My GSX blew a gasket in 2011. I planned on rebuilding and purchased a lot of parts. I got to the stage where I needed to ship the block off, but had to get surgery. Immediately after surgery, I separated the military and spent 4 years getting my ME degree. Ga Tech moved me to Atlanta from...

Man, it's been 7 years since I've posted on here. My daily is a Veloster. Still have the eclipse in the garage. Motor's busted, so my kid is going to rebuild it over the years for his first car. Now that Skylines are legal, I'll probably be swapping over to one of those in the next few years.

I have three questions.1. Why was the number changed from 31?2. Did they come with the Comptech engine?3. Where is their 2G Talon?

I want to relocate my battery when I install my new engine. Does anyone have experience with a trickle charger instead of a battery heater? I know that BMW guys up here use them because of the battery location under the back seat, but I was just checking if any DSM owners have tried it in the...

There's a lot more than you think. One works at Taco Bell, a grey 2G eclipse converted talon, a white 1G tsi awd, a 1G talon at Jiffy Lube, a 2G GST owned by an older native lady, a white 2G spyder, a green 2g RS, and a beaten Laser RS turbo that I would love to get my hands on.

Nice. Get that Bronco running first. When my eclipse blew a ring, I bought a broken 93 explorer and threw in a Bronco II engine and rear axle from a local junk yard. You'll need that Bronco if you plan on having the DSM. My explorer is priceless. Our engines only have a few differences, so if...

I'm in Fairbanks, so I can't physically help. I have changed 4 timing belts and I'm currently doing a full restore. The timing belt is extremely easy to change. Be sure to change or eliminate the balance shaft belt and change the water pump while you're in there. Also, be sure you order the...

I probably have another year or two before mine's finished. Mine's in pieces in the garage. I'm restoring and rebuilding, so I'm replacing part of the frame and everything else with rust.

I'm still up here. I think I'm the only 2G GSX up here now.

I have a 4G63 that I need machined up here in Fairbanks. I was going to ship it to MAPerformance in Minnesota. Let me know if P3 does any good with the build. It would save a lot of money on freight if I could just ship it to Wasilla.

100% correct. That's why you see gold connectors in aircraft. Silver is the most conductive, but copper isn't far behind. The difference between copper and silver isn't enough to make a difference. The reason iridium/platinum are so popular is malleability. If spark plugs had a constant electric...

The reason people went away from copper is because it's too malleable at high temperatures. It has better conductivity than Platinum and Iridium, but under prolonged use, the electrodes lost their shapes. That being said, copper's melting point is a few hundred degrees higher than silver...

If you're from NC, I have a friend in SC who is huge in stereos. He designed a few systems and has won awards for it. This guy actually shakes grounds. I can get you in touch with him if you want designing info. He goes deeper than just speaker size and type. He even deals with the layout of...

I have this sick double-din stereo with an infinity system. The screen glows orange at night. Plus, if the day comes where people start stealing tape decks again, it wont work without this code I wrote on it. The crackles it makes when the antenna won't rise kicks in some serious highs man. Just...

Ok. He asked for a physics answer. The question was if he could use the heat to cause the turbo to SPOOL quicker using steam. The heat is created in the engine and the piston forces moving air into the manifold and turbo. If the heat was just there and not moving, the turbine would not spin...

Since the turbo compresses the oxygen molecules to cause a bigger bang, I always thought about putting pure oxygen in a Nitrous bottle and spraying that directly into the TB. If you get away from the turbo operation and deal with what can build a more powerful combustion, an air compressor or...

Take a turbo and place the exhaust housing in a fire. I promise the compressor wheel will not spin. Blow an air compressor into the exhaust side, and the wheels spin. You just made a turbo work with cold air and not heat. It's exhaust flow that causes the spool.

It's not the heat that the turbo uses to spool, it's the air pressures that are shot out of the exhaust causing it to work. With a steam system, a relief valve would not work on low RPM's because that's when the system is at a lower temp. The relief valve would spray as pressure builds. The...

Figure a better design for our 3-piece timing covers. Something that doesn't break and crack constantly. I've seen the clear tops, but the top cover is the only one that doesn't break.

