    2G How reliable will my gst be at 400-450whp?

    Were the head and block finished specifically for the MLS Cometic? If I recall, manufacturer recommends surface finish of 50 RA.

    420A Oil light

    You could inspect the wiring/connector for the oil pressure switch:I there is damage/leaking oil, it should be replaced.

    1G 1Gb FWD exhaust

    Unfortunately, you may be better off having one made. If you happen to find one, be aware there are two styles for 1ga and 1gb due to rear bumper changes.

    2G Did I get the right parts to install a 1g BOV?

    It would be more cost effective without the need for adapters. It will look completely OEM.

    2G Did I get the right parts to install a 1g BOV?

    CrackedDSM has a great suggestion regarding the adapter to use the 1g bypass valve with the 2g OEM setup.Alternatively, if you currently have the OEM plastic bypass valve, you have another great option to the 1g bypass valve. The Evo 8/9 bypass valve installs the same way as the 2g without an...

    Part finding

    For aftermarket gaskets/seal kits, Fel-pro is my personal preference. The perma-torque/perma-dry line is good quality at a reasonable price.For exhaust gaskets/seals specifically; Fel-pro, Mahle, and Victor Reinz are good.For oil seals, National and Timken are good choices.

    Resolved 1G Water pump gasket question

    The Fel-pro gasket should be fine so long as both mating surfaces are clean and free of existing gasket material. For a little extra piece of mind, you could use copper spray gasket. It also helps the gasket stay in place during install. The o-ring that goes on the water pipe will need to be...

    2G O2 housing for E3 TDO5H in a 2G

    There was also a batch of older MR downpipes that were fit for the Evo3 o2 instead of 2g o2 housing.

    2G O2 housing for E3 TDO5H in a 2G

    An existing downpipe can be modified to account for the angle of the E3 o2 housing. The RRE downpipe fit perfectly.

    2G Anyone know what the torque spec is for a 2G throttle body shaft

    I rebuilt a couple throttle bodies with info. from this Jafro video. The mil-spec seals have to be installed near-perfect, or they leak as @snowborder714 mentioned.Rebuild shots from a build thread:

    1G EGR Valve

    There should be a sticker on the hood with the emissions routing for your particular car. Being the EGR valve is gone, you may have more components missing as well. Below, you'll find a basic outline of vacuum routing:

    1G BISS screw stuck

    For reference, from my build thread:
  13. 2gmitsueclipse

    1G BISS screw stuck

    Since you have the throttle body off, would be a good time to rebuild it. Shaft seals are a common pressure leak point.
  14. 2gmitsueclipse

    1G BISS screw stuck

    It may have been bottomed out or cross-threaded. The thread is very fine on this particular screw. Pulling the throttle body would be a good idea at this point. You might have luck using a manual impact screwdriver. For reference:
  15. 2gmitsueclipse

    1G BISS screw stuck

    You could try a small amount of penetrating oil such as PB-Blaster or Kroil. This is the drawback of the metal BISS screw over the plastic one. At minimum, you'll want to replace the o-ring. Some anti-seize would be helpful for next time if you're able to remove the screw undamaged.

    1G BISS screw stuck

    Is your biss screw plastic-like or metal?

    ECMlink Help - Is it possible to get a ECMLink tune from parts list thats close enogh to run the car to get it tuned?

    If you haven't purchased the car yet, I recommend having it towed somewhere to get it thoroughly checked out. There may be more going on than you are aware of.

    ECMlink Help - Is it possible to get a ECMLink tune from parts list thats close enogh to run the car to get it tuned?

    That is a v3 cable. Check the links posted previously to see about getting started with a base if you wish to drive your car to someone to tune it.

    What does the cable that connects to the computer look like?Read through the links posted. Since this is a "new to you" car, there are a few items to check before tuning happens.

    ECMlink Help - Is it possible to get a ECMLink tune from parts list thats close enogh to run the car to get it tuned?

    What version of ECMLink are you working with? V2 would lose a tune on the 2g with battery power loss.If you want to do a little more research about what is involved in the tuning process check out: Thread 'Tuning With ECMLink v3' https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/tuning-with-ecmlink-v3.448002/...

    2G Possible mistake with a Megan Racing Downpipe

    You could try trimming a washer to act as a spacer where the weld joint is on the flange. Then, as suggested, clearance the pipe enough to fit the nut. Don't forget to clearance enough for the socket.

    2G Possible mistake with a Megan Racing Downpipe

    Aside from the fitment suggestions already given, there is also a difference in the Evo III o2 housing. They look very similar to the 1g/2g style, but the downpipe flange on the Evo III o2 housing is at a different angle.

    Kroil has a pretty bad smell as well. Definately best to use with good ventilation.

    Quality shop supplies. Make life easier.

    A couple that come to mind for me are:1. anti-seize lubricant. Nickel-based for exhaust components.2. PB Blaster for general purpose penetrating oil. Kroil for the stubborn parts.3. Sil-Glyde is my go to for brake component lubrication.4. Blue painters tape to label...

    2G What DSMLink version is this?

    Looks like you have a v2 there. See if you can contact the previous owner for the cable. You won't be able to upgrade to v3 (current version) without the cable. No exceptions unfortunately.

    Help with oil filter housing ports.

    When blocking the oil cooler ports, it is also recommended to remove the oil cooler bypass valve (location pictured in post #2). There is a plug that deletes this available. Alternatively, you can remove the spring and c-clip, then reassemble. Below, you can see the oil plugs and oil cooler...

The settings would revert to what ECM Tuning set based on the original order. The ONLY way to to access the v2 settings is the cable/OBD2 adapter from ECM Tuning (which you...
