Whats up guys, was trying to install a new a/c belt the other day on my 97 GST when I ran into a problem.I noticed the crank pulley and a/c belt tensioner pulley both look like they’re for a 4 rib belt, while the pulley on the a/c compressor only fits a 3 rib.Autozone gave me a 4 rib that...
My job search is getting no where. So I'm thinking about going to school for something. It will all be paid for thanks to the GI bill.I would rather going to a technical school for something or many things. I don't feel like going to college for 4 years and be in the same damn boat looking...
I spun a rod bearing my Honda today. I opened it up and the bearing was still there. So the crank was untouched and most of the rod big end was untouched as well. Except for a small portion of the rod was raised up. Don't know if it was assembled like that or what. But I ground it down and...
I got my meth injection kit mainly for it's octane raising ability so I can run some decent timing since I am running 91 pump.With that said, if I were to inject pre-turbo would I still get those effects? In addition to the increase of compressor efficiency?I want to do the pre-turbo...
I may be getting my cams installed sometime soon. I know I will need to adjust VE at idle to keep trims inline. But what about the cells all around the idle cells? Is it good practice to add a little bit of VE in those areas as well?For cruising and WOT I can just have linktools adjust for the...
Anyone ever port a turbine housing volute? Or is it pointless?I'm just wondering since before putting my HX40 back together I need to go over the turbine housing and smooth it all back out since when the last one blew the turbine wheel came off and smashed around in the turbine housing.
Sup guys, my tune is worked over and I'm ready to break into the 12's the next time I'm at the track.I'm wondering if I should raise the rev limiter and stay in 3rd at the end or shift into 4th?I cant help but think that the time it takes to shift into 4th is going to eat into the ET...
Not too long ago I dynoed 374whp on 91 octane at 25psi peak boost. According to the dyno sheet it was knocking at about 6k on up.I went to the track today for my first ever runs at the track. The first run it knocked the entire run until I hit the brakes trying to get slower then a 13.9...
I'm thinking about opening my old transmission and attempting to swap out the bearings myself.It's a 97 GST MT tranny. I think it's the bearings due to a hum that it made, most prominently at highway speeds in 5th.Anyways, to the point. I'm wondering what I will have to look out for when...
Sup guys, dynoed the car today. Got 374hp/369tq at 25psi on the billet 11 blade 20G on 91 octane pump gas. This is with a TD05H/7cm hotside.Here are the relevant mods off the top of my head.
Completely stock engine
FP manifold
Punishment Tial MVS O2 housing with 38mm Tial gate
Megan downpipe...
I was out doing some pulls tonight to get some logs. Well I've never had my turbo turned up to 25psi and I cant tell if I'm spinning my wheels or if my clutch is slipping.I smell no hint of burnt clutch. And I checked my logs to see if the speed would reflect wheel spin and the speed...
Sup guys, here are some pics of my HX40 after last nights dyno session.I'm questioning whether or not I want to spend the money to get it rebuilt, if it in fact can be.But if I do, how will I know that the center cartridge is still good? Do I just want to make sure that none of the...
Sup guys, another guy here who just switched to SD and cant get the idle down.I did what I had to do to get airflow per rev and combined fuel trim inline. But no matter what I do the AFR's are way lean so of course it idles really rough. AFR's are high 15's to 17.My wideband is not wired...
Heres an idle log after having a base map loaded up before trying to tune. Things are all over the place.The LTFT lo is stuck at -12.5% and isnt my airflow way off? I have a wideband but its not logged. It was moving back and forth from 16.2 to 14.5.Idle AFR's were fine and steady with...
Yep its another one of these threads, sorry. Stuff just starts boggling my mind when I look at all the turbo options and start reading posts that produce even more options. Also most of the threads I get in the search resutls are a little older and the newer more efficient compressors aren't...
So now that the weather is warming up my car is running hot all of a sudden. Didn't have a problem with it last year and I haven't changed anything. Its really not even hot yet and its damn near overheating.Alright so heres what its doing. Whenever I'm at a stop light for a little bit the...
Anyway a 275/60/15 drag radial will fit my 97 GST? Will I be able to turn enough to make turns? What kind of offset would be needed? Theres a good deal on some hoosiers in that size locally and my GST really needs help in the traction department. I know its stupid big, but its a pretty good...
Heres my log. Seems pretty flat in areas. What do you all think? Below 4k rpm if I punch it in 3rd the boost fluctuates like crazy so its only steady after 4k. Nearing 7k it creeps to about 18psi. Thanks.
Just as it says. Im running a bullseye housing right now that uses a snap ring to hold it on. So currently I dont have the vband style clamp that would hold a regular housing on.Im switching to an evo 3 housing but need the clamp for it. I cant find anyone online that sells them. Anyone know...
SLS O2 Housing TiAL 44mm External WG Atmosphere Dump 1g DSM - Modern Automotive PerformanceThis O2 housing says its for a 1G. Why wouldnt it fit on a 2G? Will there be wastegate clearance problems? This looks like it might even clear the stock a/c fan with some trimming. But I think the PS...
I want this o2 housing.
EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Punishment Racing SS 38mm Ext. Recirculated O2 Housing: Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-99I am wondering if the wastegate will clear the stock fan on my 97 GST if I use this o2 housing? Thanks.
I want to get another pair of wheels to mount some drag radials on. I'm wondering what the widest wheel with a low offset that I can pull off is. Im willing to sacrifice some turning ability or get another set of fenders to roll. Im thinking a 15in or 16in. Would want a 15 since the tires are a...
