    Guess who's back??...sort of...

    What's up DSMTUNERS! It's been....years since I've participated, but that's okay. Life has been very busy! Some of you older guys may remember the screen name.I opened up my dream business in 2021. Check out wingmangarage.com and/or Wingman Garage on FB/Insta to see what I've been up to. I...

    2G Prep for AutoX

    I'm just going to say it since no one else will. Do fluids, maintenance, and whatnot. Maybe tires if you want to spend the money AND THAT'S IT. Then drive your car in its stock form for as long as you can hold out. Two things will happen. 1. Learning to drive a slow car fast will provide you...

    UPDATE: 7/27/2018Hello family! Quick update here. Life is good at the moment. Wife's accepted a great new job as an NP, i'm killing it at work and we are trying to start a family. My father is still "stable" with his S4PC, but every month seems to be a little worse, which is to be expected...

    UPDATE: 1/24/2018Happy new year everyone!Sad to report that on December 15th, my wife's father lost his battle with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer (S4PC). We put him on hospice for his last week and got to spend as much time with him as possible. He's pain free and in a better place now. My...

    UPDATE: 11/28/2017Well, its been a long time! i went through the last 10 pages of my build, enjoyed the memories.Nothing new on the car front, still taking a break and keeping my eye out. There is a gentlemen about 3 minutes away from me with a 1995 GST Automatic. He needs it out of his...

    My fuse box relocation (project log)

    FWIW - I ran a cheap "eBay" Aluminum "race" radiator in my GSX when I was AutoX'ing it 24/7. I was VERY surprised as to how well it kept my coolant temps in check during some extremely hot events at Lake Erie Speedway. The speedway way bowl acts like a frying pan in the summer as the walls/etc...

    Aaron's 1997 GSX - Street/AutoX/Track Build

    Been a long time since I’ve updated my beloved build thread.March starts the 7th month since my father’s diagnosis. I wish I could say things are going well, but they aren’t. We’ll know more tomorrow as I’ll be traveling to Buffalo for his 3rd consult. Cancer sucks.In the meantime I’ve been...

    2G Radiator fans only coming on when I disconnect the temp sensor

    Just my 2 cents.I wouldn't count on the stock temp gauge to be accurate. You need to hook up a reader and get real time numbers on your coolant temp.Also, MAKE SURE your have NO AIR in the system. Sounds simple, but i've dealt with a problem like this in the past. Stupid headache.

    420A Achieving max power

    I think you need to take a step back and figure out exactly whats running the car, what parts are installed and how its all being controlled.There no reason you should be looking for max power when you don't have a good understanding of the build.Knowledge is power.

    1G This my first DSM 1991 laser RS

    Take your time and search, read, then search some more and read some more.These are all common problems with a car that's been neglected. Like already mentioned, doing some standard maintenance, a boost leak test, shaft play check, etc will probably solve a lot of your issues, and if they...

    Aaron's 1997 GSX - Street/AutoX/Track Build

    UPDATE: 10/10/2016I have been slowly purging myself of all the DSM parts I know I wont need. Its been an interesting process and after cleaning out boxes and boxes of parts, its crazy to see what one can accumulate over a decade of this sport.I had been searching for another car, just...

    Help me choose a reliable cross country vehicle

    Toyota, Toyota, Toyota....There's no reason to look at anything else.A Tacoma or a 4Runner would EASILY outlast anything on the list. My 2005 Tacoma has 190k and runs like new, pulls my DSM and trailer with ease and has never let me down.There's a reason the Tacomas/4Runners are the best...

    2G Best Coilover for Auto X and DD

    Id also go with the Feals. You get a lot for the money compared to the really expensive options. The spherical top mounts win it for me.@99ECLIPSEGSXDSM Can chime in on their awesome-ness.

    Draining is the main word. It was just a lot to do and then The ShootOut came and went. Like a great drug, then it was gone. haha.I very much appreciate words of wisdom. I've been getting a lot of support lately and it feels good.If you want more information on my custom hood, check out my...

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    Was going to say the same thing.Off season sucks, but it gives you and the car a break which is always good.I liked to catch up on maintenance, do some research and look at what people are doing with tires.

    98 TSi awd - Autocross Build

    This is awesome and brings back great memories for myself.Keep it up!AX is a hell of a drug and I think the 2g DSM can be a solid contender.

    UPDATE: 9/19/2016A lot has gone on over the last few weeks.I attended an AutoCross in my old region in Erie, PA. It was a blast! I had a great time with my old crew.However, one thing was apparent. This new racecar was not the same Wendy I was used too. Between the borrowed worn out race...

    2G Hard Starts & Bad Misfire

    Solved:The PTU plug wasn't staying connected, I zip tied it down and not she runs fine.As for the starting, still cranks very VERY slow, I believe I have a bad connection somewhere. ill be looking into it over the winter.

    1G what exactly maf do?

    You're not going to really see any measurable gains by deleting your MAF.And like already mentioned, your car is not turbo charged so spending all that time/money on a piggy back system for an NA platform isn't really going to pay off.I feel like you're over complicating the setup.

    can i put a 2ga cas on a 2gb?

    Also, the 97-99 CAS connector is different from the 95/96 CAS connector, so to it looks like ill be cutting both off and hard wiring it in.I made an extension harness last night with RED, BLUE and BLACK wires.

    can i put a 2ga cas on a 2gb?

    That makes sense, harness wise.But my EPROM is a 95/96, so wouldn't the firing order stay to that year?
  46. GofaST4life

    can i put a 2ga cas on a 2gb?

    Hate to bring back a thread from the dead, but i figure its better than starting a whole new one.I swapped a 96 7-bolt into a 98 7-bolt body/harness.If im understanding this correctly, I need to cut the plug off the harness, cut the plug off the CAS (which is under the intake cam, right?)...
