Anyone have any tips for looking at a used engine without being able to hear it run? I mean the guy is pretty popular on this site and seems to have a lot of positive feedback but what would be some things to look out for?
First off I'll apologize for probably posting this in the wrong spot, whenever I look at the newbie forums I can never find the post new thread button.
Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to hear from people more knowledgeable than myself on the differences between the 95-97 engines and the...
I'll have to check, pretty sure they are 17s not sure on offset or tire size I'll have to get the out of my shedAs for the condition of them, I believe they are in fair shape. It's been over a year since I've looked at them. They've been in my shed and I dont go in there often
No more donor shell but I stripped it pretty good, whatcha need?I do have some tan interior pieces, not sure how you saw that from my pics lol the donor shell pics have no interior in it, what I think you're seeing is the sheet metal door panel deletes that it had
Well my car is still getting the finishing touches of my AWD swap but should be rolling in a few weeks (I really only get one day a week to work on it right now because of work) but well have to cruise one day or something. Also I have a lot of extra fwd parts and turbos from my donor car if...
So the outer axle was the same? my rear axles are sized into the hubs on my 2g gsx. Could I just buy a set of 1g axles and swap the outer hub spline and get new hub assemblys?
I have an OEM talon front bumper badge from a 2g, if u can find out what size you need, you can have it, I just like collecting badges I have like 80 of them hahaha
The dual shrouded fans work great for me and have a nice look to them I highly suggest finding a write up or thread on here for them, I wish I knew which one I used, because electrical stuff is definitely one of my weak points so I'm certain i got the info on here somewhere on how to wire them...
Are they the dual slim fans? If so I have the same kit, they are "plug and play" as in they have compatible connector ends but if I remember correctly, the fans pull 25a each, the stock fan relay and fuse wasnt enough I wired mine to separate 30a relays and a bigger inline fuse as well. You...
5/20 awd swap is almost done, replaced all bushings in the suspension with poly, awd gastank mounted with wally 450 wired in for e85 next year, stm solid driveshaft carrier bushings, motor is out with fresh timing belt job with gates belts and OEM pulleys/tensioner and water pump, new poly...
I like what you did there, I'm going to do something similar with mine, I didnt use a 90° fitting for mine yet because i planned on installing the stm tank to rail kit when i eventually go e85, for now the car is only slightly tuned at 20psi and sisnt need the 450 but threw it in anyways because...
Was the AN fuel line necessary? Unless you run e85 I think you're good with stock lines right? I just rewired, bored siphon tube, replaced the in-tank wires and trimmed the rubber grommet to get the pump to fit. Planning on running pump gas this season untill I pull the motor next year for head...
Not sure I follow.... like spyderdrifter said, the 450 should be a drop in deal. Shouldn't need to run any an line unless you are going to run e85 in which case you should have a tank to rail kit to eliminate the stock fuel line altogether and allow for enough flow, I've also seen people boring...
That poor neglected car
Well, you sir are a better man than most of us who wouldn't have taken this project on, you have a lot of work ahead of you. These cars are always a labor of love so I hope you take advantage of this site and the people here. We are one of the best and most helpful car...
HELP! I'm 99% done with my awd swap and my gsx axles that I pulled from my donor car are seized into the hubs. I put them on a hydraulic press and it snapped my knuckle. Axle is still seized lol. But anyways, the car is stuck on Jack stands untill I can get my hands on a pair. Please help I just...
I like the idea of having these solid bushings, but I'm wondering if having the solid subframe and diff bushings is too much for just a (my) streetcar?
Thanks guys, that's what I ended up doing. I just was pretty sure that I was doing something wrong lol all my injectors are pointing towards the passenger side except the one closest to the timing belt, it works and runs good with no leaks just looks funny
I'm trying to install FIC 1200 hi z injectors that are supposedly a bolt on easy affair..... my problem is the connector where you plug in the injectors are lower on the FICs and causing them to hit the head and not fit correctly.. having a hard time describing my issue I'll try and take some...
Got all the parts I need for the awd conversion that I'll be starting around November. Well everything except a 96-96 transfer case. This talon was a 60k original mile mint vehicle that some teen got ahold of and threw a rod through the block by simply putting a giant turbo on it and no other...
Talon skirts baby. Drove this thing for a year with no skirts at all lol. I have a full set of 97-99 eclipse skirts with the door valances if anyone is interested.
It is, I'm embarrassed about this post, I removed that o2 sensor almost 2 yrs ago when I first got the car and ecmlink is simulating the narrowband for me now. Thank you though
Hey I was just replacing the t stat on my 2g and found an unconnected pigtail. Anyone have a clue what this it supposed to go to? Theres nothing obvious nearby so I could really use the help before I put my rad hoses back on
Let's say there is surface rust on some of the internals, would you try to clean it up or just take it to a shop? I'm trying to save some money on my awd conversion I bought this car as a donor, previous owner had it disassembled and the shell sandblasted so it's completely stripped down
Its gonna sound lazy but, the fans wont turn on, as soon as I activate them via ecmlink by checking the "activate fans full on" box it blows the fuse, I've been working on this car all winter and now have everything all buttoned up and running, and I don't feel like chasing around a short in the...
Hey I was hoping to get some info from someone more knowledgeable than myself on this topic. I know of a awd 2g 5 speed transmission that is for sale with only 60k miles on it, apparantly the cars motor was blown in 2004 and it's just been sitting awaiting a new motor and the owner never got to...
Hey guys I want to wire up my stock radio fans to a switch so that I can turn them on at any point and just bypass my cars wiring for it. My plan was to take 12v power from an unused fuse slot that comes on with the ignition, use a 30a fuse, and wire that to a switch, and then send the power...
Hey just a quick question, did you put this fan shroud on your 95 gst? Trying to figure out why my connectors wont fit the mishimoto fans connectors... the ones on the new fan shroud are slightly bigger. Then I thought, what if the connectors changed in 97..?.
Will this cause a cel? And by replacing it with a map sensor do you mean wiring the sensor that comes with an aem boost guage into the mdp pin on the ecu? And just leaving the stock mdp sensor unplugged? Sorry I'm very green when it comes to modifying electrical components. The only reason I...
Hey all I've searched and searched but can't get a clear cut answer for this. I'm running the stock 2g maf, and have my lc2wideband integrated into pin 76 front o2 and simulated narrow and using v3. Now that that's all good and I'm able to log my afr I'm installing an aem boost guage. It's my...
