  1. AWD Auto trans mods

    I searched but didn't find much information other than to visit IPT, which I did. What components should I be shooting for on my wife's 97 GSX? We're doing a 6 bolt swap and will be doing cams (probably 272's), exhaust and evo 3 16g with 750cc injectors. The car currently has an automatic...
  2. Share how you got your GSX!!!

    You guys are gonna freak...Just got home a couple hours ago with a 97 GSX roller with trans (auto unfortunately for now), transfer, full drivetrain with only 65k miles! Blown 7 bolt, I have a 6 bolt with evo 3 16g just about ready to drop in, just needing to unload this AWD auto trans and...
  3. WTH is this noise?

    I guess, just blows that I bought a car that had SERIOUS problems and needed a few grand dumped into it. Made that $1800 car cost that much more. =\ On a positive note I picked up the 6-bolt longblock that I'll be running temporarily for $300 and was low mileage and very clean. Got a 6 bolt...
  4. WTH is this noise?

    Well, the jury is in... thrust washer pieces were found in the pan. Looks like this ol 7 bolt has seen better days. Fortunately, I picked up a low mileage 6 bolt longblock and am doing the swap and will hold me over until my built 6-bolt is completed. =\ Again, this car ended up to be not...
  5. Not sure what this is

    Wonder why they only had one side hooked up... Thanks guys. So a boost controller will replace that then right?
  6. Not sure what this is

    Not sure what this is, or where the hanging vacuum line is SUPPOSED to go. I have the cruise control vacuum hooked up to the air intake, the charcoal canister hooked up to the air intake, and one other line (that was already there) hooked to the air intake. The pipe with the nipple provided by...
  7. WTH is this noise?

    I'll check it, the pcv is on the back of the valve cover, sounds more like it's coming from the bottom. The liquid was coolant, I had just replaced the thermostat and got water everywhere. =)
  8. WTH is this noise?

    I think I'll try that, easy enough to pull the pan?
  9. WTH is this noise?

    When I got the car it was making that noise, I got it home, drained the oil, no shavings at all, just dirty. I'll drain the oil again and check, might as well take the damn pan off, if I'm hearing clacking, I should be able to pull the pan and check each rod for play.
  10. WTH is this noise?

    It does when it's cold, it just sounds crappy like clacking but doesn't sound like rod knock. Could be the early stages of it, definitely a possibility, not sure what I should do from here... I'm looking at a 6-bolt longblock to do a rebuild on, get rid of the balance shafts, and do a basic...
  11. WTH is this noise?

    Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. I wanted to do a 6-bolt conversion too with 2g pistons anyway. Not really thrilled about doing the swap to be honest, or the added expense, but fortunately, we plan to keep this car.
  12. WTH is this noise?

    I got my gauges FINALLY hooked up, 60psi of pressure @ idle, over 100 when I rev it. Front balance shaft isn't connected so the number is a hair lower than factory but the clack is still there. I honestly cannot tell wth it is. Doing the evo 3 swap today, have the radiator (installing a...
  13. WTH is this noise?

    Right on, I'll look into it. Strange thing is, I fired it up tonight to show the neighbor and it seemed louder with the clutch in than out, then the noise seemed to stay about the same. I could push the clutch in and it'd be louder, let it out and it'd quiet down for until I pushed the clutch...
  14. WTH is this noise?

    Nothing out of the ordinary under the timing cover except the cover was broken into multiple pieces. I only reattached the crank to water pump to alternator belt (just to drive the WP) and fired it up, still clacking like hell. It sounds just like it's coming from the rear balance shaft, is...
  15. 2G Timing belt clattering

    Originally started out trying to hunt down the clacking noise. I've heard of people leaving the front shaft in without the belt, but doubt that'd be causing that clacking noise. The belt tension looks and feels okay, looks like a new belt, hard to tell if it's a new tensioner. If this thing...
  16. 2G Timing belt clattering

    I turned it over slowly and didn't hear the clattering, I wonder if that clattering noise was that piece of crap timing cover up against those pulleys/belts. Now I've got to find a new lower and middle cover, I'm pissed. >=\
  17. 2G Timing belt clattering

    So, I got under the car tonight to do some investigating to try and find out what that clattering noise is coming from the front of the engine down low and here's what I found, #1, the timing cover was held on by 3 bolts, and the belts had been rubbing it raw (holes in places), it was cracked in...
  18. Evo 16g install

    It's gonna be close, it SHOULD make it here Saturday (they shipped it priority mail) since it's coming from CA. We'll see. =\ Thanks again guys.
  19. 2G Rod that connects to the door lock is broken.

