  1. Fuel level sensor replacement

    Thanks for the input. One thing that holds me back from just getting a used assembly is I don't want to get stuck with a second assembly with a broken rheostat. What a silly part to not be able to get a replacement for. The whole pump sending unit assembly is over $500 new from the dealer but...
  2. Fuel level sensor replacement

    The rheostat on my fuel level sensor has disintegrated with age. I am trying to find just the fuel level sensor without having to replace the entire fuel sending unit.Does anybody know where to get a replacement fuel level sensor for a 2g GSX and can tell me?
  3. Driveability problem

    I feel you on being a mechanic, not a parts replacer. I got lucky and found the solution by chance. I was on the VFAQ looking for the cylinder order and I saw this article. It seems this is a design flaw with our cars.Magnecor Race Wires: Mitsubishi twin cam technical bulletinWhen I...
  4. Driveability problem

    Thanks for the input. I didn't have time to check the injectors today before I went to work and it has been raining. So I still need to do that. On the way to work the problem got way worse and the check engine light came on. I got the code and this time it is P0301 cylinder 1 misfire.Now it...
  5. Driveability problem

    Okay. thanks. Driving it today I certain it is only acting up when I build boost. Otherwise I can go through the whole RPM range with no problem as long as I don't give it too much throttle and go over 6 pounds of boost.
  6. Driveability problem

    I will have to look again at the clips to make sure, but I think they were still there. The car runs fine when I'm not giving it a lot of gas and getting into boost. Obviously I could be wrong but, I would think that if the wiring or a connection was bad it would run bad all the time. When it...
  7. Driveability problem

    Thanks for the reply. Driving around today I noticed that it occurs when boost gets around 10 psi and it was worse today than yesterday when it was a little cooler. I made a quick visual inspection of the wiring it looks okay. I thinking it may be the injector. If I pull it out to make a visual...
  8. Driveability problem

    I have a 95 GSX. The problem I am having is when I accelerate. If I give it too much throttle too soon it starts to miss. The miss can go from occasional to evenly spaced, rapid fire. Last year replacing the plug wires and plugs seemed to fix it for a while. Then at that time I had an oil leak...
  9. Boost gauge hose routing

    I'm thinking of using the nylon tube for now because it's all I have. I'll get some silicone tubing later. As for routing I did find another way to go. When The Borg installed an after market alarm, they drilled a hole through the firewall right next to the steering boot. I think I'll use that...
  10. Boost gauge hose routing

    Thanks for the options guys. I tried to see where the wiring harness goes through I didn't know it's on the passenger side. I am also going to look around clutch pedal, it looked like there is an opening at the top. Otherwise I'm putting a hole through the boot.
  11. Boost gauge hose routing

    Where are you guys routing the boost gauge hose through the firewall? I know about cutting the steering boot. I'm not keen on doing that because it does rain down here and I don't want another leak.What I want to know is are there any other options? Are there any preexisting holes I can...
  12. Boost guage, MBC, questions

    I am debating what to do with the boost controller. It was $68 + $5 shipping. The Ebay listing didn't mention Blox Racing it just said Hallman (style) Red. So I feel like I got suckered. My visual impression of it is it looks like it is well made. It looks very similar to the Hallman but not...
  13. Boost guage, MBC, questions

    Thanks for the help.
  14. Boost guage, MBC, questions

    I recently purchased a glowshift boost gauge from a friend. The instructions say the T-fitting should have a brass restriction for the hose that goes to the gauge. It's missing. What is that restriction for and can I still hook up the gauge without it?Next question. I ordered a Hallman MBC...
  15. Alarm goes off sporatically mostly at 3:00 am

    I had the same problem until I replace my driver side door switch. I also checked the hood closed switch which is on the drivers side to see if the bracket was bent.
  16. Window motor regulator issue

    I have the panel off, removed the switches from it and have the switches hooked up. I'll take a look at the slider. I'll look to see if there one that keeps the regulator engaged with the drive gear on the motor but it is difficult looking around in there. Will I have to drill out rivets to get...
  17. Window motor regulator issue

    Here is my problem. My driver side window motor still works I can hear it when I operate the switch. However it seems that the motor has somehow become disengaged from the regulator as it doesn't move it up or down. Plus I can manually push or pull the window up or down.I am hoping it is...
  18. 15psi on 16g. Feel the difference from T25?

    If you are using the vacuum port on the intake manifold that controls the blow off valve to also supply your pressure source for your waste gate that is not good way to hook that up. That blow off valve vacuum port is basically a ported vacuum. What that means is it's signal to the blow off...
  19. CASITE "Motor Honey"

    The issue with motor honey in cold weather is because it has such a high viscosity it congeals like glue and sinks to the lowest point in the oil pan where the oil pump pickup is. So when you cold start the engine there is a congealed lump of motor honey surrounding the pickup preventing oil...
  20. Moving to Miami/Fort lauderdale area

    Boca is a nice area. Generally though you want to try and stay east of Federal Highway/US1. Once you get West of US1 you have a lot more chances of ending up in a ghetto area.
  21. tokico illumina question

    Another thing to look out for is the spring seat at the bottom of the shock has an angle to it and a step. So you need to rotate the spring around so the end of the spring abuts against the step.
  22. Mishimoto intercoolers 1250 CFM Rating..really?

    I just installed the latest VRSF fmic on my 95 GSX with an evo3. $400 with the driver side discharging j pipe which you will need. I love it. It made a noticeable improvement in performance over the stock intercooler. I had to cut a small triangle out of the radiator support for the short route...
  23. small 16g waste gate pressure source

    I had the same problem. I had to drill and tap my J pipe.
  24. Saved From the Rice Life

    There are two factors that have to be allowed for when adjusting a clutch. If you have insufficient free play when you let out the clutch it won't fully engage and you will have slippage.If you have too much free play you won't be able to fully dis-engage the clutch to shift gears. Your...
  25. Replacing stock Turbo?

