I would NOT hack a set of 2gb headlights to try it. Just buy a set of 2ga and paint the inner housing with some ultra flat black paint. Same effect and you arent ruining a set of 2gb lights! They are not cheap to replace

If you are looking for 2ga talon TURBO skirts.. Good luck!They are nearly impossible to find. Only the turbo cars had skirts too. The ESi did not. If you are wanting to do the 2gb talon bumper then get the 2ga headlights from eclipse or talon. IMO the 2gb bumper looks best with no...

10:1 odds its the same issue as the thread I posted... OR you got sent the wrong clutch kit.. possible a misbox?

If your alternator is faulty from bad diodes then his method of testing wont work. The only way i know to have it tested is to take it somewhere with a computer tester. Oreilly's is our local chain part store. Their testers will check output voltage and diodes etc.Just because its charging...

If you allow your car to overheat that severely shame on you.If the car wont start and sound like no compression then chances are it doesnt have compression and is likely a blown HG or cracked head.

The GS and GST parts are not interchangeable. If you are needing the correct parts I believe 97-99 turbo cars only. GSX and GST shouldnt matter on the A/C but the NT spyders A/C parts will not work.

The link above is helpful IF you took time to read it you would see why. The bushing that was causing his problems had to be removed. In that particular thread he was using an aftermarket clutch with a different designed pressure plate.If this guy is running and OEM clutch and didnt remove...

That looks like one of Calan's cans?^^

First off Id like to say.. Sniver has more patience than a monk! And secondly Id like to say, I feel for the OP. I once had an entire harness on a 00 kia sephia get trashed by a botched aftermarket cd player install. I removed the entire harness and attempted to repair the tiny ass wiring in it...

Everyone on here suggests a bad HG on most problems. It is possible that a HG can go bad, but you can rule that out fairly quickly with a rented compression tester and some short research.If you are leaning towards the HG being an issue after you do more research then check into having a...

If you are using the ebay models sometimes the flange is clocked incorrectly. The bolt holes will be at 2 and 7 instead of 3 and 9 if that makes any sense. This is not a HUGE problem as most exhaust shops can cut and reweld it, but I did run into this on a cheaper model. The one I purchased was...

It shouldnt overboost if the actuator has an independent boost source. If you arent worried about smog follow the tabboo speedshop diagram and see if the car runs any better. As far as ECM link etc, figure out how to make the car run right stock before you go selling the farm to make it fast.

I would NOT recommend this method. This works on older cars, but anything with an ECU I would NOT do this. Detaching the + cable and reattaching can cause voltage spikes and do horrid things to ECU's.

It sounds to me like a bad alternator. If the diodes are bad it can cause parasitic draw on the battery. This is common in older chevrolet pickups, and its possible you are experiencing the same problem. My buddy used to have this issue with his four wheel drive. Anytime he would submerge it in...

Read this thread. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/392903-engine-swap-now-wont-turn-locked-up.htmlthis should suggest everything related to your problem, you might even find the same solution ;)

I wouldnt think a Tbelt would fail because of old age if it hasnt been used. They are reinforced with steel. BUT if you are that anal, go back to the place of purchase and see if theyll swap it for some fresh rubber ;)

You might want to research that statement some more ;)We have people being arrested quite often here for this, it can be deemed "failure to Identify to a police officer" or even "obstructing an officer" which would apply if the officer is attempting to gain information for insight on an...

First off, if the car is running with the MAF unhooked and you are driving it STOP. If the car isnt running correctly with the MAF plugged in find out why.When you pulled the EPROM ECU and had it tested did they mention it was bad because they cannot test anything but the factory chip on the...

The hoses dont run to the transmission cooler, thats the A/C condensor.+2 on everything else mentioned :)

Chances are the hoses are just routed wrong. Before you bother pulling the parts and putting a new solenoid on check the diagram under the hood or the one on the site. I have it bookmarked on my laptop but Im not on it at the moment.Ill try and search it for you.:aha:EDIT.. here...

I would consider checking the fuel pressure regulator. Would best explain the intense raw fuel smell.

I stopped reading after I saw which lines were coming off. My best explanation is the plastic solenoid with the silicone hose going to it AND the electrical connector, located up by the washer fluid tank. That solenoid is either bad and when you hit boost it isnt opening, OR you have ran your...

Correct, the 2g auto and manual should be the same. The auto's have a seperate TCM for the tranny.

The authorities wont do anything. Its not breaking any law, its a civil matter. AND craigslist has some insane privacy laws. Remember the people who sold their grandparents? Or they guy who tried to sale his kid? Took the FBI months or arm twisting for craigslist to give up the registered email...

