Here's a picture of the neutral safety switch I told you about. Try unplugging it and see if the car starts up before spending money on a mechanic.

Is you car a 5 spd? I had this issue once and i had to unplug the neutral safety switch (something along those lines) Its just a small white connector just up under the dash where the pedals are. I'll post a picture later tonight if you can't find yours. Unplugging this connector also allows you...

Question 1: Start by checking the turbo for shaft play (movement up and down, left to right) if there is any I would go ahead and have it rebuilt. Also spin the shaft by hand and listen for any scraping/scratching coming from the inside, this would mean a rebuild might be needed too. You...

Oops, didn't noticed i messed that up. Must not have been paying attention to what i typed and somehow had wiseco on my mind. My rods are Eagle tho.

Sweet, that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks Carter

I'm ordering a wideband tomorrow most likely.What?And what size injectors should i be looking for? At this stage I'm just wanting big enough injectors to support my build. Not the largest MS can control just because it can.

I just did stock rebuild around 12k miles ago and since then I've only ran E91 pump gas and plan to keep running it during this build also. Higher octane level means less chance of knock, right?The A/F gauge isn't a wide band but I got it for free practically and figured it would work until i...

I've got a favor to ask of the n/a to turbo experts. Take a look over my part list and tell me any good/bad suggestions or advice. I looked over the "End All Parts List for Turbo" and I think I have everything covered, but I'm trying to do this over the weekend and want to make sure I'll have...

Sweet, thanks for the info bro.

I'm starting to order parts for my engine rebuild but was wondering if the stock main/rod bearings will still hold up under the stress of putting around 10psi from a t3/t4 into the motor. I also just had the bearings replaced around 12k miles ago so they're fairly new still.

20x9x3 = 540 in3 31x9x2 = 558 in3Unless I did the math wrong (which is completely possible lol) the 31x9x2 is only a little bigger. Also with the 31x9x2 you would have a larger front face for air to hit the intercooler and cool down the air a bit more.OP, did you ever decide what comp...

All this talk about driving a manual has me bummed I can't drive mine right now. :'( Damn turbo conversion. lol.

Wow Bullet, you should be a detective or something. lmao. Would've never thought to connect dots like that.

What adapter does it not have?

If you can get me a picture of the back of your car, ill do some photoshop to giv eyou a pretty good idea how it would look.

Ah, just realized the OP has a 4g63 motor, not the 420a. My bad. lol.

I'm recalling this from memory so it may not be 100% accurate.\ Remove spark plug wires then there is 8 10 (maybe 13)mm bolts to remove the valve cover. once the cover is removed, then you have to take off the cam holders be careful not to snap any of the bolts into the head. remove the cams...

Did this real quick. Let me know what you think.

sad thing is, i almost bought that car. Had only seen pictures of the outside and engine bay. Motor has been completely redone and is really good for a 420a. went to check it out in person and was impressed, until i saw the inside. Once I did, I got in my car and drove away. lmao

Without pictures of the engine bay all I can suggest you do is double, even triple check all of your connections again.

whatever you do, don't go this far ricer. lmaohttp://images.craigslist.org/3n93mc3o05Y05T25U4ac145a2d63248171f45.jpg

Not sure if our cars even work like this but sounds as if a temp sensor is telling your ecu it's to hot and shuts down the car.. could just be a short with the sensor.Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. lol

Only real hard part about replacing cams is re-doing the timing once your done. As for the best kind of cams to go with I couldn't really tell ya. I'm still trying to find a good set too. Mostly it depends on what your overall goals for the engine are. Just remember that some cams also require...

had the same problem. changed the arms out and the shake went away.

Which route would you (or did you) go with? I'm just trying to cover all the bases before I get to the point of having the turbo in and running but held back because of an improper tune.

Anyone know where I can find someone who is good at tuning the ECU on a 97 GS somewhere around Oklahoma? Preferably in state..

Did the OP ever find a solution to this? I know they are two completely different cars, but my 08 Lancer GTS makes the same sound, even "spools" down when i let off the gas. Sounds cool, but just wondering if its going to cause problems later..

