Mock assembly of what I've brainstormed to be the new front drivetrain/suspension. Consists of 2g 23 Spline M/T, 1g/2ga Intermediate/Half/Jack Shaft, 1g CV Axles, 2g Front Hub Assy.The 1g axles seem to mesh just fine with the 2g hub assy with no obvious fitment/clearance issues.

I grew up with awd dsms (2g GSX & 2G AWD TSi), so it's really been the inspiration behind the conversion. This colt probably weighs about 1 thousand-nothing. Jk, closer to 2k lbs. It'll be a long road as I expect it to be sitting on a chassis jig for a considerable amount of time as I figure...
I thought I would post a technical finding of my G4CS swap as it relates to the ELHS. Anyhow I attached photos of the stock a/c bracket that came with this G4CS motor (from an '89 Sonata). It's obviously different from both the 1g and 2g dsm versions, but it looks like it'll accept the 1g/2ga...
Yes. Will 1g front axles (MB526437) mesh with 2g front hub assemblies (MR455004) without any fitment/clearance issues with accompanying 2g hub hardware (i.e. knuckel, rotor, caliper)?Yes, I planned on using the 2g front knuckles. The idea is to maintain the 1g track width (narrower) for this...
A bit of backstory... I am doing a frankenstein awd build on an old '74 Colt. All suspension/chassis datums and hard mount locations have been tossed by the wayside. Due to parts scarcity, I'm trying to figure out interoperability of parts. In this particular case, I am trying to figure out...
Hmmm... I was hoping that rear 1g axles would be compatible with 2g rear diffs the same way front 1g axles are compatible with 2g tranys, without having to mix driveshaft sections. Hoping a Wiseman can share some knowledge.
First of all, I am doing a total one-off build on a '74 Colt/Galant. So, the entire drivetrain will need to be custom built for an AWD 4G63 setup. Ideally, I'd like a B1H with 4-bolt rear axles (for obvious strength reasons), to maintain the ~6inch narrower track width of the 1g (the...
I was just in your shoes very recently. Its a bit late, but you coulda done the Ole harbor freight trick... Buy a HF welder. Weld on a nut to the broken stud. Use wrench to run it out. Then return the welder. Sounds and looks sketchy when you watch the youtubers do it, but it actually...
Lookin good man. What kind of boost are you planning on running. I see you have a 90 silicone elbow right off the compressor housing? I remember mine blowing up like a balloon (it sounded like a firecracker went off). The remedy was to weld on a rigid elbow. I think it was the combination...
Or is the entire flange with set screw holes a separate tool fixture that you mock up the runners with? Then it's transferred to a final production flange? Sorry, I'm just really interested in how things are made.
Understood. I don't see the set screw holes in the finished product. How do you fill in the set screw holes when you're done with them? Is there a void where the set screws once were, or are they solid weld infilled, or did you run down the set screws then weld over them?
That is a piece of art. Are there welds on the mating side of the flange? Also, how were the threaded insert holes that hold the first runner sections filled? Were the inserts left in then welded over? Or were they removed and holes welded/blended all the way through?
Thanks for the insight. It all depends on what kind of fitment clearances I get from this frankenstein powertrain. My goal is to convert the RWD Colt to AWD. I think I might be forced into a widebody setup to compensate for the Colt's 6" narrower track. I'll know better once I track down a...
Stock G4CS motor out of '91 Sonata.Original G4CS head removed.Alright, this needs some context before asking questions. I am using a '91 G4CS block with a '94 4G63 head (originally from OEM 7bolt NA engine). With that said, I am now looking at the head and block passageways for comparison...
I know it's been a while but here's an update...Just found a 6bolt G4CS ('91 Hyundai Sonata) motor. This is my first time seeing one in person. I'm posting pics in case anyone is interested in what they look like if you're in a yard and the block stamp is under caked grease layers. I was...
Thank you, that helps a bunch! yea, I remember the xmsn housing going slightly under the passenger frame rail. I guess i'm just gonna have to just start hacking away. I don't suppose there is anyone in San Diego with a dormant/scrap 1g awd eng & xmsn assembly that I can borrow for mocking up...
Hey, I would greatly appreciate the help. I spent several hours looking for this content, but it doesn't seem to exist, unless of course you had the components to measure yourself. Plenty of folks have asked, but no answers.
Can anyone please help me with a couple of measurements? I do not have an engine/transmission assembly to measure. I would like overall measurements of a 1g awd engine & transmission assembly that is still bolted together. I have attached a photo of the measurements I am looking for. Before...
Remember, just cuz you get an error directing you to a particular component, does not mean that is in fact the failure point. It may be a symptom of the real problem.Also, oops, I did forget about the o2 sensor open/closed loop function. And since you're getting an error related to your...
Okay, the way you're describing the gas pedal action and the idle behavior following you releasing the pedal, tells me it has something to do with your IAC aka ISC. Plenty of tutorials on replacing the ISC. Good luck:D
Of course it could affect something. This is part of the troubleshooting process. Keep calm and troubleshoot on. Have you checked your plugs? Are they dry/wet?
Does it die only when you leave it in idle? When you start up, can you keep engine on if you apply gas pedal? If you're positive no boost and/or vacuum leaks are present, have you moved on to check your Idle Air Control (IAC) valve? I may be triggered to open on start-up, then might stick in...
Well it would have to be e87 because of it being California and all:banghead: Otherwise, I am considering a destroked 4g64/g4cs setup. So kind of a 2.4?!? The goal is to have it be a weekender with ~500 whp (preferably w/o the bottle). I have all the time in the world to theory-craft this...
Howsit everyone! After an almost 10 year sabbatical from the DSM game, I am officially back. It took some convincing of the "other half" to allow me back.Well... kinda! Does a '74 Dodge Colt with a 4g63t swap count? My previous cars were a 2g GSX 2.3 Stroker (walked and sold), and a bone...
