    16g questions

    Is it a real MHI 16g or a knock off. Low boost could be caused by a large boost leak or something is up with the wastegate. The wastegate actuator could be shit if its a knock off turbo, or it could be stuck open. There are a number of issues that could cause this. Start with a boost leak test...

    General What the preferred Wideband in 2020?

    I just upgraded from an AEM UEGO to MTX-L Plus this week, hands down love the new wideband, logs way faster and more accurate.

    2G Dsm gs, gst, or gsx

    The front bumper tells me this car is a 95 or 96 how ever the CAS is on the left side of the valve cover, the 95 and 96 CAS is under the cam gear, this car has either been motor swapped or CAS swapped. You will need to do your homework on this on before you buy it. This car is not a stock car.

    New Product Testing: DSM Stock Replacement

    Monday!!! Such a tease lol. At least it will be a solid write up and not just numbers spit out that have no real i formation behind them. Looking forward to Monday.

    Slow to start with bigger injectors

    One thing to remember is if you have an out dated version of dsm link the fuel pump does not turn on with the key, you have to click the starter before the fuel pump will start. But if you update your dsmlink to the newest update you will get the option to have the pump prime with the key in the...

    GVR-4 what's my next step to start boosting up?

    I highly recommended that you decide on a horsepower goal and how you plan to use the car. Be realistic as to what you want to do. The worst thing you can do is start throwing mismatched parts at your car expecting big numbers and not blowing the car up. 550cc injectors with a fp black on a...

    Dont forget to upgrade the fuel pump.

    Unknown part of blow off system

    Looks like someone put a boost controller on the blow off valve. What is it tied in to on the other side?

    2G First time dsm 2g owner in Baton Rouge

    Maintaince before performance. Get all of the service work done before you start modifying stuff. You want a healthy car before a fast car.

    Opinions

    That all depends, is this strictly a race car or a DD? If it's the daily keep the interior. If it's a race car and your trying to make fast passes then strip it out.

    2G T3/T4 install

    I wouldn't even run a T3/T4 these days. There are better turbo options out now that have better spooling characteristic. What is your house power goals for the car and what are you planning to use it for?

    ECMlink Breaking up under boost?

    On your check list for boost leaks you put no noticable leaks, have you done a proper boost leak test? If not then that's where you should start. The tester is cheap enough to buy or make. No since in even try tuning the car until you are 100% sure there are no boost leaks.

    DSMers in Lacey/Olympia area?

    I'm waiting until 2020 to get new tags on my car. My car wont pass DEQ either, but as of 1/1/2020 washington is done with emissions testing. Oh I cant wait, glad my talon is not my DD.

    2G Single line catch can

    Try searching dsm PCV system, there is a very nice detailed write up about how the PCV on these cars work and how you should modify them if needed. Right now it sounds like yours most likely is wrong, but once you read up on it you will know for sure. Good luck!

    Will this setup work?

    Your on the right track. Ditch the unknown Chinese turbo and get the 16g. I'm not familiar with the evo 8 ecu as I run dsmlink. Maybe someone that knows that ecu can chip in on its tuning capabilities. Get a working boost and afr gauge. Do all of the maintenance like timing belt water pump etc...

    Best part about owning a DSM?

    When I see another DSM in my area I get so excited because they are so rare. But at the same time it makes me sad because they are usually non turbo and beat up and makes me realize how much our platform has died out. But at least I can say I have one of the nicer talons in my area.

    Best DSM Craigslist post of the day

    While I'm not a fan of what happened to this car I respect the amount of effort that went into the build, definitely unique. Still wouldn't buy it though.

    1G '91 AWD won't rev beyond 5500 rpm

    I had a similar issue with a previous 95 gst and found the cams jumped a tooth throwing the cam position sensor off. Would rev fine up to around 5k just fine but after that it would start to miss fire and not rev any higher.

    2G Small 16g stock fuel pump & injectors

    my understanding fuel cut has nothing to do with AFR, it is based on how much air the maf is reading. If airflow passes the factory programmed safe level it cuts fuel. When at WOT the ecu does not monitor AFR and relays on the maf to tell it how much air is coming in and uses a X amount of fuel...

    2G 1995 eclipse gst wont idle

    Start with the basic. Make sure you are getting fuel, spark and timing is correct. Report back with your findings.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    I updated my ecmlink v3 firmware. Having the fuel pump kick on with the key is amazing. So much easier to start the car after it's been off for awhile.

    How are you metering your AFR? Do you still have a front 02 or are you simulating it?

    1G Fixing the s90 throttle body

    I must be lucky, I just installed a 74mm s90 on my car yesterday and it BLT tested to 30psi with no leaks. How much pressure has this TB you have been leaking at?

    1G PC680 how do you have yours wired up?

    Hey I just got this setup for my 2g on xmas eve. The only suggestion to clean up the factory wiring is look for places to reroute and tuck it, or find a wire loom you like. I plan to move the negative to the body down to the bottom of the fire wall behind the battery and tuck all of the positive...

    Not good

    From my experience black plugs usually means your car is running really rich. I don't see a wideband on your profile, get one as soon as you can if you don't have one. A compression and leak down test is always a good idea.

    How I modded my 8AN fuel rail

    I like the fact that it doesn't leak, and the fuel lines are easy to get on and off with the an fittings. Zero performance increase since I wasn't over running the factory rail. But it looks pretty.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Pulled intake manifold off and mocked up my new JMF street SMIM, and bought more parts to finish the install.

    20G with crazy manifold/WG/02

    That is making my eyes bleed. Look at those welds, laying some dimes lol. Scrap that thing and do it right. I wouldn't trust that to work properly.

    My guess is someone swapped a 3 cylinder from a 80's Ford fiesta into his car!!!

    **OFFICIAL PNW DSM Sightings Thread!**

    Not dead but not as active as it once was. This thread needs to come back though. I'm in the PNW and I get sad when I don't see fellow dsmers. Where did you all go?

    How I modded my 8AN fuel rail

    Props for the customization work. I'm lazy and found it easier to just order an aftermarket fuel rail. Didn't need the upgrade but the factory rail was cracked so I figured why not.

    2G Noob turbo question

    Looks like your off to a good start. If you haven't already I highly recommend you do all of your maintenance before you start to upgrade. Especially the timing belt. On these cars they need to be done every 65k miles. Last thing you want is to put a bunch of money into go fast bits and have a...

    2G Noob turbo question

    First off set up your profile so we know what you have. Without knowing what is done to the car it's hard to say what turbo to go with. With that said im going to assume your car is close to factory, go with the 16g if you feel the need to upgrade the turbo already. Stay running stock boost...

    95 tsi Awd grinding noise when starting

    Had the car been swapped from auto to manual or the other way around. If so they have different starter alignment plates that must be swapped also, if not check the starter bolt holes for ware.
