I need a little advice. I have to rip out the old engine from my 91 GSX to make donor parts for the rebuild in my new DSM. I have no compressor for air powered tools. I was hoping that I could get some help and advice from people who have had to remove their engines in their garages...and what...

Isn't that essentially what you are looking for oldman? So that CCW right? based on normal screws and bolts? And if you are getting air from the turbo line to the MBC and the MBC is working then the Wastegate could be bad...or stuck. Also maybe the MBC that you are using isn't functioning...

Weird. Yea mine is all one color. The tan color or whatever color that is...but i guess i will have to pull that stuff and find out.

Is there any way to figure out if your car was ever a two tone colored car originally? Would it tell you on the label in the engine compartment right below the wipers? My Talon only has one color code on it....but so does my Eclipse which is two toned. I checked the VIN page and there was...

Alright. Thanks. I'll do some more research when I get my repair manual. I'm just trying to get an idea of what it would take...it doesn't sound too difficult. just time consuming haha.

woooow. I'm smart...I never thought of that haha. Wow....still blown away at how dumb I am haha. Well I think I can figure out where the fuse is. well what about removing the ABS entirely? I guess I would have to put in a standard brake assembly? is that something anyone else here has done?

i don't mind the ABS system on the 1G car.....but I would just rather not have it. I was wondering is there any way to disable the ABS system to where i would have normal brakes or eliminate the whole system.... I did a tech search and a forum search for stuff about the ABS but i didn't find...

alright thanks! i really didn't know what would be appropriate.

Is the belt slipping on the crank pully? so when you turn it the pulley turns the crank but the belt doesn't move? If so, that exactly what happened to me. The teeth on the timing belt around that aera of the pully got stripped because the head seized. That could be the same for you....:(. I...

Well also what amount of boost can the mitsu ML HG take? Can it take the full amount of boost that a big 16g turbo can produce? and i was looking at getting just a tubular exhaust manifold.whats the benifits of the evo III set up? so is the metal layer head gaskets better than then original...

I am regrettably having to have to pull apart my lower end 1000 miles after my complete rebuild because of a spun rod bearing. :cry: But I figured since I was going to be doing that and everything has to come off anyways...I figured that I would buy the ARP head studs and a new head gasket. Now...

In my own experience.... I actually seized my engine and something very similar happened to me. Heard a noise and boom nothing. Mine continued to turn over. I had a seized head. But my lower end was still turning freely. So you could have seized something in the lower end. I only had a leak on...

I had a similar problem with my car. Check your ignition coils. if the ignition coils aren't the problem, then you might check the power transistor that sits lower on the block. just follow the electrical wire from the coil pack to the transistor. check that too. you coil pack might be good and...

My question to you then would be, what went wrong in your build and what can I check to make sure that when I rip the engine apart and put it back together I make sure I do it right. What kinds of things can i look for as i disassemble the engine?

Yes we did check the clearence on the bearings. And I broke the engine slowly...about 700 miles before I hopped in and there I went. And you're right, I should have done a compression test. I should have done a boost leak test as well. We never got to them. We planned on checking the rings...

all it takes is a little research and your dreams come true...as i should probably eat my own words lolhttp://dsmtuners.com/sub.php?page=2gtupgrades http://vfaq.com/index-main.html http://dsmtuners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42just have to look around. i don't know all the best...

I really like the DSM cars. I just rebuilt my car with my dad. And now I have to rip it apart again. I'm 18 years old. I don't know enough about cars to do this myself. My dad basically hates these cars with a passion... and I don't have the funds or knowledge to fix my car. The reason I am...

I seem to be having a lot of excessive blow-by. I just rebuilt my motor. Right now i have my piston rings gapped at .018 inches top, .014 inches 2nd, and .018 inches oil ring and I haven't done a compression test yet because if the gap aren't correct, theres no reason because i'll have to rip it...

Its possible for sure. He actually told me to take a pressure gauge and hook it up to the blow-by and see how much pressure there is and go from there. He suggested removing one spark plug from each cylinder at a time and then running the car to see if the pressure goes down. If it never...

I have roughly 1000 miles on the engine. I was working on it today and i experimented with the PCV and noticed that my hose was slightly kinked. So I cut it and eliminated the curve with a piece of piping at a 90 degree angle. Also i noticed that my oil was as dirty as it is when it needs to be...

personally i would rather just do it once and be done with it you know.

Just to claify...my car has been running for 5 days. so over time probably doesn't mean in that amount of time....i'm hoping, also its amazing that that thing could get so hot. And see becasue i live where i do...my car has to pass a visual inspection for the I/M. so the reason i am looking at...

Ok here is how i figured out i need a new turbo...my intercooler is full of oil, my upper IC pipe has a lot or oil in it, and the tubo also has oil in it and the little piece from the aircan to the turbo, has oil in it. This was a used turbo from when i rebuilt my car from a buddy of ours. I...

I was working on my car...and after a lot of looking at a fews leaks....I noticed that..well...i need a new turbo on my car. Well i have been readlly digging the Evo 3 16G ported tuirbo....my only question is i need the TD0H5 and i have been looking and on Ebay I have seen them for like lerss...