    Yeah, I hear ya, I had the handle out no problem, the bottom of the window does get in the way a but but the part that broke looks to be attached to the white part that has torx bolts on it that is actually the mechanism that hooks to the body of the car that latches. The door lock arm attaches...
  20. 2G Rod that connects to the door lock is broken.

    Well, I bought the car with a broken drivers side lock (physically out of the car) so I bought a set of manual locks for the trunk, doors, glove box and ignition with a key pulled from another car. Well, when I went to install the lock in the drivers side, I pulled the door panel off and...
  21. Evo 16g install

    Crap, I didn't think of that. Ugh. Maybe header wrap, who knows... =\ Thanks again fellas, you guys are always a hell of a help!
  22. Evo 16g install

    Well I ordered the tubular o2 housing just in case. You just held 25psi?! lol my crap would come apart man. I'm getting an evo 9 pump and injectors, and that's gonna be about it for me for now on this thing, probably start working on a new shortblock before anything else.
  23. Evo 16g install

    Ugh... Now here's the next thing, is it smog legal to run an external wastegate? =\Is this the unit you're referring to? It's in CA, might have it by this weekend if I order asap. 91 91 92 93 94 EALGE TALON DSM O2 HOUSING TURBO ELBOW :eBay Motors (item 180420322768 end time Nov-14-09...
  24. Evo 16g install

    See, that's where I'm sketch, I'm not 100% sure it'd be smog legal here in CA. Freakin Nazi's, I just wanted to make it as factory looking as possible without going crazy.
  25. Evo 16g install

    I bought an evo 16g from a fella, couldn't beat the price, it's genuine MHI, no o2 housing to replace the old worn out unit on my gst. Long story short, I've read quite a few posts about creep, but what is the definitive answer, port the path to the wastegate flapper and match the o2 housing to...
  26. WTH is this noise?

    Thanks man, I really need that. I asked the wife if she wanted it "nice" again, but we would have to keep it since I'd have too much invested. Also said I could leave it as a beater and flip it later after she's done with school. She said she wants to keep it so... Wifes happy, life's happy...
  27. WTH is this noise?

    I'll try all of those. Believe me, the 6-bolt is sounding awful nice, contacted a guy with a forged shortblock for sale, would be a great engine for a good price. Just afraid of having way more money in this thing than what I'll get out of it. It originally started out as a good deal until...
  28. WTH is this noise?

    I changed the oil and no shavings, oil looked good, just old. It doesn't get worse/better when you rev it, that's what's weird, it's always the same noise, no change. I've had it for coming up on 2 weeks, haven't really driven anywhere (still have to pass smog but the turbo is so shot it won't...
  29. WTH is this noise?

    Guys, I'm really starting to get worried. What the hell is this noise, now it sounds like it's coming from the pan toward the front, is this rod knock in your opinion? The oil pressure dummy light isn't on, and haven't hooked up my new gauge yet (you can see the new sender, the old one didn't...
  30. Bubbles in Coolant

    I haven't figured that out yet, it was getting late last night and the wife was *&%*! at me for being out there making noise (cussing more or less, lol). I honestly am not sure if I'll hear that noise if I turn it over by hand, it's a really weird noise. I mean these little DOHC 4 bangers make...
  31. Bubbles in Coolant

    She was there 6 years as a manager, (best buy electronics). They restructured while she was gone and offered her a $7/hr paycut, I said F that so she's going to school to do dental assisting. It happens. =\Makes sense, I don't think I'm overheating, but no way to really tell. Idling, no...
  32. Bubbles in Coolant

    AH HAHHAAHAH that's funny. We just got rid of our 08 Altima 3.5SE we bought brand new, sold it with like 8k on it. She lost her job (position eliminitated) while on maternity leave (yeah, it's legal... can you believe that?) and couldn't swing the $640/month. Paid cash for this little hot...
  33. Bubbles in Coolant

    67 firebird, 408ci LS1 stroker, S480 turbo. >=)The GST is actually mama's car (the wife). I wanted a turbo car, and and she hates evos and WRX's and only paid $1500 for this GST, so... that's what I did.
  34. Bubbles in Coolant

