ok guys, im going to be running an e3 intake, e316g and a bbk 62mm tb. my question is about the size of my piping. i know that there is an advantage to oversized pipes before the turbo, but after the turbo is where i get fuzzy. given the size of the throttle body, are there any gains to be had...

here's a crazy idea. what if i cut the flange off my intake manifold, opened the tb side up and had a larger flange welded on; one that allowed a larger tb? just trying to get the best of both worlds. My buddy welds professionally so i can get this done for cheap/ nearly free. would it be worth...

Can't really find and answer to this. When you guys did your awd swap, did you use the gas tank sheild? I can't find one intact enough to use. Is it necessary for the swap or is it purely a safety thing? If i don't use it, do i need to shim anything to install the rest of the parts?

Hey guys im having trouble finding out what this trans is. Owner says its a evo 3 but im unable to find these numbers referenced anywhere

Just a suggestion, we need a searchable database that catalogs wheels that do/don't fit with each of the different mods. obviously it would have to have full wheel description and anything done to get them to fit if possible. i realize it's easy to find if the popular wheels fit but obscure ones...

So I've been reading threads about tuning for milage and have a question. Does having more sensors help you squeeze out realistic results? I'm asking because I'm gathering parts for my build and want to be as prepared as possible. I will be switching to speed density and have read the faq page...

Not sure if this is the right section for this but I figure I'll give it a shot. I've tried some searching here and on google. Has anyone done anything with steel tube for vacuum lines. I only ask because I have the bender and leftover line of a good i.d.. Pics would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking for underbody pictures of 2g awd exhaust. Just need to see the back half of the car with the exhaust installed. Can be stock or aftermarket. I won't be able to get under my car for a few months and need to see the layout. Thx in advance.

Any of you guys do a 3kgt brake swap willing to let me test fit my wheels? Ill drive to you.

Ok guys need some help. I bought a 2g awd rear assembly from someone on here. Is there a way to tell the difference b/w a 1g and 2g setup at a glance?

Trying to nail down which size gm maf i will need for my build. Hp goal is 540 fwhp. Will the 3" flow enough air? I'm going to the part yard soon and would like to get the right one. I realize there are many mentions of gm mafs in the forums but can't find if anyone has hit a limit b/c of a...

I've read about having pressure drop problems when the intercooler is too big. My question is how do i know if the intercooler i would like to purchase is too big? With the way I'm building my setup, the ic that will fit has a 10" x 3.5" core. It's the CX racing Mustang big core. Any input would...

anybody on this site use a cx racing intercooler? i realize they are a budget type place but if it works it works.

‘97 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder gs-tBackground: So it’s the ever familiar m.o., I buy the car cause it’s kinda cool and I‘m a fan of dsms. It looks like a good deal and the few things that it needs are simple to fix. The guy wants $2,200. I offer $1,750 given its qwerks. We settle at...

So I bought a used 3" megan o2 housing for way cheap and got to looking at it. I noticed some overlap inside where the pipes are welded. Is It ok to grind that out and open up hole. The overlap is not part of a weld. just seems like it slipped through qc.

Got my "big wheel" rebuilt and it came back with an anti corrosion type finish on it. Question is do I need to clean that stuff off the mating surfaces or is it safe to leave it. The finish is grey if that helps.
