    2G Starter Clicking

    Try boosting from another battery just in case. The starter clicking is usually a sign of not enough amps getting to the starter. It can still read 12V, but won't have enough amps to crank the starter.Getting wires crossed is quite the issue seeing as it could be one of a million things...

    Anyone here run without a BOV?

    Straight up, Compressor surge is not considered "normal operation" for any turbo, engine, etc. It's abnormal and usually a bad situation. Ask any airline pilot out there (mind you, their situation is far worse as they're in the air, but the same principals apply) Run a BOV, stop being a...

    AWD Conversion/Swap Guys Enter Here - Advanced. [Merged 2-07]

    Yea, I noticed that when I dropped the tank from the 95. I was expecting to see a whole lot of emissions nonsense. I planed on deleting it anyway, so no harm no foul. Seeing as ca.dsm is down, looks like I'll be getting all of my help from here.

    AWD Conversion/Swap Guys Enter Here - Advanced. [Merged 2-07]

    Darn. I was afraid of that. Oh well. Just one more thing to add to ths list. Looks like you cut it right at the base opposed to in the middle of the pipe. Is that correct? Thanks for the info and pictures, exactly the answer I was looking for. Looks great and clean. I wouldn't have...

    AWD Conversion/Swap Guys Enter Here - Advanced. [Merged 2-07]

    Nick, I suggest checking your axle boots to make sure they are A) not ripped or loose and B) filled with grease. When those bearings run dry and wear out, they cause a ridiculous amount of vibration under all driving conditions.But on to my question! I've read and re read, and REREAD all...

    2G eclipse srt rear lights conversion idea

    Looks a little more plausible for us eclipse guys. The corner of the lights would need to be a little pointier. I like it though.

    Roof rack

    Not yet. I had to dart down to Niagara Falls NY to pick it up as they wouldn't ship it up to Canada. So, I installed it there to avoid the hassle of customs. Just noticed a somewhat "heavier" ride on the 1.5 hour trek back to Toronto.

    Roof rack

    Picked mine up and installed it today. It looks amazing. I noticed at highway speeds there is a significant increase in downforce/drag added to the car as a result of the front fender I'm assuming...

    $1k budget, most bang for my buck.

    WB. No question. Forget everything else until you have a WB. Can't use that fancy V3 lite until you can properly tune with it ;) After that, you need fuel. You can get big injectors, but they're useless unless you can hit those boost levels, and push enough fuel to keep your A/F in the right...

    Car wont stay running for more than a second or two...

    My car did the same thing when my CAS went. Worst part is that the car isn't on long enough to log the code. I got lucky, it fired up for a couple seconds, threw the code and then crapped out.

    What am I missing?! *parts list*

    In the first chapter of the Haynes manual there is scheduled maintenance, as well in the owners manual. As for bushings I'd say get the car up on stands and start at the front and work your way back. Keep the tires on to check your hubs and tie rods. Aside from that a massive set of...

    What am I missing?! *parts list*

    All sound suggestions from all parties. Personally, I'm going to say 2 often overlooked things. Maintenance and reference material. Any/all worn bushings, balljoints, filters, hubs, belts, fluids, etc, etc, etc. Replace all that need replacing and inspect all the other ones before you...

    $1k budget, most bang for my buck.

    New paint job! Clearly nothing makes you go faster then a hot pink ride ;) lol, I J/K. But as mentioned you could pick up V3, WB gauge, 225, and if you do it right even a FMIC kit ;)

    idle problem acts like its got cams and stalls

    Are you throwing any codes? Mine did this when my CAS died on me.

    550cc on Stock ecu?

    Well, we all link new and shiny things, but try looking in the classifieds for a used one. Saving dollars is always nice ;)

    550cc on Stock ecu?

    You can make the boost leak kit for ~10-$20. Pretty simple. Good luck with the test, and there is no better investment for your car then link. (Aside from ALL of the maintenance that you or the previous owner has slacked on). Good luck !