    I'll see if I can stop by there tomorrow and rent one, need to return the comp tester anyway and spring compressor I used on my 67.I'll push in the clutch and see if the clacking goes away, are you thinking throwout?PS - I only hear the clacking noise from the front of the motor (by...
  35. Bubbles in Coolant

    I have a brand new cap with the pressure release deal on the top, it's a 13psi cap, seems to be working okay. I originally would get it good and hot, then pull the reservoir cap off and hold the drop light so I could see the coolant then pull the pressure release to get the bubbles in the...
  36. Bubbles in Coolant

    I just don't want to worry about trying to get this pos to pass smog (California) with multiple issues that would cause it to fail. I'm afraid to even attempt smog on this thing with those turbo seals as bad as they are, the poor thing blasts smoke out when you boost it up or even start to...
  37. Bubbles in Coolant

    Not sure on a way to pressure test it, if I could get a test plug with a valve on the top I would be able to no problem. No way of telling if it's getting hot, factory gauge doesn't work. I've replaced the ECU sender, and the "temp switch", you can see those brand new in the video. New...
  38. Bubbles in Coolant

    I can't drive enough to really test it, when I did the upper hose blew off since most of the plastic was gone on the radiator (new aluminum setup will be here Tuesday). That kind of qued me in on this problem. I still have to smog it before I can really take it out and test anything, we just...
  39. Bubbles in Coolant

    Gets worse and worse every time I pop the hood, lol. Here's a short video of the coolant after it's good and warm (AC was on). The head was JUST replaced before I bought it. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal to get that kind of volume bubbling, what do you guys think?YouTube - Turbo...
  40. White smoke - could it be the turbo?

    I'm just ready to smog it and don't wanna waste the time driving it over there just to have it fail because of the piece of crap turbo. In CA they run a test on the dyno @ 15mph then at 25mph, if oil gets into the downpipe it'll jack the hydrocarbon counts way the hell up. Turbo should be here...
  41. White smoke - could it be the turbo?

    Hmmmmm, will check in a bit, but don't think I'm losing coolant, or at least a significant amount, I'm not sure what's in the exhaust. The car had been sitting for about 4 years before I got it so... Who knows.
  42. White smoke - could it be the turbo?

    Well, I only REALLY see it at night when it's cooler, it's the same kind of smoke (I would think) that you see when you first start the car and it's warming up. It doesn't look blue, I mean when it's hot during the day you can boost it and you can tell it's blowing oil out the tailpipe. Not...
  43. White smoke - could it be the turbo?

    I picked up a 95 GST a week ago and have gotten pretty far in getting it going. It seems to run great now, did a compression test after warming it up (needed a new thermostat o-ring) and it's 168 - 172 - 170 - 174. While swapping the injen intake for a stock airbox with stock BOV, I checked...
  44. Please help identify these parts

    I'm with you there, but isn't it needed for emissions testing in California? That's the problem I'm having and why I'm putting stock bs back on it temporarily. =\K, got a nipple and got it hooked up. I am officially stock (for now). Thanks guys!
  45. Please help identify these parts

    Right on, I'll have to see what I can find. Thanks fellas, you guys are such a help, I really appreciate you guys giving me a hand!Tony
  46. Please help identify these parts

    Thanks for the help. Only thing is, the one circled in blue looks like it should have had a nipple or something on it but has nothing, just a big hole so I can't get that hose over it. Try and rig a nipple up or what? Thanks again!Tony
  47. Please help identify these parts

    I apologize in advance for the 20 questions I've been playing, just new to this and trying to get everything sorted out to get it smogged and on the road for the wife (you know how that is). Anyway, a friend 45 minutes north of me was nice enough to let me borrow his stock intake tube, air box...
  48. Gauge lights won't turn off

    As some of you know, I picked up this car last Tuesday and it's been just about nothing but a nightmare but slowly but surely, it's getting better and better. I checked every fuse under the hood and by the kick panel on the drivers side and found the alternator fuse blown (when I first got it)...
  49. More problems LOL

    I got the broken bolt out! Fixed that problem but under boost it's blue smoke for a second, guess the seals in the turbo are done. Looks to be original with 132k on it so I figure it's finished, guess I will be investing the $ in a 16g afterall. For some reason idling there is a light amount...
  50. More problems LOL

    BTW, where the F did you get your radiator hose? The one that's on it looks like a cut to fit that was half assed, and the on I just bought is the same way, way too long and cut to fit but looks like it should be angled to the right more for the neck.
