    A little help would be nice

    Im sure other people have had this problem in the past. so im kinda wondering what your guys recommend me doing. and ways to possibly fix this. i bought this car and had it shipped to me.

    1g cams in a 2g

    i have a buddy who has a set of stock 1g cams i was just curious if they would drop right in like a normal cam installation or if there is anything i would have to look out for. Also the cam sensor, would that be alright or would a sensor out of a 1g have to be used?

    the 14b is installed. after installing i forgot to readjust the MBC. Did a pull and hit about 18lbs before i fuel cut. turned it to about 14 lbs and the car is running good from what i can tell. it was a good idea to replace the t25. for the longest time i had a rattle i could not figure out for...

    420a stock internals turbo questions

    It is possible. But like necroposy mentioned. turboing a engine with high miles can lead to some problems later down the road. i have a n/t eclipse and that was my plan as well. The more research i did on it, the more i became turned off with the idea. There is just so much that is involved in...

Alot of mixed answers though. all i want to know is, by swapping a t25 with a 14b on a stock fuel system and with a fmic, what is the most i can run? from what i have gathered i can run the same 15 lbs. i understand the process of the...

    95 ecu vs 96 ecu

    i have a 95 gsx with one hell of a wire mess. went through the harness finding tons of broken wires and pigtails with no homes(or i havent found a home for them yet) decided to pull the ecu and noticed it is a used ecu out of a 96 gsx. Now i know the 95s have a eprom ecu. but the 96-99 im not to...