I was trying to avoid the stealership but I really want this book. Guess I'll just have to suck it up. Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully I can get a hold of this book and start my rebuild the right way.

Appreciate the help guys, and those links will definitely come in handy. But I was actually wanting to buy a hard copy version. I could print out the 2000+ page document and piece it together but that would be to much of a hassle to put together. Any idea where to find a hard copy?

I've been helping a buddy rebuild his RX7 FC (rotary engines are a PITA) and to help us out along the way he had a shop manual that contained anything and everything you would ever want to know about the car (wiring schematics with pictures, overall car dimensions, torque specs, everything.) I...

I'm a promoter for the event and from what my boss says it should be better than some of the last shows. To bad I can't make it. :(@Calan: If you drive around Yukon all the time for lunch you've probably seen my eclipse sittin at mcdonalds on Garth Brooks Blvd.

Im Josh from Yukon. About 10 miles west of OKC. I see a few DSMs around but not very many. Havent met nay either. :(

Dont have a pic of them on my car but here is what I have.

Thanks for the info on that part Boosted98AWD. Haven't had a chance to run to the parts store but at least I'll know exactly what I'm looking for when i walk in.Now it seems I have a new problem though. I was out driving with the rest of the tuner crowd the other night and out of nowhere my...

I dont have any play that i can think of. I do know i need to bleed my brakes since i just replaced the pads.But I don't think thats what your asking about.As for the boot I'm not sure. When I replaced the inner tie rod on the drivers side i had to reuse the old boot that was already there.I...

Kinda overhaul to do an entire motor swap. But i guess if you've got the time and extra motor then knock yourself out.

I've got good news and bad news.Good News: I fixed the wobble by replacing the cv axel on the drivers side.Bad News: The car still makes a slight clunck noise from the passenger front tire area when i brake.I'm going to get an alignment done after I replace the tie rods on the passenger...

Unfortunately no, its the only parts place around my town.

dang, Autozone just closed 9 minutes ago. ha, looks like i know what I'm doing tomorrow morning then. Hopefully your right about the seal.

Seems like most of y'all are from Tulsa. Only a few of us down here in OKC/Yukon like me. Luckily Tulsa isn't to far away from here.

Its not really just when i turn, but all the time when the car is in motion. And the boot was busted all the way around so i know the axle was bad.For those of you who said to check the motor mounts, I pushed and pulled and everything i could try to move the engine but there was no movement...

@KEEBS: Ive already checked for any play in the tires/hub and they didnt move at all in any direction.

The clunk isn't heard when i drop the clutch. It's just during regular driving.Your not the first person to suggest the ball joints so I'm going to check those out next chance I get. Anyone have a picture of a good ball joint that i can compare mine to so i can tell if it's bad or not?

@gpopppa: Thanks for the tip. Once all this rain gives up I'll go out and check the mounts. Should the engine move just a little bit? Or should there be no movement at all?@jay4725: I know one of my rims are just a little bent but many mechs have said it's not enough to cause this issue. I...

To bad they arent the good ones i thought they were. Oh well. At least I learned something.

Yea, I gotta clean em' up pretty good before I even consider using them. I pulled off the cam gears and found nothing. I did find some more raised numbers on them tho. 7 1928 C on one set and 68 2265 C on the other. Any idea what those mean? I tried to use Google but couldn't anything specific.

I'll have pics up in a couple hours for those of you who want to check them out on your own. I dont remember seeing anything stamped on them, but i haven't looked at them in awhile. For some reason the number 272 keeps coming up in my head when trying to remember what the guy told me when i...

Couple weeks ago I bought a box of parts from another 420a owner for a couple hundred bucks. In the box was an intercooler, piping, Greddy boost controller, ported head, and a couple sets of cams. My problem is I don't remember what size cams he said they were. I do remember he said one of the...

Never thought the motor mounts could cause this issue. What's the best way to check them?

Wheel bearings have been checked and are fine. While I was checking the inner tie rod I noticed the boot around it was completely cracked in half. And i ended up with what seemed like hydraulic fluid on my hand, is there some kind of stabilizer connected into that tie rod? I didn't see one when...