This is what happens when you build a motor that exceeds the capacities of any transmission/transaxle on the market! Hopefully you guys can put your heads together and figure something out! Would love to see this thing skoot down the track with a semi stock DSM drivetrain :pray:

I would recommend having the head checked and or decked. New head bolts and new head gasket. There has to be a reason that headgasket failed if its only been on the car a few months :confused:

I would suspect an ECU problem before I would suspect a wiring harness, unless someone has hacked around on it. Also just because its throwing a code doesnt mean the sensor is bad or the problem.If the MAP sensor is bad or not reading correctly it could be vacuum/boost leak depending on if...

Wishing I had some way to photo shop on my iphone when I posted. lolPics would have helped too. I sold my turbo car :(Glad you finally figured out what we were talking about! You might give some input on that clutch you bought. The lip around the fingers still looks odd to me! If it...

Yes, you should be able to just run a new clutch disc. Just make sure the fingers are in good shape! Some people might not recommend it but they used to remanufacture clutch discs and people use them all the time.:thumb:Also, you might want to read up on having the flywheel resurfaced if its...

umm, yeah. Its okay to piggy back certain things from the stereo but I wouldnt recommend the wideband IF you want accurate readings. I believe in the instructions they usually recommend independent power source and ground.I dont want to try to explain why, because it can be confusing. Just...

Or im thinking that clutch is possibly for the 2g. I believe they are slightly larger diameter.. 10" as opposed to 9"?? or AWD as opposed to FWD. I vaguely remember our parts computer asking alot of questions when looking up a clutch for a guy with a 1g. THAT would make a difference...

IF its idling that high then check the alternator and battery BOTH. I had a yellowtop in my NT and it sat for about a year not being driven. I went to start it up and it was dead. Once I jumped it the battery light came on.I figured it was the alternator... no such luck I had them both...

+1 on wheel bearing. It could also be a throwout bearing.Another way to test the wheel bearing theory is to slight sway side to side on the road and see if the noise changes as the weight transfers.I had a passenger side wheel bearing going bad and it the noise would go away if...

Is this an auto or manual car? If auto might be sligth transmission slip. Try dielectric grease on the plug boots and coil boots as well, either that or new plug wires.Also, double check your firing order from the coil, there are several diagrams on here and I notice you have a 95 model. The...

Yes that bolt can leak, those dome washers are one time crush washers basically. Also those bolts will stretch due to the heat. Go to the dealer of look here at the vendors and order new turbo mounting bolts AND washers. As pointed out it looks like you could use a new exhaust manifold gasket...

Nobody has mentioned the throwout bearing... so +1 on it. If it came apart then this could be the issue.

Yes, remember the steel piece that fits in the center of the crank end? Whenever you go from auto to manual you remove that and use the throw out bearing. Its technical name is a pilot bushing it isnt used on the manuals. I didnt go back and read if you said you removed it or not but...If...

The battery light and SRS light will come on because the car isnt idling high enough to provide the voltage (from the alternator turning) to keep everything happy. This is perfectly normal. The BISS screws are often times corroded, make sure the throttle cable bracket is tight and doesnt have...

If you havent already I would use the 1g CAS setup. I had a 2ga tsi and things get ugly if you ever have belt wear, I had the belt fray and took out the upper and lower sensor and the car was DOA. Also with the CAS setup you can adjust timing.

I was more or less implying it doesnt matter which wire is the signal because the signal doesnt do anything except make the light dance back and forth. Just wire it up to come on but not read :)

Not sure how the transmission could be locking up the motor unless the tranny was damaged internally. My dsm will start and pull the weight of the car in 1st gear. I double checked this a few minutes ago. I would check the timing belt etc. Its possible that something isnt kosher there.Also...

I was told that the balljoints if not replaced would seperate, the problem is most balljoints dont seperate under normal conditions. Mine did, however I have also been told that if they have been replaced once and it happens again then they will replace them again, because they arent supposed to...

I had a crack in the hard hydraulic line running from the rubber section off the master cylindr down to the slave cylinder. I didnt notice it until I speed shifted from 1st into 2nd messing around. Next thing I know clutch pedal goes to the floor. I was thinking the worst and ended up finding...

four door whore! :)

Just a dumb question.. but have you attempted turning it over with the key instead of by hand? I cant think of anything that hasnt been mentioned that would cause the motor to lock up. You just might be overthinking this one!

Why are you connecting your wideband to your stereo? You need an independent ground and power supply or you can get interference on your readings. Secondly 11.8 volts is just under the 12.0v required to make this power on. Try another power source I would bet this fixes your issue :aha:

Does the pedal have resistence? If no probably a master cylinder/slave cylinder.Does the shifter have resistence? If no the linkage/shift cable could have broken. This isnt uncommon on older DSMs

DOH!I was going to "like" this but apparently tuners isnt as new age as facebook. ROFL

Not to be a jerk, but a narrowband will just give you a fast and furious light show. It will show lean>rich>lean>rich non stop while driving and become rather annoying. My buddy hooked up one on his 2g and wasted about 2 hours of his life making it look nice and clean only to find it useless...
