    when do you shift?

    With mine i did 3-3.5k. Anything lower and my car would bog. My aim was to keep my rpms between 2.5-3.5k. Until i got boosted. Then i pretty much said economy be damned! Vroooooom chuuuuuuu

    Opinions About Fitting A Taller Fifth Gear

    I put an eclipse trans in my neon and the rpm in 5th @ 70 mph went from 2800 to 3700. So approx from 35 mpg to 32 ish.

    Just install a neon tranny. Same trans just a different final drive ratio.

    Beware of Engine Flush Products and Services!

    I work at a place that does this. I have not heard of an issue with this but I wouldn't personally recommend these services. Primarily for the buisines this is a way to make lots of money on products tha are really cheap. The place i work at recommends those same to services on EVERY vehicle...

    2G New GSX with some issues, won't start after sitting 5 years

    He said the CAS is broken so I'd start there.Thats a hell of a find and I'm extremely jealous.

    420a turbo still running lean

    You need to figure out your rough idle snd go from there. Also check you fuel pressure when the fmu sees positive pressure. I have a feeling those will be your two issues.

    No cluster lights

    See if you have tail light? If not it's possible that you blew a fuse.

    Forza 4 !

    So having to counter steer and use the throttle to control a car takes less skill than pulling the e-brake and flooring it through turns? So is that why all real drifters use RWD. The only people who think AWD is better are the noobs. Points dont mean anything in real drifting. It's about lines...

    Forza 4 !

    Awd drifting is for old ladies and people with no talent. Loose the training wheels and play with the big boys.

    bought this basic turbo kit - i need an intercooler + a bov now which 1 do I get?

    Everything listed in that kit i picked up for less than 200 dollars. I built a turbo kit complete with safc and injectors for 1200. If you want to send shrapnel through your engine then by all means go for it.Best of luck to you.

    throttle body spacers?? input please

    I have never seen any one prove they actually work or get noticable gains. Yet they still sell. I'm skeptical for their worth especially at 200 dollars I think it can be better spent elsewhere.My .02

    420a turbo still running lean

    The way the missing link works is they create a HUGE vacuum leak right before the map sensor. I am recommding he only check the idle with the missing link off to see if is idle AFR comes back into line.

    420a turbo still running lean

    He's tuning fuel. Check the missing link. Take it off and see if it idles.

    420a turbo still running lean

    I didn't like the missing link. Kept giving me a CEL and the car idled like poop. I switched to the zeiner diode mod and never looked back.

    420a turbo still running lean

    With a 12:1 fmu you can run stock injectors. I ran 275 cc injectors and a 6 or 8 to 1 fmu.

    420a turbo still running lean

    Well thats the right pump. Have you verified your fuel pressure under boost? Unhook the ling going from you manifold to the fmu and add 8psi with compressed air. My gss342 was bad brand new from walboro and was only hitting 62 psi under full boost.Sound a lot like we had the same problem. I...

    420a turbo still running lean

    Why are your boost readings all over the place? You say you have a wally but which one?Check which pump, do a BLT, what size injectors?

    Trustable source for trouble codes?

    95 is still OBD II and since the DLC is not located next to the fuse block I wouldn't know. Just use a scanner.I assume your CEL is on then?Edit: looks like it might work. Worst you can do is try. Keep in mind this will only help if your CEL is constantly on.

    Front toe adjustment problem - tie rod too long?

    Try reducing your negative camber a small amount. If you move your upper pivot point out it should cause your toe to move outwards.

    turboed 420a vs factory gst

    I stated this long ago.I chose my platform and im in it for the long haul.Yes the 4g can make more power, yes it has better traction with its awd option.Do I care? Not really. I loved my 420a and told many high and mighty 4g guys to kindly @@@@ off when they told me it was a crap...

    420a oil pressure light

    Either buy a guage or find a way to thread a guage in where the sensor goes just to check. Then put it back.You can buy a full guage set up and mount it if you wanted to.Edit: also make sure the connector is good and tight first. Then look to confirming your oil pressure.

