For the life of me, I can not get this holset to stop leaking between the center section and my @MorrisonFab fitting (which is beautiful by the way! Highly recommend).I have put a new gasket, leaked. Put small amount of RTV on each side of new gasket, leaked.I am at a loss, I know this has...
@Gunner Smith Looks like your map sensor on the left and your MAF connector on the right. MAP uses a vaccum/boost source from the intake manifold. Either use an existing port or drill and tap one. For the MAF you use two of the wires from that harness and connect them to your IAT sensor pigtail...
For a 2G (4G63),I will be using an AEM water Temp gauge in the 1/8 NPT hole in lieu of the dummy sensor in cluster.The ECU water senor wires broke off extremely close to the sensor and I am unable to repair them. Can I use the 5v wire from the AEM gauge, connect it to the ECU pin, and...
Eliminator, overkill for sure; however, I could not pass up the deal the got.. $150.00.@ec17pse - The purpose for the car as it sits now is just street driven and test and tune at the local drag strip.@jakelandry - The reason I did not go with an in tank is due to running the Vamos fuel...
Looking for anyone that has had any experience with the Areomotive Eliminator fuel pump.I will be running the Vamos 2g fuel cell with two -10 an fittings running to a -12 Y.12 Y / -12 line / pre filter / pump / post filter / -10 line to the rail.My question is what size return would be...
@llxkevinxll I appreciate the input. Same as Jet Hot, Swain Tech does not coat the internal portions of turbo parts (as I read on their site).As for your points #1 and #2, I agree I do not want to keep heat trapped in something that is trying to cool. Swain Tech also as a BBE coating that...
My 7 blade HX-35 center section has seen better days. I am getting a rebuild done, but before I send it out I am going to get it coated. The compressor housing is going to get a black powder, and the turbine housing a ceramic TBE (White lighting) from Swain Tech.My question is what coating...
I appreciate the feed back! Scratching the 1/2 rad idea and going with -20 Lines. Sorry for sounding ignorant with the big turbo/ 1/2 rad talk for autocross. Maybe those goals should be for another car another time. This car will be street driven on the weekends.@ec17pse I would be interested...
Hey everyone,Had cooling problems last time on the dyno. My tuner could only get a full pulls before overheating. I have the car torn apart and have been thinking about overhauling the cooling system and want to get your thoughts.Let me start by saying I'm not looking for answers of why I...
To start out, I would go ahead and read into the free mods. I pasted the link below.http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/basic-horsepower-ugrades-2g-4g63t.480196/#post-153440084I know its for 2g, but a lot of them you can still do.At the bottom is the next step when your ready to go on.I...
From Greengoblin, post #9 thread belowhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/new-electric-hydraulic-power-steering-pump-ehps.438221/Make sure it looks like this one.
Twicks69,
Thank you for that awesome post of information! I'm glad that information is out there now for anyone else having trouble like I was!Is this PSI safe to run, and not blow some rack seals? or did you end up controlling the pressure?
I have been searching high and low for information about installing my CLIO EHPS pump.I would like to use SS power steering line, but one outlet/inlet on the CLIO pump is a nipple. Not sure how I can make that work. As for the lines, does it matter what port is IN or OUT on the pump, also for...
Swap the GST motor into the GSX shell, and save your self alot of head ache.It would take a lot to swap all the AWD components over. If the GSX shell is good, that is what I would do. I am currently in the process of AWD swapping my GST, but the donor car i bought is rusted out.You would...
Has anyone on here installed fender flares?Looking to get a set from Carbonetics, to run 285 on 10.5R, but really dont know where to start on fabing these up or messuring what I need.
Hey guys,Building my gst into a
2.3l, E85, HX35 (.70), AWD weekend warrior. Having a hard time deciding an IM, and TB.Right now I have BC 272's, and ported 2g head.HP goals are to max the 35 out, so 550 +. I would like to keep the power band lower and have a good amount of torque. I have...
Thanks for the input guys! I failed to mention the AWD swap taking place right now. I didn't think it would have an affect on wheel tire set up. Now for the camber will i need to find an aftermarket set up as far as control arm etc.? i have tien SS coils, and a new bushing kit for the entire car.
Okay so not sure what size rims to get or what tire size would be a good fit. I want to run fender flares with a wide tire like 250 +.Should I buy flares first, and then decide on tires to fit the flares? or Flare to fit the tire? Also 17" vs 18" for road racing?1. My car is a:
b) 2g DSM2...
Thanks for the Input guys! I really do appreciate it. All those broken parts just seem to come with the power that I want. :/ Its the name of the game though.
Never thought of it that way, I guess it's all where your turbo power band is at and taking full advantage of the turbo. I am leaning towards the 2.3 for many reasons discussed in this thread.
Low end power is what I am after and the added stress on all my parts trying to shift at 11k just...
Thats a good thing to keep in mind about the trans, the reason the 2.2 destroked is appealing to me is that I don't see a lot of people building something like that. My buddy has a 2.3 stroked EVO8 and keeps recommending the 2.1l 2.2l ds, because you can take them higher up in the rpm, so on the...
Thanks for the input tenn!
With the 2.3 it's more displacement, but so would the 2.2, so wouldn't all the torque and power in the lower end be there in the 2.2 as well?
Been pondering the thought of building a 2.2l Destroker for my 99 gst that I will also be swapping to AWD.The Reason for the idea is just something that I do not see a lot, actually never seen. Ive read that with the destroked engines you can rev crazy high, but is there a trans that can...
Lesson Learned.I don't put any blame on the shop, should have checked my selfs for the surfaces to be in spec for the MLS.
I guess we can call this thread solved.Thank you everyone for the responses, and suggestions.
Yeah I'm kicking my self in the A$$ now for not just having that done. The Shop that I went through to get the head built said since the block is cast iron it should be fine and not warped, but with all these symptoms i'm having its all point to a bad matting area letting oil/coolant into the...
Okay so update on the compression test and leak down.Went to harbor freight to get my testers, and after using their products, I am not sure how much i can trust the numbers from these tests.Compression TestTest 1:
Cyl 1 148
Cyl 2 138
Cyl 3 154
Cyl 4 154Test 2:
Cyl 1 152
Cyl 2 136

Okay, I will work on getting a simply system to help out the oil getting in places it shouldn't for now. PCV will be switched out. Post up what I find tomorrow as far as the PCV goes.
Okay so" didn't get a chance to get my Leak down tester, or compression tester, (planning on either tomorrow or tuesday), but i did take of the intake pipe, checked turbo for oil, that was dry, but there was oil sitting at the bottom of the intake pipe before the compressor housing, and oil...
Re-torqued the studs after the ARP recommended 500 miles.If i were to look for valve stem seals by taking off valve cover what exactly would I be looking for.The head was decked, and the first shop i had taken it too said the block would be fine... should have just had it decked but lesson...
Compression test was done before tuning, and checked out good by Strickly. Things could have changed, so I will have to get a hold of my buddys compression tester. I'll also have to look up a leak down test as I have no knowledge of those.Just pulled off the hose off the PCV and found a good...
