I Think I found the problem or a combination of two.I put a Fram Tough Guard oil filter on the car when I did the oil change.I have never used Fram before and don't plan to on any other DSM's.There is an orange rubber gasket that covers all the small holes in the end of those filters (Tough...
I am really confused by this problem.I drove the car about 6 miles the other day and noticed I had no oil pressure.I stopped to check the oil level and the dipstick was dry.I checked for leaks, walked and got 2 quarts of oil,added it,waited 5 minutes and checked the stick,it said it was a...
Nice,I bet that 18g will be fun.You running on 93 pump? I'm at the limit of my stock 450's and need to make the jump to 650's.I'm going to do the timing belt job with a Gates belt and eliminate the balance shaft in the next month and basically continue with maintainence until it's strip ready.
I know this is old but for anyone with the same question about the draw the compressor has on the motor,remove the ac belt and restart the car,check the idle.
welcome and yeah,that's quite a change!Those look backed out a bit so for now you could just tighten them up once you get them broke free.I'd also try a breaker bar,I've never liked impacts for frozen bolts.EDIT: on second look,the crossmember doesn't really look like the weight of the motor...
Like I said,something simple and I screw it up.I had disconnected the fat vacuum line to the brake booster to get a look at the clutch master cylinder and completely forgot.I saw the shiny ass nipple on the manifold shining in the sun this morning and felt like a moron.On a side note the...
Ok,found that it's 30* ATDC to do a boost leak test.It has to be something I bumped like put a hole in a line somewhere and I'm just not thinking about it or checking everywhere.I'll try to boost/vac leak test it when its not raining.
When its daylight,move your snap on headliner piece to the side and look up at the actual canvas top,if you can see pinholes of light everywhere your top is shot and you need a new Stayfast Canvas covering which run about $400.If you don't see pinholes everywhere,you may be able to coat it...
Inspection may be hit or miss but swapping out the pipe for the stock one it ran fine with yesterday,would be a great start if that was the pipe that was suspect.I really touched nothing else when removing that pipe.Even removed it and re-installed it to fab up the pipe and it was fine...
Pay attention to jrohner's post above.You need to break in the clutch for 500 miles of moderate city driving staying out of the boost!!!!!!!!!!.The friction disk,pressure plate,and flywheel all need to seat together and then your clutch will have the holding power it should and not slip.Hit 5...
MAF was never unplugged but I wiggled it in case..no vac lines to the intale,running a breather.I'll go check those couplers...its gotta be a massive leak
Did you perhaps adjust that clutch master cylinder rod the wrong way? You're wanting it to go further out the the end of its threads.I just did an ACT 2100 install and did not shim the pivot ball,the clutch wanted to engage directly off the floor.(this is my own fault)I also had the problem of...
I made a licp out of exhaust tubing,put it in yesterday,triple checked the couplers for leaks (which shouldn't matter until it sees boost) and my car won't idle,It will start and go to about 2000 rpms and slowly drop back to about 800 and then just shake and fight to run then it dies.Should I...
The car is still going strong! I recently installed an ACT 2100 clutch kit that stressed out the seal on my clutch master cylinder, which I have the rebuild kit for.I have a CEL recently that comes and goes,I believe it to be ISC related.I plan to get a SAFC for it,wideband,oil pressure...
haha...that was you! What you said makes plenty of sense now and if after bleeding it still is not right,I'll man up and pull that thing back out when I find another project.Nightracer91,I have also not messed with the clutch master cylinder pushrod adjustment so I'll look at that after...
It sits quite centered in the rectangular hole/boot in the tranny.I'm not taking any action as of yet with the extended rod or pivot ball,was just a thought on how they both work.I plan to bleed the system to see if that helps, I just need to get some fluid first.I see what you're saying...
I just put in an ACT 2100 clutch in my 92 and after reading several threads saying to shim the pivot ball with an aftermarket clutch....somehow my dumb ass neglected to do it and I even remember a quote from one thread."Don't come cryin' back here when your clutch engages just off the floor"...
I'm looking into gutting that thing,the way smoke blasts out of the pre-cat exhaust leaks leads me to believe that that cat is blocked as hell.We need a "punch the cat" icon,haha!
Anyone else have any thoughts on this other than "that dumbass needs to rebuild his whole motor!"?I can't afford the valvecover gasket and have still got to track down a valve spring copressor but was wondering if anyone had any further thoughts?Its also DOES NOT SMOKE ALL THE TIME,only...
Looks like you need to make your own new thread called the "Harbor Frieight $410" paint job".This completely strays away from the method and cost but good job anyway!!!!!
No,I'm saying the spark plug tubes are bone dry....the only thing that get covered in oil is the tip of the plug or electrode if I leave them in all night like most eveybody does.I have a honda too and when you put a plug socket on 2 of those it comes out half covered in oil....been like...
