- First startup on the TD06 20g & BSFab Side Exit, sounded really great, was running great, just had to modify some intercooler piping and it was time to tune.- Fast forward approximately a week or so, Ricky Nichols @ Rix Racing started tuning my car for me, we saw around 22 PSI just fine...

Last coat of primer is on. Some more prep work and the bay gets sprayed.Was a toss up between Gloss Black and a color matched P75 bay, pretty happy based on the results of the match, hoping the quality of the paint transfers over to the bay well. Fingers crossed.
How is the scene down in that area?We've got a place down in St. Pete never really thought they were around in the area, but apparently there are quite a few
Many, many, hours and new circumstances later. The car is finally getting an update. Unfortunately it has been sold to another DSMer here by the name of PLDSM, primary reason for selling being that I will be moving, but I keep close ties with the car and now that it's in a better location solid...
All good man, this car is getting completely revamped staying fwd now has a Quaife Lsd and made 330whp. Going to put a different motor and harness in so my burning oil problem can be investigated and I will no longer have a rats nest.Goal is to track the car at GridLife Midwest this upcoming...
Bought a Gates Racing Belt L19 Headstuds and a Felpro MLS HG along with other misc parts.Sorted out a cage, seats and a new motor to use while the stock one comes out to get checked over, stock split thrust 7 Bolt is getting the new parts and some boost!
Speed 6’s can disconnect the rear with the E-Brake it’s a fwd bias awd system that can be turned off it’s a click up I believe and it deactivated the rear perfectly normal to drive only using the front in these.
Update on this thread many months later. I eventually went back and checked the one thing I let a buddy help me with my CAS had a leak and we redid the gasket on it. Of course he flipped the piece on the inside 180. Swore by it he put it in the way it came out, guess not.Discovered this a...
Title pretty much says it all.Came out of a running 2g.Looking to sell it for around $550, willing to ship at buyers expense with the buyer understanding shipping will take some time for something like this.Motor is located in Southeast Michigan
Update: After a very aggressive learning curve, and trying to fight every step of the way on this car for several months I no longer had the time or space to deal with it on my own. I had tried chasing electrical problem after problem. PTU's, Coil Packs, Plug Wires, Plugs, etc.I originally...
Multiple issues.ECMLink reading wrong RPM. And unfortunately wrong HP :( 546 hp at 5% throttle at 1600 RPM would be pretty nuts though.Car sat for a while, prior to sitting it shifted into 3rd just fine. Now it refuses to even allow the shifter into the 3rd position.Cruising log is short...
In ECMLink my RPM appears to be going up and down.BoV is atmospheric, no speed densityTPS is set with linkAdjusting BISS Screw did not get rid of itMy tuner says he has not encountered this before and is curious as to what it might be suggested I post it on the forums to ask around. He...
Alright guys coming at you with another request for some advice, I've looked around but it seems like there's very vague information on this.I'm buying ECMLink v3 for $300 that came out of a 800whp car.So I currently have a no start issue that I'm addressing atm which is completely separate...
Yeah, didn't even know there was bendable radiator hose! I'll for sure give that a shot, and the MAF is plugged in correctly, but I'll double check still waiting on my fuel stuff so not much I can do until then. Yeah the PO had lots of documentation of it and whatnot and I spoke with the shop...
Boost leak test after putting a new gasket and gasket maker on the throttle body to intercooler piping, CAS was resealed with gasket maker to prevent oil leaking, New intake filter, new spark plugs, BOV was filed down to be flush since previous owner butchered it in a vice lol new gasket and...
Problem atm is the car is starting up, and then falling on it's face and dying after a few seconds. Checking a bunch of shit after I get my fuel rail spacers and the oem fuel rail bolts. And yeah I would fix my bov as well though unfortunately I'm having quite a tough time finding any sort of...
Yeah but again, that wouldn't be the issue because the car was running and driving prior to me doing this. It may be causing 'an' issue but that is not -the- issue I'm currently trying to resolve.
Yeah, would definitely suggest going for a afpr, because you'll really be kicking yourself if the smaller pump doesn't fix your issues, and in addition even if the 190 does fix the flow rate you'll still end up wanting one later down the road when you're chasing down something else, better to...
Yeah, same issues before this new ecu and injectors. Although I don't think much air is getting out of the BoV at idle... Doesn't make much sense if it was opening at idle and holding any boost at all in other scenarios, if it was able to open at idle and leak it would just shit the bed 24/7...
Well I certainly hope that I don't have to rebuild the engine... This one only has around 1000 miles on it right now lmfao, but yeah as I get more into perfecting this car when a bit more money rolls around the end of this month I suppose a build journal would be due. Thanks man and I'll be sure...
Yeah man, I'm just outright in love with this color. I definitely have a soft spot for it as well. It's my first turbo car, first DSM, and first car all in one! Lmfao. Welp fingers crossed that I can sort all this out. Thanks for helping me out man, me being new to all of this and whatnot helps...
Yeah I mean, it must be if it was working before. So I guess the issues back to what we were thinking before. Previous owner had a lot of money in the car and it's not that things were done wrong they just weren't finished it seems. Minus a few things that were done wrong, like a botched BOV...
Ahh just realized why, I've got the kiggly kit that has a plate with a spot to bolt it up to. Still will attach some pics of the engine out of the car though.
Well, I'm a bit confused now, this is quite unfortunate. Maybe the car is just a 7 bolt block, and I was lied to by the seller and company that built the engine :hmm:
Hmm, I suppose that could be the issue, we were messing with the housing for the CAS when we put gasketmaker on it to stop it from leaking, lol.., mine is on the passenger side though and is a 6 bolt block/7 bolt head. Could I potentially just need a new CAS as well?
Alright, so I was on the right track with what I was checking. Fingers crossed that it's a simple fix. Still quite annoyed with the stuttering under throttle though but have yet to have a chance to test that. Car stopped running properly after I boost leak tested which is the part that really...
Wouldn't be posting this here but unfortunately I'm limited to this part of the forums, Zzzz, If this isn't allowed feel free to lock/delete.Looking to purchase at the end of this month.I currently have a pending purchase on v3Link without a cable for $300, willing to discuss around this...
Had pretty much the same issue and yeah that's a good call with Oem injectors and old ecu, will try that tmrw. Waiting on somebody to confirm with me that they are sending me spacers and fuel rail bolts, running a super jank setup atm. Any idea what the resistance should be on the plug wires and...
From one beginner to another, I'll tell you what I've learned. For something that extensive you 100% will need ECMLink in order to tune for that turbo and whatnot, another concern is I'm not too sure if a 255 pump can properly support 1000cc injectors. Although a good stepping stone before you...
Boy oh boy, I don't quite know where to start on this one.So I have a 97 GST, which has a build profile before somebody asks me for specs and whatnot in order to properly help me out.Quick rundown of what I've been doing with it.When I first got the car I did an oil change, got an ecu that...
Oh they will and are driving me crazy already, but I have the evo 3 16g, so I'm just trying to prepare everything for when I start hitting 20psi pulls and whatnot, want to make sure I only have to do this all once for a while not again after two pulls lol. Learning curve is quite fun though...
Oh man, I'm already addicted to it even though it's running like shit right now lmfao, lots of stuff I'm trying to figure out still. Boost leaks primarily
