Hey locals! I'm in need of a 2g 4g63 or 4g64 radiator. Stock/OEM replacement is preferred since it's just my wife's daily. No need for a badass AL racing rad. :)Normal wear and tear is expected, but obviously leaks and heat damage aren't acceptable. I'm located in Black Forest (near Colo...

1991 3000GT VR4 :)100k miles, bone stock (minus stereo and plug wires), completely unmolested, and dealer maintenance records since '91. It even still has the retracting cargo cover. :D

This thread is for discussion of vented rear rotors unique to Early '95 AWD DSM's. Any info or questions specific to this topic are welcome, including swaps onto other DSM's. Part numbers are encouraged and will be added to the list once verified.OEM Replacement Part Numbers (Brand/Vendor)...

A buddy of mine is helping out the fire recovery crews here in Black Forest. Well, he stumbled across this:I'm no Supra fan, but I feel bad for the owner. It must have been unable to drive because I can tell you I've never seen anything to close to a Supra rolling around out here! LOL

Do you desperately need an Air Conditioner for your home? Do you have an old Godspeed intercooler laying around?Get some ice and sprinkle some salt on itFill one of the end tanks with the salted ice.Put the core in the windowThen put a fan in front of the core to draw...

The other day I left my Talon outside overnight, and so it was covered in dew when I went out the next morning. It made the finish look matte and got me thinking about it. Then today someone backed into me and now my less than decent rear bumper looks like complete shit. I've been in desperate...

I have a set of 5-spoke Eclipse rims that I no longer need. They have no cracks, bends, or anything like that. I admit they're not much to look at currently- The rattlecan paint job is peeling and they have some mild curb rash. Nothing a metal file and some paint can't fix though.Asking $75...

Here's the little situation that occurred yesterday...We evacuated last night around 7pm. I just finished replacing the trigger plate on my Talon a few hours before, so luckily we got both DSM's out of there. This was how things looked when we left.So right now were just...

4g64 Crank, Stock cams/rods, 22cm Holset, etc - DSM ClassifiedsI also have a set of stock 16" 5-spoke rims painted bronze. Minor road rash on a couple of them, no cracks or bends. They also weigh in at a whole 16lbs! That's almost as light as 16" RPF1 wheels.

Strokers, Destrokers, and Long Rod Engine Basics The details behind various 4g6X engine builds. The point of this article is to provide a better understanding of the various 4g6X based engines. To keep this short and sweet, I'll simply cover the specs of each build, the general Pros/Cons, and...

Hey local Tuners. I'm in need of a Lisle valve keeper remover thingy. If you have one, you know what it is. Trying to avoid throwing another $50 in my toolbox. If you have one your willing to let me borrow or even purchase for a decent price, please let me know.Also, any suggestions on good...

I recently ordered a Forced Performance oil filter/restrictor for my Holset setup. With the Holiday sale, the FP Race Manifolds were such a good price I couldn't pass one up! :DSo here is what came in the package:The manifold included gaskets as well as stickers and a license plate cover...

Hey guys, I have some parts for sale. I have a small 16g with very little up/down shaft play, a 2g exhaust manifold with no cracks, and 2g MAF with pigtail, intake snorkel, very lightly used K&N 4.5 filter, and HD recirc hose. For local pickup, I'd be willing to do $380 for everything!More...

Let me start by saying the stock brakes on this thing are ridiculous! For those who aren't familiar with them, the NA Spyder comes with drums in the rear and wimpy single pot front disks. The car weighs nearly as much as an AWD model, has a beefy 2.4l engine, yet has the braking system of a base...

I bought my car about two years ago. One of things included was a new AEM wideband gauge and sensor (aka UEGO). The kit was literally spankin' new, but had been removed from the packaging and stuffed into a small box. It was one of the first things installed when I got the car running for the...

I was driving around last week and out of nowhere my AEM wideband gauge goes black. Today I finally got around to crawling under the dash and found no issues at all. The ground wire is still in it's spade connector grounded to the chassis, power wire was still connected to it's 12v source...

