I am looking at purchasing a used, good condition Genuine MHI Big 16G (Non Evo 3). However, I'm not sure I need it as I already own, but have not yet installed, a genuine MHI Evo 3 Big 16G and also an MHI small 16G. When I do make the upgrade from the 14B I'm currently running, it will be along...

I pulled the head on my Spyder to upgrade cams, springs, valve seals, lifters, etc.It looks like the valves and valve seats are in good shape so I’m going to just clean them both up and reuse the valves. Originally I was thinking about putting in NEW valves while doing all this work but am...

Upon removing my valve seals for replacement it appears I nicked the edge of a cam cap. It is really hard to get a good picture of what I am referring to, but I tried. The nick isn’t on the contact surface of the cam cap, but rather the “edge” that forms a 90-degree angle between the surface the...

I just pulled the head on the 1996 7-Bolt that I took out of my Spyder GST. Upon doing so, I found the exhaust valves had an uneven white crusty substance on their faces as well as a white substance on the valve stems, viewable through the exhaust ports when the exhaust manifold is taken off...

Would it be a problem to rotate my mostly assembled long block upside down on my engine stand and leave it like that for roughly 24 hours while I reseal the oil pan?The oil is drained out and I would drain the rest of the coolant remaining in the block prior to doing so. I am, however...

Hello,As the title states, I’m trying to determine if 2G ABS Hydraulic modulators are interchangeable. I have a 96 Spyder GST with a Bosch ABS ECU and coinciding Bosch ABS Hydraulic Modulator (the box that sits behind the driver side headlight).I’ve determined the motor in the modulator is...

I am about to install my Innovate LC2 into my 2G Spyder GST. I am going to continue to run the factory narrowband O2 sensor in the factory position, so I will not be simulating narrowband in ECMLink.The 3" turbo-back exhaust system I have installed has an extra bung welded about 24" after the...

As the title states, I just swapped out a T25 for a 14B on my 96 Spyder GST and I’m getting smoke (white, I think) coming from the turbo area.My coolant lines coincide with the attached picture from a 2G FSM.It seems to me that maybe coolant is not cycling through the turbo and just...

I am currently in the process of swapping an Evo 3 intake manifold into my Spyder GST and figured I would share the solution I found for plugging the unused factory anti-lag port on the manifold.I found Mitsubishi part# MB001261 to be the solution. I believe it is a transfer case drain plug...

I’m sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but I couldn’t find a definitive answer in my research in regard to a safe place to place jack stands under the rear of my Spyder GST.I’m on my 6th DSM, but all have been AWD up to this point. I’m looking to jack up the rear of my Spyder GST to...

I wanted to get opinions on whether it was possible to swap out intake manifolds with the engine still in the bay.I am looking to swap out the 2G intake manifold on the 2G head in my Spyder GST for an EVO 3 intake manifold. However, I’m not looking to pull the motor on this car just yet and...

As the title states, I am looking for opinions on what the "best" 4G63 Block/head combo is amongst the various combinations possible by mixing 1G, 2G, 6-Bolt, and 7-Bolt heads and blocks.I have the parts to pretty much put together any block/head combo possible amongst the various...

Hey Guys,As the title states, I am having trouble identifying what generation this head is. It goes against everything (I thought) I knew about identifying DSM heads. I bought it out of a guy's shed with a whole slew of other random DSM parts from all generations with no real background info...

Does anyone recognize these valves?I'm in the process of upgrading valve springs on an unknown 1G head that was in a car I bought for parts.These don't appear to be stock valves, and are in decent condition. I'm trying to figure out where this motor is at.The intake valves all have I-2400...

As the title states, I wanted to get some opinions on which valve springs to purchase. I’m deciding between these two:GSC Power Division Beehive Standard Spring set with Titanium Retainers Or A set of Kiggly “Steel Street” Beehive springs with steel retainersI’m also deciding between a used...

This is the Build Thread for 1992 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. Reply below.

Hello,I recently purchased a heavily modified 1G with ECMLink V3 running Speed Density. However, it is running very rich and will barely start or stay running due to the plugs fouling almost instantly. I've pretty much narrowed the issue down to Speed Density not being setup correctly by the...

Hi Guys,I need some advice/opinions on doing an entire cooling system flush prior to installing a new water pump. I bought a 6-bolt swapped 1995 Talon TSI AWD about a year and a half ago. The car came with zero maintenance records and is pretty much a total mutt of DSM parts from both...
