I know how you feel!! it sucks but accidents do happen.. take everything off and inspect. especially the passenger side frame rail. from the pic, it looks like its bent in and hopefully its not the frame/fender well/shock tower thats affected.. But it looks like you're mind is set on trying...
do this first..and this....2G that my neighbor owns had the same issue.. srs and alt lights were on.. did everything as suggested above and ended up replacing the alternator and BAMMMM!! problem solved...
YES! It will def show there. But that wont cause it to flow inside your exhaust pipping.I'm thingking the leak is coming from the Valve SEALS. That would be the only way into the exhaus system. Unless there is something wrong with the turbo unit itself. Based on the pic though, most...
The rest has already been covered. grind it off. if it was a cotter pin and the other end broke of and all you have is the "nipple sticking out, grind it if u cant pull it out then use a pin punch to drive it out...Thats the first time I've seen a wastegate pop like a soda can on a hot CA...
^^^^^^^ i say hit em up ^^^^^^^^Guaranteed you bent the valves! when you take the head off inspect the pistons as stated. You mights as well change the water pump/timing belt/ as stated too. DO IT RIGHT ONCE and be done with it!! GOODLUCK
Any closer and I would offer my services for $200 plus a case of beer and a pack of cogs. LOL. An OEM clutch would run about $120-$160 at my local shop. The labor kills it however. They charge between $85-110/hr at a shop and normally it would take at least 3hrs to do the work. Don't forget...
Find a used block. Take it to a machine shop to have hot tanked and cyl walls honed. that should be the basic step. Maybe have the deck checked if it's in order. I don't know about your area but, where I'm at, there is a shop 5 mins away from me that sells an entire short/long block rebuild...
You might as well rebuild the entire head... But you can rent tools at kragens if you wanna try and do it yourself. If you do decide to do it yourself, make sure you seat the "keeps/keys/retainers" properly and double check them by putting a "17mm"socket over the retainer and "tap it with a...
I did a rebuild on my 1G a while back, I got everything installed right, double tripple checked everything and started it. RAN like crap!! Idled rough and when on load, felt like NO power whatsoever. I checked everything you could possibly think of and kept running like CRAP! I was stumped...
I dont know if this applies but this happened to my integra. On idle the car's temp is fine even when its been idling for 20-30 mins. When I start driving it, it would go 3/4 ways up on the temp guage. I change the thermostat as I thought that would be logical. I bled the system and it was...
First check the oil (dipstick) or drain the oil. If its the head gasket, then you would have a creamy looking mixture of coolant and oil. If not, then Headgasket is not the issue. Check the entire cooling system, radiator/hoses/water pump. Fill it up with water just as stated above, start it...
There it is!! I have seen a freakin TERCEL with a tow hitch on it..( not that he was towing anything at the time) But a TERCEL with 90hp +/- FWD?!?! A GSX will handle that trailer.. upgrade the suspension!!:thumb:
I'm afraid you're stuck with the vibrations. The price we pay for upgrades can sometimes be annoying and we have to sacrifice other things to ease them. I had that on my daily driven car before and had to go back to stock as I hit rush hour traffic everytime i go home. Raise the idle and it...
Most parts stores dont carry the O rings. They will have it but will try and match the size you have. Go there ahead of time and order an entire Injecttor O ring kit. Should come with the O rings and injector seats.When installing, try to use petroleum jelly to lube the O rings when you...
Boost leak would have been my first try but since its not; MAF sensor maybe? How high is the boost? also, wastegate not opening/closing? I ran into that issue before but it was because I had a bigger turbo and MAF wasnt reading accurately.
double check the fuses/relays. I had "rat" issues on my car a while back but it was the power windows. I found the wire that was chewed up but it would not work. Went trhough the wiring diagram and found that it was chewed up at the fuse box. I wonder how the stupid rats knew it was part of...
It's funny how I just went through the same thing! I had issues with my car turning left and would have a binding sound. and at high speed breaking, it would somewhat vibrated even with new brakes pads/rotors installed... It frustrated me so I took the thing apart and BAMMMM, WHEEL BEARING...
Hello again everyone.. I was a member here a while back. I was actually a member of a couple of DSM forums but I got out of the scene for a very long time.Anyway, I'm back again and hoping to find new tips/techs for an ongoing project I have at the moment. Maybe get some parts, trade or...
Hello everyone!! Thought i would register and see if i can get tips and see what other mods i can do to my car besides the basic bolt ons here and there..thank you!!clarence
