Timing was the first thing we checked, Mechanical timing is perfect. How do you check ignition timing? (Does that mean making sure the spark plugs in correct order?)
for a 1g 6-bolt 4g63 TurboJust had the head resurfaced, valve job done, and intake valves opened up a little. Now having massive mid, high and WOT powerloss. Idles fine. 12lbs boost no matter what the controller is set at. Any ideas? :dsm::beatentodeath:
I searched and found one thread about this problem on a 98 GST:confused: I will try what they did to fix it, but thats a big age difference and I want to get some other ideas rolling in.Just finished swapping a good 6-bolt out of a 93 GST into a 94 GST body. Nothing too crazy... OMG Motor...
I rebuilt my 7-bolt a few weeks ago, primed exactly how you did, but also with valve cover off to make sure oil was squirting. Even after priming I had 0 oil pressure on first crank-up for about 10-20 seconds. Scared me, but it finally jumped to 25 at idle.Agreeing with boosted86: If you...
True, I don't want to bench race either. I can understand the varying HP gains/loss on different cars. I stand corrected (Intake manifold) thanks for the answer though.I don't trust Ebay horsepower ratings very much, but If I must I guess I will. Don't have much else to go by.Thanks...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could not find any thread of its kind.If it exist, I am looking for an index or a good reference chart of horsepower gain or loss of aftermarket bolt-ons compared to stock. Example: What is the horsepower gain of a FMIC compared to the stock side...
Figured it out :barf: In no way did I think it was a rod due to the such HIGH pitch of the knock almost like a tap. Pulled oil pan .... and sure enough rod cap and nuts were in there. Looked up and seen the poor rod bent like a horseshoe. #4 rod nuts backed off and dropped the cap and bent the...
k, also at same time of all this tapping, the idle got extremely high in the 2500 range and is confusing me alittle... and I checked for jumped timing and its good.
Just rebuilt my 7 bolt 4g63T. Resurfaced crank,rods,caps and all new bearings. Put new oil in after rebuild and let idle and drove for a combined of maybe an hour then changed oil and filter again. Soon after second oil change top end started tapping lightly while driving, pushed clutch in...
What exactly is involved in adjusting the clutch on my 2g GST. The clutch manufacturer recommends so-called 'Critical' adjustments at 500 and 1500 miles or clutch failure could result and so on.
Thanx, Now, say I spend the money to get them coated, In everyones opinon, will they hold up quality-wise like other coated steel headers that are readily available everywhere? AND what kinda of performance LOSS or GAIN will I expect over stock manifold? I ask this because I really...
Thanx Mitsu2, I'm interested in the pics and how you got the ceramic coated ones. I have more faith in the coated than these, for the reason given by tkelly27.tkelly27: I was wondering about that also, i will do some research.Supa Dexta : nice
PaceSetter Black Painted Header 1989 - 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0L 4G63 Part#: 70-1225Anyone have or have 'installed' pics of these Gloss Black Headers from Pacesetter? I don't know about yall but they are the first of their kind that I have seen. I would like to see them installed on a...
Just what I have been thinking. I have had my eye on building/stroking a 6 bolt after I trash this piece 7 bolt. I am going to go ahead and get my 7 bolt goin, drive it till dies and then swap it when I get the 6 bolt built.
Get this sh*t. Put the freshly turned crank in the block yesterday. Set the crank bearing cap in and torqued down, left the rod caps loose. Crank was pretty hard to turn, (scratched head) torqued rod caps down, crank will not turn at all. Called the shop that turned it, come to find out they...
My plans right now are to keep the guts stock and get it running. Considering stroker kit way later. I had the crank resurfaced to OEM specs, got new rod, main and crank bearings. All other surfaces are flawless except for that #3 crank journal. The #3 rod surface was amazingly good, The...
Peace a cake:beatentodeath: Besides having to take every-last-thing off the driver side of the motor, I don't think it was too bad pulling motor less the tranny. Got it out, spun bearing # 1. I am going to replace all rod bearing and main bearing, Should I get the wrist pins also?
Thanks, I started pulling everything out before I read this, but I am pretty much down to unbolting the block from the tranny. I see those 14mm bolts, I would like to leave the tranny in also, am I gonna have to hassle with a shaft or anything or will the motor simply lift right out after...
I'm thinkin it's probably the best idea to just yank the motor now while I have the time. 175000 on the block and head. I would just feel better doing that than just fixing each little thing as it happens. Can someone point me toward a good walkthrough of a motor removal. I want to do as...
Pulled Plugs and still no spin. Plug on cyl. #3 had a trace of oil on the end of it. Humm.Yep, a buddy of mine said the same thing, all belts have been removed. EXCEPT THE BALANCE SHAFT BELT!. I will check that asap. Someone told me to just cut it off. Pretty much useless? Other than...
Sorry for the lengthy thread, but just wanting everyones TWO CENTS on possible causes, before I pull the entire motor and rebuild.Just finished replacing leaky head gasket, almost broke timing belt, and balance shaft belt yesterday. Started on the second crank. Was running better than...
Might a dumb question, but I recently had a timing belt split in half (longways) on me and while I'm in the process of replacing it I am going to replace all gaskets and water pump and what not. I am being asked what block I have to match the gaskets set. Simply, how do i determine what...
Actually, I have researched and found a loop hole. I live on the border of two neighboring counties of which I pay taxes for both. One is emissions county and the other is not. I will simply file for the transfer title in the NON-emissions county that which I pay taxes. Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I had a shop that would do that until last year. Laws changed and have to inspect in county of residence. But, now that you have opened my eyes, I have a good idea of what shops to hit that might help me out. thanks
95 GST, sm16G, No Cat and running a little on the rich side. Should I even attempt inspecting it? If no, what should I do to make it passable quick. DOT says car has to be inspected in my county within 10 days , in order to complete transfer of title. My first thoughts are to have cat...
MERKLES and DSM PWR, CHECK BOOST CONTROLLERI HAD exact problem with mine. 16g with stock injectors and ecu. Fuel cut at about 20psi, rpms stuck at 35 to 4500, engine sputter real bad, running rich. Had a bad Manual Boost Controller. Swapped with a buddies Greddy controller and fixed...
Nevermind, I got desperate and released some pressure out of the high side with the motor running and A/C on, the compressor stopped kicking in and out after I released a good amount of r134. Conclusion = Overcharging the system is not hard to do. Still scratching head because it had these...
Had EXACT same problem with my 95 GST right after I bought it. Bad Boost Controller. Switched controllers with a buddy who had a Greddy controller and instantly fixed problem. I hooked up the boost lines factory and also fixed the problem until I could get a better controller. Try just...
Found zero other post that helped with this problem. When I turn on the A/C in the car, the compressor clutch kicks in and out, nonstop. Suspected Low R134, charged and still have the problem. Next suspect, Pressure cycling switch, O'reillys computer doesn't show the car to have one...

Sorry to butt in, but im a new member and it wont allow me to post a new thread yet. I am running a small 16g with stock injectors. From what I have been reading and comparing symptoms, I am having very bad (fuel cut) when rpms reach 4000 or so and boost hits 15psi. I get good hard...
