Have a spare 1g manual transmission Im willing to part ways with. Recently replaced the side cover. Ive only bolted up the transmission and filled it with fluid. Never ran the engine to understand the condition of the transmission internals. Was bought from someone who said there was roughly 90k...
Wanted to get everyones opinion. Im about done throwing my car together and Im running into an issue for a no crank no start. This means when I go to start the car, I turn the key to start and all I hear is a click coming from behind the radio. I believe it to be the mpi relay.Knowing this I...
Wanting to get your guys thoughts.I re-timed one of my 4g63 engines and after sitting for a few months I went to place it in the car. After getting placed it in the vehicle I noticed that the timing belt was rather sloppy between the cam gears. Since I just placed the engine in I figured I...
Wondering if anyone has ever replaced these studs? They are the studs that hold the tank to the body itself. Looking at my shell it looks that most are rounded and rusted. I could always use a die to clean up the non existing threads however I dont think that would be enough. Picture attached is...
Hello Fellow DSM/EVO enthusiast.Have you ever been to a "DSM/EVO" Shootout and here the person next to you ask..."So when is the next GTR running"? I may have heard this every year since shops started to make parts for the GTR. To me it begs the question, isnt this the "DSM/EVO" Shootout? I...
So recently I bought a 1990 laser 2.0 non turbo for a daily driver that will soon be turned into an awd dsm once I find a shell. Thing is Im having a charging system problem. Thinking it was an alternator I bought a 90amp from autozone and my problem still exists. I called autozone this morning...
Its time to build another 1G AWD N/A!!As one knows, N/A's dont produce a lot of power..Itll prolly stay that way. This car is going to made with reliability in mind. For now we will start with the basics. Recently I bought a 1990 Plymouth Laser RS from an old guy in my area. Car has 82,000...
This is my 95 420a with the engine off, key to the "on" position, rolling...I replaced the cam sensor, coil, and plugs. Im throwing in a new fuel filter tomorrow. My 420a knowledge is lacking.When the car is on, at idle the car runs fine. As soon as I start to move the cars RPM jumps all...
Whenever I pull my vacuum hose on the aero afpr my car dies. Im SD and the only thing I can think is that the diaphragm has a hole in it. Maybe the fuel pump is not seated all they way?What say you, people of the great tuners. :)
So I sold my 11 sec dsm over last summer to buy an evo. Put a 2.4L in the evo and DD it everywhere. Thinking I want to get into rally I figure, WHY NOT MAKE A DSM. I already have a profound knowledge of these cars, why not. So here she goes. Ill up load some pictures of it now. More will come...
Hey everyone,Im looking for some ideas anyone might have for a 1g or 2g that hasnt came around yet. Im a design engineer and I want to get into making more things for the DSM community/Specific Members. It is going to be more for fun than anything else. Its pretty cool that I can say my job...
Well I was finally able to get the car out to the strip while being able to boost over my stock waste gate pressure. All I can say, is that its time for a new clutch. My act2600 hates me now. haha. This was at only 22psi with 9:1 compression. I have been shooting for the 11's and I can finally...
Well I was able to make it up to Lapeer Mi to the drag strip for a few runs. On the way up I found out that I could only boost to 14psi. Which just happened to be stock external wastegate pressure. I did find out at the track that the solenoid was bad so I figured I would still see how the car...
Well if the weather looks good for the weekend I will be heading to the track to hopefully bust out some 11 second passes for the year, given I dont break my trans. Anyone else that wants to join come on out. Test and tune starts at noon I believe. Cost is around 25 for the day to race.
Well I was out in the garage with my dad and we came upon a walbro he picked up from "our in" at walbro. The part number is a F20000, which I found out has a bigger inlet then the GSS series. He got the pump to run for a boat motor, and Im thinking the person we had make it, made it for an...
So I have had a problem with my car recently. When I start the car it normally is fine but as I go to drive it the car will fall on its face, sometime stalling out. My wideband reads super lean as well. When Im driving I can also feel it buck sometimes like its cutting out. I replaced the...
Well I just got done building my motor with a manley/mahle combo and have around 176 miles on the new motor. My compression test came back to be the following:Cylinder 1: 150
Cylinder 2: 150
Cylinder 3: 155
Cylinder 4: 150Ive done some research and I see that 9:1 usually is around...
Was checking out some Fords and look what they came out with! How sick would it be to run one on a dsm? And for all those people running twin chargers imagine how much space it may free up. :pKinda interesting to check out. Heres the website.First Look: Ford's All-New 6.7-Liter V-8 Power...
I have a question on the main bearings I just received. I opened them up and found that full groves (from end to end) were only in half of the bearings as expected. I know that these go in the block. As for the bearings that go into the main caps, is there supposed to be holes in them? I got on...
Ive been doing some searches but I havent came up with much. When would someone consider using a main girdle on a 1g? What kind of torque or horsepower numbers should one be worried about the caps fretting? I saw on their website that it was doing it on a car just under 600 horse. But what about...
Story,
I was driving home to see my family one weekend and I got about 10 minutes away from my house when my car starts to act funny. I look at my oil pressure and I see it fluctuation from 20-65 psi while I'm driving. I also heard a weird noise so I pulled off the highway. Everything seemed...
