Ok, I am going to be putting on a Mitsu MLS head gasket this weekend and I'm unsur eof the torque specs.My gasket now isnt blown, I'm just upgrading to support the 50 trim better. I know the stock torque spec is 72, and 85 with ARP studs, which my block has. But I was told by some local...

The new GSX is most deff getting painted blue, but i dont know what blue.. At first i wanted ...Nogaro Blue ('00 Audi S4) Daytona Blue (03 350Z) 976 Dodge viper blueThose were my main three, any other suggestions...?

I was wondering if any of the talented artists on here could outline this car for me. Kind of like the first step of cell shading I think?The finished product just needs to be white lines outlining the car. I know its blurry in the back, but hopefully a line can be grabbed from it.Its for...

I need some help here, i am planning on getting an FMIC very soon but suddenly i am very confused about what to get...Since im in school and on a very tight budget, i was going to get an Ebay core and do all the piping myself...So i need to know, Tube and fin, bar and plate, what the...

Oki, long story short, over the winter i put a new MLS HG, bigger FMIC, PTE 5031RE, blah blah blah, and recently got it running. Everything is fine, short of my coolant problemI know a lot of people have the same problem, and I've read a lott of posts about it, but my car constantly fills the...

If this needs to be moved, I'm sorry, I just figured it was ok because it all relates to my turbo setup.Long story short, the way the comp cover has to be clocked to clear everything, it hits my stock rad fan. Any idea about how thick a SPAL 12" is compared to the stocker?Also, one...

I jut need some fellow DSMer's opinions....i just installed my FMIC today, still have yet to fab up the piping, but i kind of want to put a red neon behind the FMIC to just give it a little more distinction. Its a small core and behind black mesh so i think an outlining red light would be...

I know this sounds like a dumb question, so I guess I'm just going to explain the whole situation. I already got rid of the turbo and upgraded, so this is really just for closure...Over the winter I did some work to my car, random stuff, including an e-manage install. I was going to try and...

Ok, So the whole thing is finally in, I'm just questioning my water line setup. This is how I was running things on my Big16G, and never had any known problems with it.Please excuse my Newb paint drawing, but its simple, and it works to explain everything...I think.If this is going to...

Anyone know where I can get my hands on some flanges to make a manifold? I need the 4 bolt flange that bolts to the hotside of the turbo, and also the 02 hosuing flange as well...Thanks guys

So I figured while i have the turbo not installed yet, I'd get the hotside ported and coated before it goes in for good. Not really having the time, or the desire to be breathing in cast iron dust for an hour or so, I had my local machine shop do the work. Only cost me $40, which I think is...

Well, as the title says, my ball bearing 50 trim should be in by the end of this week.I guess I just had some questions that maybe you guys could hep me answer...1. Divided hot side.....as the turbo sits, the hot side is divided. I know when you cut the web out it helps to control...

Might be a repost, but i thought this was a pretty cool site....www.dnscoop.comAccording to them, DSMTuners.com is worth $62KThis value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity...

Hey guys, thought you all might like to check this thing out. It is officially the first one on the East Coast. The latest and Greatest from Turbonetics, the GT-K 550.This thing is just plain old bad-assed. Can't wait to get it on the car and start playing around.Anyways, here's some...

Ok guys, I'm entirely on the fence with this whole "choose a turbo" situation.I had an E3B16G, which decided to quit on me, so i need a new Turbo. So far the options are, stick with the 16g, knowing i'll want more eventually. The Gt32..which looked pretty good, and now the Dual Ball...

Ok guys, i need everyone's opinions here. I recently found my turbo to be destroyed in more then one way, so it looks like its time to upgrade maybe.I'm was runing an E3B16G, with mods to deffinately support bigger.-rewired 255 -650's -FMIC -Evo3 Manifold and 02 housing, 3" from...

Ok, so like to title says, i've searched and read the procedure for replacing the rear pinion seal, and i entirely understand it. My only problem is that i can not get my hands on an Inch lb deflecting beam type torque wrench to measure the preload. The only one i found starts at 25 inch lbs...

well after searching the forum, i only saw 2 posts about megan coilovers. And 50% of the replies were asking about a 1g version.Well about a week ago they came out with a 1G version. I work for a company that is a big distributor for Megan, and they let us know about them as soon as they...

I know i have another post with this mentioned, but the title is mis-leading, so I'm making a new one...Ok, just like the title sais, i need help tuning my car. Mods include...Walbro 255 (rewired), AFPR, 650's, FMIC, Eprom w/stage 3 chip, Evo Big16, Evo III Mani and 02 housing, 3" back from...