    Get a guage on there and stop running it until you verify your oil pressure.

    turboed 420a vs factory gst

    I loved my 420 turbo. With my setup i was faster than a stock gst. Granted i was running a 16g sized turbo and pushing what the engine (and front tires) could handle. I loved it and i will do it again. Just need to find one thats not 2500 dollars WITH a bad tranny.

    Help with GM maf or Speed Density

    Anothe option ( obviously not the best) is that the safc has an option to take into account the BOV releasing measured air in a turbo MAF system. Its not the best way but it will get you by, so long as your BOV is closed at idle.I ran a 1g BOV and while at idle it would hang open. Hooray speed...

    1G Lower temp coolant temp sensor (Thermoswitch)?

    Honestly it would be easier to just wire your fans to always be on with ignition. Even then it wont make much of a difference. I ran my car no thermostat with fans always on and my temp stayed at 215 unless I spent a long time cruising at freeway speeds then it would drop into the 190s

    Looks clean as far as stupid wide wheels and poor tire selection goes.With that being said no thanks, I'll walk.

    boost leak test

    Post turbo exhaust leaks no, but after the compressor it most certainly will.

    Mid engine 420A???

    Dont know if it has been done but from when i was looking into it i found it was deffinately possible. With a custom roll cage and rear subframe and quite a bit of money it can be done.I however lack the funds and fabrication skills so i quickly abandoned the project.

    my alighnment specs

    Your steering wheel might be off a little and your car will probably have a slight pull to the right. As far as tire wear you will be fine.Edit: you can easily fix that rear camber issues with some washers as well.

    Shouldn't it have more boost thsn that?

    To sell or not to sell?

    A gsx is a better option for total power but if all you are looking for is a fun daily driver a 420a turbo can be quite entertaining.It is entirely possible to have too much power out of a 420a.Having owned a 420a turbo i would do it again. Still have most of the parts actually.
  32. 96 420a-t

    Cant be right

    I have nEver heard of an exhaust gas recirculation temp before. I think you may have your terminology mixed up. Since you do not have an aftermarket ecu i would also recommend you move it farther down at let the ecu read off of the stock 02.
  33. 96 420a-t

    does anyone have the answer to this

    Cold oil pressures are slways higher because cold oil doesn't like to flow as easily.

    turbo

    That link that bud posted is the thread that helped me get my 420a boosted. Read it. Study it. If you can not recite the entire thread by memory read it again. I dropped 1300 in the end and ended up with all name brand parts. Only ebay i used was piping, but pipe is pipe.

    Turboed car running hot

    When i was boosted i ran no thermo stat because i had only one fan. If i sat too long the temps would creep up but one problem.Any leak in a cooling system is a MAJOR problem. Fix all leaks then check again.

    cheap control arms?

    I purchased mine through o'reilys for 114 a few years ago. that was the lowest price I found. I personally had too many experiences with ebay knock offs so I would stay away from there.But since I have had no personal experience with these control arms, so take that with a grain of salt

    12-15 PSI on a 420A

    What rate fmu? The injectors may become an issue.I ran 275cc in place of my stock 190's and my safc was at 24% to get my fuel trims in line so i think roughly 350cc would be about pushing it.Also what rate fmu are you pooking at?Side. Note if you are putting this much work into this car...

    Opinions On My Aggressive Wheel Plan: Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 Rear & 17x8 +45 Front

    Why would you want to run a staggered fitment on a fwd?Edit: saw this is a galant. But this will still increase understeer and make it so rotating tires is not possible front to rear.

    shaking when i brake

    I would bet my life that it is the brakes. OP said he replaced them and a few days LATER it STARTED again. Meaning it was fixed. Then it is his driving habits that caused them to warp again. The brakes or suspension are not the cause of this the driver is. I ran the cheapy AZ rotors for years...
