Thanks for the input ;) I actually just saw an alternator/starter service shop open up locally, Instead of going straight to shucks tomorrow i'll bring my alternator to them and see if they can just rebuild it for cheap, or at least get me a new one. And that two minute test was pretty clever...
Can someone find out what year galant alternator fits on a 6-bolt?? A buddy told me a 97 galant alt. fits then this thread says 93..Reason for it, is ### i can't afford to buy a fresh oem one but i can live with a refurbished. Where should i order from?
Yes, I'll post up all the specific key on key off results really quick:Key off/White wire = 12.4V
Key off/Black wire = 0.0VKey on/White wire = 12.3V/12.4V
Key on/Black wire = 11.3VKey on/Both plugs (+ lead to white wire/- lead to black wire) = 0.9V
Key off/Both plugs = 11.9V
Yeah lol the car's running horribly because it's a steady 11.9 volts while running, then when i shut it off the voltage goes back up to 2.2-2.3! ughh. You happen to know the cheapest possible way to find a working alternator and slap it on to verify that it's only the alternator? Like the...
Ok im in my car right now on the laptop. Before starting my car i tested for voltage on both those wires, i found 11.9 on the left wire of the plug, and 12.3 on the right one. Also, after starting my car and my voltage stayed between 12.0 and 11.9, i revved up to 5k a few times and No voltage...
My battery is new. My alternator easily passed the bench output test. At idle my car's battery voltage is only 11.9 instead of 14.8 like usual. My brand new headlight bulbs burnt out about a week before my car's electrical died on the freeway while driving. I called a tech at the dealer and he...
I'm having the same issue. NEW batt/alternator, and my idle voltage is 11.9 instead of the usual 14.8 soooo wtfff. I've done draw tests on both ground and positive of my battery-alternator and there's barely any resistance. That tells me there's no connection issues. But it's seeming like my...
Uh my voltage during idle is 11.9 and my alternator was just passed on the bench test, also just bought a new battery this morning. My car's running like shit and usually my voltage sits around 14.8 at idle!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! pm me if you can..
I haven't tested it yet, but I've killed my battery many times and it's always been rechargeable. You know how i can test my alternator after it's already off??
So my Alternator must have went out being that my electrical power died out while driving home from the gym. I'm curious, there are tons of n/t dsm's at the local junkyard, will those alternators work fine on my car?? Or if anyone knows of the best place for me to get a rebuilt or cheap oem one...
I don't plan on using the airbags in the car, So should i just pull the srs unit out with all it's wires or has anyone had a problem with this? Besides destroying their face on the steering wheel..
This is an eprom ecu correct? When i got my eprom in the 1g it was already socketed with link in it so i really can't i.d. it. Just finished day 2's work. I'll be posting pics before noon
OMG dude thanks. I've never met anybody who's tried the fabric vinyl paint from there before so i was a little sketch just trying to buy some and find out if it stinks or anything after its dry. I definitely will do that, but mine unfortunately does have tons of holes, so i found a guy on here...
LMAO. Do you drive a honda? :applause: :thumb:sorry. Evertime i'm around someone who drives "jdm" trendy cars is always estimating dyno numbers without any experience whatsoever with dyno results and what makes what kind of power. It all cracks me up.LMA0! What? You know the...
Story: Picked up this chassis (fwd) for 200$ and my two xbox's solely for the rare paint it has. I plan on either daily driving it with a stock 7-bolt or putting the 6-bolt from my 1g in it and scrapping the 1g fwd chassis. I'm open to all opinions on where I should go on this car and I prefer...
I've been runnng no coolant lines on my e316g for about 4000 miles now, and it finally blew a few weeks ago solely because of the 15$ knockoff bov I was using, EVERY shift=surge. And if you've gone throught the frustration of putting your shit together over and over, and STILL leaking coolant in...
It's about time there's a discussion on people opinion for using water lines on any and all MHI turbos. I never used them on my 14b because they were such a hassle to take off every time I was taking the manifold/turbo off (same reason I got rid of my p/s) . I know Lucas doesn't use them on the...
Thanks! but i just pulled the walbro AGAIN, and this is what i found, which supports all the symptoms i was getting!<a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://img189.imageshack.us/i/0417001949a.jpg/'><img...
I drained the tank and took the pump out to inspect it, the sock appeared to be just fine, it barely had an orange tint to it and there was no sediment stuck to it. I also blew out my other fuel filter and it's just fine! I put everything back together today with the stock regulator just to test...
AHH sick! can't wait to see that front mount. My walbro took a shit yesterday so i'll be dropping my tank today after school or something to figure out if the hose popped off or if walbro fuel pumps suck ass ;)
My fuel pump either failed or the hose popped off yesterday from pump to feedline..I don't get over cruising fuel pressure!For about a month i've been hearing a loud whistling or moaning sound from the back of the car when accelerating normally and only at a certain rpm does this whistle...
Oh!! Well that's good! Is it a nice and short throw shifter? not just the height of it but the actual distance between gears, was it a significant difference?
The link seems to be broken..But I did find a 1g short shifter at Horsepowerfreaks.com. Anybody know about this one? I'm doing my clutch-cut wire to use anti-lag on link, and I finally realized that onmy stock tranny there's no way anti-lag is going to be fun without reducing my throw a bit...
