By searching on here, I'm told no such thing exists. Yet these aren't charcoal, and they are eclipse not talon seats. If they were recovered which would explain the 'eclipse' embroidered on them then that still doesn't explain the matching black plastic bits around the bottom. What do I have...

When my first hx40 went I was told it was out of balance. I got it from a previous owner so not knowing the history I couldn't really say whose fault that might have been. Bought a brand new one straight from holset and put it on. POS is out of balance too and fragged. I will never recommend...

Was out driving it hard tuning it and it died while driving. Restarted it and it ran for another minute and died again. Restarted it a few more times and it drove for a few seconds and died. Left it along the road and walked home to get something to tow it. Came back and decided to start it...

Right on the driver fender by the schrader valve where it goes from metal to rubber the rubber swelled up and popped! So the line was hot before this and the compressor had to be working to do this. Does the a/c cycle from this side to the front and then back around on the driver side or the...

Alright I feel retarded but looking at google images I noticed something. My head isn't the original. I figured my head was an early 1g because the 2 end studs on the exhaust manifold are the same size as the rest. Ok no problem. Then I found this picMy head has the flat part between...

In the truest spirit of bolt on tech. Motor mounts still have thier bolts and the Tcase doesn't have a nut on the end. So what might this have fallen out of.

I wanted to compile a list of known working manifolds for the hx35 hx40 and similiar turbos since a lot end up hitting the water pipe and such.List your exhaust manifold, what turbo housing your using with it and if you're using any spacers and what kind of clearance you have. I'll go first...

hmmm

My hx40 is out of balance and went to hell because of it (I'll just ignore the fact two people on the boards owned it prior)I found a local guy here who rebuilds them and has been doing it for 30+ years. You'd be jealous of all the turbo cores he has piled around.Anyway feel free to take...

I've never seen anyone do a rewire like this. I used the black/green stripe wire under the center console and ran a wire from it to the fuel pump. I know this that stock wire eventually gets to the fuel pump, but I don't know if I am bypassing anything important in between. It seems to work...

Can't find much info on these. I know before 1200cc was the biggest 'sure thing' to run on AEM and 1600cc was hit or miss without a driver box. Now these Bluemax injectors come in mid sizes of 1350 and 1450cc sizes. I'm wondering how they work on AEM without a driver box and if the ohm rating...

What kind of HP can the 255l pump support on e85. I can put in 1600cc injectors but really don't want to wire up a second pump. I do have an aftermarket FPR. This is on a 2.3L engine with an hx40 btw. I'm sure everyone will say the 255 isn't enough but does anybody actually know this for a...

No one wanted a straight body with some good parts still attached and a clean title and VIN from my 92 turbo AWD talon so....part 1http://a-mrazek.com/riptalon.wmv

When people port the exhaust sides of 1g heads do they ever grind the stock valve guides down flush or does it mess things up?I can't find anywhere were someone did on a DSM, but the ls1 guys have been known to do so, so I wanted to ask if it works for a DSM.

I had to adjust the clutch master cylinder rod out so it was just threaded flush under the dash.After my POS ACT came apart in to 8 pieces I put in a new one. Again it engages JUST off the floor and really unless I stomp it hard its not safe to drive.The pedal assembly has already...

The bronze lug that matches the bronze rota slipstream. The one that just takes a 3/8 drive to get off and not a socket because it's perfectly round on the outside. Who sells these?

My power windows won't work and instead of being something simple like the fuse or relay, its not getting power to the relay from the small blue/red stripe wire to trip the relay. I apply power to that wire and the relay clicks over and everything works. So were does the relay, more specifically...

To get it out you have to open it up so now I have a spring that I have no idea at what point to reset it in relation to the window. Of course thats pretty irrevelant when it looks impossible to get the cables wound tight enough around the pulley without sticking it so far in the door you can't...

My 92tsi motor doesn't have the thin metal piece with the notch between the timing and balancer gears on the crank. Any place to get one. Is there some other way I can time it off the dowel pin stuck in there or some other mark? Such a stupid little part is making me all fuxored!If I were...

I ordered one and was told it would ship a certain date, which it's missed. I've given it some time and will call them but they could tell me whatever and it not be true again, so I am wondering if anyone from here who has ordered and FP turbo got it quick like they said or not.

