I completely understand where they are supposed to go. What I don't understand it the washer with the angle tab and a smaller tab at a 90. I don't understand how to install this weird washer.
I am in the middle of swapping stuff from an eclipse into a talon. The talon was stripped when I got it. I somehow didn't grab the fuel line that connects the hard line to the sending unit. I am moving an don't have time or money to run a new upgraded fuel line. The piece I'm looking for is...
Well, toss some good headstuds and a nice headgasket on it and put her back together. Could polish the crank and put some bearings in the bottom end since its apart. And then we its all back together figure out why it died in the first place.
Could it have been a bad diagnosis? Maybe it just died. And someone assumed the dsm bent the valves seeing as it does happen often due to neglect with these cars. I have purchased cars that "had bent valves" just to find something simple to beat fault . Just my two cents...
Its only the 2nd gen squirters that where an issue. 1g squirters are narrow and always squirt. 2nd gen had bullet style squirters with a spring and check ball. They are only supposed to open and higher oil pressure and feed the crank while under idle and low engine speeds. Then when your oil...
I had this happen to me. Turned out to he a bad injector. Decided not to fire one day when I went out to it. While it was running I just pulled a spark plug wire off at a time. That showed me what cylinder was not firing by which one didnt change how it was running when i unplugged it. It also...
I believe first and third and 2nd and forth with reverse and 5th sharing shafts. No noise in 5th gear? I rebuild differentials often as well as regear and lockers. Does the noise change pitch when going on and off throttle? Carrier bearings and pinion bearings will do that when pitted. Usually...
The non turbo core supports are different from the turbo units. The cross member beams that go between the k member and the core support are in different locations. I read this in a build thread last week. He put a non turbo one on his car just to find out he could not bolt up the beams. So he...
When you deleted the canister what did you do with the line on the lower firewall that went to the canister? Did you cap it? I wonder if the stock fuel cap is vented or not. And I winder if our tanks have another way of relieving pressure or suction of the tank besides through the canister and...
Thanks!! For sure. This one was junkyard bound when I found it. Only has 94000 on it. It was WAY to clean to send off. Plus I live in the mountains. There are barely any of these around here. My gsx had two smashed quarters. Not my fault. This one was cut up and missing a lot but I had my gsx to...
Time for base coat, Matt spraying awayThe morning after...I am very pleased with the paint after the first 12 hours of drying. Not bad for not having a booth to spray in. we clear coated it 4 times. I have a lot to work with as far as wet sanding and...
My buddy Matt starting to sand the blisters off of the gsx roofskinSome primerseam sealernow we have a nice smooth roof to work with,masking off and sanding the rest of the black,That took toooo long...
Prepping to Install Quarter Window. Previous owner had removed this. I replaced it with the quarter window from my gsx.My buddy Swift installing the glassStarting to look like a whole car.Just a fun shot of the Talon. I've never seen it look this complete.
It's been awhile since I've posted anything, I've been really busy and the car has been moving along slowly.But here's some progress.Prep Work Before Welding Roof Skin:Final Fitment of the Roofskin before welding.Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the welds before paint...
I would check fuel pressure to eliminate an injector sticking open. It could he running rich while driving and then when you park it it floods a cylinder down and looses all rail and line pressure in the process. What codes are stored? Your engine oil will smell like fuel and probably be a...
I'm am trying to find the little plug that snaps into the side piece of my 5 piece spoiler on my 1990 talon. Ordered a used spolier section and asked specifically for that piece to be with the spoiler. I didn't receive it. So I'm looking for just one of those plug inserts. Anyone know where to...
Trimmed the car and the donor core support to match up. Then my buddy Mike laid down a couple beads to secure it to the talon. We will finish welding the core support after I test fit the Front mount and trim. And My DOM has arrived so the cage will be going in shortly. We are going to be...
I am starting a build journal for my 1990 tsi. I had a 91 gsx that was hit by a couple of bad drivers and I opted to find a shell. After a couple months of failing at looking for a 1ga someone presented me with one out of nowhere. The owner had let the motor go and started taking parts off of it...
I want to service my 4 bolt before I swap it into my 90 talon. Looking for a bearing kit with seals. Randy's ring and pinion does not offer one. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a kit? Also. I have the axles and 4 bolt but the person I received the 4 bolt from didn't have the flanges at...
I had a bad vibration at accleration on my car that took me awhile to find. i had to put it on a lift and start removing parts to find the problem. my cv axle on the drivers side started to bind up. Not get loose like they normally do when they go bad. There was no clicking sounds coming from it...
