Car is gone best of luck to the new owner hope it is appreciated and enjoyed.

My suggestion is to send a PM to Stangmurdera. He owns a yard, is a site supporter and always has any parts I ever needed at a fair price with a good shipping.

Preferably a center console fishing boat. That boat sounds like it's a blast to be in but for me it just wouldn't be practical for diving out of and taking the family out in. Any photos though if you don't mind just because they are definitely cool boats.

Car is back to running well again. It was the MPI fuse that was losing contact when the engine bay heated up.

Looking to sell my car to pursue other interests, please see the attached link to my Craigslist ad if you're interested. Currently having an issue which is after driving the car for about fifteen minutes it cuts out and will not restart until cooled but drives fine otherwise. I am in the...

Have you checked your turbo for any excessive shaft play and what is your A/F ratio at WOT?

Have you checked your ALL your timing marks to make sure they align properly?

It's been a while since I last posted a picture but here's some anodized aluminum sch40 pipe for some tuna towers gas coverage wasn't perfect on this one but it'll do.

Here is a quick log from the first pull I did after I felt the car was prepared to make a run. I rarely get on the car (odd to hear from a turbo car owner I know) as I mainly just tinker with the car rather than drive it but would like any opinions to help get a better tune on it. It's a...

Preheating does a few things like reduce the cooling rate of the metal, reduce shrinking stress and weld distortion, helps the metal fuse, and removes any moisture from the material. Although if you overheat some metals you can risk cracking it as it cools. On top of that even though you...

I feel confident that it's just very contaminated aluminum and should be ground out where the crack is. You don't need to grind everything away to the point of having a gap though. A little trick would be usinging a cutoff wheel and run it down the crack but not all the way through the material...

Did you by any chance drill a hole at each end of the crack? From the sound of it this defiantly requires drilling, as should any crack, then grinding the problem area out and starting fresh. Mainly due to the metal being attempted to be repaired multiple times and who knows the kind of...

Here is the order I would trouble shoot your problem:1) Boost Leak test2) New BPR6ES set at .0283) New plug wires4) Test coil5) Check ECU for leaking capsThat is if your profile is up to date with mods and your not hitting fuel cut.

I'm just getting a red "X" but sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Didn't you already make this post? There was some answers given to you as well as a thread asking many of the same questions with many answers which your first post was merged into. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/143197-max-safe-boost-merged-10-6-a-45.html

That's ok, I was putting the car back together after figuring out a no start condition and wanted to try and give it a go to see if I could get the car to fire up. Well it started and ran. While sitting in the driver seat celebrating my victory I started to see some smoke and shut her down. I...

Have you checked your battery, alternator and electrical connections to be sure your getting enough power and have a good ground?

For getting the keepers back on, if you haven't figured out a way yet, I used a piece of metal pipe and notched out a section of it to allow me to compress the spring and install the keeper at the same time. The above posts have good information regarding putting it all back together the only...

I believe that response was towards the other posters who were still guessing at what the OP's photo was of when you had already solved that mystery. I'm still interested to hear how the OP got the turbo to granade itself to that point.

You could probably get a lot of useful information by just posting up pictures of the engine bay and asking about any specifics you're unsure about in the forums. If your profile is correct and the car has DSMLink then you're able to post a log on here or the Link forums and someone will be...

Did you align the timing mark on the crank or are you just going by the cam gears? When my belt jumped I could get the cam gears to aligned but the timing on the crank would be off.

Your non-recirculated BOV is certainly causing your issues between shifts. The reason you don't see as may issues when the car is just started up, cold, is because it's still in open loop and the ECU is ignoring the O2 sensors feedback. As for your idle issue it can be a number of things, one...

An arc welder will be a good learning tool for some raw basics but not your ideal tool for lighter gauge material but none the less fun to play with (you probably already know this). I'll take you up on that invite and let you know when I can make the time and hopefully we can set something up.

What size is your oil drain line? They may have made their way down being in those little pieces kind of difficult to judge the size but the paper gives a decent reference.Edit: I got beat by a minute on that response.

Man now I want to get fired to get a new job and better life. Boo to my job :notgood: I get 10 vacation days off a year nothing else (aside from very few holidays), not to mention the insurance is crazy expensive, I have a long commute and fuel is getting expensive, and I'm unmotivated to be...

Maybe during one of the services a mechanic used the valve cover as a tray and knocked the misc. part down? That or the 60yr old lady used the oil pan to hide her "precious" in. There's more than one reason why everyone says old people are crazy. Makes me want to drop my pan and see what...

