  1. where to buy syncro

    ATF4 is only used on the factory style stop ring becuase the factory stop rings have a fiber type friction material.Brass Stop rings have always required the use of Gear lube. In the summer you might run as heavy of a fluid as 140wt and in the winter we typically dropped to 90wt. In my...
  2. where to buy syncro

    1st and second gear you have to go aftermarket. you will have to buy a full synchro kit and i recommend replacing all of them becuase you will be getting Brass stop rings. At that point you will be running gear lube...no more ATF4 since it will no longer work well enough.3-5 are available...
  3. finally turboed !

    With 14lbs on the turbo you have......you ###### in the range of 280whp depending on the tune. With a poor tune it can be lower.14PSi you can use the factory timing map and that will help you. If 400Wheel is your goal....you want to set your aim for 22+ psi. Just food for thought.
  4. Rebuildin tranny.... ???

    Your referring to the Fork pads......I didnt consider those to be bushings. I still think round bearing like thing when i hear bushing. The fork pads hold up fine mark. I have pulled apart Transmissions with over 100k and the pads look like new.You need to replace the entire shift fork...
  5. Rebuildin tranny.... ???

    if your referring to the nylon bushing on the input shaft Mark, our tranny's dont have that. The 3.94:1 trans has a synchros stop ring for reverse gear. Its located on the opposite side of fifth gear and on the same slider. The 3.55:1 trans doesnt have this stop ring so they have a nylon...
  6. Walbro install problems

    You guys have your upstream and downstream backwards.Upstream is always towards the source. Your fuel pump is upstream from your inline fuel filter. The fuel filter is downstream from the fuel pump.
  7. My EGR Blocked setup with pics

    Your correct Paul. but see thats the point. At cruising, say on the highway or around town (in closed loop) the ECU opens the EGR and drops the pulsewidth to run lean. This saves fuel and increases MPG.Now take away the warm air, the ECU will run lean and see that their is an issue with...
  8. My EGR Blocked setup with pics

    Whatr he is trying to do is keep the dirty exhaust gas from entering the manifold but not trip a CEL. It will work but as stated above, the ECU alters the fuel pulsewidth expecting hot exhaust gas to enter the manifold. With cold air entering the fuel mixture will be inaccurate and in turn...
  9. Does 420a have same tranny as 4g63

    This guy doesnt know very much about the 70's era transmissions or frankly much at all about new FWD transmissions....the NVt350 isnt made by chrysler and the popular auto trans in the 70's was the 727 torqueflite and the manual was a 4 speed which was bulletproof. if you care to argue I can...
  10. Trans/Axle solution for 350-400whp

    The differentials are not weak. I dont understadn why people make statements saying our transmissions are weak. The only issue with our Diff is that is an open diff. LSD is better for traction. Thats all, period, finite.Get whatever year you want, as long as the trans is in good shape...
  11. Crank Pulley Removal...HELP!

    Tapping it out like post above is my first suggestion. If that doesnt work. Buy a cheap dent puller. The slide hammer type. Have someone weld the dent puller to the end of the extension and slide hammer it out. It will come out and you might find the threads are not damaged.Terry
  12. Confused on Idle issue

    I would have to scan the ECU to get an idea whats going on.You know that droppoing into neutral actuall uses MORE gas correct? When you let off the gas and decel, the ECU cuts 100% fuel meaning it stops feeding any fuel to the motor. When you step on the gas it resumes operation. The...
  13. Trans/Axle solution for 350-400whp

    Talk to someone who is acredited like Hahn Racecraft. Hahn ran a 3.55 trans from a 95 neon with a quaife and DSS axles and put over 500whp into it. Never had a trans fail on him.I have about 350-370 hp comming out of the motor and mine only have a retrofit and Stage 2 DSS axles. Whoever...
  14. Drivetrain whine, and slight grind?!