Thanks man ;) And yeah I contested the infractions and sent the ticket back to clark county awaiting a court date..Really weak.So if you haven't heard yet, there's a meet on April 3rd! Which is also BOSS innovation's debut of the new shop locations right off Steele street!
Ok thanks guys! I'll bring it to the shop and nail it with the air gun, then drench in solvent, then air gun after it's dry. I spent 40 bucks on it so i'm not really trying to toss it
I have a nice replacment valve cover i want to paint nicely and replace with my cracked current valve cover..So i sand blasted it at my school and realized, oh crap there's probably tons of sand under the baffles!! I was thinking i should just submerge the v/c in a tub with bleach and water and...
Dyno day was AWESOME! It's too bad Jeff didn't show up..I wasn't sure if it was extra money to have the wideband used or not, would have been useful to see how sharp mike's (sonyslave) quick tune was on my car! I have a crappy Glowshift wideband that not only is analog, but doesn't let me...
BRINGIN IT BACK! Thanks to everyone who made it to Dyno day yesterday! Mo, Mitch, ect.. Was a pretty sweet event right? My first time on the dyno and definitely surprised myself with the results--thank's to mike's flawless tune driving to and back from shelton ;) Got an 800$ ticket right when...
I've been using my Glowshift elite boost, w/b, and fuel pressure gauges for about 4 months and seem to be working nicely. The wideband gauge itself is garbage, It vibrates on deceration and half the gauge's lights turn off every once and a while, when i called them up they told me to send it to...
Those are all good suggestions that I've consideredAuto parts store's pcv's that they stock aren't meant to hold boost and have been told they won't do the job.I'm about to drive around everywhere to find a check valve, but i doubt any of them will have big enough ends to fit the 1/2 inch...
I've got plenty of vacuum/boost leaks I'm positive, when testing for leaks, my dang pcv leaks insane amounts of air into the valve cover and i can't pump past 15psi to find other leaks, So i figured i'd put a one-way check valve just before my crappy factory pcv so I can at least do a proper...
Ok guys, well this thread is definitely closed! ;) I've never had so many problems solved in less than 5 minutes..Thomas Dorris-founder of ecmtuning called me on my cell phone and made things happen! I recommend you all upgrade to v3 dsmlink or try the painless v3 usb cable they provide! New...
I just went everywhere over the past 2 hours. Wal-mart/Office Max/Office Depot/Staples. And the local circuit city here closed down..This is so ####ing stupid that a simple adapter is so hard to find. And minimal shipping takes 3-5 days. which isn't at all this week.
Thanks man ;) That was great advice. I do have a friend with a laptop he uses to tune his car(with a db9 serial port). But he lives like 300 miles away..So I did think about that. A moderator told me that Office Depot may carry Keyspan products! Anyone know about this? I'm returning my Radio...
LOL duh bro ;) When i look around for overnight shipping, it costs more than 50$ for it. It's all just really getting too late. I need my car asap. And everyone telling me to order shit isn't helping. If someone can tell me how to hardwire my laptop's usb com1 into the wires inside the serial...
Yes i have the version 2 hardware (chip/cable) but on my computer I have downloaded the v3 software. So it shows me the speed density page and tables up to 10k rpm. I bought a 42$ cable today from radio shack, I installed it and configured dsmlink to pick up on com7 of the laptop which is where...
I checked out the thread on evolutionm.net but I obviously can't post in there and I don't want to make an account. But seriously somebody who's going to the mcdonalds to begin the cruise, needs to give me their number so i can wait at the i-5 exit till you tell me you're passing olympia/lacey...
I found a page that showed me only 3 compatable 1g cables from sears and even walmart(got the page from ecmlink.com). I'm trying to avoid ordering one because my car's my daily driver!! There's TONS of compatable cords for 2g's which sucks for me..But keyspan/ecmlink/ other brand cords are...
I just yesterday installed my new eprom ecu with dsmlink in it!! Then put in my evo injectors! Then replaced my isc o-ring that was causing a mad boost leak! So by now I'm stoked, then I realize after I download ecmlink v3 software onto my laptop... The laptop doesn't have a male serial db9...
hah no boosted98gsx, Read carefully my procedure, you start the car with vise grips or pliers on the return line, then quickly shut the car off if you want to. If you don't want to quickly shut the car off you don't have too. You can run all day without the return line lol. Have you ever seen...
To hopefully save you time in the future man, There's a MUCH quicker and efficient way to test the walbro's bleedback function. Simply start the car, pinch your fuel return line with needle nose pliers or vise grips (with a cloth so you don't damage the line). Then shut the car off, If you hold...
I'll absolutely be there! I'm coming from Olympia though and I don't want to travel north to join the cruise people =/ If anyone from the cruise can talk to me on the phone while you're passing olympia/lacey area I can make sure i get on the freeway at the right time to join up! Please pm me if...
According to AEM and Aeromotive, the regulators are supposed to release pressure =/ I rewired the pump with a relay and 10gauge wire from the battery, then included a toggle switch mounted on my center console that goes straight to the original power wire activating the relay causing my fuel...
