Does anyone know what is causing this leak? It is at the outlet of the turbo, my engine has been leaking oil and I am pretty sure this is the main reason for it. There is definitely something leaking from here because when I start the car and rev it a little bit there is a wet gunk here. Is it...

Wouldn't that reduce the flow since the catch can breather port is bigger than the intake pipe port? The tubing would get smaller in diameter, restricting the flow.

What if someone were to just replace their suspension with solid bars rather than coilovers/shocks for a race-only car? It would be the stiffest suspension possible, as well as reduce the weight of the car slightly. Would it be worth it for the cornering? Would there be any pros to using this...

So I have my Evo 0 I am still working on and I have a breather catch can (wrong type for this car) that was included by the previous owner. I'm a poor teenager that doesn't want to spend $15-30 on a branded/ebay catch can and I don't know how to do any type of fabrication, I know oil catch cans...

I am having some kind of leak right at my turbo (16g Evo 3 turbo,) it is a dark colored gunk that completely covers the pipe the turbo is connected to. Any idea what this leak could be? Can it be one of the reasons it keeps stalling? How would I fix it? And I am looking for someone near...

Would anyone happen to know where I could get an aftermarket hood for my 1991 Galant VR4? Or if anyone even makes them? I can't find anyone online selling them. If not, are there any places that make replacement hoods because I wanna try fabbing some shit on my old hood and removing some weight...

Cheeko the noob here, my 1g 4G63T is leaking oil like crazy and its pissing me off. I'm finding most of the oil on top of the tranny. I replaced the valve cover gasket so far because it was ripped but I haven't tried starting it yet because it's having other problems at the moment. When I got it...

I made a diagram of what I was thinking about doing with my oil catch can so I don't waste so much oil, just wanted to make sure it would work since I don't have a clue about oil catch cans. I was going to tee the two lines coming off of the valve cover and then have them go to the vented oil...

How would I get the 3 bolt one to fit? It's not that it wont go on it's that there are still parts being held in from the 2 bolt part that won't come out that block the rest from going in, unless the correct part doesn't have the actual valve in it and its just hollowed out so the valve that is...

I don't need help anymore all I need to do at this point is get these rusted and stripped screws off

The 3 bolt one is only half of the IAC for the 2g 4G63T I have. The other half that connects to the intake manifold that holdes the actual valve in place has 2 bolts. It doesn't have the stock GVR4 engine, it has a swapped Eclipse GSX 4G63T.

It was the front/top of it without the part that attaches to the manifold. I was able to get the part off that this replaces but I couldn't get the rest of it off where the valve was, so it wouldn't fit. I used a screw driver because it had the rounded edges, it won't fit a socket. The full part...

I bought it on Ebay but it said it would fit. I have no idea why they sent me only half of it.

Yeah it had the brown one. I am installing a newer black one hoping that fixes my stalling issue.

It came with the brown one which I heard are constantly defective. I bought a black one, now I just need to get the stripped screws out.

Well f*** me in the ass I got the wrong IAC too.

So am I f***ed or how would I get it out?

So i was removing my shitty IAC valve that came with the engine from DSM and when i tried slowly pulling it out the whole thing split apart into 3 sections (so far.) The first pic is how it came out once I unscrewed it. The second is what was stuck at first, but slid off. Now I'm stuck with the...

I am trying to remove the plastic on my center console so I can get to one of the bushings on my shifter and to change something for the handbrake, but I don't see any bolts or clips to take it off? I checked on the sides and in the middle storage area. Can someone post pics or give a specific...

Yeah I have no clue why the previous owner did half of the shit he did to this car. Where do I put the grounding cable? And I'm aware I have a vaccum leak I just cant figure out where on the intake and intake manifold I put it in. I've looked up pictures for it but can't see exactly where it goes to

First pic is my engine bay, as you can see it's an absolute mess. Second and third pics is some capped tube that's coming from under the intake manifold and inbetween it and the fuel rail. Not sure what it is because i can't see where it goes exactly. But it goes straight down into some big...

So what should I do with the PCV lines? Is it affected by the EGR system? Because they have been pissing oil all over my engine bay. If possible can you post pics of where they connect to the manifold and intake?

Whats the EGR system? Is it a bad thing that they removed it? Sorry, im a noob.

So I'm learning about cars on my '91 Galant VR4 with a '95 Eagle Talon TSi turbo swap and I don't know a lot about how an engine bay should look, especially a turbo one. The first pic is on the pipe that goes from the intake manifold to the intercooler. My friend who works on mostly diesel...

I have a external wastegate (I don't know if that is the same as an atmospheric wastegate or whatever) and I heard you don't need the PCV things if you have that, is that correct? Sorry if it's a stupid question I don't know much about turbos.

The one of the spots the boost leak is coming from is literally right outside of the turbo turbine. If you look close at the turbo there's a ton of gunk on the other side of the turbine.

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to working on cars but I've been an enthusiast for about a year or two now. I just got a '91 Galant VR4 with a swapped Talon Turbo TSi engine. The the last owner has had a few problems with the car and it won't run smooth at all until the engine is up to temperature...
