So I'm currently having an EVO 8 clutch/plate LSD installed into my previously open diff pumpkin. I got my information about the swap from this thread here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/evo-rear-lsd-in-a-1g-2g-housing.467544/According to the thread, the non LSD 2g axles I already have...

I'm about to drop my rear subframe, all the suspension stuff is out of the way, along with the axles, hubs etc. Only thing I'm not sure of is whether the rear brake lines, or fuel lines etc are bolted to it that I need to worry about? If anybody knows what other less obvious things like that I...

I'm going to be swapping to these brakes, I already have the calipers, but I haven't bought the brackets yet. I know that stock 16" 3000gt wheels, will fit the 4 piston vr4 brakes ON a 3000gt vr4. However those are 314mm rotors, and the caliper is mounted directly to the factory hub. I am not...

I'm having a hell of a hard time figuring out which brake master cylinder from RockAuto is the correct one. The ones that say AWD say non ABS, or just don't mention ABS...the ones that say ABS say FWD, or don't mention AWD.... Someone please for the love of God tell me which MCs will fit...

I have an intermittent no start, where I try to crank the car, I hear the starter solenoid click once (as they often do when your battery is dead.) but then doesn't actually crank, and the battery isn't actually low. I wondered if maybe the clutch switch wasn't being pushed all the way in, but...

I have a really bizarre problem, this did happen after changing my driveline fluids on the drive home. Everything was fine at first, perfectly normal, then about halfway home the first odd thing I noticed was I had more boost than normal, at a low rpm, with light throttle (was cruising on the...

Kind of random, but it just seems like many of the aftermarket bolt kits available for cars(and not just ours) come with allen heads instead of hex. I'm not really a fan of allens bc it's a pain if you don't have sockets for them, and I'm really just kind of wondering why they are so prevalent...

I searched and it seems like everybody else has the opposite issue... My gas pedal takes hardly any pressure to depress, and I know it's not the cable adjustment or throttle body springs. I am wondering if there is some sort of return spring that goes on the pedal itself, that is missing? I...

Rebuilding my throttle body, and I didn't mark the plate before taking apart... That being said, I have tried all 4 possible directions for the plate to face, and it's catching the bore just shy of closing completely in all 4 orientations. I did actually have another 2g tbody lying around, and I...

I had the oil pan and pump off for a refresh, and I also am installing a new turbo and switching from on head oil feed, to the filter housing. Unfortunately I forgot to prime the oil system before I installed a new timing belt(And I'm not taking it back off). That being said, I disconnected the...

I bought a car that had these shocks on it, and I know that to adjust them you turn the stem in the top of the stud. My problem is there is nothing there to give me any kind of indication about what the hell they are set at, and the adjustment doesn't stop at either end. I have absolutely no...

I have a total poly bushing kit from prothane, and am in the process of installing it, and I realized that there is no bushing included for the 2nd lower control arm in the front suspension, (it might have a different name, not sure, trailing arm maybe?) There are two LCAs up front but for some...

So I've never quite been happy with any of the usual methods of dealing with unused vacuum nipples. Looping vacuum lines, or plugging vacuum lines with bolts add's clutter, looks crappy, and while unlikely can pop off, will eventually dry rot, if the bolt is too big might make it break...

I no longer work as a technician with access to air compressors, and no longer have my air tools for that matter. I need to push some bushings out so I can install my polys, but I can't seem to find an electric version of an air hammer, and I've never seen one. The closest two things I found...

I have a chinabay 16g turbo and only 3 of the holes on the exhaust housing are threaded, I can't remember for sure, but I don't think a genuine MHI is like that, a genuine MHI has all 4 holes threaded right? Reason for asking is I am going to buy a used MHI turbo because this POS (previous owner...

So the turbo in the car I bought is worse off than I expected (I knew the seals were bad when I got the car) turns out the compressor wheel is chipped, I think possibly overspeed condition. My concern is where those pieces went, I am wondering if I need to tear the whole engine apart now, or...

so I believe 2ga's came with level sensors from what I read, and I have a light on that I believe to be coolant level, my overflow tank has no sensor in it, but I think somebody put a different overflow tank in it, I found what I think might be the coolant level sensor dangling, but I am not...

