Every instructional on camshafts installs seem to show how to do it with the engine still installed in the car. I am wondering how much different it is when I have everything sitting on the engine stand? I might be overthinking but I would like to double check. Do I just bolt the cam gears onto...

I am in the process of relocating my battery in the cabin. I am extremely illiterate when it comes to electrical jobs and usually require step-by-step instructions to make any sense of it for me. (Damn it Jim. I'm a welder, not an electrician!) I have been attempting to follow Jafros diagram but...

I am currently gettinga 6 bolt with CP Carillo 9.0:1 pistons and eagle h-beams built. My engine builder/machinist told me that I needed to block off the squirters, because there wasn't a notch in the piston for the squirter. He claims that because it's an aftermarket forged piston, it won't...

So I am currently in the process of swapping in a 92 6 bolt into my 97 GST and I am unsure what kind of valve guides will suit my build. I do not want to spend the money on aftermarket ones if some brand new OEM ones will work just fine. I currently have a bare head ready to be built. Nothing is...

So the other day my car got pretty hot when my 16g's coolant hoses rubbed together and split. I noticed that my FP manifold had cracked as well. it doesn't look like it went all the way through. will this be fine or can I weld the cracks?

Before I start, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, as I do not know what kind of problem this is. BLT: up to 20psi no leaks except for dipstick Compression check: #1 - 180 #2 - 160 #3 - 160 #4 - 160 It has a new PCV valve, fuel filter, NGK BPR7ES plugs, battery, and alternator. I...

Hello, I'm running an E316g with Evo9 injectors stock motor. I noticed that the turbo was taking longer to spool up and I was hearing a strange noise that sounded like plastic hitting repeatedly under light load. My boost leak tester did not want to pressurize past 5lbs and the only leaks found...

I know the SA forum is dead as hell, but it's worth a shot. Anyone recomend a good shop to get my GST tuned at? It's a 97 with ECMlink V3. I'd do it myself, but I'm worried I'll screw something up. If I had someone explain the process to me as we were doing it, I could grasp it. However, just...

A simple answer, but I can't find a definite one. I'm reading that of the 4 wires from AEM's uego wb, you wire the white wire into pin #75 for the rear O2. Am I splicing in the white wire from the gauge or am I completely replacing the wire to the rear O2 sensor with the gauge wire? MS Paint...

So this all happened at the same time so I can only imagine that they're correlated. I'm currently throwing 5 codes, P0443,P0446,P0403,P1104, and P0335. The first four are ones that have been on the car for a while and I'll fix them with link when I install it, but the P0335 is the new one I...

Hello, my 97 gst is lowered with eibach springs and tokico struts. I just installed an rm sway bar and prothane bushings all in the rear. I wanted to try and fix my rear camber with the washer method using 4 washers on each bolt. When I took the car to the dealership for an alignment, the tech...

Haven't found anything on this so I figured I'd ask. I have an FP race manifold sitting on my shelf waiting to be installed. I'm using an E3 16g and a flashed 98 ecu. Would it be safe to go ahead and bolt up the manifold before I get dsmlink and adjust the tune? Is it going to disrupt airflow...

So I replaced the 3 PS hoses and the pump after one of the hoses blew and I had to drive with a fluid-less pump for a while. (It was the original pump and needed a replacement anyways). Well I did all that and I bled the system. I have tried every way. wheels on ground with car off, wheels on...

Hello, I acquired a '92 6 bolt block a while back for cheap. I also got a 7 bolt head but it appears to be from a 1g. It has the CAS under the intake cam gear and the other side is plugged. I know I'll need to port the holes for the head studs but what else do I need to do to use this head? How...

Hello. I'm planning on doing a 6 bolt block/7 bolt head swap into my 2g. I'm debating on if I should do an oem build on the block. I still have the stock crank, pistons, and rods. If all I need is new rings, bearings, etc.. is forged really worth it? How can I check to see if the crank needs to...

