Steve, thanks for the info.Another concern that I have regarding the system is washing the combustion chamber & robbing the rings from being lubricated; is this an issue with the 4g63 motor? I have new rings and I would like them to last a long time. Also is there a chance that water will...

Ok, where do I get a pump that is better?

I am in the process of upgrading this car and my next step is a reasonable FMIC (ebay), homemade 2.5" mandrel bent MIG welded IC pipes and an 40% alch /60% water injection setup to make way for high boost. I am following the DIY for this link...

No, I am putting a ST rear sway bar on the vehicle since the FWD has no true OEM rear sway.

Don't, I have spent more than $3000 on my conversion. Just don't...trust me SELL the nt & BUY a T AWD.why spend 2 months screaming and throwing wrenches at 2AM.just don't...

This is the cheapest place that I can find, Suspension Restoration Parts, Co.http://www.suspension.com/mitsubishi.htmThey have everything including the cheapest prothane kits and their shipping was Fast.and no I dodn't work for them but, hey how about a discount for this plug?

Ok... The problem with dropping the car is that KYB are a PIA about their warrenty. So what I did is I went with the H&R springs & KYB AGX set to 2 and 5 respectivly, & bought new KYB bump stops. I did not cut the bumps & this method drops 1 inch all the way around and KYB should honor their...

Ok, yes I know they are illegal in VA but, I am incredibly tired of every small hick town on 95 between NOVA and NC, viewing the interstate as a gravy train.I am not even a big time speeder, only 75 in a 65. But, after getting a few tickets that are an hour or more away and having to drive...

I already have my sheep skins, and I don't need to justify them. I already did that for 7 years.Also, turbines are usually serviceable without getting wet; examine how dams are built and you will see what I am talking about. Companies don't convert to new technology because they have already...

Writeoff elections are tax incentives given to choice industries that allow the business to take additional election in excess of the normal annual MACRS deduction.As far as courses go: These are offerings at VPI, thats Virginia Polytechnical Institute or commonly known as VATech:2014...

Ah yes, that is what they would like you to believe, it is too expensive. In fact it is an expensive capital investment, but there is virtually no variable cost; whereas a coal fired plant requires like 30 car of coal a day, and all the hydro does is sit there and make money. Of course, there...

The key is that I have to have a remote type setup, since I live in VA. ;)I think I might buy this Whistler 3450 Pro it is only $170, but I am still on the fence.Does anyone know a remote type that is better than this and in the same price range?I know that the Valintine is not in my...

What about the Whistler 3400 has anyone used this model??

yeah, Valintine makes one but it is $400 I am in the 300 to 350 range.Are these false alarms from the automatic doors on stores etc. or what?

Yes, they have been. Now how many tidal generators are feeding the US power grid??

If you are having heatsoak probs a H20 sprayer hooked to a solenoid in turn wired to a thermostat would do the trick.

I couldn't agree with you more regarding the viability of tidal flow hydroelectric plants. Just think if we could harness a third of the energy in the daily flow of the Chesapeake. This should give you an idea of the numbers:http://www.ccpo.odu.edu/~arnoldo/bay_entrance/bay_entrance.html...

I am going to buy a radar detector this month. I am looking for a detecor that is a grill mounted stealth detector with laser & radar.I have been looking at the Bel Vector 975 does anyone have experience with this model??I found it here for a good price...

HKS makes a BOV that does exactly this it has and adjustable upped threshold for boost pressure.

Defiant is correct.I definitely agree that smelting aluminum is an extremely dependent process. But, all or mills require a whole lot of energy including steel mills with the prevalence of electric coils as the heating elements. So we should exclude the fabrication process from the...

Yes, I have one in my turbo but, I have a 1G. My temps are at 206 deg steady.

!^3, here is a link I think you should look at.http://www.nlhs.com/tragedy.htmIt is about the effects of hydrogen in vehicles.And, I agree with you about a hybrid set-up being a Band Aid (Imagine that!??).The problem with electric is that you have to burn fuel somehow and the...

Yes, I was refering to the mitsu symbols on the stock gauges; they are ricey, period.

To prevent boost from going through the roof you could install an HKS blow off. This would be a good safety.

Yes, I got that. But, traditionally concept cars are built to determine market percptions of the concepts incorporated in the design. Hence, concept car. If the vehicle is recieved well then a morph of the vehicle is considered for production. This is were the cost accountants come in. Concept...

Truth...That is the same reason why I would never put a piece of Home Depot plumbing on my car.I have had mine for quite some time, I hope the same does not happen to me.Once again, sorry about your transmission.

You mean to tell me that the Prius is an attractive vehicle?? If I had to pick between the available hybrids I would pick this one, but that is just me. I admit that we are not tree huggers but, this would be an innovative attemp for Mitsu to attract a niche market. This would be advantageous...

That sucks about your transmission... But, I doubt that it was the boost controllers fault. People are running 30 psi with heavily moded engines on these transmissions. You must have had something else going on. A boost controller shouldn't be a dummy tool if your boost guage starts to go...

Ok, ok, I guess you are just looking for a pissing match :thumbdown . I would agree that the 3g is a waste of metal and rubber. And, yes i do understand Hp to weight ratio; if I don't, I shouldn't have gotten a degree in engineering. Hp to weight is why my other ride was a Ducati 900 SS. Also...

That is a whole lot of cash for a car with a blown valve...Other than that it seems to be a nice car the gauges are ricey as hell though.Did you ask him to do a wet & dry compression and make the numbers be part of the terms of sale?BTW I think your thread should be in the hang out...

I have one and it works just fine. I wired mine to the factory pow/econ switch and hooked up the POWER & ECONOMY lights in the dash cluster. With the dual boost set one for street and the second stage for your track psi and log both. Just follow the directions and you will be fine. REMEMBER...

Why would you think electric motors are a bad idea: 1) they are fuel efficient 2) electric motors put out a ridiculous amount of torque much better than a turbo since there is no lag in this case just run current through the motor and presto an instant 200 Hp. Remember the speed of electicity...

Maybe this will show my ignorance but, what is a galery brush and how should I attack the prob from the exhaust side or the intake?? I would like to get the port back to the factory flow level.

Here is another article I found on the test drive and a better galleryhttp://www.lasvegasmercury.com/2004/MERC-Sep-02-Thu-2004/24657628.htmlhttp://www.infomotori.com/a_36_IT_4809_8.html

I have already rebuilt my motor, and the head went to the machine shop to be rebuilt, and the car is back together. It has been fine for 10k miles. When I put the motor back together I made a EGR block off since at the time I thought that the plate would improve performance. However, after...

NyQuil07, when it was test driven did they do some kind of website on its performance, handling, etc?I too will see it at the DC auto show on Dec. 26.How about those 20" wheels? I think they are a little too large.Again, Does anyone know where I can get seats like the ones in this...

Look what Mitsu has been up to, I just found this article in Green Car Journal!http://www.greencar.com/index.cfm?content=features3This car kicks ass, I really want those seats for my car does anyone know where to get something like that?? I would buy this car in a heartbeat if it went to...

I don't want to do that bec I have installed the control arm already, and I just replaced the ball joints so I don't want to pickle my cherry ball joints.

What bearing press did you use and what size did you use to push it? I have the kit installed except for the front control arm bushing that was a son-of-a to remove so I left it and now I would like to finish the job.

Yes the trans will bolt up as long as the spline count on the input shaft is the same. However, the shim/dust cover between the trans and engine are different so unbolt them from the n/t engine and use them.It has been said though that the nt trans is not as strong as the turbo but I ran an...
