Bro, if you're serious then you may have gotten the long end of the dick. the issue with this post is no one else knows where to start with helping you either- The car has been so extensively "modified" that very little is there to allow for the car to operate even remotely similar to what it...

Just for the record the little "black boxes" are surface mount Technology diodes just incase you were still wondering lol.......

???........we need to see the cam timing marks on the top end of the engine in relation to the crank pulley after you lined it up on TDC, the pic you posted is pretty much useless because it doesn't tell us anything about the cam timing in relation to the crank in the static TDC position- If one...

If he checks compression and the timing is off the reading shouldn't be accurate anyway- If the belt jumped any more than it is there's a damn good chance the valves may be bent- The engine can survive a tooth retarded but much beyond that and your bending valves-correct the timing and do c...

Bare minimum on a budget type stuff for a 16G should be at least a wally 255,an Apexi AFC, a front mount, and exhaust. Injectors would be a plus but if you don't purchase them, keep boost to a modest 18psi or there's a possibility you could run a touch lean on the big end. Keep in mind that...

Call me crazy, but I've never been a huge fan of meth kits because of the risks associated with the tank running dry if you forget to check (I've seen a few blow ups this way). I'd as soon just put together a proper fuel system for the power I'm after and forget it- That said if you buy a...

^^^ So true ^^^

Having owned a WRX and installed water spray to it from an STI I can honestly tell you it does work well with repeatable results staving off heat soak which is common due to the location of the intercooler on the scooby- Just make sure the water tank is a decent size and it's not mounted in the...

And apparently, still a useful 10yr old thread lol.......

I'm on -35 front -30 rear and poke just enough that when I spun my coilovers all the way down and camber'd to -2.4 front and -1.8 rear it tucked the tires back under the fenders with only a 20mm tire stretch front and rear........Funny thing is I still put down more rubber on the ground than...

My Starion had this issue and it ended up being that the factory sending unit was partially clogged with crud from 20+ yrs of use and abuse, try removing the sending unit and cleaning it out with carb clean or replacing it all together, otherwise like others have said it's not accurate-replace...

The only concern I'd have this side of some of the suggestions so far is what the inner surface of the rubber fuel lines looks like- If the lines are all stock and original, and you've switched to E85 there is cause for concern of the condition of the fuel lines that are still rubber- Not to...

Hate to see you go as a mod dude, I always got a kick out of your posts when you were checkin' someone-

Lol, so much for optimism .....hahaha-

^^^ Wow...lol ^^^ And knows Canadian chicks do it in the snow.........

looks freakin' expensive-

I love A LOT of cars.........I just happen to love my DSM a little more.........Will-

That engine was run WAY lean for WAY long......time for a rebuild.........what mods do you have and what fuel mods do you have? because that isn't looking like just head gasket failure brotha-

There is no way in hell you can kill the ring lands on an STI from just putting on a cold air intake- Your buddy either over boosted it or he got it used, beat up, and broken before he even modded it- I worked for the Subaru dealer as a tech for nearly 4 years and I was the soul tech our dealer...

Sould know that if I weren't afraid of being eaten to death, I'd have a pet Bengal Tiger.......

I've never seen any E-bay knock offs of the FCD.....The HKS fuel cut denfender is a tried and trued piece of equipment thats designed to allow for the fuel cut to remain on the management system with the ability to bump it's limit up- Thats why theres a potentiometer there. If anything visit...

:| :argue: WTF :banghead:

rotf!!!So glad you slid VW guys in there I'm one of those too......Still have my Corrado G60 lol and in case you wondered I ####ing LOVE Forza lol......

Thats true but I also see a TON of other fanboys headed down the same path- I been in the game since the late 80's when most people didn't even know WTF a turbocharger was..... I've seen the game change and with it the egos as well. Right now GTR guys Evo and STI guys are pretty much all in...

Generalizations my friend.....Thats a mighty wide brush you're using especially seeing as how I'm was one of the Subaru guys you're talking about .... around here the average scooby will put down 300awhp- I had an 02' WRX that on the scales weighed in at 3085lbs curb wieght (No heavier than a...

