For anyone interested, this is what I found.Timing belt was so loose I could have pulled it off by hand, if the lower timing cover wasn't there.Intake valves made contact.Current plans are Eagle/Wiseco/ACL bearings. Hopefully get away with a hone and not bore.I have 2 spare heads from...

Ahh at least I know what's going on now!I rebuilt that motor when I was 18 about 14 years ago. I used a cheap rebuild kit that was $80 with King bearings, eve piston rings and some cheap ass gaskets. (From advice of someone helping me).Its been bothering me, especially since the rest of the...

Interesting compression results...#1 ~165 #2 - 0 #3 ~ 155 #4 - 0You can hear the compression difference in cranking when the tester was in a good cylinder.I reckon I'll dig out my leak down tester out of storage before ripping into it.

Strong, equal spark on all 4.I did notice it looks like some oil is dripping from cyl #4 exhaust manifold. Going to do a compression check this weekend to rule that out

I'll have to wait for a buddy to check for spark.I did the two ohm tests for the coil pack which passed. I also swapped plug wires, and reset the ecmlink settings and fpr for 37 psi. No change.Will update when I have a helper to verify sparkAlso, 2g MAF is unhacked, and I verified...

I'll set it back to 37 this afternoon on ECM and on the FPR.I believe it's an unhacked 2g MAF but I can verify that.I still need to OHM out the coil pack and I'll try swapping plug wires as well with another set. I'll see if I can do that on lunch

Here's a video of trying to start first thing this morning. No gas applied just key. After the first hiccup it'll just crank unless I flutter gas pedal it will do that again like it wants to start.I suspect that what ever made the car run funky 2 years ago when I parked it is also what is...

I used the ECMLink calculator for the fuel setting and dead time from the injector info chart. What should 950s be set at for global? For some reason it was at 71% when I plugged the laptop in.I can take some engine pics. I replaced the plugs right before that log. They were indeed fowled...

Hey guys, about 2 years ago I was in the process of tuning my car. Went through all the basic ECMLink testing stuff making sure it was mechanically sound, no boost leaks etc.Had the car close loop tuned and was beginning on open loop, when one day it started running poorly out of nowhere and I...

I keep seeing fuse 19 controls interior lights as well as back up power to ECU maybe check that. Its an inside the cab fuse drivers side

if you have dsm/ecmlink you can use that to "ground" the connector as well. Theres justt barely enough room to shoot the light from the top. Down to In between the timing covers and the body. It's the lower cover marks near the crank pulley.if your gun is adjustable. set to 5 degrees and you...

I've been learning how to use the auto set functions for maf in closed loop. I've got the car running solid at idle.Fuel trims are around 0%. My adjustment 70% tho starting outThat **insert angry words** plug is still leaking. I used permatex "thread sealer" and tightened it with a foot...

lmao didnt see that! it was on the right under latest posts for some reason :P

Does it do this at idle? Like say you start it in neutral, havent touched gas at all yet, then push the clutch. Does it still rev up??

Hmm the only time I had something similar. My clutch would slip at over 20 psi. But that was just too much power for the clutch. Comparing to yours, when you reach a certain threshold the clutch slips and motor free revs?Maybe something is binding or slipping other than clutch. Like others...

I think its super awesome! More likely a 2g thing, but I'd love to see it! Keep working at it, even if its just for yourself. If you build it, they will come lol.

no isc yet. im debating on putting one back in. I found my FIAV and ISC off stock throttle body. I need to get some new screws to mount it, and a gasket. (I had to use the angle grinder on 3 of them -.- )I think I might have just muffed my TPS setting. I was tinkering with the throttle stop...

Confirmed leak is indeed the plug in the block. If anyone hasn't touched it and is in there, I'd recommend putting some thread sealer on it :)

UPDATEI pulled the tranny and fixed a rear main leak. Come to find out that engine plug in there (Im assuming) is dripping too. Just UV tested it only drips off the slave cylinder. Dry inside everywhere i can touch in the bellhousing -.- Still good news, donut seals are pesky bastards. I will...

I'll look into testing/swapping the MAF...bought it used years ago. Worth ruling out.I saw something about surging idle on a ECM WIKI...quoted below https://www.ecmtuning.com/wiki/idlesurge"If you are running a configured idle speed that's higher than stock, it's possible to observe a slight...

I'll try and find a throttle body around.I got a 90 style for sure but don't want to mess with that. I think I have one taken apart somewhere...or anyone wanna sell me one? :Punplugging the maft (2g with ohm cable) stopped the surge. Not sure if thats related

Sounds good.So I put in my blacktop CAS again, no more code there. Set my base timing to 5 degrees. (0 with the gun at 5, and 5 with the gun at 0)Now Ive got some sort or surge. It seems the deadtime might be too high? If I lower the deadtime, car leans out but stops surging. Its an...

It looks like once closed loop activated, it fell gradually from 120-0. My s90 throttle body only has a TPS, everything else is deleted. Not sure if thats related?Roger. Now that it runs and warms up, I'll look into getting rid of CAS code by swapping back to blacktop....hopefully, and set the...

