yeah........but no. catastrophic failure? Not happening. The odds of it getting stuck in the journals is 1,000,000 to 1. Try winning the lottery first.
KewlWinter, Thanks for your reply. I'm really lost on the whole oil pressure flow issue, the engine is together and running, what should I do. I have no way of knowing if the oil porting was done during the engine build, QPR Performance doesn't exist anymore.
Hey guys, I'm having something similiar to this.-Metallic pinging at idle from cylinder #1
-very loud.
-Trips the knock sensor.
-Seems to go away somewhat when I rev the engine. too loud to tell for sure.
-Noise goes away completely when I unplug the plug wire:confused:4g64...
Ok, just remember to check the step height after all else fails. Also don't adjust the rod all the way out, it needs to be centered. Don't drive your car with the clutch pedal on the floor, it ruins the synchros.
It sounds like when you stuck a wrench down there to work on the alternator you shorted the fuse out. Do not service your alternator with the battery connected.There is a "ground" post on the alternator, make sure you haven't connected the positive to the wrong part of the alternator, that...
MBC: Hallman Pro RX - too expensive, build you own. Here's why: building your own boost controller will help you understand how the car works. If you are not able to build your own MBC, get a honda.Intake: FP AIP /w BOV Return Flange - OKAir Filter: K&N (/w MAF mount) - OKBOV: 1g...
:ohdamn:
Actually, No, you're all wrong.proof: unlpug your mas and take your car for a drive.
(Yeah, I know with no mas plugged in it will run like crap) but the gauge will function.The stock "boost" gauge is an output of FUEL used.
The gauge is designed for you to see how much fuel you are...
With the amount of work involved with swapping from AT to MT, I would highly recommend against doing this. Many of the DSM crowd actually are switching back to automatic because it can yield faster quarter mile times and helps spool big turbos. your car is rare and awesome, don't fix what...
89-90 shifter cables, 89-90 in-cab shifter assy, 89-90 transmissions are compatible.
91-94 shifter cables, 91-94 in-cab shifter assy, 91-94 transmissions are compatible.if you take the time to compare and contrast the differences, you could probably figure out a way to shorten or lengthen...
Actually, don't do any of that, crankwalk isn't going to happen unless you mess up. even if you can just have a mechanic replace the bearings.Actually, the 2G head flows "better" for lower HP dsms, higher velocity equals better torque, the difference in intake ports only favors the 1G in...
Trying to improve the "midrange" of the 4G63 is very tricky, not many have accomplished this because of how small our engine displacement is.Look at it this way, the performance loss in the "midrange" of the 272 is offset by gains "higher up" 4k-9k (you are getting better springs right? if...
if you let this ^ person rebuild your engine, this is probably the case.crankwalk happes when you wear out your thrust bearing, or pump metal shavings through your oiling system.Or in my case try to extend the master cylinder rod too far to compensate for not stepping the flywheel...
I don't know why you are avoiding just going 272/272. Have you had a bad experience in the past? Just because you may have heard of someone with idling issues with 272 cams doesnt mean that the cams are to blame.Just because some fool knows how to buy and install cams doesn't mean they know...
If you do not verify the step of the flywheel you are shooting yourself in the foot over and over and over and over.TRE TECH TIPS

Some facts about the FIAVThe engineers at mitsubishi designed this system to extend the service life of the engine greatly. This is why we have 20+ year old 6-bolt engines that have never been rebuilt. The parts just haven't worn out.If you remove/modify the FIAV or the coolant lines...
An an secondary issue that you do run into is phantom knock, if it is loud enough for you to HEAR with your ears, then the knock sensor is (for sure)picking it up, and pulling timing.additionally, just because it quiets down enough to not hear over engine noise doesnt mean its not ticking...
55mph=2500rpm in 5th. I don't know what that translates to in kph.I've driven a lot of imports and our cars are geared so that our engines have higher RPMs across the board to deal with the low compression and the turbo lag.The only time that your engine will rev "too high" is when the...
Ok, I dont want to sound rude, but this is gotta be said: a stock 6-bolt can hold upwards of 500HP with just cams and a big turbo.You may spend your money as you see fit. However if you want advice, ditch all these expensive engine mods and go with a formula that works. There are many...
The Hyundai engine differ in several different ways from the stock engine in the 2G.
-Higher compression non-turbo pistons.
-No oil squirters
-Cylinder head intake runners are smaller then the 2G runnersI would not recommend using a non-turbo engine in your turbo car.
Mazda RX7 Turbo uses 550cc injectors, Only two per car, get 4 of them and you will be set.I had RC550cc injectors and they worked great with the 2G mas, didn't need to go eeprom, just the stock turbo ECU.Add in 272 cams, a free flowing exhaust, a bigger turbo and a FMIC and that will be more...
Hey, I'm a DSMer who has a huge project and I wanted to share it with the community.My buddy got back from Iraq and had too much money, so he bought a talon and we started building it.He drove it for a bit perfectly stock, and then rear-ended a mazda, we replaced the radiator core support...

