Hey all, its been a long time since I've posted anything and am in need of some clarification on wiring in some sensors as I'm currently working on my harness.I am going to wire in a wideband o2 and a fuel pressure sensor. I am not running the factory o2 and will use NBsim. So that leaves...

Hey guys, working on getting my head back on after a stupid mistake on my part.Anyways, I have evo 8 springs and retainers. I had to remove them to replace valves. I figured, with all the iffyness about them, I'd grab a set of BC springs. Bought ONLY the springs because I figured I'd just...

Hey all,I'm in the process of working on putting my rear end back together. Since it's out, I figure now is the best time to install a sway bar. But having been soo long since I've driven the car and the fact that it'll be a totally different animal, I could use some help making the choice...

Parts list? Not really, but you pretty much want to get everything from a 3kgt vr4 for the rear...- both rear trailing arms from a 2g 3kgt vr4 (make sure it's all there... ebrake set up, backing plate, ebrake cables, hub, axle cups AND the nut and washers that hold them on)- upper and lower...

It might be a little before I mount them up.... working on the rear end... evo 3 mechanical diff with diff rebuild, clean and painting rear subframe and replacing bushings. And find the time, lol.I am having trouble finding the cut and weld work i did to the trailing arms, but i can snap some...

Yeah, I will post up some pics. I think they are on my old phone, but I'll find them. I was just curious really, thank you for the insight though. I already planned on going with the wider track so the only mod I did to the trailing arm was the shock mounting point. I'm using the 1g lower...

I get all that. That's cool. But if you just shorten the upper and lower control arms, did you change how the front of the arm mounts as well? I'd imagine if you didn't the arms would sit angled to in, but on the backside of the tire? Or am I just imagining this?I apologize for the barrage...

How so? What trouble? Don't want to make use of the wider track? Granted the fronts you'd have to use some spacers to match ....

That looks great! But do you mind if I ask why you shortened the upper and lowers? I assume to bring the wheels in so they don't stick out??

Yes they do. As does 3sx. I went my way with the welding because I already have suspension for the car and didn't want to replace it.

It very well could be. Doing that on mine right now. The 3kgt vr4 and 1g rear trailing arms are almost identical. The evo 8 rear caliper bolts right up and retains the e-brake which is in the top hat of the rotor separate from the caliper. 3kgt vr4 ebrake cables work with no modification. The...

It's an awd. And I have seen that post before, but that's for factory strut swap. I'm going performance. I guess I just like the idea of having it be a bolt on affair and wanted to know if this would work.... not that I can't fab and weld on my own.I currently have Tein super street coil...

So a buddy of mine has a 3kgt and I've been helping him work on it. While looking at the 3sx.com website for performance parts, I came across this kit...http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_viewItemBundle.asp?idProduct=34892It's an adapter kit to make the Evo 8 suspension a direct bolt on the...

I have been looking into the thought of getting anti lag setup on my 1g... Are there any benefits to doing it this way vs. Air injection into the exhaust manifold?Also, everyone says it is hell on a turbo... But how would a Holset stand up to it? Turbo off a diesel, made for abuse... Any...

Lol, it happens to the best of us

Just to make sure I got your arrow.... You put a wrench on and we're pulling towards the front of the car... If so, unfortunately, you were tightening it.

The gaps are definitely too big... Electrodes are worn down.Second plug from the left look like it ran the hottest...Far right plug looks off... Has some build up on it... Might be coolant.And the porcelain on the far left is discolored more than the other 3, but I'm not sure...

just for starters, my car is nowhere near finished or running, but i have been taking time to read and learn all i can. i have a 1g that i will be using Link V3 to tune, but also will be running BC272's with fidanza cam gears and i am using the cyclone intake manifold which will be actuated by...

This may sound crazy, but did you have the intake manifold off of the head? If so, did you put a manifold gasket on? I'm not trying to be rude, but sometimes it's simple or dumb mistakes that cause the biggest issues.....

How much boost are you running? What turbo is on the car?

Apexi N1 exhaust system, no cat, no resonator... It's LOUD and throaty! Will definitely turn some heads. Friends got it on his 2g, but it sounds great!

Yes, that's the right spot. That is a filtered oil feed.

When you installed the master cylinder... Did you bleed the master by itself before bleeding the calipers? It is possible for air to be trapped in there, maybe expanding where getting warmed up and applying pressure on the fluid to the calipers?? Just a thought.And does the brake...

It's unfortunate that there are scumbags out there... Smh. Although I haven't downloaded or used link tools, I've only read amazing things about it. I have yet to have my car running on my dsm link yet, and would love to give this program a go. If by chance you ever decide to make it...

