I live in Iowa and have a 3 car attached garage. It got to -30f last winter and I had no issues. I ran a flexible gas line and installed a Vent Free heater. It works awesome. On the lowest setting it keeps the garage about 55f. It cost me about 300$ all said and done to buy the flexible line and...

Ya, I should have talked to the seller first, I was just very upset and wasn't thinking I am talking to him now but I don't think he liked this post. It was a rebuilt evo III 16g "ebay" with garrett journal bearings.

A few months ago I purchased a turbo off of ebay from ******** this person list ebay turbos that have been rebuilt to so called "DRASTICALLY" improve their life. This however, is not true. I ran this same turbo he is showing in this auction (link removed) and the auction was setup the same and...

I found out what it was, the vacuum line I was using for the map was not creating an vacuum. I switched it to another line and now it is idling at 15-16. I was wondering if anyone knew where a good place to connect this would be. Currently I am using one on the front for the fpr and boost gauge...

Well I just installed ds-map and my new 750 FIC's and now my car runs crazy rich. I haven't driven it but at idle it sits at 10.7 on my aem wideband and logger. I have adjusted the deadtimes and the injector size in ds-map but it is still the same, no change. I even put my stock ones back in and...

I am using this page to make a bin just to start with. I will be using ds-map soon but I want something till then. What should I choose from the drop down for my dead times if I have FIC 750's? Is there a better way to make a chip than this page,which is very easy? I was also wondering what can...

Ya, I thought so but I was just seeing if anyone had tried it.Thanks

eBay Motors: Turbo Manifold DSM Eclipse GS GS-T GSX w/38mm Wastegate (item 110248016717 end time May-05-08 14:22:37 PDT)What do you guys think? Is the waste gate any good? Anyone tried it, anyone willing to?Thanks

I will try that, any other suggestions?

I recently purchased a remote lock kit off of ebay and it works great. The only thing problem is that it drains my battery. Does anyone know where I can get something better? Maybe a replacement? I would like to keep the actuators I have installed. :laser:Thanks

Cool, thanks all, I will let you know this weekend.

Don't i have to remove a fuse? Is this a good guide to follow, http://www.geocities.com/dsmgrrrl/FAQs/compression.htm

No, I don't think it was warm, my dad did it since I am at college, I will redo it this weekend when I go home. What do I need to do to prepare for optimal results?

I performed a compression test and got 119 on each cylinder and the car smokes when you hammer on it, am I screwed? I blew a turbo earlier, could it be the cause of the smoke? :laser:

Well I visited my brother this weekend and my dad brought up the old turbo. The exhaust turbine is gone and I'm sure somewhere in my catalytic converter. My dad also said it is blue smoke, not white and he thinks I might have scoured the piston wall with a a blown ring. Since I still haven't...

Thanks for the help guys I am at college right now so the compression test will have to wait a little while, but I will tell you the results when I get it done.

Ok, thanks I will do a compression test. The car seems to be running strong except for that smoke so I guess I will see.

I was driving my car and there was a loud pop then white smoke and no boost. After extensive boost leaks test I noticed my 14b was gone. I decided to swap my 14b for a 16g thinking the turbo was blown, which it was, and now I'm still getting white smoke at WOT. Any ideas would be greatly...

Use proper English when posting please dsmcrzy4life. It makes it a lot easier to read and understand what you are saying.Thank you

Can we say Fuel Cut?

Oh, and sorry I just realized you have a 2g ds-map works for 1g's so far.

Try it now, sorry :-)

You could go with DS-Map it is a great new way to tune, cheaper and better than dsm link.

Anybody tried them? Anybody hate them? It seems to me that it wouldn't be to hard to crate an air filter, but then again I am no air filter scientist ;) I was looking into this one or maybe this one . I was also wondering what is the deal with that HKS filter that cost $80?

You should switch to ds-map and get rid of that SAFC junk, you can get a way better tune.

I also agree, I currently have the same problem and am pretty sure it is the wastegate, however the arm on mine is still attached so I think it might be internal. I would first look at the wastegate arm and make sure it is hooked up, it might be the best worst thing that could have went wrong. :-)

$100 extra bucks, I don't know where you shop, but to get an MHI turbo and the accessories would be around $700, the Ebay turbos w/accessories cost about $250

Dyno?

I paid 800 for my rusty laser with 176k, but it ran a 15.1 stock :) and tiger paws. It is still going strong 3 years later. I am looking at getting a 2g awd and drop a 6 bolt in it.

Maybe we should start a paypal donation fund for you, that way we can each give a buck or two for your troubles and further testing.

Okay, so far so good then? I had already got the round one since I thought I would try the foam, but I might also get a cone one since they are like 15 bucks.

But is it to much work? Is it even worth it?

Ya, 110 in third seems pretty ridiculous on my fwd I was at red line by about 95 at the strip. And 80 in second seems crazy, just me 2cents.

HAHA sorry I am in class and trying to learn flash so I was typing it quick and didn't think about it. Thanks for the help.ps. I fixed itI was also wondering if there is anyway to keep my 1g ecu since I would love to run ds-map on a 2g.

I am looking to put the engine ;-) from my laser into a 2nd gen dsm. I would like to know which dsm you all would recommend I get for the swap, I would like it to be awd. I have been looking around, but I can't decide on what year to get. All and any help would be great.Thanks

Each gear goes up about 30mph before redline in my car. I'm sure it is a little longer but this is about right for me. And cops don't have to scan or show you their radar for you to get a ticket, sometimes they are just jerks, but if you were in third gear you could have easily been speeding...

Dyno?

Learn to launch better and wheel hop will be minimal. :) Do everything everyone else said too. :laser:

I will be running ds-map soon and am wondering if I should go with the the FIC 750 or 650 injectors? I have a 16g EVO III turbo and all the nescessary fuel components. Will I be able to downtune the 750's or is it now worth it, they are the same price? I am not building a track monster just a...

I am using ds-map :) I have done my research.

Well, I am glad to see that someone can stick up for the newbs. Thanks for the input, I still don't know what I will be doing but it is nice to know it works, do you have any pics? I would like to know what you had to mod to get it to work. I will be purchasing the AFRP kit from Import Evolution...

Ok, well I am going to be staying with the stock rail, I just was wondering if anyone had tried the Ebay one.

I just recently bought the rebuilt ebay turbo the guy on here was selling, hope it works like he says it will. :|

Sounds pretty sweet, hope it continues to work for you. Maybe Ebay got it right this time?

Well saying it is on ebay doesn't make it any different. There are plenty of intercoolers on ebay that work as well as the "name brand" ones. Does anyone know if this works or not, I guess I could be the guinea pig, but a lil help would be nice. And seriously the AEM ones are way over priced.

Well, I looked at the intake turbine some more and it was fine. There was no play, no wobble and it spun freely. I was not bold enough to take off the exhaust side of the turbo, but I will be taking it to a mechanic friend soon. Could it be possible that the wastegate flap is just no longer...
