    Jack's transmission 1.1

    I have one of his transmissions and it has been flawless for 30,000 miles. Not much more to say then that!

    13.8 @ 107mph

    Try lowering your tires psi by 5 each run and see if your 60 food gets better, i wouldnt go below 15 though, it will actually start hurting your mph if you do. Good luck, if it was easy it wouldnt be fun!

    Is this possible to build a dsm like this

    Forgive if im wrong but i thought he could do that in the subaru because they have a way to send more power to rear wheels than 50/50? I just figured thats how he did the powerslides at like 100mph for 20 seconds haha!

    Is this possible to build a dsm like this

    The main problem with building a dsm like that is that we dont have power on oversteer. No matter how we modify our trans it will always be a 50/50 with more weight at the front. That means when you press the petal and steer it will understeer. Now we have some lift off oversteer if you dial...

    Price and time of

    The thing is its never as simple as just swapping in an engine and transmission. There are always issues that arise and honestly it just never works out like you hoped or budgeted for.I bought a dsm for 1.2k and 5 years later and close to 6 grand later it is still not really what i had...

    At wits end with no fuel

    This problem has been officially resolved! The problem ended up being a miswired fuel pump rewire kit. Instead of using the black with white stripe wire i used the yellow with blue stripe wire. Thus i was giving 14 volts to the fuel position sensor....Let this be a lesson ALWAYS triple...

    is your car street worthy or just quick in a 1/4 mile?

    ive owned mine for 5 years and driven a grand total of 63 miles, ive done more coasting then driving in this car. Somedays i think it would be faster if i just flintstone the bottom off of it and use my feet.

    Repo

    Guys i think you are going a little overboard on the whole situation. Currently i work for a car manufacturer in their bankruptcy department. We repossess around 15 cars a day all over the U.S. Ive seen thousands of cars being repossessed over the course of this job. Not once was the bank or...

    1989 Mirage+ BW S475=Huge turbo awesomeness

    The exhaust is gonna shoot out the top of the hood?! man your crazy insane! One quick observation though wont that impede airflow at your projected speed? In your sig it says "project 200 mph" I think at 200 mph having a giant smoke stack will effect your aerodynamics haha! Plus at 200 mph it...

    At wits end with no fuel

    well before i get ahead of myself I will ensure that the fuel pump is indeed the problem and is not turning on.*update* well i checked the fuel pump and even applied direct voltage /ground to it and still nothing, so unless im crazy there is no way it would be working. I tried listening...

    At wits end with no fuel

    Thank you all for the replies, I removed the fuel line and cranked over the car to eliminate the possiblity of a stuck fpr (its a stock one bolted on the end of the fuel rail) Still no fuel.I am assuming the pump is stock, everything else on this car is and it shows no sign of ever being...

    At wits end with no fuel

    If the key is in the on position should the fuel pump be loud? i opened the gas cap and cant hear anything over the dinging and fan noises. Basically im gathering that since there should be alot more fuel comming out of the fuel rail there is either, blockage in the fuel lines, the fuel pump...

    2G Stage 4 XTD clutch or ACT 2600

    See thats so funny you say that, because my act 2600 lasted 1000 daily driver break in miles with limited boost and slipped while boosting. My newer XTD stage 4 has less pressure on the clutch pedal, feels better, bites harder, doesnt slip, oh yea and was less than half of the act (which broke...

    Getting back into the DSM game, need help deciding on a car.

    IMO if you have experienced snow in the mustang then in a fwd car it will be slightly better than the stang. What im trying to say is that if you havent had any problems in the snow with your stang then you are gtg in the fwd.As far as deciding between the two cars i would honestly see...

    no oil psi, overheating. rattling. losing money ### help!!

    Its getting hot because you have no oil pressure! This means you are frying your bearings throughout your engine, now you have at the very least rod knock and most likely will seize your motor pretty quickly here. You should NEVER run your engine with 0 oil pressure that is a death sentence for...