I have a couple questions in regards to the weld in sleeve for the Chrysler style screw in ball joints.I just ordered the sleeves so I can weld them onto my LCA's. Before I cut them up, how did you all set up placement for the sleeves? Do I just center the sleeve over the factory ball joint...

I, too have run into this issue. On a 1g using a Saturn alternator with the spacer on the driver side of the bracket, I think I had maybe 1/16" between the alt pulley and frame, which I'm not comfortable with. And it's also known to me that there has been no front end collisions on this...

If your only getting 3 psi max on a boost leak test, there should be a large, easy to find boost leak! And a boost leak that big can cause a misfire.I would definitely suggest the following: 1. Boost leak test and fix every leak you find 2. Check the resistance of your ignition coils(as per...

Awesome! Thank you twicks.... I've done a lot of reading to make that choice. I'm glad you agree!

I'm looking at getting an ss-x tz/b combo for my build. I'm in search of 500whp and who knows where i will be on the torque side of things. Have a Fidanza flywheel, getting a new friction surface. The car will be mostly a weedend warrior, possibly seeing a few times at the drag strip and...

Is your fuel pump not rewired directly to the battery? If your volts are that low, they are possibly lower at the pump. Low voltage at the pump will affect fuel pressure, which if you don't have enough fuel, could cause laggyness, stumbling, knocking. I'd start with a rewire of the pump and...

Wow OP..... You are one hard headed, ignorant dude! Some of the guys here have been doing this with these cars specifically for a long time. There advice is golden! Keep quiet long enough to think and comprehend what they are saying.... You just might learn something!What boggles my mind...

That is looking real good! I'm about to get going on some similar rust repair... Awesome to see people keeping these cars clean and in great shape!

Thanks Breezio... Very well put and exactly what I needed to know. Will definitely make life easier and makes tons of sense having it closer to the turbo

I have had an idea for my car I'm building... It may seem like a lot, but I don't mind.... Just curious about one thing....So, my car will be street driven often.. custom made downpipe with wideband o2 welded after flex section. Not going to run a factory o2, going to use narrowband...

I would check for knock and physically check the sensor itself.

Man.... When I was in high school, all I had really thought was cool was Hondas.... So glad I dodge that bullet!I had gotten my license at 16, was driving around in my dads Buick station wagon with a friend, and he yelled and pointed out a dark blue 1g and said "it's turbo!". My eyes lit up...

The 3g brake booster fits in a 1g... Definitely very tight getting it in there. But it fits, no modding necessary.

Also, when lowering the car, clearances change... That passenger rear noise could be something hitting the exhaust... Or the exhaust hangers themselves are worn out.

No problem. But I hope this doesn't shy you away from them. I've run them for 30k+ miles and haven't had a single issue with them, or with the oil squirters being hit.Like I said, on my build they JUST touched, so I figured with thermal expansion, it'd be a safe bet to tweak the squirters...

I noticed you are using/plan on using weisco 9.0:1 pistons... I'm running those.What I've read AND found out on my own is that the skirt of those pistons come VERY close, if not touches the oil squirters. I would check this and give them a little tweak either way.I simply used a map gas...

I second his motion ^.... Just get a whole new set of pistons, larger of course, I would assume .020 over and have a machine shop re-bore it. That is the safest route with a much better chance for the longevity of the motor.Sure, you might be able to get away with just the one.... But do you...

I agree with darksun... Find out what the check engine light is.... I'd put money on the coolant temp sensor, or a MAF starting to go...

Also, since there was no info on the eBay wheel I posted the link to, I messaged the seller for more specific info.... This is what he sent....56 mm X 83.03 mm X 88.22 mm The Billet weighs in at 87 grams The factory cast aluminum wheel weighs in at 114.5 grams. Difference of 27.5 grams = just...

Is there any upgrade for the thrust system on the holset?

Ok, I've looked around at kinugawa and snail and kts... No one had any listing for holset specific billet compressors...I did find this on eBay... The only one posted... Thoughts?http://m.ebay.com/itm/190988687951?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1

Does anyone make billet compressor wheels for holset turbos, specifically a wh1c??

If I remember right, when I was removing my automatic seatbelts... They both tied into either box respectively.... I would assume they are the controllers for the seatbelts....

Just a thought, but unless it is POURING, wouldn't a little rain actually keep the turbine housing clean-er? I mean, while running with hot exhaust comming out, any droplets that enter would become "steam" and in a way, "steamclean" the exhaust/turbine???Correct me if I'm wrong... Just...

I think the center console is a great idea, maybe even a step further do all three of those pieces that go from center console up to gauges.... I've always wanted to do that!

Lol... Ive been working on it... Have a date on Friday and picked up GTA 5 to pass the time
