The issue is it will start to thread in but once snug wont tighten down with a socket. Seems the bolt isnt long enough.

Ok so im upgrading my turbo from straight oil feed to oil/water. There was a plug bolt (bolt on left) i removed that bolt and bought the bolt/banjo bolt and crush washers to install the inline filter. Issue that im having is when putting it together correctly the bolt snugs up but wont tighten...

It wouldnt let me update my set up in the profile. Im not a stock car 2.3 stroker full build.

Im looking into the csf drag king half rad. The car was built to drag race but i still would like to take it to some meets without overheating lol

So now the mishimoto is locked into my radiator so how would i wire this in? Is it plug and play?

Can you reference a part number? Thanks

I have a fully built engine. Was told to get worried at 230

Just curious. I was planning on taking my car down to a show. The outside temps are 84 degrees, i just wrapped my forward manifold, added a 12oz bottle of purple ice. Drove it to the gas station and let it run to burn off the wrap smell. Looked at my laptop and coolant temp was 226 degrees. I...

I need to rephase my iac with the biss screw so it reads 30-40. The best i can get is 68. If i unplug my battery to relearn will i loose my tune?

I was told it needs to be rephased. I know its sealed up after the build it was boost leak tested and hasnt seen any real boost. If i unplug my battery and reset ecu will i loose my tune?

I need some help finding my iac. My tuner said my numbers are high and theres a flat screw. I cant find it lol anyone know where it is? Tb/intake attached

Ok I just picked up a built 2G. Ive been out of the DSM game for quite sometime and there's no good shops around here that tune and not very many DSM guys. I'm looking for a good tuner who can dial my car in. It just needs to be tuned. I have ECM Link installed and can log into the car. Who...

Yeah I think we're going to just change the tentioner and while I'm doing that I think I'll replace my timing belt. Then once I let the car run and warm to temp I'll re check compression. I have no problems with any Lucas product. I've run them in all of my cars. It's just a good oil...

So I just got my 92 TSI and the previous owner sounded like he didnt know much about dsm's. Anyway he said the head gasket was bad but I just did a compression test these are the numbers.1- 155 2- 125 3- 165 4- 155The Cyl at 125 we dumped a little oil down and re-did the test and...

I think the head gasket blew from over boosting and non proper mods lol

I have a friend who has a shop will do everything 20 hours. I found a complete engine kit for $329, and a spare crank for $30. Plus a stock mitsu head gasket $100 and ARP studs So I'd be around $1700 :(

So I'm picking up a second DSM 1g TSI. Couldnt pass it up. I dont know a lot about the car other than the owner say's it needs a head gasket. He said he was driving it about 500 feet before he said it had a lack in power as well as smoke. So he parked it. I was told the car had an upgraded...

So I pulled my valve cover after my engine started making noise. I was told a possible spun bearing. I have yet to pull the oil pan (Weather) yet. But taking a magnet (style you get dropped bolts) I put it in the area where I found oil pools under the cams and moved it around when I took it...

Will post video later. I was driving my car on the interstate all was well. But then I noticed in 5th gear and under boost the car felt sluggish. Long story short when I heard noise and the car started stalling I pulled over. When I opened the hood I noticed that the engine was very hot and...

So after a while I finally got the car running but I'm hearing a hissing noise which sounds like its coming from one of the injectors. I'm guessing I'm leaking air someplace. Car wont stay running, when you rev it it bogs bad. Also when I keep the throttle pushed at 3-5 rpms and hold it will...

*******UPDATE********So after a while I got it started, it's running like pure ass. I'm hearing a hissing sound coming from the driver side like there's a leak. It wont stay running unless I'm touching the gas. I just put 550 injectors in with a 2g maf which should run just fine. Am I...

So my car has sat for a little while while I tried to install my 2g maf and 550's. I believe I got the pigtail wired right, it came from a 3000GT NT and got things all put together when I went to start it it wont turn over. It's getting fuel that I know when i un plugged the hose that goes to...

Yeah it's a 2g mas I read the guy on VFAQ got his from some hardware store but wasn't sure.

I have the coupler from the turbo so I need the one to the left the oval one

Im hooking up my dejon intake but I'm missing the rubber coupler that goes from the intake to the maf and clamps. Does anyone know where I can get one? Or get one from HD or lowes?

