So, this is a weird problem. We just did a head gasket on our high school shop gsx and after we finished it now only cranks for a split second and then the starter disengages. It does it consistently. If we try again it will crank for a split second (less than one second) and then the starter...

Hello All,I wanted to make a new thread for a new problem.You can follow some of our old stuff HERECurrent situation- 6bolt block, 2ga head, DSMlink v2.When the car is running (1500rpm is where it stays), I can pull the injector harness off for cylinders 2 or 3 with little to no...

Hello all,We wanted to start a new thread for our high school shop project that has been sitting for the last half year. You can see our old threads here and here.We have the car turning on now. We've got our timing correct and we have good compression on all cylinders now. Today when we...

Ok, so I have searched and searched, but I just don't have a peace about the firing order. The engine doesn't run right and I want to be sure.Some of you may remember our GHS project car threads. This is a high school build. So, we've got a 6 bolt block, a 2ga head, a Kiggly crank sensor...

We're going to be testing our GHS school shop car again today. Planning to follow the instructions here- https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/boost-leak-test-how-to-with-boostpro-net-tester.169435/#post-151299069That said, we have a small tester that will work on our 2.25" throttle body elbow...

Hey guys, curious how you would skin this cat?My students cracked the line coming from our 1995 gsx fuel sending unit, where it sits on the tank. I've already cut, bent, and flared a piece of 3/8 tubing to replace the broken one, but I need to figure out how I want to attach it. We've got...

I'm not sure why, but after getting our high school project car back together for the first time since last year (we did a head gasket on it) the ISCposition on ECMlink is greyed out. I've done it before. Any ideas? I wanted to get my BISS set.

So, I have all of the vacuum ports on the throttle body blocked off, but had the hoses still there. I noticed boost pressure coming from a hose. Turns out there was boost pressure leaking out of the egr valve actuator. Now, if I plug that with my finger, it obviously opens the egr because all my...

Hey all,So, we've got our high school shop car finally running and premsumably boost leak free. (We will check once again for boost leaks, we may have a small on at the throttle body, but they we're mostly handled a while back.) So, if you've seen our other threads, we've got a 95 gsx, 880...

We're making progress on our Grandview High School project GSX. Kiggly Racing hooked us up with an AEM XS-series Uego wideband gauge.Our plan was to just replace the front o2 with the wideband gauge and then simulate the narrowband signal with DSMlink, but we only have V2. Is that only...

For those of you who have followed some of our posts over the last two years, the Grandview High School 95 GSX turned on today and idled for the first time. And now we continue trying to figure things out.Backstory- We picked it up from a town over for $1k. Stripped interior (a new parts GST...

So, we're ALMOST at the point to start up our 95 gsx project we have been working on. You can find our other posts. All that said, the WONDERFUL people at Kiggly Racing offered to sponsor us and help us with the cost on a few needed parts. We know that we will need wideband, but fuel has always...

So, to start, I have read this thread and there was a LOT of good info. I'm suspecting it to be the CAS, but wanted to start a new thread. Hopefully have some concise info for future people, but also, my scenario is a bit different, so in case we need help, I wanted to hook up with a few of you...

Hello All,It's be almost 2 years, but our 1995 GSX might be running soon. We've got a 2g head on a 6 bolt block. We haven't gotten everything on yet, but thus far I've noted that we have fuel, but no spark.So, we're running a 1995 head. Is that possible? I cannot run a 1g CAS on that. How...

So, I cannot find where to order the ROUND rear cam seal (back left) anywhere. All I can find thus far is the semi circle one. Anyone know where to look? Or what to tell the people at Oreilly's?

We're putting an engine back in that we didn't take out. There are three white (what I assume are) ground wires coming out of the wiring harness. Where do they go to?

So, for a high school shop project we've been building a gsx. 1995 GSX. We have the shortblock from a 1992 Galant VR4 in it. All that said, we put the 2g head on the 1g block. Our old 2g block and 1g head got stolen. Right now we have a hole in the back passenger side of the head where I'd...

