I just cracked 2 of these. I'm flaming, I guess it's because I got in a rush to take it to the track tomorrow. I believe mine cracked because I tried to use the wrong gasket because all the parts stores were closed. Hopefully I can find a NT one tomorrow so I dont have to reweld the turbo...

Ouch, your gonna need some duct tape for that one.

Just turbo your v6. They can throw down some decent power too. I'm helping my friend with his 3.0 out of his newer sebring which is basically the same. We made up all the pipes and used external wastegate. He got a to4e for some reason off of ebay. It's not the turbo I would have chosen for...

Oh ok :coy: I get confused easily

Ah I guess I may have read wrong. I thought the book said you needed to unplug and only ground the timing plug while doing timing. I thought it said that grounding the data plug would cause it to go into idle adjustment mode.

Honestly I got angry after buying the car. The only thing said to be wrong with it was the water pump. I sent the guy money. Went and picked it up and trailered it home. When I got home found wires not hooked up all over the engine bay. Vacuum lines cut and or missing. The rear diff was...

I guess I was wrong I had it backwards. My bov is tapped in at the tb while my boost control is at the turbo outlet elbow. Is this ok? Im installing a new turbo tomorrow so I really dont want it to damage it. It's tapped to the bottom vacuum connector on the side of my 90's tb. I've been...

Lemme go double check I thought thats where I had it but I'll check quick

I believe that is where I tapped in, I removed my egr valve so that must be where I put it.

Well I'd assume it's not phantom knock because it goes away with race gas. I had phantom knock that used to do it even while crusing or under a little exceleration. This knock only happens under boost.Another wierd thing I saw on the logger today was that while crusing it stayed at 24...

I have my bov tapped to my turbo outlet elbow, while my boost control is tapped to my tb.

I bought a MBC off of ebay too and I had mine installed correctly and it didnt work. It would go crazy and shoot up to max psi. I took it apart and found that the output side of it was bored large enough for the ball to fall into. The ball was in the out side blocking the air causing it to...

I just intalled my scantool today so that I could have a digital display for my WB, and be able to log it. As I was driving down the road flipping through the settings I noticed that the timing was 35 on the scantool and 24 on my datalogger? I've always thought something was wrong with my...

In this picture I'm assuming the switch is wired after the fuse or breaker? The positive that close to ground freaks me out. Ever since my buddy wired up his stereo with the fuse closer to the amps, and it caught fire I always mount all fuses out of battery before they go anywhere.

I only charge it when it runs out of batteries starts beepin and dies.

The biggest problem I would forsee would be battery life. As we all know with cell phones the first few charges last the time they predict but then after that it goes downhill fast. I could see them going dead in 50 miles after a year.

My buddy thought about getting the swap done on his avenger but I guess the guy that does the swap charges like 6k to do it. Not sure if that includes the motor tranny etc.If you were to want more performance out of your 2.5 I'd homebrew turbocharge it or buy one from the vendors who make...

Maybe the 135 mpg is an estimate of the amount of electricty charge cost it takes to match the cost of 1 gallon of gasoline.

The extra 3 wires I would assume would be + and - loop for themisister reading. And one for a light?

Here's another one. After trying to solve my boost leak problem I wanted to see exactly how much it would hold. I started hearing a small hiss at 35psi so I lean over trying to find the hiss. Turn up the pressure to 40 and it becomes a little louder. Get my ear the the spot and BAM. Pipe...

Oh impact wrench, that sucks. I've had a few of those too not even thinking. Once I ran the outer 4 on the crank pully in this way, spent the rest of the day trying to extract them.

Ya, my bad.

I'm an electronic technician and I fix little green handhelds that those military guys use to find their way around the desert.

I just wanted to see how many things we've done while working on our car that made us feel stupid, because the problem was self inflicted.For example, I intalled new front struts and used a jack underneith the A arm to compress the strut up into the mount, while lowering the hoist to bolt it...