For sure ill do more digging and make sure everything else is pretty stock.I finally got the car into closed loop!Leak down holds about 95% air across all 4. Compression test got 130 cold across board.Fixed a buncha vacuum/boost leaks. Swapped in 950cc FIC. Changed CAS.Still wouldn't...

Hey guys. Like I said. I'm in the middle of moving so times been a little crunched. I haven't had a chance to mess with the car until now.I'll grab my Greentop out of storage today and try that.It is a 2.0l I will adjust that.I'll try deadtime after casThank you everyoneTO AVOID DOUBLE...

So far, I've adjusted the TPS manually to 0.65v (as close as I could get), then re ran the ECMLink calibration. I added the SMIM template to MafClamp Copied the 2g stock template from V3configs. 0'd out the Maf Comp changes I made. Set deadtime back to recommended 210 for FIC 650sIts looking...

It's an ebay intake manifold, I couldnt find a similar image on ebay currently.I haven't had time to mess with it the last few days, I'm in the middle of moving.I will replace my OpenLoopMaxOctane with the 2g chart. And 0 out my MafComp sliders.Are you suggesting manually adjust the TPS...

Thanks guys ill make a boost leak tester at home depot racing and try swapping out CAS. I have a green top sitting around.I tried adjusting the CAS all the way left and right and it didn't affect timing.I had the stock o2 (not sure if sensor was good) hooked up before wiring the wideband. It...

1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks? Vacuum and exhaust good visibly good, tight and all new. I don't have a boost leak tester.2). Verified mechanical timing? Yes3). Verified base timing? Verified CAS but i cant get idling long enough to set ignition timing.4). Ignition system COP or...

Good to know! I think those are the only factory lines I have left besides power steering :P

Yeah I think so

Not exactly sure what your asking.Something about a Bee r rev limiter?It helps people understand, if you use punctuation, somewhat proper grammar, and no run on sentances. :P

Rebuilds are super easy by the way, and parts are usually like 50-75$, I did my trucks garrett turbo no problem, but I didn't have any shaft play or contact, it was preventative maintainance.The main issue is you need to balance everything afterwards. And its one of those things, you may as...

Should just require a rebuild, I may be wrong. Id imagine the bearings are worn.Jusmx141 I believe is the name of the guy you want on here. Master turbo rebuilder, he balances and does machine work as well.https://www.dsmtuners.com/members/jusmx141.60709/

Maybe add a small note at top describing what it is first. I had to read all of it and see pics to figure it out. Looks great tho!

Did you ever determine why you were losing compression? Hopefully the bottom end checks out. One thing I've learned, is if you already have the head off, double check the bottom end! I did a head gasket/head job 2 times on my truck once. Fixed small issues both times, but neglected to check...

Unfortunately most people still building DSMs don't have that type of money to throw around. I agree its way easier and cheaper to just do the work yourself, or even pay someone to do it. Most people with that type of money moved on to Evos and GTRs etc.The enthusiasm is appreciated, but...

That will replace the soft lines only in the wheel wells. I used a similar set (from goodridge) along with JNZTUNING ABS delete. Which replaces under the hood lines to the front wheels. But keeps the hard lines running to the rear...

Thats sweet! Whats the price range on these?? Only seen tubular rears for the 2gs so this is awesome man

Are you talking about the thin metal plate that keeps the bottom of the bumper from flapping? Honestly Couldnt tell you, my project is 95% done and I havent put it back on yet. I live in the NW so no overheating issues expected with Aluminum radiator and fans. And I'm not running AC, but was...

My suggestion, after fxxking with my drain line for like 6 hours, with different combinations, and working with rigid AN lines, and very low tolerance, is to just use pushlok with some nice flexible rubber hose. Or just flanges and clamps with rubber oil line.Idk if its possible but moving the...

I have the ETS street intercooler on my 1g talon. You can see in my profile pic! Only minimal trimming of the inside of the bumper cover was necessary.Your biggest problem will be finding intercooler piping. I have a buddy that welds so i bought a universal kit, cut a few bends to length and...

https://www.vr-speed.com/vrsf-2g-dsm-front-mount-intercooler-kit-fmic-95-99-eclipse-talon-turbo-2g-dsm.html

check out vrsf intercoolers! I put theyre whole kit with piping on my old 2g talon, Install was really easy. Great price and quality

My 1g wouldn't start one time because the coolant temp sensor had popped off.OHM Racing sells the replacement plug with wire pigtail. I got from their ebay store for fast shipping along with a few other damaged connectors.

On a side note, your 2g alternator won't work without your gauge cluster plugged in. Learned this the hard way haha.

JM Fab makes a 10 gallon cell that goes in stock location and uses stock hoses for fill etc its only for AWD tho

The car was basically free because it need a clutch, so I didnt care too much :P Honestly, on a car you care about I wouldn't skimp on the flywheel. It's not too much more for a fidanza, competition etc. And Its bolted to your crank! I hear a lot of good things about the XTD clutches though...

You should be able to handle 400hp easily without concern of any drivetrain issues, besides the clutch. That seems to be the mark people put on a 6 bolt motor in stock form (400hp), and I've never seen 1 person bring up the tranny or axles needing to be built before that.
