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:
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...
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...
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.
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...
So I have my first new DSM, I wanna gun 7's, what mods to I need to to buy in order to.... Wait. Wrong question. :DSeriously though. I have a leaky oil return line that's driven me flippin CRAZY!@#@!#It doesn't appear to be the line itself, which I bought a new one from the dealer for...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I never said I did not have a fuel pressure gauge. I have an Autometer Cobalt full sweep in cockpit gauge.I simply said I want to replace my old factory fuel filter to fuel filter line with a SS -an line and I wasn't sure HOW to hookup my fuel pressure gauge if changed to a -an setup and that...
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...
Holy crap this thread has made more come backs then any thread I've ever seen.2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, its been merged with others even lol.Anyway I found this looking for part numbers for the Autometer SS line kit parts for a DSM and I thought I would make an update.I posted...
I was down at TRE the other day and this one guy had a 1G that had both replacements for the dash cluster and HVAC controls so they were white faced and light up blue.I asked where he got them from but he couldnt remember.I looked around on the net and I found some that light up like...
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...
Me and a couple other guys from nabr got screwed by some guy/guys in Port Huron too. Diffrent name but we found out he had given us a couple fake names and it seemed maybe his friend or cousin or someone was helping. Just happened a couple months ago.I'm supprised this thread hasnt been...
Buy the shell back from the insurance company. Be a good start on a gutted drag car :(Those pictures are crazy. I couldnt do that good of a job stripping my car if I wanted to.Wow thats just crazy. I feel so sorry for you bro.
Recently put a Denso Supra Twin Turbo fuel pump in my winter car (1G) without rewiring the power to 14 volts (stock wiring).I have a fuel pressure gauge located on top of my fuel filter, no AFPR. I'm seeing 40 pounds of fuel at idle which I can deal with. According to my pocket logger, my...
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.
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...
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...
Did you report your DSMLink stolen to Tom or Dave over at ECM? Never know where it might show up. My friends car got jacked, about 6 months later someone tried to get support for them AEM unit he had in it and they contacted him and the police got involved. Within a couple months, the cops...
Hrmm I have a box full of stock n/t, turbo 5 speed, an turbo auto cams ranging from 90 to 98 and NONE of them look like these.I've also pulled dozens of dsm and galant heads from the bone yards to resell, none of the cams have ever looked like this.OEM style cams from a 3rd party company...
Need help identifying some cam shafts.I have some cams here with no real markings on them. If you stand in front of the car, on the left side (back of engine there is the letter "B" on both cams.. On the right (front closest to cam gears) there is the letter "C" on the intake cam with 2...
I took all the Talon badges off my car too however, I didnt put anything back on it.When I run into someone stupid who I know doesnt have a clue, I tell them its an Eclipse to save myself the time of telling them its a Talon which is the same thing as an Eclipse.When speaking to people I...
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...
No reason to respond to any of that. If you know someones a stupid moron who doesnt have a clue, why waste your time trying to talk to them.I used to be in the mind set that everyone had to start somewhere and not everyone knows everything but the more and more I upgrade my car, learn about...
