Thanks everyone for the info so far. I ended up selling the car this was going to go into after realizing the engine I bought was toast. But I will probably rebuild it over the winter and tinker on it and maybe drop it into a 3000gt in the spring.There is so much misinformation about...
Opps big mistake in my post, its .3mm gap. I do have plans to check with a dial indicator but .3mm seemed to far gone. I was under the assumption .25 was the limit, Id better look into this other FSM.
Thanks for the reply, this is what I was afraid to hear, definitely got burned on this engine but man I should have checked the endplay when buying... Is it possible the bearings that were used were just out of spec? The wear on the thrust bearing surfaces doesn't look that bad in comparison...
So I recently bought a used 1998 engine from a local dsm guy for a quick budget refresh and run. I was told the engine was from a running car. I tore into the engine last night and found a lot of problems. Looks like the engine had a fresh rebuild. Head was still shiny, pistons were still shiny...

Are you sure on the version? They stopped making 1.3 a long time ago. Look on the board, in the bottom right hand corner it should say the Board Version, this is not the software version number if the board version is 1.7 then the MAFT will work for your 2g for sure, I think it will still work...
Walmart has cheap analog multi-meters that work great for this, pick up a set of alligator clips while you are there, it makes it a lot easier. Also I'm sure this is obvious but 2Gen (+) to #6 and (-) to #4.
Compare the blue spring that you have left over to the pictures in the instructions and see which one it is by looking at the spacing/size of the spring coils, and then report back.
First, not sure about the solinoid chatter because my car had no cat+catback exhuast so it was VERY loud, I seem to remember hearings a little bit of noise when I would select the gear from the shifter.Also are you sure you have the correct blue spring in the restrictor valve?Did you dig...
Now I just gotta install the Forced Four Shift Box I just bought, also I'm going to install paddle shifters along with it any recommendations of paddle shifters I should get? I was thinking these shown below, but any extra opinions would be great...
Sorry for the late response guys, thanks for your help, but I did figure the problem out. For anyone else installing this shift kit make your you use the correct springs lol.For the restrictor valve there are two spring choices, a dark blue and a light blue depending on which generation/type...
Well new day different problem, just got my 91 3000gt sl running after a 2 month rebuild but now am having transmission issues. The trans has only 90000 miles on it and looked very clean. You guys here know a lot more about these automatics than the 3si guys, so hopefully you can point me in the...
hey im wondering if a moderator can get rid of my probation cause im just here to look for some parts and read about turbos. I can prove my knowledge if needed lol:cool: But on other topics I really respect DSM's and kinda wish i had one instead of my stealth but too late for that. I joined up...