I could just see it now.....random pianos falling from the sky landing on perfectly good DSM's ...lol

I'll let the link do the talking.......http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/carsponsorscom-fort-myers-florida-c149414.html

My GAWD, it's no wonder Eclipse owners get such a bad rep when so much garbage is out there that even BMI wouldn't be able to clean it up- for some inexplicable reason, the Eclipse is the most bastardized car in the history of the automobile.......it seems to attract the most people with the...

seeing this thread reminds me of the massive mistake I made letting go of my 88' Starion ESI-R:-(

Must they insist on ruining such a clean (and apparently good running) example of a DSM? it's hard to watch ...........Just watched this from my tivo-

Body draw on any car (even cars with a bodycontrol module) really shouldn't exceed .050 amps, (50 miliamps) if you have a draw of .5 amps that is still a 1/2 amp draw which can leave your cars battery dead if you were to store the vehicle in just a matter of days. The main thing you need to pin...

Aaagh!! Sonova-bi***!!!~ he wants 7k firm for that eye-sore?!? what the hell are some of these people on?!?

Your shit is so hard core.............. lovin it bro-

should know I'm fat enough......don't need the extra ass........ but would be willing to try a taste of it anyway

I have a 93' 1rst gen Audi S4 with a 5cylinder 20V turbo engine. I stop being in love with the S4 beyond the last version of the RS4 with a blown V8.......Even the B4 Audi S4 and RS4 were a better looking car than this version but thats just me. Video was very well shot tho- loved it all my...

Should know I have no damn clue what the hell that is-

Put the AFC in to sensor check mode with the engine off key on, and then do a throttle sweep to see if the sensor values change accordingly.......If the sweep is smooth and changes with out falling out of range (voltage dropping to zero and then wildly going back and forth) then the sensor is...

thats true, although there would still be a dark ring around the base of the plug more than that of his.....and the negative electrode would be darker as well...or at least on the plugs I've studied in the cars my friends and I have tuned

Sense there seems to be a little confusion Ill post up a few vids of my friend Marc's car (the Street Fighter as it's known on the streets of Austin) He explains it and you actually get to see the piping and turbos in it's mock up phase before he actually put it on the car.....He's a fabricator...

Amen, the last time I tuned my buddy's car it wasn't really happy till the AFR's got around 11.5-11.7........at least thats where it made the most power and torque at the boost and timing I was running......Them plugs are showing a stupid lean burn.....

Meh, swerve..........and for the record 70psi at idle is stupid high....not what I'd consider where the fuel pressure "should be"..... I've seen far worse, but the video still doesn't tell you what you need to know about the car. A test drive, a buyers check, and a complete mod list still will...

^^^ This ^^^ and one more question....Why does he want to trade it so bad? I'm not slamming your ride in any way shape or form bro but it's a down grade to most DSM guys to go from a boosted car to an N/A car this side of a vette.....and many wouldn't give 2 shits if it was a vette they'd still...

My bad was in a diamonte in the driveway...lol not quite a DSM but still a Mitsubishi.....ha-

If I'm thinking right it sounds like you replaced the fan switch, or coolant temp sender to the instrument cluster.....the coolant temp sensor is what you may need to swap out which is what tells the ecu what the engine temp is and allows the ecu to determine the correct cold start...

got busted by my buddies dad kissing this chick in his driveway at like 11:30 at night waiting on my buddy to get to the house......scary thing is she kept saying I could take her shirt off and play with her bewbs and I kept telling her no what if we get busted...........which we did......And...

yea and +1 on that, the car can get replaced.....a mom and her baby can't-

Man that blows......fire damage cars are hard to restore to running condition but if you're willing and patient I guess you gotta do what you gotta do....... It will sound extreme but if I were to do it, I'd lay a completely new harness in the car from back to front including the dash harness...

Knows a clown fish would be happy there.......

if that car is still that clean, thats a win..........

knows I'm about to ask what the hell is in the tank..........
