    Timing Belt disaster and blown engine? Need help asap plz

    Yes, it certainly will. Don't drive it, don't even start it. Doing so will only compound the damage (Again, this is ASSUMING that this guy didn't time the engine correctly and pistons were / are slapping valves.) Take her to a competent mechanic.

    Timing Belt disaster and blown engine? Need help asap plz

    Assuming that the pistons have contacted the valves (And this is only an assumption) No. When pistons contact valves, very, very, very rarely do you escape without bent valves. Said valves are going to have to be replaced.

    Timing Belt disaster and blown engine? Need help asap plz

    Incorrect. The 420a IS most definitely an interference engine.

    Please help identify these pistons in shortblock i purchased

    They're stock NPR's as I recall. I *believe* the .50 means a .020 overbore. But check them out with a caliper to be sure.

    Looking for interior parts

    If you're looking for replacement trim pieces in CF, you're going to be disappointed. Not a lot of vendors offer direct-fit replacement pieces in carbon. Those that do tend to charge a pretty penny for them. Now if you're talking about those vinyl stickers that just apply to your existing panels...

    2G painting interior

    Go SEM for everything. Prep is the biggest thing here. Degrease, scrub, fine sand, then use Plastic Prep. Pay particular attention to the pieces that you brush against, etc... Give those multiple coats.Also, their Landau Black matches up to our stock black trim pretty well, I used it for all...

    Lightweight lithium batteries

    Except that heat isn't cumulative. It would still be a 2000º fire, assuming that figure is correct. 64000ºF = 35819.9K... And that's hotter than the sun's Chromosphere. Or 5x hotter than the sun's Photosphere. That being said....OP - You're better off losing 10 lbs yourself and sticking with a...

    Upgrades???

    If you're looking to make 400 on the ground, I'd look to a 20g before a 16g.

    2G Gauge cluster CAD / template

    The point behind this is to make a functional "custom" gauge cluster. I've seen several one-offs, and simple flat panels, but nothing that I've seen had an OEM look or finish. That's what I'm going to create. Then I'll share that template with everyone else. I'm not trying to turn a profit, just...

    Auto-X in a new car...

    My times were middle-of-the-road for my group. I was really concentrating on cornering properly and maintaining a clean racing line. (I may have looked at the tach and speedo once.) The car was just incredible. Planted, and extremely predictable. I've driven 600HP+ Corvettes, and a handful of...

    Auto-X in a new car...

    Got to take an F430 out for an Auto-X this afternoon:Granted this wasn't in my DSM, but you show me one person who'd pass up the opportunity to take one of these through the cones. Amazing experience. My only other exposure to middle-engine, rear drive was an older MR2, which doesn't really...

    2G Gauge cluster CAD / template

    I'm wondering if anyone has a 2g gauge cluster mockup in CAD format, or some other template thereof. I didn't find much via search, so I wanted to ask before I spent the time getting it drawn up in CAD.

    Splash guards

    ChryslerPartsDirect. They can at least put you in touch with a dealer that has stock on-hand. (Just make sure you search for a 98 Talon TSi) I think I paid $35 for the passenger side, and $70 for the driver's side, shipped.

    What is this car worth / Is this car a good deal?

    175k, multiple accidents, salvage title, and questionable gearbox... A few hundred bucks is likely the best possible scenario.

    2G Need New Front Bumper, Some Questions

    It's been my experience that the Certi-fit bumpers don't fit all that well. I had one on another 2G, it didn't line up very well, and the gaps between the bumper and the headlamps were very noticable.I bought an OEM one about 8 months ago. I think all told it was around $220 from the dealer...

    420a turbo swap

    Forgive me, I'm not trying to judge; But why in the hell would you dump all of that money to build your engine, if you aren't willing to pony up the roughly $300 it would take to get running on an MSII setup, running just an FMU instead?You're cheaping out on the one major component you don't...

    1G *NEED HELP* Turbo/exhaust

    It depends on your end goals for the car. Do you want to keep it close to stock, or are you trying to make a lot more power? That's going to dictate what turbos people recommend to you. You can probably get ahold of a 14b for next to nothing, same with a stock O2 housing and downpipe, if you...

