Omg, I'm having the same problem!! I had Magnus install the DSMlink and ever since then as soon as I gets to operating temp, boom wants to stall out kicks and cars like a bag of kaka eventually dying. Wait a bit then starts up and only last a minute or two then repeats. This has been happening...

Rebuild is a good idea, clean up the head and rebuild and do all seals and gaskets. I have a completely stock and with cams and every thing else including DSMlink. I just dynoed the car at 380 whp which is a lot of horse power for a stock bottom. Don't cheap out and get everything done right...

Hey brother, it's unfortunate for your engine failure, but you need a little more info. Does the engine turn over? Not sure if you meant the oil filter was torn up? Or throwing oil out? First thing is find exactly where the engine is losing oil. Then fix it if it can be fixed. If not you might...

A lot has changed, I agree dsm boneyard is very slow and can't seem to get there kaka together. I kept the 550 cc injectors and added a 20g cast manifold along with 44 mm HKS waste gate. Marco from Magnus have been friends even while my talon in the garage for a decade. We dynoed my car at 378...

Running DSMlink v3 and for the last two days tired to change my fuel filter with a universal which we figured out that it doesn't fit. I will get the OEM one Thursday. I'm really not sure maybe injectors might be the problem. Didn't drive the car for ten years just starting up and moving in and...

Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem and it doesn't happen all the time. My problem isn't happening while accelerating but when I'm cruising in 3rd gear around 3000 rpm and it's not chugging but feels like a hesitation just a small miss. Car did sit for a while and this trying to get to all...

Guys this forum is amazing just search the site and reap the befits of all the knowledge of the members wise men. Plasti dip for all the trim pieces that are flat black. I'm not a fan of vinyl wraps which cost 2 to 3 grand when you can buy a few spray cans of plasti dip for a few dollars. Just...

Ya I did it step by step, but my Monroe struts and universal the torx top was easy I just unscrewed the top and screwed on the stock portion I unscrewed from the stock unit. Unfortunately the bottom bracket does not unscrew and not able to remove it to attach it to the new struts. The struts are...

Hey guys I'm not too sure if there is a thread to show me how to change the bottom two screw bottom bracket and attach to the new hatch struts, but I'll start here. I have purchased to new struts from an american parts suppler who assured that they would be an exact fit and after removing the...

This is a great question and I had two installed on 92 talons. The first time I did the FMIC car over heated because of the disruption of the FMIC. I built a plastic flap under the bottom rad support to force air into the rad, because the FMIC changes the air flow a new induction of air needs to...

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but I'm having an issue with my clutch adjustment and shifting.My car sat for ten years and 5 years ago I started to do some upgrades and got a fluidyne rad. I didn't know where to put the overflow bottle so I let it float, but eventually it fell into...

This is pretty funny threads, I have a 92 talon in Toronto and having trouble with my seat belts also. I was going to go to the wreckers and replace them. If there is a better way then please share the wisdom. I like not having those electronic sliding seat belts like the Saturn cars, but agree...

You should be aware of the number of turns because you can do some real damage if you over boost. Maybe not destroy your motor but I hope you have upgraded mods with some sort of fuel system. Electric boost controller are best and some of the new ones like HKS or greedy profec a are amazing. The...

This is a good question, because I have 378 wheel hp just dynoed and have a centreforce dual friction clutch with a lightened aluminum flywheel and it's 12 years old and I loved the centre force but no one uses them anymore (not sure why). I'm looking for a replacement and the act 2600 is the...

Everyone seems to use ACT clutches, but for under 400 whp there should be a lot of options. I have had a 11 second supercharged mustang and a few 1g DSM's, both have had Centreforce dual friction clutches and even in my supra turbo. Not sure about your needs but I like a streetable clutch that...

This is a no brainier all of the above with a unanimous "part it out" is your best option. You should buy a turbo awd because prices are low but being 1g DSM's i have seen a rise in clean well cared for example are going to start rising. Lots of these cars are being parted out (like yours) or...

It's hard to diagnose but syncros could be the problem, but you should check every thing from clutch slave and pedal assembly. If you press the clutch down put the stick in 2nd gear then in first see if it helps the entry into first gear. I have a centre force dual friction and if the clutch is...

All of the responses are right. Being a gst you might not have to deal with transfer case problems, but awd is the way to go. You are very knowledgeable in cars just for asking people who own them (using this site). I love my DSM, but I have paid for my loyalty. Money pits are a good association...

Yes, if it is like the DSMlink v3 it only keeps the boost set at the time of tuning. Without it you would have to hook up the laptop and change it through the AEM, instead just turning a nob. Without an external boost controller you would have less control over boost quickly. I asked the same...

I have a problem similar with puffing until I give her boost when I go down the street, as soon as I give it the car is good no more smoke. My car sat for years. So I wanted to know how the Lucas lube worked?

I agree with the member who stated that to make the hp numbers you want use the money for better bolt on upgrades that you can salvage if you blow up the block. DSM link or other mods, cams you need to go into the motor and do more harm then good. But for the record and to answer your question...

Make sure you take into account shipping charges which will be a contributing factor. Are you doing the work yourself? DSM Graveyard for parts they have good prices, but they take a while to ship certian stuff so don't wait till the last minute to order. Also check the classifieds for assembled...

Welding aluminum is tricky. If all else fails you can buy a stock valve cover from an auto wreckers or even use this site to source a good used cover. I'm new to this site but found it a great resource for anything and everything DSM. Check classifieds for part outs and send someone a message...

Reading the posts about the holes in the in the engine, all advice are good ideas ie. junk yard, or replce the part that has that has the holes or catch can. Being a newbie to this site you have to watch out for people scamming you. If you buy something off the classifieds make sure your getting...

I have had 6 project cars that I have modded. from a 1980 z28 to mustang and grand national and 3 talons. Always get a good quality stainless steel or titanium if avilable. It's going to pay off if you need to sell it or the car. If you keep the cat the cops wont bother you. The louder the car...

Ok just like the other post more than likely it's a vacuum leak or hoses are not in the correct place. Check the idle screw to see if thats leaking or try to turn the screw to lower the idle. Check intake gasket on the throttle body and intake. If that doesn't work sometimes getting a mechanic...

Like you I'm getting back into the modified car scene after 10 years and the technology has changed. DSM link was developed for DSM's to replace things like the Apexi AFC and other piggy back systems which have limits to them (ex. not removing the fuel cut or only adjusting injector pulse in 500...

Hey, guys don't know if this helps but I have been researching hx35 turbo setups and now getting ready to buy new setup for next season and this is my base. Hx35 t25 Mitsubishi t25 exhaust housing external tail 38 mm wastegate (which I bought for a guy on this forum, thanks) and a o2 housing so...

I hate to continue the debate, but I have the opportunity to upgrade to coil overs, but I have tokico adjustable struts and ebach springs for 12 years and the last ten years the car sat! I have taken measures to make the car road worthy. Even after the 10 years the suspension is amazing, handles...

When it comes to tuning as stated above anything that can change the air fuel mix is good, but if your asking what is the best bang for the buck then the answer is the DSM link. For under a thousand dollars you get everything to tune your DSM precisely. I have used a Haltech when I owned a Grand...

There are some things that you might want to look out for; first check the idle screw on the throttle body, turning counter clockwise to increase the idle (I might be wrong about which way to turn the screw. Another thing is to remove the intake pipe to the throttle body and clean it with spray...
