I am an engineer and have been using CAD and FEA simulation analysis to design plastic and metal parts for many years.... Engineering grade FDM materials can be used in under the hood environments depending on application and proximity to exhaust components. They are not "easy" to print, but you...

3D printing is an option if you can do the modeling and have a printer (or send it out to print). I have printed many parts for my vehicles. I would recommend nylon (PA) for under the hood applications. Nylon has a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 255C, compared to ABS 88C. I prefer...

Definately very interested! Please let me know when this project is completed! This would be a perfect solution for my appplication!

Thanks for the response! I had those same strut tower bars on, but took them off for the smog.Yes, I cut the dump tube inside the factory intake.So, other than the waste gate mounting I guess I have all the items for the EVO 3 install (I did purchase the RRE 2G install kit a few years...

BACKSTORY: I had plans for a build a few years back and then got side tracked. The car had some issues and it turned out to be the ECU had some leaking capacitors. Replaced the ECM which solved most of the issues and finally got thru smog check last month and I am now enjoying driving the car...

UPDATE: Had the cat installed yesterday and went for a long drive. Took the smog test this morning and pass with almost no emissions! Got my tags!Thanks to all who responded to this post!

Called around to the local muffler shops and they want $800-$980 out the door (after looking up the engine family code). That's way too much......Took the time to visit the CA aftermarket catalytic converter database: https://ssl.arb.ca.gov/AftermarketParts/catalystsI price checked each...

Changed air cleaner, PCV, plugs, O2, and drove about 350 miles on the weekend with 2 bottles of G2P.... Will change the oil, fill up with 89, and do a emissions pretest....If it fails, then I will have to replace the cat....

Thanks!

I did a boost leak test already, no leaks detected.I drove the car about 40 miles on the highway before the smog.The car sat from 2018 to late 2021 and when I fired it up it had some valve noise.Changed the oil to Redline 5w-30 and the noise went away immediately.The O2 sensor was...

I think your right.... It probably damaged the cat when it was running rich.... I got quotes for a new cat today and it's going to be about $550......

Failed California smog test. A few months ago changes plugs, wires, O2 sensor, air filter, changed oil about 2 weeks ago. Results below with a few gallons of E85:Car had previously had a computer issue (cap fail leak, pcb damage) and was running really rich for a while. I changed computer...

Thanks...I'll check the injector resistance (I have a multi-meter).what is the resistance specification for the stock injectors?I guess I can check the voltage at the connector to validate that it's not a supply voltage issue.I really don't want to spend money on a replacement stock...

Check engine light on and pulled coded PO202, Injector circuit #2. What is the best way to debug/fix?Thanks!

Thanks!

Ok...so just finished ordering the EMCLink and the FMIC:hellyeah:Part should arrive next week and I'll start the build....:thumb:Thanks for everyones help!BTW- Is there a good thread/site to help ith the EMCLink tuning??? Have never done data logging and tuning, so this is all...

sorry for the typo "ass the cams'???meant to say "do the cams"

Thanks for the info...... I don't mind going large, but had read that larger than 650 might be difficult to tune for idle....Seems that was misinformation...Current thinking is 16G is all I need for DD+I don't have a specific HP goal, just want to squeeze out what I can with stock...

Will be getting my Evo3 turbo/PR FMIC/ECMLink soon.Already have the 255lph and AFPR.Which injectors are best to run with this set up: 550, 650, or larger?Some are saying 550 are fine, others say 650 or larger..Would like to close on the injector size today before ordering the...

I plan on going with the evo lll and the PR FMIC.Smog ck is only every 2 yrs, so worst case, i'll just have to swap it back to stock (but I'll try a pre-smog ck first, at couple of shops if needed. If it passes, then no problem)After spending a lot of time searching threads and internet...

Thanks, Justin.Which size injectors do you recommed for my set up? 650, 750, larger?

I need to replace my timing belt before my EVO lll install.Is it a pain and are there any links to the install?Thanks!

EPROM - what is the best site for ordering or upgrading the socket (if applicable)?If I do upgrade to socket, will I need to send out the EPROM for programming or is this an interface for a controller (sorry for the newnbe questions). Which is the best vendor for programming (if...

Thanks!I just completed the smog, so I won't have to worry about it for 2 yrs. It's good to know that I may not have to convert back to get thru smog ck..Thanks, Justin for the mpg details....I will definately go with the EVOiii instead of the T28. So glad I found this site before I...

Thanks!I remenbered that I can just do a pre-inpsection smag ck that is not reported to DMV..If I fail, then I can convert back for the test (and then back again)..\\I will go with Justins recommendation, since he is the expert and I will have room to grow..Wwwho know's what the...

Sorry for wasting your time:sosad:I drive ~500 miles a week in traffic and over a windy mountain...With varying driving conditions......Many times I need/want more power than I have on the stock set up...Hope that's not a crime....:coy:Thought this was a good vehicle to get good...

I was planning on keeping the stock piping and converting back for smog...

Sorry, not planning to take to the track..just wanted low cost mods for street applicaiton.....Right now I am not satified ith the power and want more.From what I have read, the T28 stock fit and easy install is the best choice for my applicaiton...I'm a nebie and may change my...

If the EVO III will be much better for my application, then I should go that route instead of the T28.I thought the T28 was good for 340WHP and that ould be enough for daily driving.:|

Thanks! Ok...This is a daily driver and not planning on taking to the track....After research I came to the conclusion that a FP Big T28 with 500cc injectors and S-AFC or DSM link would suffice..The only other reason I planned on the T28 was to keep the stock look for California...

Thanks.From what I've read I don't need the FMIC ith the mods I have and am planning. It was recommended above based on the price of the intercooling pipe upgrade.Do you recommend upgrading the intercooling pipes (upper, loer or both)?Plan on using 1G BOV. If I was to use an...

I have t25 today, will have a FP Big T28 (plan on orering this weekend from FP)

Do you have a link for the FMIC at that price?Is the install a headache?Do I need a FMIC with only a t28?ThanksSorry, I'm a newbie...I found several thread/recommendations to just upgrade the top intercooling pipe and BOV this phase of upgrades.what would be the best...

Thinking about ordering low cost intercooling pipe upgrade and it has stock BOV flange.I found this on ebay:95-99 Eclipse Talon DSM 2G UPG Intercooler Piping Kit | eBayWhat is the best low cost BOV for my 2G?I found this on ebay:Turbo BOV Blow off SRT4 SKY EVO Genesis 2T 1G...

Thanks!I'll ck to see if mine is EPROM.

Thanks.I appreciate the detailed response.Any information or link on cking for the EPROM (photo's ect)?Stupid question: where is the computer located on the 2G Talon?If I have the EPROM, I will go with the DSM link (thanks!):thumb:The fuel pump/AFPR/turbo will need more...

Thanks for your quick response and detailed information.I will cancel the order and go with the 190, since this will be sufficient for the FP Big T28 upgrade.Any other recommedations on the mod list (have I missed anything) or recommendations on mfg, ect.I don't have a lot of money...
