    General 1g cam angle sensor on FuelTech

    I would not run any stand alone with a stock cas. They do not deal with the timing scatter and the low resolution cas well.

    420A ITB Information & Interest Thread

    I have thought about doing ITB's on my car, but honestly IDK if it's a good move. Intake at the rear that's a hot low pressure zone, not good for power. Unless you are going to put a scoop and an air box on it. I had planned on doing a slide valve. A butterfly gets in the way of the air...

    Are These Throtl Guys legit? Has anyone ever bought from them?

    The og type low impedance 1200s are rock solid reliability, pump gravel through them and they still work. The small high impedance stuff seems like every someone has one stick open or shut or burn a motor down from them.Also...

    Any cnc guys up for making a new dsm axle puller?

    O'reallys has a tool kinda like this. check that out and see if it will work. I don't have any auto's and any auto trans that cross my path go straight to crusher so none to look at here. Even on manual trans it can be a pain to get them out on occasion. I had a parts store one that was...

    Any cnc guys up for making a new dsm axle puller?

    On an auto it can be a SOB. The cup is down in a hole and you can't use a prybar. The oe auto cups had an extra nub on them further out to pry on.

    How to fix your clutch that won't release.

    Yeah, the 3kgt is like 0.700" or 0.625" I actually have one on my all motor car right now as a "quick fix" It's got an OE mitsu PP and an ACT disc, and it wasn't happy shifting at 10K. The 3k slave works ok with the light pressure plate, but isn't ideal.When you start cranking up the...

    How to fix your clutch that won't release.

    Over the years I've done a lot of testing with these cars. I've probably spent more money on testing clutches than an average build costs. - Not bragging, just saying I've tried a lot of stuff. One thing that sticks out, is virtually all performance clutches require more throw out bearing...

    1G Early 91 3/4 hub slider in late 91+ Trans

    Need a close up of the gears to confirm the profile, but based on your typings, you can't. Mid 91 is the border you can't cross with 3/4 parts. 3,4,intermediate shaft, and center diff has to stay in a set across that border. Late 91 to early 93 3/4 will be compatible with your intermediate...

    Manley H Beams Vs Eagle H Beams

    From the eagles and manleys I've had here the manleys have a thicker beam. The must have less meat around the big end then if they are 25 grams lighter. I went high 10's on my eagles back in the day. Made enough torque to break a wiseco wrist pin with them.

    1g windshield canada

    I wouldn't count on that until you have it in your hands. From what I learned this summer there was only 1 place making these windshields, and it was in china and they didn't fit good. Anyway, they discontinued them - there will be no more new windshields. Anything out there is existing...

    Awdmonster drag car

    Don't take this the wrong way, but you are tearing up a lot of stuff for the power you make. My street car traps 112-114 in the 1/8 on truck stop E85 and the motor is virtually trouble free. I think you need to back her down a little bit and get a solid baseline established and make sure...

    1G In need of help to identify ACT clutch plate please and thank you!

    It's at least a 2600 MB010X as it has the reinforcement welded into the top of it. Beyond that hard to tell. If it's a 2900 or a 3200 good luck making it work. You can have someone with a press and a good gauge compress it and see. Use a dial indicator to meausre the deflection and record...

    1G Couple noob-tastic 5 spd questions

    The transmission input shaft is required to be within 0.01" of concentric of the crankshaft. If it is not the flywheel and clutch start to "orbit" around the input shaft. It will make the disc try to move side to side on the flywheel till it self clearances itself. End result is poor...

    Altered Mental Status(1G AWD 5spd)

    If it spins buttery smooth, it likely has no preload and needs service. It ought to have ~20in/lbs of rotational drag. Other than that there really isn't a way to tell without taking it apart. If it's a fresh rebuild it should have enough assembly lube on it you could drive for miles before it...

    1G Welded Center Diff FWD Questions

    Yes. Put the bottom gear in without the thrust washer, and use a bolt/nut to hold it down and a big millermatic 250 set on burn this f***er down and have at it. Fill 'er in. I usually tack a few spots first which gets some heat in it, then burn it in good. I wrap in a welding blanket after...

    1G Welded Center Diff FWD Questions

    Holy shit 10/10 destruction! But yes weld that bi*** and send it. If you are going to keep running it FWD, find a 2g fwd trans. They have closer ratios and drive off 4th gear so it should last longer.