Hey all, Grandview High School shop teacher here. So, we've got a cool gsx build going on. A 3000gt vr4. Some muscle cars. Other stuff too. But I wanted to hear YOUR thoughts. What skills/tasks would you teach a total newbie first? I've got a lot of the book work stuff all planned out, but I...

Hey there,We're working on our high school class project gsx. We inherited a basket case, so we weren't able to make a lot of observations before it was all apart. I've been reading lots of threads, but we still have a few questions. Summer is almost here so we're trying to just get our...

So, I've got a SAFC Neo v1.02. Found out today that it needs a reflash if under v1.04 because they had issues with the karmen sensor. Anyway, I also have a SAFC II laying around. Does anyone know if it had these problems? I was considering tossing it in there while I ship out my Neo for the reflash.

So, I got a new MMCD logging cable. This one is USB and goes to a laptop. My old one went to an actual Palm.When I rev the engine, it "pauses" and stops logging. I can't do any hard pulls and keep a log going.Ideas?

So, right off the bat, I want to confess that this is for my 1992 3000GT Vr4. I've been working with people on the 3si forums, but there is a huge wealth of knowledge on the DSM forums and I wanted to see if I could get help here as well.Situation- We have determined that the ECU is not...

So, I am putting back a motor that I never ran. Doing some custom stuff. I've rebuilt 3 4g63 engines, but all close to stock before. I am putting a 2g head on a 6 bolt block. The head came with aftermarket cams. I have never been able to positively identify them. It also had same small washers...

What's the name of the part for the balance shaft "plug" when removing them? I jsut want to pick up that plug from Oreilly's. Can I just give them the part number?MD092785 Balance shaft cap (plug)

Took out my lifters on a 1g gsx motor. Noticed little washers underneath. I don't remember those on my gvr4 rebuild, nor the couple of 3000gt rebuilds I did (yes, different engine, but the same lifters).1- is that normal?2- How in the works do you get them out!!! I need a smaller magnet I...

Tell me how this plan sounds. For out Grandview High School DSM project (see the build page for more info), we've got a Holset hy35, and have been told that this turbo (that we inherited) can be good for 30psi+ of boost. We also inherited a Tial F38 wastegate. It ha a large blue, 14.5psi, spring...

We've got a PlasmaCAM at our high school metal shop. For our project car, is there any reason why we shouldn't try cutting out our own main girdle? How thick of steel would it need to be? We may not want to take the extra time for this, but we've got all the tools here to do it.

So, you can check our profile for more info, but our high school shop program is trying to get this 2g DSM back on the road. We got it not running with a bunch of mods. Right now, we're pulling the motor and planning on using the 6 bolt we had laying around. We have no 1g intake/exhaust parts...

We're building an engine for our school project. Our 7 bolt motor is not looking too hot. We've got a 6 bolt ready for a rebuild. That said, we weren't trying to spend a ton of money on this. I don't think we need all forged internals (though it'd be nice).What's the cheapest reliable piston...

I posted about this a while back, mixed in with other stuff, but our school shop DSM project has some issues.When cranking the engine over, you heard some very unhappy internal engine noises. That said, they're almost nonexistent when there are no plugs installed. Or a compression gauge for...

Our high school shop project came to use with an ECU that is labelled (and the seller said) that it has dsmlink v2, and is already flashed to run on our car. We haven't gotten the car running yet, but all I have is the box, the ecu, the DSMlink cd, but no cable.What cable do we need to buy...

Hello all,So, maybe you've seen our Newbie thread on our Grandview High School project, but we're working on getting a 95 gsx back on the road. It came with many mods, but most importantly, DSMlink v2. That said, I want to start training a small group of kids up to learn how to tune. What I'd...

gijoe985 submitted a new DSM Profile :Grandview High School DSM ProjectRead more about this vehicle here...

I just wanted to start a thread on behalf of the new car I got for our high school auto shop program. I'm the teacher. I've owned some DSMs before, never went crazy modifying them, but I used to spend a lot of time reading on these forums. I just picked up a car today. Don't even know that much...

