    Body panels

    Thank you all, i never noticed a difference between 2ga and 2gb headlights. However I feel like I must have mispoken. My car is a Talon. The rear end will stay the same. How it was wired already. I had the clear tail lights so their was no real need to convert the rear tail light wiring. The...

    420A Remanufactured motor number

    So I really had no idea where to post this. So I a just putting it here and hoping for the best. When purchasing my Talon. The dealership stated that the motor was rebuilt by the previous owner. Me being young and stupid, failed to ask for proof. I finally got around to calling them and they...

    Tuning

    So I simply thinking of what the previous owner, most likely did not do when he added a turbo to the motor. I already am assuming he upgraded the internals ect.. when he rebuilt the motor. However, some thing he did, were not right which leads me to believe that he did not get the car actually...

    External wastegate gasket

    So I have a crappy ebay god speed external wastegate. I however am having a issue finding a good gasket. My original one got a hole and was leaking. I replaced it with a small metal one. However that melted and had the same issue. I also tried the cut your own gasket. That worked for about a day...

    any ideas on fixing

    I looked at the one page and it said it might be a egr valve solenoid. I am not certain if that is it or not. If not =, anybody know? Now to the actual problem. How do I fix the vacuum line piece. I am not certain if I can jest get a really small vacuum line and connect it. I was a idiot and...

    How would you recommend modding the spring?

    Driver side door handle not working

    Looking at the Handle, I determined it was the handle itself. As NHerron said. It was bent upwards. I will get a new Handle tomorrow or Saturday. Do to the Auto store being closed because of it being christmas. I however managed to lose the little piece that holds the lock in. Kind of a down...

    Driver side door handle not working

    I started to take the linkage off but stopped since I am worried of breaking the piece the connect to the handle. I tested it and seems to be tight. I will try to make sense of what I am about to say next, it may be confusing and I will try to describe the best is can. The one part of the...

    Driver side door handle not working

    The Handle is not working. I fixed the lock part and might have messed something up for the handle, but not certain what.

    Driver side door handle not working

    I cleaned the linkage since the lock was not working. I then lubricated it with white lithium grease. I finally took it out. However when I went to the gas station. I tried opening it and it did not work. I tried unlocking it and it still did not open. I had to open it from the inside by...

    Dash lights

    So I know this is a dumb idea. However I wanted to run it past everybody. I want to change my dash light bulbs for the instruments. I was looking at red or green leds. I was not sure if they will fit. Since they say they are for the turn signals and other signals. Any idea if these will work for...

    oil pressure to low

    Ok, the shady people did not rebuild the motor. The previous actual owner. One of my friends actually knows the guy and knows when he built the car. I did try to find out more about what was done about the rebuild. However he moved do too personal trouble with the law. I don't know where.I...

    oil pressure to low

    I will read that thread later. I put the breather on since I heard to try it since their was a rattle. Didn't work, I assume it involves the clutch and will probably post another thread about it. The motor was rebuilt by the previous owner. I purchased the car from a small car lot(shady people I...

    oil pressure to low

    Motor was rebuilt 10k miles ago. I run 10-30 by Castrol. Oil needs to be changed and filter. It has a Hasting filter. Also I am not certain of what the place is for the oil feed for the turbo but the device that measures the oil pressure is connected to it. Its the brass fitting in the center...

    Resolved 2gNT driver side door lock

    Took it off last night. The assembly was gunned up. I sprayed carb and choke cleaner and wd-40 first. Then lubed it up with lithium grease. Works perfect now.

    oil pressure to low

    My oil pressure, when heated up is around 6-10 psi (usually lower then 10). What do other people have, I read a few forums but posting in here since I believe the turbo might change it. I do have a slight kink in the turbo's oil return line. Not sure if that is what is causing it to be lower...

    Resolved 2gNT driver side door lock

    Well I do want to try the graphite first.However, worst case scenario and this might be a dumb question. Is the passenger side door lock interchangeable with the driver side? If the graphite fails. I would like to just switch them until I get a new lock assembly. As a last resort. The door is...

    Resolved 2gNT driver side door lock

    My driver side door locks and unlocks when I use the key. However it may take a few times of me putting the key in and pulling out(hitting when its in too). It seems stuck where it doesn't want to move. Any ideas? The passenger door works fine and I didn't pull the door panel off to look at it yet.

    aftermarket speakers

    Thank you, I have all the stuff for a sub and don't really want to bother putting one in since I have one in my daily driver. I will look into getting either of them. Its not a high priority but I removed the rear interior since its parked for the year and figured I might change them.
  22. Kyle McL

    aftermarket speakers

    Any good rear speakers. I put kickers in the doors but hat to re-drill new holes since they did not match. Any idea on what speakers i should get? I would prefer ones that I can just put in. Without drilling new holes.

    clutch

    I don't think it could be a bearing since it is worst when the car is first started and only notice the rattle when I am sitting still

    clutch

    Not certain if it is but I figured I try this first.

    clutch

    Thank you, I guessed that but just wanted to make certain before I did anything

    clutch

    This may be real dumb and hope I am posting this in the right area. In the photo I am assuming this involves the clutch. The small tank in the photo. What is it? How much fluid should be in it when the car is off? What kind of fluid should I put in it? I originally am looking into the clutch...

