I am currently running v3 and recently got DTC 0012 and 0014.... The car worked great in the morning and when going to leave for home from work the car would start and idle but when giving gas it would sputter and die and CEL would come on...
Plugged in laptop and got the above mentioned DTC's...
Oh and by the way on my 1969 VW Westfalia I had to replace the entire steering setup because it did exactly what you are talking about. I had about 5-8 inches of freeplay when driving. It almost looked as if I was fake driving like it did in the movies 40 years ago with the continuous movement...
Donniegst... What the hell does your post have to do with Alex's?
Why clutter up his build thread with your pipe dream?
If you want to put a 4g63 in that 'thing' why don't you create your own build thread and put it there?
Alex keep up the good work it is coming along quite nice. I have...
Okay DSM gurus... I have searched and can not find what I am looking for.
My brother just bought a 1990 GS-T. The car is in remarkable condition. It has a tendency to run hot but does not overheat. I noticed that the only fan that works is the passenger side fan. Now in my DSM to get both fans...
What are you talking about? I didn't see any bashing...
Bastard's signiture clearly states his times and MPH... I don't know the guy but I listen when he has something to say because it always makes so much more sense than 90% of the "I think.." or "I heard.." or "My buddy.." statements that...
Here is a Jafromobile video where he installs the valve cover seal and you get a good idea on how he does it.
The valve cover install starts at 17:46 with the half moon seal and goes from there.
Hope this helps.
These guys are awesome for DSM parts! They should have what you are looking for and they will have it a an awesome price as well.

Have you tried the 4G63 & EVO Buy and sell trader facebook page? Check it out you might find what you are looking for or find someone who can help you out.
Your engine bay looks amazing!
I wish I had the fabrication skills you have.
Some of the things you implemented I couldn't even dream of in my wildest dreams let alone build it and test the idea out.
Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to what you come up with next.
Did you ever figure out your turning by hand issue? From my previous expierience once you put the timinig belt on and try to turn the motor by hand it will provide resistance and putting a wrench on the crank is the only way to get it to spin. Also a way to find out if the valves are hitting the...

Might be what you are looking for.
If not... still some pretty cool information.
Look up Jafromobile's Youtube channel there is hours of helpful information on the 4G63.
You might want to grab a pack of beer and some popcorn before watching the videos.
If you type WPC in the youtube search bar there are some videos showing just how slippery this treatment can make things. I really think it will help and for the $150 you can't beat it.The turnaround for the parts is 3-4 days which is awesome for those of us that can't have our toys down for...
I have decided to have this treatment done to my turbo. Before I do I am going to test it before and after to have some genuine before and after spool rates and temperature readings to see exactly how well the treatment helps.Just an FYI.The turbo is a genuine 20g.
Hey Dale can you explain this a little maybe with some pictures or diagrams? I am gettiing ready to torque my head down on some new ARP hardware and want to make sure I am following what you are saying.
Attention all I made an inquiry with the company WPC Treatment and got some basic pricing for some common 4g63 parts that would benefit from this treatment.
My question to you all (DSM community) is have any of you used this particular treatment for turbo components and did you see a...
Wow... Somebody needs a hug.I am not saying the guy is in the right, I am just saying he is obviously not going to listen so why continue with the negativity? How are you really going to stop this guy? Do you think that when you reach a certain post count he is going to say " hey you know...
Wow you are a real d1ck if I ever saw one. You are actually hoping and wanting this guy to die huh?Second there are plenty of vehicles on the road today that are unsafe and have resulted in the deaths of plenty of people. Some of these vehicles are still on the road today for example the...
It is easy just take off the driver side motor mount and cross member and lower front motor mount.Take the driver side wheel off to have easier access to the front of the engine.Then support the engine under the oil pan with a jack and a piece of wood and an old folded up towel so you...
This is one fantastic build. I love the restoration aspect from the wheels to the front mount retaining the fog lamps. You do really phenomenal work and pay great attention to detail.
Great response Dale! This is exactly what I was thinking as well.To the OP when you had the timing belt failure did you repair original head or did you source a new/used head?
It's a good thing you have AWD as well :rolleyes: You should hit that 200 mph mark way before LandSpeed hits his 180 mph goal with his inferior FWD and all. :p
Just goes to show how the loss of weight and ingenuity can net great passes at the drag strip.
I bet your same set-up would get you a better time in a 1G but I know you already know that.
I am glad I am starting with an already light DSM model. I may never get to Justin's weight but it is a...
My girlfriends Jeep Grand Cherokee had this issue with one of the injectors working fine at cold start-up but not working when warm. I tested them with a volt meter by checking ohms and found that I got absolutely nothing when the injector in question was warm.
I replaced it with a...
That is my point of view exactly. Especially for a bleeder type MBC. I very rarely drive my car without constantly checking temperature, oil pressure, boost levels, and a whole bunch of other things because I know if something fails it could be catastrophic if not caught in time.
You can run the lines into the cab. I have run it on my DSM since 2001 this way. I have the controller coming through the coin keeper right in front of the shifter. I have great control of my boost from the cockpit with my home made MBC. I will post pictures of it if you want to see how I did it.
I don't think the car is worth $4,500. Especially if he is taking all the good go fast parts.
I was going to ask why it appears as though there are no bolts holding the valve cover on. But after reading the post about swapping the camshafts maybe he was in the process of doing that when he...
I bet you are not getting any more replys because users are waitinig for you to post your findings of suggested solutions.
You said you were going to check on and do some of the things that were suggested but you haven't really answered any of the questions asked or posted your findings of...
What parts did you have treated by WPC? What was the general cost for those parts you had treated? From the video demos it looks like a great product for reducing friction and heat.
I am 32, I have had several over years. My first DSM was a 1991 Mitsubishi GS-T which I ran a mid-11 second quarter mile with the old 14B back in 2003-2004 didn't think it was that special until I started reading the 14b drag race discussion thread a while back. I don't have the time slips any...
Did you find any of the numerous 7 second FWD vehicles you were going to look for on the interweb??So you think what you said
is fact?? How in any way, shape, or form is that fact?You have still failed to see the accomplishments of all of these FWD's in this thread that have done...
It is in your profile you mention that it is ported by pj91gsx.It seems to me you started a war or wanted to prove you were a troll that lives under the internet bridge by commenting in a thread about FWD vehicles without reading any of the posts and just the title and then responding with...
I would pull everything apart after finding chunks like those.Especially if I am running a turbo that I have spent any kind of money on and want to continue using as a turbo and not an expensive paper weight.Plus if you don't know first hand what the motor has gone through and where it...
