would also like to mention the 88 ohms of resistance on red and black at ecu to red and black at data link connector was measured with battery and ecu removed from car. red and black wire definetley has a issue to be sorted out. thanks again

yes, my mistake in the original post, solid blue is 12volt power to ciggerette lighter. check this out, on pink wire in obd2 to pink wire in ecu i poke my test leads in there, DVM beeps and shows half a ohm of resistance. ok, thats normal, poke test lead into red and black at data link and than...

thank you kindly good sir

no, i havent check the ground yet, i do have a question, red and black at the data link connector, that traces back to be red and black wire at the ecu no? when i use my volt meter on continuity test mode, i can poke a lead into the pink wire at data link connector and poke lead into pink wire...

High guys, long time member, first time posting in awhile. Heres the run down, 97GSX, 6bolt, ecmlink, blah blah blah, i was using the 12volt plug (ciggerette lighter) with a emergancy tire air pump to inflate a friends tire, tire was pretty flat, kept at with the lil air compressor that was...

awesome job, way to go man!

looks like wrong center washer to me

^agreed, if you wanna be sneaky and have a turbo "rear mount" style, ok, no problem, but the charge air pipe to bring the boost up to the engine will be retarded. a sandwhich plate on the oil filter housing will be needed to run oil (or maybe a T off the factory oil dumby light sensor location)...

^agreed^

Depends on the power output, if its rather weak in power id re-use it. If it has lots of ponies id get new.

I have only half a rear seating section so no one can sit behind me :cool: but thats no where as cool as the guy above me tho! nice job man! :hellyeah:

I beleive its pronounced ep-ROM ?

The only time I use a solder tip or a solder iron is on delicate things, very sensitive areas. Other wise I just use a mini torch. Go to any place that sells toolls and they'll have a minit orch set for sale. It runs on buetane lighter fluid. Will include screw on tips and adapters and a buncha...

those rims are ILL son! way jelous

ya man, I always do the "crimp & solder" method vs's just solder only or crimp only. The non insulated connector allows for a trust worthy strong connection that your not ever gonna have to worry about, the filled with flux and solder insures that its a full-blown wire to wire connection, then...

Not entirley true, use NON-insolated butt connectors (pure metal, has no plastic coating), crimp, crimp again, use flux paste, fill connector with solder, put heat shrink over freshly made crimped solder connection, shrink down the tubing with a mini torch:thumb:

use premium grade 8 bolts, screw together tight with a flat washer at the bolt head and a lock washer at the nut side, use a flat chissel-punch and a hammer and carefully ping the bottom thread under the nut, this will make it so the nut can never unscrew unless you use a pair of wrenches and...

some type of fusable link, a breaker switch if you will. In the event of a car crash your car could catch on fire if the 2gauge hot wire was smahed between wrinkle metal arkin and poppin off. For what its worth, yes, you need it.Also, when you run the power wire up to the front of the car...

Yes theres one thousand three hundred and twenty feet in a quarter mile, duh. :aha: And yes, this was the guys story he told us. Yep, just because thats what he said doesnt make it true. And yes, my buddy Alex said the Evo stayed a consistant car length away all the way untill 5th, then mayhem...

Do you have a O2 sensor housing still? Like Mitsu style? Or coming off your turbo is V-Band? Ever notice how the Honda crowd does their downpipes? As lame as it sounds the "honduh" style downpipe is the best. There is no MHI O2 sensor housing no more, just V-Band the down pipe up to the turbo...

I've personaly seen three differant friends ruin Wiseco Piston. For some reason because of that I'm not a fan. Ross Racing Pistons, CP Racing Pistons or Arias Pistons I've seen nothin but good come from these guys. Regular 'ol off the shelf Eagle H-Beams will be most choice for you in this...

Very good info, well said sir!:thumb:

AEM water/meth kit has the smart box controller with dumby light for fault codes. Its aboute the safest system on the market. Just saying...

Needs water meth in my opinion. The water that's mixed in will raise compression and make more power, the water will also cool intake air temps, the meth that's mixed in has octane value and will magically turn your pump gas into a lot better gas. I run a hx52 turbo with direct port alcohol...

Remove the reverse light switch on top of the tranny, pour THREE quarts of what ever the hell kinda fluid you choose to run (personaly I run any name brand 80-90 weight) the reason to fill it at the top and not the traditional fill plug is because if you fill it at the fill plug you can only...

c'mon guy, not LITERALLY

I sincerley appreciate your time to say this in your own words on a not so smartassy level. The way you explained this a lil light bulb just lit up above my head, light bulb still aint as bright as I wished it to be but at least its turning on. I still scratch my head at thought of these chevy...