Everybody, chill out, The 2G head is superior to the 1G head for about 85% of the powerband, -BUT- it doesn't matter because the 4g63 is the king of 4 cylinders, the difference is no greater then 10% and I have been in many 400AWHP+ 4G63 cars with 1G heads.Something to be interested in and to...
the 97-99 was a little different, it wont work very well, however if you start getting fuel and spark after you swap it in, then you know you are on the right trail!
All 1G (6 and 7-bolt) AWD (manual/auto) transmissions are compatible with each other.However, the AWD 1989-1990.4 (first batch) only offered 5-speed, and is completely incompatible with everything2G AWD transmissions should work too, however your TCU may need a different connector.If this...
Hey RayBan, contact my buddy "Julian" he lives here in the twin cities (not far from you), he does all sorts of rebuilds, and he has several 14bs and 16g's in stock, he rebuilds every turbo he sells with new bearings, and he warranties his work, so no worries, its gonna last a long timePlease...
:ohdamn:Ok, what was the condition of the hole? if it had a knock sensor in it, the metal would look shiny and new.If it is corroded, tarnished and worn, then that would lead me to believe that it is a NT engine

Back in the day when I was a n00b, I would work on my DSM and not really be aware of what I was doing, I would put shit back together with greasy bolts, and I had shit fall apart on me.Now, Every bolt is cleaned and inspected before I bolt everything back up, and I have had no "gremlens"...
Dude, I had the same problem! I was trying to take the wiper motor off the car to clean it, ended up giving up, put the 4 bolts back in, and ever since then I couldnt get my wipers to work.Verified power, everything should have worked.Forgot to tighten the 4th bolt in the lower right...
We need more pictures mate! Are you trying to figure out if you own a 6-bolt engine? or just the oil pan?There is a "Hump" or "Bump" on ALL 7-bolt engines on the front case, the oil pan bolts to the front case and it too has a bump.Based on those pictures, it looks like that is a good ol 6-bolt
Just beat the crap out of your engine, (seriously, drive it hard, not too much boost during the first couple hours of driving though), but then boost away.I would say with the right mounts, good hardware and proper torquing you will be "fine".I am not trying to convince you that...
First off, sorry about the lack-of-bracket-picture, been out-and-aboutSecond, I was drunk, I'm a little long winded at times, but I thought it important to share every negative maintence experience/way to fix it ever, and after 10 years it does add up.The cars are very reliable, no DSM...
Beat you to it buddy, it's a solid idea and works great, however I have a throttle body off a ford as a cutout shutter. I reversed the spring so the throttle body wants to stay open. I found a vacuum operated cruise control actuator ( opposite of wastegate actuator) and I hooked it up to the...
I never said "Exhaust manifold bracket" what I did say is "if you FAIL to bolt the Exhaust to the bracket that is bolted on the block. " this has nothing to do with the MANIFOLD.The Exhaust DOWNPIPE-to-BLOCK bracket is down by your oil filter, if you really want ill post a picture of it up...
check timing belt, give us compression numbers.verify fuel pressure, my fuelpump became unwired because someone did a bad job installing it, same symptoms. check to make sure you are getting fuel pressure and get back to us
For people who do all their own work, there are "tricks" that can help you out a ton: some issues specific to DSM's that you probably wouldn't encounter elsewhere:-Boost leaks: the DSM runs on a MAF airflow sensor, extremely reliable, long lasting, and accurate; however if there is a leak...
If I were starting out with a stock 1g again (god, I love 1G's) tuning is great.But, by far the best/fastest 1G I have ever had the pleasure of working on was my brother's 92 Laser RS AWDMy expensive GVR4 and 90 TSi AWD have never been this fun, because I was always "playing it safe"...
DSM's use a MAS airflow sensor, it is awesome and very reliable, however you CAN NOT have ANY boost or vacuum leaks.repairing your throttlebody seals is easy, takes about half an hour, google or go to vfaq.com for detailed instructions.Seriously, if you recently had the engine rebuild...