Far as I know fuel cut is at like 1606 or there abouts right? I had a problem similar to what you are saying, but mine spiked up over 1606hz. Mine was a boost leak and why I didnt get an aggresive fuel cut was because I had the fuel cut thing activated on my MAFT.

Dont know to much about the Apexi, but I know that the flange angles from downpipe to catback will probably not match if you mix brands. I just installed my catback from megan racing on my 90 gsx today and Im very happy with the overall sound and fit, but the flange from my downpipe was off by...

Figured it out. I never looked in the actual radiator or pulled the hose, I was just assuming since I had plenty in the overflow that I should have plenty of fluid in the radiator. I guess the fan wasn't enough. I refilled the rad, up to the stat housing and installed a couple fans one that...

90 GSX 200k miles no CW :)

Holy crap that musta been a hell of a day. I liked the rubbermaid roof that would be sweet. Mine wasnt near that bad but sucked none the less.I always wanted a dsm and when I got my first one 5 years ago it was a buddies of mine who moved away to go to the military. He buys a new car and...

Sorry I should have mentioned that. That was one of the first things I thought of and checked it. It was 145-140-145-145.Since only one fan works the other was blown I had removed the resistor for the fan and it turns at almost 2x the speed. I'm gonna try to get a set thats shrouded with...

I have a problem with my coolant. My datalogger shows it working its way up to 106*C maximum while the stock water temp guage reads right in the middle? Is this right or should I be concerned about it.The person I bought the car from was a retard and decided to replace the fuse for the...

I bought some ssautochrome headers for my truck and they seem to be holding up fine. Theyve been on there 2 years now and havn't cracked or anything, but they dont have the weight of a turbo on them. My manifold on my car is really cracked now so I thought I'd try some tubular ones off of...

I'll try readjusting again to see 100 percent all the time. I had it at the floor the whole time. Maybe I have a bad TPS. Before I adjusted it, it was always at 80% or so. Ill post another log after I can get 100 percent.

?? That was WOT, both gears. Ill try setting the MAFT back to stock and adjusting from there. I'm not removing the MAF just for the sake that I'm on an upgrading process. The only reason I dont have a 20g on there yet is because I would like to get fuel and timing under control before I blow...

Heres the log. I couldnt post it in a gallery so I did on another forum I belong to. Heres the link info and or direct linkhttp://www.allthingsmoto.com/photopost/data/500/login.JPG

I'll post a log when I get home. I have both 12psi and one at 17psi. BTW updated the profile and its a 1g.Thx

Guys Im having a problem. I cant figure out why my car wont pull as hard as it did with the stock injectors. I've been replacing/upgrading parts trying to get it running and tuned right.I have MAFT in blow thru, Walboro 190, boost @ stock, 550's, SAFCII, dataloggerIve been trying to...

Sorry it took so long to get back. I guess we shouldnt have used the same rod bearings although we put them back in the same way. They died say the least and took the crank with it. It looks as if somehow the new head gasket blew during break in and water got down in the oil. I guess the...

Ok first off Ill let you know what we had done first. First of all we just got done doing a ring change. We took off head and everything that needs to be done in order to the the change. Honed the cylinders and reinstalled. When we started it back up it seemed to run fine. We heard this...

i think you're right on that, the LSD is considered "locking", if not i just ordered the wrong part.. live and learn ... thx

i need an axle so you wouldn't think they would need to know what differential it is, unless the end that goes into the differential is different, you cant underestimate the salvage yards though

Just bought a 98 gsx with minor damage and need an entire new rear shaft but they cost over $1000 at the mitsu dealer and the salvage yards ask is it a locking differential. the mitsu dealer says there might be a switch on the dash if it is or you'll see an extra vacuum line coming out of the...

Can someone help me plz. Just purchased a wrecked 98 GSX AWD and the driver side rear suspension components are damaged. Looking for the part Im trying to find out what the name is for the rear spindle mounting? The part the wheel and axle mount to. I pick up the car tomarrow and would like...
