  1. Painting steering knuckles, how hot do they get?

    Regular paint will be fine and the tone ring wont matter much. Just clean it all really good
  2. Re using piston rings

    I've never really ran into a ridge issue with 4g motors. The majority of them have a large amount of carbon built up at the top I'd scrub it off before knocking the pistons out. Then depending on if the pistons came out without breaking rings then check ring tension. If the two check out dingle...
  3. Pick my new mig welder for me

    Yeah I get that that's why I included my experience with the Hobart 140. It's made by miller uses all miller consumables and parts. I've been using it for 9yrs or better and have only had to change the torch liner. Parts are cheap and available everywhere.
  4. Pick my new mig welder for me

    Well I think if you read what's been posted you'll have a good idea. I still like and use my handler 140 I love it with .025 wire its great on sheet metal.
  5. Cam gears, i got them powder coated, made mistake

    I have stripped PC with aircraft stripper also no issues. But I really wanted to bump this for a good write up on the zinc yellow chromate that is awesome.
  6. 1G Another engine build, more problems

    We are talking about oil pressure
  7. Garage Painters....

    This question will always have different answers depending on who is asked. When I painted mine I built a booth out of PVC and plastic sheeting along with some 2x4s in places it needed extra strength.Mine was a somewhat down draft cross flow designed sorts with 3 box fans on the top of one...
  8. 1G Another engine build, more problems

    I always use assembly lube in the pump and crank it till I get pressure on the guage usually only takes about 10 seconds or less.
  9. wheels sticking out further on one side ?

    Is it lowered? Fwd 1gs use a track bar to locate the rear axle when you lower the car it essentially makes the bar longer causing one side to poke out further.
  10. 1G Precision torque converter

    Well never mind w4a33.com has a great article about his kit. When I change converters that's the route I'll be going. I'd rather not gamble on the sinister seems like the first time you have an issue your right to the price of a j Bush unit.
  11. 1G Precision torque converter

    Nice I was more interested in reading up on the kit first just to get an idea of what it's all about. I probably won't be swapping converters till next year after I get to that point.
  12. 1G Precision torque converter

    Does Jeff Bush have a site ? I haven't found any for him, I've checked his Facebook page but can't seem to find anything on his products.
  13. 1G Cylinder wall scratches

    Those walls definitely need an over bore. Itll take a machine shoo to determine how much. Dont buy pistons till the work is done.
  14. 1G New old stock 6 bolt porn

    1g drip rails, found new on Ebay about 10yrs ago and saved them till just this last year I finally put them on the car after finishing the paint job.
  15. 1G New welder....

    I love my ahp but when and if it does die I'll be getting either an htp or an everlast. I like how the cheap Chinese welders have the extra knobs and controls so you can fine tune them. I almost got a Hobart tig but I didn't like how you just had a setting for whatever you were welding without...
  16. 1G 1g front radiator support mod

    Nice I definitely plan on doing this in the next month or so
  17. Head gasket replcement on my $600 mitsu gst

    None there's no special tools needed to time the engine. You don't need to remove the engine either. Just pull the head off get a good sized plastic tote and a gallon of mineral spirits and some cheap bathroom scrub brushes and clean up the head in that. If it's got oil in the cooling system I'd...
  18. Importance of tensioner arm

    Yep I recently went through this my belt was eating itself and after inspecting everything the arm and mount was at fault.
  19. symptoms of a bad o2 sensor.......

    Look for soot around joints. But with an exhaust leak I'd guess you would be going lean not rich. Your symptoms seem like a boost leak. The only sensor that is going to come into play to cause your overly rich concern is the mas. At wot the oxygen sensor gets disregarded and the ecu does fueling...
  20. Street Build 1G Build: Return of the DSMer!

    I know the feeling. I've been restoring mine for 2years and finally got it finished only to pop an oil cooler hose and make glitter oil. Luckily it just beat up the rod bearings but now I get to take it out and do it again. Only this time I'm going to put my smaller cams in. The gsc s2 are just...
  21. symptoms of a bad o2 sensor.......

    Old thread I'll go out on a limb and say that he wont respond. For your issue you need to start with the basics. Boost leak test and a proper go over of your ignition system. I was fighting a lean breaking up issue with mine that turned out to be 2 of my brand new plugs had hairline cracks in...
  22. Street Build 1G Build: Return of the DSMer!