I replaced the coolant temperature sensors that go to the ecu and the gauge about a year ago. yesterday my car started over heating, and I noticed my sensors were both and blackish blue/green where it was originally the brass color. I have no external coolant leaks, my t stat is relatively new...

I've installed onto my Evo III 16g an eBay open dump O2 housing. It's for the internal wastegate and I have a new turbine housing from eBay that hadn't given me any issues. When I installed the open dump, it constantly sounds like the car is running an open downpipe. I thought it was supposed to...

When changing the bulbs on my gauge cluster, I (stupidly) pulled the tachometer needle off thinking that's how I replaced the bulbs. Well since I didn't mark it, it doesn't read accurately anymore. I tried putting it in different positions and nothing seems to work. The actual engine speed isn't...

By dash lights and tail lights went out a little bit ago. I unplugged all my tail light bulbs and put them back in and it fixed the problem for a bit, I did notice that the one of the bulbs behind the tachometer went out so I replaced all the bulbs behind the gauge cluster. I bypassed the dimmer...

Picked up an old 6-bolt that I plan to rebuild and swap into my 1997 GST. My original plan was to build the 6-bolt block and head but now I am unsure if I want to use my 7-bolt head. What are the benefits of each one and what do you guys prefer? Before I do the swap I'm going to get a '95 eprom...

I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem here. I just finished installing my Goodridge SS braided brake lines. Everything seemed all good but when I was putting in the brake fluid and pumping the brake pedal, I realized that both of my rear lines were leaking like crazy. They're leaking...

I have a '97 GST and very recently a loud thwaking noise ( I believe is coming from the drivers side) only when I'm accelerating somewhat fast in 1st and 2nd gear. If I let off the clutch slowly in those gears, it doesn't make a noise. 3,4,5,R are all fine. When I heard the noise, I replaced the...

I'm looking to get a new oil pressure gauge since the stock one isn't the most reliable. Everyone advises against the mechanical since leaks can occur in the cabin. How do the digital gauges work? Where do they have to plug into and what else would I need? Are there any particular gauges I...

Today when driving, every time I let off the throttle at around 2-3k rpm, my wideband reads rich, around 11.8-13ish. When it does that, it shuddered and felt like it was misfiring. I pulled over and the car pretty much stalled when I threw it in neutral. Everything under the hood looked okay, I...

I purchased the car in January 2014. January 2014:April 2015:Everything on it was stock aside from:Greddy RS bov Greddy intercooler piping APEXi gt downpipe and exhaust system Intake w/ K&N filter Tokico Illuminia shocks Eibach pro-kit springs Large, ghetto stereo system GSC zero tick...

What Mishimoto intercooler would work best with the piping from the Punishment kit? The punishment IC has the dimensions of 29x11x3 and none of Mishimotos IC's match up directly. Anyone running the same kit and one of Mishimotos intercoolers? Which one is the best fit?

My 2g GST has been overheating recently and I have diagnosed it to be that the fans are not turning on. The fans motors work because if I turn on the a/c, they both turn on and run for about 15 seconds. After that they turn off for a bit and just continue this cycle. The things I've...

So the weather is getting warmer here in Texas, and I'm beginning to wonder if my front mount intercooler that I installed in December is starting to cause my car to overheat. It started about a month ago, I took a road trip from San Antonio to Austin for a day and drove the car around that day...

I'm finishing the timing job on my gst and I'm considering not putting the ac belt back on. If I take the belt off, what will be affected besides not having ac? Will my heater and stuff still work?

Hey guys, still somewhat of a DSM newb. I'm upgrading my T25 turbo in my '97 gst to an evo3 16g. I have these supporting mods:Punishment Racing FMIC Greddy RS BOV - recirculated APEXi GT downpipe APEXi N1 turbo-back exhaust STM air intake w/ MAF Hallman ES boost controller fuelab AFPR w/...

Anyone planning on heading to the CCM XX?