One thing to keep in mind when lowering your engine is making sure your oil pan is still safe and out of harms way. Go check out any of the "stance" forums and you'll see a lot of people raising their motors because they like a really low car but are busting pans up.

This thread is turning into one of those horrible dramas that are on T.V. For some weird reason you have to sit and wait to see what happens in the end for none other than the fact you already committed to it by watching the first few clips. Hate when the women turns those things on but I have...

You're actually not too far from me and as long as you are ok with it I might have to try and make some time to come check that rally car out sounds pretty interesting. I saw you were getting a welder in another one of your posts just wondering what kind you picked up if you got it. I enjoy...

PM Stangmurdera from Miller Import Parts and see if he can get you one. They are a site vendor and I had a very good buying experience using them when sourcing used parts to finish my car.

For reference I used this method and set my timing light at 5* advanced then adjusted the CAS accordingly. If you look at the post referencing the 10* advance comment, you'll see the person who posted that remark also linked back to the how-to in the tech section which again recommends using...

I'm going to agree with the above statement and if nothing else its free to check. At any rate go ahead and check your watercooled oil filter housing to see if its leaking internally. The higher pressure oil might be making its way into the coolant. Any recent oil changes and possibly someone...

That is horrible luck you have there. I remember reading a while back about how you helped your wife open a business and then she had lost ambition to up keep it so maybe there's a chance you could focus your energy there and bring it back before being deployed (hope I'm not confusing you with...

Honestly the ride is much more comfortable than the Jeep which had a 6.5" lift so the VW's H&R coilovers are a welcome change. I'm very impressed with the suspension setup which has little to no bounce at all. Biggest issue is pulling in and out of the driveway where the front lip scrapes...

You sir are in a better area than I am. Even a N/T car would go for a higher price. I'm liking that talon although I guess I'm just more attracted to them.

I'm going to try and be positive here and say wire wheel as much of that rust off as you can to get a good idea on what you're working with. A good majority may just be surface rust and you might just have to deal with a few of the spots where there is clearly a hole.

Seriously good luck. I'm not saying it won't happen but if I were you I'd skip on trying to pick up a DSM for that price. People are trying to sell barley running or even rusted shells here in NJ for 1k or more.

Quick update since I don't like to leave a thread end with a mystery. First and foremost I was not looking for a swapped Honda let alone a modified one simply a car that can get me from point A to B, a Geo Metro would have worked. If I need to get into a fast car I only need to get in the Talon...

All good information and yes anything that has a selling point of being "JDM" flags a lot for me. My thoughts are if he contacts me this weekend to set up a time to look at the car I will keep my word and at least go take a look at it. Obviously nothing is finial until papers are signed...

I understand your point. I'll more than likely continue looking for something stock. It's unfortunate how so many reliable cars were hacked into sadly the same can be said about many of the DSM's out there also.

2500 is where I valued my Jeep at not the asking price of the Honda. He's asking 2200 or trade. Again I'm not really interested in any of the aftermarket parts just mainly want something better on fuel then the Cherokee. Here's what I'm told the car hasBlack works struts Sportline springs...

I always heard they were good for daily driving. I'm not really concerned with the hp of the car just needs to get me from point A to B and maybe some Auto X in between. Funny you mention a Neon my plan was if I sold my Cherokee I would try and pick a Neon up.

I've never owned a Honda and was looking for some advice on what specifically I should be looking into. I'm probably going to be looking at a 94 Civic coupe (Eg?) that has a D15B sohc block with a D16z6 vtec head with about 103k on them, or so the ad says. Honestly I prefer something all stock...

I saw a lot of people saying to get DSMLink V3 full rather than lite but I suggest reading the comparison and seeing if you think you need the extra options. prodcompare [ECMTuning - wiki] I went V3 lite and am also on speed density, now there are some nice features in the full version but for...

I have a Miller 180SD at home and honestly if I were to do it again I would have gone bigger and looked more into a generator powered welder. Mainly due to missing out on side work when the person was unable to bring their piece to me. If money were not an issue I would have one of the Miller...

The high pitched whistle your hearing could be a leak near the compressor housing on your turbo possibly your J pipe.

Good catch. I should have been more specific between the older and newer welders. Now even the newer transformer welders run aluminum quite well with 2%thor. tungsten and yes, for an inverter welder, you have to use the tougher tungsten, you will just blow out green tungsten. On an inverter...
