i would have submitted a bunch of pictures like i try to do every year. however, the rules keep me from submitting anything. for one, i don't have any pictures of my car that are worth submitting and i can't submit pictures of other people's cars. the other reason is that all the pictures i have...
that engine looks like some vq variant... damn sexy!i also do not care for the front end... they diverted from the old R-chassis cars too much with this new front end styling.frickin sweet car regardless of what it looks like!
thanks for the compliments guys. i was very happy with my pictures this year. 99% of them turned out really good or great. it's just a little nikon p.o.s., but it gets the job done.i uploaded a few more pictures to my photobucket album that i missed yesterday. so make sure you go back and...
i know how anal we all are about resizing pictures. i'm not going to take the time to do it, so you'll just have to trust that i have some sweet pictures at the following link:http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/fat_kid_racing/15th%20dsm%20shootout/i have full size pictures of...
DSMtuners is my roots, man!this is the first web forum i was ever on. now i'm on... 10 or more regularly.i all ready scored a 2g throttle body elbow, though. thanks.
teh boxxxx man is referring to me.i have 5 blocks in my basement. 1-g4cs, 1 7-bolt 4g64, 2 6-bolt 4g63-t's, and 1 6 4g63-nt. i'll be putting another 6-bolt 4g63-t in there shortly (new project motor).
danny B, they look just fine. thanks. don't worry about doing those 2g wheels again, i think in the gold, i'm liking the split spokes way better.this thread has been dormant for a while, and have since added another option. the 2g 3kgt base wheels (7-spoke). i think they'd be better from a...
ok, ok, ok. i've read both threads. i had the same problem when i rebuilt my engine this last time. sounds like you've got a deisle 4g63. i finally found my problem after one of the wiser DSMers pointed it out to me. the timing marker between the crank sprockets IS NOT SYMETRICAL. you need to...
leaky caps usually = trashed ecu in my experience. sorry. that's why you're supposed to replace them before they leak. of course, it CAN be repaired. however, the question is: will the cost of repair be less than the cost of buying a used ecu with new caps? probably not.check the...
you can't just look at the wheel and see the offset. i tried searching for the offset on those wheels without much luck (didn't spend a lot of time though).you need to measure that clearance. if you have an inch with that wheel on there, it's going to be really close because the width of...
here's a tire calculator:http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dosi use that pretty often. it give you a good idea of what to expect. but it's a good idea to take some measurements and do the math yourself when it comes time to commit to the buy.here's a link that helps...
5 to come on and comment that there are too many pages to read and skipped everything that's not the first and last page. they can be found on pages 5, 6, 6 1/2, 8 and 11.
hey everyone. i'm looking for some gold/bronze oem 2g/3g wheels on a white 1ga. possibly with a polished lip, but i'm not sure. let me spell it out: i'd like to take the 5-spoke 2g wheels or the 10 spoke (5 split spoke) 3g wheels and paint them gold/bronze and maybe polish the lip. i'm just...
the coils are interchangeable. you need to pretty much dissasemble the entire pack though. i had to do this on my 90 laser. it took a few minutes, but i had a working coil pack. it should be pretty self-explanitory once you start looking at them side by side and taking them apart.consider...
i found it. this hood looks green. it's a yellow kevlar/carbon hood.the weave doesn't help. you can see that when the yellow overlaps the black, the black shows through a little.you can definitely tell that there is yellow and black when you look at the weave, but on the car, it...
no, that doesn't look green...last time i saw the yellow/black, it looked green. i know i can find it but it might be later. i'd like to see the weave on that hood. it doesn't look too bad. that hood might also have a thin layer of yellow paint to help it look more yellow - i've seen that...
word. in my opinion, it'll only look good on neutral colors (black, white, greys), and dark red cars (wine, maroon, etc.).that small picture in the corner sure looks like regular red kevlar to me... even if it is brighter red, it's still going to have the blending effect. the weave is just...
