If you don't have a buddy to help, I'd suggest using some brake clean and blasting the suspect areas. Make sure the fluids are all topped off. Go make a trip around the neighborhood or up/down a local road with low traffic (in case something goes south, like a line finally burst). Then go back...

Google Mitsubishi OEM parts. Tons of parts sites. Been a while, but I'd always used an online site for a dealer in FL. Might have been Tallahassee Mitsubishi? Be smart. Put another new OEM unit on. It'll last another 100K-150K miles.

Is there a business actively selling those for DSM's? I know they were available 20 years ago, but not seen them for years.

I would wager the gearsets in the turbo cars are likely heat treated or have a different heat treat and or material. OEM's frequently due this to various parts to drive cost down rather than have a new unique gear.You still have it? I'd be interested in buying it. I have several GGSX cars and...

Have you thought about buying something like a Harbor freight vibratory tumbler to clean the hardware up and then use some simple electrolysis to recoat them? I keep telling myself I'm going to get a tumbler, but haven't yet. I've seen several YouTube vids of people using the tumblers with some...

I agree with Paulyman. Just drive it. Mods that simply make the car breathe easier, like air filters, larger exhaust, IC tubing can be simple mods that will liven up the car without changing the reliability significantly. Bumping the boost, bigger injectors, bigger turbo etc. is going to eat...

I think the key is people need to plan ahead and be patient. Due to social media today and businesses like Amazon, society has gotten hooked on instant gratification (not saying that's the situation here, just talking in general today) Personally I've used TRE circa 2004ish time frame. I was...

The bench mark for engine specs/tolerances would be the OEM service manuals. There are plenty to be found on ebay.

It's been 10 years since I've needed to screw with a 1g pedal and my cars are in storage right now, not being daily driven. I don't recall, does the 1g have a dead stop, like the 2g which limits how high the pedal can swing up?

Extended master rod. I mostly agree. It's somewhat about taking out compliance. 1G: It's been a while, but I think the larger arc, more travel applies to 1g.The 1g, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't have a stop. There is also alot of flex in the pedal box on a 1g to deal with. 2G: The limiter is...

Keep in mind, Jack didn't discover this or figure it out. He just reiterated what was already known here. He was the first to make a video explaining it.

Go to the dealer, they can look it up per the VIN.

Totally agree.About every third reply post I make on a DSM page on FB, I'm pointing them here. I see it happen frequently from a number of people. I don't purposely frequent the pages, but trip across stuff as it pops up on my wall.

Used to. Put 300k-400k miles on 3 cars daily driving them. Then moved to CSM's when my commute was nearing 2 hours one way. Put about 200K on 3 CSM's. On in particular, I put 65K on in one year. Motor went. Moved to another one. All my DSM's/CSM's are parked now. I pull one out of the weeds...

Sweet! I should have looked first, lol.

Did you ever get your answer from Kiggly on the line pressure question? If not, I'd suggest emailing him off his site.

You should tell your son to join the site and post up his car info/results in the Holset Results thread.

More overall pics in decent lighting might help. Hard to tell based on the single pic you provided.

LOL, completely forgot about this.Place holder 614B users post away.....

I asked for proof, other than my friends friend said. And I wouldn't take Wikipedia's info as gospel. Other locations/sites, state about union contract/production starting in 89. Which would be typical. Making them 90 MY vehicles.Realize every vehicle manufacture builds some cars prior to...

I think his point could be better said, in that, the 4G63 is the equivalent of the smallblock 350 in the 4 cyl world. More accomplished? I'd say yes. More platforms. Longer duration. More widely known and used.

Mark my words. Stock cars will become rare. Everyone is looking for a stock car, to then go out and mod the shit out of. Look at what rolls into the Shootout. Everyone's minty, modded to hell and back, car. I never understood those that would buy a stock car to then molest, than buy a car...

Facebook is no different. I search within 100 miles of Flint or Detroit, 30 tops total.Frankly, Facebook sucks for ads. The worst. Search feature sucks. Looking through 100's of ads is difficult. Though they slowly continue to add more features to make it more friendly. It's still shit. try...

DSM's started in 1990. Period.And, there is no way production started in 1988. 1990 would have started production in late 1989, being sold as 1990 Model vehicle. Like EVERY automaker on the planet.

I disagree. 10-15 years ago, I could search on craigslist within 100 miles of Detroit and find 100 DSM's for sale. Now, I'm lucky to find 1. If it is, it's a 2g car. I see person after person, gutting a 1g car to build their 2g car. Won't be long, there won't be many whole 1g cars, let alone 2g...

There were no 1988/89 Model Year DSM's. Where you getting this from?

I wouldn't recommend it. That trans has typical ball/roller bearings like those in the NT FWD cars which aren't made to take a lot of torque. The AWD trans, in a T/E/L, has tapered roller bearings which are made to take torque loads.You would need a GGSX rear end to go with the trans. It's...

I would expect similar results could be accomplished with the addition of a line lock setup both parallel and inline to the Magnus system with the line locks wired to say a brake switch(s) or wired to an ECU.

Interesting. Poor mans proportioning valve, only done by mechanical means. Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the screen door cylinder work on air, thus adding slop, or lack of resistance in the first initial travel is due to compression of the air? Trying to grasp why the release is SO much...

If you do, keep me in mind. I have 3 ggsx's. Always looking to collect some spare parts.

Did you swap the diff/trans? Might be interested in buying them.

Interest? Hard to say. You'd have to make a few and see if they sell. I don't see many Mitsu to Holset type adapters online. A range of T3, T25, T4 types.What type of flange is the VE? T3 or T4 or is it some type of hybrid?

So, what's the update on this. Some cool stuff. Wish I could just find the time. I've just been knee deep in life and floundering around, I haven't had the time like I should for my dsm's. You buy or build the adapter flange?

That's impressive!The 1g I first posted about, got parked at 319K. I've debated about digging it out of the weeds and reviving it. Still runs. My brother took it over, then parked it as he got a different car.
