I have done some reading and frankly, I am more confused now than before. Some say one thing, some say another etc.I figure if you can get the intake valve open a bit sooner, you can stuff more air in, but then its also going to close sooner too. Duration is the same, but in relation to...

I have what I believe to be 2g pistons on 1g rods, but I am not sure if they are 2g turbo or 1g n/t pistons.Obviously the dish is deeper on my stock 1g turbo pistons, so I know that the new pistons are higher compression, but how do I tell if they are in fact 2g TURBO pistons?I have...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, so I have a 91 Eagle 2kGTX(Galant twin) awd 5spd, DOHC 4g63, daily driver. Still have the TSi.I know its N/T and I am fine with that, it gets way better mileage and runs on 87 octane.I want to know, if...

Well, I can't find a list of spring rates for 1g AWD DSM suspension springs.factory springs and common upgrage springs, such as ST, Eibach Pro, H&R Sport, Progress etc.is there such a list somewhere?I have ST springs in the rear and am going to be swapping them out for H&R...

So, I was playing around lately with the datalogger cause the car wasn't feeling quite right.Got the WOT tuned, nicely again, as I had frigged it up earlier.But idle is wierd. Heres the thing. I had my safc set at -18 for idle.O2 trim was at about 105% and the low trim was falling...

Hi. Looking to add up to 1deg negative camber to my front. I know you can do it with fancy expensive kits from Tein etc, but how are those bolts with the little cams on em?such as http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7932040088&category=33581there is also...

can we use a 91 GVR4 ECU on a 91 Talon TSi? Nope? Yep? or with some minor fooling around?thanx

so the time has come that my stock bov will not hold enough boost anymore. And I do not want to replace it.I see 2 options.1.) crush it.2.) add the port like the guy at the Dodge Garage does. http://www.thedodgegarage.com/turbo_bov_mod.htmlwhat are your thoughts on this...

well, like it says, please help me with throttle point settings on my SAFC.I have a well ported 1gmaf, 625 Hahn Racecraft inj, 3" exhaust and run 18 psi.I have them set at 20% and 70% right now. I see that most places tell you to set them at %30 and 70%, but others say differently.I...

Well, thursday going to work, just cruisin in town, I noticed alot of steam behind the car, but as it was raining out and the road was wet, I thought nothing of it. Then when I stopped, I noticed that there was steam from under the hood as well. Oh crap, I think. Being only a block or 2 from...

I, like many DSM types,have had annoying, crappy, evil idle surge since I bought my car. I have replaced the IAC, cleaned the T-body(on car), checked for leaks etc. It was better, but not great. So, I got right into it this weekend.I had the throttle body completely off to clean it...

ok, so I forgot to put the fuse back in (red one, bottom right corner of incar fusebox) and the car still started and ran!!So I am thinking that maybe that is not the ECU fuse! I read somewhere here that is the fuse to pull. Kills the interior lights and looses the radio presets. Does it...

well, it seems the waste gate doesn't open. I put a bike pump on the actuator nipple and applied air pressure but it doesn't open the wastegate. I can open it by grabbing the rod with a pair of pliers, and I can hear the wastegate door opening and closing, but the actuator will not make it go...

well, it will never start on the first go. It will cough and fart a bit, and then die. But then it will start on the second go and be ok. Only when cold. If it is warm, no problem at all.Also I replaced the ISC, and I still get freakin idle surge when cold and rolling. Only when cold...

Well, I just got a custom 3" mandrel bent 304HT stainless exaust with a matching cat and Borla muffler. Big difference, nice workmanship, but I have a huge problem with boost creep!I can only run a vacuum hose from the turbo nipple to the wastegate nipple with no MBC. This equates to 10.5...

Well, the vast majority of people say to use GM synchromesh fluid in the DSM 5spd manual tranny. So of course I did this when I first bought my car. I have driven it for 2 months now with that in there. I hated it!Changed the master and slave cylinders and properly blead the system...

Ok, I know, you can never have too much. :Dbut seriously, when do you stop turning it up??I have a basically stock engine right now, with a K&N, removed the silencer in the can, and installed the MBC.I have it set for 15psi, and in 3rd it spikes to 17 for a second or 2, and in...

Ok, so I got a boost guage, and apparently, I was only running 10psi!! That would never do, so I did some research into commercially availiable manual boost controllers. While they seem cheap and great things, I couldn't wait a week or 2 for one to get here and after exchange, duty, tax...

well, I see that alot of people take out the lower honeycomb on thier 1g maf sensors. I also notice that people turn out the adjusting screw as well. Both these mods would make the car run leaner as it will allow more air into the engine that the system has not counted. In high boost turbo...

hi allWell, my car has powr locks, and fact security system. When I de-activate it from the passenger side, all is well. If I de-activate it from the drivers side, it opens the lock, and then immediately locks it again. CLick, click. I can beat it by having one hand on the door handle...

hey, so there I was off work for the day, and I had it in my head to do the BSC mod that we all hear about. "Cool" I think, "free horses!!"Off it comes, out comes the powerful light and some basic tools. Shine the light in the ends of the tubes in question, but for the life of me, I can't...

hi there. I am thinking about getting one of these manual boost controllers. At www.boostcontroller.com they sell only these 2, and say that they are the best kind,(non-bleed) As well they are pretty cheap.What advantage does each have? are they reliable? what disadvantages do they have...
