What you're referring to is the 1G intake manifold, which has a bunch of writing on it - "EFI Multi Port" or something like that. The 2G stock mani's don't have the same text - just a smooth, cast finish.

For a 300whp goal, what you have is plenty. You don't need a DSMLink, or e85 or all these other parts people recommend to make the power you're looking for. Guys have hit those numbers on these cars with AFC set ups for years, and it won't be a stretch with what you have.Having a custom AFC...

Awesome. Thank you sir.

Gents - bent the t-case dust shield guard and the heat from the friction on the drive shaft is causing an oil leak from the output seal.Does anyone have the part number for the dust shield cover? #2 in the attached image.Thank you all.

If I had access to a tig, I'd add a panel just like this to mount the pump. THanks for the help guys.

You answered my question - and I think I'll call Walbro directly and ask if their 255 in-line primes itself. If so, I'm going to move it up to the old spare tire well - better safe than sorry. If not, I may have to buy a different pump that works in my intended mounting location. Thank you all.

Thx Landspeed. I guess my answer is it doesn't matter where the external pump is mounted as long as it's in a "safe" location.That said, I guess most people only ever run external pumps in series... doesn't seem like many people only run externals. Hmmm....:hmm:

Thanks, thought about that when I bought the cell and had to decide on a sending unit... I went with an autometer unit which doesn't have a hanger for the OEM pump. At this point, I'm trying to run with what I have or modify the hanger to accept and in-tank pump.I suppose I could leave it...

All -I bought a FF 2G fuel cell, bolted it up and decided I needed to run all new fuel lines. Then things went a little nuts... -6AN fuel lines, new rail and while I was laying it all out, I also decided I wanted to only run an external fuel pump, for ease of use, I guess. I'm not pushing a...

C'mon guys, this is not really a discussion is it?Nothing but 91-93 octane in the tank is a "pump gas set-up". Anything else isn't.... it's "on N2O" or "on meth". Just qualify it, that's all. Lots of threads with "500 on pump gas, 625 on the bottle". Both are impressive, so who cares...

Not to contribute to a dead-horse topic, but .....Adam from Devo tuning once told me the stock 7 bolt bottom end was good for 550 whp....for 2 pulls on the dyno. ;)It's a highly subjective figure, but I'm sure the "stock 7 bolt DSM horsepower record" is just a google search away.

Help like this is the reason Justin has my business as long as he's building/rebuilding turbos. It's just not worth it to possibly save a few bucks elsewhere when you get complete support like this. My DSM, WRX and diesel truck turbos, when they need it, will be sent to Justin.BTW ... RE...

Did you get a bill of sale? Anything? Just apply for a duplicate title.

You're flowing more fuel to the rail but the usage limits will be determined by the injectors and the ECU/tuning. The idea of adding a bigger rail/injectors/pump is to make more power.... mileage be damned :hellyeah:

What an incredible waste of money. It's effectively a hand built car, but without any of the benefits with the exception of a lot of high-end sheet metal work. A hand built V8, big brakes, tuned suspension, etc.... all show, too slow, no thanks.

Not at all. Just saying you can almost telegraph how "bodykit threads" will go on this site. All it takes is one person writing "leave it stock" and the rest of the members jump on board.....

If the car has been "loved". Ask to see receipts, take the oil cap off and look inside there for gunk, check the shock towers for rust...it's not as hard as you'd think to tell if a car has been beaten or maintained.

Cheap-ass DSmers arguing with reputable builders....good grief. What costs more? A rebuild? Or a new oil pump? When you spin a bearing, that crap gets EVERYWHERE and it turns oil into extrude honing paste. Not good.Yeah, just spray some brake cleaner in a spun rod bearing oil pump and blow...

Don't listen to the sheep. If you want a kit, get a kit. Just be wary of knock-off fiberglass. Look for a name brand FRP kit to ensure quality and durability.That said, not a day has passed since I molded by rear bomex bumper and no name side skirts I didn't regret it. What I wouldn't give...

Crap like this is why I'm swapping to a manual once my AT dies...less electrical gremlins to chase down when you have a problem.

I'm willing to bet you're only talking about the shock nut being tight. Were the coilovers installed correctly? All collars and spacers installed? Are the a-arm bolts and all other suspension component bolts tight? I've seen shocks installed on springs without the collar and they rattle...

Agreed with 91stocker.I welded two flex plates together and used red loctite on the bolts. If the plate break, I'll pick up a kiggly plate (assuming he's making 7 bolt plates now...). I saw ARP converter bolts for our cars on one of our vendor websites the other day, I might look into...

Great solution for someone who wants to run a negative offset or a 9" wide rim. I'm hesitant to believe the car in the pictures did it for anything other than looks. Aren't most bolt-on fender flares, like the ones in the picture off a 240z, just "bolted-on" over the existing fender? I get it...

