If you have bad alternator or bad batery relay can make this dimmer i have this problem with bad alternator. Check your voltage when the engine's working. Normal with new good alternator and batery it's 13,9v.

Damn how did you make this !? you drive with out filter !? It's better to take new turbo. I buy garrett 60 trim from ebay with same shaft play. And the core price 750$ from slowboy racing. That's very hard for rebuild.

Don't buy any chip clutch kit from ebay, like XTD,F1 or eclutchmaster. With this you can have only problems, and you can broke your tranny. I recommend ACT2100 or ACT2600 sprung disk.

I have 2 trick flow filter on my car fuel and oil. Work fine no problems.

I never had problem like this. I know some people who run with non recirculating bov have this problem. But i never have it, i don't know why :D

I run with ACT 2600 presure plate and 6 puck disk with my 60trim with out any sliping :) I Highly recommended 2600 ACT clutch. :thumb:

If you have chip ebay clutch they make this problem.I have alot of problem with XDR and F1 and eclutchmaster.Just try to adjust you shifter cable braket unter the hood,or you can try to put gear on reverse with out shiftercable. You can test your tranny only on reverse if it's work fine your...

Check your shifter cable bracket i have same problem from 2 to 3 gear, and reverse.

About STAGE 2 RACING CLUTCH KIT 450hp this clutch can't hold 450HP it's slip like shit. Little more better than F1 Stage 3 and XDR stage 3.....

I have friend with same problem. With ebay 2100 ACT clutch.....

Nice work :thumb:

I use that when i install my safc 2 it's very easy.http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2253/wodk4nda5nnm0mtnkzmqzmxwt2.jpg

I have gone though a lot including NOLOGy and so far I have to say the best performance and pricewise would be NGK. NGK all the way !!

Its a good kit. Its quality if thats what you are asking. ALso the price is right. Same price at slowboyracing and other sites. Dont forget the Balnce shaft elimanor kit, new oil pump,water pump and gaskets. Dont just slap it on and call it a day. Do it once do it right. Since 2.3 are usually...

So you are saying that its better to put it on the hot side, the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler then the cold one ( intercooler to TB). Hmmm, because everyone seems to be liking the stock location and I have it flanged on the hot side.

So I have the Type RFL blow off valve and I will be venting it. There are a lot of posts conserning how loud it is and so on. I was thinking, doesnt the location of the bov determine how loud it is. I mean if its like the stock one next to the TB or if you put it, next to the intercooler on the...

Wow thats a lot of things going wrong really fast for you. Nice you still love the DSM, just keep it reliable.

I used to see one around here once or twice. Last I heard, he burned down at the track. Becareful and it would make a nice sleeper atleast ( if you turbo it that is :).

Keep GS non turbo and use it as a RELIABLE daily driver because after you start moding the GSX it wont be reliable at all :). GSX tranny in good condition $400-500 not shipped. You will need a clutch,flywheel, tranny shifter cables and other little things.

It can be done BUT how much knowledge do you have and how good are you with fabrications. To me it looks better if you dont buy this engine and buy a Eclipse 4g63T because it would a much more easier to drop in. EVO engine is not hard to put in, you just have to have the proper tools for...

Well since I have a stroker I can tell you will spool the turbo noticibly faster. When I was breaking in the engine, I used a Big 16G and it maxed out on boost by 3000-3500rpms. My friend has a 2.0 and when I told him he laughted. Then I launched it for him and now he is a believer. I didnt...

Turbos go bad. I had 2 blow on me. If it eats oil you will know, take off intake and check it, should be oily or atleast some shaft play. Rebuild kits are common, my friend just rebuild his with ebay no brand and so far he beats on it and no problemo.

This is a good deal if you ask me. 2k for a Talon and it looks pretty good. Only thing that worries me is that he says 20K on rebuild engine and then tells you its perfect for a 6bolt swap..... why swap engine if the one inside is rebuilded. But defenitly check out the car.

Hi, I have a 2.3L Slowboy stroker and it finally ran. Except it idles at 4-5K. I looked and I noticed the TPS is turned the other way around, yet the safc2 is showing 0% and when I press the gas slightly it raises the percentages. Yet I think its the TPS thats causing the high idle. It idles at...

Umm I am confused when you said that the ISC can be misplugged with another sensor. I am pretty sure you cannot mistake the ISC connector with a another one.

