First off, beaten to death.Second, you want a stock 1g bypass valve (a blow off valve indicates that it is vented to atmosphere, bypass valves recirc).Third, an EVO 3 16g is the preferred turbo, but you will also need a install kit to convert from the Garrett that is on there to an MHI...
The only reason I did not suggest the ceramic coat, is Forced Performance actually suggests against it. They claim that coating it can actually shorten service life by 75%.
Tubular manifolds are lighter, which means less metal. I had one on my Talon for a while until a couple of the welds went. Mine would glow orange after a pull. They tend to raise engine bay temps for 2 reasons: they don't have the mass to contain the heat, and they don't have heat shields. That...
Quoted from the RRE page you linked:EVO Motors: The valve covers of the EVO 1-3 motors will be a kind of titanium color. They are the same as a US 2G motor with nothing fancy. They have the smaller 2G style intake ports, a small runner intake manifold with a larger plenum and a larger throttle...
The yellow top injectors are the 510 cc injectors. As far as the turbo is concerned, there is a turbo identification thread on here (unfortunately I cannot link to it from tapatalk). As far as it being an "rs" engine, I do not believe that that refers to the Laser seeing as how it shared the...
I'm gonna agree with Jared, you are running rich coming into boost. The light colored smoke, what does it smell like? Synthetic oil smoke is grey, where conventional oil smoke is blue.
Mine seals well enough to run 21 psi off my 20g. Not all valves are equal tho... Best thing I can say, would be to perform a boost leak test. When yours leaks, that's what you got.
Anybody local have a 1g head collecting dust? I just diagnosed a for sure head gasket and possible cracked head on my 91. If anyone has one laying about, shoot me a PM.
Start at the plug. On the motor. Check for power and ground. Work back towards the fuse box. You will probably need the help of a friend to press the button on the dash to run the motors.If it turns out you need to look in the relay, pull it out, turn it over (prongs up). Grab a small flat...
4g63 motors are oriented with the transmission on the passengers side. The 420a is oriented with the transmission on the drivers side. Yes it is possible, but it is NOT budget if you can't weld, grind, and fabricate. Even if you can, it is extremely time consuming.
My personal opinion, because compressor and turbine side are close to the 20g, supporting mods for the 18g would be quite similar to the requirements of the 20g. Maybe even a little much.
Did anybody notice that this is a 4 year old thread?FWIW, I put hid's in my 1g with a composite housing. 9003 style dual beam. Hid low/high on one bulb.
I will give you that, but the dyno challenge also supports my observation about the popularity. 5 18g's to 12 20g's. The 20g is the tried and true big turbo of DSM platform. Buschur, Shepherd, all the big boys used 20g turbos back in the day. BTW, only one of the 18g's is making more than the...
I believe the main reason you are having trouble finding info on the 18g is, its not that popular. What I have gathered, the 18g spools like a 20g with the kick of the 16g. Meaning, if you can stand the spool, go to the 20 and have more flow. If you like the flow, go to the 16 and have better spool.
Did you read any of the previous posts in the thread???Op, you need to get the shavings out. I would use carb cleaner or WD-40. I don't like the drilling anything on my motor while it is running. I understand the reasoning behind the suggestion, but would rather just pull the manifold to do that.
There is a single ground on each side of the front corners of the car for all the lights on that corner. Therefore, you would have the problem with high and low, marker, turn, and fogs on that corner of the car. It may just be corroded, or stripped out.
I've seen this problem in many other cars, it always ends up being a ground issue. The passenger side is not grounded, and is getting a little ground from the other side. You need to check that all wires are clean and tight.
Thanks, I fixed it. The relay in the under hood fuse box, half of it had broken solder. Auto parts store wanted $80 and three days to get it. I fixed it in ten min. For free.
I am a 1ga owner, and though I recognise the fact that only the 1g were built under the DSM nameplate, I have no problem accepting the 2g eclipse/talon, the Avenger/Sebring, GVR-4, and even the Stealth/3KGT VR-4, as being DSM's. I'm sure I'll be ridiculed for accepting the 3KGT as a DSM, but the...
Yes. Both of my gauges, the boost sensor and Wideband module are in the passenger cabin. All feeding from the same power source (keyed power, like the radio circuit). For your sensors, it might be easier to find a power source under the hood, since that is where your sensors will be mounted...
The stock Toyota, had three "shark fin" fake antennas on it (even one stuck on the sunroof glass), the cheap stick on Chrome vents on it, and all kinds of pointless Chrome emblems. If I remember right, it had some gaudy wheels too. Sorry I didn't explain it more before, I didn't realize the...
I actually didn't notice that one... This might be a stupid assumption, but I gotta make it, is it possible to put the valve cover on the opposite direction? Because that would explain the gap and the words.
It's not shopped. At least I don't think so. If you look closely at the neon, there is a line run over the Mitsu name. If they shopped it, they did a really good job.