    Thanks for the information I appreciate it. :thumb: I was constantly seeing that A/R number and I was wondering what it referred to.
  26. 2G What's the point of blocking off EGR valve (Merged)

    Because they are inert and don't burn, they slow the burn rate of the air fuel mixture. Which is the same thing that octane additives do. The key to performance is fuel burning rapidly so there is a controlled expansion, versus detonating. When the air fuel mixture detonates it is an...
  27. 2G What's the point of blocking off EGR valve (Merged)

    Actually it is not hot dirty air. The EGR recirculates a small amount of exhaust gas which is very different. That exhaust gas is what is known as inert, meaning it can't react or burn. EGR does more than improve emissions, it also improves performance.But ignorant people have it in mind...
  28. Replacing stock Turbo?

    Now what exactly does the area / radius measure? I see that term used a lot, but I haven't bothered to look it up.It has been a while since I studied about exhaust system length so I could be off on one or two details. But the way I remember it is it's not so much an issue of back...
  29. Replacing stock Turbo?

    Glad I could help and that you have a sense of humor. :D That is a cool smilie by the way. As this is the newbie forum I was gearing my reply so it might be useful to a newbie. I'm sure you understand the relationship of cfm to performance but the OP and some of the other newbies maybe not...
  30. Replacing stock Turbo?

    I was concerned about it but it hasn't been bad at all. I think there are some factors that are working in my favor so it's not as bad as it could be. The first mod I made to my car was to put an Injen intake on it. The stock intake on our cars is very restrictivet. On a stock GST that intake...
  31. Is running coolent to a turbo required?

    Because he asked me this question. So I was responding to it."So since my TiAL MVS has liquid cooling ports on there, does that mean it's necessary to run those too :toobad: "The impression he is giving is he thinks he is smarter than the Engineers who designed these devices. The...
  32. Replacing stock Turbo?

    There is more to increasing performance than how many psi a turbo can produce. How many cubic feet per minute it can flow is also a factor. The 16G flows way more CFM than the t25.Since I haven't had the money to upgrade my fuel injectors and get a dsm link I am currently running my Evo3 at...
  33. evo 8 rims on a 1997 gsx?

    I was able to pick up a set of evo9 rims off of craigslist with the 235/45/17 advan AO46 tires for $500. They fit perfectly and even had Mitsubishi center caps.
  34. 2g evo x parts

    I don't remember where but browsing through the net I have seen a piping kit for the 2G that is designed to hook up to an evo front mount. Does anyone know if the 18inch wheels fit our cars?
  35. Is running coolent to a turbo required?

    If that oil is rated for both gas and diesel then you aren't going to have problems. But diesel oil is different in terms of the wear compounds that are added to it as diesels have a different operating range. An oil that is intended for use in a gasoline engine is formulated for the particular...
  36. Is running coolent to a turbo required?

    Your logic is very flawed. For one thing the way I drive my GSX most of my driving is within five minutes of where I am. :hellyeah: Another thing is I bought a turbochared car for a reason, if I had to baby it for the last five minutes of every drive or sit and wait for it to cool I would go out...
  37. Is running coolent to a turbo required?

    I would think that reducing cooling of that center section would have an effect on longevity. It may not be immediate but over the long haul I would think it would make a difference. I certainly hooked mine up when I installed my 16G because it wasn't that difficult.If you are going to rely...
  38. E-Brake Problem

    It definitely sounds like rusted cables which is a common problem with cars and bicycles. When I worked as a mechanic one of the hazards we had to deal with was cars whose owners never used the handbrake so the cables became rusted. I would pull a car in, engage the handbrake, work on the car...
  39. simple 16g turbo question

    The problem I ran into is I used a Forced Performance installation kit which was good but the J pipe discharges towards the passenger side of the car while the VRSF front mount I just bought needs a J pipe that discharges towards the drivers side and clears the front engine mount. So now I need...
  40. Replacing stock Turbo?

    My stock t 25 didn't have any shaft play with 100,000 miles on it. But if I was getting on it to the point that I could hear the BOV when I up shifted it blew a big white could of white smoke. If I throttled back to let the boost drop before I shifted I didn't get the cloud behind me. It was...
  41. simple 16g turbo question

    I just did the same installation on my 95 GSX. I used the $175 Forced Performance installation kit. When I got it installed I found that the J pipe did not connect to my sidemount intercooler. Luckily my boy had a radiator hose that allowed me to rig it up and I actually have been able to drive...
  42. VRSF intercooler installation

    Here is where I purchased it from. Mangina24 is the vendor. VR Speed Factory - EVO, DSM & WRX Performance Parts - VRSF 2G Front Mount Intercooler Kit 2G DSMFrom what I understand about it, it is their latest version and I had to wait a month for them to get it in and ship it. So I assume I...
  43. VRSF intercooler installation

    Thanks a lot for responding and the offer of help guys. I was afraid I was going to need the VRSF J pipe to clear that motor mount. I have the bumper cover and bumper tore off right now so I hate to wait. Hopefully I can mount it then do the piping when i get the J pipe.The short bolts for...
  44. VRSF intercooler installation

    This is my first post, so I'm new here, but I have lurked for a while. I understand from DSMtalk that some of the VRSF guys are on this board so I'm posting this here. I just received the newest front mount intercooler from VRSF and I'm eager to get it installed. :DI was looking through...
