Ok heres whats going on, my car is a 91 Talon AWD AUTOMATIC (just putting that out there so I don't get 5 speed type responses.). Got the car real cheap because the previous owner, had it at 3 shops and they couldn't figure out why the car was running so rich. Also since its an auto I have no...
Ok here's the deal I picked up and 91 AWD Talon cheap from a garage because the owner and mechanic could not figure out why the car was running so rich. So I brought it home and started looking at it and noticed that the fuel injectors were pink in color and not the normal blue 450cc injectors...
I am posting this up on someone elses suggestion that it might be helpful to to others. If any one dosen't know OBD II was designed to be a kind of generic, system common to all vehicles in the US sold after 1996. This was to allow a certan standard accross the auto industry, to make diagnosis...
I recently bought a 90 GSX and the week before I shipped it back to the states it began loosing coolant and heating up like crazy. My first thought was that the head gasket went on me, but then I realized for the amout of coolant I was loosing the exhaust should have looked like a fog machine...
Ok I recently dumped my 1g FWD project in favor of a 90 GSX that I was luck to find in such mint condition. The problem is that the week before I shipped it back from Germany the stock head gasket gave out. No big deal I'll just replace it, but while I had the whole thing ripped apart I was...
Ok I have my tranney out so I could do the B&M tranny insert mod.The whole thing went in fine no problems.But the directions i got off VFAQ left me wondering a few things:1.) When re-assemblying the transmision do I need to reseal the whole thing back together as it was when I took it apart...
Ok I finally got the thing running semi-right with the translator, but I am not building any boost.I thought maybe I had a leak but alas I cannot find one.Then I thought that my wastgate was stuck open, nope works fine when I move it.Do I have a problem with my boost controler or could it be...
OK I just completed the motor swap on my Talon and it refuses to start.So I played around with it a bit and I found out that it would start when I unpluged my MAS sensor, but it would not go above 2000 rpm,but not start with it pluged in.So I played around and at first thought it was the...
Ok so after much poking and proding I finally got my talon to start up after swaping the engine.It turns out that me in all my immortal wisdom pluged the fuel pressure regulator into the the EGR solenoid and not the fuel pressure solenoid valve causing a no start.But anyways back to my orignal...
Ok I just finished the swap for my car and I wouldn't start.Everything seemed to be in order and nothing appered to be wrong.It turned over just fine and almost started but refused to fire.So I pulled the spark plugs out and ensured that the were sparking and they all were just fine.So next I...
Ok I have eleminated just about every vacume line in my talon that is not nessisary for the car.However I have theses 2 little lines coming out of my thermostat housing.I found out that they are for the thermal vacume valve. I looked up the vacume diagram in the chiltons manauel and it shows...
Ok I just got done with my motor swap and I put in a new clutch.The clutch that I chose was an ACT 2600.I got it off ebay but the guy who was selling it didn't have a pic but the price was right for a new ACT 2600, so I went ahead and picked it up.When I got it I found out that in fact it was a...
Ok I have made my first boo boo of my whole engine swapping ordeal and could use some help. I got a 4g63 motor from japan(I know but I don't want to hear the whole "why did you buy a JDM engine thing" I've heard it a million time before it was for economical reasons). But any ways back to my...
Ok I just got my clutch kit(ACT 2600) and I know that everyone says that the NKG throw bearings suck.So when I got my kit it came with a Nachi throw bearing, and I was wondering if that was any good?I test fitted it and it didn't seem to stick at all and I tried to make it stick and it...
Ok I don't want to get into a big disscussion about this because I have already had like 10 of them, but I just bought a JDM 4g63 engine for my talon.Well I was in the lucky percentage that got one of the VR4 engines with the big 16g and the 510cc injectors in stock form.Well I just go one of...
I was wondering if anyone out there has any input on this, but what I would like to know is can the VPC run larger fuel injector or do you need another device to do that?I know the VPC replace the stock MAS but can it be used to tune fuel injectors to compensate for hight air flow?Thanks for the...
