I havent finished my gsx yet, all i really have left to do is build up my 6 bolt and get a new turbo, injectors, and a fmic but my father just got done building a buick grand national/t-type and after driving it, it makes a turbo eclipse just seem blah. the turbo response is absurd, it ran an...

Hi, I just installed a turbosmart MBC and set it all the way down and took it out, hit 14 psi, was like ok guess i cant go less obviously but then i started clicking it up a bunch and no matter what I did it still stays at max of 14 and I have everything hooked up right. I have no idea what is...

Well last week I got a huge package from slowboy with tons of goodies but since I live in wisconsin ( a BS! state) I havent got to install anything!!! It has rained for the past 8 days!!!! 8 DAYS in a row all day long! If you live in wisconsin and are just and pissed as me then post up and vent...

Ok ill get right to the point, I plan on a big turbo soon but have the money now for the fmic, with most nice frontmounts it says cannot be used with anything but the downward facing turbos, but I cant stand the cruddy stock piping i have now with my leaky 2g bov, has anyone got this or a...

I just got done rebuilding my driveshaft after a year and it has been sitting ever since it went.. Since it has been sitting I have installed a 4" intake, maft, dsmlink, full exhaust, plx wideband(which isnt bunged in yet so it does me no good), and a few random things. I finally after hours of...

Alright I have searched all over and cant get a straight answer. I need to do a driveshaft rebuild cause my junk x-fer case destroyed it. Long story short I need 3 u-joints and mitsu is telling me $82 a piece, that is Bull S*** to say the least. I have never bought a u-joint over 30 bucks. Is...

Does anyone on here have a pic like the title says? I love my 2ga rear but am also in love with the turbo spoiler. A pic, or link to a pic would be a great help in my decision.

I am sending my block out to get cleaned and bored to fit the new ross pistons. My question is since cylinder #1 tends to be the hottest do I want to get the clearence in the hotter cylinders to be a little bigger to allow for a tad bit most piston expansion. I was just wondering if anyone has...

All I have to say is wow, my dad calls me from down the road and starts to yell "Pick one you want to save!!!" I get confused and then I start to hear millions of bangs on the roof, look outside and the most intense hail storm on earth is blowing through. The hail was only the size of a small...

I think im about done buying things for my eclipse, im going to put a list of everything I already have or have on the way from vendors. If you guys can think of something I may be missing for this build feel free to mention it. I can't think of what else I may need.Engine: Currently have a...

My 2g gsx is lowered 2" and I am trying to figure out which wheels to run and what size. I am leaning towards ICW 015b's. They are 17x7 with a 40 mm offset. Will these work and what size and type of tire should I go with. Any info is greatly appreciated. :thumb:

I have held off posting this for a while because I thought someone else would have posted this but... What is up with the gallery damn near 25% of the pics are just little black blocks. Im just curious to know whats up?

*Pictures are in my gallery.......I will post more once the car is 100% done. So me and my father have been building our 1979 porsche 911 for about 5 years. All new paint(Still not buffed), 930 turbo body parts, carbon Gt2 wing, suspension and well you get the point. It has been our pride and...

Just recieved my new carbon center piece and full exhaust system. Pit racing dp, 2.5" to flex.. 3" the rest of the way into a Thermal R&D that will have the tapered section cut off and rewelded into full 3". It is a great looking exhaust. I will review it more and get some sound clips once it...

Ok so I started getting alot of squeaking from under my car. Called slowboy racing and they got me set up with new carrier bearings. So now I am just rebuilding my whole driveshaft for peace of mind. However I now think it is my x-case that was making the noise. There is a nice groove where the...

Ok I have everything unbolted but not taken apart up to the transfer case. My question is can I slide the driveshaft out of the transfer case???? I have not tried yet but will tommorow. And for anyone who has done this to take the 3 piece shaft apart do you need a specialty tool to get the...

I have a 95 gsx and just purchased a thermal r&d exhaust.. With this weeks paycheck : ) I am looking for a testpipe which I have found with the flange to weld up to the thermal to eliminate that 2 1/2" section. However now im looking for a downpipe. I plan on running the Garrett t3/t4 turbo in...

Im planning on going with the tial bov and a slowboy fmic with the new build. I was just curious since I am going with the dsmlink is there a setting to vent without needing a maft? Or since the wire connection is different is the maft still needed to vent properly?

Let me start out by saying thanks to anyone that can help me out and who is willing to read this long post. And by the way my car is awd.....The problem I have been ignoring for a while is my rear end sliding out when the road is even the least bit wet. You all might jump in and say "NEW...

Alright I have been waiting almost 2 weeks now for my dsmtuners.com stickers. It can't take that long to have them send an envelope with 2 stickers in it. I need to start supporting this site already :thumb: But for real..anyone who has ordered stickers, about how long did it take to recieve...

Hey so I just got done doing the dump tube cut mod and the bcs mod. However a few days later now my car is having trouble staying at a constant rpm.... When im pass 3k and throw in the clutch my rpm goes wayy down and almost kills. It feels like the type of stalling you almost get when you vent...

I suppose you could call this a noob question but im not sure. Most of the time when my car is running I get a little tick tick tick tick. Sounds like a slowed down version of an injector pulse coming from the cams. I have only owned my car for a week or so, so I was wondering if this sound I am...

Alright so I just got done installing my a/f guage in my eclipse just to get a minimal idea of how im running and take up that 3rd spot in my pillar. I hooked everything up good. I have the ground/power/and sensor wire all tapped straight in to the ecu in all the correct terminals. But here is...

From what I have seen and read almost every eclipse running high hp or just damn good times is running the tial bov. However I have never heard what the tial sounds like. Im in the market for a bov and was just curious if anyone has a video or sound clip of the tial. I have never heard it and...

I am going to begin the process of building up my GSX and have always wanted to go with a t3/t4 turbo for the street. I recently found a t3/t4 model that does not need a manifold replacement. It is called the Garrett T04B v-trim.. i havent really heard alot about this turbo. It is great that it...

Just picked up my 1995 gsx and on the ride home my rear bushings went and the car was like driving a car on an icerink. But that problem has been solved already with a new set of bushings.. However the car when it is in 3rd 4th or 5th if i press the gas pedal in more than 30% it just jerks...

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase a 3' test pipe that looks like a Cat. Basically a cat with a 3' pipe running straight through it. I know I have seen them befor, hopefully someone in here can tell me where to pick on up..Thanks :dsm: :thumb:

I am noticing that OEM carbon hoods range from 300 to over 500.. What causes the price shift besides a little quality. All I want is one that will line up good with not alot of excess gaps..Anyone reccomend any nice carbon hoods? :dsm: :thumb:

Well I just picked up a black 95' GSX 5 speed for $3500. hella good price. i think the guy bought a new car and just wanted some cash to play with. I was in the right place at the right time. But anyway I was just wondering what parts I should replace and check at around 130,000 miles.. Yeah its...

Hey guys im finally after 6 years have the money to go pick up a dsm this weekend or next week. I have been researching these cars for years and feel like I have already owned 10 of them. Im a good mechanic but since im in college the budget will be tight for mods.. Prolly around 2000. My...