Well I should also find out. what upgrades will help the 16G turbo EvoIII work to its maximum?

I have a 1G Eagle Talon Tsi that is almost running. I was looking around on the threads reading about different turbos I could use for my car. My goal is to hopefully upgrade and put about 300WHP to the ground. My problem is that in Alaska, my car has to pass a visual inspection during its I/M...

You say that you are assuming that all this work will be covered under warrenty. Do you actually have a copy of the warrenty? Have you done any research or asked the mechanic himself what would or would not be covered under the warrenty? By only hearing you say assume, I would guess that you...

I have a 1991 Talon TSI AWD and i was wondering....why is everything for the year car I have, for the Eclipse? There are some things for the Talon, but when you look for something for my car, it always seems to be talking about some minor modifications for the Talon and Laser. Why is that and...

well i'm sure that i have them in the right way because i believe its the intake one that has the sensor attached it the other end of it...therefor leaving the notches in it. correct me if i am wrong. Also i have been using a straight edge to try and line up the teeth but like i said its about a...

I have searched the forums on here trying to figure out something I ran into while putting on my timing belt on my rebuilt engine. The problem i came across was..when i try to line uop the timing notches on the cams...i can only get either the two i the center lined with the head or the two on...

Well when I said that I need to rebuild the head thats kind of what i ment. I know I am going to need at least 8 valves depending where the cams stopped turning at. Also I know that the cams haven't snapped. But I do not know if the cams have seized nor do I know how to check that. but either...

Man oh man are you guys going to love this. The title of this post is perfect. Well I checked for leaks and sure enough, the oil filter was loose. That solved one of my problems....but the car still wouldn't start. i put oil in it and was able to crank the engine over by hand surprisingly easy...

as soon as i get out of school tomorrow...i'll go home put the thing in the garage jack the thing up and do the things mentioned. also i will be on here postiing what i find and any questions i might have so i would hope i can still get some help. also i am soooo hoping that the engine is still...

first i'm pretty sure the rod wasn't thrown because it was silent no noises. also the oil wasn't like all of a sudden gone it dripped out at a fast rate but not at a waterfall gush. also i was still in fifth gear when i let the clutch back out. and my transmission is at the point where i...

ok i don't know what to look for or how to go about fixing this. i need all ideas i can come up with and investigate all i can...heres what happened. i was driving at about 70 miles an hour down a hill...pressed in the clutch to coast and also to slow myself down to turn. when i pressed in the...

ok i was just checking out my car today at the fred meyer store and i noticed i had what looked like a sensor unplugged. i have no idea what it is or where it goes. all i know is that its a hose attached to the turbo lines on a t piece that routes a steel line from the turbo to another hose...

ude that is an awesome thing to know. that whole start-up sequence helps a lot. but also. in the question of the H.P. goals and whether i be street or track. its going to be my daily driver on top of i want about 250 hp at the wheels and it would hopefully be just for when some guy thinks he's...

see i got into a fender bender with a minivan that got in my way so i actually need more than the door. the door was backed into two weeks later. i also need a new hood, bumper, passenger lights and covers. other than that the car is in good shape haha. but yea...i live way up here...its nice...

actually i told dad that but he decided that he wants to completely assemble this engine before we rip the old one out and put the new one in....why i don't know i usually don't second guess him. does anyone have any tips for reinstalling the new motor in the car? i would love those and it might...

haha first off i am not doing this myself....im more of the 18 yr old with the master mechanic father. and he knows his stuff man lemme tell you. i'll give you the base. basically i have the Talon and it has an engine in it...but the rods are blown. so with the car came a second engine and few...

well i have gotten pretty far in assembling my engine for my Talon TSI. now i am to the point where i don't have all the screws and bolts i need for certain peices; Water pump, Oil filter system, even the oil pan. if anyone knows where i can get these screws and bolts very easily. also there are...

yea that does make sense. those cams do look pretty beefy:p . anyways so for on the engine itself i will have all new belts and water pump seal all the goodies. the block is getting bored 40 thousandths. and i am getting the balancer elimination kit. now with the engine out of my other car. what...

well the cam was checked and there is jno need for new cams but i am still wondering about the lifters. I have heard from a couple guys in town that i should get 2nd gen lifters. what is the difference between the 2nd gen and the 3rd gen lifters?

are lifters just universal....no like prefered ones other than the 3rd gen?

well basically this car will be my daily driver and i will not be upgrading the stock turbo. the car is a manual car. and i want it to be able to keep up with my friends slightly modded wrx or smoke him either way haha:cool: but i might need cams not a deffinite thing yet though. i will be...

so i got word from the shop that everything is set to go for my block, crank, rods, and pistons. in the head i need 4 valves and from there i have a couple other things i need to do. one being i need a whole new set of lifters for my head. and the rust on the cams may just be surface but its...

so i want to get an exhaust system for my talon and i have been looking online for one and i saw a few that interested me. i am looking for a full exhaust from the manifold back. my only question is....can a 3'' exhaust fit the standard manifold or does an after market one have to be placed...
