  1. Boiling my power steering fluid

    i thought stock PS pump does have an oem heat shield. but more is better in heat shielding.I would suggest a proper heat exchanger sized similar or larger to stock 90 turbo engine oil cooler. at what temp does the ps fluid boil? 300+ deg F? seals, gaskets and hoses don't appreciate high...
  2. 1G I want AC! FMIC Ducting and Cooling / Fans

    most aftermarket fans test flow at "0 inches of water" pressure differential. the fans are in a room and flow through the fan gets tested; there is no adverse pressure gradient. manufacturer's specifications should be checked. if the spec is 3000cfm at 10A the fan won't flow that much air in...
  3. 1G Considering bigger turbo and going back to 93ct

    Why not run a GM or aftermarket brand ethanol content sensor and have it adjust the global and timing maps on the fly? Some folks put the GM sensor post fuel pressure regulator due to small pipe diamerer. It has been discussed on forum in the past.Good luck.
  4. 2G Weird problem, car doesn't want to move as if driveline or brakes binding

    There should be a check valve in the intake manifold to brake booster hose. Stock one is gray. You should be able to blow through it toward the intake manifold only.FYI - If the fluid can't flow back into the master cylinder reservoir some of the calipers may drag. The simplest test is to...
  5. Hydraulic Release Bearing

    ZF clutch integrated release system
  6. Motive Powerbleeder custom brake cap

    They used to sell a universal cap. It was a large cap (3" or 4") with a rubber seal on the bottom and a fitting in the middle. They used j-hook bolts and a piece of chain to secure the cap to MC or MC reservoir. You could probably make one fairly easily. A piece of rubber, a piece of thick...
  7. Hydraulic Release Bearing

    A few years ago I saw a press release by a euro clutch maker, Sachs maybe, for a pressure plate mounted hrb. It was for a competition clutch, pull style. The non rotating part of the hrb needed a positive mechanical stop so hoses wouldn't get damaged. The whole point was that no matter how...
  8. Evo 8-10 Brembo Calipers DSM Conversion (for 1g too)

    Isn't there an overbore rebuild kit that fits 3s mc that we have been using for years? Chuck the old mc in a lathe and presto: a bolt on oversize mc. What am I missing?
  9. 2G Locked out of 5th and Reverse. Other gears hard to get in to

    When you "took off the shift cable linkage" was it at the transmission or at the shifter? If at the shifter then you may want to make sure that the transmission cable bracket is bolted to the transmission properly. The "washers" that fit between the transmission and the bracket are bushings...
  10. 2G Roll cage design plus parts help/input

    Is this cage for safety or for looks? Your goals are at odds with the main reason to install a cage. Cages are generally incompatible with passengers, especially back seat passengers. What would happen if you got in an accident? Your rear seat passengers would smack the tubes. Might as well...
  11. 2G 7cm SS gasket Failure

    Using a hand file to make a flange flat is an exercise in futility. It should also be understood that both flange surfaces should be flat and that the bolt holes and threads should preferably be perpendicular to the flanges. Even if both flanges are flat but the bolt holes/threads are at not...
  12. 1G Fully functional 1989 hood vent, desert tested

    As has been mentioned before, the air will take the path of least resistance. The air will flow from high pressure to low. If there are large openings next to your radiator the air will mostly bypass it. You ought to build a shroud next to your radiator and close off any openings and make...

  14. AEM EVO VIII AEM EMS V1 Sequential Ignition setup with AEM Smart coils

    I'm sorry to litter the bandwith. I have no experience with aem. To my knowledge some of the aftermarket systems number the cylinders by order of injection/ignition so:(EFI) Logical firing order Physical cylinder (firing order) 1 1 2...
  15. 650 hp non cooling issues Mitsubishi eclipse hill climb

    A part of the answer is that most hill climbs are very short duration events. Imagine going out to the track and driving two to three laps and that's it. Another part of the answer may be airflow management.
  16. Need help with passing emissions.

