This is what I would do in this situation: bolt the tcase to the transmission, and bolt the broken part on as well, after getting it lined up as best as possible. Next, take a side grinder along the crack on the side opposite the t case mating side to create a valley, then have him weld it-...

Ha, well, im reasonably sure that back then they were still Mitsu based, so technically you should be okay off the head, in my opinion

Which 68hta is it? The newer one, or the old style, Mitsu chra based one? If the former, you should do as they say, if its the latter, run it off the head. That said, if it is the Mitsu chra based 68hta, then the hole in the oil inlet is already quite small. The chra that FP designed has a...

Got some good stuff in my classifieds ad, parting out the Laser :(, due to unexpected expenses. Everything must go. Really good LSD setups guys!

Pieces of my intake pipe. There are pictures on the previous page. Quite interesting, really.

It was an XTD cheapo that i put in while waiting on my Southbend to get fixed. Got the Southbend in it now. Heres the turbo comparison. Car runs great again, and Im putting it up for sale I think. Im just not feeling it anymore, and I never get to the road course or stip to play with it anyway.

I was about 2 blocks away when it happened. Ive got it all back together now, and the transmission shifts great still. Turbo center section came in today, so after work, Ill get a side by side picture to compare the damaged vs new comp wheel.

Im so glad it wasnt the flywheel, id have to junk the car which would suck cause i rebuilt it from the ground up. I saw a video a while back of a CRX at the track and when the flywheel blew, the entire front end of the car just went bye bye! Im going to make a scatter shield for mine cause im...

Its coming along. Slowly. This is a stage 4 TRE trans, with all EVO III gears, so I really dont want to mess it up. After cleaning and painting the donor bellhousing, the paint didnt match the rest of the case, so I had to paint the rest too. Lots of friggin prep and cleaning. Now that Ive got...

I played with the gears every way i could on the dyno. Well, exept for going over 5 advance on the exhaust side. It did go up to about 322 ish torque on one of the runs but hp was down to 372 or so. Im actually fine with the low torque as it will keep the transmission alive. Jon at TRE told me...

Pulled the valve cover, no tossed rockers. Bogus SVO came over and did a leakdown test, and the most leakage was less than 10%, so thats good. Ive been repairing things as I go. Fixed the intake pipe, wires and got a new upper and lower thermosstat housing all blasted, painted and ready to go...

Theyre a really cool shop, man. Just got moved into a bigger place, and theyre having a meet Feb 6th, I think. You should go. Im going to try and make it.

If youre in Panama City, go to Emerald Coast Motorsports. Theyve got an AWD dyno and theyre no too far from you.

Not sure. The thermostat housing was shattered too and the maf was no longer connected to the turbo and it wont run like that.. Valvetrain was built well, so i hope not. I shift it a tick past 8k and its always been fine and still makes power there.

No kidding. Your success with it is the reason i put it in as a temp solution but i left it in there cause it was working fine for daily driving and even pulls. I even dynoed the car with it. Ive spun the wheels in the wet, gotten sideways playing and shifted real fast with it and it always held...

Wasnt the flywheel, the Pressure plate friction surface exploded. ACT Streetlite flywheel and the XTD 6 puck clutch. Ive never launched it on the XTD even once and its only around six months old if I recall correctly. 8500 RPM rev limit. Ive seen flywheels blow, its downright scary. Ive got a...

Yeah, Ive got everything to fix it but the turbo, 300.00 just for the comp wheel, then an additional 415.00 to inspect it. New Red is 799.00. Intake, 100.00....

So, i let my friend drive my car Saturday night. He was trying to have a little fun and overreved the shite out of it, missed a gear and literally grenaded the pressure plate, which took out my bellhousing, fp intake pipe and the fp red turbo too cause the intake pipe bits went you know where...

Just remember, if youre wanting the short shifter made, you have to rob both shifter parts from the 3000gt/stealth. You dont need the base, just the shifter arm and the part the shifter arm bolts to that bolts to the base.

Yeah. Ive got their shifter in my Laser. Ive modified stock ones and also had a modified Fidanza before and the JNZ shifter is by far the best ive ever had. Extremely nice and tight. Trouble is its made from a 3000gt/ stealth shifter which arent made anymore but you can get one from the junkyard...

You could, but the k lever on the trans, the one thats shorter on the 90, and thus responsible for the shorter throw and also for the shifter no longer hitting its stops and putting the shift forks in the trans at risk for breakage is a major pain to get off the shaft. You need a serious air...

Thats the thing. Vfaq states that swapping only the bracket on the transmission is enough to make a 90 trans work in a 91- 94 car or a 91-94 trans work in a 90 car. Ive done it both ways and ill say that it never shifted properly until i swapped everything. The cables are different, the...

Here is a little info. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page in the link. Personally, when I installed a 91+ trans in my 90 years ago, I ended up swapping cables, shifter and shifter base and the brackets on the transmission cause it never really shifted properly until then. If this a...

They told me it probably would have read 430 ish on a dynojet as theirs reads lower than even a mustang dyno. Regarding the timing, i was seeing 7 counts of knock here and there so i lowered it cause its a stockbottom end that i put together myself. It probably does have a lot more blowby than a...

Used to use Holt, but its been down for years. There are rumors of Holt opening up again, but theyve been saying that for years. Last time, I went to Atmore, but the clutch died. Going to go again now that Ive had it on the dyno. I daily drive my DSM, it even has AC. Only thing I removed is the...

