    Drive train problems

    Was going thru threads I posted and found this. Posting now to help others who use the search. My last post reflects I didn't have any further problems with vibrations. But within 7k miles(garage queen don't drive it much) I had all 4 wheels lockup on the interstate at 80mph... Found the car...

    Redline MT90 review

    Ive been running 2qts mt90 and filling the rest with mtl. Been doing this for 13years. 247,000miles later the trans has had a center diff rebuild, new intermediate bearings, and 3rd synchro changed out with a better used one. Its my daily driver. My other car has 1qt redline 75w-140ns and...

    FP 68HTA dyno results

    I remembered reading about the evo 3 being different, the turbine housing is for sure lighter its a different casting than a standard tdo5h 6or7cm housing. I knew one of the wheels on the e316g was slightly different than a standard b16g from research I did years ago. Guess my memory is fading...

    FP 68HTA dyno results

    The evo 3 turbine is slightly different than the standard tdo5h. That's why people suggest the e316g over a b16g.b16g est. 40lb/min e316g 42lb/min. tdo5h turbine inducer 1.893 exducer 2.68. evo3 turbine inducer 1.903 exducer 2.68. The blades on the e316g turbine are also thinner than a...

    FP 68HTA dyno results

    Sorry my bad, if you mounted your hta68 compressor wheel and cover onto an e316g you would have the v1 hta 68 (tdo5h turbine 7cm turbine housing). I don't know that forced performance used an evo 3 turbine wheel in the v1. The e3 turbine is lighter than a standard tdo5h turbine which would...

    FP 68HTA dyno results

    I was gonna say for those that want to daily drive the new hta68 have a 7cm machined out to fit it. Note: with the new hta68 I think the turbine is too larger to fit in an evo 3 7cm(less material) so you may need to find a b16g 7cm housing.19gsx you wouldn't gain much spool bolting a 16g...

    Evo 1 Gsr Awd Lsd Transmission In 2g

    In the pictures on TRE's website it looks like there ctd housing is modified and their cross shaft is driven by 4 points? Anyone have more pictures of tre's shaft in a housing? I can only see what tre has on there website.

    Awd transmission ,3rd gear will not engage

    For the OP if your cracking an awd its about a guarantee the center diff is gonna need attention.

    Awd transmission ,3rd gear will not engage

    If you take the trans apart you may need to replace the intermediate shaft bearings and shim accordingly. The intermediate bearings seem to be a high stress area in the awd transmissions.Keltalon had a link to I believe cobra transmission, they had a rebuild kit with bearings and...

    oil question

    Forgot about Schaeffer good oil. The zddp content is the major lubricating component and I just don't think any of the expensive oils have enought to justify the extra cost vs t6. Plus t6 is available anywhere. Mobile 1 zddp 950ish ppm, t6 1250ish ppm, the good high end oils 1400-1500max ppm...

    oil question

    Like I said above I would recommend a synthetic blend because there's a chance that the seals are old,dried,stiff and a full synthetic could lead to slight leakage. You can run a full synthetic and if the seals leak a little you could then switch to a synthetic blend. The last 2 dsm's and my...

    oil question

    After tons and tons of oil research the best bang for the buck is shell rotella t6 full synthetic. It has around 1250ppm of zddp which is what you want in good oil(mobile 1 950ppm). You will not find a better oil unless you buy a racing only oil(brad penn, Valvoline zr1?, amsoil's racing oil...

    TD06 20g with a TD06H turbine, stuffed into a 14b turbine housing

    I don't think the 06h wheel in a 6cm housing would have great higher rpm numbers but I would figure it to be better than a 14b. The midrange power should be excellent, would get a rise in hp/tq and then it would kinda drop off. Prob be a good daily driven setup and you wouldn't have to add...

    2G new tires

    I put uniroyal tiger paw touring (all season with a decent speed rating) on my daily driver(awd) a couple years ago and love them. They used to be regular stock at Walmart back in the day when I worked in the TLE. I sold a bunch of them to customers and they all loved them even over the...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    The other day I removed, cleaned, and installed new brushes into my alternator. Also took two of my seized main cooling fan motors apart, cleaned, and assembled 1 good fan motor. The bolts were seized in the ac fan shroud so I had to remove the radiator to have clearance to get the alternator...

