Yea I passed out a while ago:D Just playing...I'm sure it's going to be a while as they don't have unlimited funds and endless time. They are making a huge breakthrough here and it's well worth the wait. I just hope they go all the way through with this and don't give up.

Yea. Thanks for letting me know 100% that it's not an eprom. Too bad it's not, it's in excellent condition. Thanks, Jon

I figured it wasn't but I'm not sure myself on the T or E not being there.

I am not experienced with ECU's at all so bare with me. Just curious if some pros could shine some light on this for me. This ECU I have that is out of a 1996 GST FWD Auto looks different than the other 2g ecu's I can find information on. I am pretty sure it is not an eprom but I am far from a...

I'd go 20g for sure. With a good tune you won't even notice the lag. You will notice better topend pull though. Keep in mind though that if the 20g is used and you know nothing about it, you may want to consider a rebuild so you don't waste our time puting it on just to find out it has a blown...

Kind of figured this but thought I'd look around since I still have time.

You are correct:thumb: That is my next project but for now I want to play with my fwd. Looking for a nice awd shell as we speak.

I can only imagine which is why I didn't want to slow him down by asking him this question directly. I figured someone would be able to answer my question.Thanks

Alrighty then. Do you happen to know of anyone who does make them?

Anyone hear anything about the fuel cell for the GST models yet?

This is not a thread about pulling the motor without the trans!!!!I have used the "search" and "google" and still can't find a decent writeup for this.This is in regards to a 1996 FWD AUTOMotor and trans is ready to come out and I'm looking to pull them both together. I have done...

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I figured 8.5:1 would be the big hit here but no reason not to ask when there's so much knowledge floating around out there. As for an intake manifold, I'm still up in the air with which one to use. I do know it would help out a lot though. Do you...

The kit I'm using is from extremepsi and consist of the following: 7-Bolt 4g63 2.1L stroker long rod 156mm Manley Billet 94mm crank Manley 156mm I-Beam rods Manley 85.5 (unsure of comp ration 8.5:1 or 10:1) ACL Race Tri Metal rod bearings ACL Tri Meyal Main BearingsThis is the 2.1...

You could do the whole wideband thing but that wouldn't be near as smart as gas gauge :thumb:...playing of course:D

Appreciate the thought:thumb:Thanks a lot for the offer. I don't want to impose in any way. I'll get in touch when the date gets closer. And who knows, maybe I'll have my 2g finished by then and my license back but I doubt it. Fingers crossed though:pray:Beautiful car by the way. That...

I'm excited about the whole thing, it's just too bad I can't make it this year. I'd have to hitch a ride with someone because my car is under construction still and probably won't be ready until the winter months.Anyone up for letting me hitch a ride???:thumb:

Friend of mine has been running them for 2 years with no issues and he has a manual that he drives like he stole. I thought the same thing when I help put them on but go figure, they're still holding up fine and the balljoint is still tight and not sloppy. I'm sure there are much better options...

Based on personal experience, if I were you I'd look in to the Power Acoustik MOFO subs and a Power Acoustik BAMF class-D mono block amp. When this combination is built properly, it is very clear and loud. I've never had a better system and I've been through all the other Eclipse, Kenwood...

Depending on how your state works, you can file for an abandoned title. I've done this twice in Michigan but I don't know how your state works. All you have to do is call the secretary of state and ask what it will take to retrieve a title on an abandoned car. I know in Michigan that the vehicle...

Thanks so much for all the information!!! Keep it coming.Well, after some extensive research and tips from others, I have decided to go with the Manley Billet 94mm Crank, instead of the Eagle 94mm crank. It seems the Manley may just be an overall smarter choice.

I am looking for information on this stroker crank for a 2.2 stroker build in an automatic FWD? I'd like to hear from others that have ran this crank and what kind of internals they ran with it? I would like to build this stroker to withstand 800hp but realistically 600hp+. I say that because I...

"I remember my first beer";)I don't understand such an investment like this, you should've atleast atleast went with forged internals or something, then you'd have growing room. Or leave what's in your car alone and build a seperate motor on the side to accomodate the 750hp. It sounds like...

Hey "urbansmoker1" you need to delete some of your messages to accept anymore!!!!

Great information!!!:thumb:

You and I both!!! :thumb:

I wish I could tell you but I have not experienced this setup yet. I haven't even heard much about people using these wheels but fromwhat the manufaturer says, these wheels are bad ass and can really handle some power. I hope I'll get to find out befor I sell it lol. I have my hx40 that I'm...

Thanks for the reply. Glad to know it's holding up and doing good for you. I'd like to know what kind of power this thing can really put out.Whats the pull like compared to a 16g or anything else that size and what rpm are you at when it hits full spool? Did you have any problems with surge...

