    Transmission blown... Again...

    It's the second gear, two teeth are chipped off.Previous breakage was 2nd gear as well, that time it was only one tooth.Are there any alternatives that can be used to avoid this in future?

    Transmission blown... Again...

    It has Quaife LSD inside, which helps a lot overall. But still, I do get wheelhop on damp surfaces.I will post back with what hat happened when the tranny is open.

    Transmission blown... Again...

    Mounts usually help a whole lot, but as it stands I have 2x full poly mounts and 2x inserts IIRC. The poly kit.This has almost removed the dry surface wheelhop, but in a damp weather the pesky jumping still persists :(

    Transmission blown... Again...

    Does anyone know which symptoms I should check in the tranny tomorrow? To figure out what might be the cause.Or is it simply a wheelhop? :rolleyes:

    Transmission blown... Again...

    The tranny will be opened tomorrow. No idea what's inside right now...What are the preload values then? As far as I know Shep and John uses higher than OEM, no?

    Transmission blown... Again...

    The fluid is something dealers use for Evos, Castrol MT something, I need to look it up.Fluid availability is pretty bad here.Concerning repairs, the guy who does this have been rebuilding Mitsu trannies for a very long time, 10+ years, so I have little reason to doubt. Moreover, I don't...

    Transmission blown... Again...

    Probably around 280 hp at crank...First was OEM tranny, the second is a rebuild, double syncs, forks, Quaife and stuff, which was later rebuilt here locally too.I am driving it pretty hard, but still... It's not like it's 500hp on wheels and on slicks...

    Transmission blown... Again...

    I can no longer stand it... It's pathetic, it's the 6th time the transmission on my FWD DSM needs a rebuild :cry:First was the OEM diff which exploded into pieces. Next the intermediate shaft exploded ruining almost everything inside the gearbox.Got a new gearbox, it needed bearing...

    Is it possible to find 2G AWD nowadays?

    Is it normal for AWD MT to cost around 12000 USD? :confused:

    Is it possible to find 2G AWD nowadays?

    I will have to find a car in Mitchigan area, which I'm later going to ship to Europe.

    Is it possible to find 2G AWD nowadays?

    I will have to find a second car soon, and I would really like to get a 2G AWD, preferably with plastic ECU already, so 98-99 is highly preffered.It absolutely has to be MT, and Turbo, preferably unmodded.Do such cars exist at all nowadays? What is the going price? How difficult it is to...

    TD05H 14b rebuild, advice necessary

    If I could get them at that price range in Latvia, I would buy 2.I have already spent ~220$+ for the turbo, and it still needs a rebuild. :(

    TD05H 14b rebuild, advice necessary

    Ok, since this is a daily driver, funny I know, I will probably order the repair kit only for now. I hope the compressor wheel is intact.What are the problems if bad wheel is reused? Disbalance when spinning and turbo eating itself in a few days? It seems that wheels are only around 40$ a piece?
  14. _Madman_

    TD05H 14b rebuild, advice necessary

    I have no idea if it's coming from the turbo. The freeplay was smaller that that I had on t25, but t25 never made any noise.Are the wheels discardable if they have touched the housing? These turbos are really rare in our country.

    TD05H 14b rebuild, advice necessary

    I recently swapped on a used 14b.It had a cracked hotside that I swapped to made in China 16g. The wastegate hole had to be ported, but otherwise the turbo is working.The problem is, that it has some in-out play, and now it seems that it's also leaking oil, which is noticeable at the...

    Need help setting up the 14b

    Today all 14b and fuel bolt-ons have finally been completed on my car, and I was spending half the day trying to set up the base boost pressure.After loosing a lot of time with MBC, which seemed to glitch at first, but started working later. I finally managed to get some logs, and realize that...

    Swapped in 14b, how much more will it take to get into 13s?

    I don't know if it's the point where turbo dies down, or where the shift will throw you back into best power band.I have seen all sorts of talks, but I have no idea whats the right way. Aside from fact it's definitely not the Fast and Furious style, redlining every gear :hellyeah:For T25...