Sorry but I dont have the throttle cable connected yet since it broke when old engine was getting removed. So I use little palte the cable connects to give it gas. Also the screw that controls idle rpms is all the way in giving it more gas but still it wont idle. I will record a movie with my...

Thats the MAP sensor. I have it disconnected since I havea 1G intake manifold because of the larger runners. I have spark and I have fuel. Spark wires are connected properly. Could the ISC cause this problem.

Wow I am not alone. Except I start my engine and died right away now. I also have the same things as you disconnected and remove (ac, coolant map etc.. Is your Knock sensor and CAS connected. Take out the line that goes to the fuel rail, put a bottle carefully there and check if you have fuel...

It revs because of the power steering pump using engine power to assist your turning the wheels. The idle being rough however, what do you mean, the rpms drop down to 600rpms or so, or is it normal 750rpms but the engine is shaking alittle. Just be a little more spicific about the rough idle...

Just did a comrpession check. Its 148 150 150 145. I am out of ideas. When I start the car it also made a loud poping nose from the exhaust. I am thinking its because I have been cranking and fuel. Also spark plugs were very wet in fuel. Any ideas ?

Well, I redid the timing. It is 100% perfect. Everything is lining up correctly and I checked 3 times with a ruler and all and its perfect. Of course the car still has the same symptoms. I start it, revs to 3K then dies. Every sensor is connected, everything I have double checked and this piece...

Or that. :). I dont want to start a debate but I agree with you, if you have money do what Talesin is saying. If you are tight on budged - Ebay.

For guys looking for clean used Japanese engines and transmissions here is a list of the So Cal companies and some additional nation wide locations that import them. Prices vary a lot between them, for the most part you get what you pay for. Between them all, usually two or three will have turbo...

Great deal, for that much money you can hardly find a 1G shell in worst condition then that around here. Now its time to mod it. DSMs are money pits, but what can I say... BOOST is addictive :).

FMIC for sure. It will get rock chips and all and will kinda look ugly in a couple months but its efficient and also looks nice filling that bumper hole. Besides, why keep the sidemount when FMIC are cheap. SSAC makes a pretty cheap FMIC setup for 1Gs and I think a lot of people have bought them...

OK guys, I see you all have made some good points but I believe the truth really is this. Most of these engine are around really around 50k miles since the law in Japan about emissions is really really strict. Some are from wreckage and some are from fire but most are just out of cars that were...

Well with the shorter wire it fires up, with the longer wire it just turns and turns but wont crank. Also, on 2G the AC is lower then the CAS so the longer wire goes to the AC and the shorter to the sensor. I am dirty as a pig right now since I am doing the timing. I hope she fires up and runs ok.

Your car defenitly needs tunning. Replace the sensor which is at fault. Also I see that you have no modifications listed in your profile. What is your fuel system setup. Injectors,fuel pump, what do you use to tune the fuel system with ?

Same problem with mine. I could feel the AC blowing cold air and helping me loose what it felt like 200hp (not that I have even that much ). So I took the AC off. But think about this, it is a 4 cylinder car. My moms Jetta, when I turn the AC on, basiclly the car cannot even get enough speed to...

It could be the seal thats on the crank but I doubt it. I think its from around the oil housing oil pressure unit area. Where all the oil filter is. Defenitly a better pic needed though since this one is way blurry.

Sorry for posting again,. for some reason it would not let me edit my last post. Its a 7 bolt stroker. Also, the sensor on the head, next to the TB is connected properly. But the CAS ( crank angle sensor) I looked and its the same connector that goes into the AC. I have no AC so the connector...

Timing is off. I check 5 times. Local shop did the timing belt and its off 1 tooth for sure. The bottom crank and oil pump line up, when you look at the cam gears they are 1- maybe looks like a half tooth off. I double checked with a local DSM friend who knows his stuff and he confirmed timing...

Yes, I have to give it a lot of gas to keep it running. It wont Idle. I might have forgotten or misplugged a sensor but I am pretty sure they are all connected properly. Do any one have a diagram of the 4g63 sensors. Thanks

Well hello. since this is my first post I will try to explain everything and answer all questions. I just installed a SBR stroker in my 1997 GSX. Everything is nice and all the sensors have been connected ( properly I think to my knowledge). Car turns on and runs but RPM's are at 5K and if you...
