Been having an issue with car randomly leaning out, sputtering, and occasionaly dies. I have been battleing this for months now and cant resolve it. The car always dies after inital cold start, and when it does fire it leans right out and if i dont blip the throttle it will die. Once warm it...

Well once again(4th time now) my wastegate springs are shot in my TiAL 38mm mvs. Once again in less than 500 miles.:notgood: So I have now had around 2000 miles on this gate and 4 time the springs were cooked and collapsed and 1 time the diaphragm was also blown apart. I havnt taken it off the...

Like the title states, I get my fuel trims in line one day, the next day I get in the car, warm it up, and fuel trims are way off. I am constantly having to re tune idle and cruise. Is this normal expectations for speed density? Should I just tune it and leave it? The car runs fine its just the...

I recently replaced my BISS since I had a leak there. Since replacing it, everytime I log on link v3 the ISC # starts at 60 and counts down every couple seconds untill reching 0, no matter what adjustment I do to the biss, the ISC value remains on 0, and it should be 30 from what I've always...

I had a leak on my filter to rail line so i replaced the entire setup from tank to rail with a fuel lab filter. Since the install the car will buck and sputter, lean right out and almost die when first pulling away and eventually will pick up after a few seconds and pull strong. If I do a pull...

Back in the end of May this year, I had a brand new Tial MVS 38mm external gate with o2 housing from punishment. Less than 500 miles later, I got a "no boost"problem. Turns out after checking everything and finally pulling the turbo, that the wastegate spring had infact heated up from all the...

I currently have a Turbonetics T04E 57 trim with a bolt on housing. I have an opportunity to get a holset HX35 for next to nothing and was curious if my exhaust housing would be able to be used as a bolt on for the holset. Kind of difficult to tell from the only pic i have at the moment (I...

Hey guys, recently installed my SD stuff minus the IAT sensor, did a little basic tune just want some input and points/adjustments. I see that I am close to maxing out the 650's so I have some shopping to do in the future, but for now, pointers and input please as SD is new to me, this is my...

I ordered the sd bundle from ecmlink with the plug n play sd cable a while back. Finally hooked map sensor up, followed all instructions on link website for setup, but car wont start. Only way it will start is if in mafcomp tab i set base maf to "stock" I dont have stock maf hooked up anymore as...

Is there a special trick to getting a Tial mvs wastegate off of the o2 housing?? I had to pull my manifold and turbo to get at my wastegate, I removed the vband clamps, beat the piss out of it with a rubber hammer, pulled, pryed, I've tried everything, its almost as if the stupid thing is...

Allright heres the scoop, installed a turbonetics 57 trim a few weeks back with punishment o2 housing with tial 38mm mvs wastegate. Have the mbc turned right down and just running off gate pressure (17psi) and everything has been boosting nicely. So I jack my car up, change the oil and notice...

Strange thing happened yesterday, I did an oil change on my car and noticed that the rubber cap I had on the boost source nipple on my intercooler pipe had a split in it. Even with the split it was boosting 20psi no problem, so I put a new cap on it and now I cant get past 5psi. I have the Tial...

Finally bolted on my Turbonetics 57 trim and punishment Tial gate and o2 housing...but now my downpipe does not line up with the housing so it needs to go to a muffler shop. Will it be ok for the 5 min drive to the shop not connected? I dont want to melt anything from the heat of the ehaust and...

I plan on getting a punishment o2 housing with a tial external wastegate. The turbo I will be using is a Turbonetics 57 trim. I dont know too much about this turbo and googling leads me to alot of honda forums. I pm'd justin and without being able to physically measure wheel diameters all he...

Hey guys, I picked up a turbonetics 57 trim the other day that is dsm flanged and was wondering if anybody knows if there is an adaptor for an external wastegate that can be bolted between the turbo and the mani? The wastegate flapper is extremely welded on the 57 trim and I only just bought a...

Has anybody heard of "Real Street Performance"? I stumble upon this seller on ebay and they have alot of brand name stuff like garrett, pte, and turbonetics for a seemingly good price, like this precision 5431 50trim turbo with Tial Q bov and Tial 38mm wastegate for $1000...is this a good turbo...

Hey smart guys, just wanting some recommendations on what a good cam would be for my set up, current mods are obx tubular mani, ported megan racing o2 to 3" downpipe-exhaust, apexi intake, Punishment front mount, greddy type rs bov, FIC 650's, 190lph waly, exedy stage 2 racing clutch, prolite...

Just wondering if anybody has bought off of this company on ebay? They have ligit 16g, 18, 20g mhi turbos along with alot of other authentic turbos and they are reasonably priced ($550 for a 16G) I was wondering if anyone has tried the 60-1 turbo they sell made from a Japanese company Kinugawa...

So I threw my boost leak tester on today and found I had 1 leak at an intercooler coupler, one at the bov flange and one at throttle body, before checking for leaks my mbc was set at 22 psi, I fixed all the leaks and now all of a sudden its boosting to 30+ (I say plus because the gauge only goes...

so I'm pretty sure my front o2 is dead, it reads 0v at WOT everytime, and gas mileage has gone to sh%t...any recommendations for new front o2? I have a wideband in the rear already...thanx

Hey guys, I searched and could not find what I'm looking for, I'm looking for fairly well detailed instructions for WOT tuning with v3 link (I have v3 lite) I installed 650's, and just put in my 190lph waly today, I have my idle tune perfect, afr's 14.7 area, combined fuel trim -.5-1% airflow...

