Any update?

I have a multimeter....used it a few times :/. When I was 17 I didn't even know how to change a headlight let alone trace down a wiring problem....fast forward to know and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. So anyway to sum this up....it was just a thought, no I didn't have a problem, let's...

I was 17, and it would cost more to trace down a wiring problem than what the car was worth, so in this situation I don't see it being unreasonable.

Do you have a wiring schematic of the vehicle? Where did you relocate your fuse boxes to? Check all the simple stuff first... good battery voltage, all grounds are connected, the thick gauge power wires are connected to the fuse blocks, all fuses are good. Take your multimeter (red) to the...

^ Yes i knew this was coming. Im not having any MPI Issues, was just a wandering thought. Back when I was in high school my first car had a problem with the cooling fans not coming on when they were supposed to. Couldn't track down the reason why (86 Dodge Aries LMAO!) so we wired a switch to...

So ive been tinkering around with my GST lately and replaced the battery tie down and tray when i saw the fuel pump testing connector. It got me thinking, for people who have had a problem with the MPI Relay/ Fuel pump issues: Has anyone ran a 12V Switch to it to put constant power to it instead...

Started back at it once the shop was done and operational. I was fed up with thinking about having to mess with the intercooler piping and ordered a VSRF 1g Front Mount.I also had a lot of time to ponder the old car when it was running and remembered everything that annoyed me about it...

Hey! You know my business partners lol!!! Yes his lambo is in the garage getting a massage every night before he goes to bed. The GTR just got put away for the winter also.

You can pick up a cheap mishimoto slim fan and universal mount kit for around 70 bucks. The nice thing is you can mount it on the back side of the radiator and use it as a push style if you reverse the wiring.

So I mentioned that a little building project got in the way of this car project, we went from this shop (with random action shots!!! lol):To this!!!! :):):):)I actually have a showroom!!!!!!

So I started off installing the gauges first, idk why, maybe thats where i would stop and possibly have a running car still lol? Who knows. Anyway it was pretty straight forward. I soldered and shrink tubed every connection... ran color coded wires....grommeted firewall passages, ran all wires...

Yeah it turned out to be a bust, nothing lined up, i thought there was possibly a pipe missing. Either way i scratched it as a whole and went with a different/ complete kit.

Hey guy! No offense taken. Plastidip is meant for people who meticulously maintain their vehicle. For the daily driver who washes it once every other week, not gonna happen. Also, its SUPER durable so if applied correctly (wash vehicle with dish soap, IPA entire vehicle, Spray 5 minimum even...

I probably should have done a lot more How-To threads and taken alot more pictures but that wasn't on my mind ATM. Really, it should be more rather how-not-to, cause it would be alot more educational. Regardless charged ahead with out one single clue what I really wanted to do and BOOM! here we...

FINAL PRODUCT!!!!Pics of it outside after a 24Hr cure!Like I said in the earlier posts, the windows got some mad tintz yo! Big Tim just slaving away!Looks proper now minus said bumper....DAMMIT!!!!Sorry for the poor quality:So at this point, I was driving...

So I was planning on sourcing a new front bumper when we originally dipped this car so it was left off for painting. Since they were nearly impossible to find in decent shape I ended up just fixing the stock one. Of coarse this was after the fact of me dipping the car so there is a lack of...

The cars paint is trashed with sundamage obviously, except for the black top! Super surprised that it wasnt spider cracked or oxidized to the point beyond no return. So I put a wheel on it to see if I can save it!! Paint Correction FTW!Picture After It Was Washed! Notice How Oxidized!!!Just...

The cv shafts will function just like a u-joint. Grab the middle shaft area and the threaded area where the spindle nut goes and try to twist them back and forth (kinda of like if you were screwing a lid on a jar on and off) and see if you feel any play. If it feels solid than there good and...

Hey guys! Ive had this car for a little while now and have a build thread started on a local site but i figured posting on here would make sense, and be more enjoyed by all! I will update as the days go on from the beginning and ramp you up to where we are at now (kinda like a movie premier...

Nice Find!! Especially for the price. My only suggestion, since your a college student and have high hopes for this car, dont replace what you dont have to. Alot of parts on these cars are either "they work or they dont" reguardless of how they look. A can of Break Kleen and some semi gloss...

Considering most DSM's are in their garage and unable to move....I have a feeling this will be 24 hours as well haha. Someone Prove Me Wrong!!!!

Diggin the whole build man. Love it! Cant wait to finish mine up this winter!

Man....again nothing. Ok I'll go easy. YOUR DSM VIEW FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT (cool scenery a plus)

Haha! Yeah i know, my painter just slapped them on real quick to move the car around when i took the picture. Those rims/tires are long gone! But thanks!!! Look for a project log really soon.

+1 I went thru 4 Duracrap alternators that all "tested" good. The problem is the testers the big box auto part stores use dont test the regulated output they just test for output alone. I would go with a used OEM alternator tested good over another one from autozone, orileys ect... again.