It's all about trial and error when it comes to building for me. I like to have fun with different parts and see what I can come up with. From what I was told, it shouldn't surge much at all with proper tune and supporting mods. But if it does, there's no reason I couldn't try out the anti-surge...

I just thought I'd start a thread on the billet 11-blade 20g comp wheel. I just installed one today during a rebuild and upgrade. I don't see hardly anyone running anything different than the billet 6-blade so I thought I'd be different and go for the billet 11-blade. I'd like to hear from...

This is my first rebuild and it came with an upgrade. I took my original MHI big 16g that was in really rough looking shape and turned it in to this beast. Full rebuild kit with new td05 turbine shaft, new a/r .70 turbine housing, new 3" 20g compressor housing and topped it off with an 11-Blde...

So I decided to go ahead and do a rebuild and it is going to be on a MHI Big 16g. Not only am I doing a rebuild, I am also uprading the compressor wheel to a 20g Billet 11-blade and a new 3" 20g compressor housing. The rebuild will consist of all new parts and a brand new TD05H turbine shaft...

Thanks alot for the info. You have made my choice much easier by stating this turbo is application-built and cannot accept different housings. I'm going to go ahead and sell it then. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the reply. I know it's the same as any other turbo but I was looking for people that know about using them on the dsm. Like I said befor, I got it for free and was curious about the best way to use it on a dsm. I have heard that this turbo may be laggy but that doesn't tell me facts...

Thanks for the info and links. Unfortunately, none of the links explain how to use this turbo on the 4g63t. I'm trying to figure out how to make this turbo work at its most potential on a dsm. Thanks!!!

Hey. This is in regards to a Borg Warner GM-4 IHI that came off a 1995 diesel. Just curious if anyone has ran this turbo on their dsm? I got one in excellent condition for free but I don't know much about one of these being ran on a dsm and I can't find much info about people using them. I'm...

Thanks everyone for all the replies. There are a lot of good points made. I guess I'll go ahead and clarify a couple things.First off, I did not have a bumper available at the time I thought about this so I went ahead and had some fun making a cover for the intercooler. I also chose to go...

I'm thinking (could be wrong) that the mesh I am using is not like the standard mesh grill material that comes from other places that people use on their bumpers and wherever else. This stuff is strong and can take a beating for sure. I'm happy with it.Thanks for the reply:thumb: I am...

I knew people would assume that but that is why I tested it on a radiator befor I even started. The mesh is thicker and more durable than people think. I was chucking some good sized stones at it and it didn't hurt the radiator anything like when it wasn't covered. It was quite shocking to me...

ROFL Eaten an Owl ROFL Hope I don't eat any owls.:thumb:

The mesh is very tough. It is what I use on stone walls as a Mason to stick the stone too. I actually tested the mesh on an old radiator I had laying around befor I even started. I threw numorous different sized rocks at it covering the radiator and the rocks didn't faze the radiator fins. Small...

I thought about the restriction of air but I can't see it being much of a restriction at all and probably nothing noticable. I will post more pictures after the bumper gets here, waiting on delivery. And it is mounted already, mounted so well that I could hang my body weight from it.This is...

Just curious what you think about this and I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this but it does have to do with appearance.I went ahead and made a cover for my intercooler to protect it from being damaged by daily driving. I used wire mesh from the local hardware store. I was going...

So I went ahead and did the emissions delete the other day. Everything was very easy and it will deffenitely help clean things up in the end. Progress doesn't look so good right now because the engine bay is so dirty but you get the idea.I removed the charcoal canister first since it looked...

Let's see some more!!!!!! Show us what you got:thumb:

Just be sure to check, double check, and triple check when you are done for any loose connections around where you were working and be sure to cap everything real well that is needed.:thumb:

I actually found it to be quite easy and it took about 45min to remove everything, including egr and hvac. I found that the brace located under the battery tray can be bent once the first screw is easily removed. After the first screw is out, pull up on the brace and wiggle the canister out...

Satying with the carbon fiber look until it fades or gets ruined. I can't see paying as much as these hoods cost just to paint over the great quallity of work. Now to find one at a steal:thumb:

Prep as much as you can yourself. It will save you a good amount in the end. Sand as much as you can and remove all the trim yourself. Paint costs a lot because it takes patience to do it right and for people to have patience, they must love their job or they get payed very well for what they do...

I'm loving it and the quallity is great.I want to know how well the glass fits though? Will the factory glass pop out of another hatch and fit right in yours without any issues? If so, I'll be in on the GB.:thumb:

I'm going to run black tranny hose to keep stealth looking. I hate all the crap the runs around under these hoods so I'm trying to clean it up on my way through. The fittings will depend on the cooler I get too but I think it will be the Tru-Cool.