Not from a VR4 but a Non turbo 3000GT but the MAF I got as well has the same code. Pic above of the harness

So will this work?

I've got nice weather so would love to get this installed

Ok. I couldnt find a 2g Turbo plug from the yard but I got one from a 3000 GT N/T which I read is exactly the same.

Ok so I have a 1g pig tail. So I understand this right. I cut my 1g maf wire off my car enough to go back to stock if I desire. Match my colored wires to the 2g maf wires?

So cut the 1g plug from my car, take the 1g wires and connect to 2g wires?

Ok so I'm ready for this install I have the 2g pigtail with correct wires. I've started reading on the VFAQ on installing but I'm confused. I have a 1g plug which I cut from a 1g turbo and couldnt find a 2g turbo so I took of a 3000 GT VR4 which I read is the same, as well as the MAF from the...

I have a dejon hard intake pipe with recirc that I bought and really want to install but read I need an safc. Or go straight GM maft/maf. I also read that you need 550s which I have. So can I just run this set up @12 PSI and not blow up my car? I also have a 255 fuel pump

Yeah I never experienced this issue before. When I hit WOT the boost goes but it's as if the car just falls flat on its ass. I'm going to do a leak down test

Basically what happens when I drive it I notice when I floor it it pulls ok then sort of sputters and chugs till second gear then pulls a little repeat then 3rd gear if it's still floored boost levels go from 9- almost 18-20 psi. I have all lines at the manifold nippled and tied.

I've read that people had good luck with .30 gap. I didnt spend a fortune on these plugs they were just a step up from your basic plug. Should I dial them down to .28? I wanted to drive the car a bit then pull plugs to see if any are covered in oil or white. Boost leak test is next on my...

I went and got new plugs stepped up to the platinum and when I pulled each plug they were almost all gaped .35-.36. So I gaped the new plugs at .30 and noticed almost an instant difference. I'm not spiking. Also I found the manual for the MBC which says turn 3 full CC turnes which puts me at...

Yeah I just bought another palm/hotsync station from ebay for $15 lol so now I'll have a back up either way

Why would it be my exhaust? I've had almost ID mods on my old 92 TSI and that thing pulled really hard. I've heard these MBC are junk because they can't hold the pressure like the ball and spring type (Hallman pro)

So I have this boost controller and I'm thinking this thing is a major problem? I'm spiking boost in different gears and my car has no power at all. Anyone else have this issue?http://turboxs.com/shop/194-large/standard-boost-controller.jpg

I just found my palm and data logger cable. But my palm has sat for so long that the MMCD tools app is gone. I can't find my sync stand so I was wondering if I can convert my cable to usb and run on my laptop or what the easier solution would be.

I have a 255 Fuel pump, stock injectors stock turbo

Ok so I just started driving my 92 GSX that I got at the end of the summer and man o man is this thing a dog. Doesnt even compare to my old talon which had almost the same mods. Ok so I dont know much about the car other than it's a solid 6/4 and it has an eprom ecu, upgraded clutch, upper IC...

I have done a comp test and I know the #1 and #2 somewhat fire weak. I know the valves will have to be re sat, Im going to send the head to get ported and flattend and get a 3 angle valve job.

I replaced a head gasket on my 4g63 a while ago but I got a felpro instead of a better one also didnt go with ARPS but kept the stockers. Well at the track today I believe I added a bit much boost cause after a run at 21 PSI it didnt run well after and I noticed some white smoke betweeen...

Anyone have tips on tuning an SAFC2? Im headed to the track in the AM and want to have her nice and tune for 13s!

I checked VFAQ and really couldnt find detailed instructions on how to wire these up. Anyone know where I can find this?

I just went through a simlar problem I replaced almost everything and come to find out my resistor pack wasnt plugged in all the way, must have come loose. Get a data logger, might help.

Ok so after almost 15 hours of searching and changing parts ruled out all of the problems. Changed MAF, Fuel Pump, TB, TPS, fuel rail, injectors, CAS, ECU. The last part we changed before giving up was the resistor pack but appon inspection seen it wasnt plugged in all the way. Plugged it in...