So I installed fic 650's today, did basic tune, got afr's close to 11.1 @ around 19-20 psi of boost,still have a little knock to get rid of, I want to run 22-23psi but everytime I turn it up I get crazy knock. My timing is already low as is, most of it being 7-10 deg and everything I read says...

Hey guys I made my first log and wanted some input on how it looks and what adjustments I need to make. I'm new to ecmlink so I need a bit of guidance, I posted on ecmlink forums but got no response so here I amedit: I have since gotten some good responses and advice on ecmlink forums

hey guys, I just hooked up my aem uego and ecmlink today and my idle afr is 16.2 ish. How do I go about achieving 14.7 with link? I searched on ecmlink forums, read as much as I could find but came up short, I even watched the demo videos but in all of them they were already stoich...need helps...

hey guys, I'm installing my aem uego wideband today and i was going to put it in the rear o2 bung. Well I'm seeing that my rear o2 sensor is after my downpipe, is this too far away for the wideband? hopefully not as where I live usually it takes 2 days to get into a muffler shop and I am going...

Hey guys, I just recieved my eprom ecu and ecmlink v3, I've been getting a little mixed instructions on installing it, ecmlink instruction pretty much say, install eprom ecu, wire in wideband, plug in and go, yet after searching I been reading that your supposed to switch plugs wires around and...

I recently bought injectors from a guy in the classifieds, I am in Canada he is in the u.s, he sent the injectectors but they got sent back saying they would not pass customs due to residue in the injectors. Is there anyway to remove fuel residue so they can clear customs or am I screwed on...

Hey, looking into getting wideband, has anybody tried this wifi aem wideband/egt deal?? If so, how do you like it?:confused:http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=23266&cat=746&page=1

Hey guys, just wondering, should I go with a 3" gm maf with translator gen2, or safc with a data logger? I need a temporary light tune untill I can eventualy buy dsmlink v3 with an eprom ecu. Another question, I'm looking into getting injectors, would 650's be too much for my 190lph waly? or...

Does anybody have a stock recuirc tube they are willing to part with? Mine split a long time ago and I been running without one for a few years with no negative side effects besides running a little rich (no idle issues or stalling) but now I recently installed hard intercooler pipes and decided...

quick question, I picked up hard intercooler pipes and was wondering if I need to put a gasket between the throttle body and the throttle body elbow, I did some searching have not yet read anything about a gasket being needed but when I tried to search google for info I got alot of gaskets for...

I'm looking at getting a maf translator and gm mafs, should I go with a 3" or 3.5"? I currently have nothing to tune with and dont really have $$ for dsmlink etc. Current mods are ported Evo 3 Big 16G, ported megan racing o2 housing,megan 3"downpipe to 3 inch megan exhaust, apexi cold air...

So after not getting any responses to a previous thread I decided to ask again, after installing a 16g my bov opens normaly at low boost but in full boost it flutters, not turbo flutter though, it sounds like its blowing off by opening and closing realy fast, I loosend the adjustment screw off...

I did a Evo 3 big 16G swap and a buddy of mine wants to buy my T25 off me to put in his gf's tiburon. To my surprise the T25 has usual minimal shaftplay wich is crazy considering it has 92000 miles on it and boosting @17 psi for the last 6 years steady, my question is before i sell it to him...

I'm wanting to replace my clutch soon and want some info on experiances with clutches. Need a good street clutch, mods are ported evo3 16G, obx tubular header, megan racing ported o2 housing, 3" downpipe and rest of ehaust, greddy type rs bov, wallboro 190 pump, apexi cold air intake, nxs MBC...

So with my t25 my greddy type rs released the normal "woosh" sound at all boost levels, now since changing to a big 16g, under low boost it emits the same sound but under full boost it almost sounds like flutter but not compressor flutter its more like the vavle opens and shuts repeatedly, kind...

so I finally recieved my 16g, problem is, the bolts that came with my tubular manifold dont fit the holes on the turbo, they are too fat, its an obx header and the bolts that came with the install kit for the turbo are way too long as they were meant to be installed with stock mani but the...

This is just a sort of a kudos to an ebay company called dr.automotive, I purchased a new boost gauge from them and after it was installed the gauge had some issues at 8-12 vacuum, (needle was bouncing wildly) so I sent an email asking about the problem and they sent a couple back asking mods...

Alrighty, so I finally picked up my 14B, I have J-pipe, oil feed line, plan on reusing water lines, possibly gaskets, need to get oil return line. Am I missing anything or am I ready to go? also I noticed there are a few cracks in the exhaust port of the turbo and 1 small wastegate crack. Should...

so I had my apexi cat back installed today, and I also asked for the cat to be removed and replaced with a test pipe. The shop said they would not remove the cat because of the o2 sensor behind it. My question is, can the cat be removed? Will the car not run well due to this sensor? :confused:

Hey guys, I'm planning on graduating from the T25 lol, I like the idea of the T28 bolting right on and still looking stock, but the $300 price difference of the 16G is also appealing, current mods are 255 fuel pump, apexi cold air intake, unused but installed boost controller, boost gauge...

Hello all, my '97 Gst is 5000 miles away from the 100,000 mile mark. Any suggestions on what to do when It reaches this "milestone", timing belt, waterpump, alternator, and all other belts were replaced @ 70k, breaks were done last summer...any tips/suggestions are greatly apreciated:hellyeah:

I am in Lethbridge alberta Canada and am wonder of any shop in Calgary or somewhere close around the area that works on dsm's. There are 0 shops in lethbridge and I wouldn't trust my car with any mechanic around here. There is a shop that does tuning but it specializes in skylines, silvias and...

what benifits are there from removing all the unnecissary vacuum lines besides a cleaner looking engine bay?
