Lots of cool projects here and I have also been thinking about the scarcity of DSM parts in the future. It's one of the reasons I recently purchased an Ender 3 V2. Not high end by any means but a starter machine to learn. I have some basic CAD skills but have never 3d printed before. Any tips...

I think it's great that DSMs are rising in price. Honestly though, a vast majority of DSM owners are their own worst enemy when it comes to price. It seems that anytime someone posts to sell on social media, people are slamming the owner for selling "too high." This is a bs excuse as a car is...

I say go for it as long as everything under the hood is ok and there isn't any extreme rust anywhere, especially if it will be a side project car. Depending on what your goals are, the auto transmission is considered stronger than our manual transmissions.

If I were you, I would start with all maintenance first. Make sure she is mechanically sound and running strong before any modifications.https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/dsm-maintenance-guide.476550/But to answer your original question, you have a decision of running a BOV with a stock 2g...

Depends on how long you plan on keeping the car and what your end build goal is. Street? Drag? Autox? Road Race or a mix. If it's in your budget, it's hard to beat Feal 441 coils for our platform at it's price point and customer support.

I think I'm going to do the same. Also one of the reviews on amazon says the harbor freight battery will fit this unit.

Now you got me looking into purchasing one of these. My buddy, who is a tech for Subaru, uses these and they are a massive time saver for him. Especially since he is working to beat the book. From my little research, the Milwaukee M12 (or M18?) is the best one at this price point. I also have...

Well my initial suspicion was correct. Messed with the clutch pedal and was able to force it back into alignment. This gave me around an inch more of pedal travel to push the system. There is an impression in the floor/carpet that the clutch pedal will sit in at the bottom of its travel...

I used a check valve on amazon that had good reviews and are fuel rated. I assumed if it is good for fuel it will be ok for crankcase fumes/oil.

I did check the "window" and the fork is sitting pretty centered there. Will also take a look at my slave and master again. I might as well try bleeding it since that will be simple.I know that clutch pedal alignment is mainly a 1g issue but jafro specifically mentioned that clutch pedal...

Thanks for your responses guys. I put in OEM master and slave cylinders about 20k miles ago so they should be good. No leaks under the dash but I did not check my slave for leaks. Also did Act Streetlite/Act 2600 disk, OEM fork, pivot ball, to bearing, and seals a little over a year ago. Did not...

Never had any issues with clutch engagement or drag. Over the past week or so my engagement point has dropped closer to the floor and shifting has been sporadic. I adjusted the rod under the dash and shifting was great again. Today, I was getting locked out of 1st gear and after watching Jafros...

Some pictures I took.As you can see, the wastegate path looks more efficient. Instead of turning immediately like the stock piece, the tubular piece has a short straight section then smoothly bends into a transition almost the entire way to the downpipe flange. Not to mention the diameter of...

For anyone reading this later on. I will caveat this by saying I ported my turbine housing (90 degree bend knocked down, waste gate hole widened under the stock flapper, ported housing to match 02 housing gasket from extremepsi), and also ported the stock 02 housing entrance and exit. I am no...

Thanks for your feedback. I am running 93 octane and used the Evo 8 stock maps as a starting point. I've slowly been bumping up the timing in the general spool up and boost regions of my timing map. So under boost, I should keep my timing consistent? Also, would peak torque be when load maxes...

If you are on the MAF system, which I assume it is, then yes you want to hook the BOV/BPV up to a vacuum source. There should be an available spot on the intake manifold if it is stock. Other than aesthetics, it doesn't matter which way the vacuum nipple faces as long as your vacuum line reaches...

I am happy to report back that the PR 02 housing you recommended fixed my boost creep! Log is attached (also started tuning). It seems like I am holding a pretty consistent 20 psi. After install, I was hitting about 22 consistently but a quarter turn back on my mbc brought it down to 20 psi...

No worries, man. I was trying to wrap my head around this. I'm hoping the recirc drops my boost another 1 or 2 psi. If that doesn't work, I am tempted to try an 02 dump next.Amazing! Thank you for going through this example. This is will be helpful to understand once I get to tuning.Thanks...

Thanks for all your help so far. I honestly don't have the ability to weld so peepers mod would be a challenge at the moment.Well the 02 is already on its way, haha. I put my wastegate arm back on the flapper and did some pulls. Seems like I am hitting about 22 psi. Seems decently consistent...

