Got my car running again for the first time in a year and took it for a drive yesterday. About 15 minutes in I started to get a clunking noise that changed in frequency with road speed, and was much more noticeable under low load and coasting. I've sheared ring gear teeth before and had the same...
Picked up my car after some work and a dyno tune yesterday and it was running flawlessly. Did a few pulls and as I was slowing down approaching a red light, it felt like someone had locked on the brakes as the car stalled out while coming to a stop. Got out and tried to push it and I couldn't...
I bought a Magnus V3 and Wilson 75mm TB to go with it when they first came out, and now that I'm finally ready to start breaking in my car I've found that the shaft leaks boost pretty bad on both sides. I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find any info as to whether or not there's...
Figured I may as well start a build journal seeing as I haven't updated my posts in the old system for a while. I've got a 97 TSi AWD that I've converted to a 2gb Eclipse, aiming for at least 600awhp on 94 + meth. Lets start with the specs:Head:
CNC milled valve cover with two -10AN vent line...
Quick update on the little bit of progress I made on my week off.Seeing as I bought such a big turbo, I figure that I need an intake manifold that can flow enough air for it. Pre-ordered one of the new magnus cast intake manifoldsGoing to be paired to a 75mm Wilson TB (as per Seann from...
Well, apparently while stripping down my engine harness I lost track of a wire that I had cut. It is the white wire from this plug specifically. If anyone knows where that wire goes to or can point me in the direction of an actual wiring harness schematic (I only have the first half of the FSM...
Here's some of what I got done over the past couple weeks.The car painted. Sorry for the tiny image, my friend/coworker so graciously finished the paint job as I was called back to work earlier than expected and, being well over 1500km away, wasn't able to do it myself. As soon as...
Finally getting around to posting something on here. Will have to do it in two parts Let me start off with the general story:I bought my Talon back in 2009, and, after having it on the road for all of 2 months, I started having issues, so I parked it, anticipating a build that winter...
My right lower ball joint separated while I was driving on Friday, so I'm now in the process of putting in all new lower lateral and control arms and upper control arms. However, the lower lateral arm bolt is completely seized in the bushing and the bushing itself actually tore when I tried to...
Well, I've done a bunch of searching and couldn't find any threads matching my problem. After I've been driving for a while and the engine is at it's normal temperature (around 1/2 way up the temp gauge), if I turn the car off and leave it for more than a few seconds, it won't start again. It...
Well, I guess I may as well make an introduction. I've been a member here since 2006, mainly lurking, learning about dsm's. Never actually ended up owning one until about a month ago though. Picked up a 97 TSi AWD for $2400 cdn. Now that I actually have one to work on I'm looking forward to...
