Yes @Spleen8urLSX has done it. I belive he was around or above the horsepower you are wanting but I can remember for sure. Hopefully he can chime in here.I'll take a picture here of the difference between the 1g turbo and n/t ring lands. It's not a lot especially considering the turbo is...
It'll be fine as long as the tune is good.Stock bottom end 2g's start to show weak points around 450ish but usually it's the rods or bearings that guys have issues with after multiple passes. Normally when you do see pictures of someone that had piston issues there is obvious detonation, or...
NPR pistons are very close to an OEM equivalent piston. You'd have to have the small rod ends machined by a machine shop to accept the 22mm wrist pins that the 7 bolt pistons will have. (You probably already know that)Another option is evo 8 pistons. They bring the compression up to around...
You should be fine with a stock replacement clutch.There are very few people who have built our engines in N/A form which put out enough power that the stock clutch isn't enough.
I've used several G4CN cylinder heads without any cam interchange issues. I know it's not the exact same engine but I can't see why they would redesign the cam journals for a similar engine. If you measure the diameter of your cam journals one of us can give you the measurements off one of our...
If it's like the US 2.0 sonatas the intake ports are in-between the size of the 1g and 2g ports.What isn't great about them is that the ports are still centered with the manifold studs where the 2g ports have the floor of the port raised but the roof is in the same spot a the 1g which gives...
Definitely is not for our cars. Way too long in the snout. There should only be 2 "step" downs after the front main bearing journal and there's 3. The step after the main journal should be round and as you noted it has flats for an oil pump drive or something. It does have 7 bolts..... so I...
You probably have but I didn't see it mentioned in the thread if you have checked the strut mounts?That is the moog part number for a right control arm for 90-94 eclipse/talon/laser
Its going to depend on how bad that engine is and what you can do yourself rebuild wise. Looks like it saw plenty of water/moisture but the bores may clean up with just a good hone or they could be pitted so bad you have to bore it 1mm oversize. If you can't rebuild then engine yourself the...
If you can get one axle out I believe you should be able to run a long punch thru the diff to the other side and use that to knock the other axle out. I've not done that to a DSM before but don't see why it wouldn't work. Unless the diff pin is so big that you can't get a large enough punch thru...
Also found this belt for you since you found me the T-5 gear ratios yesterday :)https://westcoastbelts.com/product/new-replacement-belt-for-use-with-a-fortress-27-gal-air-compressor/
If it's like the dewalt ones I have worked on you'll need take the bolt out of the rod and you should be able to sneak the belt between the piston and the crankshaft/flywheel. Hopefully the bolt just goes straight into the crank. It's on a bearing so I don't see any reason for a bushing between...
I'd certainly agree on the timing belt 100% but I would have to respectfully disagree on concern with the cylinder bores and an overhaul. As long as the engine was sitting under a closed hood with a full exhaust and intake system on it moisture has a very long path to go to get to the cylinders...
Wondering if anyone out there happens to have the gear ratios for a T-5 out of an 05 v6 4.0 Mustang. Trying to do some speed calculations and not having much luck finding the v6 gear ratios. Seems like it's all v8 stuff I'm finding or doesn't specify its for the v6. Have a pic of the trans tag...
Sounds like you're all set then. I never know how much someone knows that's posting on here so I try to give as much info as possible.Years ago back when I had my first dsm I rebuilt a spare 7 bolt engine I had picked up for my 94 eclipse. Unfortunately for me I bought a 2g 7 bolt and after...
Just to be clear this may or may not work and if it does work it is more so just a band-aid to the situation and is not a long term fix. Sounds like you understand that but just wanted to clarify.Also not sure where you got the engine from that you are rebuilding but the 4g64 does come in a...
So you are rebuilding a different engine for the van but are trying to keep the one in the van going in the meantime?If so I would try pulling the plugs on the engine and pour a cleaner like berrymans or seafoam into the cylinders and let it sit a day or two. Change the oil and add 1 qt lucas...
It's definitely able to be done in the car. Once the pump clears the snout of the crank you have to let the oil filer housing end of the cover drop down to clear the frame.Another way is to slide the cover out enough to get the bolts off that hold gear housing and then remove the cover and...
Looks like you need part number 04668291 (LEVER, Manual Control) but unfortunately seems to be discontinued everywhere so it will be a junkyard only part
Those superchargers max out around 14 psi. You can spin them faster to get maybe 17 or 18 but they are so inefficient at that point that the air is so hot all you do is hurt performance.It would be a very unique and cool build so if you're going for the unique factor go for it but you will be...
Have you been able to dig into any of the manual transmissions we had talked about a few months back? V6 Compacts with manual's are some peppy cars. Years ago I rode in a dodge shadow with the 3.0 v6 with a manual and that thing was fun!
