  1. Tial bov adapter for 1g bov

    I just re-read that.I bet Hal could do one of those too. Apparently he is taking special orders now too.jjrock5 can give you details. :)
  2. Tial bov adapter for 1g bov

    Yes and no. One was made in a limited run by one of the guys over on the NABR Forum but I don't think he ever commercially did them. Only small scale in-shop stuff.I paid $85 for mine new.See here:
  3. Newbish question, can anything other then lifters cause "lifter tick sounds"?

    I guess a more appropriate way to put it would be valve train noise.I have some nasty phantom knock. I've been dealing with it since 2005. I've had to set DSMLink to ignore knock until 2200 RPM and 35% throttle to get around full knock and timing pull just driving down the road.Car runs fine...

    Trying to fix a Turbo XS MBC, one of the new silver ones.Can somoene who ownes one turn the dial all the way out, til it pops off the top then unscrew that brass screw shaft for me and tell me if there is an O-ring on the screw? I think this ones missing one.Not sure on the new style...
  5. Coolant Temps, Running Lean??

    I'm running an Autometer Cobalt mechanical water temp gauge right in the t-stat housing.My factory gauge always sits in the same spot once it warms up, it's pretty much worthless, although DSMLink does report about the same findings as my Autometer gauge via the stock sensor.I'll pick up...
  6. Need help, leaking oil return line

    Yeah I'm not looking to get into all that, welding etc.But um... No, no crush washers and I didn't use that number 2 Peramtex on the threads. I'll have to give that a try.Thanks.
  7. Coolant Temps, Running Lean??

    Little thread hijack here.At what temp do you have to start worrying about engine damage, cylinder head warp etc?I was JUST about to make a post about this VERY same problems but the original posters first post describes my problem almost exactly.Well, other then the fact this problem...

  9. Glow gauges and gauge needles

    You know those reverse glow gauge and glow needle kits they sell on EBay that change your dash to like blue and your needles to blue?Does anyone make anything like that for the center console? I want to buy a set of those reverse glow gauges for my car and a set of blue needles but I think...

    Hrm... I have 3 different styles of locks here.
  11. Can someone show me a picture of a 1G door lock cylinder?

    Like the topic asks. Can someone take or show me a picture of a 1G door lock cylinder for me?Got a box full of random door lock cylinders from DSM's but I'm not sure which are 1G, 2G etc.Thanks.
  12. Broken studs HELP!!!

    There is something about all the nickle that's in the metal of the EVO III parts that causes them to melt to U.S. OEM bolts.I've never broken a bolt off but EVERY SINGLE time I have to remove the manifold, the U.S. bolts come out chewed up, needing to be replaced and the holes in the turbine...
  13. Smoking after new head install good compression

    When you rebuilt the head, did you replace the valve guides too? Need some details on the type of rebuild. Basic valve job? Major gut and overhaul etc...?I had a head we rebuilt but did not replace the valve guides and it smoked still. Turned out the valve guides were worn to hell. Replaced...
  14. install battery in trunk questions

    Wow, I need to start selling battery relocation kits. Those breakers can be had for $5 dollars each and you can get 20 foot of 4gauge for just over $20 dollars for GOOD stuff.Forget using car audio 4 gauge. That wire is the cheapest overpriced crap made. Buy welding wire.The copper strands...
  15. Rare part on your car

    Old school Buschur A/F Ratio Gauge.. Eh, well I guess it's not really a gauge.I took some polishing compound and cleaned the gauge up very nicely. Took more of the scratches out of the Plexiglas top plate. I also replaced the screws. This unit installed above the shifter in that small push...
  16. Lifter Tick [merged] Revised lifters 3rd Gen Generation 3g

    Nope... Removed them when I did my engine rebuild.I'm running Wiseco pistons on OEM big rods with ARP rod bolts and then full Mitsubishi parts other then that, (bearings, gaskets, oil pumps, gears etc).Oh, ARP head studs too. Not that any of that matters, just pointing out it's fully...
  17. Lifter Tick [merged] Revised lifters 3rd Gen Generation 3g

    Engines fine. Did a compression test and a leak down before and after pulling the head for the last rebuild about 1500 miles ago.HRMMMMMMMM... It's very possible it is the injectors I'm hearing. The sound is on the intake side of the head for sure. I guess I just assumed it was valve train...
  18. crack in exhiast manifold

    Funny story. This kid brings me his 92 TSI one time to work on. Unrelated to why he brought it to me but it has a cracked manifold that he tried to repair himself.No joke, JB Weld and black hi-temp grill paint. You know, like what you paint a BBQ grill with.I guess I can't make too much fun...
  19. crack in exhiast manifold

    You can weld cast just fine. I had a couple 1G and 2G manifolds over the years welded and they never cracked again. What do you think people who install HKS external wastegate on there OEM manifolds do? Glue? :)That being said, you can get a brand new EVO III manifold for $159.99 from The...

