I have a problem, I'm needing to get a balance shaft eliminator kit installed. Also needing to find out how much. This is on a 2g. I'm still in the process of learning the whole entity of DSM, and don't know how to do this process yet. According to the symtoms it's the balane shaft giving me problems, would like to also find out if there is anyone local that sells these balance shaft eliminator kits. Thanks in advance guys... and I can be reached at [email protected] :dsm:
 
www.roadraceengineering.com here in SoCal has em, as far as mechanics out there in AZ, talk to DR1665 he has the connections out there and can point you in the correct direction.
 
http://www.store.partsdinosaur.com

He's located in Phoenix and has pretty much every stock part you can imagine for a 4G63T. Prices are excellent and delivery is prompt as can be. I was on this site just last night around midnight and he has the balance shaft eliminator kit available.

I have no experience working on a 4G63 aside from replacing the alternator and installing a head, but I have a 4G63T project I am picking up in New Mexico next month which will be getting this same balance shaft removal, so I would be interested in stopping by to lend a hand/watch when the time comes, if that was okay.

Keep me posted.

Wow!!! This is turning out GREAT! ROFL I'm getting alot of feedback, this is awesome guys!!! :thumb: thanks alot!!! I appreciate all the help I'm getting from everyone, all this feed is great! DR1665 I'll for sure keep you posted! I'm going to aim for this weekend if possible. I've got someone off here to help in what seems to be a mass project for me, I've also got tools, a huge! carport, engine hoiste, jacks, hoping we can do it at my house, but we will see what my help says! I went on that website, and the prices are super excellent! Thanks everyone for all your support! I was told by a friend of mine that I should get involved with a DSM forum, and that I would meet people like myself, I was like... whats a forum??? now I know... and its been a great! experience thus far! I'm finally begining to see people more like myself... thats awesome! and again thanks! hoping to meet more of you guys! I was supposed to go to that big picnic, but thats when my car broke! for the third time! I was anxious too go to! I also went to In and Out, one thursday night, but no one showed back a couple of months ago. Well guys, I'll keep everyone posted on whats up, thanks :dsm: LOL
 
Glad to hear it. Unfortunately, I'm out for most of this weekend. I've got tickets to go see Evita Saturday night, so I'll be tied up from about 1500hrs on. Maybe Sunday I could roll by with the GF to take a peek at what's going on.

Your friend who suggested you join a DSM forum was absolutely right. You do meet more DSMers this way. Only thing is, now you get the DSM bug and you start posting here, on DSM_SW and az2gnt. I have no idea how many DSMers there are on DSM_SW that are in Phoenix (a LOT), but we have at least 30 on az2gnt. Keep all your resources at your disposal and you will go far.
 
There is no project that cant be done. All the DSMers in AZ i know are more than willing to help with projects. From GST AWD Conversions to building 2.4's to throwing on a 200 shot of N2O. Its been done and done well. Some of us are usually go to the Pavillions on Saturday night and then head to Bell around 10 p.m. Where we meet with many other car enthusiasts and go grab a bite to eat while talking about projects, setting up a Video shoots etc. (Did one on Sunday Dec 4th will post it when its edited). We have some pretty wild setups on our cars so if you have any questions please ask. GL on the project!

Isn't that always the way it's been with us? I've never managed to make it out to help you. Of course, I have no idea who you are up until now, but still. ;)

I need to pick up a piston for a white elephant gift up in the NW valley Saturday afternoon before the play, but if you guys post up some cross-streets, maybe the GF and I will swing by and at least meet you guys. :thumb:
 
HAHA saturday. This thing is going down friday night. Should be done friday night as long as no unforseen problems arise. I will get his addy so you can at least check the place out.

hey guys i noticed you are going to get together and work on a car for a fellow DSM'r. Im not from around town but live in Yuma, Az and Im going to be going to the phoenix area for this weekend. I was wondering if the local DSM'ers could help me fix an electrical short i have in my gs-t. I keep blowing the fuse under the hood called Illumination room or some thing like that. Its the fuse right next to the rado fuse. I had not done any electrical work, this just happened all of the sudden. Also i was going to go to firebirdraceway for the SCO night but apperantly they got cancelled. Anything else to do in the big city of phoenix? Let me know guys if you are willing to lend a hand to a DSM owner in help. Thanks.

Update:

I can't find the number of thanks to give to 95blackgsturbo for helping/mentoring me on this project. Shamelesly to say that my valves still knock at rev, I think I also bent my valves when I jumped timing. So I'll be having to take my head off here soon, and have it re-done, I'll keep everyone posted. Dyablo came down with some of his boys, Jessetalon as well, thanks guys for coming by and introducing yourselves... it's cool to meet all of you... I'll keep everyone posted on this project... :dsm:
 
Yeah adam was saying your valves are all toast, that sucks man... :p just happened to you before too.... ugh what a PITA

glad the balance shaft shit went well.
 
Yea. Went a lot smoother than expected but it happens from time to time. Oh well....looking forward to getting that head redone and see what your car can do.
 
Thanks guys for letting my boys and I stop at your place and get a chance to see some of your rides. Special thanks to Jesse for fixing my electrical problem, this guys knows what he is doing and is very organzied :thumb: . Never thought I would ever see so many DSM in one place OMG . But honestly guys thanks for all your help, the phoenix community was really help full. Hope fully you guys can work your magic on my ride and we can all go crusing together :cool: .
 
Yea to bad we were short one...LOL. Blowing a tire at 80+ mph on the interstate is pretty fun though if you have never tried it.
