That rear design is extremely dangerous without a way to smoothly redirect the load laterally.Only a couple hundred pounds of force to rip that weld right open unless you add some really robust gussets. Then it'll become a projectile and hopefully the tow vehicle and driver are protected.

Yeah, definitely use the sealed ones, Tim. I'm hoping the message about speedo gears, etc., isn't delaying it too much more.I've added some additional details to the spreadsheet and multiple sources to confirm part numbers. I found some references that included more details about the...

I wasn't aware that it was actually going to display inside the window when I posted it, I was just dropping the link. Let's see if this works to redirect instead of posting over. Google FileOkay, then please do that on my Quaife I ordered! :D I completely agree on the sealed bearing...

I'm doing a number of rebuild items and realized that Mitsu part numbers show up with other part numbers stamped right on them.For example, the rear differential side bearings ordered from Mitsubishi as MN168441 currently at ~$40 comes in a box with the Mitsu part number, but stamped NSK...

I purchased a 1g DSS 3.5 aluminum driveshaft and when it arrived, I decided to mock up the connection as I was documenting the build. I quickly found that the 4-bolt to 6-bolt conversion plate was oriented with one point of the 6-bolt star shape at 90 degrees to the yoke arm for that side.The...

Freaking found it. Cruise control taps off the TPS, which makes sense. I actually like cruise for long drives, so I'll probably have to route it back in.I don't know why they didn't just include it in the wiring diagrams anywhere else. Considering the whole project was to eliminate possible...

What could be factory tapped on the TPS sensor wire near the ECU?I've been rewiring much of my engine bay all the way back to the ECU (refreshing 25+ year old wires, multiple relays/MPI replacement, dedicating power sources & grounds, individual wire looms, etc).I've found an issue with the...

I have looked into it and having some custom made is way out of my price range. 1-off items like that would quickly get into the thousands for just the hub/spindle; using existing products with slight modifications would keep the entire build way cheaper.

Edit on the last post. Looks like I had a calibration error on the calipers. The needle roller bearings on both setups have a 2mm diameter. They are different lengths, though.

There were a couple threads on putting Evo X hubs on a 1g, but I couldn't find a lot of info on doing so. I picked up a couple hubs and now I'm looking for all the things that need to be solved.First the reasons: update suspension with hubs using different geometry, bolt-in bearings, more...

Haha, I just found that there was more activity on this thread. I just got married and the car's been down with a transmission rebuild and clutch work, so I haven't been searching for people to hang with.I just used the term crew because it was shorter than "group of people into DSMs that...

Note: I wrote to TMZ to get their input on some of this and I wanted to get some feedback here as well.I picked up a SBC DSM SSX-TZ/B kit from TMZ about a year ago. I loved it for all of about 8 months or so and have had engagement issues ever since. This was with some pretty hard driving in...

I'm not even so much into the drags, but the AutoX in South Paddock. I'm used to a kart track for autox in Southern Oregon, so the flat track and cones are a bit of a drag.I believe they have some events at a kart track called Pat's Acres Racing Complex (PARC). I've seen mostly drifting...

Just moved to Gladstone and looking for any activity in the Portland area. I'm hoping to be able to hit PIR next month when things settle down but I'd like to meet some fellow petrol heads before then. Track time with a group is always more fun.I went to the cars and coffee near the...

You'll throw a code for the rear O2 sensor and you'll have a wider power band and higher peak power. Nothing else bad would happen other than it being a lot louder.

Strong acids will dissolve glass, but certain plastics can hold it. That's why most strong acids come in plastic containers.If you would like to speed up the process, try applying heat using electrodes. That's what's used in creating porous surfaces before plating.If you want to create an...

Also, if you're reading high on the boost gauge when idling (less vac) and high when in boost, it could just be that your gauge needle is off. Your best bet is to compare it with an actual vac and pressure pump directly.

That looks about right. From what I've seen, peak torque for the stock setup is typically around 3500-4250 and peak RPM around 5000-5500.I haven't seen many dyno sheets from stock engines that are new, though, and none that are from a new and completely Mitsu OEM.

There's actually a stock bracket that bolts under the bumper and holds the plate out front of the bumper cover directly in front of the crash beam. You could always go back to stock.Other options: you can put it in your windshield or attach it with brackets fabbed up to hold it in front of...

Is your BOV recirculated? If not, you're probably getting a lot of fuel dumped in when the BOV vents.

That sounds like it would be a major exhaust leak if you're seeing absolutely no boost.I would first pull off the O2 housing to see if you can see any cracks or serious damage to the waste gate. Also check the exhaust manifold to see any leaks at either the head or the manifold to turbo...

A single muffler would be appropriate.Is the Y pipe far enough forward that it routes the two ends to opposite sides or do they both exit at one point? There are a number of single in, dual out mufflers out there that give great flow and sound.

Sticking close to stock is the way to go. Small accents add style and class without going overboard. If you're doing road race or control adjustments then some additional aero is important, but going overboard like most kits available is just a bad idea.I'm surprised there aren't more...

Okay, real simple.To check the cams, there are marks on the side of the cam gears. You should be able to rotate the engine using a breaker bar or large ratchet on the crank center bolt until those marks line up. Then use a ruler or straight edge to make sure the marks on the outside of the...