    I need an opinion. Cylinder head details:Standard sized stainless intake and exhaust valves Bronze magnesium valve guilds 3G revised lash adjusters Force Performance FPCam2 camshaftsThe head was rebuilt about 1500 miles ago, the valves and guides are brand new. The lifters are a good...
  22. Question about replacing lash adjusters

    Question about this article:http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/265060-how-replace-lash-adjusters-lifters.htmlWhat is the point of filling them with oil, the emptying them first? Simply so they are oiled?I ask because we bought some new lifters for my car and a buddy...

    The above link Steve posted,counterfeitcopies [ECMTuning - wiki]Scroll down to the 2GV1 and 2GV2 section.Do you have the black dongle looking thing? Have you actually SEEN the chip inside of the ECU?If you just need the "cable" it's a standard DB9 cable, your local Best Buy or even...
  24. Question about the 91 factory service manual, cover color diffrences?

    I wasn't sure where to post this, it's DSM related but not tech.I've decided I will always own a DSM in one form or another. Talon, Eclipse, 1G, 2G, etc, something. Maybe an EVO someday even though its not really a DSM but hey.Some people like classic Mustangs, Vettes etc, I like DSM's...
  25. Products the DSM crowd would like to see made

    I'm going to vote for the 1G weather stripping too. There are still PLENTY of 1G owners out there and everyone wants the stuff.If someone sent one off to China or somewhere and said here, make these. They would get rich. Even the dealers would be sending people to them. I was talking to a...
  26. Newb lighting question, HID lights?

    Not new to DSM's but I've never touched my lighting system because when I got the car I didn't have any issues with the lighting but the older I get the harder it is for me to see at night so I'm starting to wonder about something brighter.Would HID lighting be a solution for clearer...
  27. Nasty tranny noise in neutral, or is it clutch?

    You have a bad bearing inside of the trans. I think if I remember right, its the one on the input shaft.What is happening is that when you push the clutch in, the pressure plate is no longer spinning the clutch disc therefore the input shaft is no longer spinning inside the trans. Thus, no...
  28. Mechanical oil pressure gauge installation [Merged 1-8]

    I had really good luck with the copper lines they just look like crap now. My stainless turbo feed line is COVERED in road salt and it looks as clean and secure as the day I put it on back in 2002. The copper line on the oil gauge hasn't held up as well externally speaking. No leaks though. I...
  29. Fuel filter to rail supply line questions. AFPR, fuel pressure gauge etc.

    I never said I did not have a fuel pressure gauge.

    I've got a 1G Turbo AWD with the factory OEM fuel supply line that goes from the filter to the rail. The lines old and becoming cracked etc and I would like to replace it.I suppose I could just replace it with an OEM line but I would kinda like something upgraded like those stainless lines...

  33. Question about Torco Race Gas

    Have a question about Torco race gas.Does this stuff contain lead? Does it damage o2 sensors like all the leaded race fuels normally do?Reason I ask is that 93 oct gas hit $2.98 here today and 110 oct Torco is still only $2.75. Owner of the gas station said Torco doesnt go up in price...

  38. how many people are running N/A 6 bolts for their engine builds?

    Missed this update :)I don't think it matters what bung you use at long as its free and not used by anything else. As long at the sensor is near the stop of the block its going to pick up knock.
  39. New paint job! (before and after pics)

    I like the black hood. I've been wanting to paint my hood on my silver 1G (own 2 1G's) black for a while now. Only reason I haven't is money and bills.Blacks some what of a universal color. You can paint pretty much anything black on any color car and it looks "ok".Who cares what anyone...
  40. No power, not sure what to check.

    First off, when I say no power, I mean no electrical power.We bought this 91 Talon TSi to be a winter car and after getting the thing all put back together i dropped in a battery and nothing.Battery came out of my personal running talon, was fully charged but I get no dome lights or...

  45. Jrc fmic piping Kit

    Which JRC FMIC did you get? If you bought the back door style one thats SOOO easy to make a pipe kit for.You would need to buy some pipes that have bends in them. such as 2 45 degree manderal bends, and 2 90 degree bends.Then you just cut where needed and weld the the 2 peices together...
