    t25 shaft play

    Yeah, you could go to a 14B, but what condition is it gonna be in...how long will it last? Turbos have become pretty affordable over that the last several years. I mean, MHI E16G's....T28's....Hybrids....Sleeper 16G's....18G's...HTA68....FP3160. Any of these can be had for under a grand (The...

    Radiators

    Yup just keep your eye out for the lowest listing on ebay....I'm sure you'll find one in your favorable price range.I have this rad (it's my second). Reason being is that the first one started leaking out the core walls....after only a year (not even). Contacted Mishimoto direct, and...

    seeing 15.5 volts..

    Agreed. Since the sensing wire reads voltage and adjusts gain accordingly, too little/too much resistance will affect how much voltage the alt should put out.Found this article that relates to wiring the Saturn alternator. (you may have read it....if not, hope it helps)...

    Please save us. Anyone help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey man....just popped back into this post to see what your progress has been. So you bought a new battery (old one was shot...no surprise) Also, you've tested the MPI relay, but with questionable results? I found these 2 threads here that I hope might bring you closer to a solution...

    seeing 15.5 volts..

    The above posts regarding the voltage regulator being bad or stuck open, are pointing in the right direction.However, I'm gonna assume that prior to re-locating your alternator, it was working fine? If so, keep in mind that any loose electrical connections at the alternator terminals...

    Please save us. Anyone help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's really too bad Mitsu didnt build these cars with a 'safety relay' (basically a backwards relay that prevents any current going thru the system when one accidentally reverses the jump cables) I think that should be standard on ALL vehicles equipped with an EFI.Lets try to use process of...

    Wheel size confirmation

    A 245/40/17 poses 2 problems: On a 7" wide rim, a 245 will most likely experience "sidewall flex" i.e 245's are too wide for 7" An 8" rim would be more ideal. And 2nd, using that tire size on a 35mm offset will most likely require having the fenders rolled (maybe...maybe not. But they'd be...

    weird starter issue

    Gotta agree. Since you've definately ruled out ignition switch, the solenoid's stuck in the "active" position. Was the relay ok? It's not uncommon to accidentally bridge the terminals during install (imperative to disconnect battery) To be absolutely sure: If it's possible, remove starter...

    shifter cable bushings?

    Absolute Proper Way to Paint Plastic/Vinyl Interior Parts for the DIYer

    I've noticed there's quite a number of posts out there with regards to painting the interior pieces (some of have even gone as far as changing the whole interior color outright i.e from that boring grey to that nice black we all lust after!) But there are those who are weary of painting...

    To be honest I accessed mine just from the top. It does take a little 'finagling' to get to the bolts but certainly do-able. As for removing the wheel and splash guard, umm never tried that...but hey if it gives you easier access, by all means...I think it comes down to "brand" (and more...

    what does the iac sensor do???

    Motor. You take the plug off, move it aside, and test the 6 pins portruding from the motor housing itself (Why do I have this feeling that you didnt even click on the link?) :hmm:

    what does the iac sensor do???

    DmTaLoN's Idle Speed Control Test/Fix Page!That'll outline how to test your ISC (Idle Speed Control) motor....But the fact that you mention a backfire around 4k might point to something else (misfire, dirty clogged fuel filter etc...) The list goes on...

    speedometer problem

    Any chance you took the cluster out (maybe to put in some new gauge faces?) :p Lol....just thought I'd ask ### sometimes pressing too hard when putting the needle back on will cause the speedo to stick... ...failing that, if you have any 2G buddies, just swap clusters and see if it still...

    car died over night please help

    Sometimes a bad alternator diode can cause a battery to run down. A good diode should only pass current in one direction. If it leaks current in the opposite direction, it may keep the charging circuit on when the engine is not running, causing the battery to run down. This kind of problem can...

    Wastegate spring

    I believe that the Tial 38mm springs were interchangeable with the older Turbonetics 'Deltagate'. Because the Newgen is a newer compact design, I'm not sure if the Tial springs will still work.However, these are the part numbers for the available springs for the Newgen. Try searching for...

    Best Metal for Heat Sheild

    Stainless steel would work best as its resilient (wont warp) and wont tarnish. The real benefit of a heat shield is keeping the engine bay temps down. An exposed manifold would radiate more heat....But thats all a heat shield is good for. You can wrap or ceramic coat the headers to keep...

    Cams for a 2.2 stroker

    86.1mm bore. So technically bigger than a 2.1, but technically smaller than a 2.2, so technically my title should've read "cams for a 2.1 1/2 stroker" :cool:

    Cams for a 2.2 stroker

    Noooo...from my understanding its a 2.2 stroker. From what I was told, the Magnus 2.2 is truly a 2.156 something. I guess because the cc's cross that 2.1 and a half threshold, its called a 2.2.I can see why from the figures you posted earlier, why you'd say its a 2.1.....so....just to...

    It was never my intention to get "true 2.2 liter displacement" (that would involve a true cylinder rebore)If you read my original post, I actually admit that the stroker 2.2 isnt a true 2.2 anyway, plus my over-bore is only .020 over.Look, you earlier incorrectly stated that my 2.2 was...

    Cams for a 2.2 stroker

    Makes sense. When it was a 2.0 liter, the reason I opted for the 264 intake was to retain some low-end torque. Now that its gonna be 2.2, torque levels should increase slightly which is why Im thinking a 272 intake would be a nice compromise...Anybody know if I keep my current setup...

    Hey guys...The setup I currently have is the Magnus 2.2 stroker (92mm crank) and HKS 264/272 cams.I've searched on cam setups with strokers, but only found info relating to the 2.3....and with a 2.3 setup, the general consensus is that 272's (both) would work very well in a...

    BBK throttle body for 2g

    BBKrap huh? Honestly, avoid that TB if you can. I had that TB, and it was by far the worst purchase ever made for my car. The thing would just sporadically "hang" (i.e revs shoot up to like 2k and just sit there). I'd have to blip the throttle for the idle to come back down to normal (and...

    HeyAre you talking about the valve? Cause, yeah its not supposed to be flush with the flange opening. It is receded just a little bit.As for whether its a 35 or 38mm, just measure it. The 35's are a much older size. 38mm is the minimum now (and has been for a bit)Cheers
