Hey guys,I am trying to pull my motor again and like an idiot I have miss placed the hooks to attach the chains to on the motor. They go on the back right and the front left. I am not even sure what they are called. Can anyone help me out with this? Where I could buy one and a name for these...
I had the same issue and I changed my tensioner and that solved the issue for me. Also make sure when you take the pin out of the hydralic tensioner that you can put the pin back in.
Okay. I am planning on DD the car. I have a stupid question haha. I need to put jumper wires in and I was wondering what kind of wire to use? What gauge wire? Thanks guys. I am starting to feel like I am in over my head by a long shot.
Hey guys! So I have made some progress on my megasquirt board. Now I have two options to go in. It is either for the stepper idle valve or the pwm idle valve. I just want to make sure which one to do before just to be safe. Which one should I do? I am on step 26 of this manual: Megasquirt-3 MS3...
Everyone has very good points. This has been covered a ton of times. I actually have a thread that I started just like this haha. Nevertheless, I am running fully built engine with turbo etc. I am running my fuel with a vortech fmu. If you are thinking of using this as an option, DON'T!!!!! This...
Hey guys, so I am building a megasquirt 3 with the expansion board. I am about to solder in the capacitors. But it says that if I am using a coil trigger input to do certain steps and if I am not using the coil trigger input (fuel only) that I should do certain things. It says the using the coil...
I am going to Maine for 10 days but when I'm back I am always up for a meet. Just let me know when and where. In in Warwick ny. Close to Bergen county nj
I have a small hot side on the turbo. I'm pretty sure it is .43 and I have crower springs and retainers and crower forced induction cams nd I have AEM 5 bolt adjustable cams. Oversized valves aswell. Soon there won't be anything stock on this car haha. I am definitely thinking of going full...
Hey guys,I am going megasquirt and there are just so many options. I am going to get a megasquirt 3 and I am going to build it myself. I have a 96 eclipse with 8.6-1 comp wiseco pistons, fully ported head, 72mm precision turbo, etc. I want to run 880cc injectors to hit around 400hp. I have...
TSiAWD666: Why would I buy two radiators when I can just buy one?
Thank you jayson427, I think I will do just that. I assume the automatic radiator mounts the same way as a manual radiator right?
Hi guys,
I have a 420a turbo and my radiator just went so I am looking for another. I have searched all over the threads and every link is too old and doesn't work. I have checked fluidyne but they wanted 500 bucks for it. Needless to say I am not doing that. I want a performance radiator or...
Also since you are missing those two bolts right next to each other, if you started the car before the rtv had time to cure it would cause a leak for you as well. If i was you i would just take the oil pan off and redo everything and add those bolts just so you only have to do it once and you...
So I finally got the car up on jacks and checked the tires and when i was doing this I noticed that there is like an arm or something that comes from higher up on the spring and reaches out to a piece close to the top of the tire that goes down to the hub and i guess they are bushings but they...
The tires aren't too new actually. I just checked the mileage when I got them and they actually have 14k on them. How long do tired usually last? They are nexen tires
Hey guys, I have a built 420a eclipse 5 speed which is vibrating and I haven't done anything to the suspension yet. When I go on the highway my car starts to vibrate. Whenever I go somewhat fast it vibrates. I have newish tires. It feels like it is coming from the rear passenger side of the...
I am trying to go fast haha. I have a south bend clutch I forget what stage but I know it will hold 650 without issues. I specifically talked to them about that. I know I need to work on the suspension and putting the power on the ground but this isn't a project that is going to be done super...
I have tires and everything. I just need to do the springs. I'm getting the megaquirt 3 with the expansion board. I going to get 880cc injectors and I have to get a innovate wide band ### people say that works beat. How much boost do you guys think I will need to hit 400+? The compression is...
I do have a fully ported head with oversized valves, crower springs and retainers, and soon to have crower cams and cam gears. I was just asking a question to see if it was possible since no one has done it or even tried it. I don't know where the 1000hp came from. I just know my internals and...
Hey guys,
I have a newly built bottom end in my 420a. Its 8.6-1 and i have a 72mm precision turbo and i am looking for more horsepower. I want to go megasquirt but i just flipped a mustang and will hopefully be getting about 3 grand for it once i sell it. So since i have some cash my mind...
Hey guys,
So im doing the timing on my built turbo 420a. I have to do this because my stupid hydraulic tensioner failed on me and it walked toward the engine and started shredding itself. So i am doing a mechanical tensioner conversion and i wanted to put on an aluminum crank pulley. But i...
Okay. I am definitely going to go sequential just because i want to do everything perfectly and i want the best. So i need the peak and hold board and cam sync. Is there anything else i should get? Maybe anything specific to 420a engines? I am so nervous that I am forgetting stuff and i just...
Okay. I looked up the front mount bolt and i did that when I was doing the mounts myself haha. It didn't make sense to have a small bolt there so I just decided to put a bigger one in. Glad that is what i was supposed to do haha.Well by the sounds of it i'm going to go low impedance injectors...
It is small but I have a friend on DSM-Addiction.com (Its an awesome website you guys should check it out. I have the same name there as well so hit me up if you register) and he had the same turbo and it comes with a .63 hotside and he said it wasn't as responsive as he would have liked and...
Hey Guys,
So i have been reading a lot and made some important decisions about my project. This car is my daily driver and I want to start off by thanking Glowryder for helping me so much in my other post http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/420a-bolt-tech/438543-can-i-reach-400whp.html. I owe you...
I am down and those times are great for me any day. I am up near Bergen county so it is a little ways for me so if there is a meet closer to NJ side then that would be great for me. Also if UPS and Alice cooperate with me. Damn ups sent my brand new turbo from nj to CALIFORNIA...
I am down for a meet. I am about hour and a half away up near bergen county NJ but i just got alice a brand new precision turbo so i am down. Sunday is best for me but i can probably swing a Friday.
I already figured out what went wrong and i already fixed it. Thats why im on here asking this question. My last turbo had an external wastegate so need a turbo without an internal wastegate.
Hey guys,
So two days ago my turbo just stopped working and it sounds like a ziptie now. So im in the market to get a new one. My final goal for the car is 500hp. But i am going to be going into my freshman year of college so i don't have all the money in the world. I want to run 400hp daily. I...
I would definitly go with fel-pro. I love mine and i would definitly not go with the ebay kits. Especially since these engines are known for oil leaaks. Plus if you want to turbo it or anything you are not going to want those.
There is a 99 420a eclipse at the junk yard in my town up in orange county. I took the lights out of it so i know its there. I can see if it is still there for you man or you can just call. Its called specht's junkyard. Its in warwick New York. good luck
Hey guys,
Had this in another section and it got tossed so trying it here. I have a freshly built 420a turbo. It has 1200 miles the new build. I did all new timing and everything. The only thing reused is the injectors, rail, and intake manifold. Today it started making this weird noise at 2000...
Hey guys,
I was driving my freshly built 420a with 1200 miles and it started to make a noise at 2000 rpms. It sounds like someone is fastening up a zip tie really fast. It is very short and the noise doesnt keep happening. What could this be?? Any ideas?? thanks
