Well. I bought a "built" shortblock from a member here, I know, I really should have checked this when I bought it. I was short on time and rushing a little though so it's my fault. The block was allegedly used under 8k miles in a 500hp build. Weisco pistons, Eagle rods, ACL bearings.
I was...
How's it going everybody. So, I had a parts car that I recently stripped down, and it had this ECU. At first I didn't think anything of it, the car was originally equipped with a 4g37, so I just assumed that was the ecu for it. However, after doing a little reading, it seems that Colt guys are...
Alright. I have my head off, working on cleaning up and polishing ports. I'm working on the combustion chamber right now, and it looks like someone has attempted to grind some of the caster before me. I don't know if he pressed too hard, slipped, or what, but there seems to be some questionable...
Alright, so here's the deal. The car is a 1990 gs-t. A little bit ago while I was replacing my exhaust manifold gasket, I noticed a couple of my cylinders looked a little wet, and the valves looked like they could use some cleaning. At a bare minimum I plan to pull the head, replace valve seals...
Alright. 1990 GS-T, when I got it, the clutch would not disengage. Dropped the transmission, replaced the clutch, throwout bearing, clutch fork, and pivot ball (the pivot ball is not shimmed). The system has been bled numerous times to make sure that wasn't the issue. Did not notice any leaks or...
Alright, I'm going to be tackling some body work/paint soon on my 1g. I have the white with the black roof/side trim. I see alot of people just paint the trim the same color as the car, but I like the look of the black trim. I was thinking it may be easier to remove the trim while I paint, and...
Hey guys, I'm trying to find where to buy clutch bolts, the ones that bolt the clutch to the flywheel. I can find flywheel bolts everywhere, just not having luck finding clutch bolts. I have one that is broken off into the flywheel. Thanks for the help guys!
Hey guys, have a quick question. I'm doing a clutch job on my 1990 gs turbo. I found one of the clutch bolts broken off in the block with no part of it sticking out. What would be some recommendations of getting it out? Just drill it out and re-tap the hole? Just looking for some ideas. Thanks...
Alright guys, I'm going to be pulling the motor on my 1990 GST. I've never pulled a motor before so this will be a good learning experience for me. I've already dropped the transmission, pulled the turbo and manifold, and am starting to disconnect everything I see hooked up to the motor, and...
Hey, I have a quick question, the turbo on my 1g is old and leaking a little oil and my brother has a stock 1998 2g turbo that he's willing to give me to replace it. Are they the same turbos and will it just bolt right up? Should I ask him for the 2g manifold as well? Thanks!
Hey guys, I recently picked up a 1990 GS-Turbo in a trade. I got it from the original owner who bought it brand new back in 1990. It even had the original bill of sale in the glove box! However, it has 195k miles, a little body damage, and just needs some overall love. I've already started...
Hey, just picked up a 1998 eclipse with the 420a for $300, so cheap because the rod was knocking somthing fierce. The body was straight so I figured why not? Ended up blowing the motor attempting to get it home so I'm on the lookout for a 420a and tranny to swap in. I do plan on building and...
