I've been having a blast driving this thing. I think i've driven it almost every single day since getting it running again. This forged build has a lot more grunt out of boost than the old 6.0's, it would definitely hurt some feelings without the turbo on it. We took it for it's maiden longer...

Back with another update! Gambled on engine number 2 and to no fault of anyone's I lost. We put the gen 4 in, fired it up and it seemed to run great, however, oil pressure was pretty poor. 40psi cold and 20psi hot which is pretty low for an LS. I pulled the pan as I had inspected everything...

Been a while for an update. I actually drive this car more than most of what I own at this point. Everyone that sees it loves this thing, even the people who questioned my sanity when I purchased it have grown to love this thing. My boss has refused to drive it and we think it's because he knew...

It's eagle summit/mitsu RVR/LRV/EXPO/Spacewagon etc etc on facebook. There is a guy on there that did exactly what you're wanting to do with success which I've considered as well but I'd be more comfortable with a full replacement stub.

2g non LSD axles would probably be your best bet but cut down and resplined as they're too long for the N23 chassis out of the box. I have a bunch of axles here I can potentially dig out to measure off of but I know this was discussed on the RVR facebook page without much success. I have a local...

I run the spal 30102038 on pretty much every one of my dsms as theyre the only fans I've found large enough to keep the AC pressures under control in AZ summers and have a continuous use CFM rating. I'm currently running them off the stock fan wiring in most of my cars with the hi/low tied...

Step one- throw the long tensioner rod in the trash. I tried to use mine on the first timing job I ever did and have never once touched it since. Step two- remove the hydraulic tensioner from the car. 2 bolts, stick it in a vice and SLOWLY compress it until you can put the pin back in. I always...

I really need to update this since the sound dropped half way through a few years ago and it was taken on a 1.3mp camera phone, but you get the gist of it.

I think you're overthinking cylinder wear with the stroker. I've had a buschur 2.3L in my evo 8 for 10 years of my ownership with an FP black on e85, the engine has well over 70k miles on it at this point and I just had the head off last year, Cylinder walls still have cross hatching and it...

Excited to see this back out on track again, as far as the power steering return line goes you can use 3/8" transmission cooler line to replace the rubber return line. It's hydraulic fluid rated obviously and works really well. I've had the same hose on my 98 spyder for the last 9 years after...

More upgrades! It's getting hot in AZ finally and that means its time to make this AZ heat ready. This car was a base model when I started so manual windows, locks, and no A/C factory. Its also a fishbowl so you bake in the sun driving around. luckily for me a local knew about a van in the yard...

I really need to get better about updating these things more frequently. I've basically just been daily driving this thing since my last update. I drive it pretty regularly just because its fun to rip around in. It still needs window tint and A/C installed and it'll be an awesome daily. Since...

It wouldn't be a prerunner without some glass fenders and bedsides. My boss had a colorado prerunner and didn't like the fitment of his original besides, they've been in storage for like 10 years and I had mentioned to him I was looking at grabbing a ranger off marketplace to rob the glass off...

Ironic my last update was the terminator saving the engine, only for my next update to be about how turning off the safeties in the ecu (or not turning them on) was a dumb idea :tease:So I've been driving this thing since pretty much the last update. We put the holley in and with a little...

So this build has snowballed drastically over the years into what its turning into now, but most of the end goal has been the same. A 4g63T powered mighty max. I traded for this truck 7 years ago. I had purchased a Z28 camaro to use as an LS swap donor for my e30, after stripping the shell and...

A junk head turned this project into a back burner build the last few months. I'm sitting in the hospital right now with my new first born and decided it was time to update this thread. What a time to finish the minivan just 2 days before my first kid was born! So last I had updated I had bought...

I'm talking sticking out beyond the fender, not wheel gap. His car is lowered so naturally it has less wheel gap. Look at how far it's sticking out though. With 2" of wheel gap on stock suspension that will disappear after the first bump in the road. On top of that he has a 9.5" +15 and you want...

Did you look at the pictures I posted? You'll be pulling 2" out of the fenders and quarters to clear that. He has a huge shim on the bottom of the front fenders to get it where they need to be. Watch your stock suspension cycle when you hit bumps in the road, that 2" absorbs real quick with the...

Stock 97 is not tuneable. You need either ecmlink, a 98/99 black box ecu, or some other form of standalone.

Yea you're not going to rub the wheel well, it's going to rub the outside of the fender. Unless you have aftermarket stiff suspension at factory height, the factory suspension cycles way too far to even consider that fitting without a pretty large over fender.Edit stolen from gsxcitement's...

Wix 57092 or comparable is the evo filter. It's shorter for better down pipe clearance but large in surface area than the 1g filter. They tend to be more readily available too around me.

Yes that's the stock Oxygen sensor shielded wiring.

What part number did they give you? Sounds like they gave you the wrong ones. I've replaced quite a few of these with various brands and all of them have come with brackets like your originals.

39 teeth from the mark above the 9 o clock position on the exhaust cam to the 3 o clock position on the intake cam this is an easy check to make sure you have cam timing set where it needs to be for those not comfortable with the gear alignment. On a 2.0 if you have 39 teeth cam timing is right...