    Swapped in 14b, how much more will it take to get into 13s?

    I use 215/45R17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 up front, which seem to be pretty sticky. At least car doesn't spin in 2nd gear at all, it's all foot down once out of 1st.In 1st I do have to keep it under control all the time... I can launch at around 2500-3000RPMs without too much wheel...

    Swapped in 14b, how much more will it take to get into 13s?

    I have no idea how to improve the 60' time...I already have the Quaife, which helps a lot, and I only loose like a half car length to RWD cars, but anything more and it spins :(Or do I have to spin it in 1st? I try to minimize the spinning to a few feet max.

    Swapped in 14b, how much more will it take to get into 13s?

    No idea, the track we use is only 1/8mi, and they don't have 60' time measurement.But I guess it's around 2.2 - 2.5, like for all FWD DSMs.That would take 8 sec 1/8 mi times flat... Guys with AWD and 16G cannot reach that here...Sorry for me sounding so pessimistic, but after all the...

    Swapped in 14b, how much more will it take to get into 13s?

    I've been running my car with all the current mods minus 14b and minus FPR/Walbro for some time, and the best 1/8mi times I was able to get was 9.5@79mph. With 1.52 multiplier for 1/4mi, which seems to be the average multiplier for 13.5-14.5 FWD cars, the results should be around 14.44 1/4mi...

    Bad clearance issues with 14B, FP intake and J-pipe

    No, it looks exactly the same, although that Injen pipe is a LOT smaller, helps a lot as I see.

    Bad clearance issues with 14B, FP intake and J-pipe

    I'm currently doing an upgrade for my car, and I've ran into an issue with J-pipe. The kit I ordered from extremepsi seems to be too large for the car...Does anyone know clean way how to solve the issue by creating custom LICP, swapping fans or moving/using the overflow can from another car...

    14b in/out play, how bad is bad

    I recently found a used 14b, but it has some in/out play. I'm about to put this turbo on a car, as repair kits will take a long time till they ship. However, I'm wondering if it's a good idea.I searched and found that in/out play should be pretty much absent, and if it's too bad, I should...

    Is A Built 1G 7Bolt good as a Built 1G 6Bolt?

    Well, a lot of high mileage 7-bolts have walked here, but we are talking about 100 000 miles and upwards.Compared to how often you need to swap blown gearboxes, crank-walk is a non-issue, IMHO. Even more, it's not even that expansive to repair crank-walk once every 60 000 miles or even after...

    What could be the cause of the mid RPM knock?

    I thought the fuel trims are used only in closed loop operation? Is it the LTFT I should be looking at? The STFT looks very similar to the LTFT graph below. Seems that LTFT is derived from STFT, and it flattens out on acceleration run.Oh, I see. Is there a rule of thumb when setting up the...

    What could be the cause of the mid RPM knock?

    I did a 3rd gear pull to see if all fuel upgrades are working ok on my car, and I noticed that there is some weird knocking going on at mid RPMs, and sometimes even mid throttle.The log is done on a car with all the mods in profile, and T25 turbo at around 16psi.P.S. Concerning logging...

    Can cracked 14b hot side housing be salvaged?

    I recently brought a 14b, but turns out the hot-side housing near waste-gate flapper is cracked enough that you can see light through the cracks.I want to get the car to drivable condition as soon as possible, and I'm not sure what to do.Can I use the cracked housing, weld it? I can also get...

    EVOscan Is it necessary to tune to 80% IDC max?

    Yes, but the overhead multiplier is around ~1.6, which results in ~320$, still a lot less than 400$+

    Any advice on how to fix whole clutch system correctly?

    So it seems I have a classic case of pedal "pump up" on my car, the problem was described in this topic [http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/408067-hard-impossible-shift-3-4-5-after-prolonged-highway-driving.html] and after going 250 more km, it's now worse.
