I purchased a reman rack and pinion assembly from Detroit axle back in early 2019.It started leaking shortly after install. I got around to pulling it to try a rebuild for myself this time, and once I took it apart I was horrified at what I found.The grease in the rack was severely...
You can run speed density with a flashable "black box" ecu, or convert to an evo viii ECU. Both easily reversible to stock and you won't be married to your MAF.I have the same "bolt-on only" policy on my car, everything must be easily returned to stock. Luckily its easier on a 1G since I can...
Stock will be 7-8psi. I also recommend starting there and controlling boost either with the ECU or a manual boost controller. That way you can get your tune ironed out with low boost before you begin to crank it up. You don't want to go straight to 20psi with an unknown tune.The computer...
Thank you! I appreciate these, I realized I had basically no pictures of the car before paint when I sat down to make this thread.Good luck on that one owner talon, not many of those left these days!
Thanks! It's been a fun project, just what I need to soak up all my free time, haha.Its getting a little boring now that it doesn't need a bunch of work, it just drives. The last thing on my list is to build a bigger side mount intercooler, I've had no luck finding a used one.I would like...
The supra intercooler doesn't fit. I don't know why this is brought up in every thread about SMIC's. There is one how-to on how to mount one on a 2G, and its an unholy mess of bailing wire and duct tape that made the car look like some tweaker drives it, with the bumper cover all deformed and...
I just ordered myself a TIG rig and plan to fab myself a 5-6" thick SMIC for my 1G. I'm interested to see how much interest this gets. If I'm half decent at making them then I might just turn out a batch.
I would have just started it with whatever was in the engine, then changed it and ran. You aren't really accomplishing anything when you attempt to flush it. Modern engine oil is fantastic at keeping everything clean on its own.I would never put transmission fluid in my engine.
I rebuilt my pedal last fall. New bronze bushing from JNZ and I welded a new arm to the shaft. It is holding so far. It is a big job, it took me an entire day.You probably won't have any luck with the aftermarket cylinders. Mine never worked right and the master eventually failed after a...
Is this the stock actuator? Or aftermarket? I'm maxed out around 28psi with a holset actuator on a TD05H 20G (built by Justin, not a China special). Gate pressure was 16-18psi.I cannot get any more boost from it
They are getting rare, as is the case with everything DSM. They were only offered for 2 years of DSMs and the handful of GVR4's that were imported.7 bolts are fine if you build them right.