Thank you for your interpretation of how it works, I repect your carefully worded response. One question I have tho, in my mind (read original post 1) I see fuel injector givin signal to spray as piston goes down to take in its fresh air gulp (I guess it will receive signal regardless to what...

No disrespect aimed at you at all Bastard, my only problem is this, when I close my eyes, I can picture the pistons pumping up and down, I can see the valves open close open close thanks to the bump sticks, I picture the spark plug poppin off at the exact moment to ignite, MY PROBLEM is this, I...

I respectfully accept your response, and thanks for not correcting my bad spelling LOLNah but seriously, thanks for your "back on planet earth" last response.

informational post's like this (minus the smartassism) is what people are looking to read. :thumb:Its like this, 2 guys can read the same page on the book, maybe one guy dont understand it worth a F, other guy breaks it down and explains it simple style in his own words. THIS IS WHAT I...

Well thats VERY impressive, I almost envy you in a way, I had no one to show me the ropes so to speak or to pass down the tourch of mechanical knowledge. Your very lucky guy, but theres still questions to be asked, I guess at this point and time I'll do my own research (on differant sites and...

okay bastard, I still dont quite understand? And by no means does this make me any less of a tech or mechanic or person or anything, I perform big huge crazy jobs as a mechanic everyday. Me, along with many others reading along dont quite "get it". So i guess were ALL dumbasses with the...

Okay dude, since this is a DISCUSSION, why dont you explain this in simple terms please? This is aimed towards better understanding, and Ill openly admit, I DONT UNDERSTAND 720* spraying on closed valves? I dont get get it? An earlier attempt to explain things in my own words left me "stupid"...

Bingo. The smaller housing is known for ending up with greater back-pressure than boost presssure and that's exactly what you wanna avoid. I recomend going with the larger housing and getting the matching mannifold. The T3 footprint .70ar housing definatley does justice over the MHI .55ar...

I respect your response's and completley agree, some people are just naturaly good at some Things. Like how one guy is just natural gifted at guitar and can play with no training, or how one guy is just so natural good at baseball and can hit any ball thrown. My friend alex is natural gifted at...

Yes, I see the same hack-job that you guys see, yes I see the exact same failure points and safety hazzards as you guys, I understand it takes a special touch to do this kinda work. But I also understand that the guys that are so completley badass and do have that special touch, THEY HAD TO...

Laughs out loud, very funny. What are my major accomplishments? Well I built my own engine, rigged my own car (yes i did out-source some fab-work and a ecu tune from my friend whoop dee do) and guess what? It clears over 600HP to all four's everysingle day jr. Would you like me to post a link of...

^ive seen worse come resirected back from the grave^lets just keep are fingers crossed :)

your a richard man, why you wanna talk a buncha S on this guys attempt to do a custom rwd swap? And then talk as if rwd is a joke? The very best cars are rear wheel drive, duh. And what makes you the exception? What do you do thats so badass? Huh? What have you done thats so killer? Swap a...

Any new ones from a parts store. Anythings gonna be better than what ya got now :)

Closed my explanation with "my understanding" and also openly asked for smart guys opions and version as well, openly said so I can learn something new. So why do you wanna come off like a dick? This is a discussion. I'm glad to learn and keep learning. So why the attitude?

Bastard, you always have interesting points and coments. So agreed that it only receives "signal" from 5*atdc to *15bbdc? Give or take?

So I hear the term injector duty cycle thrown out in the forums quite often and I feel that the term is used to loosely and generic and sometimes wonder if they understand this concept completley. Things like " how hard the injectors are working" and terms like "above 80% idc your pissing" so I...

Actually that explanation of duty cycle is sorta incorrect. And as far as size, buying the biggest ones you can get your hands on isn't the awnser. I clear 600 ponies on a heart-breaker dyno and I down sized from Bosch 1600's to BlueMax 1150's.

Can some one in here give their explanation of a "duty-cycle" please? Might make things a lil more clear to the OP

That's the normal amount I earlier mentioned. Yes a leak can be heard (think the boosted air the turbo is making and trying to cram into your engine is escaping out at a leak point somewhere) every lil boost leak matters, the worst are the ones on the other side of the throttle body (intake...

The oil is from your valve cover vent hose being plumbed into your air filter pipe, a lil shaft play is normal, it shouldn't rub in the housing tho. Yes, indeed do a boost leak test, you'll be surprised at what you may find for such little effort put forth to check. Boost leak test is the best...

Sounds like your buddys got your back on this one dude, not much more advice can be given I sopposse...

Makes no mention of the plastic filled clevis you must avoid like VD from a fat girlACT 2900pp, over 600awhp and 450awtq, still have 18year old factory mitsu fork NOT MODIFIED IN ANY WAY hmmm.....
