  1. WTB WTB virgin bare 6 bolt block - FL

    Looking for a 6 bolt block in decent condition. Prefer cylinders and mains to be within stock spec, but I do plan on going 20 over on the bore - scratches and shallow scores are ok.Let me know what you got. Will drive to most places in FL.
  2. buying a 95 tsi fwd. few questions

    Best bet would be to take it to a mechanic who works on dsms to give it a look over. The short answer is yes, there is a lot to look over before buying a dsm, which probably cant be summarized in a single post.If you do get it, keep it at stock boost levels, 11-13 psi, until you learn a lot...
  3. 2G Stutter In 3900-4600 RPM

    Maybe dirty throttle body or injector clogging a bit?
  4. Doors will not latch closed

    Its the latch that closes on the hoop on the frame. When I move it, it feels really easy to move, and is very easy to force out of the closed position. It looks more like #2 but its hard to tell from the picture. Ill take a pic today and post it.
  5. Doors will not latch closed

    So heres the deal, my doors will not close. They literally bounce when you try to shut them.When I started looking around, I saw the latch that clasps around the bar attached to the car is extremely weak on one side, and will not click into the closed position on another. If anyone has a...
  6. Long awaited decade long project

    Wow been a while since an update, but Im finally back to working on this project. The head and block are at the shop. I need to drop off parts next week but it looks like everything is in good order except the crank (which i suspected). I finally have a house, property, and most importantly a...
  7. Compressor Map Clarification

    Just split the difference, youll be close enough.But it looks like the .1, .2, and .3 line up on a vertical line. All the others fall in the middle.
  8. Has anyone read this?

    Just like with any technology (yes, these motors are a piece of technology), the absolute best way is to spend hours reading current events, innovations, ideas, setups, etc. If you want to learn the most possible, research everything, read every thread, explore build journals, and read...
  9. 2G 16g or 20g?

    Stock, youll have to find a compressor map to see what the power band is for the 16g, its somewhere in one of the threads.
  10. 2G 16g or 20g?

    Basically any turbo larger than a 14b is going to require at minimum injectors, afpr, wbo2, tuning software, and other misc parts which add a significant cost.
  11. 2G 16g or 20g?

    If you get either 16g or 20g you will definitely need: bigger injectors a quality afpr and a way to tune Wideband O2 Dont forget gaskets and parts for installChoosing between the two turbos is your choice, but definitely stay away from ebay, but the 20g will reduce wheel hop a bit on FWD. I...
  12. Bent valves a third time? Motor just broken?

    Definitely take Bryan's advice, because it seems like for the most part you have been trying to eye everything/hold your thumb to the wind. Time to start taking measurements and getting a lot more into details.
  13. Can I cut the ac belt?

    Note, whatever you do, do not release freon to the atmosphere. This is terrible advice and goes against the nature of these forums. Instead, recover it properly like other users have already mentioned.
  14. Where did I go wrong in my build?

    Did you remove the crank balls in the crank and clean out all the gunk?
  15. Where did I go wrong in my build?

    What about a final wash? If there was any debris left in the oil passage ways, crank balls, etc it would tear up a bearing.
  16. 2G catch can, dipstick, pcv questions

    The catch can needs to be connected to a vacuum source to function properly.See last post of this thread:http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/pcv-oil-catch-can-setup-need-some-advice-on-an-install.457953/page-2
  17. Long awaited decade long project

    athlete3344 updated Long awaited decade long projectView updates to this DSM profile...Pics of the 20gPretty much I have the head and block ready to go to the machine shop. Im basically waiting for no good reason, except that I dont want to drop the cash yet lol.
  18. 1G Use thicker oil after oil cooler delete? 10w40?

    Definitely use 10w-30 and see if the ticking is still there. Also, a return line is super cheap, like 12 or 25$. I think the 2g return line is cheaper and can be easily modded to fit the 1g. Make sure to order two new gaskets.
  19. Sudden unexplained massive power loss.

    I read through another thread and didnt see many of the thoughts here.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/what-all-causes-knock.241512/A few of the key questions I read (just trying to brainstorm),Maybe try seafoam? What about intake and coolant temps? Another idea, is it possible one of...
  20. pump shot need help please

    To add to bryan's comment, I would pick up a haynes/chiltons manual to help out with a lot of the how-to work.If you do the timing belt, grab a bench vice and friend who has done the timing belt before you pursue that job. It can easily be done in a few hours, and since youre already doing...
  21. Fuel Filter for 97 eclipse GSX

    http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/advice-on-broken-fuel-line.432695/That what it looks like. Near the passenger side, on the firewall, as the above poster mentioned.
  22. Which would be the better core?