This car is the gift that keeps on giving....Still getting baffled regularly by how things were setup... So I couldn't stand the way the wiring to the turbo timer was routed, and didn't like the position of the turbo timer either, so I cut the wire in order to move it, and wound up driving...

Car I bought has an Apexi boost gauge, but after driving at night it wasn't lit, so I pull the A-pillar pod out, and find that it's not plugged into anything(mechanical gauge). My question is if anybody knows what color the wires for it are, it has only a 2 pin connector, I am also unsure if...

Just picked up this car, and I don't believe that it's leaking(haven't tested yet) but the FMIC is smashed in kinda bad on the bottom and it really bugs me. I know that bent fins can be bent back, but the whole bottom row is completely smashed in. And even the plate itself is bent a little bit...

So I just picked up a 2g with a full 6 bolt swap (supposedly anyway) And I am really confused atm about which parts are which generation. I have been searching for pictures for hours now and am still unclear on things. This all started when I began searching for a new water pipe(the one coming...

So I just bought a car that has a MAF translator on it, but it also has DSMlink(not sure if its v3 lite, or v3, but it has USB cable so its one of those two). Well the translator is missing half of its case/body, and I worry about it failing, and frankly with DSMlink its redundant as it has...

So in the wake of my talon getting obliterated in an accident(and me to a lesser extent) (kind of sort of at fault but not really, no recklessness or negligence were involved, and no fatalities) I am searching for my new forever project. I am basically between another 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird...

In other words, if you wanted a newer version of your dsm, what would you buy(since there are no new DSMs :( ?My DSM was recently utterly destroyed in a head-on collision.(And I got damaged rather badly as well, but I will heal, sadly my Talon will not....RIP :( There is nothing left of it or...

Just bought some H&R race springs and Koni shocks, I know that lowering the car will throw the camber out, that I'll likely if not certainly need an aftermarket part to correct it. My question is will I need to get any additional parts to keep toe or caster reasonable? And it seems as though...

I have DW1200s that I recently bought, and while they list a battery offset on their site: http://www.deatschwerks.com/products/fuel-injectors/sport-compact/mitsubishi/eclipse-dsm/1995-99-eclipse-dsm/42m-02-1200-4-detailIt doesn't help me much since I only have v2 link and can't change those...

Having difficulty pulling my evap core, if anyone has any helpful info itd be appreciated, can't seem to find any helpful info on pulling it, already have the glovebox off, and half seperated the evap box, but seems like there are unseen things still holding it in/together, also seems like the...

I recently installed dsmlink, and for the most part its working correctly, however I seem to be having an issue with logging, for some reason it is not logging the following values(and possibly others that I don't have it set to show on screen): Throttle position TPS volts ISC position MAF hz...

Engine is rebuilt, with very low miles, one of the very few things not replaced was the lifters. I just setup dsmlink, and started the car up to idle and verify timing. And this noise started, I THINK its just the lifters ticking by the sound of it, but I'd feel a lot better if someone who's...

Sprung a leak on my -6 an fuel line, and ran out of gas and had to ditch my car on the side of the road. Does anybody know of any common place story that would carry -AN hoses? I really, really, really don't want to have to order a new one and get the car towed, when it only takes a wrench and...

My head seems to be missing an oil or coolant plug that goes below the tstat housing, its a 2g head, I don't recall removing a plug from here and am having trouble finding a bolt that fits right, don't want to risk crossthreading it. Anyone know the size/thread pitch? Or is this where the oil...

Anyone in the area looking for a semi complete project (it's almost running again)? I haven't committed to selling it yet, but the bottom line is I just don't have the interest to work on it anymore, and very shortly won't have the time either, so I guess I am posting this to see if anyone is...

Running into a bit of a snag with my ARP stainless steel exhaust studs, they aren't threading all the way up to the non threaded portion, I wouldn't even say they are coming close, they definitely thread in, but not all the way. Anyone else run into this? Is that normal? I've used their studs...

