Well, I'm going to do some research on RHD dashboards to see if there might be any that will fit. Maybe if I get serious and really start on this project I'll start a thread to show my progress.

I'm completely aware of that. I'm talking about custom fitting a dashboard from some other vehicle that is RHD into my GSX. Thats why I was wondering if anyone might have a good transplant dash in mind. So far it seems like a dash out of an s14.3 silvia might be close in size to a DSM dash. I'm...

I've done some searching and haven't found anyother people talking about or attempting the thing I've thought of doing to one of my DSM's so I thought I'd see what you guys think. Feel free to tell me its lame or not plausible, but please be gentle. I'm just talking hypothetically. I'm not sure...

I've got a couple. How much will you give me for it? I've got a ton of stock 1g parts in great shape if you need anything else too.

You need to do some wire tracing. Get a test light and a friend. Have your buddy crank the car while poking the starter wire at different places between the key cylinder and the starter. I work in automotive electronics. That's the most straightforward and sure fire way to find the problem...

Thanks a ton guys. I won't be launching except maybe occassionally for fun. Its going to be a daily driver and I don't drive like a dumbass so I guess I should be good.

I'm working on a build for a 93' Talon TSi AWD. I'm shooting for the 400 hp range and I might do a light shot of NOS. Will the stock axles hold ok or should I upgrade? The trans is already being rebuilt to handle the power.

I'm rebuilding a 6 bolt block with reconditioned 6 bolt rods and evo 9 pistons. I'm aiming for like 400 horse or so. The block has already been hot tanked and magnafluxed and I'm about to get it bored and decked. I was just wondering if I should get the mains aligned. Looking at them, they look...

Geeze, I thought 7 bolts were only in the 2nd gens. I'll find out what I have tonight.

I just picked up a second DSM and its a 93' TSi AWD. The motor is blown and the short block needs to be rebuilt. I'm pulling the motor later on tonight so I don't know the extent of the damage, but if everything is garbage - crank, rods, and pistons - I have a crank from a 92' GSX and I was...

I'm very sorry. I've been on this site for a very long time, but I've honestly never looked at the upgrade path section for 1G road racing. I just found it and it very nicely told me what I wanted to know. Sorry to make a useless post. If any moderators see this, please feel free to take it down.

Hey guys, my name is Matt. I've been dying to get access to post in this forum and I just recently got my proven member status. Anyways, I'm building a 1G GSX for road racing. I've never done road racing so this car will be my first build for road racing. I'm pretty good with motors, I've built...

I don't really know anything about high performance suspensions, but I was wondering how a full high performance suspension would go on a 1G AWD DSM like mine. I know a little a bout suspesnsions. I know struts, bushings, contrtol and trailing arms, sway bars, and I've installed most of them. I...

Sorry. 92' GSX Manual. I'm also looking to push pretty high power. I'm not completely sure yeat, but I'm thinking aroung 7 or 8 hundred horse. I'm working on the unibody and suspension right now. I don't even have the motor started. I'm just thinking ahead.

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/303419-manual-transmission-diagram.html Found this on our site.

Anyone know where I can purhcase some trans internals to rebuild my own trans to hold more power? I can't seem to find anything online although I didn't really expect to.

I think you're right about the U-joint. I didn't pay attention to see that you have a GST. I have a GSX. My bad.

That's the most help I've recieved on a post. Thanks a lot. I am going to stick with paint instead of vinyl. The whole point of this is to learn how to pain now that I have the tools. And that makes sense not sanding to the metal to retain the galvanized coating. I pitty the fool with a rusty...

No, I haven't painted before, but I do have all the equipment. My buddy's dad's shop closed down and he brought a ton of tools to my garage since that's where we all work on our cars. I have the biggest garage and the most tools. But anyways, he brought over a couple HVLP guns and a ton of body...

I am at work right now, but on my laptop at home I have a pdf of the 90 to 92 manual transmission factory manual. I'll send it to you later on tonight. I don't know if your interested, but I have the engine overhaul section as well for the 4G63. I found em online and downloaded them. I don't...

Bad switch in the key cylinder. It might be stuck in on position internally.

I have my 92' GSX chassis almost completely stripped and ready for a repaint. I still have to sand it and cut out the rear floor cause I'm doing a new one in stainless. I've never painted a car before and I was just wondering how much sanding I have to do. Do I have to get down to bare metal or...

Could be a bad U joint.

I was just wondering why some people ditch the oil squirters in the block. I know that with forged pistons the crowns of the pistons don't need the extra lubrication and cooling which is what the squirters do, but is there an advantage to removing them or is it just to get rid of the...

