#1 do not do while rebuilding engine: Smoke crack.#2: don’t use a roloc disk on the surface of the block. Use a plastic razor blade to remove the old gasket material.#3: don’t do meth either.
This is definitely a helpful post, I went through the same ordeal but didn't want to deal with finding the correct seals and shipping individual tiny parts to Canada at $20/ea, so I ordered a MB526956 shaft rebuild kit from Mitsubishi instead...
You're back eh? Noice!
Comp did my head work a few years back, cut my seats with a bent pilot and didn't check afterwards even though I asked them before if they check their work with every valve and was assured they did. They sourced a new...
Nice work. Are you dealing with Competition or Piston Ring? I just dropped off my Neon cylinder heads at PR today - they did my block & crank work, and they've done family projects for decades. In case you're considering selling the ol B16G, I'm...
I don't have seats, but I have a 65mm DBW throttle body from an Outlander that bolts to stock manifolds. You'll need a pedal from any junkyard Mitsubishi.
Amayama is notorious for this, and for overcharging on shipping. If anyone can get them in North America, it's JNZ. Also look into Evo 1 or 2 pistons (don't use Evo 3), which are 8.5:1 equivalents.
They spin in different directions, so you can't just change the turbine housing between them. They also have different flanges; the Evo 4-9 is divided, but the 1-3 housing isn't.
Considering converting my Evo to 5-lug, which requires non-ABS front hubs from a 1G DSM - either FWD or AWD. Looking for quality pieces, no junk please.
I've heard from a few racers that they're pretty finnicky, and they look really floppy and awkward in all the videos I've seen of them in use. They are absolutely not for usage on a synchro box though, they shift too fast for the synchro to do...
Just doing something "to be different" is about the worst justification there is for a bad idea, especially when you don't have the know-how to do it yourself. There's no point in doing this. It's a very limited production, small displacement...
I've been a follower of G&G for a long time since the content is good and they don't take themselves too seriously, yet they're both good builders and phenomenal racers. They just have terrible ideas sometimes. The DSM/RX8 series has been...
