Little update: so I ran into a issue I where the piston cooling nozzles backed themselves out and two case completely out. Lucky for me, no real damage other than a little nick in the crank. Thank my lucky stars I didn’t have my bottom end ripped apart. Can’t afford another $2500 rotating...

Good to see you joined. When I was fresh and green behind the ears to dsm’s(2006) and on dsmtalk. I remember you helping me out a few times. Probably don’t remember me as I never posted much, but spent a lot of time reading everyone else’s threads and post. My dsmtalk username was just my name...

Found input housing wasn’t seated/aligned properly.

So I transferred the good guts of one trans into the newer case..The only thing I didn’t touch/change on the newer bought case was the valve body.Put the w4a33 in the car. Filled with fluid and nothing. Put it in gear and the car does nothing. Doesn’t attempt to lurch or move.Lifted the...

HahahaI didn’t not know that! Wow, I’ve been around tuners for a while and never put that together. Nice to meet ya brad LOLShows you how little I pay attention.

Does it appear anyone has done previous wiring repairs anywhere in the alternator circuit?Also, I’ve never experienced it, but a lot of guys have had heating issues. The alternator gets to hot from the exhaust/o2housing. They either build a heat shield or relocate the alternator.-another...

I will most definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the advice, nice to find someone that’s experienced the pros and cons of braided loom. Overall it’s still fairly new/rare as most stick to plastic loom and yes, the plastic is a lot cheaper.

Don’t get meI’m still learning how to use the nylon braided loom. That’s really good to know how it traps debri! However, the “sand paper” rubbing affect could be said for plastic loom as well.I’m not against plastic loom, electrical tape, or even solder. I just think a lot of it is over...

The type of wiring used in 91’ compared to todays options is a no brainer. It’s the first thing that will be changed.It’s a outdated gtp type wire. As you can see doesn’t hold up more than a decade. From the constant heat and cooling effect in the engine bay and fluids coming into contact with...

Here’s a few pics of the trans. I’m sure it doesn’t offer much help other than. Yup it’s a transmission lol. Having the owner take some tc and flexplate pics later tonight.

Not a stupid question at all. As in, myself made sure to ask the very same thing. The flexplate direction seems to check out just fine.

That very well could be our problem. Unaware that there was a physical size difference.Is there a way to verify? Such as measuring the snout diameter and length on the tc? If so, then I’ll have to do some research on those measurements.

I do not believe he does have the original TC that came with the car. He has replaced the TC twice as each time the pump breaks. It’s clear the TC becomes highly contaminated with metal junks and debri.

So, engine was pulled out for mechanical issues.... while that’s out, I figured no better time than now to freshen up the 25+ year old weather beaten harness.I’ve done plenty of wiring tuck jobs and custom harnesses for other people. However, as usual, my car always gets left out due to time...

That is correct. After ensuring the tc is seated (3 distinct notches) I measured tc to flexplate clearance. The reading was 1/2”.From all my experience, that gap/clearance is to great. Which would cause the tc to disengage the pump when pulled flush and tightened to the flexplate. Which is...

He is running all 1g components. 1g w4a33 trans, TC, 6 bolt block.Aftermarket components related are: - kiggly flexplate - kiggly front and end clutches - forced four shift box(he says it’s at factory line pressure) I should verify, but for now will take his word for it.

He had purchased the car with the kiggly flexplate installed. The kiggly plate did stand out as a concern. As I Am not familiar with aftermarket flex plates.It is a bit of a red flag to me. It’s all factory components we are mating together other than the flexplate. The excessive clearance...

Short story long.Have a buddy running a w4a33 auto. He’s been through three pumps in just under 6 months.Car went 300 miles and then lost the pump. Replaced the pump and then made it 20+ miles. Then that pump broke.By the third time, he asked for my help as I’ve rebuilt a handful of autos...

when turn head lights on and/or off. They continuously cycle about 5-7 times before coming to a stop. The left and right will stop in different positions.I've tried to reset or calibrate them by turn the headlight switch off. Then adjusting the headlights to the closed position to time them...

Outstanding! Thanks for all the help.

Thank you for the info.Is there a credible website that covers the entire transmission for parts? Would like to find a place for future reference.

In need of the center diff. Roller(cone) bearing(s) number. Can't find them anywhere and in none of the rebuild kits.Starting to get a bit irritated as It's the last piece of my rebuild. Been looking for two weeks.

In 2009, I bought my 1g back that I owned in high school. Well because of "life happns" the car has sat and I've literally put 5 miles on the car since it's purchase. I've spent a lot of time working on it though.Owner made a lot of claims during the purchase, but could never verify as he had...

Short story long, my 6 bolt was built with "money doesn't buy you brains" mentality. This guy spent the big bucks and got the best of the best. However, a lot has went wrong with this motor from his inexperience.Engine was built prior to my purchase. Everything checked out to what the owner...

Correction, headlights still omit light when I put the key in the ignition, but if I turn them on they oscillate 5-7 times up and down until they rest in odd ball positions. Adjusting the dials to match eachother does nothing.They still end up in different spots once they are done putting on...

Removed one headlight bucket and after reinstalling it. I turn the lights on and the headlights flip up and down several times instead of stopping in the up or down position right away.Then they also oscillate instead of being in timed. Also, the head lights never turn on an omit light?Any...