Sadly, the 1G hatch seal is no longer in production, and its also a pain in the ass to find a good, used one these days. I happened to be in the junk yard this morning, and found a Stealth with a perfect hatch seal and said to myself, what the hell, this looks to be the same extrusion as the 1G...

Put it together and weld the shite out of it. Itll wear out pretty quickly otherwise, especially if you have a clutch with a heavy pressure plate. Trust me, Ive done the pedal assembly swap far too many times and personally, if given the choice between pulling the pedals and pulling the motor...

ATS! Thats the company name I couldnt remember.Tell us how she drives when you get it in there!

Not sure about it being a Cusco mechanical. Theres another manufacturer but the company name eludes me at the moment. Ask Canadian_cd9a, he will know as hes had just about every dif availible in his possession at one point or another.

Why are you needing to swap? I see youre asking about 91 stuff (91 comes with a 3 bolt rear end), so I will say that if you have 1G 4 bolt axles and cups, and had a bad 3 bolt rear and were looking to swap and just couldnt find a 1G 4 bolt rear, but found a 2G LSD rear, you could indeed take the...

Ive done a lot of searching but havent been able to find any info regarding this issue. This is a friend's car, not my own, and I havent gotten to actually look at it yet. All Ive been told is that he installed a new clutch and afterward, when attempting to back out of his driveway, the steering...

Thanks, guys. I need to try and get to the track to see if i can get into the mid to high 7 second 1/8 mile range. Maybe this coming week.

So, I went yo the Dyno at Emerald Coast motorsports in Destin, Fl Saturday. Did several pulls while playing with my cam gears. First run at 27 PSI only made 368 WHP or so with the exhaust advanced 10 and intake retarded 2. Boost stayed at 27 psi with timing beginning at 7 degrees around initial...

3/8 or -6 NPT is perfectly sized for -8 an. 1/2 NPT would be better suited for -10 AN. 3/8 NPT when made correctly should have the same inside diameter of the -8 an fittings, and takes less precious realestate to drill and tap as well.

One more thing, since were on the subject- Arent these supposed to be 19 psi actuators on the new Red/Green/Black turbos? I can turn my boost down to as low as 10 psi so Im curious because it doesnt make much sense considering noone buys one of these to run less than 25 psi or so. My actuator is...

Ill try that in a bit and get back to ya. One thing I need to mention is that Im using an FP intake with a 3" x 4" reducer coupler to attach the Evo maf to the FP intake- could this be causing this issue perhaps? Its so crazy cause the 2G maf idles like stock. Also, Bastard, Im using the Maf...

So, as the title states, Ive removed my 2G maf that ran perfectly and put an evo maf on. I used the settings below to compensate for this maf which are the settings in the factory EVO code. Fired up the car, and its got a strange issue now. Itll sit at my set idle of 900 RPM, then slowly dip to...

Update: I spoke with a representative from thecompany, and he was very helpful with some information regarding this problem after I fully explained the boost leak test. The following is his reply, and I believe this can be useful to everyone:"Pressurizing the top side could certainly tear the...

Okay, so tonight, I decided to do a boost leak test, as I usually do every three months or so. Put my regulated setup on and put a steady, regulated 30 psi into the system. BOV line leaked a bit at teh blow off valve, nothing a new ziptie didnt fix. Anyway, went to fire her up, and noticed it...

Wow, I never thought about that, and I didnt know that they didnt install a pin to keep the cover in place either. Suppose I will mark mine and if I ever begin to experience trouble, Ill check that first.

Definitely being caused by flywheel/clutch aftermarkets and poly/ solid bushings. Ive got the same decel noise at certain rpm and its likely caused by rear toe eliminator kit being solid metal and metal carrier bushings and poly rear subframe bushings.

Yeah, I did mine at 28psi with more timing than Im running now, and it seemed okay but I only did one hard pull. Then, when I went to get ready to maybe go to the dyno, I really reamed it, back to back to back and it knocked, sometimes up to 12 counts, so I backed things down. Im going to crank...

Thats a pretty decent curve on pump with the boost that high, but if its knocking try going with 4.5K 8*, 5k 9*, 5.5k 10*, 6k 10* ,6.5k 11*, 7k 12*. You wont get away with much timing on pump. I had mine higher than yours but I noticed that it would knock during back to back pulls on the...

I dont have ecmlink cause i use Tunerpro, but what does your timing advance look like from 4k to 5k? I have mine at 7, ramping to 11* by redline. Im on the internal wastegate preloaded to the max.

Yeah, 400 whp on 93 pump piss is why I went with the Red. Hope I get there. Im still trying to get my max effort on the tune before going to the dyno.

Take the line off the wastegate, plug the end of the line then punch it in third gear and see what happens but obviously let off the pedal as soon as you hit your target boost otherwise the turbo will hit over thirty psi with no wastegate signal. If it shows a huge difference in spool, then you...

There are a lot of things that will effect spool. Boost leaks, camshaft lobe separation, afr and timing advance DURING spoolup are a few.

Did you ever happen to play with a locking setup in fron rear and center, or locking front and rear with the stock center and an adelia magic coupler? Ive been thinking about trying to get a Kaaz center or the adelia magic coupler and i know youve had all of these in your possession at some...

Loose electrical plug at an injector, or ignitor (power transistor). I had a bad plug on my ignitor, and if I took the car to over 7K RPM, the frequency of the vibration at that RPM would cause the plug to come loose and Id get a nasty misfire until I popped the hood and wiggled the plug back...

You could just cut one out of paper gasket material then connect the two coolant hoses together with a piece of tube or something till you get the real gasket. Make it easier in my opinion