It does help. That's what I needed to know. I know ill be Down grading the original set up by installing the 2g head and intake but its going to be the daily. And I can deal with it.
What is the differenece? I know the 1gb engine had the same comp ratio as the 6 bolt. Do the 1gb use the 1ga top end or the 2g top end? Did the 1gb have a crank sensor(I dont think so but i am asking anyways)? What are the differneces between 1gb 7 and 2g 7?I am asking because I have been...
I did just that yesterday with another good friend that is also a mechanic. We basically pulled everything out but the long block. i pressure testes my intake system and found BIG NASTY LEAKS!!! Replaced all gaskets and seals needed with a fresh tune up. Swapped out my beat 14b with a Fresh...
I am doing alot to my car as we speak at the shop. lots of new part and gaskets etc....I am removing the canister from the emeissions. What do i do with the line that I beleive goes to my fuel tank. it is attached to the can right now and dont know what to do with it!!!
maybe. im not sure thats the problem yet. but its that or my ecm. I need to see if my 2g is the same. i need the 2gs pack to stay with that car but it would help me figure this out if I knew. I dont have my 2g here to look at
I am going through my car this weekend and i believe I have a bad resistor pack. I have a 2g gst sitting and was wondering if i could use that resistor pack in my 1g gsx
I don't smell it. It starts every time. It just cranks 3 times longer and when it starts its sputters for a second. But it always starts. I was thinking one of my used injectors I put in was bleeding down fuel after sitting for a bit. what my bigger problem is why does it randomly start...
ive checked the injector plug with a noid light when it acts up and its firing. I just changed out the injector right after this started happening again at six tonight. it hasnt done it yet but im afraid it will again. I think an injector may be leaking down when it sits and causing the hard...
Ok So driving home one day my car starting to run on only three cylinders and threw a mil light. I scanned it and it said injector coil resistance. I had a pair of low mile injectors from another 1g. I swapped out all the injectors. The first time I started it it was running on 3 cylinders...
so i installed the connector with the glue and the defrost worked great all last winter. but know this winter it doesnt do much of anything. The light stays on. i grounded my test light to the ground strap o the pas side and put my lead on the hot side and the light comes on pretty strong. Then...
It was my cluster. The old one would stick at 0 when it was cold at night. i could tap on it and it would start to jump up slowly. it would still act weird until it got warm enough. The lower mile one is good but on a very very cold night it will act up when i first start it but by the time i...
What if i want to use my block? I dont want to spend another 400 on a block shipped. Im stretching my budget to finish this car, Im just wondering what a good way is to build my bottom end to try and prevent anything that i can from happening. Oil squirters?
So i am building a new 7 bolt for my 2g. Why? Because i already have eagle rods and arias pistons along with a built head plus tons of extras for the car brand new in the box. now i want to try and build a nice 7 bolt that i dont have to worry too much about. I need to buy a crank to finish my...
I wrench at a shop called 4x4 and more full time and woek at oreilys auto parts part time for the extra cash. i have a torn down 2g with a whole lotta parts for it but I need more to do what im going to do to it. plus a beat up 1g gsx for a daily That i abuse to much and is a constant moneypit...
It felt like drivetrain for sure!! The whole car would shake. And I could feel it in the floor boards. But It would only do it when it had sat for more than 8 hours in the cold. before it got worse it would only do it for about 300 feet then smooth out and go away until the cv boots would shrink...
I live in durango colorado. we dont salt our roads. We dont do much but plow. Plus my car isnt that nice so I dont mind driving it in the winter. I am looking for a nice clean 1g shell to stuff all these good parts I have in. My car was hit in the summer..TWICE!!! both the quarters soooooo I...
I have a 91 gsx and I rock studded snow tires in the winter. I am usually passing suv on the highway on my way to work in the snow. I dont mess around in my car in the snow but my complex has a big down hill entrance and exit. the first day I put my snow tires on I was coming out of my complex...
Actually thats a good point too. Did you pull the assembly out and look at it? I assumed you did. i had an explorer that started reading funny. it turned out my fuel pump sock(filter) had seperated, the inside of it had cotton in it and it wrapped around my float and weighed it down so it would...
Does it die when you put your foot on the brake or when the trans engages a gear? If when the trans goes into either reverse or drive...(Whichever way your pointed) I would say idle? Is it set high enough? can you get it to stay running by giving it just a little more gas while trying to get it...
Ok. So I think you said you pulled the return line off and fuel is coming out. If thats the case thats supposed to happen. The fuel pressure regulator does what its name is. It regulates fuel pressure in the rail and sends the over pressure back to the tank. If you pulled the vacuum line off and...