You'll be all good here. While the site mostly caters to the 4g63. There are a few guys with 3000GT's on here and others that are familiar with them. There's a guy that's putting a 4g63 in a Honda on here and he hasn't gotten any hate or had any problems so you are perfectly safe here with a...
The 2900 MAX is what it probably is. They have part number MB010XX on them.EDIT: Actually it probably is a 3200 now that DSMPT mentioned it. There is enough space that theres probably 3 "x's" not just 2
Looks like casting flaws that a lot of these pumps have. Testing it with alcohol isn't a bad idea since it sounds like you don't know the history of the engine but looks like many I've had or seen
Sell it and buy a turbo car or pay someone to do the swap for you.Other than that there is no "easier" way. You got a car that has a different engine than what you want and to change the engine you need a different wiring harness and different transmission. There's no "easy" solution to those...
For a 6 bolt in a 2g you will use the 6 bolt timing cover. It will have to be trimmed to fit around the 2g motor mount. Upper cover that goes over the top of the belt is the same on all cars so it doesn't matter which one of those you use
Heavier pressure plates and "race" clutches are hard on transmissions. If you have something that grabs hard it puts a shock load on the gears. Sprung OEM type friction disks and the weakest pressure plate that holds will allow more slip when you let the clutch out which helps to not shock load...
You will have some oil end up in the valve cover baffles and some will get past the rings into the cylinders. It won't hurt much but it will probably be quite smokey when you start it up at first. If you don't have a catch can I would recommend making a makeshift one to run on the car for a bit...
Has anyone figured out a good way to remove the bushings for the cam caps in the cylinder heads without ruining them?I have a cylinder head that someone removed all the bushings from. I was hoping to take a set out of a junk head but they crush easily and my blind hole puller attachments for...
Probably a rod bearing on its way out. Hopefully it hasn't spun yet but since you beat on it while it was knocking your chances are pretty good that it's spun now.In my opinion since you beat on it while it was hurt it's not the responsibility of the engine builder to fix the excess damage.
I always have to come to this conclusion on so many projects I had planned around this time of year. I'm sure the feeling is mutual around the entire car community.
There is no simple 1.8 to 2.0 swap. I would recommend sticking with the 1.8 unless you have some serious time and money to put into it. If you need 1.8 engine parts you can ask around on here. What is wrong with your 1.8?
I had a 95 years ago and it was very picky which scanners it would connect to. I believe this is because OBD2 technically started in 96. I always was able to get a snap-on scanners to connect to it but other brands were hit or miss. Cheaper scanners almost never would connect. This was back in...
The SRT-4 engine cannot be used since they are all 2003 or newer and have a different style crank pick-up. You can use the rods and pistons from an SRT-4 which are about the only upgraded part on turbo 2.4 vs the n/a 2.4. If you plan to run off the stock 2.0 computer you really need the turbo...
Anyone ever seen a maf translator with spark adjustment? IIRC all the ones I have seen before just have dials for fuel. I could definitely be wrong tho. Just trying to find instructions for it. Going to put it on a very mild built daily driver.
If you go to ebay sold history to see what the unobtanium parts go for on there I would ask that or a little less. It will keep people from buying them to gouge on eBay and since you are the one bringing the parts to the market you deserve the profit. Also like the idea of limiting one per order.
You need to do a leak down test and then tear the engine down and figure out if you need to have machine work done or if it just needs new rings, bearings, gaskets, ect. If the cylinder bores are tapered or crank journals are out of round you need machine work done and need undersize bearing...
You are confusing a compression test with compression ratio. Common mistake. Compression ratio is a calculation of the volume at TDC vs volume at BDC. A low compression ratio engine will generally have lower compression test results but in your case you are loosing compression past the valves or...
That compression is low for a 420a.You need to worry about how to tune the car more than anything. The stock internals can live around 6-8 psi for a while if you have good tuning software and a good tuner. Any more PSI than that and they won't live long. The block is actually quite strong on...
For the 1g I believe the relay is located on the engine bay firewall right behind the battery. The relay is on some wires coming right out of the main harness.
The biggest issue with the Chinese turbos is longevity. They usually "work" but it's just a question of for how long. I've bought several engines and/or cars that had china turbos on them and they all burned oil. Most of them were fairly new. The one car I got really cheap because the guy had...
A lot of the cars I buy have been sitting for a long time and the fuel hangers look like what you have there. Most of the crusty stuff on there is probably varnished fuel and not rust. Usually the hangers clean up pretty nicely. Alcohol works good or get a bucket and fill it with e85 and let the...
