So after finally working out my ECUflash problems and getting a new reflash sleeve to replace the defective one, I was ready to tune the DSM. Or so I thought. I have PTE 1200cc injectors, and was following the instructions on ceddy's website on how to scale the injectors and plug in values for...

So.I've spent the better part of 20 hours installing/wrangling this black box ECU. I am unable to log for more than 10-15 seconds on Evoscan, and I cannot read or write the ECU at all in ECUflash. I get two messages alternatively on ECUflash, "J2534 error [ERR_TIMEOUT]," and other times...

So I overtorqued one of the bolts on the front case. I just wanted to make sure it was tight like an idiot. I really didn't even go nuts on it, but sure enough, boom. lost the head off of it. It was really the most inopportune of the bolts in the front case as well, because I can't get at it...

I really haven't been able to find what I was looking for via the search function, so I figured id post up here. I have a set of 272 regrinds i picked up about 6 months ago. Not sure why I didn't look them over thoroughly, they looked fine at the get go, but one journal on one cam is scored up...

So I hadn't worked on my car in quite a bit, I ended up soaking a bunch of bolts in water + degreaser, then didn't touch it for several months. The degreaser seems to have dissipated, and the bolts have rusted a little bit. They have sat for so long, I have thought about replacing the hardware...

Bleh, my gauge cluster needles are no longer lit, all of a sudden today they no longer light up. I can forsee this being a problem at night. I have indiglo inserts in there, they have been installed for over 6 months now with no problems, don't know if this is related, they light up just fine...

Bleh, so I was making some modifications to my intake manifold, specifically where the vacuum line from the bov connects to the im. I wanted to run a stainless line in its place, so i decided to drill and tap the manifold to accept a 1/8 NPT to -4AN fitting. Drilled the hole to 21/64". Went...

I just pulled my cylinder head and i need some basic machinework done on the head and my flywheel. Can anyone reccomend a good shop in Tucson? I don't want a hack job, just want it done right the first time. If I get one response here ill be pleased. Tucson DSMers unite!

My money is on no, it doesn't look like the other used one I have. Bought it off ebay, was advertised as OEM. I know sometimes there are variations, so I thought id double check before I sent a vehement message to the ebay seller. Submitted for your approval/disapproval:Thanks!

Selling My Evo III turbo setup, going t3 and im replacing all of it. Up for sale is the following, intake to exhaust:2G maf - 40$Genuine MHI Evo III 16g, internally wastegated with evo actuator. This turbo was rebuilt by tron2119, ran possibly 200-300 miles at the very most, MINT. Almost no...

First of all, this isn't about a broken exhaust manifold stud. God knows there are enough threads about that. PO stripped out the the top left M8 manifold stud, tapped and drilled to M10. When he tapped it, it looks like he attacked it with a grinder, the hole is gaping, but it was threaded...

BLEH i thought i could make another thread and delete this one. One of the mods, could you shit-can this thread? Thank you!

I've had a hell of a time trying to find a new oring set for my 1200cc injectors from PTE. I bought a set from SIM, but apparently they are only for injectors through the 1000 size. PTE doesn't even show a 1200cc set, only 1600. I called them up and asked them about it, and they said that the...

Not sure where to post this, so I will post it here. e85 was born from the governments need to create alternatives to crude oil refinement as a source of power. Now, with the subsides from the government that have driven e85 as a cheaper alternative to pump gas set to expire this summer, the...

I guess I should start from the top. My automotive career, at least professionally, started with Honda. I find it particularly funny that I have become so fond of Mitsubishi 1G's and 2G's. I worked for Honda for 5 years, working in the parts department and as a service writer. However, I...

So currently I have a walbro 255 in my car, its been sitting since im not in arizona for the summer. When I get back, ive picked out the following to upgrade, most it already bought except for the inline pump. stainless lines from tank to rail fuelab fuel filter (long) inline walbro pump or...

Hey I've done quite a bit of reading on alternators, did the saturn swap a month ago or so, and ive decided im going to run a larger gauge wire to the battery from the alternator. My question is, do i keep the existing 2 white factory wires or snip them? I'm unsure which way to proceed, I know...

