    2G Loud knocking in my engine need help asap guys please! (Bad Oil Pump?)

    Dont give up so easily. Start by dropping the oil pan. Drain the car of oil, jack it up, remove the oil pan bolts and separate the oil pan from the block. Check to see if there are any fragments of the bearings in the pan (metal shavings), and cut the oil filter open to see if it caught any...

    beginner dsm'er GST issue

    consider a new BOV if you plan on running more than wastegate boost. Stock 2g bypass valves tend to leak somewhere around the mid teens sometimes less if Im not mistaken. A crushed 1g BOV should be enough

    Balance shaft tough to turn

    Its both the oil pump gear and the front bs gear. Its not too tight to turn by hand but it doesn't spin freely as shown in the video. There is also a certain point in the rotation where it becomes a bit more difficult to turn. Should I finish timing it and start it up and see how it runs? I'm...

    Balance shaft tough to turn

    I dont think the issue is the pump because I was getting good oil pressure before and its both sprockets that are difficult to turn. Plus the car hasnt had oil pressure in 2 months ish. Why would I need a new front case?

    Balance shaft tough to turn

    Long story short, Im doing a timing job on my 97 GST and I noticed while I was attempting to time the oil sprocket and balance shaft sprockets that I was unable to do the twist trick. The sprockets do not spin freely. What does this mean? I am unable to do what this video shows...

    Oh man my spyder is a POS compared to yours and I fight everyday to keep it stock and mint as possible. That car is absolutely mint. Buy a shell and throw your own engine and trans into it.

    Hey guys, about a week ago I noticed my turbo making a slight 'whirling' sound when it came on boost. Its been getting progressively worse over the last few days and I would like to know if it needs to be replaced. Thanks. Below is the link to a video, it may be difficult to hear.Fast...

    Looking good man. I definitely need to start looking into a GSX, although the spyder will still get lots of love!

    New to the dsm community

    420s handle boost fairly well, so Itd probably be better to go that route if power is what you're looking for.

    Is this a good deal for an authentic EVO 3 Big 16g?

    Hey guys, I found a guy pretty close to me selling an MHI Big 16g, looks good based off of the pictures. Contacted him about it and he said its in perfect condition and only has about 500 miles on it. How much do you think its worth? Picture below. Thanks!Edit: Forgot to mention it comes with...

    Pretty close! $2,500 and its pretty clean. Runs strong, turbo spools strong. Only issue Ive encountered is it idles kinda rough when the AC is on, compressor regulates every 5 seconds or so and causes the engine to jump 200-300 RPM. of course that's no problem because its plenty hot and the...

    Questions before buying a GST

    Will do. Hopefully I can get in contact with the seller again tomorrow morning.Also, was your car modified when you purchased it Jdabishop? I think I might just run it on wastegate pressure til I can get an mhi turbo in it. I really dont want to be driving around with Ebay parts in my car.

    I agree. Another red flag for me is that hes only owned the car for 6 months and is already looking to sell. However he did say he has paperwork for the engine internals, so I think its been replaced correctly.