    :cry: Wrong Octane - Now Massive Backfiring

    I dont know about 2g's but the 1g's have a bolt in the bottom of the fuel tank that you can undo and drain the tank. Try that

    turbo houseing blew off! metal particals all the way up the intake pipe

    Replace everything that has been in contact with the particles, depending on how bad if the particles got into the intake manifold, it might be game over. Also I would drain the oil, replace the oil filter, at the very least clean everything thoroughly it can only help =).

    Carbon On Valves?(Valvestem Seals)

    Yea if some of the valves look new then those were the bent ones and the others are the old ones left in there. I bet the old valves still have the old valvestem seals on there, that would be the first place I would check to find the oil burnage.

    Car won't start. Stranded in nowhere!

    Make sure they are plugged in right into the ignition coil as well. If the car was running perfectly then you replaced the wires and its running bad then you put the wires in there wrong. Also make sure they are really pressed down onto the spark-plugs sometimes they might seem like they are...

    Eagle Rod cap discoloration w/ pics

    Yea i obviously had no idea a spun bearing required all that work! I have looped the oil cooler lines for now until I can get a few funds for a new oil cooler. Then i did the complete tear down like you said and lo-and behold i found little particles in the strangest places. The worst were in...

    Eagle Rod cap discoloration w/ pics

    10 cans of brake cleaner? are you crazy? Thats enough to make my entire house explode into a giant fireball! Damn and i disassembled my oilpump and am glad to note there are no shavings of any kind in there, working on the head. Ill do as much as I can but why the lifters out of curiosity the...

    Eagle Rod cap discoloration w/ pics

    Thanks JAM, last winter I had an oil pump fail on me and I thought I caught it in time. I replaced all the bearings and polished the crank but apparently there was still particles left over in the oil gallerys.... I ordered 2 new eagle rods (plus a new polished crankshaft) just in case as...

    Turbo kit install helllllppp!!!!!!!

    IMO take it to a professional shop, I dont mean to come off as an donkeys rear but if you dont know where a fuel pressure regulator goes how in the world are you gonna tune the car for boost? If you dont want to do that then do some research on the site and all the answers will come in time.

    Starting Funky

    What are your compression numbers? You can buy a cheapo tester at harbor freight or autozone if you dont have one. They are under 50$ and might be the answer to your problems.

    Eagle Rod cap discoloration w/ pics

    I was afraid of that, any suggestions to where I can get a new eagle 6 bolt rod? Replacing the crankshaft was a given seeing how i spun bearings, and i got a polished stock crank which is good to go. Crap i just realized that means I have to remove the pistons and to do that I need to remove...

    Eagle Rod cap discoloration w/ pics

    Hey I am in the process of tearing my engine apart so I wanted to get people's opinion on this rod cap, it is discolored only on the cap side the rest of the rod looks perfectly normal.A bit of background this motor has around 45 min of idling and 15-20 min of driving max. I spun 2...

  41. bluegs03

    I want to do this correctly the first time.

    To give you an answer that isnt "search" If you really wanted to do it right the first time then the next "mods" you should do are a boost gauge (you might have that one) a wideband a/f gauge, a logger of some sort, or a tuner with a logger aka dsmlnk. Then start small like an upgraded SMIC or...

    Transmission Grinds in 1st and 2nd Gear

    GI: Carbon/Kevlar/Fiberglass parts

    Make sure you arent over extending yourself, setting up a business is much more than starting to produce products in your garage. You need to get at very least a license, sole proprietorship, LLC etc. You need to have a way to track order's and keep track of customers aka excel or something...

    Anyone in my area willing to lend me a hand for $$$$$

    Sorry to say it most likely is bend valves, a rocker off and the journals of the cams not even touching?! looks exactly like mine did when i opened it up and it had bent valves on every cylinder.

    what is the best way to get 400hp 6bolt motor

    wait so your running a e16g at 18psi with no upgraded fuel injectors no AFPR? do you have any way to tune it? Or are you monitoring knock because i would bet you are days away from blowing your motor your knocking so much at 18psi on stock injectors.

    Spun a bearing after 1.5miles of driving?!
