I would like to add to my comment above, that despite what's going on with the company right now, they make some of the finest parts available. I have their exhaust and its an amazing piece of work. Kudos to their fabricators.

A month or so ago I was in a crunch to get my car together and damaged a head stud installing it, so i paid the 25 or whatever dollars to overnight another set. Seeing now that there was supplier issues, although that was never communicated to me, actually nothing was ever communicated to me, by...

I found an adapter that threaded onto the stock housing to run my feed line. I also turned the old feed line into the return by swapping rubber hoses around. I'm sure it's not a perfect power making set up but I'm not shooting for the moon so it should suit my needs.

I agree. I bought all of my parts new because of this thought (and I like starting with a clean slate and not possibly diagnosing someone else's old headache).

My pte 1000's have that spray plate you're talking about. I know they aren't the same, but just thought I'd post for comparison purposes.

Lots of good info here. Thanks for the write up

That shouldn't show in the exhaust unless the washed out oil caused other problems, like ruined rings and cylinder walls causing excessive blow by.

The bolt holes look like they line up? I fail to see the problem.

There's a slew of information on this on the link forums. I had the same problem. I had to wire in the buffer patch and used a setting someone else loaded up into the wiki to get mine calibrated correctly.Here's what I found in the wiki. http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/aemwbAnd here's a thread...

http://www.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FP&Product_Code=NTDSMFP68HTA&Category_Code=DSM-TurboFor a few bucks more you can get this new shiny unit, and it will easily out perform your 20g conversion.

Or if it tries to shift into od but goes into neutral instead.

It's not that they do that intentionally, its just what has to be done to pay the bills when you aren't selling items in bulk. If they only expect to sell 20 of item "x", but expect to sell 2,000 of item "y", then naturally item "x" will cost more to cover expenses and still make a profit...

Clearly it suffered water damage. I would email these to ecm tuning and get their input on this subject.

Check out my car. Full rotisserie restoration. Complete fp turbo set up. Not a race car by any means, but it's clean and mine. I've actually seen a few dsm's going under the knife lately. The condition they are in, most of them need it just to have a solid foundation anymore. Agreed. There are...

YES YOU!!! we need you back lando... your crude sense of humor is missed.

I haven't purchased one in a long time, but one time when I did, it came with an adapter to take size down. The gaskets were chincy paper too if I recall. They didn't hold up.

I ordered a silicone coupler and cut it to make an adapter off of my intercooler pipe on the car that is in my avatar picture. That was a long time ago though. The metal evo bov was well worth the money.

Back in the glory days of this forum, that would be taken down without prejudice. Nowadays, it seems everyone's gotten a little lax. I remember being warned multiple times for bad grammar and what not. Now it's just the norm.

Very nice write up! Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Another solution would be to buy the newer tial wastegate. They are significantly smaller. I bought the punishment racing bundle, with wastegate already attached, and had no issues with fitment. But I also have a fp manifold.

cracked head?

Does it still have a condenser? It could be overheating due to the fmic.

Miller import parts is probably your best bet

They're two different ends of the spectrum, I know, but I have an fp green (73hta) on stock cams and a punishment recirculated o2 housing with a 38mm gate. No issues with boost here. I also have the 18 lb springs installed. It spikes to 25 and falls to 18 by the end of a pull. No boost...

You'll thank yourself for buying cams anyway. On a turbo that size, they're night and day from stock.

Are you simulating the front o2?

There is a thread on here somewhere about a guy who swapped a evo head onto a 4g block. Very interesting build.

Nice!

I would have just called stm

Black box is not eprom. And I've never used the tactrix set up, but link is very easy to use. I would recommend that.

Not necessarily, I've seen them just get frozen on and you can beat the hell out of it and it won't budge. If you try hard enough it will start to budge, unless like pauley said, the splines are twisted.

The green is an incredibly fun turbo. I have it on a my 2g. It starts spool around 3k and hits 25psi a little after 4 and it's only flowing 40 lbs/min so there's more room to go. I have a very basic set up. 255 pump rewired, 1000cc pte injectors, and link. jewer tuned ;)(edit: misread the posts)

I got stock water lines to work on my green install, but I'm 2g and have rubber hose provisions so all I had to do was bend the lines.

^That. You may only need a timing belt depending on the severity of the damage.

Unless it's link v2, which, correct me if I'm wrong, will lose the tune with battery disconnected.

The back end might sit higher since awd springs handle more of a load because of the awd parts.

Just picked up a complete long block core for $75 in new Hampshire. They're out there for cheap if you look.

Fp red will get you to 500 no problem with a stock flange

It appears to have a burned chip installed in the eprom socket.

Unfortunately, it seems mitsu has they're own set of problems lately. Rumors of them pulling out of the U.S. market get more and more real every day.

Honestly, in regard to the obsolete parts discussed in the beginning of this thread, we are very very lucky Mitsubishi has carried anything for these cars as long as they have. I work for a ford dealer in the parts department, and I'm having trouble getting anything for something as late as...

I work for ford, and I can only get key codes back 10 years, so when people lose keys to a 1999 windstar, I call a lock smith and they come out and build a key to the lock. Fairly inexpensive I believe. ~75 I think, but that is also probably our dealership cost.