The talon is still hidden in the garage for now. I got around it by luck, the wife's friend lives in a duplicates next to us. Which is owned by different people. We have been allowed to park our second car in their guest parking area.However, once the snow flys we cant park there as they for...

Thank you!Yes, I know of the website. I'm waiting to buy the entire engine harness connector kit from them when I'm able to build my harness from scratch :).Any pointers or suggestions on what to tweak other than the battery being relocated and deleting the abs would be great! I will be...

Went through an tried to clean the wiring up the best I could.Given my living conditions and strict apartment policy against working on vehicles. Plus the car has to be gone due to no plates(found a different storage place).With about a couple days of pretty much undoing and then being...

sweet, Thanks guys.Sorry for the horrible spelling, My android loves auto correcting and then proceeds to fight me. Greddy was freedy, then greedy, etc... when typing this out.Just another reason to buy a aftermarket part I shouldn't have to waste money on :/

This may seem like a wasted thread, but I pulled the cables completely out a long time ago.Trying to remember where the black w/red goes. I could swear it went from the starter to the B+ of the battery. However, after seeing the awesome thread by 19Eclipse90. He has both black w/yellow and...

Here I go beating a dead horse again.However, went to pull the smaller spring due to the adjustment screw backed all the way out and still getting surge/flutter.I Assumed it was a knock off greddy bov as there's no Greedy stamp or sticker anywhere. After popping the top I noticed the...

Safety wise, my seats themselves don't seem to be mounted in a safe angle. I would never get into the 45deg angle. They are almost mounted parallel with the floor board.Ill have to figure another mounting bracket for the seats and harness's. Last thing I want to do is snap my neck or spine...

Yes, they are a 3 point harness. I am some what regretting not going for a proper 4 point. I may try to find someone at our local track that does the inspections first. That way I'm not driving all the way out there to be turned away.

As most I've always been a die hard drag strip kinda guy. However, as I have gotten older the Road & especially autocross scene has really been gauging my interest. Finally have a few friends getting into it which is causing me to be less interested in drag racing 24/7.From what I can gather...

Yeah I have the special crimp pliers. I've don't a couple custom harness's/ tuck jobs. By no means am I great at it, but I know enough to be dangerous :DIf I do have to go the pigtail route to get a certain connector, I won't use the wires. I really try to stay away from butt connecting even...

91' eagle talon tsi awd manual.Decided I was going to finally start my wiring tuck job. Removed all three main harness's that come out of the fire wall. Have my game plan of what I want to do.However, inspecting my wiring and peeling the sheathing/tape off the engine harness. I'd spend more...

Pulled the intake manifold off to do some other misc. Stuff.Had some down time at work, and free primer and paint(black holds heat, I get it). It came out ok, but we will see if it will hold up to even installing it.

Which one do you wanna know about? Haha.Personally, I'd like to think I don't believe in the paranormal. However, I've had some pretty questionable moments in life.As a kid, my mother and grandparents would tell me story's about my grandparents home that was supposedly built on a old...

I keep digging deeper into the car and finding so many things that look like shade tree mechanic repairs.Its been almost a decade since I've seen a factor 1g knock sensor. The black tar on the back of the senor is hard and does not come off.However, if it's a factory sensor, then they did a...

Just figured I'd vent a bit, so don't mind if I do.After 4 years of not touching my talon, I finally get it home and in the garage to begin what I put off for to long.I have had the car home at my townhouse in the garage for about two weeks. Well I had the garage door open the other day an...

It's been like that from day one of purchase. obviously, it I never seen it from the timing cover. The edge of the belt is starting to Frey like shoe laces and the center has a rub mark down the center of the mark, also, there's a random spot with a 1/8 chunk of belt missing. I'll try and get a...

I have the same issue with the belt not centered and pushed to the edge of the can gears. Sorry not thread jacking, just great to see I'm not alone and possible causes.

That's a great point, I have yet to decide if e85 is a bath I want to go downjust yet, but I will always keep that option open. I can barely wrap my head around everything to setup the car right on premium, LOL.All honesty, I was looking to make 400hp at the crank. I understand setting a goal...

I apologize if you feel I have not taken your experience and knowledge into account.However, I understand with the 750cc injectors the car can safetly be run. Taken into account to hit my HP mark I planned for this car on this turbo. Even if I were to adjust fuel pressure to 43.5psi, keep my...

I'm going to get a AFPR before I move any further to get psi up to 43.5(gives me a reason to install my FIC fuel rail) and it will relieve the possibility of fuel overrun at idle. That way it will take away one headache and I can tune knowing I'm flowing 750cc for what they are.Also, keep my...

You guys have been a world of help!Sadly, I am still running the stock 1g FPR. Which after more research, I shouldn't be so focused on injector size, but be able to get a little more pressure out of my system. May take out a bank loan to get an AFPR(totally kidding). Would it be safe to adjust...

Yeah I was playing around with a few other fuel injector calculators. They were within the ball park of eachother. It is nice to get a round about idea, but have yet to find one that you plug in turbocharger numbers or air flow numbers to get a fuel injector size, fuel pressure, etc..I'll keep...