    5.185" is the service limit but you can use a thicker gasket to make up for any extra material that would need to be removed. I would suggest using Jafro's head porting video also. If you want some after results, search the newbie forums for a thread I started, something like "Just ported me...
  23. 1G OEM WASTEGATE WHERE

    I replied to your other thread about where to find an internal wastegate.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/bad-wastegate.484099/#post-153457384

  25. 1G OFH turbo oil feed question?

    From this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/low-oil-pressure-and-car-smokes-alot.482622/#post-153449381Near the end we were discussing oiling with MHI turbos. Im posting this here because I have read a couple posts now saying MHI turbos dont require regulation from the OFH. This is...
  26. evo3 o2 housing with ext wastegate welded on

    Any reason why you are considering an external wg from the o2 instead of from the manifold?
  27. 1G Bad Wastegate

    If money is tight, youre better off ordering an internal WG from the classified or one of our supporting vendors. A new external WG is expensive, along with a new manifold or O2 housing (depending on your preference), and routing a dump tube for the WG. Youre talking like 20$ vs 400ish.
  28. 2G BOV dump tube cut size?

    Its been a really long time since Ive seen the inside of the stock intake pipe, but is the BOV vent nozzle piped up at an angle? I think that would really be the only way to ensure the metered air enters the turbo.
  29. Head Identification + other questions

    From what I was reading, all 6 bolt heads have the same sized exhaust studs. Also, if you order from studs from any website, they ask 6 bolt or 7 bolt and with the stud spec is basically all the same size vs all the same size + 2 larger ones.I think from all my measurements, its definitely a...
  30. 1G need ideas!

    Manuals are more fun than automatics. I say do the manual swap. Youll never get what you put into it back anyway.
  31. 2G BOV dump tube cut size?

    If you look at the stock intake pipe where the BOV recirculates, its just a nozzle sticking off the side and the tube goes over it. I would just pipe it up flush, or put a nozzle on the new pipe to clamp it onto.
  32. looking for info on machine work to assemble 2.3 6 bolt motor with 7 bolt head

    Only if it needs it. It depends on if you are replacing the pistons or not. Have you taken any measurements on the block, such as oil clearances, bearing journal dimensions, piston-to-wall clearances, etc to see if its still within spec?We cant really tell you what needs to be machined...
  33. Oil leak?

    Just to add some backup to the correct way, see the video below at about the 10min mark.Jafro has tons of videos, and he has habits of doing things by the book and usually some extra on top of it. If you really are confused about whether to follow the book or wing it, I suggest watching...
  34. Where to buy new seals? (doors and sunroof)

  36. 1G Scratched crankshaft, bearings cut, Repairable? PICS

    No kidding! I know I saw BogusSVO mentioning a certain size set screw to use when removing the balls. Does the crank need to be rebalanced if you remove the balls? Im interested since Im in the middle of a rebuild.
  37. 1G Scratched crankshaft, bearings cut, Repairable? PICS

    Found it.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-clean-you-4g63t-crank.458366/Bryan, Im interested in your thoughts about this thread.
  38. 1G Scratched crankshaft, bearings cut, Repairable? PICS

    Jafro's parts washer is something I will be using as a final wash.Also, http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-final-wash-an-engine-block.362154/and I know I saw another thread about spraying the balls in the crank really well to clean out all the gunk. I cant find it, but the poster...
  39. 1G Scratched crankshaft, bearings cut, Repairable? PICS

    I would definitely recommend doing the blue printing and not relying on a shop or someone to check it. My project is heading to the shop now, but I double checked everything before I made any decisions. Luckily, everything is just about perfect, and definitely well within spec.Look at it...
  40. looking for info on machine work to assemble 2.3 6 bolt motor with 7 bolt head

    What kind of machine work? The entire job, crank, 7 bolt head on a 6 bolt block?For the head to fit, the head stud holes need to be enlarged to accommodate the 12mm head studs. I think 1/2" is what I remember seeing.

    To rule out the pump, can you jump or bypass the relay with a direct source of power to hear if it turns on or not?
  44. 4g63 cylinder head flow bench results

    For the most part, hogging out intake runners wont do much. Yes it will flow more, but velocity will drop. The quicker you can move air, the better. Cleaning up the cast is about as much as you need to do for the intake runners, along with removing all pitting in the bowls.For the exhaust...

    The thread is 10 years old...I think if there were any updates, they would have been in by now.

  47. 2G Dsm troubles...

    Was there a loud pop? Could be a broken balance shaft belt, which may have demolished your CAS.
  48. Best way to remove paint from engine block?

    Ok, I think maybe then I will continue removing rust where I see it and get it hot tanked then. Ive been doing the oil mods, and after Im done channeling the returns, the block will be getting hot tanked after any how.