Ended up throwing the high flow cat on last night and disconnected my wastegate actuator to let my flapper open freely. Unfortunately, I hit a max of ~14 psi. I did not do a pull with the wastegate actuator on, I will try to do that today at some point and see what max boost I am hitting.I...

For the near term, I'm going to say no to the stock downpipe just because I don't want to go through the hassle of getting my Wideband 02 bung welded into a stock downpipe.I think my immediate plan is to do a WOT pull without the actuator attached to the flapper. I assume it will creep. Then...

Agreed.This piece from JMF looks very tempting. It looks beautifully made and seems like it would reduce creep at least. I am going to look into this more. I am building this car for street/autox so the noise level may prevent me from buying it unfortunately.I was hoping to avoid this...

Really appreciate your response, I was hoping you would respond as I have come across many of your posts on this and the FP68hta. I also didn't mention, I don't really care if I blow up this turbo as I have been looking at the FP68hta V1 that is currently on sale. My small 16g is coming off the...

Let me preface this by saying I've been doing a lot of reading and I know this is a loaded question due to the amount of variables involved. Supporting mods in my profile should be up to date. Boost leak tested up to 25 psi (I was aiming to run 20 psi). Stock 7 bolt long block compression test...

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I think I'm going to make a bracket behind my manifold like vegas or make a small bracket like the oem evo 1-3. Most likely the bracket behind the manifold as I need a place to mount my MAP sensor (to log boost and potentially go speed density at some point).

I am wondering where and how everyone mounts their PTU with the Evo3 IM? I have the Evo3 manifold and the Evo3 coil bracket and there is no obvious place to mount the PTU.I searched and found examples of mounted and unmounted PTUs. From my understanding, the PTU should be grounded to a...

I am in the middle of rebuilding a 1g TB that I bought used. Not sure of any history of this TB. Anyway, I was about to remove the TB shaft and noticed the shaft seals didn't look like the stock rubber material. Do I have either a metal case or mil spec seals? Please see attached picture.I...

Ok, perfect. Thank you for your help!

Thanks for your response guys. Just to clear up my issue. I am wondering if the open ports on the top of the throttle body would cause boost leaks? The 2 are "open" and the 1 has a plug. This area.Would hate to rebuild this and put it back together, just to have a boost leak.

Just bought this throttle body recently. See attached pictures. I understand that I do not need these vacuum ports as I am not running an EGR. However, I noticed the little plugs are missing. Will this cause a boost leak? I noticed the nipples have been welded? Jb welded shut? Let me know what...

Thanks guys. I went ahead and ordered a new ks32 sensor from rockauto. I also saw summit racing has these too I believe.

Are these considered OEM 2G equivalent?Also, can anyone confirm the 3kgt uses the same knock sensor as a 2g?

I have my intake manifold off and was looking at my knock sensor. There seems to be some black goo starting to come out. (Picture attached) This means my knock sensor needs replaced correct? I was getting pretty consistent phantom knock in the low rpms so I'm hoping this can potentially resolve...

I've been thinking about ways to increase the overall thermal efficiency of my cooling system. I understand ducting will reap the largest benefits, which is a project I am planning later on. Along with an Andrew Brilliant designed vented hood from Carbonetics.I was wondering if lowering the...

I am thinking about buying these seats. Can you post any more pictures of the install? What did you have to do in order to retain the stock sliders?

When does the coupon code expire?

Definitely interested.

Me too, it's the reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on this hood. Although, I want one badly.

Wrap that badboy in DEI CoolWrap or even better, the gold stuff! Looking good though, man!

I forget to be honest. I can hit it with calipers and let you know.

I made mine out of Aluminum 6061 with a small bender. Also wrapped the box in DEI CoolTape. Honestly though I should have made the box out of a different material. Aluminum conducts heat easily and therefore would allow heat into the box easier. This is why OEMs use plastic for their intake...

Since you have a 1999 DSM, you have a flashable black box ECU. You need the Tactrix 2.0 Cable with a reflash adapter. I think the 1.3 might work but I use the 2.0. Then all you need is ECUFlash and Evoscan.An EPROM ECU means that it can support DSMLink. So it depends on what route you want to...

Start here, and stay out of boost until everything on here is performed.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/dsm-maintenance-guide.476550/

I believe we are at 38+20(from a possible company)=58. Let's keep the ball rolling guys. We need at least 75.
