So sorry as I haven't been active on this forum whatsoever since I've been in the nursing program for the past almost year and a half.I will definitely hunt down and check what I did because it's been so long that I don't remember!
I haven't been on here for over a year but I saw this and just had to reply. Holy sh*t this is amazing and a great deal! Those damn shifter pivot bushings were the bane of my existence and yours look absolute quality. Keep up the amazing work my man! Grateful to have people like you on the...
ec17pse, mann, the time you put into our platforms and spend on trying to improve it all is astounding. I don't see you every giving up on these cars honestly and that's just amazing. The level of commitment here is A+I read through this thread numerous times and thought about how grateful we...
I am at a loss for words. Curt Brown is a damn legend. One of the first names I learned in the dsm community at 19 when I got my first DSM.And what makes this even more saddening is I talked to him over the phone years ago. Just gives me such a damn weird feeling inside like I somewhat knew...
Does the green light on the USB cable come on when connected? I had a basically new cable and I was in the middle of saving changes to my DA table when all of a sudden everything just froze with a loading screen for saving changes. I waited for 15 minutes thinking it was still loading changes...
When I did my install, the only thing I had to modify was cutting the rubber piece on the bottom of the bracket in half. It basically holds the actual fuel pump in place.Also, no modification is needed for the hanger. So you don't need any bulkhead fitting to run the walbro 450. You DO...
Guys, I'm very sorry I didn't ever see the replies to this thread and failed to update it! I ended up pulling my fuel pump assembly and got some pics to follow up. The Toyota seal completely fixed my issue! Yayy!So I just read another thread stating that the seal needs to be kept in place with...
If your main goal is to get cams that don't make the spool up of your current turbo worse, then I don't think getting cams in general is a good idea. You may be able to compensate a little with the spool up but for the most part you're gonna be giving up the low end in order to have increased...
Hey Gofer, did you have to run spacers with this setup? It's the exact wheel and offset I want to run but I've read they don't clear big brakes. So I'm just wondering. I don't want to have to run spacers
Holy crap man! I can't express enough how perfect this color choice is for your car! I've seen a lot of custom colors on DSMs that I think never truly for the car in an OE style but yours is PERFECT. Looks like a color the car was meant to be released in! Like a special edition or something...
Oh, bonus info, someone stole my identity and already got my tax refund! Luckily, my tax preparer took care of it but it's gonna take a bit until I get my refund when I filed taxes almost two months ago! So now I'm wondering if the damn person stealing my sh*t will get my stimulus check or I'll...
Thank you! I actually got so caught up on my post I forgot about the DSM lmao I actually have been working on the car quite a lot! Just battling some lean wave issues on my WOT due to big injectors that I'm trying to figure out. But making good progress nonetheless!
Also, funny thing about my...
I am luckily in the medical field as far as employment goes and still have my full time job. Surprisingly though, here in Cali at least, a LOT of nurses and medical staff are getting cut because we've noticed a huge huge drop in the hospital patient census. It's almost as if people are avoiding...
Hey, I'm bringing this back up, but are we positive here that the 2G CAS doesn't use an o-ring? I have very little oil residue after driving right under the CAS on the cylinder head surface. I'm wondering/thinking it is actually coming from the CAS. I looked back through my entire build (glad I...
Those two guys you mentioned are both living in so-cal. Whether they know that guy Sergio personally or not, idk. But I wouldn't doubt it. So there's more bias there. I'm pretty sure they're very close to Sergio in terms of physical location..Right on on the tune! Looking forward to it!
Hey Vegas, I know you're running the Magnus rail and was wondering if you had to use aftermarket spacers for them. I checked with extremepsi and was told they don't come with the metal spacers and you are supposed to use the factory ones. But I see in your pic you're not running the factory...
I can totally agree with you here on the subject of one man business and parts taking time. Well, quality parts taking time. However, even though I've never ordered through Tim at TMZ but plan to for sure some day, this comparison is apples and oranges for one big reason: Quality. I'm sure...
There is a way to adjust it with the adjuster bolt. It looks like the one OP has is not the original and maybe he needs a longer one to put more tension on the belt.
I would personally love to order a Magnus fuel rail through extremepsi but it doesn't give me the option to choose between colors =(
I don't see Magnus Motorsport as a supporting vendor. So, I would love to order it from extremepsi but only if I knew what was up with that.
This is literally just the response I was given by FIC. I don't want to get into anymore details on what it SPECIFICALLY boils down to until the theory is tested and confirmed. It's just hearsay at this point.But, to give it to you this way, I had my global set to -77.7 which was optimal for...
What is your setup? Also, we may have figured out what it all boils down to specifically so hang tight. This could come in a matter of days to weeks.. :D
Had them in the box for 6 years. Then finally installed them. Dealt with the problems for 2 years.. saving you a lifetime.. not worth the headache.
Also, I will gladly have you know that I just got some conclusive results from a very detailed (and expensive) test done by FIC themselves which...
These were somewhat taken at different times but the first photo was actually AFTER the second. I ended up using the suggestions only to be suggested even HIGHER suggestions which resulted in major hot spots on the log. Which by the way did NOTHING for the car.
Shit you are on it lol good for you. Okay, judging from what Marty attached as a pic, yes it seems to me that my suggested changes from the VEadjust feature were just like that but even higher. Where the car wanted to start spooling, my AFRs went insanely lean (18:1 AFRs). I will attach a pic...
If the inducer is a choke point, wouldn't providing it with high pressure, dense air be the exact opposite of what you want to do? I really am just wondering. Still learning here lol
Here's an exaggerated illustration of what I tried to explain earlier described as vena contracta. Notice the turbulent areas and the potential loss of flow from a very large diameter down to a very small. Much more exaggerated but you get the point.
I think that makes most sense ec17pse. It's basically Bernoulli's principle in that once the piping tapers gradually down, you go from an area of high pressure (larger diameter pipe) to low pressure (smaller diameter pipe) in which the air speed is higher in the low pressure part of the pipe...