you've got to think of it like an impressionist dot painting. your eye blends the colors of the dots (or in this case the red and black squares) to form the combination color you see when you're not real close. when you're real close, you can see red and black, however, if you're standing more...
the only large connectors involved on the left side are A) your speedometer cluster connectors and B) your diagnostic/fuse ports. if what i remember is correct, those are all the same and shouldn't be an issue when you do the swap.as far as the vin tag issue - another option you might have...
as far as i know, everything will swap over just fine. if you want to avoid the confusion and the hassle, just use all of the accessories and switches and controls from your 1ga. also remember that there's no switch for flip-ups on a dash from a 1gb, however, the spot for them is there. all of...
did you check the new ecu to make sure it was good? sounds to me like you got a bad ecu. pop it open and look for leaky caps. just because some meat head at a boneyard pulled it out of a running car 5 years ago doesn't mean it's still going to work. the caps leak from duration of their life, not...
yes, my guess is you spun a bearing and have been driving it too long. this would cause the bearing surface to wear away. do you have metal shavings in your oil? i'm betting the answer is going to be yes.pictures would be great.if you did damage your engine like i suspect, you're...
i agree, the cost of rally > than i can afford right now... but i'm sure as hell going to give it my best shot.now would be a good time for you to go out and try to get some more/new/better sponsors lined up. you could take advantage of this news and use it as incentive. you're fortunate...

the best i've used is the original shop manual. i've used chilton's and hayne's manuals as well and found chiltons's to be helpful, and hayne's to be about useless. i think someone was making a video on rebuilding a 4g63. i think if you search "building 4g63 in 10 minutes" will yield a good...
buy a cheap beater car that's good on gas. i had to rebuild two 4g63's while i was in college because i wanted to have a DSM - not a good idea. i bought a geo prizm my senior year and was kicking myself for not buying one sooner. i have no desire whatsoever to modify it - other than free ricey...
the engine i got with my turbo laser had a b/s bearing failure. had i not been creative, my block could have been considered "torn up beyond repair". here's what i did:my rear, center b/s bearing was the culprit on this block. i wanted to do the b/s elimination anyway so i wasn't too...
yeah, definately a 4g63. yes, the round thing is the CAS (lol - it's ok).what 19eclipse90 said about the conection for the coil pack is correct. from your original post, it seems like everything is matching up. it should work. i'm having trouble following everything that's going on in this...
if you're thinking about running any cams over stock, most vendors/shops/manufacturers are going to recomend that you upgrade your valvetrain - at the very least your springs and retainers.272's are pretty agressive. unless you drive like your grandmother, you want to upgrade your valve...
i didn't know that the 4g63 ever had a distributor... maybe because it never did or maybe because i've never seen or heard of one.there should be a code on the block somewhere. hopefully you can find it. if it's a sirius engine, it should be on the front right of the block on an angled flat...
http://vfaq.com/mods/balance-shafts.htmlprint that off, give it to whoever is building your engine and tell them to follow the instructions. if they can't do that, find another shop. i've had a b/s belt failure (with a brand new belt) and a friend of mine had a b/s bearing failure (with new...
i got it from doing a little bit of research... did i say something that wasn't true? maybe it was one of these two statements:i said mbc's are more reliable - you set it, it stays. you don't have to worry about glitches or goofy programming or other electrical issues. a lot of dsm's have...
manual boost controllers (mbc) are directly adjusted by you while you're outside the car with the hood open (typically). they're usually much less expensive and more reliable.electronic boost controllers (ebc) can are remotely and electronically adjusted from inside the car (typically). they...
stock is inexpensive and efficient.

no other DSM transmissions are compatable with your vehicle. the engine in your car is a 420a. it was only found in the n/t 2g's. some neons had a 420a (and probably some other chrysler vehicles), but i'm not sure that they're interchangeable. all of the turbo DSM's and the n/t 2.0 DSM's have...
1g's (and their parts) are cheaper and easier to find.2g's are heavier.most people wouldn't feel as guilty wrapping a 1g around a tree.just my opinion.