I posted back to this SAturday,guess I never hit submit.Yes NT NO TURBO.Read the first post it will tell you all that and I'll post more when I get home.I was screwin with ya about the blown turbo dude.:tease:
Dude!!! Why didn't I think of the turbo being bad!?!?!?!It looks exactly like yours....ROFLI'm gonna go ahead and replace them valvestem seals,thanks for getting the replies rollin on this one...just was the only thing I could think of that would foul plugs like that.It...
You gave me a suggestion that I said was not an option at this point....unless I rebuild it myself I don't trust it and I can't afford that right now. Some used 70,000 mile engine may have problems of its own.Thanks but no thanks.If not the vavlvestem seals,what would cause oil to cover my...
My Spyder is a 97 with right about 160,000 miles so I know it could use a full rebuild but thats simply not an option.Compression is at factory specs,190 all the way across.If I leave the plugs in the head overnight,it will foul every one of them and then I have to replace them to get...
Leave Tweed interiors to the mini truckers....."Drag and Destroy".I have those same door panels in my 92 and will get rid of them ASAP...down with the tweed interior:notgood:.
Your mom sucks.Screw what she said and tell her to have some damn respect for your car.Its entirely the tow truck drivers fault for trying the same thing that just didn't work the first time knowing he had the wrong hooks,call another truck ya jackass!Aftermarket bumper? BS!!!!Go to...
Looks pretty good for a spray noob such as myself and you.I have a question on your buffing though and why you couldn't get it to a mirror shine.....Did you get an actuall high speed polisher and a buffing bonnet or doid you have an orbital buffer from say wal-mart for $40?That looks...
Good luck Trooper!It'll be real cool to see how it turns out with the blue flake over the pearl but heres a thought.When I got some silver pearl to do the Spyder,I was told you really can't sand it until you clearcoat it because of the depth needed to achieve the pearl effect.Also,when...
I bought this car beat down and not running,originally NT,with the purpose of taking it to the track.The turbo conversion is complete and I built it with a few mods like a 3" exhaust and downpipe,AFPR,Walbro 255 rewired,Dejon UICP with RS knockoff.Emissions components are removed as well as the...
Searched pages of MMCD results.Posted another similar question once as well with no response.What could be wrong? Am I simply needing to use another version?1.5 is even worse and won't log anything.Any thoughts at all would really help,I just need to read the damn CEL so I can...
Great meet! good meeting everryone we did and my wife and I had alot of fun...she's now wanting a dsm as well,haha.You know we'll be at the next one in 2010 and heres a couple pics of the meet....
I have a 92 Eclipse GS that I swappped the organs from a 94 TSi into.I removed all the evap/emissions stuff and drove for 220 miles with no noticeable problems. While messin with motor mounts the other day,I noticed that there's an open what looks to be a purge line that was open so I capped...
Appreciate the quick response and link but they show almost everything I need,haha.Its not the part of the motor mount with the 4 bolts that mounts to the fender,its the other part that bolts to the tranny.I could be making a huge deal out of nothing but being a machinist...that makes no...
Heres a problem I have....a friend removed it so I didn't get to see it before it came off but I surely can't understand how it should bolt back up.The bottom of the mount has sat flat against something but nothing is there.We didn't lose a part as far as I know .If there was a standoff to...
I live in Gainesville where Raxles is and have spoke personally with and done work for the owner.I called for a 93-94 set of FWD axles and he said they had to be custom made,nobody stocks them and he doesn't have the parrts to make them and he promply rushed me off the phone.I understand...
1.5 was no different.Not sure what the problem is that causes that to happen but I got it to re-calibrate the stylus after the install by tapping the menu button in the lower left hand corner of the screen on the palm 3 times until I could see the "welcome" icon....by tapping an inch above...
I made a cable per the "how to setup mmcd and make a cable" thread and I can't even tell if it works because I can't uncheck the pause button on the screen because the pointer selects whatever is an inch or so down and to the left of there I physically put the pointer on the screen.I know its...
I'll be there again!!!If anyone is having any thoughts about coming to the meet you really should,this man knows how to plan a function!!!!I went for only one day 2 years ago and it was without a doubt the most fun I've ever had at anything car related.Now that I have my 1G turbo swap...
Interesting problem I ran into ordering these 94 axles with the bigger spline...nobody seems to have a different part # for 1G's,they all will ship the smaller splined axles even if you ask for a 94 set.Carquest showed a difference in parts but its the difference between an Eagle and a...
ALWAYS USE MOTOR OIL OR WD-40 WHEN TAPPING.Anything is better than nothing.Lubrication is your friend,even removing the tap would be easier with some slickness but I'm glad you got it out.I have almost 4 yrs machine shop experience and have seen some pretty hard to remove taps...you sure got...