Now that my suspension overhaul is complete, the time has come to replace this small 16g. It was fun while it lasted, but I want 450-500hp. However, I want to keep the spool quick and the price down (around $1.5K). What better option than an HX35? So I was hoping for some feedback on my parts...

It's finally time to pick up a new camera, but I wanted to hear some DSM photographer opinions first. After some window shopping and a little research, I think I may have found the one that fits my needs and budget. Nikon Coolpix L610.Intended Use: Of course it will be used on birthdays...

How to Check Your Blinker Fluid - YouTube

I've got an interesting one for you guys. Every once in a blue moon, usually after a good 1st-3rd gear run, my check engine light will kick on. With a few taps of the gas pedal it will flicker and eventually die out. The car doesn't run poorly, A/F ratios are spot-on, oil pressure is normal...

This problem may seem very simple to those who are more experienced, but one of the most common issues to new DSM owners is the recirculation hose from the Diverter Valve (aka Blow Off Valve) back to the intake. Many times this hose is missing or blocked off to make the valve sound "cool", but...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody in the Springs/Denver area has a lifter removal tool they would let me use. I have the lifters, just don't want to buy a tool to use once (already have 100 specialty tools laying around LOL). So if anybody would be kind enough to let me use their tool for an...

Hey Tuners, I finally made it to the track today. It was the first time I've raced my Talon and was hoping to at least break 13's. But I was horribly disappointed with the best run of 15.5. My mods are in profile, but the most important things to note are a 2.0L engine, stock head, small 16g on...

Going to Bandi next week (and I KNOW I'm going to break 13.99) so if anybody in the Colorado Springs or Denver area has a SNELL 2005 Approved helmet they have laying around, please let me know. Willing to pay decent price, don't really care what it looks like. I'd even be willing to put down a...

Hey Tuners, I recently installed my Punishment Racing FMIC and I decided I should post it up to share. I couldn't find anything like this so I apologize if I'm posting redundant info. This isn't really a how-to (although I wouldn't mind submitting it to tech with more pics), it's more of a...

Well, Saturday morning a small fire broke out near the mountains here in Colorado Springs. At that point it was a 150 acre fire, it has since grown to over 6,200 acres last time I checked and has even begun engulfing the towns which surround the area. Over 32,000 people have been evacuated and...

I just got my TSi up and running and I'm in the midst of working out some bugs. One of which is the cooling system. The water pump has 1K miles, engine and head were hot tanked and scrubbed in both the coolant and oil passages, radiator cap is brand new, and I just replaced the thermostat today...

So here is a little guide to installing solid carrier bearing bushings. I got mine through STM and they are made by a company called "Torque Solution". I know there are a few freelancers who make them from Aluminum and other materials, but this should be the same regardless.Here are the...

I am in need of new front axles. The last axle I tried was from Oreilly and it didn't go very well. After searching I have realized there is very little information on what OEM replacement axles work for our cars. I have tried Oreilly's, they are junk. I called Raxles, they just want to rebuild...

Hey guys, I just finished up painting my 2GB Eclipse bumper. The owner of the car (aka my Fiance) loves the way the 4g's look. So I decided to paint it up to mimic the 4g bumper design. I know a few have done this before, but I went a bit higher than most do and love the way it looks. Took me...

A few members found this helpful so I figured I should post it up in the Tech Articles for future use. It is pretty straight forward and once you've done it once, you'll say "That was it!?". So this will basically guide those of you looking to replace the injector O-rings or replace fuel...

So I have a dilema I'm hoping some of you could help me out with. I've been building my 2g TSi AWD for a little over a year now. It has been a VERY long road. I bought the car in junk yard condition for way more than it was worth (welcome to Colorado). I have since cleaned up the car, built the...

I'm trying to locate a 4g64 SOHC timing belt or timing belt kit for my Spyder. I can get Gates at work, but I want nothing but OE for this car and don't want to go to the stealership. I have tried all the vendors and only found 4g64 DOHC belts and kits. Google hasn't been much help either. Help...