Well as the title states. I have a .70 ar exhaust housing that bolts onto my dsm manifold. It also slides onto my 16g. Where would these come from? I haven't been able to find anything about them anywhere. I thought some companies made these but was trying to find a link. Thanks for the help!
So i have bleed the system many times and still have not came up with any ideas why my car isn't disengaging. I replaced the slave cylinder and master cylinder with oem and I have yet to get my car to shift well. The clutch line is also a steal braided line. The pedal assembly was sent to shep...
Well I just switched to speed density and Im fighting an idle surge so it is hindering me from getting airflowperrev to .25
For starters there is no boost leaks.
I tested a throttle body and stock injectors from a buddies car that runs smoothly at idle. All sensors were his as well.(no change)
I...
In dsmlink with both grounds selected my ISC only reads 9. I cant get it to move either way. I know it is supposed to be at 30. Any ideas why it wont move to 30 when im in BISS mode? All the coils are good. I took it out of the intake manifold and its not moving in or out when the key is...
Alright well im in the midst of dialing in my idle and I think i may have been scammed in the past on my injectors. I have taken them to the track and they flowed 90% on e-85. When i was at the track my global and dead time were set for fic 950's. However I just had them out and they say denso...
So i had a bad idle surge and I finally found out it was my BISS screw. Anyways I have started all over in tuning my car and i was setting my airflow/rev to be 0.25 and my combft to be 0-3%. With doing all of this it has made me put my deadtime for these injectors to 600 and my wideband is...
Alright so I have tried searching but I would like some opinion from you guys. I have had an idle surge for awhile and i decided to check my isc today since I had some down time.All 4 ohm readings were 40 ohms. And when i hooked up the 6v battery to the motor it only twitched. It didn't...
I have been tuning on v2.5 for awhile now and i have been thinking about speed density. Since im running the v3 software but still chipped with v2.5 can i still run it? Or do i have to upgrade my ecu to v3? Thanks for the help, I have been trying to search here for an hour and havent been able...
Well every since i did my rear breaks my rear tires are both wobbling. When the tire is tightened down the rotor should move with the tire. Well on mine, i can move the tire back and forth a little and the rotor stays in place. I found out that if i place washers in-between the rotor and my rim...
Well I finally was able to install my carbon fiber hood and aerocatch hood pins. I was hoping to get some feed back on how it looks. It was a little frustrating installing the hood pins because of the size I had to cut out of the hood but with a few bends here and there I think it came out alright.
So i just put another transmission in my car, and to make a long story short, when i was done i didn't have 5th or reverse. So I then adjusted the cable under the shift and now i can find 5th and reverse. Well i put it into 5th and i have 5th. I go to back up, i put it in reverse, the lights...
I was wondering if anyone could help me with some pictures of where the bolts go that mount the transmission to the engine. I think i am missing the bolt that goes in the opposite way, as the other bolts. I have searched and i did find the vfaq that shows all of the bolts, but its not making...
So my profec B spec 2 decided to act up today. Everything was fine then all of a sudden i only had wastegate pressure. I was just driving normally when this happened. I did a boost leak and theres non to be found. Everything is hooked up right, it just stopped allowing me able to control boost...
So my car has been running like crap when i have been cruising around and today i hooked up dsmlink to see what was going on, and my throttle percentage was reading 100% however my tps was reading the correct voltage. My idle wasnt sticking high and my wideband was reading rich. What sensor...
So i have been out tuning my car for a good hour and i noticed something as i was in Dsmlink. My airflow is only 162.7 gm/sec which converts to around 21.5 lbs/min. Im sitting at 300 horsepower in Dsmlink. (I know its not accurate, but I've read on here that a person dyno'd their car and dsmlink...
So i have found an E-85 fill up station close by my house and i was thinking about switching over. Since i live in michigan and we have some cold winters i was thinking about doing a 50/50 mix with e-85 and 93. The thing is i have 950 injectors right now and Im seeing about 70% duty cycle. Do...
So im in the middle of rebuilding my motor when i ordered my fp2 cams to finish up the build from extremepsi. They got in tonight so im all excited. Open them up what are they? compcams 101200's.... I dont know about all of you, but i have been ordering from them guys for a while and nothing...
So i have done a bunch of tuning and im running into an issue. i have been running sorta lean so i thought my 190 pump was going out. i then changed it out with a walbro 255. as you can see i am now running 10.4s almost all the way untill 6500k.
At that point its like i am back firing. as you...
I just started to tune my dsm and I was wondering what you guys thought of my log. The beginning of the log is a 3rd gear pull. Any help would be nice. Im thinking that my timing is a little messed up and im not sure what i should do to it in the timing map. It seems a little rich from 4500-5500...
I have tried searching but was able to find anything fitting my case.I was doing fron breaks on my 91 awd tsi and 2 bolts snapped off when i was taking off the wheels. not sure how, but they did.
my main question is, can i replace them without taking off the hib? becuase there is a cup...
Well I just got my dsm about a month ago and i am having some trouble with it. The car boosts fine up to 5,000 rpm but as soon as i get to 5 it feels like the clutch is slipping and it stays at 5. This doesnt makes sence to me because if the clutch was slipping then it would slip in the lower...