    I'm hoping that you find an answer to your injector issue as I was having a similar problem with my 1600s. I'm using five0 black ops 1600s which are bosch. I put in all the data that came with them and the only way I could get them to idle with fuel trims normal was either extremely high mas...
  23. 1G Building a Shortblock 101

    What I do is run it to temp for about 20mins on first start up then drop the oil. Drive it varying load for about 50 to 100 miles drop again. Then 500 then 1k then since my cars barely get driven I usually just change the oil every season. I'm lucky to put 1k on it a year. But definitely inspect...
  24. Larger injectors

    You wont make any more power changing injectors. There's way more that goes into it. You get more power from bigger injectors when your putting more air into the engine like with forced induction. Then you're going to need a way to compensate for the injector size with some way of tuning the ecu.
  25. Turbo oil return line pan studs vs bolts/crush washer

    I've always just used the OEM gasket and flange head bolts with a light coat of rtv under the bolt heads never had an issue.
  26. ? For you manifold Builders

    Bigger the gob better the job lol
  27. Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil on sale at amazon

    Nice just ordered 4 cases for 12.11 damn awesome deal
  28. 1G Need some help boys....

    He was probably extremely pumped how easily the trans went on lol
  29. 1G Need some help boys....

    Looks like an evo hub
  30. 1G New manifold Build....

    Projects like that always sound fun in your head lol I just finished a turbo ls build and the exhaust fab was a pain in the ass.
  31. 2G Sheared bolt in hot side

    easy outs only work when the bolt isn't seized.
  32. Street Build She's A Keeper

    I like it good clean mods. Trimming the core support does nothing to detract from your core. Good job on keeping your mods tasteful so far.
  33. 1G Engine

    Youd need to do a leak down test to verify rings but probably. I'd check your pcv valve also.
  34. Help me pick a turbo

    All turbos need to be properly fed and drained. Dont buy the -10 drain kits they are under 1/2 inch in the fittings plus the fittings make them a pain to work with. I usually just buy a 3/4 hose adapter off the turbo and use 3/4 hose to pipe adapters into the pan. Way cheaper and if you tap or...
  35. 2G Xona Rotor Turbochargers

    Just a thought but how about an adapter plate from t4 to t3?
  36. Modern Turbos Discussion

    Yeah I've been on there, there's just a different mantality over there. You also have to wade through so much b.s. to find anything.
  37. Modern Turbos Discussion

    I'd like to see someone running a new g series from Garrett. The g550 and g660 look awesome and the compactness is very cool.
  38. 1G Fixing the s90 throttle body

    Glad to see your perseverance. I for one would probably be interested in a fix up kit if you get one going. I get it I dont need a bigger tb but damn it I kinda want one lol. That's kinda the mantality of a lot of car enthusiasts upgrades. I really like the look of the s90 over stock and I've...
  39. ZR4 (RIP) to VR4 Build...

    Prime example of a project that is never finished, great work. My favorite part is the engine bay looks photoshopped lol
  40. 1G 91 Gst weird idle

    Yes even if you wire in a different switch your still going to need a properly adjusted throttle stop. I went round trying to get my idle right and it was due to me just setting the idle switch to where it closes not putting the proper preload on it when closed. Then also verify that your...
  41. 1G Looking for a different exhaust manifold...

    That's a copy of the old south Florida performance manifold. Try and find an old hafe manifold. I've been using the sbr 2nd copy for years without issue.
  42. fuel cut on 12psi on EVO 3 16G?

    It doesn't cut fuel when you hit fuel cut it cuts spark.
  43. fuel cut on 12psi on EVO 3 16G?

    Most of the time it's a boost leak. The ecu doesn't care about boost pressure it looks at what the maf airflow. If your getting fuel cut or more accurately spark cut at 11 to 12 psi it's more likely that there is a leak after the maf. What are you using to compensate for the 550s?
  44. 2G Vacuum piping issue and no old oil pressure gauge in pump?

    Dump that t they are prone to fail and dump all your oil. I use a 4 an to 1/8 bsp to 4an then run a braided 4 an line from that to my aftermarket senders. It looks like you have an unused 1/8 port pointing down that you could take the plug out of for the dummy light. Also the light flickering...
  45. 2G Noise at 2700rpms and above

    Take all the belts off one at a time and check. It almost sounds like something rubbing on the front cover. Hard to say but definitely sounds like something in the accessory drive. I've had harmonic pulleys make noises like that when they start slipping.
  46. 20G with crazy manifold/WG/02

    Its easily fixable but at the end of the day it's all knock off junk.
  47. Street Build Midengine 4G63

    Last 10% takes 90% of the time
  48. Has anyone ordered and installed a Silicone Hose kit from Amazon?

    As far as clamps go the constant tension clamps are the way to go especially on stock plastic radiators. Then it's just worm gear clamps I'd never use t bolt clamps they suck. Ams had a great article on their site comparing t bolts to worm gear. I've always used worm gear clamps on intercooler...
  49. 20G with crazy manifold/WG/02

    OP that's some nice weld porn.
