Two of them are shorter and need to bolt into the front case where the timing belt is. I think they were in the right place. I actually found what I think is the issue, I have just been running into issues with my rebuild and haven't updated my build thread. I will do that soon!

2016-09-05 Engine Dies!I was sitting at a stop light and the car just dies for no reason. It was just before the turn into the apartment complex I was living at the time and a slight hill. I tried starting again and couldn't so I put her in Neutral and when the light turned green, no cars...

More shots I had lying around from various times since I've owned her.

Oh! I did take my car autocrossing one time. That was fun!

Alright, I don't have a date but sometime after this and before September, 2016 my catalytic converter went out. Again, Fox's owner had a contact who was going to sell me just a used catalytic converter, but I noticed he had what looked like a homemade exhaust. The exhaust was a full downpipe...

May, 2015: Transmission DiesI was driving on the freeway and I start losing power. When I hit the gas, the RPMs barely were moving. When I tried shifting it was hard and didn't want to go out of gear or switch to a new gear. I put in Neutral and coast off the next exit. I look under my car...

June, 2014: First Dragstrip Run!My car is still basically stock. I have a 14B or maybe my Small 16G at this point and a manual boost controller but no other supporting mods, stock injectors, SMIC, stock tune. My car can only handle like 12 psi of boost. Stock for me was 8-9 psi. But I...

Now for final positioning. To position correctly, you're supposed to park on a flat surface a certain distance away from a flat wall. I drove to an empty warehouse parking lot. There, I installed my stock headlights and marked with tape where it looked like my cutoff is. It's hard to tell...

I was also thinking to myself that I have these super fancy projectors but just a random bulb for my turn signal. How about I design some fancy LEDs for my turn signals?I went into this miscellaneous project store which had bulk LEDs and resistors. I did a bunch of calculations with the...

The adjustment thread had me use three of those right angle brackets you can get from the hardware store. 1/8" thick, drilled out and tapped for 10-24 size screws. I drilled holes through the housing as needed and used rubber grommets to ensure the holes were sealed. I also had to trim a bit...

I bought a heat gun from Harbor Freight and used that to heat up the bonding butyl rubber to separate the housings. I've heard you can also put them in the oven but I was worried about smell and melting. Doing it with a heat gun, you have more control, but it takes a while and you have to be...

June, 2013: Project HIDSummer time again and one thing that really bothered me is that night driving was a real pain. I can't tell you how many times I checked my headlight switch to make sure that my headlights were actually on and not just my parking lights. Time to change that.I did...

April, 2013: Power Steering Fluid LeakUp to this point, now that I had rebuilt an engine, I was thinking I had touched everything there is to touch related to the operation of the car. I was wrong. I had never touched the power steering rack. I noticed what sounded like a struggling motor...

By this time, I was at the end of Summer and needing to go back to school. It was down to the last weekend before starting the term on Monday. I did my initial drive in the break-in procedure, changed the oil and filter, and drove around a bit more. I discovered I was losing oil rather...

I would also like to talk about the break-in procedure. I spoke with my contacts, checked the forums, searched all over online, etc. I could not find a consistent procedure for this engine, but one thing everyone seemed to agree on is that you have to follow the correct procedure to properly...

Eight months of down time... but finally light at the end of the tunnel?Throughout this build, there was only one issue I encountered (that prevented me from driving the car): According to both the Haynes and Chilton manuals, they say to tighten the bolts for the pressure plate to the...

Thanks! A lot of it I kept in organized folders of photos. Looking through them and thinking about it refreshed my memory too. For some, I had to look at the date the photo was created.Side note: Do you know if that wire above is the one that leads to the connector on the top of the power...

Fully assembled engine including SMIC! LOLSomething Fox's owner told me about: Titanium coated skateboard bushings fit perfectly as replacement shifter bushings. I bought a box but of course only needed two. Just recently I gave some to another fellow DSMer. So I still have a bunch left...

Head cleaned up, new piston rings, ARP head studs. They didn't go as deep with the Head oil port mod as in the thread but I think it is at least better than stock. You can also see my beautifully organized sheet of hardware. ;)I also had a little time while waiting for the block and head so...

When removing the fuel filter, the hard line broke. A common problem apparently. I upgraded to a Fuelab filter and ran a tank to rail kit, but I still had to connect the line to the bottom of the filter. After some research I came across this thread: Threaded Fuel Line to Filter Broke...

During disassembly I found a few interesting things... engine mount side rubber (whatever it's called had started cracking. Such it is with old rubber. Some scoring in the engine block piston channel. Normal? I don't know, thoughts? And clearly the balance shaft belt wasn't replaced the...

June-August, 2012: RebuildingSummer time! I had never rebuilt any engine before and Fox's owner lived 4.5 hours from my school so I couldn't really use her or her contacts for help, so I picked up both a Haynes and Chilton manual, and followed blcknspo0ln's build on here: Project...

January 2012: Rod KnockJust cruising around I heard it. I didn't know what it was but it got louder the higher the engine was revved. I dropped the oil pan and found gold! Also the first time seeing inside the block. I had spun a rod bearing. From the looks of it, the other bearings...

And lastly in 2011: Project BLACK INTERIOR!I loved the black leather interior, the black dash, etc. But the underside being all grey I didn't like so much. So, I set out to make it all match as much as possible. I picked up some SEM since that black color matches the interior perfectly! I...

Also in 2011: Oil leak at the turbo drain pipe. This was going on for a while but it wasn't bad so I put it off.I never noticed it when I installed the 14B turbo but there is a second hole that was retapped at a different angle. That caused the return tube to not seat correctly. I had a...

Eye Candy! New engine bay look! I have a few changes at this point:New valve cover with MITSUBISHI 14B turbo after blown T-25 Hard intercooler piping by DEJON (This was intended for the T-25 so we chopped up part of the stock soft piping to make it work with a 14B and you can see it in the...

October, 2011. Painting the hood and driver fender.That hood and fender clashed so hard with the beautiful passenger side and when I washed the car you couldn't tell so much so I really wanted it to look nice. My friend offered to help me paint the worst offenders. The problem is, we did it...

I'll start mostly chronologically but highlighting some of the more significant headaches. First up is the accident I got into in August, 2011 at 141,640 miles. I side-swiped another car to avoid a collision of my front end. The dent started just behind my headlight and all the way back to my...

Alright, I've finally decided to do a build thread. I still love this car so much and I want to document things I've done but I've also learned some things that maybe others will find helpful. I had to add a new vehicle and copy everything over to get the build thread to auto generate. I'm...

This is the Build Thread for Dream Car. Reply below.

I will also start poking around there as well. Thanks!

I can't really help you but can only point to the resources I'm aware of that I haven't fully read through to see if you can find your answer.For example, this thread: First Flashed DSM ECU! (98/99 Flashing FAQ) This thread: EvoScan and EcuFlash tuning This thread: How to: Get a basic tune...

In my OP I mentioned that I used the Wayback machine and was able to pull the old webpages. Is that what you're after?

Pretty sure I have everything now from what CrackedDSM shared above and stuff. And someone sent me the whole 1v9Cb_Complete:Thanks! I just have a lot of reading to do on how to properly use them and such. I have everything to go Speed Density now at least.

Polyurethane ones. I have the full kit with the poly replacement sides and the inserts front and rear. Also, they installed the BSE kit when they built it.

UPDATE: The shop said that everything looks perfect except for the two side-to-side thrust washers. He said they were completely worn out.He kept blaming my clutch, saying it's too heavy and I should put a stock clutch in. I was just trying to process what else it could be knowing it isn't...

I have a 3D model of the engine block, not that it probably helps with creating parts.

Sure thing! I like to make sure I share solutions when I have them. And apparently all I have to do is check a box on the right to resolve. Good to know, thank you!I'm thinking I might finally do a build thread to also share my journey and things I've found solutions for. Maybe explore...

OK after much searching I couldn't find a solution on the forums. I guess since only late 98 and 99, (and only GSX's) have the charcoal canister in this location, and many just remove their emissions, it would seem there aren't many who have this issue. I found one guy that said you remove one...

So far my thoughts are to either see if I can push it over a bit or maybe there is a tutorial on moving it under the battery like where some of the earlier 2Gs had it.

Hi, I'm finally trying to install my VRSF FMIC I bought years ago. I trimmed the bracket on the passenger side and the bracket aligns with the fog light holes as intended, but I have a '99 GSX and my charcoal canister is under the driver side headlight. The intercooler is hitting the bolt on...

Yeah that's how I got the real side-to-side measurement. It's hard to see up in there though and since I won't be disassembling the block myself I'll have to wait and see what that shop says once I send it back to them.

Oil pan is off. Nothing crazy looking up there that I can see.

I'm thinking back to when I spun a rod bearing. It looked like a ton of gold in the pan. This time around, there were some fine particles but just wasn't nearly as bad comparatively. But that's all the reference I have.

I got the engine out and was able to get a better measurement for full side-to-side movement. .025". But, there wasn't anything crazy in the oil pan. It makes me wonder... If they did install the split thrust bearings which came in the late 98-99, I believe the side pieces are separate and...

I called the company and the guy said to send them the videos I took along with a measurement. I didn't take the time and effort to do a full lock-to-lock measurement, so I just measured the movement from pushing in the clutch that can be seen in the video. I measured .018". Elsewhere on this...

I will call the company tomorrow. What scares me though is that they have a 6 month warranty and it took me almost 6 months to get the car running from when I received the engine. And now the warranty is technically expired by about two weeks. Hopefully I get lucky though.I'll drain my oil...

Yes. I thought it would be easier to see if it moved.

Alright gentlemen. So, I got a few videos to share. But first, I did disconnect that ground wire to my aftermarket gauges. Started the car - no change. I pulled my passenger seat and checked the amp. The ground wire did look a little interesting: No pic but they screwed it into the frame...
