Got a little more work done on tear down and cleanup this evening. I think this parts washer was my best investment I made in my home shop last year, chuck stuff in, turn the timer and walk away.
Thanks! Yea I was all hyped about chopping the front off, until I did it, now I am thinking it will be a much more difficult task to make it work and look clean than I initially thought, but oh well too late now! lol.Wire hunting, always fun. Nothing worse than electrical gremlins.
Well I actually got a bit of work in on the car today. It has been parked beside my shop behind the house for the past few months. I drug it around front to the driveway to do some teardown. Pulled the engine and trans out of it, removed stock fuel lines in engine bay, any and all misc. brackets...
Thanks for the support guys, Ive always thought about attempting the 14b record but always was sidetracked with other projects, now that this 2g fell into my lap I figured it would be a waste of a decent DSM not to give it a second lease on life.
Definitely not going to even be close to an easy...
Dont know if I will be able to get that deep into the list, but I'm certainly going to try. LOL
Been doing a little bit of weight research, found that a 2g GST is only about 130lbs heavier than a 1g GST. So I have hope that I can shave down a bunch of weight and actually be competitive for the...
I am aware the 2g is heavy, thus why I want to try to hit the top 10 with one. No one has done it. Everyone uses 1g's because they are lighter. Bet if you would have asked people if a 2g would ever come close to sheps record without being tube chassis everyone would have said no way, but the red...
Been a long time since I have read through this thread, need to go back through it for a refresher, been a long time since I have been a DSM owner, been through a few platforms since, currently have an Evo and I ended up adding a 2G GST to the collection through some work I did for a customer. I...
Very good info you provide. Glad we have you here on tuners. I actually plan to build a 6 bolt here some day soon and want to delve into the assembly portion myself. Just something I have always wanted to do. I find your info you provide on multiple threads here very helpful.
WOW, Did YOU search at all? The N/T 1G is still a 4g63 unless he had a 1.8 N/T. Get over yourself and if you dont know the facts dont go talking down to another member who is asking a legitimate question.
You are taking internet commentary entirely too serious.
Instead of picking up your toys and leaving the sandbox, how about you do your mod and prove your theory? Prove the other kids in the sandbox wrong.
I was not saying that not having zerk fittings was the issue. I am saying that you need to install fittings in the holes to prevent water/dirt/debris from entering into the ball joints.
Instead of chasing your tail trying to figure out what company was contracted by Mitsubishi to save a few bucks how about you just support one of the major vendors who have supported the DSM community for YEARS and just order OEM stuff from them?
I understand you are trying to find the original...
Yea you must be right. I'm sure you have actually taken automotive electrical certification classes. In fact I'm sure major automotive manufacturers such as Ford must be misguided with using uninsulated crimp connectors and adhesive lined heat shrink as a recommended and approved wiring repair...
Zerk fittings.If they have a hole they should have a grease fitting. Are you sure there werent fittings in the bags/box they came in? You cannot leave an exposed hole for contamination to get into the ball joint. Thats the whole point of a zerk fitting to seal the joint but allow it to be...
Those deposits on the plug look like that cylinder is burning oil. Do a compression check. If you arent having any symptoms of blown head gasket (IE: blowing coolant out of overflow, smoke out of exhaust, loss of coolant, etc) I would say you dont have a head gasket problem. Coolant will not...
Actually crimp connectors like these : BUTT CONNECTOR NON-INSULATED 22-18GA SEAMLESS 100PK
work just fine. You will not have any noticeable difference in resistance through the connection when comparing to a solder joint. Use these crimps with adhesive lined heat shrink over them and never...
That's not a problem with the slave cylinder. Put the trans in gear and use the driveshaft flange on the rear of the trans to turn the input shaft until it slides into the clutch and pilot bearing. Did you replace the clutch while you were there? If so did you use a clutch alignment tool?
I have had my Eastwood TIG200 for a couple months now. I LOVE it. I bought it to start with because I wanted a cheap way to get into TIG to see if I would enjoy doing it and be able to learn how to do it. It has not failed me yet on anything I have tried to do.
I have done stainless, aluminum...
Yep valve cover is cracked. Time to either ghetto fix it with some Right stuff, get a new cover, or get the cover stripped, welded and re-coated/painted
Because it won't hurt anything. Explain to me how a retainer is going to come up from the bottom of the pan with 4.5 quarts in it and wedge itself into the crank. Exactly, it won't.
Agreed, nothing is going to make it up through the motor to cause harm, it will just sit at the bottom of the pan until one day it happens to be close to the drain plug when you change your oil and it will come out. The pickup screen will keep it from going anywhere important until then.
And BTW...
Ok so 9 gauge for the coolant tanks and 12 gauge for the catch cans, thanks for the input on that aspect.
Now I am wondering what shear I could get that would handle the 9 gauge aluminum. I kinda want a brake/shear combo. I dont want to dump a ton of money on one because I just bought my tig so...
Just picked up an Eastwood Tig200 a couple weeks ago, been practicing welding on some spare aluminum plates I had laying around. I want to start playing around with making catch cans and coolant tanks. I plan to start with aluminum sheets and cut them down to size for the walls of the cans...
Possible but it wont be as effective. Water/Meth needs room to atomize properly which is why you put it before the TB, I believe they say about 18" pre-TB is where it should be to allow plenty of room to atomize properly before it enters the motor. So it is not recommended to run nozzles into...
Yea I started off very low and slow on the first couple to the left I wanted to make sure I had the move then dip filler down without touching the tungsten. The last baby one I ramped the heat up a bit because it did seem to take a bit to form a puddle so I figured it needed more juice and it...
Go to your local auto parts store and see if you can pick up a UV dye kit with a light and glasses and a bottle of oil dye. Put the dye into your crankcase, clean the area with all the leaking up real well with some brake cleaner and let it dry. Then start the car and stare at the area with your...
How is it NOT his problem? If you take your car to any top reputable shops and it blows up on the dyno that is YOUR problem. Sorry bud you dont get an engine warranty with dyno time.
Probably a clogged radiator. You can try taking the radiator out and sticking the hose in the inlet and outlet one at a time of course and pumping water through it each way a few times to try and dislodge anything that might be stuck inside.
Also, you do not need to have the heater on to burp...
If you still have your oreillys cap, pull the gasket off of that one and add it on top of the gasket on your OEM cap. If a double stacked gasket doesnt fix your issue you more than likely cracked your valve cover. It often will look like it is coming from the cap but usually it is a hairline...
Well like it was posted earlier, this turbo doesnt really wake up until you hit 21-22psi. My car at 21-22 was a HUGE increase over the 18-19 I had run before. I ran 11.5:1 a/f on pump 93 with no meth, a lot of people dont like em that lean but mine loved it, however your results may vary. 11.6...
We need to clarify something first. Was it the top part of the plug that was saturated or was it the part with the electrode that actually is in the combustion chamber? If it was the top part you will need new spark plug well seals. They should come in a decent valve cover gasket set like...
Well your temp gauge works off of a seperate temp sensor that is used solely for the gauge in your dash. The ECU uses a different temp sensor for engine management purposes. The dash gauges have a wide "margin of error" so to speak. Always best to closely monitor temps in link when logging and...
Ok, you are right on with nozzle size, a proper injection setup will get you about 1 point lower on a/f. If what I am seeing on the log is correct (AEMWB) you are at about 11.1:1 or so, give or take .1 for most of the run. I would be shooting for more like 11.6:1 on meth.
I dont see ANY knock in...