24 Hrs again! Dang it.... YOUR (ANY) DSM GETTING PULLED OVER

This is gonna look like Spanish to him, unless he speaks Spanish and then it will look like ancient Hebrew.Step one: Turn the key to ON - this is the click right before your car would crank over. While Vehicle is on - turn off radio, heater/AC (the knob that works the fan), windshield...

End of a dirt road, but dirt nonetheless!!Picture of YOUR DSM AND YOUR MOTHER!!!!

I dont know if its an eprom ecu or not. I never checked. probably should have when I wired in the SAFC. was out tuning a little with it last night and I cant get enough fuel out of the 1g Rewired fuel pump... so ill be installing my wally this weekend. I really need to order the FuelLab AFPR kit...

You only want to gap the Hi/LOW throttle settings by 1% (example: Low 50% - Hight 51%) if your wiring in a pressure sensor and running the SAFC off of a boost reading instead of throttle position. Otherwise this is pretty far off from the way to do it for a DSM.This is how i set mine up and...

Thank god we have 93 octane readily available everywhere here! I already have the wideband installed and have a decent base tune down right now running only wastegate pressure. One thing I forgot to add was I have done a fuel pump rewire. I was going to shoot for 18psi, and i think that will be...

Getting ready to up the boost on my car and im just wondering what is a safe level of boost to run without pushing it beyond its limits. Not looking for anything suoer conservative but dont wanna push the limits as well. Ive done all maintainence needed and checked the compression and made sure...

This is the first time i did a timing belt on a 1g, and honestly, I think everybody over exaggerates how difficult it actually is to do. I feel that alot of the intimidation of doing this job on your own is because everyone makes a big deal out of it. Start to finish took about 4 hours total...

Dont quote me on this.... but i believe certain year 2g's have a ball joint recall. yes i know its 2013, and im not sure of the stipulations, but that could save you a little coin to address the rest of the stuff. If you have a dodge dealer around have them check your vin #. thats where I had...

If you have a quick way of doing this, check your timing. I just had this same issue, found out I jumped timing.

Timing belt and pulleys installed and aligned!!! WOOOHOOO its fixed! Idles perfect.... 18 vac on the boost gauge, tuned it last night just to wastegate pressure and feels solid! Did a compression check and its +- 5psi across all cylinders! Thanks for all the input!

So I decided to look in a random box of spare parts I've collected over the years to see if I had anything in there I could use: wowTiming belt installed tomorrow and hopefully get it tuned!!

I think everyone with the timing reply was dead nuts on... Here is what the crank and oil pump sprockets look likeAnd here's the cam gears!!!How did I not destroy something????

Why cant i see any of the pictures? Is there something im missing lol

Here is a video of my boost gauge, wideband, and rpm's at idle to give you guys a little better feel of whats going on. Its loud cause im running open downpipe at the moment. The jump in RPM's is when i stab the gas a little bit to see if it would sputter and stall.....but it stayed running.

Did you possibly pop any kind of fuse doing this? Did you disconnect the battery? Is the car modded? Why did you replace just 1 injector cap?......kinda chasing a needle in a haystack with your brief description pal

Gonna Check timing this weekend. Would that have any effect on why my high throttle settings are needing to be almost at +30?

Update:Did the rewire and have the low throttle settings pretty dialed in. AFR's switching steady between 14.0-15.0 during cruise. But now heres the kicker.... at WOT - in order for me to get the afr's to 11.5:1 my settings are at +28!!!!!!!!! WTF! fuel pressure has to be shit, so im gonna...

It doesnt sound like it running on 3...but its like intermittently hesitating, definitely not smooth. I have triple checked the vacuum lines and i swear they are all good, but it doesnt help to look again. What else other than a vacuum leak would cause the idle to be so out of whack?NGK 1...

Its a brand new TB, nothing needs to be adjusted because its completely rebuilt to OEM specs

Video in post 13To start im very aware of the idle issues these vehicles have and this isnt one of those typical problems. Ill list my mods first:16g turbo SAFC MTXL Wideband FMIC 1g BOV Recirc'd 2g MAF 550cc RC's BRAND NEW Throttle Body w/ FIAV Bypass and NEW IAC from...

I have a 1g with 550's 2g MAF MTXl Wideband and an safc 2.... im getting ready to start tuning but i need to figure out what i can use to read fuel trims with? Everyone and their brother is using DSMLink but i am just keeping this car simple and using what i already have. If i cant display fuel...

What is your wideband reading out at idle for "lean".10:1 is rich so yes thats a good thing but you wanna be around 11:1 at full boost, assuming you were at 16psi at WOT as you stated earlier. As long as it stays no less than 11.5:1 DURING BOOST AT WOT that is ok.The leaky injector...

baxter you know i dont speak spanish

lol i know i sound like a lazy f**k but ive been putting the rest of the car together. Ive read the how to for the rewire, and literally have the wally sitting in a box in the car, so theres really no excuse. At this point im just kinda wondering what the stock pump is capable of?I doubt...