I have a knock count of 43 whenever I am in the throttle. Free rev or on highway. I can hear a tick when I rev the engine. It is coming from the upper end. I have my cams off. Cams are in spec, my brand new 3rd gen lifters are all pumped up. Could it be rockers? Ideas?

So, I bought a Gvr4 with a blown motor, I replaced the long block, now I'm trying to track down a knock problem. After a test run today, I think it could be a boost leak, but last check I did was ok. I did just replace the lower injector seals since there was a small leak there.Anyway, the...

I believe I have narrowed down my problem to the ECM, but I wanted to verify it first because my ECM just got back from ECMtuning a little while ago and I didn't want to send it back to them for nothing.1992 Galant Vr4.Was running fine. We swapped the cruise control system back in that...

So, I've got my motor back in my new galant vr4. I had to swap in a new motor. Anyway, it was leaking before, and it is still leaking now. I looks like it is leaking coolant, but it seems to be coming from where the oil return line comes out of the turbo (to go to the oil pan). Can that be...

So, I've got a rebuilt motor in my newly acquired galant vr4. Right now, MMCD is showing know when I rev the engine in neutral. I have not driven it yet. I'll get knock counts up to 40.I just got the ECU back from being rebuilt by ECMtuning, so I know that it is good. Anyway, MMCD is also...

I noticed on a turbo I acquired that the metal housing of the wastegate actuator is cracked.1) I assume that it will not function like this, correct me if I am wrong?2) I know where I could snag an actuator off of a 9b turbo from a 3kgt. Are they the same? Probably not, but I figured it'd...

I may pick up a 97 GSX missing the motor and accessories. I have a 6 bolt motor, but was wondering, if I need to search junk yards, what cars can I steal accessory pumps off of? Radiator and fan too I guess...

So, I popped open the ECU on my new Galant Vr4 (which was having some funny lean issues) and I found some ECU problems. Only it was not the capacitors that regularly go. I've successfully replaced those capacitors before on another ecu.As you can see from the pictures, it is that black...

I have a steady reading of .03v from my o2 sensor. Just got the car and put in a new motor. It does not go up or down at all. I get high knock counts when I rev the engine up high. The irony is that I have the same problem in my 3kgt vr4 as well. Two different vr4s, both with steady .03v...

Anyone have a recommendation for an AFPR for around or under $100? Or is that unrealistic. I've seen some APFRs for around that price. Looks like I could find an Aeromotive one for that price if I do some searching.Anyway, I have done some searching, but I was just looking for a personal...

I've been searching, but haven't found a definitive answer.Aside from wheel selection, how would 5 lugs help with brake selection over 4 lug on my gvr4 (or other dsms for those searching)?I had been reading up on possibly doing a 3kgt big brake upgrade and that's when the whole 4 vs 5 lug...

So, I am pulling my engine and I need the halfshafts out. I have removed the nut from the low control arm where it attaches to the knuckle and I am not able to separate the two. And to make it clear, I've used a pickle fork with a hammer, a pickle fork on my air hammer, I've used the appropriate...

I am pretty certain that I know the answer, but can't really find a thread with any confirmation.I have a 92 GVR4. Just got it, so learning new stuff as I go. I've only had 2g DSMs up to this point.I am doing engine work and was pulling things off and I came to realize that I have a...

So, I know that with an increase in fuel pressure, you can effectively increase the amount your injectors can flow. A calculator I used gave that 450cc injectors at 43psi = 550cc(ish) at 65psi. I also know that as pressure increases, the pumps ability to flow decreases. So, even though the pump...

So, I am a decent welder and thought about making my own catback stainless exhaust. My only problem is that it appears that the price of stainless pipe is more expensive than just buying it off ebay. Am I looking in the wrong places? I only priced out metal online so far. Haven't called the...

So, I am getting a 92 galant vr4. Previous owner blew the motor. He did a lot of nice suspension mods, but seems like he strapped on an ebay 16g with no other supporting mods. Anyway, I've owned a few awd dsms, but never a galant. Always 2gs too. Anyway, those I did not mod a ton, but enjoyed...
