  1. Need help fast, cut brake lines!!!!!

    You can run -3AN TFE hose from the porportioning valve on the firewall back to the calipers, they require TFE fittings though. The rear lines on my 1g rusted out and this was way easier then trying to duplicate the oem line with a pipe bender, the brake fitting threads are 10mm x 1.0I'ts not...
  2. Car takes to many cranks to start when cold

    That "whoosh" sound you get when you open the cap is not vacuum, its pressure. If there is a small leak somewhere it will depressurize the line slowly so when you go to crank it the next morning you will have to crank until the pump builds enough pressure in the line to start the car.Now if...
  3. Car takes to many cranks to start when cold

    If all the pressure in the line bleeds off after time that would indicate a leak somewhere. If you're not smelling fuel in/around the car then I would check the fuel pump nipple o-ring, you could be bleeding pressure back into the tank.
  4. bearing are shot after 50 miles...

    Was it a smooth shaft or did it have the oil groove in it? look at the pic in post# 21 of that thread I linked and you'll see what I'm talking about.
  5. bearing are shot after 50 miles...

    The only thing off the top of my head is the stubby shaft from the bse kit, do you remember which one you had?http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/284824-best-quality-yet-most-affordable-balance-shaft-eliminator-kit.html
  6. My Story

    Good thread, nice to see what can be done if you take your time and do things right. How much difference is there between the auto awd exhaust vs. the 5sp awd exhaust?I'm guessing the 5sp down pipe will come up about an 1" short to the 02 correct? I picked up an auto car recently and was going...
  7. (Thermostat) Can anyone tell me what this is?

    Thats right, it's the thermo coupler for the EGR.
  8. (Thermostat) Can anyone tell me what this is?

    Your water temp gauge isn't working because the sensor for it is was removed and replaced with an aftermarket sensor driving the aftermarket gauge.The broken sensor is pretty much useless, I forget exactly what its for but it's not needed, you can pull those lines off and cap them at the...
  9. engine vibrates at 3k-6500rpms??

    Pretty much, there's no room when the motor is in the car. All you gotta do is take the belt off, turn the oil pump sprocket around and re-time everything. When you screwed the sprocket on, the balance shaft was facing the wrong way, that's why everything lined up but you're getting a vibration.
  10. engine vibrates at 3k-6500rpms??

    I would just fix the problem, removing the balance shafts will require you to take off the front case, should be done during an overhaul.
  11. engine vibrates at 3k-6500rpms??

    You're going to have to redo the t-belt, the rear balance shaft was backwards when you installed the belt. There's a plug on back of the block for you to check this.Timing Belt VFAQ (Timing Belt TSB - ENHANCED) Go down to #24.
  12. engine vibrates at 3k-6500rpms??

    Balance shaft 180* out maybe?
  13. This connector

  14. New to MAFT now car issues

    Go here: MAF Translator and click the support/downloads button at the top/middle, that will take you to the fullthrottle tech forums where you can download the manual and there's also a section for 1G/2G support.
  15. New to MAFT now car issues

    Did you setup the translator box? It's not plug and play even if it was installed in another DSM previously. You can get the manual for it here: 1G / 2G DSM MAFT version 2.XX (Current Version!) - Full Throttle Speed Tech Support
  16. Tubular front k-member/sub-frame design

    Sounds interesting. For discussion sake, here's a link to a shop that made one before. Mitsubishi Ecliplse tubular K member
  17. 420A Ripping up belts need help

    That could be caused by a sharp nick or tool mark somewhere on the pulleys.
  18. Who can rebuild n/t throttle body

    Check out Vfaq.com under "intake" for a writeup on replacement of those seals. If you can spare the cash I would just send in your core and get a rebuilt one, you can even have the vacuum ports on top removed if you want.
  19. Who can rebuild n/t throttle body

    Steve = Throttlebodys.com
  20. about to but another 1g

    Could be the timing belt tensioner.
  21. 2g awd tran in a 1g

    I've got a 2G trans in a 1g, its not that hard to do. 1g's have 3 engine mounts and 1 trans mount, you will need to remove all 3 mount brackets off the 2g trans and install the top bracket from the 1g.The speedo drive gear will need to be swapped with the 1g unit, you can use the 1g shifter...
  22. cannot find a ISC sencor for 1990 laser rst...know where i can get one?

  23. My Build *Pics*

    Sweet build! Are you having custom brackets made for those seats?
  24. how do you install a 90 ecu wiring harness ecu and engine in a 94 both awd

    The 91+ wiring is much better than the 90 stuff. Make the 90ECU work in the 94 car, you get the better 7 pin ignition module with 91+
  25. Car registration?

