Ok here is the issue i have a 1g and most of the connectors are broken are missing. I still have the tabs that the connectors slide onto on the housing. There are two right together one vertical and one horizontal (i broke the connector somehow when i was putting the wiring harness back on...

Ok i have three unknown wires where the alternator goes. I have the main connector for the alternator. 1. Is a light blue color. 2. Is a straigt white wire 3. Is a white wire in a brown sleeve. They are just kinda hanging there and it most of them were broken or cut before I took the motor...

Hey my name is Tony, I have been here for awhile but didn't see this part of the forum until now lol. I have a 91 GSX aka Money Pit at the house right now. :thumb: I went JDM a few years ago. As a way to end my DSM woes but it was only the beggining of a whole new set of problems. Oh well...

Ok stupid question: Timing belt tensioner..I bought OME parts for my timing belt kit. Both pulleys, belt, auto-tensioner, and the cylinder the pushes on the auto-tensioner. Bolted it all back up but my auto-tensioner is dragging?? I put a washer behind it that fit the bolt perfectly and it...

Ok..I have just redone my entire motor! New bearings, water pump, belts, all seals, gaskets, piston rings and seals. The block has been maganafluxed and honed out. The head has been polished and cleaned. New ACT 2600 clutch and pressure plate, new unorthadox racing flywheel.My question...

Ok this should be a simple yes or no question but i will probably be over analyzed as always by me and by all of you too ;) But here is the deal that i have in front of me right now96 GS 98,000 miles on it, 5-speed, upgraded wheels, front bumper is missing, and the frame is slightly crumpled...

What are some of things that u have sacaraficed in order to get parts for your DSM?? As of now the Dollar menu is too high for me to eat out on now lol LOL

I need a picture of the front part of the engine fully assembled out of the car. Belts and all. Its been sooooo long since i have had it completely together that i have forgoten where most of the brackets and things go. :( I really appreciate it guys. I have an idea where it all goes but a...

I am getting ready to "drop in" the motor tranny and all...Should i leave anything un-bolted to the motor? Such as the intake manifold or the exhaust and turbo? Or do i just have ALL together and drop it in slowly? I know i am going to have to go in at an Extreme angle to get it past the abs...

Well i have been cleaning and painting parts for weaks now trying to get my car ready fo the JDM swap that is going to go down in a week or too. I have cleaned everything that i can thing of and painted most of them with high temp paint to give them that "new" look :DBut one part has me...

What do u think of my Black and Green theme that i have going on my motor?? And soon on the whole car :hellyeah:

ok. I have two oil filter brackets. One off my JDM motor and one off my original. The US one has tubes coming off of it where u would connect the oil cooler lines too. The other one has the bolts and brass washers where u connect the lines to it. My question is that the US one has a "golden...

Is there a gasket between the oil pump and the oil pick up tube? I didn't see one when i took it apart but i am just checking to making sure :coy:

I am currently painting my Engine Bay with 500 degree engine paint. The original paint color in red and i am changing it over bright green. I have already wet sanded the whole compartment and i am running into the paint "spotting" in certain spots. It seems that the paint isn't sticking to...

I have an issue with my oil cooler. I have two oil filter brackets. One that has two tubes comes out of the side and one that came with the JDM motor that has the powersteering bolt with holes in them on the side. which one is the correct one?? it may be a stupid question but i had to ask it

The bearing that is on the right side of the motor where the oil pump shaft spins. Is that the same size as a balance shaft bearing? I didn't see any specail grooves or holes in it...help please

I am trying to get my car back together and i am going back stock mostly. I bought a JDM engine and Trans together as a package. Other than that nothing "major" is done to the motor or head other than cleaning and checking that everything is where its supposed to be. I will be running a Big...

Is the throttle body gasket for a "cyclone" intake the same for a regular 1g intake manifold? They both have two..i just wanted to make sure they were the same size?!?!

Someone posted a link AWHILE back that had all the the different types of motors and injectors and such...if you someone could find that and post it again that would be amazing!! thanks

Are there any Bike guys in the house?? I havent seen any posts on these in awhile...here are some pictures of mine..:thumb::thumb:

I bought a JDM motor and tranny and i thought that it was a cyclone intake but on closer I was mistaken. I took pictures of my old intake which are the first and the last picture the other two in the middle are the JDM one. They look the same but there some noticeable differences too :hmm:

Question: can I use 2g pistons head in a 1g block? And if I can't can I swap USA 1g connecting rod with a jdm 1g connecting rod? Is there any difference in the clearences and stuff? Thanks

Quick question: I have a 1g JDM motor which basically means bigger injectors (550cc), bigger TD05 Dual vane turbo, and the famous Cyclone intake. The bottom end is bad (some idiot in japan didn't put the right bolts and rods in one of the pistons...bad idea) I bought a 2g bottom end and had it...

Ok here it is...i have a 91 GSX eclipse...bought a JDM motor and transmission.....decided to tear into the motor before i put it into the car. (my old motor had too many problems to worry about fixing anymore) i took off the oil pan and someone had not installed a connecting rod correctly...it...