    The stop ring and the cone is all thats left out. The rest of the synchro assy (ie the slider and inner gear ect) is part of your 5th gear. Instead they leave out the stop ring and install a plastic spacer and a retaining band that clips into the inner gear that sits stationary on the shaft.
  15. I found a trans Viscious LSD?

    difference is the years. Some years got the weighted levers, some didnt. just like how the 95 casing was built stronger, there was a lot of additional webbing cast into the outer case.
  16. Drivetrain whine, and slight grind?!

    Reread my post regarding your question about the reverse brake.
  17. 420a motor swap questions?

    To my knowledge the AFX ecu was the only reprogrammed ECU and its no longer made/programmed. I dont think Howell still does it.Our cars have no limiter. In fact mine does 140 quite easily when i bought it. Dont ask why, it was to prove a stupid point.Terry
  18. I found a trans Viscious LSD?

    Sounds like you have a neon trans which would explain why it was cheaper. Neon did have different shift levers
  19. transmission has play in it back and forth

    Paul is right, I have rebuilt both the input and output shafts. The input shaft you can aquire parts from the dealer if you like. Since 5th gear is your main issue then it would be cheaper to do that. all gears require you to fully disassemble the cases and remove all equipment from them...
  20. Drivetrain whine, and slight grind?!

    Some info for discussion purpose(Depending on the year of the trans made)ALL gears are paper lined synchro stop ringsSome had a brass 1st and second stop ring.A master rebuild kit comes with all seals, outer shaft bearings, diff bearings, input seal/bearing, 1-5th synchro stop...
  21. What size injectors and other advice.

    A set of 780cc injectors will keep you busy into the 25-30 psi range. 550cc will max out aroun 18psi.
  22. What cams

    Crower 2's are real nice but you will need the crower springs. You are not required to run the titanium retainers though. My head had standard retainers with crower springs and Crower agreed it wouldnt be an issue. Car ran that way for a few years.Terry
  23. My southbend clutch

    Very common. The stock piece does come out as well on both stock clutches and spec clutches. Its just a pressed in plate that keeps dust ect out. It doesn actually center the input shaft, there is no Pilot Bearing in there. Very easy to remedy. Either leave it out or bend the lock tabs out...
  24. Piston ring end gap

    venolia pistons...top at .022 and second within stock specs.Terry
  25. 420A 2gNT gear select arm

    Ok your smaller lever moves up and down 1/8 inch.....there is a plastic clip that keeps the shaft where it needs to be. By lifting it up you disengaging the selector arm from the shifter fork selector. You need to pull that trans again and have it fixed or fix it. That problem will not just...
  26. I found a trans Viscious LSD?

    Viscous is not a company.
  27. Stock fuel filter

    neg input....I dont have the foggiest idea what your talking about.As for my regulator, yes it is in the feed line "T'ed" with the fuel rail. Thats done for a specific reason that is a moot point to your setup. Ideally the reg should be off the fuel rail but in my case the pressure of the...
  28. Stock fuel filter

    My personal opinion. The factory feed line makes a perfect fuel return line. The 95 return line is terrible for high volumn pumps. Steel line is unnecassary due to the fact it can be cumbersome to work with...use aluminum. Factory fuel filter....it will work and flow just fine. I use a...
  29. [RESOLVED] Need help identifying the turbo flange

    for a block bored .020 over, you should be usign a stock MLS gasket.
  30. E-Manage w/ MSD for ignition or Megasquirt MSnS

    No you do not need any additional tach adapters or such to input the crank signal into the MS. The 420a MS is just a run of the mill MSNS with mods for our crank signal and the mods to output a spark signal off the board.Terry
  31. transmission problems

    If 5th popped out on you then most likely in addition to any other damage, you will need to change out the slider and gear.Terry
  32. PCV Upgrade for Turbocharged 420As

    the 4G63 guys have issues witht he PCV often? Duplicating that design would have been my first choice. I have a few designs for a catch can that actually fits the design of our engine bays. A check valve would be nessasary and one breather as well to duplicate the vent on the VC that is...
  33. Boost -A- Spark