It's not that hard to install a block heater on a 4g63. I've had to do it 3 times.Remove the coolant. Take off the intake manifold. Grab a flat head driver and a hammer. lightly tap the second freeze plug from the driver's side at the bottom where the block meets the plug. (Be careful not...

A nice trick I learned up here. Take a bag of charcoal and make a burn pit in something about 12-18in from your front bumper. After the coals are hot (no flames), place a tarp over your hood and the coals. It'll direct the heat from the coals into your engine bay. Should heat the bay to about...

Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato. You may ask yourself what a BLT has to do with with the problem. In any situation where there's a question, Bacon is ALWAYS the answer my friend.Boost leak test...

This thread won't work for a no-start at -30. When you start your car at -30 it's going to idle really high. Mine typically idles at 2-2.3k at -25 and lower. My engine's tuned for the cold and -20 to -25 is around my peak for a cold start. DO NOT press your clutch in at -30 without warming the...

Where's the Carfax?

Have the results of the manifold test come back yet?

Where's a link to this hot parts kit?

Thermodynamics studies heat transfer and effects of the heat transfer in a given space. If a Holset is made of the same materials as Garrett or FP, thermodynamics have very little effect on the different performances in the temperature range discussed in our cars/trucks. At that point, it's...

I've been playing around online and can't find much information on the process or the specs. All I can dig up is a Laser with two T25s on a 6-bolt. You may be able to call them and see what happened to it. Here's a few posts where it's mentioned.Twin Turbo Talon.. - DSM Forums: Mitsubishi...

I'm talking about the TT setup Dougs Dyno Power tried years ago.

A TT was tried years ago, but failed miserably. I'm pretty sure they did it on a 4G64 block. The closest that I've heard of is a twin engined talon. That has two turbos on it. One in the hood and one in the trunk. You wouldn't want a N/A 4G63. Otherwise the 20+ years of experiments on DSMs were...

let me know when you get things straight. i'm looking for one, so I'd be willing to try something new instead of the common JMFAB/MAGNUS.

Are you going to be selling these?

Here's a helpful site for inj. sizes.RC Fuel Injection

ACT 2100 will handle 1000hp? I know what I'm buying.

Either way, I wouldn't screw with a TT stealth.

Road Race Engineering is about 16ish hours from Tacoma. It'd be a nice weekend trip.

Yea, the Dodge Stealth R/T was around 310-320 hp stock. If the owner knew what he had, I wouldn't mess with one.

I'm just going to throw this out there. Most parts stores carry K&N. If it's good enough for NASCAR/NHRA/WRC, I think your truck will be fine. Also, house filters have flow ratings that are lower than a car's air filter. Lastly, why wouldn't you join a forum that deals with the type of truck...

Just had a new one. It's -50 outside today, so I figured it was time to finally RTV my oil pan heater to the pan. As I pulled on a lift, I saw a Cayenne red 2GB GS pull in. He's a new kid in Alaska, so he was winterizing. I talked to him about the car and he said the first thing he's putting in...

Did anyone ever compile a list of manifolds to fit the hx, he, or hc without waterpipe issues? I am still looking for a t3 for my h1c with a BEP hotside that will fit without denting my water pipe.

I've never dealt with a SAFC, but I'm pretty sure i've seen one support 830cc before. I don't see the point of having a SAFC if they can only support 660cc injectors.

The Tiburon 2.0T was a concept that will no longer be sent to the US and is being replaced by a Veloster. I think you mean the Genesis 2.0 Theta which is a watered down 4B11T from an EvoX.

If you want to make the antenna power work, wire the existing power line to an ignition source to cause the antenna to rise when the ignition is on. As for the ground issue, install a better ground wire to the firewall and shield it to prevent any interference. If it's not shielded, you'll get...

That's completely true. i've dropped 2k in my build so far and haven't even done machine work yet.

Stick with it. 91 TSi AWDs aren't found everywhere. If you're sure a DSM is right for you, pay the 2-3k for a nice rebuild and have a good engine as a building block for the future. There's no point in doing a stock rebuild and trying to reach 500hp with it. If you build it and decide you don't...
