You're saying to connect hi+hi together and the wires are white/blue and blue/green. Your photos show you connected white/blue and white/black. Then black with blue/green. Wouldn't that be hi+low/hi+low?I would have imagine it would have been white/blue with blue/green. Then white/black...

Just throwing a few photos out there of my swap. I recently got a shell from Andrew Pinder here on tuners knowns as Pinder91. I have since gotten 'phase one' out of the way which includes ripping the awd components out of the car, purchasing an awd trans, trans case and axles. Enough talk...

if you live where it snows and cant drive it like me, then id start it once every other week. I let mine warm up then i give her a few mintues of easy revs to about 4-4500 rpms. I also pull mine on a tarp in my garage. Im usually down for around 3-4 months and put dryer sheets in the car on...

I won't go into that. But obviously something was a miss when it was built.

My 98gst was freshly rebuilt, on a block that never walked before. Less than 500 miles on a full build and my car died one day. Luckily I was backing it into it's parking spot for the winter. Long story short after checking everything with a multi meter I discovered it was my crank sensor...

Do your boost leak test like this. Then fix any leaks and take it back out and see how it runs.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdjadhUP1u4

Looks like a fairly clean ride. I would ask him when the timing belt was last changed. Seems like that is a must ask deal these days. Then I would ask him about the clutch. When it was changed, what kind of clutch it is. Of course you'll be taking his word on the clutch, but a visual of the...

First thing I would do is find a reputable shop in your area to do your work. If you are just taking it to be machined and then doing everything else yourself or having it built for you, make sure you can trust who ever is doing it and that they have experience in these motors.Second thing...

I just did a full rebuild so Ill try to throw you some input based on my experience.First off, LABEL EVERYTHING. I labeled every single bolt/nut/connector I took off. Aside from obvious stuff like injector connectors, battery terminals and the like everything had a piece of tape with a...

My clutch did this on a brand new build. Brand new act 2100, flywheel and tob. Erratic engagement, no leaking, properly adjusted. Then my crank sensor went out. 98 revised block crank walked with less than 500 miles on a fresh rebuild. End play was .062''. I wouldnt jump to that conclusion...

It's hard to hear over your exhaust, but like everyone else said sounds like lifters. I had my engine fully rebuilt the only thing I didn't replace was the lifters. Few hundred miles and I had some tick. I had them replaced with revised lifters and they still ticked until I parked it for the...

Fm's painted black now but clean enough.Your dsm gettin sideways...

I wouldn't. A gsx perhaps but a gst I wouldn't. If there is a washer in the crank sensor it's probably because it has walked or starting to walk and he put a washer in the sensor to shim it out some so the trigger plate didnt hit the sensor. If it has walked it'll walk again eventually no...

SIM did mine, give em a look ^^^

i think what he ^^^ is saying is have someone pump your clutch and hold it, then when u release the valve let the fluid and/or air run out then take your hand a push the rod (from the slave on the trans) back into the cylinder to blead the air out behind it. correct me if im wrong i may not be...

start looking for leaks. One place to make sure you check is inside the car near the rod that goes into the slave on the firewall. I had no noticeable leaks outside the car, it wasnt until i looked inside by the clutch pedal that i noticed my slave was leaking.

If you have lifter tick problems it may take a while to get rid of it even with revised lifters. I just had mine replaced after they started ticking. I had fully rebuilt my motor so when i heard it i was freaking out. Its been around 150 miles since then and i still have it. I may try the...

Ok so it wasnt great today but I did manage to get outside and snap a few photos of the covers on the car. I still didnt want to get on the ground and mount them, so I still need to figure that part out, for the pics they were just wedged in there.The first thing I did was look for...

The first time I read it I just skimmed over it, then as I started reading the next post my mind went "wait..wtf did I just read" lmao. Now I find myself checking back at this post once or twice a day to see any new developments that may occur.

I ended up shaving one of my junk allen wrenches down to fit in there. It wasnt perfect but I was able to get a few really nice tugs on it. It now sits in the glove box awaiting its next assignment. Since I was breaking in my engine hardly touching boost it wasnt an issue, and probably still...

Ahhh, I remember a year ago when I knew nothing about my dsm. Now ive completely rebuilt the entire motor, put in multiple gauges, exhaust, leather interior, safc's, avcr's, you name it. I dont think there is a bolt I havnt had a wrench on atleast once, most probably three times. Dude all you...

This is a good question. If you find an answer from some other medium be sure to post it here please. The bolt nearest the radiator is a pita to get to. I absolutely hate taking my j-pipe off. I've had two big leaks there with my vrsf pipe, and even after putting a new Oem gasket on there I...

Sorry to anyone that has been following this thread at all. The weather here in south western mi hasn't been friendly. Cold wet and not fun to be outside in. As soon as I get a decent day ill get extra pictures and get them mounted.-thanks

I read this to an entire room and we all are still laughing, I can't stop reading it lol.Then this just put the icing on the cake. Good sh_t guys.

