Could be pivot ball/clutch fork like you're thinking, mine had a similar issue with engagement and it was my clutch fork being so old that the pivot ball almost wore all the way through it. See if you can determine how much play you are having in the fork. i also had a noname 6puck unsprung...
Getting car back together after 6 years in pieces - pretty close, but I'm trying to figure out what exactly these are or go to. I can't sleep at night until I know, haven't been very successful searching some of them. Any help or input appreciatedThe first is a multi plug i found tucked back...
Yeah at this point I don't mind paying to have it done, I let it get too out of hand so they are doing a good job restoring the car by powdercoating suspension parts, sandblasting my rusty rotors, i'm having them replace all wheel bearings etc now as well so we shouldn't have any problems once...
Big updateMy last mechanic took the awd parts off the donor, put my bare motor in the car and came to a halt there basically. I ended up at my tuners doorstep, 3sx/Performance Factory of Concord, NC. Many of you may be familiar with their work on the 3000gt/stealth platform, they held world...
Rear end of donor car is out. Donor car is stripped and gone.
Fender braces are being built.
Custom bump steer kit came in.
Custom o2 housing came in.
Trying to get ahold of some custom LCA's.
Car will be awd very soon.View updates to this DSM profile...
Few updates if anyone still cares LOL ; all new dss stage 2 axles. Motor is built. Awd tubular rear subframe acquired. Badass catchcan acquired. The manifold that Dave Ruby went 9s on has been acquired. Custom O2 housing and downpipe is being created. Awd swap and tune coming soonView...
Beast car man, love your ingenuity. It's something special to see someone make their car how they want it. Seeing this makes me excited to complete my build in the near future. Good luck and hope to see you at the shootout!
Yeah his budget was 600 and is now 400 and you guys are telling him to put in aggressive cams that generally come AFTER the big upgrades everyone has recommended. So yeah just ignore my post and go ahead with your small budget to build the s*** out of your head with cheap parts. I recommended...
What width? That isnt +24 offset, your tires would be obviously sticking out. Any aftermarket wheel is pushing it on a dsm, the lower the offset and bigger width then they start looking goofy as hell without fender flaresThats pretty much what evo 8 wheels are
SD isnt necessarily an upgrade, just a must have for people who outflow the stock maf. Him switching to sd has nothing to do with his problem, don't know why you would recommend it. If he can't figure this problem out, why would he move to a more complicated system than the stock maf?
Just stay stock. Youre going to spend a lot of money upgrading headstuds, springs, retainers etc when you could just have the fastest spooling cam - the stock cam. If you want more top end power, go for a 264/272 or something in that area. Youre kind of not ready for bigger cams. Im using...
Ive always heard with aftermarket fuel pumps to never let the car get too low on gas. Also, the fuel pump operates at its best when its above half a tank. When it gets low, all of that empty space just turns into hot air and is making your fuel pump work harder. Just keep more gas in the tank. I...
I think polished would look better, i mean black and white is just that...black and white lol. What wheels are those? I can never tell with black wheels
South bend clutch from tmzperformance. At those power levels you need to suck it up and get something that will work like you want it to work. Dont buy a trash clutch and replace it. Get a bus pass and save up for the parts you need.
I'm a celtic blue pearl guy myself, from the 96 eclipses
Edit - yep everyone calls it purple but I have no idea why, theyre color retarded. When the sun hits it, it is pink all day
read right over the compression the first time, that's really good to see the stock crank holding it down at those numbers. building my motor the exact same, glad to have you and your knowledge on the forums
on my 16g setup I ran the fp manifold with a heat blanket, no ill effects from the heat on that setup.
My hx40 setup is still under construction, I will be running a JMFab manifold with no exhaust wrap. I will keep you updated on that. Not too concerned on the underside of the hood regardless, I...
If your car is stock, drive it like its stock. Anything else and youre just waisting time and putting wear and tear on shit for an easy thrill. Get a honda if you want to drive a stock car like an asshole.
My vote is 2.0, there is a thread on the different types of motors you can go with and the pros and cons of each. You should check that out, isn't too hard to find but i'm on my phone. 2.3 will make loads of torque and is a nice option that i feel like honestly more people go with, but I feel...
Id say go t3 hx40 but at this point, where does op want to be? Is twin scroll t4 gt42 or BW in his options or does he want the most out of his setup? All i ever heard was dont run a mhi/fp turbo over 30psi, im not trying to say it cant be done but does op want dd or weekend warrior/garage queen...
don't worry, he jb welded it :ohdamn::hellyeah: and he didn't say anywhere the brand of the manifold so it's obviously ebay. he posted in his journal earlier
did you change the filter too? it could've sucked up dirt when your pump went and is letting fuel through but not enough to keep it running and maintain adequate fuel pressure. Just a thought. I saw you said you changed the pump but haven't mentioned the filter which concerns me.
i would count the blades, the numbers on a compressor cover don't exactly mean for sure it is what it's supposed to be. I had an evo X 16g wheel stuffed inside of a 14b compressor cover with a 16g hotside.
In the car world, you can pick TWO out of three things: Cheap, reliable, and fast. The 420a is very cheap, and very reliable. Theyre just not meant for power. You can make power with anything if you jump through enough hoops, but when you put the 420a next to the legendary 4g63, its easy to say...
So yeah yeah i've heard you can machine out the pumpkins of a non-lsd 2g rear end and stuff it with a mechanical evo 8 or 9 LSD which is a superior lsd to our viscous offerings. But I also hear us 2g guys can put a evo 3 mechanical LSD into our LSD rear ends? I'm all for mechanical LSD because...