UPDATE: Dad picked up the dash and sent me these pics - as you can see, it's a carbon "look" fabric, with maroon stitching that matches the 95' Eagle Wildberry Pearl paint.I won't be back to the shop until probably October, so it won't be installed for awhile. Once it's installed and I can...

You guys sure don't have the most "scenic" drive do you? After you leave Washington and the northern rockies....it's pretty much ... Illinois ...until you get to Norwalk. Drive safe.

No one spends the money on Clutchmasters, ACT, Spec, et al anymore? :idontknow:

Make sure you aren't more than a few mils thick with the mud. Otherwise it'll crack or shrink over time. Most of the bodywork you've done will be covered by the skirts, so you should be good.Overall, the work looks fine. Make sure you COVER that bare metal with a lot of primer. You don't...

:rolleyes: .... if people could just keep personal nonsense and jealousy out of internet car enthusiast forums, the world would be a better place.Sick car man, hope I can get to a shootout someday and check out that bad boy! :thumb:

Check Crutchfield for mouting depth. There's not a lot of room behind that panel.

Just a thought...how's your IC pipe routed? Short route? How much boost?

So, you think it would be a good idea to spend that "week-to-week" money on a part that serves no purpose other than looks and cannot be properly installed on a DSM? Flawed logic. If one were tight with money, they should be spending their discretionary funds on keeping the car running or making...

I must've too ... guess those tow truck drivers know more about DSMs than we do :idontknow:I'd pay money to see this thing towed. It'd be like that vidoe of the Geo Storm stuck in the snowbank and they try to pull it out by hooking up a tow strap to the bumper cover....and end up tearing...

If you meant actual "fabric". then yes, it's actual fabric.

====UPDATE====Went up to GB this past weekend because the guy said it'd be done Friday. It wasn't. I guess the shop was too humid and the adhesive wouldn't stick. So they're going to try again this week. The material is sewn, they just have to apply and trim it. I'm hoping they get it done...

Make sure you have an appropriate mix of water & coolant but other than that, when it's 100 degrees out, with an FMIC and the A/C on, it's going to get hot. Heat shields, ceramic coating parts, exhaust wrap and ducting/vents can help get temps down - but when it's that hot out, a turbo car is...

I would generally agree with bmoha - while I still replace the stock pads on all my other cars (my Ridgeline, my sister's Accord ... my wife's Commander might even get a set) with EBC Greens, I couldn't honestly say there's a significant different between EBC Greens and most OEM pads. As far as...

That's one benefit to having the "economy" motor :thumb:

Eibach pro-kit and KYB AGX or Tokico shocks. Done and Done. For a drop and a decent ride, you don't need anything else.

I'll give you $2K for it, straight cash homie. That's an 11% return within 30 days. Can't do much better than that :)

Last time I was welding and cutting on my Talon, my Dad looked at me and shook his head and said "some day some one is going to attempt to restore that car back to factory". Imagine how many fathers said the same thing to their sons in the 40's, 50's & 60's.

Flex-A-Lite, FAL, Perma-Cool, et al have 12"-16" puller (or pusher fans...dependent on the wiring) fans that work with external WG setups and do a great job pulling heat out of the radiator. When I installed my external WG setup, I ended up switching to a 12" puller fan on the passenger side and...

You can use the front roll stop inserts on either one. It's the rear roll stop that's different, I believe (it's been so long since I installed mine on my auto I can't remember).Instead of just getting inserts, you can get full poly roll-stop replacements that fits autos or manuals from...

You mean you like to impress everyone that gets in your car with your "fuel computer". No, people don't buy a real tuning tool and leave their band-aid solution in the car as a "monitoring gauge". What would you be monitoring? Throttle position?The FP Green is a solid turbo, but FP has...

Ouch. Tankslapper? So, I have to ask...Why?... I mean, I'm all for an adrenaline rush, but geez man. Time to take it easy. Your body can't keep taking all this abuse. Gotta' slow down brother.

Not done yet. They had a few full interior projects ahead of mine, so I'm not expecting a call until early July. When I pick it up, you guys will be the first to know.No, you can't ask.... :pI removed the passenger side airbag and used the airbag cover as a template, built a form for a...

Not on topic, but what happened Glenn? Don't tell me you crashed one for your 50's (BTW, I bought a 12-bar off you a couple years back...you probably don't remember, but I was going to use one of your Honda bars on a TTR-50...it worked BTW)....

10-4.

Spoken like a true DSMer. Why buy from a reputable shop when you can get unreliable ebay crap for half the price. :idontknow:OP - your car, your call.

You can access the starter from the top of the motor - it's under the intake manifold. There isn't any real way around it - you need the starter to turn the motor. It's easy enough to remove in a parking lot with a couple sockets as it's just held on by two bolts.
