    2G 4g64 P2w clearances

    I picked up an already machined 4g64 7 bolt from a 98 galant. I wasn't able to get the original set of Manley pistons that the block was machined to.Here's my question.I had my local machinist check everything out and with the current measurements using the 87mm Manley pistons it would...

    I honestly couldn't tell you. The car was tinted when I purchased it.I love the Black/Bronze/gold look also. I'm a die hard New Orleans Saints fan which is where my name comes from (Who Dat) so I went with that over black wheels which is also what I was considering.Once I am done with...

    My car is a GSX so it didn't have the 5 spoke stockers and I respectfully disagree. I think my wheels look 1,000 times better than any stock Eclipse wheel.

    2G 7 bolt stroker cost??

    Ok here's the lowdown. I've got a revised 7 bolt in my car that's in great shape. Perfect compression across the board. I'm in the process of building a separate 2g head with all the bells and whistles and I'm doing most of it myself with the help of a very experienced friend.I've priced...

    Which turbo...FP 68HTA or S256et in Dsm housing

    Auto trans won't net a second better time. Now you are saying I'll net high 11s but before I would be lucky to net high 11s with the bigger of the two turbos.If the 68Hta will get me into the 11s which from what I read and from what I see from other setups that are very close to what I plan...

    Which turbo...FP 68HTA or S256et in Dsm housing

    I know the injectors are too small for E85 but I'll be running pump first. I do plan on going bigger once I convert.If it costs 20k that's what it cost.

    Which turbo...FP 68HTA or S256et in Dsm housing

    I have a 98 awd and am about to upgrade the turbo. My mod list isn't current since I have more parts in the garage than on the actual car.Before I purchase the turbo I will have a full custom 3" exhaust done, a walbro fuel pump and 880 injectors. I will be running E85 at some point in the...

    Those tabs are there for a reason. You don't need metal straps or to modify anything.It's mounted too high up look lower and a little further back there is a bolt on the radiator support that you back out and use in that top tab. Same on bottom.While you paid a little more than are...

    emusa coilover set

    That nut has nothing to do with holding the weight of the car. That nut simply keeps the lower sleeve from turning. The lower sleeve is completely threaded and that's what's doing the work. It's also tightened at the bottom in the stock location. Its going anywhere.Nothing sketchy about it...

    Failed inspection...Not ready?????

    Update.Finally passed inspection. Found a place that did it legally after I failed again with the same "not ready" crap.Turns out all the inspection station had to do was input my car as a 1997 instead of a 1998. It was built in 97 and therefore their reasoning was it has a 1997 ecu...

    In cabin mbc

    I mounted the Hallman on my fan shroud and the cockpit cable was long enough to go around the cam gear cover down into the steering column rubber boot and was mounted underneath my dash by where your right knee would be sitting in the car. Not much room to go anywhere else.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Installed Megan Racing coilovers and a Megan Racing strut tower brace. Rides great, handles amazing and not nearly as rough as I anticipated the ride to me. Overall I am very pleased.

    DSM Paid off - what now? Opinons Please!

    Just paid off?? Is it a 1999 and you financed for a decade? I didn't think it was possible for anyone to still be paying a note on any dsm.It's GS man buy a Gsx.

    Weapons owners Check-in [Merged 10-6]

    Expensive. Damn near $2 a pop for RBCD. Not knocking hollow points though my extra magazine is usually those. I figure if I end up needing it I could obviously use more weight/penetration. :hellyeah:

    Weapons owners Check-in [Merged 10-6]

    Not an air marshall but I usually don't miss. And being .45 acp I'd rather only hit what I'm shooting at and not anyone or anything behind it.Besides its lightweight and high speed. My .45 feels like a .9mm when firing it.Look up RBCD vs JHP and you'll see why I carry rbcd over hollow...

    Failed inspection...Not ready?????

    It's a pain in the ass. I found a place that knows what's up. If they say my car is a 97 on the computer even though it's a 98 it lets them switch to a two speed idle test which is just a sniffer. The 98 Ecu in some cars is apparently 97 ecus which are the problem.Problem solved...for this...

    That's the plan. I hope to have about 500+ whp this time next year and it be really nice looking at the same time. Getting the fmic anodized black to keep it more of a sleeper.I'm excited to finally get this thing going.

    New Wheels

    225/40 Nitto Neo Gens and they fit perfectly. 235s will be too wide I think they will stick out over the side of the wheel. I don't think there is a better fit than a 225 on this wheel.

    bpr6es question

    It's the plug. Even Autozone's website says it doesn't fit the car but it does. You can also use the "K" instead of the "P" which just has a smaller socket size.

    Failed inspection...Not ready?????

    Liquid thanks for the link. Even with that the inspection station says I need to call the state. I call the state and they don't know what I am talking about.My next question is this. I have a 95 eprom ecu that I was going to use when I got link. Should I just throw it in the car and put...

    Boost leak or bad plugs or both?

    I am putting in new plugs tonight and wires this weekend(ordered).I am also replacing the clutch and flywheel but I don't think that's the issue because it doesn't really do it under wide open throttle. If the clutch were slipping it would do it under the most stress I would think.I will...
