Because, I plan on using a SAFC. I can't control 1050cc injectors with a SAFC. I may go as large as 650cc injectors but for now I'm content with a set of 550s. The bottom end in my car has 172k so I don't plan on pushing it too hard.

Thank you cmehlxl and donniekak. Both of you provided very helpful information. I sent an email to FIC at the same time I posted this thread. They responded and it turns out that the injectors are meant to be that way. This is because they are 550cc injectors that were modified to have a 1050cc...

I appreciate the reply. So, do the nozzles in the pictures look normal for FIC 1050cc injectors? I couldn't find a picture on the internet for comparison. I just found it a little concerning that it looks like there is solder on each injector where the plate would be.

I just purchase some used FIC injectors online. Overall, they look to be in very good condition. However, I noticed something that is bothering me. While inspecting the injector nozzles, I noticed that they don't look the same as other aftermarket injectors I've owned. What I think is called a...

Yes, I've already been on that page and that doesn't prove anything because there is no way of telling if it is up to date. This question was posted when Extremepsi was closed and I was in the middle of ordering parts. I was able to determine that it was up to date as of February 2014 since I...

Thanks for the reply. This was a question I posted on the weekend when no shop or dealer was open. I was in the middle of ordering parts online and I just wanted a quick answer so I could continue ordering the parts I needed. I've already ordered what I needed anyway. On a side note and in...

Thank you for giving me a heads up about your experience with ordering those part numbers.

I'm just looking for a quick answer about whether the part numbers mentioned still pertain to a kit or if Mitsubishi changed the part numbers over to knuckles only. Checking on jnztuning.com isn't going to necessarily inform me of a recent change. I really want someone's take who very recently...

Has any ordered knuckle kit MR325009 or MR325010 within the last 6 months from the dealership or an online Mitsubishi vendor outside of ExtremePSI? The reason I ask is because every vendor excluding ExtremePSI shows only the knuckle in their parts catalog when I look up those two part numbers...

I'm not trying to start anything since you have a great reputation when it comes to turbocharger knowledge and I really do appreciate the help. However, I believe you are incorrect about my turbo. It is indeed a U-trim compressor wheel. Here is the info I found on an RX7 forum pertaining to T04B...

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response. I found out that the turbo I have is actually a U-Trim. I can't find much information on it except for a few posts over on a RX7 forum and a post on a Mustang SHO forum. The U-Trim is a 60 trim T04B while a V-Trim is a 63 trim. Unfortunately...

I really need help identifying a garrett turbo I recently purchased. I've searched online for about 45 minutes and the only thing I've figured out is that it appears to have a 60 trim compressor wheel. The wheel has 8 blades and I calculated the compressor trim using this formula: Trim = 100 x...

No, most of the blemishes are smooth and don't catch on my finger nail. However, some of the blemishes on the cam lobe in the one picture aren't smooth and do catch my fingernail. Based on the pics, what grit would you recommend? Also, is it safe to use an emry cloth on the cam journals. I'm...

I need some advice on a brand new set of Comp Cams 101200 I just purchased. I noticed some imperfections on one of the cams in the form of light tarnishing/pitting. I'll post links to some pictures below. Do I have anything to worry about? Should I clean up the blemishes before I install these...

Hey everyone. I recently ordered a timing belt tensioner MD308086 for my build. I have a 97 GST but I'm going to be using an engine out of a 95 GSX. It turns out that early 95 engines have a different tensioner than later 2g motors. Unfortunately, I can't make out the VIN number on the 95 block...

Thank you for the replies. The reason I brought this up is because the previous owner had reverse go out on him with no warning. When I first saw the broken axle, my first thought was that this could be the issue with reverse. I'm thinking that it could be possible that the passenger side axle...

I have a 98 GST with an automatic transmission. The car can be driven forward but not in reverse. So, I figured the issue was one of the usual culprits like a faulty valve body, a bad solenoid, or a defective front clutch. Long story short, I decided to start using the car for parts. Tonight, I...

Thank you Dsmkauai and JusMX141 for the information.

Thanks for the quick answer. I wasn't ware that MHI turbos are component balanced. So, I should be able to simply take a set of c-clip pliers, remove the compressor housing, loosen the center nut, swap the wheel, put everything back together, and I will have a good useable turbo, correct?

Hey everyone. I have a question about swapping compressor wheels. I can purchase a 14b turbo from a guy I know for very little money. But, the compressor wheel has bent fins. Can I swap a good spare 14b compressor wheel in place of the bad one without having to balance the turbo?