Sup guys. Im wondering if anyone makes an upgraded slave for our cars?Im over in Japan right now and driving a 180sx while my eclipse sleeps in a garage. And with my 180 I installed a NISMO slave cylinder. Supposedly it has a bigger piston. With this installed it required much less effort to...
Just as it says. I have tint on the rear left window. Its the only window with tint on it and its bubbling and looks purple. Looks like ass, I want to remove it. Any tips for making it easier?
Im sending my tranny to shep. I read from a post somewhere that walmart sells containers good for this? I ordered one of the team rip boxes, but it doesnt look like hes even got my email yet and I need my car together up and running by the end of the month and the box wont arrive in time. Once I...
Im wondering if anyone knows if the keyless entry remote from the 3g eclipses can be programmed for my 97 eclipse?Heres a link to one on ebay that I want to buy. Id rather have one of these because they feel a lot more solid and the buttons are just plain easier to push and dont feel like...
Im pretty close to buying a 96 talon tsi. Just awaiting the loan. One problem with it is how dirty the engine bay is. Its pretty damn filthy. It definetly needs a cleaning. My question is aside from the intake filter what things need to be covered up as I spray it all down?
Ive sold my DSM :( and now have a 180sx.I sold it to my bro and now Im in Okinawa with a 180 and I was just wondering if any of you guys know if theres a nice forum like this one for 180's, silvias, 240's, etc.
Ok a long time ago I posted a couple logs. It looked like I wasnt even on the high flow map since I was getting around 24 degrees up until 6900rpm where it fell a little due to knock.That was at 14psi, now it spikes to around 20 when I hit the gas and drops to about 16psi.I also rewired...
Ever since I put my 14b w/ bullseye turbine housing on Ive never been able to get it to boost more then 14psi without spiking like hell.Heres what happens. If i adjust the boost controller a little above 14psi it will spike like 1 or 2 psi. So I think to myself hey its still at 14psi up that...
Ok Ive been reading a little bit about A/T trannies. Seems to me they are more reliable when it comes to drag racing. Ive never even considered an A/T before but the more I read the more Im thinking about getting one. Now on to the questions.First off Im wondering if its possible to launch...
Im looking for the pipes that are supposed to come in the 24R greddy front mount kit. Do they sell them by themselves? I think Ive seen them before, but I cant seem to find them anymore.
I did it in 3rd gear. What do you think it looks like? Am I getting a little knock?This was with a 14b at 14psi, intake, ic pipes, bov, 3in dp. Yes its a stock fuel system.I did it to see where it was at at 14psi. I was going to up it to 16psi and compare. But if its knocking already...
I have some firestone firehawk all season tires. They suck. I was running around 23 psi in the front to try and get better launches out of them. These tires have absolutley no grip whatsoever. Ive never driven anything with as slick a tire as these are. But anyways to the point. I upped the tire...
Ive lost my oil pressure gauge fittings that it came with. Its a mechanical Autometer. Ive got the steel braided line for it but where can I buy the fittings it came with? I couldnt find them on the autometer site. Or if anyone knows the size and type of fitting it is that would be great. Thanks.
I have a 97 gst with basic mods. An intake, uicp, bov, 3 inch downpipe, boost controller. I have a 14b with a bullseye turbine housing with the 38mm wastegate that I am going to put on. Im going to go with a wet 75 shot of nitrous on top of this. I have a walbro 255lph pump waiting to be...
Ok Ive got my 14b apart and read to put the bullseye housing onto it. It has a snapring that looks like its supposed to hold it together instead of the vband style clamp that was on the 14b. Anyone put a turbo together similar to this? Im thinking I will need a set of snapring pliers. Is that...
Everyonce in a while my car wont start. Ill turn the key and nothing will happen at all. All the normal dash lights come on, but when I turn the key all the way I just hear a click from a relay under the dash and the lights dim. Thats it... no other noise at all. Its as if the starter isnt...
I replaced my PCV valve with a straight fitting and put a breather filter on the hose until I get a catch can. I capped off the intake manny nipple that the line would normally run to. I did this in hopes of removing crankcase pressure thats causing a small crank in my valve cover that is...
How much of a difference does it make to shift your car faster at the track? Also wouldnt a no lift shift be faster since the turbo will be kept spooling? Im not talking a bouncing off the redline no lift here. I am wondering because if it really doesnt make that big of a difference I want to...
Before I sold my 1G I had bought everything needed to replace the timing belt except the waterpump. I am wonder how much of this I can use on my 2G? I will be removing my balance shafts soon and If I can use any of the 1G shiz that would be great.
Just my luck. First my valve seals, now this. I havent even gotten the chance to get the seals done. I have this loud knocking coming from what sounds like the head. It only does it at idle. When I drive around everything sounds normal and it drives fine. There may be a minimal amount of...
Ok people. For those of you with Autometer Phantom gauges. The gauges original bulb it comes with just isnt bright enough and doesnt look super tight cool and night right!? Thats exactly what I thoughtm, and I didnt want to spend 3 times the amount for a cobalt or c2. So I read up about getting...
I am in need of some billet shift forks (evo will do if billet cant be found) and some steel shift rails. Where can I get these? TRE is out of stock and Shep doesnt sell them outright.
My front drivers side axle is taking a fat poo on me. My thinking right now is that I wouldnt trust autozone axles. Especially if theyre anything like their clutches. Just wondering what you guys would think about them.
Theres 2 vac lines that come from something that looks like a sensor on the thermostat housing. Where are they supposed to go? Im guessing the throttle body? I noticed mine are just cut off and not going anywhere. And all the vac fittings on my throttle body have just been blocked off. I bought...
