I start my car every 45 minutes to make sure the oil pump is always primed. One time I fell asleep for an hour and had to take the timing belt off to prime the oiling system. Never again…Joking aside. Don't overthink it people. Enjoy your car. It'll be ok.
Kevin,I want to thank you for making the auto's a reality for this platform. I've bought many/all of your parts and applied them with great success and enjoyment. I had an AWD 1g (I never should have sold) that I bracket raced with a 10.80 dial for years. It was literally under $4000 for the...
The Big 16g IMO is a good 115-120mph in the quarter turbo. This is the BEST street turbo for a street 4g63 DSM in my opinion. I know people have gone 130+ with these. I know the history and tricks that were required to go that fast. I'm speaking in general street car and street available fuel...
NTK is the sensor side of NGK. I have the NTK temp sensor in question in hand. I can not tell the difference between the original in my car.I am very happy with the ISC I got from standard motor products. You do you.
Not sure if Kurt will respond, so if anyone knows how he did a mighty max rear into a 1g fwd without cutting it up, let me know. I don’t have the time, but it is something I’ve always wanted to do. My assumption is that he uses the mounting points for the trailing arms that houses the stock beam...
So much for a thread about 1g knock sensors. If someone starts a new thread or revives an old one about 2g knock sensors I’ll share how to get an oem evo8 Mitsubishi one.Try to stay on topic, for people who may search in the future.I’m going to try to find the time to test my original and...
I don’t use it, but it is good oil. Most formulas have a lot of zinc which can be important for some applications.I use Valvoline VR1 because it is convenient but would move over to driven if it were easier to find in the weight my engine likes.This guy provides some numbers and explanations...
You got it.The point of the buffer circuit is to make the wideband output stronger so it can better control the voltage seen at ECU pin 15. The pin is not floating because it is being pulled up to 5 volts DC by the 10,000 ohm internal resistor and the wideband output has to work against the...
Loved the latest video. DSM crew showing up in force showing how to put together a car correctly.Does anyone know what kind of digital torque wrench is being used on the bottom end install. Looks like a kobolt 3/8” model? I’m in the market to replace my 25 year old craftsman clicker model.
You need a power transistor to run the coils. If you go to a COP that has the power transistor/ignitor built in then you could direct fire from the ecu if the Link ECU has the power to run said COP.You don't technically need to use the ignition switch. You do need a way to tell the ecu that...
I was trying to do the same thing but in a 1g. The 1g is not well supported but the 2g seems to be still. Call crutchfield and they can likely sort you out.
