Basically i wasnt sure where to post this but this seemed to be the best area. We have a new Chevy duromax diesel for pulling the horse trailer and it seems to have problems overheating when going up big hills... this is pulling like 12-16k pounds. So I am trying to apply some of my knowledge...
Ok basically, the problem is that there is something going on with the boost control. I have my MBC backed out all the way. Now, the boost should only be able to go to about 9psi and thats it. It does that.. SOMETIMES.. other times i get no control at all and the boost just keeps climbing. I...

I am getting my head gasket, valve cover gasket, and waterpump changed out and the shop wants 650 parts and labor. Do you guys think this is a fair price? It has been a while since i took it to a mechanic.. just dont have the time to work on it myself anymore.One question I wanted to ask...
Basically, I have a new turbine housing on my 16g and it seems that everything I try to do there is no way to control boost. I have a Joe P MBC and ive hooked it up every which way and set it up and down. Everything worked fine before. Basically I do a pull and the boost just keeps climbing...
I was wondering if there is a FMIC kit that replaces all of the intercooler piping. From J-pipe to intercooler to throttle body replaced. From what I can tell most intercoolers either make you fab your own pipe or connect to existing pipes. If someone could point me in the right direction...
Ok between these 2 pics of rims which would look best on my car (dark metallic green w/ black top) . Same rim just different color. First is gunmetal while the second is hyperblack.
I am looking at buying some software that gives me the ability to start doing some basic editing of vids as well as audio. Some of the things im looking for is like recording streaming music off the net, cutting it up into individual songs, and formating each song to make my own personal CDs...
Yep.. just like the title says. I went from a 500 dollar rebuild to now they want 1000 dollars to replace it with a used one because they say my current one is too messed up to rebuild. What in the hell?! So.. if i tell them to just put it back together and do nothing they are still going to...
Ok basically I was driving to work this morning and I saw this crazy looking device on a civic. It looked like a hole had been cut on the passenger side of the hood near the firewall. I chrome pipe about 3" was sticking out of this hole and was tilted slightly back and to the right. After...
Ok basically I have a 95 AWD and the rear differential is making a lot of noise now. It starts to whine at about 20mph and gets louder the faster I go. I know the bearings inside must be rubbing as I found metal shavings while chaning the fluid in the differential. I need some help looking at...
Hey guys I am going to be switching out the 14b housing thats one my 16g right now for a nice bullseye housing with the 38mm wastegate flapper installed and already ported and everything. Do you think I should take the time and take pics and document the steps to do a tech article write up.. or...
Hey guys I just got my AFPR from FullThrottleSpeed after 13 weeks of waiting and was just looking for any last minute tips before I do the install. Its a bolt on so I dont think I will have to worry about much there. Do I need to lube anything as I install...pipe tape? Will the fuel lines be...
Hey guys I have been trying to find some things to throw in my engine bay to dress it up a bit. I am looking for stuff like chrome fluid caps, fuse box cover, spark plug well cover... things along those lines. The only shop I could find that offered engine dress up stuff was MachV but they are...
Yep thats right.. World of Warcraft is released today! Who all is getting it? I cant wait to get off of work and pick up my copy. East coast PvP here I come.
SO like I was driving my first car ever. One night I saw some red light light up by these circle things with numbers on them in front of me. I thought nothing of it and just kept driving. Well... big mistake as the car started to stutter and I quickly pulled into this place with a bunch of...
OK basically I am looking to replace my rear differential due to high level of noise its putting out. The shops wants close to 600 bucks to service it and i think it would be more cost effective to just find a used one to replace it with. I dont know crap about the drivetrain. I see the DSM...
I am to have my turbo off this weekend and was thinking about taking a dremmel to the little lip in the collector of the manifold. Will the dremel do the job for this little bit of porting? Anyone see a problem with porting it out with the manifold still on the car?
Ok guys i searched and couldnt find it. Called the dealer and got the bolt size as 10X80 but the pitch is unkown. Anyone help me with this one? Also, dealer says 10X31 with 1.25 pitch on the 02 housing to turbo bolts. I am buying 10X30 with 1.25 pitch that 1 difference in length I wouldnt...
Ok I know I sound like an idiot asking this but I honostly don't know how to check / change the fluid on a manual transmission or the rear differential. If anyone could enlighten me that would be great.
1. I am switching out my 6cm unported turbine housing for a ported 7cm ported housing. Dont ask why that housing is on a 16g .. I have no idea. Anyways, from what I understand my spool time will go up but it will increase my pulling power correct? Wonder how much of a difference I will...
Here is my new intake. Yes I know the thick hose is for the BOV, the smaller one is for the canister for emissions, the even smaller one is for the PCV vavle.. but whats the super small one on the front side for? I looked at my stock intake pipe and it looks like its capped off. So... why is...
Basically my car was supposed to come with a Big 16g when i bought it. I didn't know much about turbos at the time.. but had an idea. I took the intake off the inlet and snapped a pic.looks like a 16g right? had a friend look up the numbers on the compressor housing and it matches...
What other turbos have the same inlet size of a 14b/16g and fit in a TD05H 7cm turbine housing? Something that offers a little more power than a 16g if possible. 18g? 19c? I am pretty sure the 20G is a 3" inlet and thats bigger than a 16g.
hey guys.. I am trying to find some replacements for my o2 housing bolts and found some that will fit from a local fastener place. They said the metal is a 10 point something hardness and grade 8 ... I know this has to do with stress and heat resistance so is this any good? Will it be able to...
I couldnt find a thread about how to change a turbine housing so I thought I would ask.I have a big16g and im going to buy the bullseye 7cm turbine housing and I want to know just hard hard its going to be to remove my current housing and put the new one on.. any info would help.

