I poked around more into the issue of the alarm being the cause of the issues, so I removed my aftermarket alarm system, but that didn't change anything. I also replaced the ETACS-ECU, and that didnt change anything either. Heres a video showing what exactly is going onMy power locks weren't...

Thanks for the replies I will look more into the alarm. When I open my door the lights and horn will stay on constantly, and not flash like if the alarm were tripped. Does anyone happen to know what the red and white wire lead to? I looked throughout all the diagrams in the factory service...

Hey guys, I recently installed fender flares on my car but I managed to hit my wiring harness in the driver side fender area with my drill and now I have some weird electrical problems. (pics down below). My car is a 98 gst automatic. Now my headlights and horn turn on when I open my door. My...

Hey guys I have a leak in the rubber section of my power steering return line that attaches to the rack. My question is how do you replace it? When I went down to oriellys my friend who works there told me that it can be replaced with just a regular hose. But when I went to change it out there...

It's normal to have that and I wouldn't do anything about it, I have worked on several heads and all of them have that break in it. It would be a big pain to file it down because of all the filings that you would have to remove, otherwise it could get into your engine and do damage to it. But if...

An easy way of seeing if your crank is in the right position is to remove the number 1 spark plug then put a long extension into the cylinder and find the point when the extension is at its highest point, that means your piston is at tdc and your crank will be in the correct position. I have...

Hey guys I'm planning out my 2.4 stroker build right now, but I'm deciding on what Pistons to get, the block I'm going to use is a 6 bolt block that has been bored out to 87mm. And I plan on using an oem 100mm crank. The goal is to put down max around 400-450hp to the front wheels. So I was...

The idler pulley is the big pulley on the right that is bolted to the block, the tensioner pulley(eccentric/smiley pulley) is what is used to set the preload tension on the hydraulic tensioner.The arm should be able to move freely when bolted down, then the tensioner pulley is rotated to set...

Using the stub shaft will eliminate the shaft that is driven by the oil pump, and the one driven by the belt can just be left in without the belt attached , I run it like this and don't have any problems

Hey guys, a while back the wires that go to my aem wide band got ripped out of the harness that connects to the O2 sensor, and I finally got around to repairing the wires, but I don't know which wires go into spot in the harness. it's an aem digital gauge but I don't know the exact model it is...

Boring the block will not raise the compression of the engine. The only way to do that is to get Pistons that have a lower dish volume. When selecting your compression ratio you also have to think about your goals of the car, if this is for a street daily driver then a 9.0:1 would be good...

Yeah this is normal because of the friction of the rings on the honed block, as you keep adding Pistons it gets harder and harder to rotate the crankshaft. It normally gets more difficult to turn about half way through the stroke. as it gets to tdc and bdc it'll feel easier to turn the crank...

If the head came off a 6 bolt block that means the head has been drilled for 6 bolt studs already. 6 bolts use 12mm bolts and 7 bolts use 11mm bolts and the head must be drilled out to fit the larger 6 bolt head bolts.If your head studs can fit through the head already then you don't need to...

before you buy bearings take your crank to a machine shop to spec it out to see if it needs any work done to it. But most likely you will need the standard size bearings. The different sizes are for people who have their cranks cut to remove imperfections in it.I would also talk to a...

The loud popping sound only happens if the torque converter is bolted to the torque plate when you try to bolt the teams to the engine, if you follow the correct procedure posted above then it will all go in correctly and you won't damage the pump or torque converter.

http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=224740Sorry I don't have any pics of my own for this, but this thread has good pics of the actual sensor and where to find it.

You don't have to buy one just yet, just look at it and see that the wires are good, and that the contacts on the plug and sensor are corroded and then you can decide what to do from there

That's because 6 bolts use a cam sensor alone, there is no actual sensor down by the crank.https://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=20980&cat=1060&page=1this is the part that is needed, but since it's been discontinued if yours is bad then you have to find a used one

6 bolts use a cam position sensor that is located on the back end of the intake camshaft, just look to see if it plugged in or not

any contamination from blow by gasses in your oil being the cause of your turbo failure is highly unlikely. The only way that blow by contaminants would do harm is if gasoline gets into your oil from very rich afrs and if there is a high enough amount it will thin your oil and you loose...

Td05 and td06 refers to the turbine housing which is the exhaust side of the turbo. What are your goals for the car? and also what car is this specifically for? First you should have some goals in mind then choose your turbo based on them. If you want a daily driver that isn't too laggy with...

Pte injectors should use oem seals and shouldn't need to be machined to work.By stock do you mean you are reusing the seals that were on your car previously? If so then reusing seals isn't ideal because they the seals become hard and brittle and they can shatter easily and can be a source of...

The lifters are not hard to remove, all you have to do is remove the camshaft then the rocker arms will just come off as the only thing holding them in is the camshaft and then you can pull out the lifters with your fingers. You will have to look at the hole on the top of the lifters to see if...

there is a possibility that your coil package have failed but before you spend money on parts check the resistance of the coils first, then if needed buy could if they are bad.Also check to make sure all of your wires are all plugged in and where it should be, it is possible that something...