I finally got the pistons pulled on my 4g64. I noticed one rod was all jacked up at the bolt area. Right away I knew what had happened: The balance shaft.This is the new shaft bore thanks to (what I can only guess was) a lack of clean oil.Area that contacted the rod.And...

Hey guys, I ran into a bit of an issue today while out doing some tuning. I'll try to describe it to you as best as possible. When going down the road completely straight there is no noise at all. Everything is smooth and quiet (minus a blown shock in the rear). Regardless, front end is smooth...

It's been WAY too long since a decent car meet/show went down in Colorado. Most of the time I have to go down to the Shell or wherever in the middle of the night where everyone is more concerned with cruising, racing, and dramatic BS than actually talking and enjoying eachothers cars. I'm sure...

Hey guys, I'll be in the market for cams soon and was hoping you could give me some insight as to which cams best fit my setup? Here's the important parts my setup:16g turbo (looking to push it to around 20-25psi) Evo 3 exhaust manifold FMIC with 2.5" hard pipes (long route unfortunately)...

For quite some time I kept reading that it was impossible. The block is mirrored, the head wont fit, the trans wont fit, etc etc. Well, I recently picked up a 4g64 engine block out of a 2003 Mitsubushi Outlander which I beleive is the same engine as the 3g Eclipse RS. This is not a "Will it...

I've searched and haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for. Are the 4g64 blocks out of other Mitsubishi vehicles the same? Such as 2000+ Eclipse, Outlander, Mighty Max, etc. I found a screaming deal on a complete 4g64 block but it's not out of a DSM. I know the heads, oil pumps, etc would...

Hey guys, just looking to get some feedback on a recent WOT log. As you can see, zero knock and I didn't feel/hear any misfires or detonation. However, I'm a little concerned about running lean. Especially between 4K and 5k RPM. I'm using an AEM UEGO so the reading is a bit off (+/- .2 usually)...

I'm having some trouble getting my idle tamed. Since day one I have had idle surge which was eventually fixed with a new front O2 sensor and some wire doctoring. Fast forward three days of sitting in the car trying to get the idle under control. I've tried simulating narrowband with my AEM UEGO...

Hey guys, I've been attempting to idle tune recently and have gotten nowhere since my front O2 constantly reads .08 volts. I though it was strange since I just installed an OEM O2 sensor. So I started looking at the wires and found this mess.There are three white wires going into...

I picked up a new fender to replace the one I crunched. I also bought Laquer basecoat and clearcoat to respray it. I used Rustoleum primer sealer as well as VHT primer sealer on the fender since I ran out half way through. I used only Rustoleum primer sealer on the center section of the tail...

So I have been looking into buying DSMLink V3. I have a couple questions though. Please don't give some half brained answer or link me to the site (I've already read it), if you don't know then don't comment. Thanks!1. Do you HAVE to socket the ECU? I have EPROM, but it seems to me that you...

Hey everyone! My name is Wes and I'm from beautiful (and boring) Colorado Springs. I'm new to Tuners, I'm pretty active on DSMTalk (same screen name). I'm definitely not new to DSM's. I bought my first DSM for my girlfriend actually. A Spyder GS. Loved it, bought a 1g, sold the 1g, bought a...

DSM's already have a pretty good fuel system, so I didn't bother messing with any of the lines to the rail.Aeromotive # 13109 with -6an in and out fittings. I mounted it at the stock FPR spot.1g fuel rail adapter fitted to my 2g rail.SS line from the rail to the AFPR.AEM UEGO wideband...

The rear subframe had a lot of surface rust, so I needed to stop it before it became structural.After hours with a wire wheel and RustoleumCleaned up the front cross member and parts of the front subframe. Oil and heat must have kept the rust out of the engine bay.New caliper...

Hey everyone! My name is Wes and I'm from Colorado Springs, CO. Born and raised. New to DSMtuners, not new to DSM's. I've been building engines since I was 13. Got into DSM's after buying my fiance a 98 Spyder GS. I ended up driving it a lot because I liked it so much, but wanted something...