    Anyone thinking of buying SRS full exhaust? Don't do it!

    Interesting. I have the e-Bay special SRS catback on my 2G GST, and had no fitment issues. I suppose like anything aftermarket on e-Bay, it's hit and miss.

    Reputable shops for rebuilt heads.

    I use Clearwater Cylinder Head. But they're local to me. Shipping back and forth to Canada may end up biting you. I've bought rebuilt heads from them a couple of times. $335 picked up, with warranty.Forgot to add - No core required.

    2G new turbo need help!!!!

    If this isn't a TREMENDOUS red flag to you, I fear you have no idea what you're getting yourself into."he was running too much boost and the pistons were hitting the block" Boost pressure doesn't cause something like that. Rods don't stretch, they break. "the guy has taken every turbo part or...

    2nd gen 420a help

    I would look at the IAC first, probe it with a multi-meter to ensure proper voltage at idle.Also, any CEL's?

    This will bolt right back in right..?

    Nah. New wrist pin and rings, you'll be fine. ;)This begs the question: How did you manage that?

    420a Turbo CEL and overheating

    I can't say with 100% certainty that it will fix the problem, but every little bit of heat you can dissipate or mitigate will help.I don't want you to take that as "Go buy these parts because that'll fix it."I'd start with finding out exactly what your coolant temps are after warm-up and...

    420a Turbo CEL and overheating

    Any sort of thermal mitigation on your turbo and associated piping? When I had my RS with a Hahn kit, I started to overheat until I wrapped the DP and threw a blanket on the turbo. Noticed at least a 50º drop in under-hood temps after that.A more efficient radiator will help, but if it's in...

    Need help on coolant idea

    You could put huge AN or NPT connections on the ends of the pipe / neck and run a big flexible line, I've seen that done before. It can't be cheap though.

    He probably needs to talk to a mod about a freelancer tag then. This is borderline hawking.

    Welded Manifold to Turbo ? Haha

    When I had my skittle, I hated the turbofold design. Never thought someone would try to make another one intentionally. :P

    2G Ummm I tried to search but cruise control delete...what cable?

    Normally, you'd use a 2g non-cruise cable. I'm not sure if that's going to be an issue with a 1G TB.

    1G timing belt broke at 75mph.

    I notice you said you did a "budget build" did this shop re-use an old timing belt / tensioner?Remanufactured heads can be had for less than $500.

    2G Bad FRP??

    I'd be looking for exhaust / boost leaks first. Factory regulators rarely just "go bad."

    Without more information, no one is going to be able to diagnose your issue. We can only work with what you give us.

    2G FMIC Piping?

    The universal piping kits on eBay are OK, if you've got access to someone who can bead them for you, once you've cut them to size.

    Can We Play CD-RW's?

    If the OP is asking about audiobooks, I seriously doubt that sample rate is of that much concern.
  42. FalleN4ng31

    Can We Play CD-RW's?

    Mine never read Memorex CDRW's. But I didn't keep the factory CD player for long.There's always the option of an FM transmitter for your phone or other device of choice. CD's are a waste of money, IMO.

    What do you think you will go to when the 4g63 is a dead platform? (think past Evo)

    I wish you the best of luck. I've been casually looking for one for a few years, now. I've yet to see one that the owner isn't asking the sky for. You can find a Gen 2 Viper for less than a lot of MKIV's.

    Brakes lock up easily

    Here's big problem number one. A leak in a closed hydraulic system is a bad, bad thing. First order of business is to fix the leaks.
  45. FalleN4ng31

    Newbie, am i getting screwed.?

    Walk away. If your engine builder isn't going to warranty his work, then he isn't standing behind his work. That's a huge red flag, IMO.

    Products the DSM crowd would like to see made

    Upper window weather stripping. It blows my mind that no one ever sourced a set to make reproductions from, seeing as how practically every 2G still on the road needs new ones.

    What do you think you will go to when the 4g63 is a dead platform? (think past Evo)

    With eight cylinders, shouldn't it have at least two turbos? :sneaky:
