Another reason why I feel the turbo blocks are superior, are the squirters. I have heard of people getting rid of them, due to "not needing them" with forged internals, however I disagree with this. Mitsubishi put them in for a reason, and properly functioning squirters are helping. Of course, a...

Nice, Donnie. Are you running a composite gasket with the o-ring setup? Edit, read the profile, you are on the Felpro Composite. I was considering having my next block o-ringed, not sure if I should do it or just run an MLS/L19s and rock out.

Precisely the reason I won't build one. It's hard enough to find a good 88mm stroke crank that isn't trash and hasn't been turned. Call me stubborn, I like to stick to what is tried and true, and what has been proven to work time and time again. The whole reason I got into these cars is that the...

Stroke, de-stroke, short rod, long rod, ect. ect. Point is not a 63 block and 63 crank. Kevin is god, and is probably paying enough for the proper parts and machine work to make his setup work. He also runs a head he made to run Evolution IX MIVEC VVT setup, don't mean it's for everyone.

This. I told him numerous times but Jesse insists on buildng a high dollar unreliable engine that won't rev for #### and breaks more shit. BTW Jesse, if you really are doing the stroker shit, you really need to invest in a fluiddampner.

Did you deburr the gears before assembly? What did you pack the pump with during assembly?

Start looking in junkyard Hyundais.

Hola, Roberto. Bienvenidos! I thought European spec. 2gs came with 4G63 non turbo engines? Was your car made for American market?

Sorry if I missed it, is this car running on gasoline?Edit: went to Larry's profile, and it says he's on Ethanol. Larry, what are your 1150's IDC's looking like on your setup with this turbo right now?

This thread is precisely why I hate being associated with these cars, the owners are idiots. As said before, the quality of people in this scene has taken a nose dive the last few years. I used to think Honda guys were bad back in the day, now I think DSM guys are the worst. I hate to say it...

I was thinking the same thing about 2gs.

Jesus, OP wanted a legit discussion on what was a better car between three choices, when 90% of posters here are DSM and AWD fanbois? Wasn't going to happen here, obviously.The orignial question was kind of confusing though, AWD should not be part of the equation since neither the SRT nor...

This last few years having worked on and seen a bunch of these cars (from all over the country, mind you) has really woken me up to how hard it is to find a good one. They are not rare cars by any means, but the 1g (and 2g for that matter) are now on the same tier with fox body Mustangs: you can...

Drunk,There isn't anything wrong with opinions. Everybody has them, I have quite a few of them myself, hahaha.I have said many times to many people, these cars (and sport compacts/tuners/imports in general) are NOT for everyone. It's an expensive hobby, and can be very expensive when you...

Ok, as far as "tuners" go, here is the problem:A person who "tunes" your car probably has the worst job in the world. If you bring your car in to swap a transmission, or rebuild an engine, they have a pretty straightforward job. Either it's done right, or it's done wrong, and it's pretty...

You'd have to be moving a shit ton of air to get blowout, not going to happen on a 16g even with the wg line pulled off. They need to be at .28. If the car ran good after Phuong went through it, id suspect it would not be a fuel breakup but something ignition related. Check the wires, and the...

OMG, yeah, there is like another 12MPH for improvement, lmfao! Those are 14b on pump gas times! What plugs are you on, and what are they gapped to?

Blue is heat. Alot of heat. If you don't think that you have abused it, and assuming it was installed correctly, the only other thing I could think of is improper adjustment on the hydraulic system? How did it shift when it was in the vehicle? Are your clutch master and slave working properly...

Slipping the clutch out to 4000RPM isn't helping the clutch, it's killing it. Dumping the clutch is bad for the transmission, not the clutch. Are the flywheel and pressure plate mating surfaces blue? Some good high res pictures of this will help alot.Do you have any other modification to the...

If you look at the oil pump side of the oil pan, 6 bolt pans have a "hump". 7 bolt pans are flatter on this portion of the pan.

Granted, you have a 420A, so this may apply to you. I'm not cracking, but in my opinion, with a 4G63 this is not the case.People are sheep. "Hurr Durr, nitrous bad! GT35R and supporting mods guud!" Why is 100hp worth of spray going to send parts flying out, but running a 16g, 50 trim ect...

I need one ASAP, willing to drive to pick it up. shoot me a pm or post back!!!

I'll pitch in for fuel. If it's a 2.5 it should sip that shit. :cool:

Hahaha, 420A of fury! If you want man, we can roll together, you pick, slow Honda with 1.8 POWAH or 420A so we can still park next to our DSM homies. :) We will get more street cred and ricer points in the Honduh though.