Blew up my 92 AWD tranny on the launch. Found another 93 AWD tranny with grinding gears. Here's where I am probably being stupid but if I only blew up the center diff and case I would like to use the 92 gears in the 93 case because I know it's all new (hub/slider) and didn't grind, where as...

What oil line mods have to be done to put an FP green on a 1g? I assume you can't get it with a water cooled housing?Also is there any reason to get them smaller 7cm2 housing over the 8cm2 housing? Is the top end noticably better with the 8?

I've been reading the archive's and seen a lot of posts with people having blown 50 trims from PTE from either too little or too much oil or not turbo timing them every time they shut the car off. I couldn't find anyone that had more then 15K on their 50 trim though at that time. I was...

Evo 16g's are $400 used. s16g's are hard to give away under $300. So with the millions of versions of the 50 trim out, why aren't 20g prices coming down. Think they ever will? I want a tdo6h 20g but dang they're more then 50 trims and you can't find a bolt on one for a 1g used anywhere. You...

I've read posts on here where people say their car runs better with their maft in 3in mode even when they have a 3.5 in maf. I have a 3.5in maf in a draw through configuration and decided to try it because I was getting to much knock the other way. Switched it to 3 in setting and turned the low...

I blew it up and I am afraid I am going to do it again. It's a torque thing. Best guess is the pinion gear rode up the ring gear and did shown damage. Is this where it normally breaks?[IMG]http://www.team3rdgen.com/images/upload/tcase.jpg

My 92tsi awd bottomed out on the frame a lot on the rear control arms. I thought maybe because it was lowered. I finally get a chance to look under it and the control arms appear on upside down. The gentle curve in them is curved up toward the frame and not down away from it. This is wrong...

Got Eibach lowering springs and KYB shocks on my 92 tsi. Not something I would recommend. The rear control arm is about 1 inch from the frame and any bump makes it bottom out. Looks like it's cutting in to the frame. I'd have to get a better look but I don't know if there's anyway to fix this??

Shop gets the 92 for a simple alignment of the rear. At which point they proceed to break off the bolt on the control arm near the center of the car. They put penetrating oil on the other and that nut comes off. Now as I understand it this is some special bolt that is flat/keyed on one side...

91tsi I could feel it happen at the top of 3rd. All of the sudden no power. Did a compression test and got 160 100 0 160. Put oil in the cylinder with 0 and it's still zero. This would lead me to believe it was a head gastket. The motor never overheated though. The plug on that cylinder...

Had a 14b and I completely pulled the vacum line so it would boost as high as possible. It only went to 16-18psi. I figured it reached it's mechancial limit. Now I have an evo 16g and it does the same thing. It won't boost any higher and I know this turbo can. I crushed my 1g BOV more thinking...

Ok I got the timing belt crank sprocket off with a homemade puller, now the balance shaft sprocket behind it has no holes to screw the puller in to. How the heck does it come off? I want to take the whole cover off to get the rear balance shaft of at some point.

It seems everyone on here says to recirculate the BOV air because the ECM has already measured it. I definitly disagree with that. The ECU reacts to the MAS immediatly. It doesn't remember that this air came in and now went 3 feet but then the BOV opened so the air is starting over but still...

Alright I'm upping the boost shortly on my 14b. Ok I should say upping it again. After the exhaust, with boost creep it hit 21psi before fuel cut. Fun times, fun times. :D Anyway I lowered it down to 10psi. Sometimes it creeps to 13psi. Now I have rewired the fuel pump, but the rest of the...

91TSI So much for going out in two's. Car backfires and runs rough. Pop's enough that the boost gauge will jump 2-3 psi ocassionally. Just started in about 1 days time. Anway the coil point closest to the firewall only fires once every couple seconds. I switch the wires on the same coil pack...

In the interest of laziness and since I have to do the timing belt anyway I am wondering if I can do the balance shaft removal at the same time and if it is as easy as I think I can make it. First I am going to cut the one balance shaft belt and leave everything in place for no leaks. That...

Just browsing through this forum and it looks like all manual tranny threads. Now I am well aware they are junk. Just wondering if the auto's are going 100K miles no problem.

Every single ad for a 90-94 tsi/gsx reads something like 130,000+gazillon miles, needs a new head gasket or timing belt. tranny has slight grind, $3300. Are you people really getting that kind of money for a car that needs $1000 in work to fix the tranny grinding and another $500 for a new head...
