not needed.take spark plugs out. feed rope into the cylinder. turn crank with ratchet. When you cant turn anymore that means the rope is pushing against valves. remove springs with valve spring removal tool from ebay/amazon. Amazon.com: Lisle 36200 Valve Keeper Remover and Installer: Automotive

180K on my 95GSX

SAFC gets out of its controllable range after 660's. Any bigger and youre just loading the car up with advanced timing.

A boost gauge is VERY important. Full spool at 3K is fine for that turbo.

Knock.It can be done with the turbo at 14psi but not much more than that. You might get away with 18-19psi with the supra side mount but front mounts are SOOOOO cheap, especially on eBay.

Alt is bad, Saturn upgrade time!One of my All Time Favorite Defiant Posts!

i knew this was going to be the out come as i was reading.My buddy put an FP green on his AWD Spyder and it would only boost 7-9psi even with the wastegate unplugged.collapsed flex section.

[(S / N) - 1] * 100 = CWhere,N = New Injector Size S = Stock Injector Size C = SAFC Correction FactorSo, in your case the calculation would be:[(450 / 650) - 1] * 100 = -30.769%Set your low side to -28% across the board.

It really doesnt work like that. Your T-25 with a boost controller can hit 20psi but would be way out of its efficiency range.Lets face some facts right now. Sooner or later you will want more power so lets make this really simple up front and plan for the future at the same time.Get a...

The ShopKenny can tune DSMLink cars really well. Just make sure the car is 100% before bringing the car over. There is a red 95 GSX there now that was supposed to be dyno ready, but had a cracked sheet metal intake manifold, boost leaks out the ass, and the lower radiator hose is about to...

Here is my Durango Copper Pearl. I've owned it for 8 years (since I was 19). Its sitting outside in my driveway right now, starts every time. However I bought an 2005 Evo VIII 6 months ago which replaced it as my daily driver.

some nice parts listed.

Gold!!!!!

mine did the same thing cause the ground from the intake mani to the fire wall wasnt tight enough.

sorry to hear, start looking for and AWD

We're all over on CCDSM.

let me put this plain and simple before DEFIANT gets in here....YOU WILL HAVE RUN_INS WITH ANY TURBO INSTALL YOU DO!It could be water lines oil fittings, hell, even bolt sizing.Just go with the punches

^^^^ yup, you can do that too!you just have to fight the water lines going to the heater core when taking the starter out, but putting it back in you learn how to maneuver it.

i just took mine out of the GSX last night.No need to remove the crossmember at all.and this was with the x-fer case and "gussets" installed too!

you got my vote

regular thrust bearing vs split thrust bearing.CAS location (inverted signal)trans/x-fer case ratioChance of getting an EPROM ECU

your only mistake was telling him you had a drink.if he asked and you said no, he couldnt go any further down that road.

Take off the valve cover remove the black cam cap for the intake cam on the left side (facing the motor) install 97-99 CAS and plug it in.

you're looking in the right direction. Its probly not the actual fix, but loosen those locking nuts on the cruise control box (black box) just a turn or two.thats what i did.

Just get a full upper intercooler pipe from Dejon Powerhouse, a hard intake pipe with open K&N filter, the 5-spd 450cc injectors and a 14b turbo and you'll hit about 250 with NO PROBLEMS.Oh and a manual boost controller set to 15psi.

that yellow one looks great but the color is so bright i really does hurt my eyes looking at it.

its coming along slowly but surely. good luck, i have nothing but a positive outlook on the outcome.

take the one with the bad piston, NOT the spun bearing.

interesting

hmmmm. hard to say. could be your driveshaft, check the carrier bearings. make sure there is proper fluid in xfer and rear. 95/96 and 97-99 xfer cases are different from each other, you can go to JacksTransmissions to find out how to test it.If you do make it FWD make sure you tell the...

carefully bend it out of the way?

Great thread

odometer fraud is a crime(OP EDIT.. this is for my enjoyment only, i will not turn this car in with "x" amount of miles i will set back the true mileage. anyways i will probably be berried in this car when i die, my and my dsm's coffin will be made of evo's)not that im gonna turn you in or...

yeah its called carbide bit

sunroof shadeslides backwards between the headliner and the roof.

did your parents give you the same first and middle name as your last so they could find your easier?

FU(K!!!!!!^^^^^^^^ What he said

Mike....Ive been noticing that when I see a thread that I want to reply to, you have already answered for me.I also see that you are in NJ.I am in Norwalk CT.Maybe we should meet up and finish each other sentences.

i always use dielectric grease

This thread does not deliver. I wouldnt read this again

AWWW man! You didnt get NLTS???My trans is the original one put in the car by the factory minus the ACT 2600 and I NLTS the crap out of it.I understand now why people always comment saying NLTS is better for the trans.

is it the splash liner in the wheel well rubbing against something when you are moving?how about a rock in the tire?

Ive had mine for 6 years now.

Congratulations Mark!

I believe the story goes something like there is no ground for the radio harness so you need to make your own...Ill wait for someone else to chime in on this tho.

did your car come with the Infinity Sound System from the factory? did you remove the stock amp from under the passenger seat and re-wire all your speakers directly to the new head unit?

read this over on the link forums

ill have to check this out when i get home.

looks great Dave!

how did the lenses come out in the end?Did they haze up at all from sanding them down?
