Yes

I just ran out to my garage and pulled the oil pump apart to see what the problem was. The gear that rides on the timing belt turns hard and wobbles, and the gear inside the pump looks like it was chewing up the housing.

Thanks for the input, I ran it for about 2 or 3 miles cruzin at 55 before I relised I had no pressure. Clearance was on the loose side after the first build, going to take it all to my local machine shop and have them go over it.

Cylinder doesn't look abnormal to me, it's a virgin block so if it comes down to it I will bore and go up a size. It feels smooth, can't put my fingernail into anything.

Had my oil pump fail with in 100 miles of a rebuild. Trying to figure out what is salvageable. Crank is being checked at a shop, I'm concerned with my pistons. The wear is the same on all, and there is no scoring. Dont know if this is normal or abnormal. Read that coating isnt supposed to...

Well guys it came down to user error. I didn't tighten the feed line on the side of the 90, just on the 90 where it went to the turbo. Had I left the car running when i seen all the oil on the ground I would have seen that. :ohdamn:

Thanks for all the input guys, I think I figured it out. The kit I have advertised -10 an, I pulled it all off an measured it, its only 1/2 inch inside diamater. I seen a post where a guy drilled out his oil pan and made a adapter that bolted in the factory location that moved his line size up...

I will defiantly try that

Also with the oil pan full should oil be coming back out the drain?

So I got my car together today. For the oil drain I bought a kit, and cut the mitsubishi steel line near the oil pan and had to really stretch the hose hard to get it on there. Car ran for 30 seconds oil dumped out the compressor and exaust on the turbo. I'm thinking the drain is way to small...

I love extremepsi too, they listed those as the clamps that go with it and they work just hard to get on

I bought these clamps from extreme psi with my new coolant lines. You have to take the nuts off lube up the spots they go and work them on hard, then use channel locks to get them to close enough to get the nut on. They work great just fit hard.

All ecus function about the same way. That expensive haltech isn't doing anything extra for your car over top of what ECMLINK does. I run a megasquirt on my 4g63. Theres nothing my megasquirt can't do that ECMLINK or haltech can't do. A better way to look at it would be ECMLINK is more plug...

You could always put it back if you didn't like it, I didn't cut anything just unbolted and rearranged. What surprised me was how easy it was. I'm not to the driving part on my car yet, still working out how everything is going together. I bought a mighty max ofh and I need to get a alternator...

I just unbolted everything and rearranged the brackets. I did have to wrap the cable around the intake but as far as free mods go it works.

I'd defiantly go ms3, just for ease of use. Tunerstudio is pretty straight forward. The maps you pretty much build yourself. You put in your base engine settings than desired hp and it makes a base for fuel, usually rich than tune from there. For the ignition map I just studied a base 2g map...

Im running ms1, I bought it when ms2 first came out. The ms1 can do pretty much everthing the others can.

Just wanted to share, its not supper clean but I'm happy how it turned out. 92 laser awd running megasquirt.My car no longer has a mfi relay. There's one relay for the fuel pump than 2 fuses one for injectors one for coil. The ms directly drives the coil so no ignition module. The engine...

+1 on the rebuild option. Open that can of worms. My first dsm I blew 3 head gaskets in 6 months cause I was young dumb and loved the boost, before I warped my head to the point it wouldn't reseal. I got to where I could swap out the head gasket in about 2 hours in my yard and be driving...

Thanks, that seems correct

Just picked up a 92 laser. Car was full of garbage while cleaning I found these cops. Does anyone know where I should look on them for a serial number? I was thinking of running them unless they are some cheap off brand.

Those plugs seem way to clean, would of like to seen a little more brown on em. Does your car still have the egr valve? if yes maybe its stuck open, if no maybe your getting some leaking around that area. My first block off plate I bought didn't seal right, I than made my own out of thin sheet...

Wouldn't mind seeing what the old plugs look like might help. Mine idled like that once I got it back together, I double checked and seen my ignition timing was a bit off and I was running too rich. My wideband was jumping around like that until I got it lean enough, the line stabilized and so...

Thanks for the detailed info, like I said I'm a turbo newb. Thats defiantly more power than I was planning on making, going to have to rethink a few things.

Thought I was buying the non chinese version of the one on the right.

Just bought a rebuild older garrett t3 turbo specs are 62mm 82mm billet wheel 74mm/62mm in a .63 housingI tried math, had my daughter help, came up with it being a 57 trim. I looked up t3 57 trim seen dynos for around 400 ish hp. I was thinking it would be 45 lbs/min, but I looked up that...

Its not as hard as you might think to make up some ladder bars. Most of the brackets where made from scrap metal my friend had laying around his shop. The problem we ran into was, when we'd turn up his Lincoln welder to get the metal hot enough we'd end up tripping the circuit breaker. So I...

Thanks for the input, going to figure what it will take to add a knock sensor.

I run a megasquirt and don't have aI run a megasquirt and didn't build the knock sensor circuit, been thinking about doing that. I believe it was three things, too much timing, not enough fuel and pushing the little b14 too hard. I hate to say, before that piston melted that car pulled the...

I just thought I would share my journey, that started 10 years ago. I found a 1990 eagle talon with 65k for sale. It was in a wreck and didn't run. The wreck caused the old owner to install a new trans and attempt to delete the turbo. I bought the car, brought it home put in fresh gas and...

I picked this car up for $500, it has 49k org miles on it. Its been sitting in a garage for about 6 years. The PO got into an accident and took all the turbo stuff off the engine and attempted to drive it like that. I converted back and it runs like great. The damage to the body looked...