I want to get a pair of kelford high lift cams, and I'm wondering if anyone has installed a pair or has any idea how much valve clearance they leave? Or if anyone knows how much lift or clearance the stock cams have. Idk how I could possibly check for clearance without buying the cams, and don't...

This fitting is kind of mangled, and I would really like to replace it, anybody know what size it is? ie. thread type, pitch, diamater, and barb size. The pipe I had before was even worse off as someone attempted to weld on a fitting and it leaked. This is the one that was on the shortblock I...

Edit: Took another look and figured it out myself, if it helps anyone in the future, there is an indented groove in it on one side for the slave cylinder boot. Plus if its backwards there is a visible gap you can see light through.

Anyone else notice that the driver side engine mount bracket (the one with 3 bolt holes, and that holds the bushing that gets a through bolt into the frame of the car) actually has conical bolt holes? Is that to allow more flex I'm guessing? Its only the outer 2 bolt holes, the one in the middle...

I have H beam rods that look almost identical to an eagle rod, they have ARP 2000 bolts on them. One of them spun a bearing and I bought a single eagle rod to replace it, I will use eagle's rod bolt torque spec for that one (43 ft lbs) however they claim that they use custom ARP bolts and not to...

Timing belt tensioner is practically new, less than 1k miles, but it compresses a little bit by hand rather easily, which I'm guessing means its junk now?

I am currently doing a rebuild, and was planning to reuse my ross pistons with a CR of 8.3:1, however I noticed after pulling them that at some point they kissed the valves(Didn't happen when I owned the car), while they appear to be ok, and didn't give me any problems, I have also discovered...

Saw a red 2g talon today with a black(might have been carbon but was too dark to tell) hood, and black wheels right by my house near WPXI ~8:30 tonight. Just curious if its someone that lives nearby, would be nice to know someone that understands the awesomeness of DSMs :hellyeah: instead of...

Long story short, I am rebuilding my engine(it was rebuilt before by a PO) reusing the .20 over ross pistons in a fresh block, but when cleaning them discovered that all 4 of them have valve contact marks. The indents are pretty minor and shallow, and I don't think the pistons will be unusable...

I'm looking for a decent 6 bolt shortblock, either all factory, or PROFESSIONALLY (ie. receipt for proof) rebuilt one). Not looking to spend more than $750. If anyone knows someone parting out a car, or with a 6 bolt lying around, please PM me, or if they are a member here, have them PM me.

Here's the deal, some time back after doing some work to my car it wouldn't start, I did some visual checking and found the wires to the ECT snapped right at the terminal end(ie. nothing left to splice back together). Naturally I went out and bought a connector, but it was an oval style...

Earlier today while setting my timing, I was keeping an eye on my engine temp, and according to my gauge it started to overheat, just shy of going into red, mind you I wasn't leaking coolant, and have never had overheating issues, other than leaks, which have all been fixed.That being said...

Here's the story, I have found at least a few things on my car that were hackjobs...I can't remember for sure, but I'm inclined to say the dimmer never worked since owning the car, now tonight I went and wired in a shiny new AFR gauge, and I know what I'm doing, all my connections are in the...

This is the build of my 1996 AWD Talon TSI 5spd. Goal:initially it was going to be my daily driver, and kept mostly stock...Pictured is shortly after I bought it, before I started working on it, alongside is my late '85 camaro project with a 3.4 swap, sadly I had to sacrifice one of the two...

Basically most of my emissions was already disabled when I bought the car, So I don't have the factory hoses to look at, I did have no CEL, but then when I put a new clutch in, I decided to 86 the evap canister to get some more useless clutter out of my engine bay, thinking that if I left the...

So I have a toggle switch panel that I had purchased a while back for a different project, that I never wound up using, and would like to put it in my 2g, trouble is, I cannot find a single area that is large enough and flat enough, to mount it, mind you, I currently have the factory HVAC...

I bought 2nd hand a v2 2g dsmlink setup, I verified the ECM has the chip in it(it does, and looks legitimate) I have the OBDII adapter(also looks legitimate) and a serial data cable, I am trying to connect to it with a relatively new HP laptop running windows 7, using the latest version of...