Threw these together with some 3m carbon fiber vinyl from fleabay. Cost me $9.99 and around 30 total minutes. I'm still figuring out a mounting situation as it was wet today and I wasn't getting on the ground. Ill have a few more pics and an explanation of what I did tomorrow.Thanks

I wish I could help you out here, I just encountered the same problem. Car was running great until I went to park it, I stalled it out and when I went to start it back up it wouldn't. Now I have no spark. This thread has pointed me in the right direction. Its about time the search button did...

apparently not lol

I ordered my meagan dp from the fleebay last november, was at my door in a week. However if I knew PR was full 3'' set up I probably would have gone with them.

Been more than 24hrsYour dsm all dirty.

I read this post to get an idea of the format for my own build journal, but after reading all this I'm a bit bashful. Theres no way I could touch half of the stuff I just read. Quite amazing what you have done, Im a bit jealous (even tho that beautiful car is going to be a drag queen).

A little late to this but I recently had my motor rebuilt and had the Same problems, I ended up taking my rear prothane mount, turned it over so the insert part was facing up and put it on the edge of my bench and pushed down on it hard enough to spread it open a bit then hurried up and stuck it...

I agree with daren_p, start from scratch and go from there. Something you could also check is how your boost gauge is hooked up. Likely it's fine, but the guy I bought mine from had my pressure line hooked up and didn't zip tie it, so today I zip tied all the lines that werent and noticed my...

I think the year issue has been handled but as for the other q's. There's a recent thread for a record on a stock bottom end, ran at 39 psi and a 9.28 qm if I remember correctly, on a six bolt. For your speed needs, I'd suggest upgrading your fuel system before you do anything. Walbro 190-255...

Dude I used to have a pink escort gt, and I believed in my car, and surprisingly that made the girls believe in it too. Sure they'd laugh at it and make funny jokes, but we all laughed together and at the end of the day they thought it was cute that I believed in something even when no one else...

Let me reinsert myself here, what I was getting at with cheap tires, was that you'll be replacing them soon, because likely your reasoning to buy cheap tires was because of a budget issue. Where cheap tires with good tread, are going to be better than your bald kdw's, and will get u by for a...

Exactly what mine looked like. I did the exact same thing and also ported the other side of the waste gate housing to let the gases flow to the hole better, however I was completely filthy and didn't take any pics. Since I've done it, I can hold stock boost with no troubles. Glad you got the...

You should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, turn your motor over by hand after Doing anything with the timing. Could have saved yourself some trouble. You may have even broke a valve which could be tearing up your cylinder walls everytime u crank it. No compression on any of the cylinders?

Gave me chills to watch this man. Absolutely incredible. Enough said.

Well I've been drinking, so my apologies if I'm taking things the wrong way, not to mention emotion is lost threw texts/typing.

Title said "quick" how too, not a full on in depth how too, not to mention this was a circumstantial solder, not a general "solder every wire like this" instance. Threw in one small line about it not sticking without flux my bad. That joint is FAR BEYOND the strength it needs to be in this...

I agree with this, but the flux does allow the solder to flow better instead of bead up as it sometimes does. I just hear people saying "don't use flux" over and over but not giving me any reasons not to use it, almost making it as tho im wrong for doing so. Is there a drawback to using flux...

I validated my reasoning did i not?

yes i know what rosin is, as for the rest of the crap u said, i didnt know, when i heat the flux it melts down inside the rubber insulator which then draws the solder further down the wire, that way the wire doesnt just bend at the end of the insulator possibly breaking later on. If i dont use...

i use flux on all my stuff, and it works great, whats wrong with drawing the solder into the wire a little more, and why the #### are people so against it? Is there like a giant coalition of people proposing a ban on flux? You use your rosin-core solder, im alright with that, so be alright...

using flux draws the solder into the wire and into the spaces in between each individual thread of wire, ive cut wire after soldering it and it looks like once solid piece of silver wire, since your not using flux tho i see how you would need to do that, and i know its not a bad thing, ive been...

agree with everyone else about the cost deal, its soo easy to say, he owed me money, so i took this as payment. I always put down a few hundred just to make it semi legit, and i dont mind paying 12 dollars in taxes on it. In my state all you need is your title filled out properly, and a valid...

y not just get the best of both worlds, and go with a forced performance manifold. I got mine because its cheap compared to most, and is rated for hp well within my goals. Its cast, and def heavier than the pos ebay one that came on my car when i bought it, but i bet ill never have to replace...

Gosh man i know exactly what your going threw here. For undisclosed reasons i cant drive right now, and i just got my car legal five days ago. We've had the nicest weather we've had all year, and my baby is sitting a mere 20ft away from my window at this very moment. Ive been in it everyday...

want a few free hp? No offense, but if your a bit on the heavy side, lose a few lbs. Keep only what u need in the glove box. Remove the rear seats, plastics, etc. At around 8lbs a gallon of gas, keep it below a half tank at all times, this will also all improve your gas mileage. You get...

so did u buy this thing? Because just about everyone on this post said walk away from it, and be patient for the right one to come along, then u said u were gonna offer him 4700. I see nothing about an a/f gauge, nothing about a fuel pump or rewire. Nothing about an afpr, fmic, etc....the...
