    1G Throttlebody Swap

    I’d first look into the other comments since it won’t be a straight bolt-on install.In regards to your question about the vacuum lines, I believe you could use a vacuum tee fitting to connect the other line to one of the ports.

    2G Is this the stock turbo?

    Hard to tell from the pics but it looks like a 16g/14b variant. No markings on the housings may indicate that it is a China 16g, but nobody will be able to tell from those pics.It looks like your BOV is unrecirculated which is not a good choice since you’re running the stock MAF sensor. The...

    Downpipe advice

    I'm in the same boat as you since I live in CA. I also have my smog due in May which I'm worried about :cry:. Unfortunately, it's impossible to have a 100% legal exhaust that performs to your expectations since everything that's required is a major restriction.If you'd like to find a CA CARB...

    RTM Racing Order

    I've ordered twice from them. First time I got my order within a week. Second, it had been over a week with no update before I decided to call their number about five times a day and eventually Abbas (I think that's how you spell it) picked up. All he said was it should have shipped, but it's...

    3 transmissions, which would you rebuild?

    I just checked and it appears that the silver one has the two hole shift fork while the black has the three hole 3rd/4th gear shift fork. I find this rather odd since the silver npxv has the earlier 5 gear.

    3 transmissions, which would you rebuild?

    I'd really like to take off the next piece of casing but I don't have a special tool for disassembling and retorqing the splines. Sounds like I'll be using the silver for now and saving the black npxv for an evo cluster!Thanks again Wiseman!

    3 transmissions, which would you rebuild?

    I too am also trying to figure out which transmission I should run and which I should use for a rebuild, maybe my pics will help the OP. I have two NPXV transmissions that have the same 5th gear cover (slanted portion and part number MD741185). Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe both have 3x...

    1G Turn Signal Lamps

    They would be the same but I don't think you'll be able to find a set of new ones online. I've tried multiple sites and all were out of stock or my order was cancelled. Even if it shows they have them, you'll get an email a day or two later stating they were discontinued.If you manage to find...

    1G Rear control arm bushing removal tips?

    I am currently doing the front subframe bushings on my 1g. Quickest and easiest way to get the old bushings out is with a socket and a sledgehammer. Took 10 minutes to get all the old bushings out.

    1G Taking the bottom end out of my 93 6 bolt and storing it?

    I just bought a 1 ton HF crane this week and i have to say the quality isn't that bad. It came in two boxes and easily fit in my corolla. If you plan on dropping a motor in you may want to pick up a leveler while you're at HF. You can definitely do it by yourself, I'd suggest picking up some...

    1G Taking the bottom end out of my 93 6 bolt and storing it?

    I did this for the first time on my 90 talon a month or two back with the transmission and it wasn't that bad.I used a shop crane (cherrypicker) and pulled it out from the top. Just take the hood off, connect the crane onto the shortblock, remove all remaining mounts and then lift it out of...

    1G Small Chip on Wiseco Piston

    There is a small chip right at the edge of the valve relief on this Wiseco Piston. No damage has been done to the bore and the rest of the block seems to check out, just the chip and slight oxidation on the bores.Would it survive running as is for a couple thousand miles while I build my...

    1G Trying to Purchase a 6 Bolt Short Block

    Yea... I was thinking that as my other option. Its the original block from my 1990 TSi AWD. Bores appear to be in great condition, still see the lines from the last hone. Looks like it was rebuilt last year with the wrong pistons. If I were to rebuild it, would I need to get the bores rehoned?

    1G Trying to Purchase a 6 Bolt Short Block

    My 1g is still down after discovering NA pistons in my block. I don't want to run it and I feel a rebuild is definitely needed in order to drive without worries. I feel like I would be better off buying a used short block for the time being since I want to slowly build my original block on the...

    Thanks! Found out it's a later model water pipe and I have a 90 so I don't have a water coolerThanks for the reply. Found out it was actually a 1g 7 bolt head so I still ended up buying a correct 1g head LOL

    1G What Would you do? Run it or Rebuild?

    Not gonna lie I do want to have some fun with this car and I plan on learning how to tune with it too. Still on the fence about it but I feel like a swap should be done. NPR 1g pistons would be a safe move on my part.The cylinder walls look pretty good. Smooth, no lip, I can still see the...

    1G What Would you do? Run it or Rebuild?

    It's a 1g 6 bolt. My 1g is a project so I'd rarely be driving it until I graduate and get the funds for a total rebuild. I've read that the 1g timing maps are pretty aggressive but still need link to tune. There's a shop by my house that tunes evos so I may just pay them to do a very mild tune...

    1G What Would you do? Run it or Rebuild?

    It's a 90 TSi AWD with the original block! I plan on picking up a block and building it when I can find one for a decent deal. Going to go all out on a different block once I have the funds.I have mmcd on a palm emulator but I'm definitely getting link and wideband before any thoughts on a...

    1G What Would you do? Run it or Rebuild?

    Apparently some dsmers are foolish as it was already rebuilt with the wrong pistons. It's not like I planned for this to happen but doing supporting mods first in preparation for a forged rebuild may be a better alternative to a rebuild on a freshly rebuilt motor. I'm not going to be driving it...

    1G What Would you do? Run it or Rebuild?

    Some of you may have seen my previous post about discovering "63D" NA 9:1 pistons in my 6 bolt block from a rebuild done by the previous owner. When I bought the car the wastegate actuator wasn't connected to the flapper and shortly after I reconnected it, lovely boost came on and I feel like...

    1G Oil Pump Sprocket Not Turning Freely

    The engine has been driven. Probably for a while since they deleted the balance shaft. I've probably put 30 miles on it since I've gotten it but the head gasket popped so I have the head and timing belt off. It turns by easily hand but does not turn or move otherwise.I mean it does spin if I...

    1G Oil Pump Sprocket Not Turning Freely

    This is the first time I have worked on an engine and I need some advice on whether or not something is wrong with my oil pump. In all the videos I have watched on the oil pump sprocket, it seems to turn relatively freely and land on a certain destination depending on if it's in time or not. My...

    NA Pistons Found in 6 bolt, Head Question, Parts Find

    After figuring out the different pistons with smaller reliefs and having oversized valves I was probably going to run stock cams. Do you think I'll be okay?I plan on using stock cams with the oversized valves. Do you still think they will be too big for the smaller reliefs on the NA pistons...

    Coolant Accessory Hoses - Where to Buy

    I read that silicone is primarily used for racing and although they are more heat resistant, they wear out faster than rubber hoses. How long have you been using silicone for?Just checked out ohm racing and they are out of stock for 1g ):

    Blown Head Gasket

    Thanks for your input! I've had the car for a couple months yes but I've probably only put about 20 miles on it. When I change the oil, it was really thick and dark but there were no shavings or any debris. It was also really low but there was a huge crack on the valve cover, after replacing...