    1G 6500 rpm loud pop

    Sounds like fuel cut which is based off airflow. Basically your overrunning the stock mass airflow sensor so it cuts fuel. You can remove the honey comb from the unmetered section(of the MAF sensor) and remove the screw to help reduce fuel cut. Thing is you need larger injectors and a way to...

    Best stock turbo setup

    What I'm saying is a tuning option isn't essential to max the potential of the t25 and 2g smic not weather or not to get it, im saying it is not needed for what the OP's current goals are. You can install exhaust, a turbo intake with filter, fuel pump (evo or walbro 190, with 255lph pumps most...

    Need Tranny rebuilt

    TRE or TMZ performance. Jacks doenst do complete rebuilds anymore neither does shep. You can send your input/output clusters to jacks but they don't do a complete rebuild and if you have just the clusters done you will still have to shim for the new bearings and have the center diff rebuilt...

    91stocker if you read my post I clearly said if he has plans to upgrade(turbo,ect) link would be a good decision along with stating it would be good to learn tuning on a stockish platform.I said in the last post if he's going to stay on the stock turbo and smic link isn't a must have mod...

    Best stock turbo setup

    I honestly don't see a point in link if your going to run the t25 unless you want to practice tuning. The t25 is pushing its efficiency at 15psi and the stock 2g side mount will heat soak after 1st-2nd gear @ 15psi and link isn't going to help you with that. If your gonna run the stock...

    Best stock turbo setup

    The mk4 supra smic is said to be the most efficient side mount you can get. But they are getting so difficult to find/expensive in good shape that it makes more sense to go with vrsf.Poly motor mounts suck unless you plan to race, they transfer a s**t ton of vibration into the car that gets...

    Evo 1 Gsr Awd Lsd Transmission In 2g

    Bastard what I was getting at with the mix and match was using the 90 gears because they are suppose to be "hd" and I get what you are saying about 3/4 I overlooked that this morning. I need to research more how people use the 90 HD gears. 3/4 seem to be the gears that fail and if you use 90...

    Evo 1 Gsr Awd Lsd Transmission In 2g

    I thought the evo 1 had the HD hub also but I guess maybe it depends on which evo 1 trans. Between the jdm gallant and the evo 1 variants there are 4 different transmissions I think. Some of the evo 1 transmission have pads on the shift forks, I'm thinking they were plastic?The 90-early 91...

    2G 1997 gst transmission rebuild kit?

    It seems the intermediate shaft bearings are under more stress as they are usually bad in the 5 awd ones I have taken apart, not sure if the fwd are effected in the same way. And yes steve is right about adjusting preload... its a pita. You replace the input and intermediate bearings and then...

    1G Where to buy subframe parts

    td06h and td06sl2 housing

    I was always under the impression that the 9blade sl2 was slower spooling than the 11blade as the less blades were meant for higher boost, less area higher speed thought the 9 blade was suppose to act like a clipped turbine? Turbine weight will also effect spool? I did a lot of reading about...

    To all of the people that have stripped 3-4 gear what tires were you running and did it happen on the street?I could see stripping gears with slicks on at a tacky drag strip. On the street with street tires @ 800hp the gears wouldn't been under so much stress with the tires spinning right?

    Saab What variant hx35 are your running im assuming a billet compressor? Everything Ive found says stock hx35 does 61lb/min. Ive always been under the impression 10hp to 1lb/min.

    Stock longblock record

    Most engine dyno I have seen with stock cams will peak torque around 5,500rpm and peak horsepower around 6,400. That dyno peaked at 7,000 because he has a hawver short runner intake manifold that helped move the peak power up a little and had valve springs to accommodate 9,000rpm. The motor...

    1G 94 manual trans in a 90, clutch slipping.

    If your not running AC(ac bracket removed) you will need a spacer on one of those two bolts. If the spacer isn't close to the correct size it will get the mount in a bind and the bolts will either break off or come loose. I machined my own spacer but you used to be able to buy them.

    1G 94 manual trans in a 90, clutch slipping.

    The input shaft seal could be bad in the new trans causing the slipping but not the noise.

Only thing I could think of is the disk got misaligned during the trans install...
