    Rear diff backlash adjust question

    Since I HATE when I finally find someone who had the exact same issue as me in a forum, but they never post back how the issue was resolved, I figured I'd go ahead and make my update.I received the shim kit (MB241903) and they range from .102" to .126" as seen in the picture. I definitely need...

    Rear diff backlash adjust question

    Thank you for the very detailed reply Tim. I am going to try to shim with the MB241903 kit. I am hoping this will not require the need to mess with the pinion shims. In the off chance it does, how do you remove the pinion? Is it a press fit and I would just push it out w/ the press?

    Rear diff backlash adjust question

    I'm in the middle of adding the EVO diff in my 2g housing. My issue is I have about .009" backlash (book says .004"-.006"). So obviously the answer is that I need to reshim.I see in Mitsu ASA that the shim kit I need is MB241903. What shims come with this kit? I can't seem to find the info of...

    AWD rear Axle/Knuckle/Brake Help

    Not sure if you're still looking for parts, but Miller Imports (millerimportparts.com) usually has a good selection of stuff. I was able to get the rear axles from him about a month back. He may have the knuckles too, though I'm not sure if they'd be the 2gb ones.

    I was ripped off!!

    Sounds like a pretty good deal if you ask me! Even if all you really got was a clean shell... I spent $1850 plus gas and uhaul rental, and close to 20 hours (road trip from NE Ohio to Philadelphia PA) just picking up my 2g SHELL (no engine/trans).You didn't get ripped off, you just entered...

    Starting issue. - Engine cranks but then freezes/slows

    First the quick specs - 2.4 block, 2.0 AEM Cam gears, 2.0 head, FP3x cams (Additional specs are in my profile)This is the first time trying to start the car from a brand new build. I crank it over and it cranks a few times, but then it will either stop cranking suddenly, or it will bog the...

    14b turbo oil feed line...need help please

    Yes, the above should work. I don't think you'll find one at a hardware store, they usually don't carry AN fittings. However, if you find a good diesel shop, they may have one. I had to do that last weekend, needed a metal 1/8" npt to 4AN fitting and they had one at a local diesel truck shop.

    14b turbo oil feed line...need help please

    Honestly, I'd just buy a line from extremePSI and try to sell the other line. However, that's not what you want to do. Options would be to see if the people you bought it from would allow you to return it or maybe just swap for the correct one if they also sell that one. Otherwise, you could...

    He hit all the high points. If you're looking at increasing boost w/ the boost controller, you'll need something to tune with. Don't just start twisting that little nob thinking you're making more power and not doing any damage. If you post up pics of what is and isn't there, we can help you...

    where to buy a holset hx40?

    Are you close to any diesel shops? If so, you can call them up and say you want that turbo. However, you'll need to know a lot more than just an "HX40". I was lucky when I called my local shop, the guy knew what I was trying to do and was able to help me figure out what I was really wanting...

    14b turbo oil feed line...need help please

    Are you using the given adapter seen in the picture of the line? Looks to me like a -4an fitting that gets bolted down w/ the given screws and gasket.

    I found the manual, but didn't find the harness data, so thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I am trying to just get the pinouts as I have all the wiring and misc. connectors I could need, so I can save the $20.

    Frustrating Oil Pan leak?? Why??

    Jacksonville, NC or New Bern, NC?

    To avoid starting a new thread, I thought I'd just update this one. I just moved to New Bern and am looking for some help on my 95 GSX build that needs to be relatively close to being done by Monday (July 20th). I start work that day and can't drive my g/f's car forever. If anyone is close and...

    New 4G63t Book

    I bought this one a few weeks ago. It has some very good background information on DSMs that I didn't know. I have not gotten too far into it yet, but looks like a good read.

    Project 9's No compromise !!!

    I guess the main reason I asked was because my buddy is dropping nearly 15K into his civic, and us w/ AWD platforms need to upgrade the t-case, drive shaft, rear end, and rear axles, on top of everything a FWD platform would need to run. So I was estimating about 4K more than what he will put...

    Project 9's No compromise !!!

    Well, his plan was only 700, but then with the mods he is dropping in, people in his forum were guessing closer to 800. But we all know how honda people are.... ROFL

    Project 9's No compromise !!!

    You are going to post final prices when you're done, right? Because I am very interested in what I need to start saving to compete w/ my buddies Civic. He is going to be pushing nearly 800Hp and I can't let a Civic beat an Eclipse!

    coolant issue, this will make you scratch your heads?!?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the there is no thermostat, the coolant will just continue to flow, right? So maybe what you should do is remove that new thermostat, put the thermostat housing back together, remove the cap and pump water into the housing. At the same time, remove the lower...

    Thermostat is broke and is not one of those fail-safe ones. It is broken closed. I had this happen in my GST. Amazingly enough, it did not overheat and blow the HG. I was doing freeway driving, so it kept the temp down till I got to my apartment, and my overflow was boiling!! Change that out...

    I just realized I don't have one of these. Just to double check, I have a 95 GSX with a 6 bolt swap. I still use the "7bolt" plate because it mounts to the tranny, correct? IE part number - MD191171

    mitsubishi starion..

    Not sure the specifics of the transmissions, I thought you could use the same one with a special adapter that I think Buschur has. But I agree that these are NOT easy swaps and require extensive modifications. It is a common swap because we all love our 4g63's! :D

    Oil on Sparkplugs, should I be concerned?

    Concerned? Depends on your definition of concerned. I would say the car will continue to run, but you'll have to keep an eye on the oil consumption assuming it is burning or leaking oil at a moderate rate. If you'd like to have this car run for a long time and/or would like to get the best...