    Exactly. Its the most basic overlooked issue when these motors are turboed. Most people dont run more than 10 psi so its never really noticed. The same goes for the PCV system.Terry
  34. Boost -A- Spark

    Defiant, i have no idea what your talking about.This is the 420a section which is n/a motor (I know, you know that). The spark gap spec for this motor is .044. So naturally when people build a low compression motor they still run the 044 gap. you either need to install a more intense...
  35. Boost -A- Spark

    The inition gets weak in a 420a during high boost applications (15PSI +). We usually get away with sizing the gap down to .32 or .28.Terry
  36. I'm ecstatic. More stuttering of course..

    If your that low on gas then why are you questioning the studder. Seems quite obvious why.How does a Map sensor get gunked up from running rich? The only thing around the Map sensor inside the intake is air. The injectors are downstream and therefore do not affect the cleanliness of the...
  37. python injectors

    I had the 720cc python injectors and they are manufactured in the poorest of quality. One injector was so bad the fuel leaked between the top and bottom part of the injector. Buy a different injector from the link I posted in your other post.
  38. RX-7 injectors

    not the best deal IMO.Racetronix.com. Look up Siemens Deka, they have the correct spray pattern for our intake. Any size you want 50-60.00 each. 550cc are also available in high impedance too.Keep in mind, Siemens makes the injectors for accell as well. The post your quoted is for a set...
  39. Replaced Master and Slave Clutch Cylinder...still hard to shift

    Just because you bled the clutch does not mean all the air is out of the lines. To adjust the clutch, take a look under the dash, its pretty self explanatory.
  40. Replaced Master and Slave Clutch Cylinder...still hard to shift

    Bleed the clutch lines (they can be difficult, I recommend reverse bleeding) and adjust the pedal.
  41. How bad does timing have to be off for valves to tap?

    I have had my crank 3 teeth off and the valves were fine...just ran terrible
  42. Why you should have a flex section on your downpipe

    IF the Dump tube had anything to do with it, you would have cracked between the dump and turbo.
  43. Why you should have a flex section on your downpipe

    Randy, the dump tube is not the culprit here, its the flex section location. I have routed my dump tube liek that and when solid it cracked the same way. Once a flex section was added it was fine. The 3" I made is also fine with a flex section and the dump tube routed the same way.
  44. headlight warning beep

    at night when you open your door, do your interior lights come on? If not your door switch is bad. Thats why my talon buzzer never worked.Terry
  45. crank pulley removal

    you will need a 3 jaw puller to remove the crank pulley. Now in order you use the puller, you will need to leave the crank bolt in and threaded in by a few threads. This is to give the puller something to push against.You can also get a 3 jaw puller specifically for chrysler damners. The...
  46. V6 into DSMs [merged 12-17-06]

    The engine bay is slightly smaller in the eclipse. The guys and myself at Exile racing did some measuring and if you look closely at the core support of the avenger, you can see where the additional room is added. It will take a lot of work and when your done the gain wont be that great.To...
  47. microtech mt-4

    This is a new one for me, havent heard of it before. Doesnt it have a utility to create a Map based on Engine data? Most aftermarket EFI's do.Terry
  48. MLS Permatorque Leaking

    The copper spray for MLS gaskets is not a sealant, its to reduce poor heat transfer between 2 metal surfaces. If you do not use the spray, the gasket WILL NOT be prone to leaking.The leakign gasket described above could be due to a few reasons as Paul was leading up to. If the factory...
  49. Wow! Prothane Motor Mount Install!!

    Yes, you deffinitly have more vibration.
  50. Boost leak test, air coming from cylinder

    54 is ok.Your saying it dropped slowly to 30 psi and held fine? That sounds like pressure leaking at the vise grips. When pinched off tightly so no fuel can squeeze past, the pressure should not drop at all. Did you retest a couple times to make sure the test results were consistant...
