    t4 manifold on t3 turbo (not adapter)

    cxracing has a new tubular manifold I want to test out. The walls of the tubing is much thicker than any cxracing or ebay style manifold Ive ever seen. Much heavier duty. It comes as t3/t4 combo with the opening being t4 sized. I have precision 6466 t3 exh housing. My concern, obviously the exh...

    axle c clip broke in trans. taking trans cover off.

    I wasnt able to get the magnet to bend and go down into the section where it is probably resting. is it possible that running fluid through it would run it down toward the drain plug or the back section where I could take that cover off?

    axle c clip broke in trans. taking trans cover off.

    My passenger axle wouldn't come out, had to pull trans and use my "grim reaper prybar" and pry it out. In this process, while trying to easily pry and rotate axle, the axle popped out but with only have the C clip. So this means the other half is in the trans. !great! what is involved with...

    1G Jay Racing alternator kit does not fit

    I meant driver side of the bracket. The bushing needs to go on the driver side of the bracket. Late night rambles.. sorry.

    1G Jay Racing alternator kit does not fit

    I as well had this issue. It wasn't 1/4" into the frame. More like 1/16" or so. And if you are using power steering on a 1g with Saturn alt like I am. The bushing provided has to be put toward the passenger side. It WONT work on the other side with p/s pump. I had to offset the alternator with a...

    Cabin fogs up like crazy

    it is quite possible that there is a minute leak in your heater core. does the windshield have a light film on it? the film wont defog, esp without a/c to dry to the air. One way to check this is to bypass youre heater core and run the two hoses together with like a piece of pipe or pvc.

    Suddenly dies

    If you're not getting fuel, I wouldnt initially suspect the cas, It could be the intermittent no spark condition. but as for the fuel and spark together not working. ecu is probable. when your car is "dead" check to see if your "check engine" light is on. if it is not on then your ecu is not...

    checking balljoints off the car?

    im not super familiar with the front of a 2g. but as for your shifting with clutch coming and going, possible torque mounts in the engine bay. I wouldnt call that a "shift" but everyone calls it something different.... your strut bushing could def be causing a squeak, but they tend to make noise...

    Why does my alternator belt squeal so much on initial start up?

    tire chalk :thumb: use it at the shop, another thing you can do is spray the belt with some sort of penetrating oil, only on the belt though. and if the noise goes away... its the belt tension. if noise stays, more likely to be a pulley.battery light on indicates that you are not getting a...

    oil filter housing shaft separation

    I've tried red locktite, different oil cooler housings, and different shafts, they all come loose again, at different rates.. could oil pressure or vibrations be causing this? I never had a problem till I put a hg on and I put a smim on as well. confused.:confused:

    A/C clutch engages for 1 second only

    In order to pull a full vacuum, 29.9 hg, youre gonna have to take it to a shop that has an a/c machine. it will suck everything out of the a/c system, except dirt majority of the oil. Once the system is evacuated, then it can be injected with dye and what lil oil was sucked out in the evac. and...

    A/C clutch engages for 1 second only

    if the compressor is coming on at all then the clutch is most likely fine. youre compressor is "short cycling". usually caused by too little freon, OR too much. too much freon will cause the high pressure switch to cut and shut it off. I wouldnt trust cans, an actual gauge will tell you what is...

    shut off while driving at random, not starting again for a while

    check the crank sensor if you can with an oscilloscope when its not running. The sensor will got hot and not be able to send proper signals. Once it cools, it is then able to start again. I've seen it many times. If you cant check the waves and the alarm doesnt fix anything, try putting a new...

    axle carrier broke

    quick question. the a/c bracket bolt broke off. my fault as I failed to put a spacer in. my question is, what size are the bolts? I got my gauges out at work, and it appears that the smaller bolt has 18 threads per inch? so a 3/8"-18. but that is so uncommon apparently. are they actually...

    oil filter housing shaft separation

    I pulled my motor out tuesday night and put a head gasket, SMIM, and exhaust manifold on it along with some other small additions. I got the car running saturday night, and after a few pulls for a new tune, the oil filter shaft came loose and huge mess to say the least. I cleaned it off and re...

    Question about Plug Wires

    get that code scanned. sounds like you are either going to have a po300 or a po301-304 code. find out which one(or multiple) it is and that will tell you which cylinder is messing up. an o2 sensor is most likely not going to cause you to bog down, more or less it will mess up fuel trim and your...

    sheared clutch disc

    I slapped a new disc in it. ACT street/strip. I got it real cheap. I can drive it, but 2nd is messed up. I can rev match and it will go in fairly smoothly as long as I'm not going faster then 15mph. the car wont shift from 3rd to second though. so theres obviously some sort of damage done.

    wierd alternator

    Weird water noise

    the only other way to figure out what is going on would be to maybe drill a whole in the bottom of your evap box, but that doesnt necessarily fix your problem. it may allow the water to drain out, but the issue is that the water getting there in the first place. you dont want to have water...

    Weird water noise

    you may have a leaking heater core or clogged evap that. now you will have water/coolant sitting in the bottom of your evaporator box, when you are coming to a stop or taking off, you may be hearing water sloshing around. are you low on coolant or can you smell funk in your a/c ducts?

    AWD tire psi

    I honestly dont feel that it matters that much... if you want more psi, then put 35-36 in them. i wouldnt go more though. much higher, and the amount of gas you save may not equal the excess rubber you are using...

    AWD tire psi

    I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve here. gas mileage is more affected by your foot vs psi. yes high helps, but you are also wearing the center of the tire a lot faster and would also create more heat as you are lessening the straight away contact patch. I run 27 psi front and...

    strange water pump problem?

    I lost 14 teeth on a 92gsx I had. down shifted in a corner and when clutch was let it, they sheared. Slap a belt on it and check your compression. shouldnt take you too long. never know, you may have been lucky like me :D:D

    not sure if you have figured the issue out or not. but with that much cross caster, you would definitely notice a couple things. take your fingers and stick them between the rear of the front tires and the fender. you should only have about 1/4 of a finger difference. you want -.5 cross caster...

    Very Low Clutch Pedal ACT2600

    Make sure your transmission isn't moving at all, I actually encountered this problem. My bolts had backed off up top, just a little bit! once I tightened those and added an additional bolt by the slave cylinder, to help prevent this from happening again, pedal came right up.

    shim pivot ball while still in car