If it does not come out, the clip is not disengaging. If the transmission is out, you can pull off the back case and as soon as you do that, it will slide right out or you can push on the back end of the output shaft.

Yeah, it's got a slight smell to it, but it's expected when you're burning a bunch of crap off dirty parts anyway.Just be sure to heat up a wide area when dealing with thick aluminum. It's hard to keep a single spot hot because of it's specific heat properties. It's used for cooling...

Don't worry about the torch, use your stove. If you turn the heat up to 450 and let it bake for 15-20 minutes, that should prep it enough.If you're using a little propane torch fitting that's pretty standard, grab some MAPP gas instead of just propane; it's the yellow can. It's kind of...

It also looks like you had good penetration on the fitting, but not the cast portion. The cast piece has so much aluminum that it's likely acting like a heat sink and pulling the heat away from where you want it.Try bringing the temp of the entire cast piece up to temp before starting and...

I swapped a '91 block into my '94. There are no immediate gains from this other than the support for the 6-bolt exceeds the support for the 1g 7-bolt. If you're looking to do a complete build, then go with the 6-bolt, while a stock engine should probably stick with the 7-bolt. It's just hard...

That is most likely the case. Ethanol mixes pretty well, so there is no concern about having it separate with other fuel. It actually will allow a small amount of water to mix with gas and can clean out a system that has had trace amounts of water seep into the fuels system.I believe the...

Be aware that if they are dropping the octane rating, then it is NOT a good idea to increase boost pressures. The octane rating is the final note that will indicate propensity for early detonation (knock).If they increase the ethanol and decrease the octane, they just aren't treating the...

It's funny that the topic has come up as a Dip at 3.5k, instead of a spike at 3k. I've always considered it an unusual increase right there. I'm guessing there is just some special efficiency difference between those two points.I noticed it much more on my old engine than my current build...

As for me, I'm switching back to TunerPro with an ostrich. A few members have created a number of definition files, base tunes, and logging definitions that allow some very fast SD modifying. It's not as pretty as Jackal was, but tuning is far more precise and easy to get into the details, not...

All previous account information has been removed. Account removal was not an accident. Some of the community has moved on, using TunerPro again, and with 35 polls per second it's amazing we weren't using it before.

It sounds to me that you're having some instability in the wiring. If you're running the original wiring to your injectors, inspect those lines for any torn, melted, or worn insulators. Likewise, check along the wire, especially at the connector, for sharp bends where the wires may have broken...

Plug in your MAF. Your wiring is loose. Or you have a massive leak after the MAF and before the turbo.

Having two views allows you to see the changes, local and global. Similar to the way changing the injector multiplier changes the scaling, we consider them different variables. In reality, changing the injector size also changes the VE table, but we don't want to see the total values there...

Compensation view takes into account the adjustments caused by changes in the Soft VE on the Hard VE tables. So if you have the soft VE at 110% and the Hard VE value for a cell is 100, then the compensation view will show 110. The greying is the button depressed to verify that compensation...

I'll have to get back to you on that. LOL! We're trying to find a way to archive the dsm-ecu yahoo group information in a more coherent form onto a database in dsmecu.com. We're researching legal issues and such to find out if it will be allowed, so we'll have to get back to you on that...

Adding rows is what we're currently considering. Even putting a reference to another table when load is valued at 12 according to stock scaling.Using the same system as is currently provided by Jackal may not be in the best interest for some users. Discussions have resumed about returning to...

The extended maps will lower the resolution. Basically, it will change the g/rev values while not changing to total number of load cells. The result would be lower resolution in the lower g/rev values, while that might not matter if the interpolation works well and there are no peaks within...

Because load is g/rev, it it won't have to do with boost. 12psi at 3k rpm is a different g/rev than 12psi at 5k rpm. That's where there is so much confusion. Some people are able to get turbo characteristics that go beyond the stock g/rev settings, regardless of the rpm/boost where it occurs.

Load based is 1-12 load, 12 being the highest load. This is a calculation performed by the ecu utilizing grams/rev and comparing any spots where it is unsure with tps. This means at idle it reads vacuum and usually about 1.5-2.5 for the load.The map sensor is scalable and several options...

We should have had this "all get along" discussion on Monday. I have a dream. When a man can be judged not by the name of his ECU program, but on the content of his dyno slips.Bastard, I'm sorry you got all butt hurt about some of the people there, but as does occur on every forum there are...

Don't bring it to the tech thread either! LOL! Just drop it, people. There are always those with opinions and it's usually based on personal ownership and validation of worth. Unless you have a degree and experience in whatever field you're claiming to be an expert in, there is no real...

We are currently working on migrating all information that was available on Jackal to the new site. Hopefully it will be available and in better searchable format by the end of the week. For now I have created a thread in the Tuning section on here for people with some basic questions. There...

This thread is intended for questions about Jackal/Werewolf. Due to recent incidents with ds-map.net, we will be addressing concerns here for a period. I can answer or direct your questions to others who can.

I appreciate that guys, as well as those who are interested in providing support.

TO provide an update on the current state of DS-Map.net, there was a dispute as to the supervision of the site. Moderators deleted and editing posts in an informal thread. The dispute lead to one person removing permissions from another moderator, who was the one who setup the hosting for the...