Are you tuning link cars still? Haven't seen you around!

I wouldn't recommend anyone in the AZ area for dsm tuning. Are you planning to drive the car back?

I have no audio in the video but it looks like it just needs pushed into place. The 2g uses the same axle position as a 1g trans, I've used both between 6 bolt swaps and AWD swaps. Don't forget the spacer for the second bolt on the block since theres no A/C bracket

Are you using those cheap injector adapters for the wiring? I've seen a few of them with no contacts in them if so.

Assuming its a GS coupe it should be easy, just follow this guide; https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/4g63-swapped-eagle-talon.496614/page-5#post-153855908All you need to do is cut off the front clip at the firewall and weld your GST front clip on.

Had some free time at work today so I stripped down a stock harness and made it standalone. I planned to reuse the stock summit harness and just repin it to a 1g pinout and add whatever wiring needed added in. Studying some of the pinouts and it looked like it would turn into a pain quickly. I...

Sounds like its out of time since that's where you were last at. Mechanical timing or very lean idle will both cause lumpy idle. I'd venture to guess timing is off a tooth.

Yes link does log and I'd definitely recommend getting somewhat familiar with it so you don't need to rely on a shop for simple diagnostics. It's user friendly and taking a log/posting it here will probably get you a much better knowledge base to get information off of.

Sucks to see a durango copper AWD go down, but that looks beyond reasonably fixing. I'd think finding an AWD donor in the PNW wouldn't be too terribly hard though. I have a few friends in the battleground area and they dont seem to have issues finding cars for their collection

We use dorman regularly at work. I warranty probably 30-40% of their parts, doesn't seem to matter if it's electronics or hard parts. China quality, they're as hit or miss as any other brand. I actually just installed a set of their door handles on a buddies 2g this weekend as he was selling the...

The CEL won't stay on with knock unless it's sustained knock and it will still go back out. I assume the car has ecmlink? If so make sure it's not getting warm as you can trigger the CEL over specific coolant temps. Otherwise it's probably something else unrelated and its not hard to retrieve...

Officially 4g63T swapped! We started off the day resealing the shortblock. There was one broken off oil pan bolt that needed fixed and I was 30 minutes from my tools so we improvised with a torx bit socket. Worked perfect!Untitled by Tyeler Andersen, on FlickrNext we needed to make it pretty...

Not really, the turbo doesn't add any complexity. It just needs to match the emissions requirements of the donor vehicle. It needs to have the same amount of o2 sensors, the purge, evap etc. They're actually not that hard to BAR if you can fit all the emissions equipment, which a 2g has most of...

Evo swap needs all accompanying SMOG components to utilize it. It's honestly probably the easiest way to 300hp and being SMOG legal, but it's going to cost you. Plenty of BAR'd LS swap cars in cali, it's just a matter of utilizing all the factory SMOG components from the donor vehicle.Built...

I wasn't trying to take a jab at tuners by any stretch if my post came off that way. My OG account is from 2004, never had a talk account and I've always been here because it had the best atmosphere. I just know that there was a place for NABR back then and a reason for its existence and that...

Yes a slave could dump a bunch of fluid. It holds half a quart or so. That color looks more like oil to me than brake fluid but it could very well be 30 year old brake fluid since everyone seems to forget that brake/clutch fluid breaks down as quickly/more quickly than most other fluids in the...

You must not know who Dennis Grant is then and the plethora of information he's released to us via here, NABR, and his website farnorthracing? He's definitely none of what you described above.As far as the hand holding I have no sympathy for the majority of the people on here when it comes to...

I think what he was getting at is that it was a near strictly tech forum without the fluff that tuners has. A quick refresh of the home page right now and the most recent threads (this one aside) are pretty basic (and well covered and/or easily diagnosed) topics. You don't see boostin, aaron...

1gs/GVR4 swivel, 2g's AWD and FWD are solid. I have a couple of each at home right now to confirm lol

Stolen from ileagleracing build thread since he just posted and has a 10.5 on the car. These are +18? IIRC, didn't see it posted on his build. I know DG-FNR had a similar size and ACM if you can find their posts, but this should give a good view of a comparable wheel. Are you planning to put a...

You'll absolutely need flares to clear those. What flares are you looking at? There's a few on here running similar size wheels and offsets.

Spent some time friday after work pulling this thing apart. I don't have enough room at my house so my buddy was kind enough to keep the car there. He lives about 30 minutes away so it prevents me from spending time wrenching on this like I can with my other cars, but luckily he has no fear of...

Yes H-block, expansion whatever you want to call it. I've seen them stick at various openings but even stuck wide open they'll generally still create enough restriction for a pressure differential to occur.

Broke the crank shaft at the snout? I see that all the time. H-block stuck wide open? I've never seen one not still build some level of pressure so I suspect the crank broke. If you can find a rubber high line pinch it with some needle nose and see if pressure comes up. That rules out the...

I paid $92 last year for the most expensive 30lb bottle of 134a I bought the entire year. This year the cheapest 30lb bottle has been $380 up to the last 2 we bought at $425. Our a/c systems are already expensive at the shop and this has significantly increased our prices
