Well, nothing has changed in a year and I still have basically zero time for much outside of work. I was able to take the car to a local meet this past summer. Other than that, it rarely leaves the garage.Here's to hopefully having more time next year 🍻
Given the clutch fork boot is wet, and there is oil inside the bellhousing, I'd say there's a good chance the output shaft seal is leaking. Unfortunately, the only way to tell/see where/why it's leaking is to pull the trans. Unless you really badly gouged the case on removal, I'd bet you didn't...
I've never heard 4G63 stroker builds of being significantly more prone to cylinder wall wear. If the limiting wear factor of your built 4g63 motor is the cylinder walls, you've likely done something wrong. I know people with stroker motors that have tons of miles on them. A stronger cylinder...
You'll have to pick one or the other, but you can't do both since ECMlink won't integrate the boost control function of the external sensor.As others have recommended, I'd go with a cheaper WBO2 and then buy the required components to control boost with ECMlink. I would choose ECMlink over the...
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here.To sum up my thoughts: All sensors fail, regardless of brand and what you read on the internet (such as threads titled "Avoid OMNI MAP sensors"). Not shitting on the OP, I just think such a frank opinion should come with more definitive...
Wrong again. Imagine that.@303_2G go assign a name to your MAP sensor, configure ECMlink to capture that value, then go get a log where the car makes some boost. That will be an easy way to clear things up.
Indeed. The OP hasn't actually assigned a display name to the MDP input so, it's pretty hard to tell what the sensor is actually doing. That being said, it's not doing absolutely nothing.Here's another screenshot of my car. The "Omni4Bar" reads -27.9 the entire time during a 3rd gear pull, yet...
My apologies, Chris. Apparently you and Steve are buddies, which somehow implies he has some sort of credibility, even though still, he's added zero value to this thread after half a dozen posts.Perhaps you can ask him kindly to examine the logs provided and give some tangible feedback that...
Like usual, cool story.Imagine what it would be like if you could post a normal helpful response without any of the BS?Try this: Look at the log the OP posted, then actually apply all the vast amounts of knowledge you allegedly possess to provide feedback in a public forum so that both the...
Opinions on that would probably vary. That said, being professional (in general) doesn't look like anything @biglady112 posted.The tuners I mentioned above have overwhelming support from the community, and have established that over years of "professional" work and interactions. If you can...
Wait, it did? How do you know that information? The Omni shown in the log posted by the OP was also "reacting instantly", was it not?I'm not trolling anyone. Everything I said was based on facts, or opinions given based on experience derived from facts. Just because you consider yourself a...
Send me the sensor, I'll plug it into my car.What's your issue with being asked to verify the input voltage? I'm trying to see in your log where the Omni sensor is reading incorrectly? Literally, every time you give the car a throttle input the sensor responds immediately. Your log clearly...
No, a MAP signal is absolutely not necessary to make the car run. Albeit, the car won't run well, but it will (rather should) run. The issue you're describing doesn't sound like a MAP sensor issue, or at least, not exclusively.If I had to guess, your tune is likely...Well, how should I say...
Same. Mine has been working for years with zero issues.What was the issue? Do you have a log?Even with the sensor completely unplugged, the car should still run well enough to limp it home. I'd bet there is something else contributing to your problem if the car was dead on the side of the...
I've definitely had some ups and downs with my builds. You just gotta stick with it when shit goes south. Car looks great!Where exactly did you get the exhaust system?
In the 20ish years I've been dicking with the 4G63, I've never had a tensioner fail. I've probably ran more Gates tensioners than anything else. Additionally, if you tension the belt properly with the tensioner pulley, the belt will typically retain tension for a while even if the auto-tensioner...
Engine rotation had to have stopped abruptly to clean the teeth off the belt. Now, that could have been caused by the valves contacting the pistons after a tensioner failure, but I seriously doubt the belt initially failed as pictured causing the damage.Improper installation, oil...
Still waiting for you to do an in-depth writeup we talked about (in another thread I think) regarding the pedal mods you did to get it to shift at high RPM. I loved my ACT setup, but it just wouldn't shift for shit up high in the r's.I know you figured out a good recipe, but from what I...