Yeah, I'd say the 2G. Its newer, in better shape, and will be less prone to breaking in general because of it. As far as the technical Q's, itsd best to ask the pros. Here's a great write up on the swap by RRE. 6 Bolt Motor Install Into a 2G Eclipse

If the system is holding coolant, the hose is not getting hot, the radiator isn't getting hot, and the thermostat is for sure functioning properly, then it has to be the water pump.

Well if you've already put a decent amount of time and money into your DSM it would be a shame to bail on it now. And besides there's also the obvious point. Would you rather drive a DSM or a Neon? Tough choice huh? Work on the DSM. I know they can be a pain as does probably everyone on the...

I was looking at some aftermarket rear diffs for my 92 GSX and I haven't been able to find horsepower ratings on any of them. Maybe diffs aren't normally rated for power. I don't know. Do you guys know anything about the subject.

It sounds like a fuel trim problem I was having when my MAF translator went hay wire and made the a/f ratio way too rich. I would say that either your fuel pressure is too high or perhaps something has gone awry with your MAF. It could be your intake air temp sensor. I would start by getting a...

If it was a bad strut you'd be able to feel that side rock up and down when you hit a bump. That's likely what it is considering the difference in wheel clearance. As far as the CV joints. If they were in bad shape or poorly greased you would likely hear them make a popping or clicking noise...

How much power can the stock crank on a 1G 4G63 take?

I know they're not pretty, but you should stick with stock pulleys for your accessories. Aftermarket pulleys like Unorthodox are underdrive pulleys which give some horsepower back to your engine that was previously used to run your accessories. They can do this because they're lighter. But this...

That's the idle air control. At idle the throttle plate is completely closed and that has a valve controlled by the ecu to allow air to pass through it into the intake manifold. The plug is on the engine harness somewhere nearby.

I've had something like this happen to me twice in two different cars. It was a fuel problem both times. I'd say for some reason your cylinders aren't getting enough fuel. You must have some type of impedence somewhere between the tank and the injectors. The simplest place to start is with the...

Everyone says that Mitsubishi has been too busy trying to survive to come out with some killer tuner cars like they used to. From my casual research I've found that Mitsubishi is basically the largest corporation in Japan and they sell a lot more than cars. I realize that their cars aren't...

thats all i need to know. thanks.

A few weeks ago I got a little overzealous and decided to embark on my dreambuild a bit too early. I took everything possible off of the unibody of my 92' GSX and now it sits bare in my garage on jackstands. It felt good. It felt cleansing to strip everythying away. Problem is that it was my...

I'm always butting heads with my car enthusiast friends or whatever you might call them. (Not DSMer's. I'm the only one out of the bunch.) None of us can ever agree on what kind of mods are useful, cool, worthwhile, tasteful, or whatever. Our vehicles and ideas about our common hobby seem to...

Probably a repeat from similar posts on a few of the previous 22 pages of this thread, but I have a friend who bought a 2g TSi and bought a "big turbo" though he doesn't know which one it is and he's going to run 30 psi apparently. Upon asking him which supporting mods he's going to run...

I have a 92' GSX. I was wondering about how the viscous coupling diffs work on this car. I was under the impression, becuase of the sticker in my door jam regarding the diff system, that on this car either all 4 wheels turn at the same speed or none turn at all. I was removing the driveshaft on...

you should drain your oil and put some in a clear container to see if any water separates out into the top. Knowing whether there is water in your oil will tell you immediately whether you have water leaking out of the coolant system or into your cylinders.

You can dremel off the ridge in the throttle body elbow and knife edge the throttle plate. You could port the inside of the intake manifold if you wanted, but I don't think it will help much. Your probably better off buying a new one. Some people might tell you that the inside of the int...

should be called the gas tank filler tube. I can't imagine any one who might have one except a mitsu dealer. I checked the sites I usually go to oem dsm parts and I can't find one.

Are you sure its not getting stuck on the oil pick up. It almost always gets snagged when removing the pan.

how much power are you throwing down?

Bout 15-20 minutes. I don't see a way to get rid of those other 2 minutes unless instead of the 2 minute guy walking across at the end when the 1 minute guy comes to get him, they just hop into a GSX and jump over the ravine instantaneously. But seriously, I can't figure it out. I'll check back...

try seafoaming it. after that i would check compression and do a boost leak test.

It could be a bad intake air temp sensor throwing off the fuel trim.

Parting it out would be a waste of a perfectly good car. It doesn't even sound like its that bad anyways. Throw the car on jackstands, relpace the hood and door, install the leather interior, replace the brakes with some Brembos or a cheaper big brake kit if you don't want to spend the money...
