    clutch break in

    I was wondering about the quality of those clutches. Could you give me your opinion on the one that you bought? What does the pedal feel like, what all came in the kit, does it engage quickly and hold, and overall craftsmanship of it, etc.?Yes, there is a 500mi break in for it, it should be...

    Stripped Cam Cap Hole

    Same thing happened to me as well. I ended up drilling and tapping to the next size up. Even tho I had to drill the cap out a bit I felt pretty confident that it would be as strong as it was supposed to be. But I agree with studding the caps it would be much better.

    95 n/t with turbo, no start

    im just hoping that you don't have bent valves from the timing being off. im not sure if you had low compression before this problem but that could be a sign. the pistons could have nicked it just enough to make them not seat, but when i bent valves i went all out and had 0 across the board...

    broken motor mounts

    i know the post is old, but just to answer the question... yes broken motor mounts would make it a bit more difficult to shift resulting in possible grinding of the syncros in your tranny caused by the tranny/engine moving while you are trying to shift. hope this helps someone if they happen to...

    Grounded Battery on strut bar

    just a thought, but my car did the whole no start and loss of power until to you disconnect and reconnect the battery when it was low, had bad connections, and a shorted cell in the battery. maybe your battery could actually have an open cell/cells now since it shorted to ground through the...

    Weird idle problem....

    its sounds like you have a leak somwhere. i dont know if this could help you, but it could get worse when it gets warmer because of thermal expansion of materials. that's exactly what happened with my IM gasket when it was leaking. i also went a similar path by replacing the IAC, cleaning the...

    lower control arm help ...

    you can disconnect the upper ball joint and pivot the knuckle forward to get the axle out of the hub. but you still need the damper fork off, so you may have to cut both sides of the bolt off, spread the fork open a bit to get it off and the axle should come right out.as far as the control...

    the highest i could find on 2gnt is 98. it should be the same, or else id think they'd have a separate pinout diagram for the 99 on 2gnt's site. just double check the pins and wire colors and you should be good.2GNT.com - 1998_ECU

    bulit motor low compression

    just to add a classic headgasket sign. the eclipse n/t i just bought has compression of 190-190-130-86. where do you think the problem is? between the last 2 of course. i did a leakdown and when air was put into cyl 3 it shot out cyl 4. the headgasket between cyl 3 and 4 was blown out. just an...

    bulit motor low compression

    oh, according to the manual, break-in consists of letting it warm up. then taking it out for 6-12 WOT runs in third gear from 35 to 55mph, then letting engine braking bring it back down to 35mph. that is what actually seats your piston rings into the cylinder walls and enables good compression...

    even though the HG was just replaced, i just wanted to point out that i have had that happen on my car with a bad HG. leaks from cyl 3 to 4. i found out in leakdown test. it shot straight out of the thermostat housing just like that even with a thermostat in place. but it only did it when the...

    Weird idle problem....

    i had a similar problem when my intake manifold gasket was cracked allowing too much air to get in during idle. anything on the intake side allowing excessive air to get in will raise the idle. check any possible causes, intake mani gasket, injector o-ring seals, open ports on manifold, or...

    flywheel torque spec??

    torque spec is 94-101Ft/lbs. sequence would be the same as torquing down lug nuts, start at one and keep going toward the one furthest away from it like you would do with lug nuts. and if you are VERY good at judging torque from experience then try it with a breaker bar, but i'd suggest renting...

    bulit motor low compression

    how much boost did you break it in under? also, how exactly did you break it in? can you describe what you did to break it in?if you can do a leakdown test it will tell you what happened without tearing it back down. if you have an air compressor take the one way valve out of the hose you...

    yeah i know, boost is addicting!! but none of the previous things done to the car should have anything to do with the issue you're having. let us know tomorrow if its white, blue, black smoke, since it'll be daylight and you'll know for sure. i'm heading out to taco bell and gettin off though...

    Smoke!!! What the hell!?!?

    ok excellent. but by any chance have you noticed the smell of the smoke? if you run actual coolant then the smoke should smell somewhat like it, like kind of sweet. oil will smell like burnt oil obviously (have no other way to describe it) and be a noticable blue, fuel will smell like fuel. that...

    Smoke!!! What the hell!?!?

    if its white its coolant.white=coolant black/charcoal=fuel (rich AFR situation) blue=oilknowing what to look at is your first step. i'd say you should look through the cooling system of why you could be burning coolant in the combustion chamber or leaking turbo seals if water cooled...

    i dont know what the tick could be other than the injectors, rods, hydralic lash adjusters, or possible wrist pin damage. but i do hope its injectors or "lifters" and you're paranoid. however i do hope you broke this engine in enough to seat the piston rings.There is a certain way to seat...

    is the wastgate actuator working properly, or is the wastegate itself stuck closed? first disconnect the wastegate actuator arm from the internal wastegate lever on the housing, and make sure you can move it freely through it's range. if that is fine then you can check the actuator. you will...

    im running rich how do i change that

    The Oxygen Sensors do affect the AFR (air/ fuel ratio). However, other sensors do as well. The others are the, MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure), TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), and ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor). All of these affect fuel delivery, which will affect air/fuel...

    it really comes down to what you prefer and if you have a hoist or not. if you did put both in connected you would either have to pull it up from the bottom of the bay, or put it in from the top at a really good angle to get the tranny to clear the tranny mount. either ways can be done.i...

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    you could test for a major clog, at least in the upper part of the engine if you want the reassurance. take a hose and stick it in the thermostat housing and turn it on and see if water comes out of where the water pump would be almost as fast as its going in. or you could use a gallon jug, but...

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    well there you go, you're eliminating a lot of these other things by testing/checking them. with the the thermo being good, im thinking its the pump. it pretty much has to be unless you have a major clog to prevent the coolant to flow after the thermostat opens. oh, and are your fans set to push...
  45. 95 'clipse RS

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

  46. 95 'clipse RS

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    yeah i know what you mean. the water pump seems fine in theory. but to me that only leaves something like the thermo, head gasket, or a clog of some sort in the head or block like you mentioned with the sludge. IMO if he meant that he put his finger in the coolant after the thermostat was...

    Need Opinions on Painted Wheels

    looks great!!! and depending on the lowered amount, id personally do maybe a 205/50 or 55 just to fill the wells up. but if you like the low profile then probably 205/45. although the full diameter would be kinda small. but i think it'd still look awesome. that paint scheme looks great

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    actually the boiling points are a bit different. water boils over at 212 degrees F. However, a 50/50 mix of water and coolant will boil over at approx. 268 degrees F.also, i dont see the heater core posing as a threat to this overheating. yes, he stated he isn't getting sufficient heat, but...

    it honestly sounds like the water pump, if the thermostat was actually stuck closed it would overheat badly. but with the fact that you're saying the water isn't flowing well, and from the first post that when you rev it up some it drops the temps, it sounds like the pump. if anything, revving...