So I realize many of these problems in the newbie forum involve check engine lights that people get. I, however, have never thrown a check engine light in the three months I've driven this car. Crank position sensor horribly bad, no cel. Alternator gone bad, no cel. Pulling both o2 sensors...

So, I had my exhaust rewelded so it hung correctly about 2 weeks ago. Today, I was driving and I suddenly had smoke coming out of the engine compartment. Pulled over, popped the hood, and saw the downpipe was leaking. Jacked it up and looked underneath, turns out the idiot from the exhaust...

I've been searching around forever on some tutorials on how to tune around emissions CELs using ceddymods and ecuflash. I can't seem to find anything, I would really appreciate someone's help on this, id be more than willing to help you out if you help me out. I'm sick of trying to find what I...

So, I have everything I need basically to get started on tuning. I've gone the 1999 ecuflash route, and looked at a bunch of threads about the topic. However a few different things aren't clear to me in my searching. I have a 1997 GSX.-Will I need to flash the ROM to my '97 specific...

So two things that I am trying to connect are happening to my dsm. When I was driving, the lights started flickering for some reason all of a sudden. When the car was stopped, the lights would not flicker. When I would depress the brake, the headlights would flicker. So after driving around...

So, I bought a grille set for my 97 GSX to spruce it up a little bit. I like the look, but after learning more about the FMIC install, it has gotten me thinking. Will the grille restrict too much airflow to my FMIC when installed? I think I will be able to salvage enough of my front bumper to...

So check out my ricermobile exhuast:I had to jack up the exhaust and rachetstrap it just so I wouldnt be dragging it, and it still bottoms out on highspots. I guess it will work until I fix this beast.I'm pretty sure I bolted the cat in correctly, i did an o2 to muffler swap with the...

As anyone that has shopped ebay has learned, there is not a wealth of information on the products on the listings. I am looking for a short throw shifter, im not worried about the cosmetics of the shifter as I am the installation and craft. I've found two distinct types, hopefully someone has...

Looking for a blown mitsubishi turbo 16g, need a turbine housing for my evo 3. If anyone has one or knows someone that has one let me know. Will pay cash $$$ on the spot no jacking around. Thanks

So, I got in all my exhaust parts for my turboback megan system, save for the down pipe. Megan tells me that they are backordered and they will be getting them in June. I've got everything else ready to go, I checked a few other places, and they don't have it. The specific part is:Megan...

Hey, so I've been knocking out all the little issues with my car the past couple of weeks , doing all the fluid changes and checks, and about the last issue is a low thumping noise coming from the rear of the car when shifting. I've searched around the forums, and the consensus on this sort of...

I have a 1997 GSX with the stock infinity deck and amplifier. I am keeping the infinity amplifier for now, I took out the stock deck and am trying to install a new one. So, I am wiring a new deck (JVC) into this wiring harness:Most of it is self-explanatory, connect wires to like wires...

I searched around for a bit, but can't find an answer to this particular question. I am piecing together a turbo, I bought a real nice rebuilt evo 3 compressor, and a hahn t3 turbine (internal gate) housing. I am using a megan racing o2 housing for the exhaust, my question is more on the...

Hey, im new here, registered about a week ago, been using this site as a reference, its pretty amazing actually. I am a 4x4 guy, just moved to Tucson via Chicago to go to University of Arizona, back at school again finally, im 27. My roommate had a 1997 GSX sitting in the driveway, I loved it...

So I've spent like 2 hours searching for door moldings as the one on the gsx i just bought are flaking off. I can't seem to find them anywhere, and as there isn't a mitzu dealership in Tucson, was hoping that someone knew where to find them? I used the search function but all the threads on...

I went cheap on a new bumper, didnt buy oem and went with one off ebay for 80$. Hopefully it wont bite me in the ass. Anyways, I noticed the OEM bumpers have a recessed area for the mitzu logo, the one I am buying does not. I'm getting a cheapie paint job for now, probably just going to have...

Resolved thanks

Hey, I've been creeping these forums for quite some time now, just getting schooled on all sorts of information on dsm's. This is my first tuner car, I kind of just fell into it, I have been mostly a 4x4 guy, but I moved to Tucson, Arizona and picked up this car as a project, and have been...