Ok so I have boost creep and I am looking to get rid of it. Basically my original plan was to get the flapper mod by sending it to slowboy racing... but I wanted to send my manifold with it to get ported. Manifold is a pain.. broke one stud and stripped 2 nuts after that. I gave up trying to...
You can check out my mods in my profile so far. I am getting my manifold ported and the flapper mod installed on my turbo next week. So, I am starting to save up money for my next mod. This is going to either be DSMlink so I can start tuning my car / stutter box / logger and all that fun...
Ok, I have posted before about a problem I have with a ticking coming from my engine / tranny area.. Basically it ticks when I sit in neutral with my foot off the clutch. It will stop soon as I press the clutch in. I have been told that it is prolly a throw-out bearing. Ok, I have noticed...
Whats up guys. Me and my friend are always working on our cars and are trying to finsih them both up. Soon as we are done we are going to the track and going to line up vs each other. I have a 95 Tsi AWD as you can see.. and he is running with a 91 3000GT VR4. I am not asking who will win ...
Hey guys, I am going to be building a custom enclosure for my 12" infinity sub in the area where the spare is supposed to go. I am having some difficulty as to where to mount the amp for it. I know the enclose isnt going to take up all of the area in that hole. I was kinda wanting to mount...
Ok here it is. Took me about a 1/2 hour to install. Pretty easy. Some pieces though I had to reglue as they didnt have very good adhesive.Please excuse the fact my CD player is not mounted and just sitting in the hole. I used the face holder to cover up the top area lol. Thats my next...
Hey guys I am trying to install a new dash kit I bought but the adhesive that is on the kit kinda sucks. Pieces are starting to feel off and I installed it last night. What would you recommend for making these things stick? I thought about just using super glue but I figure I would ask on the...

First, I took my car down to the Mitsubishi dealer cause well it may SAY talon but we all know its just an eclipse. They say they wont do recalls on Eagles.. so I went to the chrysler dealer. They took a glance at it and just said, "We need to look this up". After about 30 minutes 2-3 guys...
Let me explain the problem. I can haer a ticking sound come from the engine bay. The ONLY time i hear it is when i am idle and I put it in neutral and let my foot off the clutch. I am not sure if it ticks while im driving cause its not loud enough for me to hear over my exhaust + fuel pump...
Hey guys does anyone know the way to install this flapper. Does it just fit where the old one was? I might as well port the opening a bit while its out. I did try to search for it but could not find the actual install of it.
Just got my new exhaust in and i thought i would share it with you guys as not many have this type. This is a VRS exhaust ordered from Slowboyracing. It is the 2.5" and the only sell mandrel bent. You can of course get 3" like most people do though. It cost me 700 bucks shipped for the full...
I just got done installing my exhaust system and took it for a test drive. The car makes a screaching noise for a few seconds when i started it up.. hmm. My A/F seemed a tad lean but nothing real bad.. then i took it to the street and floored it i got to high RPM and it makes this high pitch...
