Have you taken a test light to see if the plugs are getting power (probably not but a good place to start)? I would start there and trace the wire back to see if there is a short somewhere.

Why do you need a new head?? What happened or what leads you to think you do?

^^^ PM'd him and told him I had one for him. Haven't gotten a reply lol.

^^^^ Great guy and great deal. Would work with Steve again if I'm ever in the market for new pistons!

^^^^ also if they did remove any hoses, could possibly be air in the system. I would also contact the mechanic and see what all they removed.

If they don't answer I wouldn't get anything from them. Get a spare block, and build it yourself! Cheaper (depending where you source parts and what not), and you will know that you got the parts you paid for.

Just Google AEM tru boost installation. First thing that comes up is the install guide that comes with the original packaging and a couple youtube videos..Edit - damn you Bryan!

Wow..have officially seen it all lol. Only thing I dislike is no radio option but I don't think the OP cares about that! Good find!Edit - nevermind, says you can add an FM radio module. May need to save my pennies now!

What a tease lol!!

Looks to small to be the short block you were getting shipped to you..

Only way you will make that 300hp goal will be if you go turbo.

You are going to need pics and what motor did they swap in?

No clue how to answer your question, but you can post pictures by hosting them on a website (such as photobucket) and then just copy the image link and post here :).Good luck and I'm sure someone here will help you figure out the issue.

Do you hear the fan kicking on?

^^^^ concur, I would only go with OEM also.Different trans but I have a stage 2 clutch and an OEM throw out bearing and it's lasted a little over the 8,000 miles since I've put the clutch in.

Quaife lsd is a dime a dozen now days. There is the modified obx on modern that I hear good things about. Also half the price ;) - Drivetrain - Ed Peters Modified OBX LSD (limited slip) for the T350 TransmissionAs for the trans rebuild..may want to ask around and try and find some reviews.

See I don't mind being stand corrected unless someone had proof. Thank. You psycho.

Again, show where and I'll admit that I have NEVER seen anyone on here say they used LS1 rod bolts. Why would everyone purchase arp2000 rod bolts for the 420a specifically when arp makes rod bolts for our engine.. sooooo strange.But one guy who says many has done it, yet no links to said...

His car is a 420a, can't use LS1 rod bolts..Lastly, e85 and no intercooler.. cool story bro :rolleyes: point of this conversion is how long it would last. You only had it for 6 months and parted it, maybe because it blew up for all we know.Why not lead him into a path of least...

Don't know of a car for sale but always willing to tell a soldier thank you for your service!Welcome back to tuners and good luck, hope you find what you need.

Just sell that P.O.S. T-25 and get a 16g or 20g and than there will be no need to upgrade anytime soon. Also no cutting and welding..

No problem! Also edited the link to website so it goes directly to it now!^^^^^ one I listed was cheaper! HA! :)

Here you go dude... - http://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=16273&cat=1851&page=1Edit - fixed it so it's a link now!

Be a pain in the ass but yes. Why do you want to take just the bed plate out?? Replace bearings or what?Also holy thread revival dude lol.Edit - also don't forget you need to move everything that's in the way to get it out also.. Almost easier to unbolt engine from trans and take the whole...

First question I have, aren't the KYB GR-2's basically a factory replacement? If that is the case, you may want to look into getting the corrects struts for lowering springs. I have KYB AGX's all the way around on 18 rims (1.5-2" drop) and didn't have to get my fenders rolled.

These by chance work with the 420a valve covers?

Here is a how to for the 2.4 swap, shows what vehicles have the engine and all things you need. Sorry for it being on a different site, if you can't see it without logging in, let me know and I'll PM you the info - Sign In - ASEClubStock compression on our cars is 9.6 I think..

Evo head.. you won't need it, and it won't work ;)Get a 2.4L stratus block, 420a head will bolt on. Get some srt-4 pistons and rods and all other needed swap necessities, and there you go. Going to take more than place and go just so you know. (Motor mount fab, oil pan mod so exhaust will...

Alright, I was like have I not known this for how long now. Can't wait to watch your progress though!

Anyone else notice the 420a parts and 4g63 parts being used together or is there info I don't know...Also as others have said, good luck with dsmgraveyard..

Just seen a brand new quaife go for $700 on neons.org.. Kind of kicking my self for not finding it sooner. Start looking around for anyone selling there's, If not just by the upgraded obx one on modern and call it good!

You've gotten pulled over... May I ask for "specific details" as to what he said for the reason of pulling you over?

Definitely subscribed! Can't wait to see the outcome of this!Don't mind the 4g63 band wagon. :rolleyes: Build the car the way you want, not how others want.

Look in the 420a for sale section, there is a guy trying to sell rods, pistons, and some needed head studs that are just posted. Do it once, and do it right. As for tuning, stick to either portfueler or megasquirt.Plan your build according to power goals, not the boost level you want to run...

I would be more concerned if your engine is healthy enough for a turbo. Would save your money to get some forged internals, a way to tune, and than put on a turbo.

Sorry I should of specified, Kevin at syked ecu supposedly doesn't, at least on his website he don't advertise for it but I'll leave that specific answer for him.

He doesn't do 95 ECU's for some reason. I'll leave that bit of info for him to specify why.

Does your car have cruise control?? Those vacuum lines look like the ones that would go to the vacuum reservoir box (don't remember exact name) for cruise control.

WTF ... for door handles...

The rods are the weakest link.. it's not a matter of if, but when will they give out. 250-300 hp on a stock block, maybe..but not for long.

Start searching the j-yards for a 2000+ eclipse, 2001+ stratus and sebring. Like I said, the write up I posted shows everything needed to do this swap, including everything you need to transfer from the 2.5 to the 3.0.

Hence the 3.0 swap I posted bud, I've heard it is a pretty significant increase in all aspects.

Could always step up to the 3.0 like all the 6g73, guys do on ASEC. Here's the write up - Sign In - ASEClubEdit - let me know if the link works or not, asec recently went through some troublesome bots and sometimes require people to log in. If that's the case I'll copy and paste the info.

Hitch a ride with a friend until he can do it properly? :idontknow:

For only $20.. noooo lol. Do it once and do it right is how I fix things, it would be more than $20 to do correctly.

What school do you go to that has class on MTK day?? That is unless you're still in high school, than ignore my comment.

Toughest part will be getting the cam gears off. If it was me, since the timing belt will be off, I'd also replace all timing components (timing belt, tensioner, and pulleys, and etc.) and possibly the water pump. Somewhat of a two-fer so to say.

Lol poor Jeff. Just drive your skittle around and enjoy the tune-ability ;)As Jayson said, pretty sure it's just 96+, hopefully he'll jump in and chime in soon!

Last I knew Kevin was on the hunt for a 96+ ECU of ours and was gonna see what he could do. Haven't heard much since than.

Sadly, it doesn't sound like lifter tick to me (seemed to get louder as you opened the throttle a bit). Should pull the pan and see if there are any shavings in the pan. Be hard to diagnose from just sound unless someone has heard something quite similar.
