Thanks to whoever messed up the shipping on my gasket. I wasn't able to do the intake manifold, abs delete, and fmic kit. I daily drive my car and my new ballast came in so I went out and installed the HID's instead of just sitting here. Ran into the first issue with them a week ago when I got...
Well I was about 20 minutes from starting the installs this weekend but I decided to get the thermal gasket for the new Magnus intake. Well while waiting on that I sent the FMIC(end tanks were the focus) and intake to get polished by a local DSMer. Man did he come through for me. Got these back...
Wheels weigh about 21lbs each. Not the lightest in the world or the heaviest. But i like the look they have i like the stance of the car so I'm happy with both combined. FMIC, Magnus intake and abs delete may be this weekend. We will see. Maybe my adj rear control arms to get rid of the...
Plans for this weekend include the VRSF front mount install, the Magnus intake install, and the abs delete. A lot of work but if I get started early enough I should be good to go.
Well I looked for a few months before I bought this one. Drove about 2 hours and then it matched everything he said which was a first for me when it came to DSM's. Wasn't about to let it get away. Well once I find a 4 bolt rear and subframe it will be cleaned up painted and have my new bushings...
Hey guys hows it going? Ive been a member on here for a little while, i've had quite a few dsm's in my day. Here is the UBER clean 91 gsx i picked up in March 2012, with only 81,668 original miles when i got it. When I purchased it, it had a new stock rebuilt 6 bolt long block, new clutch and...
I had a PTE JB .82 a/r t3 housing on my stock block 86,*** mile motor. I tuned up at 28 psi. Never had any issues out of the turbo other then the seemingly slower spool time the most(probably due to an exhaust leak). But i fed from the OFH because PTE told me the exact same thing about if i...
Once the weather warms up we usually have weekly or biweekly meets. We ride out to richmond for trips to the dragstrip and langley speeway for circle track. Even VMP sometimes. We have our own local board thats VADSM.com. You'll find alot more people there. Welcome to the area.

Awesome reading material. I havent read this much "way back material" since way back. I got into dsm's when they started picking up in my area and i think the fastest one then was like 12.1. I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and immediately fell in love. Of course i was 16...
Hey man if you get on vadsm.com were all local guys there and we got people who can help you find what you need(or already have it on parts cars) and help get you a deal on a inspection ok man.
My car will be on the dyno later this month with the 6262sp setup. Once i get a tune done on link with my sd setup she'll be on the dyno on the 25th. Ill post some numbers up then. Plan on running around 25psi.
Well i got her fired right up today. After everything is said and done. The mechanical timing was off so i got a new timing belt and new tensioner, then got a new fuel filter and got those installed. Just for fun i pulled the fuel pump back out and cut the neck off the sending unit and just...
Well i put the motor at TDC pulled the cas out and lined it up where the notch on the cas is lined it up so that the notch is eating the little ball like indention on the cas. Still nothing. It takes about 4 secs of spinning the cas before fuel comes to the fuel rail. I pulled the line off the...
Pulled the timing covers off today. Somehow immediately upon the first startup of the month the timing had jumped and was off enough to cause no compression. I took car of that so i now have compression again but its still noit starting. gotta trace out the fuel and spark to see what the issue is..
Thats what im saying. Nothing i replaced or touched would have effected compression at all. The motor was spun at all( to my knowledge) since it last ran perfectly fine. It was trailored to the shop to have the fmic fabbed up and trailored back. there was no fuel pump installed the entire time...
installed brand new injector seals when the new 1050's went in. Until tommorow its just been me so i cant be under the hoo dan din the car but i got a little trigger to hook to the starter to start it that way so i can be under the hood at the same time im cranking it over. Pulled the VC off and...
Im on duty today so i cant leave the ship i plan on pulling the timing cover off tommorow and giving everything a good lookover. I just found it to be pretty strange for sumthing like this to happen randomly since the tming belt and everything was nice and tight and the car wasnt turned over or...
Hey guys hows it going? Ive run into a rather strange issue with upgrading my 1g dsm that i cant seem to figure out. To start everything off ill give you all the info so i dont leave to many blank spots. I started off this whole process when i was running an fp evo3 tubular mani, tubular o2...
I just pulled a fp 16g off my car and it pulled hard from the minute i hit the throttle till i hit 20psi(all i wanted to run). I had a 2g maf, 550's, wideband, palm datalogger and a 190 fuel pump adjusting it with and afc never had any trans issues or boost issues. Id upgrade the rest of your...
Just left my brothers house telling him how crappy his hondas are then I get 1 turn from my house and the oil supply line comes off spraying oil all over the front of the engine bay and ended up bending a valve. but gave me time to rebuild and put the 20g and 272's in. ;). Thats the only reason...
Paid 3800 for my 92 tsi with 84,000 miles on it. Apexi exhaust, 580 injectors, evo 3, act 2100, exedy flywheel, short shifter, dejon upper ic pipe, eibach sportlines, Fresh midnight blue paint.
Gotcha. Im gonna tweak it some more tommorow and try to get the WOT down to around 11:4 at least and my idle to 14.7. Im not seeing ne issues with fuel trims, and the car keeps running better and better so ill get it where i think its good to go and if ne thing comes up ill end up having to pay...
Well it took a little while of messing around and some major correction changes. This is what it took to get decent a/f readings. I had to take my low side corrections to +13(Lo) to get a 15.3 a/f at idle and cruise, and i had to go to -3%(Hi) to get 12.2 at WOT. It idles alot smoother but the...
I run 93 octane all day everyday. Ive never put any race gas in it. Every setup ive seen from other people has had around -13% for setups like mine. But at -13% mine ist giving me a reading at all when idling. Right now at -9%(lo side) -13%(hi side) correction mine is giving me 11.8 WOT and...
Hey guys hows it going? Ive been running through the search on here and reading everything i could come across for tuning a 1g with similar setups to mine but none speak much as to what exactly their settings are. Everything i've read has pointed towards around -13% for my setup. But at -13% im...
Thanks for all the help guys. I figured out what the problem was. The holes for the pins on the cams was drilled off-center to the main whole in the center of the cam. Thats y i was having issues.
Hey guys i just got done rebuilding my head with brand new valves, comp 101200 cams, and hks cam gears. Everytime im line this thing up i just cant trust what it looks like and i keep thinkin im a tooth or so off what do you guys think? The way i have it now the side notches of the cam gears...
heres another pic of the side so you can see how the cam gears are facing correctly. Idk the more i look it seems like its a tooth off on the cam gears but the intake matches the CAS and the notches on the cam gears(where the two come closest together) are lined up. what do you guys think?
Ok guys i got it all back together i just wanna make sure I timed everything right. i followed procedures from a link on here to zero the CAS and i put the new cams and gears on with the notchs(on the gears) facing straight up all the timing marks(crank pulley, oil pump) are in place and the...