    Shift cable replace

    So it has gotten really hard to shift my car into 2 and 4 gear when driving. I already diagnosed that I need new shifter cable. I was wondering if their was a good place to get a NEW shifter cable? I already looked on RockAuto and NAPA. They did not have it. If not, I will look to get one second...

    Passenger side mirror

    Last week a coworker slammed my passenger door to hard. It caused the mirror to pop off. I thought I popped it back on correct. On my way of driving home, I noticed that I did not pop it back on correct and it had fallen somewhere. I was going to go to the junkyard and pick up another. Should I...

    Wastegate

    I assume the regulator is the boost controller. This wastegate I believe just has a spring, so I assume it doesn't need a boost controller.

    Wastegate

    So the previous owner turbocharged a 420A motor. However, I assume it has a godspeed external wastegate(I know eBay junk). However, looking at diagrams. I see some kind of regulator connected back to the wastegate. After fixing the vacuum/boost lines. It runs a lot better. However, in anything...

    Low Idle

    The motor was rebuilt by the previous owner. I believed he upgraded the injectors but not certain. I will have to check that. I still want to get a new downpipe with a input for the O2 sensor.
  32. Kyle McL

    Low Idle

    I forgot to mention. The previous owner put a turbo on. The new down pipe does not have a O2 sensor hooked up to it. So I really don't think that would make a major difference. It does run a little rich but I don't mind it so much.
  33. Kyle McL

    Low Idle

    So I was originally had idle surges. I fixed it by cleaning the carbon from the throttle body. However, it stalls out when I first start it. The only way to prevent it from stalling out is by giving it some gas for a little bit. It normally starts up fine after driving it for a little bit. Any...

    Organizing engine bay

    So I went to a car show today and I have a idea that I seen other cars do. I am not certain if it really is possible on my turbo 420A. I seen other engine bays, cleaned up. Basically all organized and looked almost empty. i know their is a lot of relocating but I want to try to do this. Any...

    Body kit repair

    I have received a decent amount of compliments on people saying they actually like the bumper. I am on the fence. So one of my friends knows how to work with fiberglass a lot better then me. I am going to try to repair it, worst case scenario. I will just switch it to a stock eclipse bumper. In...

    Body kit repair

    So in the progress of repairing the car. I never had a lowered car or a car that has a front bumper that will scrape. The previous owner put a body kit on it. I wanted to repair if it I can. Worst case scenario I would be putting a eclipse bumper, if this fails. So my questions is, is their a...

    420A Vacuum lines

    I looked on the compressor housing of the turbo and intercooler pipes and their is not one. Is their another place I can run it. Like the boost line on the BOV? I have the boost gauge connected to that right now but could put a T on it and run it to both. If that would work. I looked a little...

    Turbo 420A auto zone

    It a T3 turbo if that helps. When I was saying for shopping for autozone. I was talking about other generic stuff that should be factored in for replacements since it turbo charged, like O2 sensors for example. If I needed a different type of O2 sensor since its charged. Their are other things...

    420A Running Hot

    I do believe it is the original radiator(not sure if the previous owner replaced it when the motor was rebuilt). I however will look into getting a new one if flushing it does not work. I also really would not say its overheating. The temperature gauge shows that the car is running at a decent...

    Non-stop wiper blades

    I never heard of this really happening. My wiper blades don't reset. They can turn on and have basically 2 speeds. The speeds is slow or fast. It wont stop in the same spot though each time. I hear it could be a fuse and some say the motor needs replace. Any ideas?
  43. Kyle McL

    420A Vacuum lines

    Should their be a mounting point already set up on either of them where I can connect it or should I have to make a self tap? If I need to do it myself, any advice on how to do it?

    420A Vacuum lines

    Ok, let start of that I have searched the forum and found stuff for these questions, somewhat? I have a Turbo 420A. The previous owner installed the turbo. I had a good friend look at the engine right after I got it noticing it acts slightly funny. Among a few other things irrelevant to this...

    420A Running Hot

    Motor was rebuilt about 10K miles ago from the previous owner. I would not say it was exactly "mud" but it had the consistency of mud. Since the radiator cap being changed. It runs slightly better but the coolant still boils (not near as much). Its no longer leaking anything around the housing...
