    420A ITB Information & Interest Thread

    I have conjoined a few ways, and we are soon working on designing/producing an assembly of ITB's for the 420a. The purpose of this thread is partially to gauge interest, as there is a possibility to mass produce these if the demand is there. At a minimum, one or two assemblies will be produced...

    Aluminum reservoir cap on-the-go

    I'm sure many of you have experienced a brittle master cylinder reservoir cap if you have worked with many 1g/2g cars. It's my experience that almost all of these cracked and fallen apart, unless it were always in storage. Out of 4 of these vehicles, 3 of mine have broken. Well, rececntly one...

    Highest Mileage DSM?

    I thought this was an interesting thread idea as we approach the end of 2023. I'm curious to see who has the highest mileage on their DSM - of any model.The highest mileage I've seen in person was a 2g non turbo at the junkyard with 253k miles showing. Surely someone has passed half a million...

    2G FWD Rear Traction Upgrades

    Alright my fellow DSM racers. I'm needing advice from the experienced. I need to find some ways to improve the rear traction of my 2g.

    420A COP, Which Ignition Coils?

    Since Megasquirt has made it easy, I am running a coil over plug ignition setup (damn the wasted spark). I'm wondering which ignition coils I should be using though. I currently have some Audi coils installed but are much too tall and have no way to secure them. I only used them to get the...

    Garage Wall Material

    Just wanted to share a bit of what's happening in my home garage. In the midst of fully rewiring and refinishing the interior, I also decided to switch up the material used to cover the walls. When the place was built they used some sort of cardboard-like paneling that really sucks for a garage...

    2G Hood Pin Recommendations

    Looking for some hood pins for my 2g. The issue I'm concerned about is the mounting plates being too large diameter so I wouldn't have a surface to properly mount them on. What is everyone else using that fits nicely?

    420A Popping Out of Every Gear

    Looking for ideas as to why my NVT-350 is now popping out of every gear (besides reverse, which it will not shift into.)Backstory: I was out tonight to do a test run. From a dead stop, I did a hard launch (started slipping clutch at 4500 rpm, she was hooking so I quickly engaged). Everything...

    1G 4g37 Crankshaft Timing Mark

    I've rebuilt my 4g37 and installed a new timing kit, and now I'm trying to determine if I am using the correct timing mark. I see a small notch behind the washer on the crank sprocket and was using that to time the engine. Reading through old threads, it seems as if no one could provide a...

    Resolved 4g37 Balance Shaft Seals

    I'm wondering if there's a difference between each of the balance shaft seals on a 1g 4g37? I'm shopping for new ones and keep seeing them labeled "right side". But I haven't found any labeled left side... Visually they look the same diameter to me. But they are different colors on my engine...

    Chrysler 2.4 Valve Springs For Use In 420a?

    I'm wondering what the stiffness difference is between the 2.4 valve springs and 420a valve springs, and also if they're similar in diameter & height? I know the best way to figure this out is to remove both and do a comparison, which I'm willing to do. Just thought that possibly someone has...