Great thread!I might try some of this stuff to get my QM twin to behave better. I've done everything, to include adding a 2G accumulator. It basically did nothing.
I've definitely experienced this.To that point, I can only offer this: I don't really talk a lot about my car being featured in Super Street magazine or on the Hoonigan Channel (what is now Larry Chen's Auto Focus channel) on here, on Social Media, or really anywhere. But, when people ask...
I've gone through all the DSM stages of grief, and selling out is the only one that still gives me trouble.The last time I got close to selling out was when the car was down for an extended period of time. Much like you, I went without it, made other things a priority, got focused on family...
Color matching is an art. Either that, or it's done with special equipment.For a home grown garage job, you're likely going to have to settle for close enough, as most people don't have the skills to perfectly color match an aftermarket bumper, even with high quality paint products. You could...
If you just let it idle forever, does the temp creep up? I'm talking 30min or more, enough to get the car completely up to operating temp so that the fans start cycling on/off. Hood closed, idling.
Hell, I was in on the initial buy for PiLink from @TSiAWD666 and still haven't installed it yet. I have a brand new Xona turbo and hot parts to boot from @MorrisonFab sitting in the garage in boxes waiting for some action. Hopefully some day I'll get back to wrenching on the car...Either that...
Automotivetouchup.comhttps://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/mitsubishi/1995/eclipse/It's not as high quality as something like PPG or similar, but it will definitely do the job. They will send you everything you need pre-mixed according to your factory color. You can also buy...
Yeah, regrettably, I have had no time for the car, or the forums. Hoping that will change in the next year or so. Life takes up all my time right now. I miss the forums, helping with tuning advice and delving into the car and the DSM world. Hopefully it will still be around by the time I have...
I've been moving around for work a lot and have had zero time for the car. On the rare occasions when I get back home to San Diego I at least try to pull it out of the garage:
Sadly, nothing to add outside of what Steve has already beat to death. It's been decades since I've had to configure a TPS without ECMlink, and even longer since I've had to mess with a 2G TPS. Most people use the "close enough" methods simply because the factory procedure is difficult to do.
Agreed. I know it's not "recommended" but my 10 micron paper element held up just fine. In fact, I definitively proved it works better than the 40 micron stainless filter I changed it out for.The 6 micron glass element should certainly do the trick, and it's E85 compatible.All said and done...
Well, it's been a interesting couple months with the Galant.I don't drive the car much, but a few weeks back I started noticing the car was running funny as boost started coming on. I didn't think much of it at first, but soon realized the problem was getting worse. I loathe wrenching on the...
Ah, no, I understand what you're saying now.In that case, your life is much easier. Just record a logfile (start capture) with the tune you want to preserve loaded and ensure you denote the file name so you can recall it later. You can change whatever you want, and if you decided the changes...
If he's willing to share, absolutely.Quite possible, since the Yaris coils are DIS. But, only one way to find out if the Denso coils hold up I suppose :idontknow:
I've personally ran MMCD on a palm IIIc hooked directly to the OBD1 port via a cable. You can also use a USB serial adapter, although getting the right combination of software to get it all to work at this point in time may be a chore. I know it can be done with a computer as well using a...
There's not a way to save everything at once, which is what I think you're getting at.There's also no way to just "load all stock settings". If things have been modified via ECMlink, then they will also need to be un-configured so to speak. There's no 1 click button that will do all of this...
I mean, unless you're just doing it for the challenge, you're reinventing the wheel.As @Jane Hacker alluded to, MMCD does what you want (and more) and it's free if you have the hardware to make it run (a Palm/computer of some sort and a cable)...
Meh, I (and many others) have been bashed about running the Intrepid coils, but as you mentioned, they have performed for me personally just fine.Could you perhaps share a wiring diagram of your setup and the part numbers for the Denso coils?
I've used RockAuto for years with zero negative things to say about them. Understand everyone has a bad experience now and then, but I can say in 10+ years I haven't, personally.