Well, first and foremost, I'm curious as to which method of tuning would work out better for me. I have access to a Dyno as well as enough knowledge to tune. Not at all calling myself a "tuner", but i understand the basics. Right now I am just running a 1g MAF, 650's ( i know they are a...

Well through work (my boss knows the head marketer for the show) i got free tickets to the International Auto Salon this weekend in AC. Wondering if any fellow DSM'rs are gonna be there or not

So here's the rundown...car got a new motor in and running on March 20th, since then the car has not run for more then 2 weeks without something going wrong, radiator, head gasket, T-Belt tensioner, on and on and on...This is my most recent problem...Turbo was rebuilt 4 months ago by a very...

Well after a strange noise started emitting from my engine bay...i snooped around, and saw a very werid rubbing pattern on my T-belt, so i said "uh-oh" and decided to replace it. Well Upon removal, this is waht i found. This is why i say i'm lucky i caught this early enough...

ok, so heres the rundown....the car has a new Radiator, Thermostat, Cap, ECT sensor (ECU) and no leaks in the system at all....My problem is that the car is constantly filling up the overflow tank, right to the very maximum, and then it proceeds to run out the over flow drain tube...

well today after work i performed the TPS test from Vfaq, moving the throttle open and closed to see the resistance values...and right at about 4k ohms, theres an open in the potetiometer, so that could very well be a big problem for me correct?I wanna make sure, since the TPS is about a...

I know i've posted problems before, but i just cant seem to find a solution...When i first got my car running again, i noticed that my A/f guage wasnt cycling back and forth under any throttle, so i said "hmm, 02 sesnor must be bad" sure enough, the next day it threw a check engine light...

So like my other threads, im going to start by saying that im about 230 miles on a freshly rebuilt motor, running with 650's, a 255 and just installed today Aeromotive AFPR...Anyways, my palm's battery died right away today so i could monitor my fuel trims at all....But to make a long story...

well to make a long story short, i just rebuilt my entire motor and the car has been running for about a week, driving about 2 days.I got my hands on an EPROM ECU from a buddy of mine, as far as he knows, its good. Well i really want to order a DSM Chip to compensate for my 650's and just...

Just a thread stating how excited i am that i might have a car again soon. Spun my number 1 rod bearing, so i has a freshly rebuilt motor all ready to go in. Unfortunately its stock, just 8:1 compression now, new lifters, new oil pump, rods, pistons, ARP hardware. I'm just excited...i cant...

But anywho, if this isnt the right forum now, just move it i guess?But heres the question, i have a non-turbo guage cluster in my car, redlines at 7k and speedo goes by 10's...10-20-30 etc....All the guage overlays that i like, that redline at 7k, go by 5's...5-10-15 etc...this is...

ok, first, i know this isnt exactly a problem, but im rebuilding my motor right now and just had a question.Before my motor threw a bearing, we were messing around with it at work. We started the car with the valve cover off and all of a sudden, these 2 litle holes shot oil 2-3 ft in the...

I'm really interested in getting a Stage II Chip for my car but i know that i dont have an EPROM ECU, so i need to get my hands on one first dont i? I cant just socket the ECU i have and install the DSM Chip right?

Ok, so last night i went to make a log....3rd gear, 2500 - 7000 RPM. I made the run, up to about 6800 and stopped. After looking at the log, i left the side of the road and relaized that i had no boost and there was a very very loud whining noise coming from the rear of my car, so loud in fact...

Well i have been logging for a week now and i am still having problems with knock and timing advance. My timing seems to jump all over the place and i get knock at low rpm under partial throttle. My low fuel trim pegs at 140% and i cant get it to come back to normal. I did get the mid and...

Ok, i just got and installed my logger tonight. I understand (or at least tihnk i do) the basics of tuning with an AFC. But i want to be sure before i go doing anything.My FTRL, FTRM, FTRH are all at like 138.9 all the time. Now obviously this means the car is running to rich...correct me...

Well with all the puppy threads and pics being tossed around, i thought i would share mine too. Black one is Midnight, Brown one is Dakota, and the mother is Lissa. Pure bread English Springers :thumb:And look what else we got today :|*Edit = Pics are loading backwards, snow then puppies

All i know is that it was a national contest, and the truck was built of a '37 Ford, but nothing is really 37 ford, everything from the frame to the suspension was custom made for this truck...This was the best picture i can find...for build-up info go to www.rightcoastcars.com :thumb:

Ok, so when i got my FMIC, i made my own piping, but i was fussy and went short route, around the radiator, with side to side end tanks. SO basically i have some of the craziest bends imaginable for IC piping, and with all the welds, i feer that i have a leak, or many leaks for that matter...