    I forgot to mention use the AFC to pull out as much fuel as you can in the 1K rpm range and that should help alot, excessive HC is because of a rich condition.
  26. Car registration?

    HC = Hydrocarbon Is this an exhaust sniffer test where they stick a probe into the tail pipe? if so sounds like the catalytic converter and or you have a bad 02 sensor throwing off the idle mixture.
  27. Where to even begin

    You won't have to worry about the balancer belt if balance shafts have been removed. Hacked MAF's cause problems on some cars and work decently well on other cars, if your car runs well on a hacked one in addition to not recirculating the bov I wouldn't worry about it. The DSM link has an...
  28. Coil On Plug

    You will have to remove the tach adapter and connector off the 90 coil pack and wire it into the COP setup. COP setups don't work very well without an ignition amplifier like a MSD or Dynatek, you will most likely get spark blow out(ignition breakup) at higher rpm's...
  29. have an engine question

    Off the top of my head I'd say you need: oil pan from a turbo motor and front water pipe from a turbo motor and from what I understand the n/t block does not have a boss to screw the knock sensor into. I think your biggest issue will be getting the n/t motor to hold up to boost.
  30. Question about suspension

    The Eibach Sportlines and the Megan springs are the same height, 2" drop on a 1G will leave you with very little suspension travel but its drivable.
  31. 2008 DSM Shootout Pictures!

    Heres a few of mine.
  32. Varying Clutch Engagement [Merged 1-9] bleeding air floor stuck grinding

    1990 transmissions have different shifter cable brackets which could be the problem.
  33. [RESOLVED] Anybody ever had this happen to them?

    Have you checked firing order yet?
  34. 7bolt rebuild help!

    The ACT2600 is mainly whats screwing up your thrust bearings. Marco has an interesting article on his site about this. Magnus Motorsports
  35. Need Interior Fasteners, where to buy them?

    Heres some of the clips you're looking for.Clips and Fasteners
  36. driveshaft question

    With the trans attached you can pull it out on an angle, lift from the timing belt side and it'll clear the frame rail.
  37. New motor came in. Maybe an Evo III ?

    Thats a Galant motor, you can tell by the thermostat housing and the intercooler hose that wraps up and around the exhaust manifold.
  38. Stroker decisions...

    Boring .20 over is not going to get you anymore power, its done to straighten out the cylinder walls if they are out of round.
  39. Buying a car with a rough idle

    Is that a Manheim auction? Why cant you test drive it if you put it back where you found it? Anyway, its a 10yr old DSM with a 7bolt that doesn't run right at a dealer auction, be prepared to spend some money on it. Either way $2500 is good for a 98GSX with decent body.
  40. Wont start when warm???

    I would run a resistance check on the ECT sensor, you can probably get search results on this forum for more info on that.
  41. Crushed oil filter housing cooler

    Why not just plug the 2 ports on the housing for the cooler lines? its 16mm x1.5
  42. 2g gst w/ 6-bolt swap wont start

    That does not sound good, open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder and see if the pressure in the pedal remains, you might want to connect a hose to the valve so you dont shoot brake fluid everywhere.
  43. 2g gst w/ 6-bolt swap wont start

    If you know where the starter is located you can tap on the solenoid and see if that does the trick, or you could try push starting it but if your starter does not engage checking spark plugs, boost leak and compression tests arent going to get you anywhere. Like SBR Joe said, it could have...
  44. [RESOLVED] 1990 coil on plug wiring

    What are you searching under?http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/287093-1990-cop-diagram.html
  45. Compression test results in and it's NOT GOOD (Please look)

    If its running fine with no smoke and $$$ is limited than why not just keep the boost down and drive it as is?
  46. 2g gst w/ 6-bolt swap wont start

    You state that the starter does not engage when you turn the key but do you hear the starter relay clicking when you turn it?
  47. Popping only while braking and turning

    The problem you are describing is not really a common problem on 2G's, you might want to jack the front end up and crank the wheel to see if it still does that with the weight off the wheels.
  48. Play in a brand new 16g?

    When I first bought one a few years back I was asking myself the same question, I ended up putting 1500 HARD miles on it without issues before switching to a bigger one.
  49. Oil pan and transfer cases are they the same

    1G engines whether 6 or 7 bolt will use the same oil pan. Have you counted the splines on the T-cases?