That is the revised 7 bolt with the three piece thrust bearing, you need to pick up a set for a 98-99. When you go to buy it it should also say that it is the three piece set

Well what I meant by the back was where the trans and engine bolt together, sorry on that,As for the turbo return I looked closer and saw a small amount coming from up top but not sure where exactly it's coming from, but I don't think that it would cause the amount of oil that I am seeing...

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my 98 GST and oil is dripping onto my fron cross member and I don't see anywhere that it could be leaking from, at first I thought it was the pan, so I replaced it with a new one, but i can't see any oil dripping from around it or through any of the bolts. And...

The ports on the turbo core? The top one is for oil feed and the two on the side are for the coolant lines

Okay so I think I fixed it, I replaced the thermostat, diluted my coolant from 50/50 to something less than that and burped the system. I went for a quick 10 minute drive and then sat in a parking lot with the car on for around 7 minutes and yhe temp hasn't risen above normal.But another has...

Yes, both of the fans pull air though the radiator. Would a bad coolant temp sensor cause this? My car isn't throwing a CEL but every once in a while it will flash on briefly. Haven't been able to pull the code if it's still saved, but I'll try to find it later

Recently I've started to DD my 2gb GST and I've noticed that my temperature rises above normal when I'm sitting in traffic. I have 2 mishimoto slim fans wired up, and they're on my mishimoto radiator so they should be more than capable of keeping it cool.So I thought my fans weren't turning...

So yesterday while I was assembling my engine I bent my crank trigger plate, I did this when I was spinning the crank and then I felt some resistance, then noticed I had bent my trigger plate, it had gotten really out of shape after it had contacted the bolt that sits right underneath the plate...

hey guys, I've had this idea for quite a while now, but now that my engine build is almost done I thought I would start, or atleast plan for this one. What I'm going to do is get a cheap ebay hydraulic drift e-brake and modify it so it activates micro switches and will activate a roadsurge shift...

Thanks guys, I've got most of it figured out. and as for the washers, those are for the oil squirter banjos... Which doesn't really help me since I have the revised 7bolt lol.Oh and what about the back of the oil pump housing? That little piece that bolts onto the back of the front case? Does...

Hmm. Never thought about that, I will definitely try that once my engine is back in my car

Hey guys, so a while back when I was removing my engine I tore the brake booster line off of where it connects to the nipple on the intake manifold. I haven't been able to find any direct oem replacements for it, so would it be possible to use a piece of power steering line connect to the...

Hello, I just got a felpro bottom end gasket set from oreillys and I know that certain seals are meant to have rtv only like the oil pan gasket, but what else is rtv only? And what gaskets require a small amount of rtv on them? The kit also came with a whole bunch of gaskets and washers, but I...

I like the punishment racing housing a lot, the only down side is that it is very loud, it isn't too noticeable in the car... With the windows up and some music and stuff, but it's REALLY loud if you're standing outside,a lot of people who have never seen an atmosphere dump will always say that...

I would check out the trans fluid first as it sounds like something inside of the transmission is bad,I would drain it and check for discoloration or any particles in the fluid. The tcu is located on in the engine bay located in fron of front shock mount, you'll see it, it looks like a black box...

so I recently got my block back from the machine shop, and I checked my ring gap, and they are a lot larger than what it calls for in the Chilton manual? i'm using topline pistons with oem size NPR rings, so oem stuff, my goals are to run around 18-23ish psi on my 16g.my ring gaps: Cyl #1 ring...

Swapping in a 2jz would be a very difficult swap as it would need different mounts and a lot of custom work, and is a swap that no one has done before,As for the evo swap there really isn't any benefit to swapping in an evo engine as it is essentially the same engine to our 4g63s, so just...

does anyone know where I can get a new harness for my radiator fans? the previous owner upgraded the fans to mishimotos but he hadn't reused the old ones and decided to make his own harness, or are there any other solutions to fixing this? I've tried hardwiring it, with splicing thepower into...

It's kinda annoying but you get used to it, what I hate the most is if I'm trying to change lane and some one is next to me and I try to over take them, for some reason everyone speeds up thinking in trying to race or something :confused: It gets really annoying, but I just slow down once I get...

I would also suggest a lifting chain as well, most auto parts stores should also sell lifting chains that allow for some adjustments but are also cheap like this one from oreilly...

If the original owner kept on tightening it, I would check to see if he stripped out the bolt holes. If he did then you would have to put heli-coils in or just tap it to the next size up. As for the lengths, I think that the longer ones go on the inside of the vc so next to the spark wells, and...

I am having troubles with the install of my avid racing motor mounts into my 2g auto, I got the mounts when I bought the car from the previous owner about a year ago, but am only putting them in now that im doing my rebuild, but anyways the problem is that im trying to put in the transmission...

ok cool I've found pretty much everything I need, but the only thing is that Im still looking for pistons, I hear that NPR/Nippon are oem pistons. im only looking for oem since I still have the stock t25 running stock boost, so manley or wiseco are a bit too pricey for me since Im not making...

Hello, im going to be rebuilding the engine in my 98 GS-T and was looking around or what kits to buy, im going to be replacing pretty much every thing, but looking online everyone seems to be pretty torn on the quality of the engine rebuild kits available on ebay, but after reading through most...
