont want to buy a palm because i wont have a purpose for one besides just logging. is there any programs out there that i can use on my laptop without buying a palm????

ok...im new to this scene....i've been reading alot about turbo's but couldnt find exactly what all this stuff means: 50-trim, 60-trim,etc... a/r i understand how a turbo works and what the wastgate is and what a bov is and how they work but i have never been told exactly what those mean and...
