    Crank sprocket removal and installation.

    To take the crank sprocket bolt off use a SOCKET. Do not just stick the breaker bar into the bolt. To add, position the breaker bar so that it lays on the control arm or use a jack stand to support the breaker bar and crank the engine for about a second. Remember to take out the fuse that...

    Help choosing/finding a FMIC

    Punishment Racing's FMIC is pretty affordable. Why do you need a FMIC ASAP? You can run the stock side mount with the small 16G until the VRSF comes back in stock. I was actually thinking of getting the Punishment Racing kit but it looked to me that the VRSF kit had a better design on the end tanks.

    There should be a diagram underneath your hood that shows how all the vacuum lines are routed.

    Cutting stock springs 2g

    Lowering springs are obviously stiffer than OE springs. When you cut OE springs to lower your car, the spring rate (stiffness) will be same but will be shorter and will have a higher chance of bottoming out.

    You wouldn't boost at all..BTW, to answer your question about adjusting the WGA, there's no way you can do it unless you modify it with some welding skills on a 16G.

    bad uknown engine problem

    Here you go. YouTube - Boost Leak Testing 201: Using the tool.Just to add a little bit, use some bubble solution (dishwasher soap with water) and spray anything that is pressurized. Leaks will actually be visible this way.

    bad uknown engine problem

    Well since his WGA went out, he must've been boosting like crazy which also means that his ECU was probably "trying" to compensate by injecting more fuel which would explain the bad gas mileage. Even with all that fuel being injected, he was probably still running way too lean.

    bad uknown engine problem

    White residue in your exhaust means you're running too lean which also means your exhaust gas temperatures are way too high.

    Should this be happening if not what does it mean

    Here's how to properly adjust your BISS. You need a special scan tool to do it or DSMlink.
  20. kimcheefists

    Should this be happening if not what does it mean

    You're talking about the port that goes to the intake pipe, correct? Air should come through the top port, into the intake pipe when doing the BLT. When there's no power going to the BCS, it's open, bleeding the air so that it doesn't actuate the wastegate actuator.

    Future Engine Rebuild Project.

    Instead of telling you specifically what parts to get, take a look at this first. Almost everyone on this site does/did and guides them to their "dream DSM." If you have further questions, and I'm sure you already know this, search before you make a new thread.

    Future Engine Rebuild Project.

    A lot of those questions could be answered by searching this site. You also need to have a specific goal for your car. Is it going to be drag? auto-x? street? Also included in your goal should be how much power you plan on making.The main difference between a 6 bolt and 7 bolt is the amount of...

    Eclipse Exterior trim/Molding..

    If you're talking about the upper door mouldings, you're sort of out of luck. They're discontinued, at least, the driver's side is. You might still be able to find them but it'll be real difficult. As for the rest of the trim, try JNZtuning.

    Well just to let you know, this wasn't the right place to post this then. Should've been in the Hangout section. I was thinking that you had a problem with the exhaust system or something. But in any case, it sounds good.

    Compression test question

    You CAN strip out the threads when the engine is hot. Reason being, as any metal warms up, it expands. When the head is hot (expanded) the threads surrounding the spark plug is constricting it. As you loosen the spark plug, you run the risk of removing metal from the head with the spark plug.

    oil pan leaking

    Our oil pans don't come with gaskets. Mitsubishi uses sealant only. For the OP, I use Permatex: The Right Stuff. Doesn't leak at all when applied correctly.

    Oil leak

    Did you take off your lower timing belt cover to check for oil? If it's on your BS belt, I'd suspect it's one or more of your seals ie. crankshaft, oil pump, and/or balance shaft. Try taking a picture of it.

    2g MAF or Dump Tube?

    Putting a dump tube won't fix you're high idling. I'd first check for vacuum leaks. BTW, you still need to put that dump tube on though.

    Mobil 1 syn 10w-30 good for temps under 20f? Oil pressure gauge question

    Like I said, to each their own. I'm not going to keep debating over a forum as it will just be a neverending cycle eventually ending in some type of "e-hostility" towards one another. Just wanted to get my one opinion out there.

    Mobil 1 syn 10w-30 good for temps under 20f? Oil pressure gauge question

    Yes, temperature does indeed decrease the viscosity of oil but, that is why the FSM made that chart I posted. 10W-30 is good for 120+ degree weather. I know you're talking about the engine temperature though. I'm sure you already know this but when the engine is hot, the oil will have the...

    Mobil 1 syn 10w-30 good for temps under 20f? Oil pressure gauge question

    How does the amount of boost you run determine the WEIGHT of the oil you're supposed to use? I agree that the quality of the oil matters but why change the weight of the the oil from what the FSM says?Again, I'm aware that the viscosity the FSM recommends is for a stock 4G63. If you've...

    Mobil 1 syn 10w-30 good for temps under 20f? Oil pressure gauge question

    I don't see why people keep choosing to deviate from the FSM. If Mitsubishi tells me that 10W-30 is the viscosity my engine needs, I'll use 10W-30. I don't understand the poeple that use thicker oils or thinners oils when the FSM clearly states thats 10W-30 is all you need regardless of how high...

    stock coolant gauge?

    Wow what's with the anger..It's only the internet buddy. And FYI, yes, I've heard of that saying of do it right the first time.

    Clutch engagement different when turning left???

    Please explain how a SS line would cure his problem. A line is a line and will work just fine as long as it doesn't leak. As long as the OP didn't damage the original line to the point where it leaks, he should be just fine.

    Possible oil mixing with antifreeze

    It COULD be your stock oil cooler but the odds of that are very slim. Especially if you messed around with your headgasket and your oil and coolant wasn't mixing before. It's most likely your headgasket not sealing correctly. What kind of gasket did you get? Composite? MLS?