Uh oh, Series 7? Hard huh? That reminds me of that movie Boiler Room, one of my favorites!:hellyeah:I asked him if he wanted me to pull it, pending if he wants to either not have me do it or something comes up, I will probably be pulling it as of Tuesday. If that flexplate shit the bed and is...

PM Sent.

I'm going, but I don't think I'd ever beat on my shitbox at the dragstrip. Stupid AWD and garbage transmissions....

But what track? Firebird? Lets go to this.

What the hell is import vs. domestic?

Yeah, they were. All 2gs 95-99.:cry:

Honda guys are just as bad as DSM guys nowadays. For every clapped out EG hatch some guy thinks is worth a million bucks, I'll show you a clapped out 1g or 2g, possibly not running, who thinks it's worth a million bucks.

I actually like that meet, you guys had 3SI and Starion guys there. Hell I saw an old Mitsu box van in one of those pictures! That almost looks like the Mitsubishi Owners Day they have in California.

Thanks man. Yeah, it's still a POS, but at least after I put it all back together I can park it outside and not bring the property value down in the neighborhood. ROFLMe too, lol.

Look at some of the turnout we have had in the Southeast. I miss these, it's awesome when you actually know most of those people too! Thats how sweet the scene was in FL/GA/SC. I missed this last past one because I have been here. :(...

Here were some snaps as some of the loose body panels were shot with paint, and some body work continued on the car.So my beater is pretty much painted. I still am assembling it, but I also had to pull the turbo and replace my cracked 02 housing with a stainless Slowboy piece, so...

Here are some old pictures of fun times with the Orange Park/Jacksonville DSM crew.Kyle's 1g was beating up on Evos with 35Rs and nasty bolt ons back then:Road Trips to SC to buy sketchy GVR4 shells: Family in Charleston is fun, even more when they are getting into DSM trouble of their...

So in a few years, my 1g had gone from this:To this:It was time to get my shit together. It wasn't going to be pretty, but unlike my last bout with the car, I was determined to make it move, that is, without ####ed up break up issues and BS. Armed with a bit more knowledge about what...

I put this on another DSM forum, but thought I'd put it up here for myself just in case the other wasn't around in a few years, and I wanted to look back. :)Hello,Some of you may know me, I'm JaxTalonTurbo aka Paul, and I used to be part of the DSM group in Charleston, SC and...

The lateral arms are easy to replace, but do you know there is a lifetime recall for those arms/joints on all 2gs? Call service and ask them to run the VIN of the vehicle and see if the recall has been performed before. My 1996 TSi had not had the recall done as of 08/09, I called the dealer...

Damn, I was just talking to Yiddie today about the ball joint recall! Man that sucks, sorry to hear it.I'm always messing around with my clapbox, your more than welcome to come by anytime and shoot the shit. I'd like to plan a good Phoenix DSM/Evolution meet here this spring with a real...

Don't forget to wipe down that blue belt I dirtied. :)

My old ass was tired by 7ish, I could of kept going but I'd rather work in more optimal conditions. Im down to do it whenever man, Monday or Tuesday is cool with me. We will be there tomorrow too if for some reason you want to drop by. Otherwise shoot me a PM what time on Monday or Tuesday you...

Well, what do you know, there are some cool as DSMers in Phoenix/Avondale/Glendale! And a good bit of them came out of the woodwork to shoot the shit at my pad, and watch us get nothing done, LMFAO. What started off as a possible disaster (took forever to get car here thanks to me and Jesse)...

They may. You need the one with the red stripe through it?

I tried shooting you a call, but I guess your gf answered or something. I know you said you need something right away, but there is a complete 7 bolt longblock at Ecology junkyard on Broadway. I was just there the other day. I don't know what the status was, but the chances of a walked crank are...

I know, and whats cool is my piece of shit doesn't even have to run or move to make an appearance!:rocks:

LMFAO yeah guys we are going to start early but it's not like you guys got to be there at the crack o' dawn. BTW, anybody who has a spare compression tester and or/leakdown tester feel free to bring it, I can't find mine, must have lost it in the move.

How would that work? The back side of the turbo's center cartridge has a little "j" pipe which has a hose that goes to the tstat housing. I suppose this would be the "feed". The front of the turbo is the only part that connects to the crossover pipe, with that "U" pipe that crosses under. The...

I don't like buying critical hard engine parts used. Pistons, rods, cams ect. Unless I am buying them from a friend, and or I know the history of where the parts came from, and weather or not that engine died of some catastrophic failure.I've seen alot of sketchy cam lobes, scored and screwed...

I run the non turbo water crossover pipe. I find it easier to use than trying to plug the old lower port where the "U" pipe would go to the turbo, not to mention is more reliable this way. I am currently running a PTE 50 trim, but I ran an Evo III 16g @ 30lbs for over a year with no coolant, no...
