    Holset turbos in 2023

    Holsets used to be THE thing to do for awhile in the dsm scene. Just wondering what everyone’s stance is on that in 2023 with more and more turbo options becoming available? To be honest, I’m still interested in an hy-35 in the smaller t3 housing but I’d like to hear some opinions of others.

    ECMlink 1G: Using a v3 cable on v2.5

    How’s my input shaft look?

    Stripped the splines on my clutch disc and I’m worried about the input shaft splines. Was on the highway in 5th gear probably about -12hg when it happened. I had been hammering on it the weeks leading up to failure so it’s weird to me that it failed during such cruising conditions.I took a...

    ECMlink [RESOLVED] 1G: Ignition Timing Stuck at 5 Degrees

    90 talon 5spd with ecmlink v2. Dmertz on an old ecmlink forums post said the only thing that locks timing to 5 degrees is engine start on (which i logged, and it's not. It's off) and having the timing ground connector grounded. I've checked my wiring and don't see anything wrong. Changed my CAS...

    Old School FP Green Rebuild Kit

    I picked up an old school fp green at the shootout. There's absolutely zero shaft play, but the turbo doesn't spin very freely and the seller recommended a rebuild as they knew nothing about the turbo's past aside from it coming with a parts car they bought.My question is what rebuild kit is...
