    ECUflash Ceddy Mods Gone?

    I purchased the CeddyMods Bigmap (MAF, not SD) for my 98 GST about a decade ago, ha. I uploaded the contents of the RAR below. Will take down the Bigmaps file at any point if desired, but from previous posts, sounds like he lost stuff and maybe has stopped pursuing it.This has the 20550011...

    Trans codes with loss of 4th gear

    So, have some questions about my transmission.First off, I was finishing up a 300mi trip this past Sunday when my car started free revving in gear, noticed shutting off OD fixed the issue, meaning 4th gear wasn't working. This isn't the first time this has happened and I had to replace my...

    Help installing an end clutch

    Yeah, I talked to them about it the first time and essentially I was told "life expectancy is variable". I don't drag, but do run 20psi and only occasionally hit it, rarely WOT. So, I dunno. I didn't change the filter the last time as I was only about 10k mi on it, so that may have been an...

    Help installing an end clutch

    Yeah, ordered from IPT along with a new filter. Unfortunately these things only seem to last about a year for me. This will be the second failure in about 2 years. Not sure why, but can worry about that later.Anyway, was hoping for this week sometime as I'm going to be driving up to SC...

    Help installing an end clutch

    Anyone? Really I don't need you to do the work, I just need a space and possibly some misc things on hand, like a jack, maybe a pan to drain fluids, or I can just pick one up. It'd be nice if you're not busy to just helping out, but I'm sure I could manage it myself. The parts should be here...

    2G Side mount IC difficulty bolting up: Dejon compared to stock

    Well, I made it work. I had to cut a fair bit of sheet metal from above the IC then make a few brackets to help mount it as with one bolt lined up, none of the others did. Seems to work well enough. Still want to make a scoop for it, which should help improve its efficiency. Throttle...

    Car dies while driving for 15-20mi and warm

    So I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump. Side note I had the FP 255lph pump and replaced with Walboro HP 255lph and it is MUCH louder! Before I didn't even hear my pump, now I hear the constant whine, which is kind of annoying.Anyway, I don't think the filter was an issue, I was able to...

    2G Side mount IC difficulty bolting up: Dejon compared to stock

    Well, I'm guessing it is for a 1G as I couldn't get it to fit right for anything. Maybe if i cut sheet metal above it for the outlet, but I don't want to do that. The biggest problem was when I connected the outlet, the intercooler sits out too far and the bumper won't fit back on. Very...

    2G Side mount IC difficulty bolting up: Dejon compared to stock

    I just bought a Dejon big SMIC, was going to put it on yesterday, but couldn't find any way the brackets would line up to bolt it on. I can't even get the bracket to meet the frame while allowing the inlet/outlet to be in good position.Am I missing something? Does anyone have a pic of...

    Car dies while driving for 15-20mi and warm

    My MAF could be wacky as my car's performance seems to vary a good bit (sometimes its responsive with good power, other times it will feel sluggish and lacking low end). However, I'm not sure that is the true issue causing my stalling out. I'm not sure about what trans sensors could be...

    Car dies while driving for 15-20mi and warm

    I'm not sure how you "check" a fuel filter, you just replace it, which I intend to do, though it only has about 20k mi on it.And, what trans sensor are you thinking? I don't have any CELs and the car shifts and drives just fine up until it stalls out and I have to wait about 15 mins to...

    Car dies while driving for 15-20mi and warm

    I didn't look for a CEL when I pulled the plug and one didn't stay on after doing that. I would just unplug, it would die and I'd plug it back in.As for update on the status, I replaced both the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft angle sensor and had not had problems for a while...

    Evo 8-10 Brembo Calipers DSM Conversion (for 1g too)

    Haha, I know what you're talking about. I was able to get it in there without removing the engine or even the IM, surprisingly. It took a bit of maneuvering, but eventually worked it in. I would highly suggest doing it if you're going to have the IM or engine out, though.

    Fans work, both original. I've done both a compression and leak down. Compression was between 170-175 on all cylinders. Leak down had 3-5% on all cylinders. I've leak tested the cooling system, fixed all leaks, replaced all hoses/lines and it holds 30psi stable. Did a recent boost leak test...

    Chirping noise

    I had a similar squealing chirp when the engine was cool which was also added by a loud singular chirp intermittently at highway speeds. I replaced my AC and PS belt and noticed the AC had road debris (looked like tar chips embedded in it) all over the place and the noise went away after...

    Poor brake function and short pedal travel

    No clutch, its automatic. Not entirely sure if the pedal is too high or not, I may just be used to it.As for the brake booster, that may be the case. I tried testing the check valve and could only blow air through one direction of the line, so I'm not sure how else I could test it other than...

    Poor brake function and short pedal travel

    I have this odd symptom in my car that I've been trying to figure out. My pedal travel seems like it gets about half-way and is dead stopped. If I need to stop quickly, I usually don't feel I have enough braking power. Hell, I can't even brake hard enough to lock the wheels without even...

    2G Alternator wire questions