    AF ratio numerically higher than 14.7 is lean not rich, if your vehicle is running correctly. Therefore you shouldn't have excess hydrocarbons (fuel) in the exhaust. The o2 sensor just compares the oxigen content inside and outside the exhaust pipe and that is all. If your engine misfires and...
  17. Oil cooler used to lower water temps.

    My understanding is that the OP is just bypassing the thermostat thus pushing a bit more water through the stock radiator. The problem as I see it is that although the water runs cooler the water pressure inside the engine has been lowered possibly leading to localized boiling of coolant inside...
  18. evo 8/9 manifold/turbo on dsm pics?

    Melting point for aluminum is 1220 deg F while we may push up to 1600 deg F on a regular basis. Head exhaust ports are heavily water cooled for a reason. Good luck.
  19. Rear BS delete only and PCV idea

    I would prefer the back or top of the rear BS hump for a vent, as long as there is enough room to work on/remove the starter. The crank sprays oil as it spins, but the oil leaves mostly in a tangential direction clockwise when looking at the front of the engine. The top of the rear BS hump...
  20. Rear BS delete only and PCV idea

    You may be better off using the large square pad next to the inspection bolt as a vent. I would say to put as large a fitting as possible on there - weld or drill/tap or drill/epoxy. The reduced air velocity with a larger hose ought to minimize oil flow. The baffle may be something as simple...
  21. 1G spun rod bearing. options?

    IIRC the oil pump has a small oil feed that goes from the right side of the first crank bearing, looking at the front of the engine, and feeds the front side of both shafts in the oil pump. Contamination may build/catch in there and cause the oil pump to seize later on.On the other hand...
  22. Show me your spark plug wire routing

    Please let me elaborate:Looking at the OP picture the cylinders go like this: 4 3 2 1Cyl 4: Route the wire following the arrow next to the spark plug hole to the back of the valve cover and into the far left coil tower. Cyl 1: Route the wire following the arrow on the valve...
  23. Show me your spark plug wire routing

    Follow the arrows on the valve cover. 4123 on the coil pack. That's what I would do.Good luck.
  24. Just ordered Sparco steering wheel

    Both Sparco and Momo make quality parts. I have had a Momo adapter installed and it worked as intended. The ribbed part is actually a plastic cover. I also installed a quick disconnect and a 2" extension ring to bring the steering wheel further back.Good luck.
  25. Hydraulic Release Bearing

    I'm not certain about longevity but I was looking for simplicity and consistancy. The stock system has too many points of failure. With an HRB it either works or it doesn't, while the stock system has many parts that may fail. My original plan was to drill a couple of holes on the in the bell...
  26. Plans and projects for the 11-12 offseason? (Related to Road Racing/AutoX/Rally)

    Sensor wise I would look at:auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industryTemp and pressure sensors and controllers - I would check all of their sections, not only automotive.http://www.sparkfun.com/Multiple degree of freedom motion sensors - accelerators...
  27. 1Ga Powersteering line rerouting?

    I would suggest that a cooler of some sort is very important. You could check the installs of starion/conquest intercoolers on Visual Frequently Answered Questions - Home Page under the intake section.You could also go to a junk yard and grab a used AT transmission cooler from any...
  28. K1 Technologies Stroker Crankshaft

    Have the head dowel pins been installed?
  29. How to increase oil pressure to the head?

    To measure the pressure in the head an option would be to get a double banjo bolt and install it at the turbo oil feed location on the head. Many motorcycles use double front brake hoses so a double banjo should be easy to find in a bike shop. Just verify that you get the same thread size and...
  30. Trouble with injector scaling for e85.