I just bought a 1995 GST and I've decided to part it out. I'm located just across the river from Harrisburg. The car is approximately 80 to 90 percent complete. The head and turbo are gone. I still have the short block,transmission, and mostly everything else. Let me know if you need anything...

Honestly, I don't recognize that harness as being part of a 2g turbo dsm. If you want some help, post pics of the harness/wiring you're looking for. Take some pics of what you need in the engine bay or at least the location of what you need in the engine bay if it is no longer there. I have a 2g...

I know I'm only a humble member of this site with a lowly rating but I have a suggestion to the moderators of dsmtuners specifically Ludachris. Wouldn't it be a good idea if not a better idea to send a mass PM to every member on the site? Unfortunately, I don't think this message will get...

Here is a link to a 91 awd with a blown motor for $500: 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX AWD

No, the exhaust isn't causing the problem. Please be as specific as possible with the symptoms of the problem. What work have you done on the car lately? Did the car start having an issue after it had previously been running fine? Is check engine light on? The more information you provide the...

There are two temp sensors, a primary and a secondary one. Both are located on the thermostat housing. The temperature gauge uses the signal from the smaller secondary temp sensor. If that sensor goes bad then the gauge won't work. If I were you I would start there. Good luck!

I agree that the timing could be off still. Whenever you had the car running with the timing belt cover off, did the belt look like it was spinning smoothly or was the belt vibrating? If the belt itself is vibrating then you didn't line up your marks correctly. Here is a link to help you out...

Start diagnosing the car by testing the clutch. You can do this by going out on the highway. Accelerate up to around 55 mph, shift the transmission into 5th gear, and push the gas pedal to the floor. If you notice that the rpms climb faster than the acceleration of the car or if the car doesn't...

I suspect your coolant temp sensor has gone bad.

Go to a parts store like autozone or advance auto where they offer free battery testing. Have them test your battery but while they're doing it point out that your battery terminals are loose. When they realize they can't be tightened ask if they can pick you out replacements. The only reason...

This is a unique problem. When the car shuts off do you have to wait for it to cool off before restarting it? Also, have you managed to pull the code for the check engine light before it resets? Please provide as much information as possible. Based off the minimal info given it sounds like it...

Those numbers look very good. Just as long as the compression is within 15 psi on all four cylinders and you're above the service limit, you have healthy compression. Before you do mods, you're going to want to do basic maintenance. Read the info at the following link for suggestions if you...

I agree it could potentially be a boost leak. Can you drive the car at all? If so does it produce any boost? Try to provide as much information as possible describing what is happening so we can do our best to help.

First of all I would suggest that you provide the actual OBDii codes. Based off the link you posted I'm assuming the codes you're referring to are PO335, PO500, and some sort of misfire code. Based off the information given I would suspect your crankshaft position sensor has failed or is...

Did you test your new ISC valve after the CEL came on? I know you said you just got it about a month ago but that doesn't mean it hasn't gone bad. There are several ways to check it. The quickest is to remove it from the throttle body while keeping it plugged in, cover up the opening where it...

Having voltage of 13.2 is a little low. However, when the engine is at normal operating temperature the voltage will lower slightly. That voltage isn't low enough for me to believe that's what's causing your problem. Did you check your battery terminal and sound system connections like I...

It sounds like you should test out the coil pack and power transistor. Both are know to periodically act up with they start to go bad. This could easily explain your car's symptoms.Here is a link on how to test the coil pack (main info is 3/4 way down page) >...

That doesn't make sense. I assume you didn't but did you change any of the settings on your AFC. Also, did you have the intake off at anytime. The only way I see this happening is if there is a leak in your intake before the turbo but after MAF sensor or if you were messing with a AFC. Weird :hmm:

They work well too. If I remember correctly I used shears to clean up the edges on my first FMIC install after using a grinder to do most of the cutting.

I agree. Listen to this guy. He's helped a lot of people on here including me when I was searching the forum for a solution to a problem on my friend's car.

I can't believe no one has said this. Did you check for spark? If there is no spark it could be a problem with the coil, transistor pack, or ecu. If I were you I would test the coil first then the transistor pack. If it's neither of them then look into the ecu. Here's a link on how to test the...

It sounds like your throttle cable is sticking. You can check it by taking your car for a drive. Whenever the car starts to act up put the car in neutral and keep your foot off the gas pedal. If the RPMs go up on their own then your throttle cable or throttle body is sticking. Good luck!

Great trade:thumb:

I would say you are already at the max size tires that can fit. I believe the 245s you are looking at will rub.

I think you'll be fine with a heat gun and a windshield removal kit (wire method). Just make sure you work slowly. If you don't want to go that route you can use a windshield knife. Here's some info> Glass Removal and Installation
