I bought my Evo III 16G used and the wastegate was heavily ported and the divider between the turbine outlet and wastegate outlet were cut out. Because of this, I was having trouble getting the turbo to hold boost at high RPM's. I am building a 2.3 stroker as we speak and I plan to upgrade the...

Evo III 16G TD05H turbine wheel

Does anyone know where I can find a Forced Performance TD05H 8cm Turbine Housing? I contacted FP and they said that they do not have any in stock and they do not plan to make more any time soon. Thanks!

Thanks guys. I definitely want to run one, the only problem is that my car is at my buddy's house and I don't want to leave it there all week while I wait to get the dowel pin. It doesn't help that extremepsi is closed tomorrow and Tuesday, or I would run up there a get one. Hopefully the...

I have read some threads on here saying that 2G's never had a dowel pin on the crank to align the flywheel. I am in the middle of a clutch job on my 99 GSX, and it did not have the dowel pin in it. However, the previous owner had replaced the clutch, so he may have lost it when he replaced the...

I've been talking with Tony from turbo4.com and we are trying to figure out where to go with the motor, but I will be dropping off the block to them soon. Here are what I've gotten recently:3speed scatter shield:AEM Series 2 EMS w/ 3.5 bar MAP and AIT:I definitely need...

I think I have the same problem as well, but on the 4g63. I was just assuming that maybe the lifters were louder on start up because I put in higher lift cams.

In ecuflash you can adjust the knock sensitivity at certain rpm's and loads, so I can get rid of it that way if I want. It is knocking while it is still in closed loop. I am still replacing one possibly problematic sensor at a time to try to get to the bottom of this before I start messing...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t been posting any updates. The main reason for no updates is that there wasn't really anything to update. I am finally getting going with this project. I will be taking a new approach to the buildBeing cheap wasn't really getting me anywhere and I don't want to...

Yeah, I saw you said that in a different thread. I have a standard 4" vband for mine, but I just found these online: V-Band Clamps & Sealing Flanges It looks like they will match up to that 4.7 inch OD on the turbo flange.

Did you trim down the Turbine housing outlet of the HX-52 to make your downpipe?

Ok, thanks!

I believe I have the 16 cm^2

Does anyone know what the A/R is for the "T5" exhaust housing of the Holset HX-52, or at least a ballpark comparison to another housing on the market (like the 1.10 A/R T4 Borg Warner housing). Thanks!

I'm with you on that. I went with 9:1 on my drag motor even though I'm planning to go with E98. I'd rather just run more boost, especially for a track only car.

Evoscan is blue screening my lap top lately, but I'll try to get a log. Have you done anything to your car recently?

Me and my friend installed FP 1x cams, evo 8 beehives, revised lifters, and all of the timing belt stuff a few months ago on my 99 GSX with 60,000 miles on it. The car ran ok, but it had a little rough of an idle. I assumed it was just because of the cams and needing a new tune. The car sat...

The owner of the car before him, Casey Barrett had the cage done. It was certified to 8.50's. He made 750 whp on the car and 140 mph passes before he parted it out. Sean didn't really do much to the car except put dents in it and cut up the bumpers. I'm starting my paid internship next week...

All your ceddymod setup bits should be at 0 except for bit 15, because you want ceddymods, bit 14, because you want launch control, and bit 12, because you want cel on knock. There shouldn't be 1's where there are no features and I don't even know if your version has map switching. Also, you...

Glad I didn't buy the motor too. I bought the shell, but didn't have money for the motor at the time. Why are you finding this out about the motor a year later? Did it take that long to get to you or did you just not have the time to take it apart?

I thought the record was Curt Brown's 499 hp and 469 tq

Went to JNZ the other day and they took apart my transmission. To my surprise, it already had a 4-spider center diff. It did have some damage to 3rd and 4th, which will be replaced, along with most of the other stock components. It will also be getting some upgrades like Magnus shift forks.

Are there any drawbacks to running too big of a line?

He did? Since when?

I've seen the videos, that car is awesome! I hope I can get mine that fast some day.

I hope so too. I'll probably be bringing the Eclipse this year, and the Talon the year after that. I still haven't been to one and I kick myself every year I don't go.

Thanks! I got all the fuel system parts together from a user on here. I might be getting some smaller pro-classic lines, but I'll probably just stick with what I have so I don't have to spend extra money.Sean had it shipped all the way from Utah to New Jersey. Glad he saved me the...

Here are some more pics:ECU has some leaky caps:Turbine wheel was bad, but the guy who I bought it from sent me a new one:

What's up guys? Since my Eclipse project is coming to a close, I have a new project that I have somewhat recently acquired. I picked up a 1992 Talon TSi AWD shell in New Jersey a few months ago. Yes, it is Casey Barrett's old black talon that Sean(Slippi84) bought. You may recognize this car...

I'm having the car checked out by my mechanic Tuesday, so I'll let him know of these possibilities.

I don't think my wheels have the plastic ring.

I have Rota Sub-zero's, but I don't recall a plastic hub centering ring. Do you have a picture of one?

Just driving. It got progressively worse as I drove.It feels to be coming more from the wheels or suspension than the engine.

Just finished doing a timing belt job, which included taking the head off to install new cams, valve-springs, and lifters, on my 99 Eclipse GSX. After my buddy and I finished, I drove 5 miles back to my house. Along the way, a very harsh rattle started to develop that I could feel in the...

Ok, thanks. Now I'm just wondering if he had them specially made or if the pin hole was just machined.

I bought a set of used Manley H-beam rods from a member here and he told me they were 6-bolt rods with a 22 mm wrist pin hole. The hole measures in at 22 mm, but could you guys help me with figuring out if the big end will work with a 6 bolt crank? I have a set of 7 bolt rods and the caps are...

Must be a common problem. The same thing happened to me about a month ago. Pretty stupid thing to have to call a flat-bed for.

Just thought I'd also let you guys know that I picked up his shell, but I have not made too much progress on it. Check out my blog if you want to see what it looks like now.

Did they kick you out for trapping over 150 mph without a cage or chute?

I might try to make it with a new setup on my 99 GSX, just have to get the work done on it.

I wish my dad had a cool hobby to share with me.

Eagle and Manly H-beams are pretty much the same. I haven't heard anything about the K1's, but they are lighter which means they are probably weaker.

Why not just go with a wastegate on the O2 if you need one so much?

Where are you getting your info from? Higher compression greatly improves the efficiency of an engine, turbo or not. Above 15:1 compression is where the added friction of high compression negates the benefits of it. Also, it states in the title of these pistons("E85 series") that they are...

My 99 GSX is 3325 with me(200 lbs) in it with 1/2 tank of gas and no spare. The only thing I have removed for weight savings is the CD-changer in the back.I'm hoping to get my 92 Talon with a 10-point cage under 2700 without me. Not sure if I'm leaving the dash in or not.

I haven't updated this in a while, so I thought it was time I did. First up, I got the head off the 6-bolt and it looked pretty good, just a lot of carbon deposits. Here are some pics after my buddy and I got the pistons out:When we turned it over and took the pistons out and found...

Oh, so it's one of those cars now. Still awesome though.

I remember him saying that on here as well.

I thought it was still a unibody, but with a 25.5 cage.

It's just John Shepherd