    1G 1990 W5M33 bearing replacement

    Make sure you have the right input race/bearing combo. There are two distinct ones, and the cup/cone is not compatible at all. If you try to mix/match it can do stuff like this.Also make sure this isn't a trans previously done by another builder, I've seen some stuff out there. A few...

    2G First Transmission Build! Screwed it up already!

    I don't down shift mine unless i'm crawling and yep that looks like it's been remachined allready. Weird tool path. There was some guy doing them. I think Tim knows who. I'm going to be tooling up to re cut mine soon enough, probably has another season left if I don't screw up.

    Center differentials in 2023.

    The stock cross shaft is terrible, especially when cut down to use 4 spiders. The peak stress in the drive pins is way more than the expected 2x increase from half the load points. bad, bad.

    Center differentials in 2023.

    I've never been a fan of the way most others do 4 spider center differentials. The floating cross shaft is a poor idea, adding 2 more spider gears barely helps. The cross shaft is allowed to turn in the housing, while the gear is held flat against the out side. End effect is the shaft becomes...

    Bigger stronger w5m33 gears?

    It seems odd that they keep putting such a short window in for these. What was the deposit window open for like 3 days? strange. I hope it works out well, and I hope you all can find a shop to assemble them for you.

    Broken 3/4 shift rail ends..

    Not on these so much, there are stops built into the cases that work good.The trouble with these is the cast steel part with a very thin cross section. Mitsubishi knew it was a problem as they updated them in late 1991, and the Evos (rally race car) got a very strong forged steel end with...

    Broken 3/4 shift rail ends..

    I've broken quite a few over the years, and the ones in the early transmissions were especially weak. Broke one in my dogbox which I figured out after the fact could have been bad, as you can get a dogbox in 2 gears at the same time then pretty easy. Anyway I finally finished up a few billet...

    Comp Turbo CT4RX Hubless Turbos, Anyone?

    Oh man if you guys only knew the backstory on some of all this. Comp is like 5 years late to this party. There was/is a big patent lawsuit on the hubless technology. I'm guessing by how many places have it, the lawsuit went poorly for the patent holder. The hubless shit works though, did...

    Holset turbos in 2023

    Idk, never wanted to contaminate my car with that stuff. I would say it came on pretty quick for a 700whp setup, i made it laggier to kill some torque and try to keep the trans happier. The HY35 was a lot more responsive, but ya know 100whp less. Packages way easier too. I ran both on a...

    Holset turbos in 2023

    My he351 went 9s back in 2017 in a 3300lb DSM. Don't see much else going that fast with a 60mm inducer in a heavy car. I'd like to try a new pte or 62 just to see how they compare power wise.

    Group buy: Stronger 5 speed gears!

    I think the price for what is promissed is not bad. I don't think they will be able to hit that target really. At the end of they day though it's just too much $$ for 99/100 dsmers.

    Group buy: Stronger 5 speed gears!

    That's gonna be hard to do. That's a lot of money to float out there for a year on an unknown and then at best deal with tire kickers. At worst the set is a bust and there are problems and then the finger pointing begins. As one of the few remaining places that specialize in building these...

    General How are people feeding VSS to aftermarket ECUs in a 1g car?

    Interrupt means exactly that. They basically are for time critical stuff that needs to happen within a couple clock cycles or so. For example a very basic explanation of like the CAS interrupt, When the TDC signal goes high or low the ECU stops what it's doing and runs to the TDC interrupt...

    General How are people feeding VSS to aftermarket ECUs in a 1g car?

    the reed switch in the cluster works great for me. Super stable. Resolution at low speeds isn't super. The crapy logged signal is just because the stock ecu doesn't read that with an interrupt so it's not a good meausre.

    1G Stuck in gear? shift fork?

    On a 1g with the correct parts and correctly adjusted that is not really true. The case has stops for the rail built into it which keep the fork from over traveling. When it's right the detent balls pull the rail up against the stops, and your shifter should be adjusted so that it is against...

    Yes. It's been 20yrs since I did mine so it's a little rusty. You'll have to check the wiring diagrams out in the FSM and see what's the deal, but IIRC theres something in the shifter or tcm that gets unplugged and doesn't let the cruise come on. like a switch to turn cruise off if you bump...

    1G 1g Wiring Harness

    That's not really right. For the most part the ECU and turbo don't really care about the compression. What all that will really care about is the n/t 190cc injectors and maf that will overrun at about 15lbs/min.Steve is the man when it comes to the 90 stuff. His info is 99.9% rock...