    I haven't used e85 yet but my math seems to support that you would need to enter close to 75% of the injector's actual size.If you have 750cc injectors and want to add 1/3 more fuel due to e85 you would need to get 1000cc injectors in order to run e85 but enter 750cc.750+(750/3) =...
  31. My electro-hydraulic steering conversion

    I believe that any PS system, especially one used on a track car needs a cooler. A cheap heat exchanger would be an automatic transmission cooler from a van, suv or truck from your local you-pull-it automotive recycling center :) . Good luck.
  32. cant get crank sprocket bolt off of 6 bolt crank

    Get a piece of unistrut ( "C" channel support with holes in it) or a flat piece of steel at your local home improvement store electrical section and a piece of conduit/black iron pipe that would fit over your breaker bar.Bolt the steel to the crank using two flywheel bolts. Rest the steel...
  33. 88 TSI CONQUEST 4G63 swap

    Mercur Xr4ti / Ford Sierra cars used a T5 WC platform.
  34. Greddy Coolant "Breather" Tank

    Another option would be to use a header tank from some of the newer vehicles - VAG products - audi, vw, or Ford Windstar, etc. For example Ford Windstar header tank has a 16psi cap. Some vehicles also have a liquid level sensor just like a stock dsm and that could help detect the coolant loss...

  36. cooler thermostat opinions

    Just a side note, not necessarily pertinient here, but I have previously read that the F3 cars, as well as the new NGTC turbo touring cars run about 75C (just below 170F). The ECUs start retarding timing as water temps increase past 170F. Of course, these vehicles are true race cars that live...
  37. Mushy/No Brakes

    Has the master cylinder been upgraded as well? If the calipers have been upgraded the master should have been upgraded as well. Bleeding may help some, but the if the master is too small the pedal will have long travel and give a mushy feeling even if bled properly.Good luck.
  38. reasons for no boost at j pipe/ LICP

    When the throttle body (TB) gets closed the pressure spikes in front of the TB and the vacuum is created on the back side of the TB. The whole point of BOV is not to have high pressure between the compressor wheel and the throttle body as the only place it can go is backwards through the...
  39. what size bolt do i need to block off oil lines

    You would have to loop the line(s). Once the thermostat opens all the oil should go through the cooler. If you put bolts in the oil cooler ports on the filter bracket your engine will lose oil pressure and seize.

  41. Car is haunted, sounds like 3 cylinders

    With backfiring like that i would assume that the timing is off. Did the cam gear slip on the cam? Did your crank damper separate?
  42. What does the heed need to best mate to a over bored piston?

    If it's a dsm it's not gonna happen. The bore spacing is 88mm.
  43. Need clucth help! ASAP!!!

    I thought that the evo8 had a pull style clutch Vs. eclipse's push style so the pressure plates would be different. I'm not 100% certain though.
  44. Gutting Cat Converter to place TP inside it?

    You do realize that if caught with the test pipe you may be fined up to $10K and jail time, right? IMHO a couple HP just isn't worth the risk. You would be better off getting a larger diameter exhaust and cat as suggested above.
  45. Overheating questions

    After the engine has warmed up you ought to have hot air coming out with the heater lever turned to hot. To me that indicates that the coolant level is too low and heater core has never been filled. After you replaced the head gasket did you run the heater at full blast when you re-filled the...
  46. 1g Wont go into gear with engine running

    Is the flywheel step within the recommended range?
  47. Wont go into 2nd at WOT - What did I break?

    The biggest problem seems to be the driving technique. A good driver has to be sympathetic to equipment and understand how it works and what it can and cannot do. You should at least give the synchros a chance to do their job. Even guys running dog boxes that can take WOT shifts and need a...
  48. Hydraulic Release Bearing

    Cool. Thank you. Would you know the part number or the HRB series by any chance?Thanks again.
  49. Hydraulic Release Bearing

    Is anyone using a hydraulic release bearing?I was on Tilton's web site a while ago and read HRB install manuals and two of them caught my eye - primarily Honda HRB and MR2 HRB install manuals (98-1115 and 98-1116 respectively). The instructions for Honda mention that the HRB should be...
  50. Ignition timing marks on 2G way off?

    The harmonic balancer may have separated. Have you physically verified that the engine is at TDC and that the mark on the pulley lines up with "T" on the timing belt cover? I think you ought to remove the spark plugs, grab a really long screwdriver or a socket extension and see if the engine...
