I have a little problem with the guage lights. Tonight I drove the car around, testing the boost out. Everything worked fine, I even had the headlights on and the guages lit up fine. But when I went out to inspect the car later tonight, the gauge cluster wouldnt light up when the headlights...

Seems like this huge "scare" is just a small problem. Also looks like its a pretty common problem among all turbos, possibly due to owner neglect or mis-installation? Thats what its starting to seem like now. Ill probably still go with PTE now, as my uncle knows the owner ROFL .

Very strange. Must be some flaw in the turbos design. I guess Ill have to start looking into alternatives to the SCM61.Whats really weird is that you get some success stories, with turbos with over 24k on them, and some horror stories with turbos only reaching a couple hundred miles (or...

Has anybody been hearing about the PTE turbos just dying? Ive heard many horror stories of them just dying off after a few hundred miles or so, for no apparent reason. The problems seem to be limited to their SCM (sport compact mitsubishi flange) as opposed to their SC (sport compact, t3/t4)...

Hmm. If you would have read it, (I know its a bit long), you would know that I already have the 91 shifter base in the car. Whatever, Ill keep trying.

Hi, my transmission in my 1990 Eagle Talon recently took a crap on me. So, I got a hold of a 91 parts car, and began taking out everything needed to change trannies from a 90 to a 91. Once I looked and saw that the the shifter was a 91-94 style, I knew that I needed to get the shifter and...

Here are some pics Ive gathered. I personally like the metal tubing design, or maybe a NICE wood frame (sanded, stained :D).

I just have a few transmission related coneceptions that I want to know for sure. First off, is it possible to install a transmission by yourself (or with an additional person) without a lift? Someone mentioned to me that it is not possible to do without a lift, just want to clear this up...

Why would a cv joint or a bearing make noise in gear but not in neutral? This also happens at almost ANY speed, whether I am turning or not. And why would this happen then:That is also regardless of accelerator pedal pressure. I dont see how a wheel bearing, or cv joint is directly...

Umm that really wasnt my question. Im not entirely decided on dogbox yet. Ive personally talked to one of the owners of dogbox and its just a small 2 person operation. They are in fact designing a dogbox transmission right now, hence the name. Im still looking around the transmission sites...

Im also going through with a 2.4 build (eventually). Im using a g4cs, probably wiseco/eagle/clevite along with a SCM61 (I know the owner of precision turbo , no shit!). Ill probably be doing some head porting, and maybe some 1mm oversize valves and cams.The only problem is, my...

Eh, I thought you removed the engine before you painted the engine bay :barf: .

About a week ago I started noticing a very strange whirring and clicking noise which seemed to be coming from the engine bay on the passenger side. It does not make the noise while in neutral, or with the clutch in. The noise was more noticable while in 3rd and 4th gear, but I could still barely...

Actually the break in process I did for my older pads was pretty easy, it only took me like an hour and it was a pretty fun drive I might add :cool:Ill decide what to do when I actually get my pads :laugh:

Right, if you look on the site I posted more, theres a lot more in depth information. http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/bedintheory.htm http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/bedinstock.htmPretty much says the same thing you said. I understand the bedding process almost completely, I was...