    550cc on Stock ecu?

    Making sure your intake track is nice and tight is key. There are a lot of "how to do a boost leak test" threads out there. For a couple of reasons I'm going to let you go and seek them out A) It's good practice to hunt down the info you need from this forum and B) It's late and I'm lazy. lol...

    550cc on Stock ecu?

    I'd say ~ 8-12psi should do you ok. Remember, as soon as you start fiddling around with the fuel, you NEED some way to control or compensate for it. An example that really made it clear for me back in the day was this; Your ECU tells your injectors to open in %s. For simplicity sake lets...

    PCV system

    PCV system

    Allowing excess air to enter your engine unaccounted for is always a nono. Just because you see some 'tricked out' ricer with a fancy little filter there doesn't mean it's correct. Yes sure you're keeping your intake track clean, but you aren't doing anything positive aside from that...

    Squealing when slowing down?

    Sorry, but I can't help you on the auto tranny aspect, but as for this noise it could be one of a million things... Do you notice it in a specific gear? Perhaps try driving in 1, 2, then D. (not sure the designation of the DSM auto trannys) Check your suspension and general drive terrain...

    AWD LSD swap

    I haven't come across an answer for this just yet. I currently have a m/t 97gsx non LSD rear diff and have come across a BFH rear diff from an a/t 95 GSX. Aside from obtaining a passenger rear axle for the BFH diff, are these 2 items interchangeable? If no, what all needs to be done and is...

    Resolved How to remove axle on 97 GST?

    Impact is key but seeing as your tranny is out aswell, you might need to put a pry bar in the hub spokes. Also, if you need to replace the boots, I always found it best to replace the whole axle. Unless you know that it just ripped and/or there was still plenty of grease in there, then the...

    Roof rack

    Ha! Perfectly said! I too would be interested in one of these. Fitting a snowboard in the back with tools is a bit of a P.I.T.A.How easy is it to install/remove? Drilling required? Sunroof still operational? NEED INFO! haha

    stalling issue with v3 would like help

    If you do have a WB and are using that in the location of your front O2, make sure you are "simulating narrowband operation" It's under the settings in ECMlink.

    Ontario emissions

    I live in Richmond Hill (north of Toronto) and have to go through emissions testing every 2 years ( like everyone else in Southern Ontario) You're already one step up because of your GSX. There is an idle test and a 2500rpm test to simulate driving conditions as they don't dyno AWD vehicles...

    new to the dsm thing. i have a 95 talon N/A need a good quality bodykit?

    Whatever you do, spend the extra cash and do it right. The Duraflex stuff is far superior to standard fiberglass as it won't explode on impact. Now, I'm not saying to use your car as a bumper car, but you won't have to worry about chimps and missing pieces after a couple months.

    97 2g awd problems. Just got it home.

    Hi Greg. DSM ISC motor testing & Replacement - YouTube just posted that in another thread, cant' hurt to check it and get your idle into check. The bov being recirculated will more so affect your idle (perhaps why it's high?) as you're under high vac and it will be forced open a little under...

    92 gsx has no power whatsoever

    Read through your list of mods and noticed a critical oversight. You forgot to add horses! lmfao!But seriously, sounds like an "air" issue. Seeing as you haven't picked up a WB yet, I'm going to suggest looking at your ISC. Test it and make sure it's fully functioning. (DSM ISC motor...

    What part is this?

    I'm pretty sure the fuel pressure solenoid is closer to the driver side. That is the EGR solenoid.

    I'm aware of that. I was asking whether or not anyone has made an insert with the catalytic converter media to add then remove once the test has been completed.

    Emissions + Testpipe insert

    I have a full 3" turbo back system with a fake cat. I also have an emissions test coming up. My DP just slides into the fake cat and I use a clamp to keep it there. What I was thinking was to get an old cat, punch out the insides and make an insert that I can easily remove when the test is...
