    2G Water Leak in Trunk + Rust

    The white box is a vent, it helps give air in the car an escape when you shut your doors.You could seal around the body of the vent with some silicone but do not block the vent itself.Most trunk leaks on 2gs come from the drain tubes being blocked; you can see the tube in your last picture...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Registered it as Historic so I can finally quit dealing with emissions testing.

    How many of us use our DSMs as actual daily cars? Or how many own just a DSM?

    Daily drove my 99 until my daughter was born in 2012 and then it sat in the garage for several years collecting dust. Now that my kids are a little older I’ve gotten back into wrenching on it and am slowly working through the pile of parts I’ve had stored away for years and building it the way...

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Pulled fuel rail to replace injector seals, promptly dropped one of the spacers into the abyss. Good times.

    2G Emergency Brake problem

    Look at the diagram in post 6 again... The parking brake is integrated into the rear rotor. You definitely have parking brake shoes; you just can't see them unless you take off your rotor.

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    are you sure you have all the air out of the system? How long did you run the car to burp the system?Have you verified your new t-stat isn't junk ? You can remove it completely and run the car to see if the issue still occurs; if it doesn't overheat then your new t-stat is junk too...

    how do I test turbo?

    Not entirely true.While it is true a 16g is 'bolt on' in the sense it will bolt directly to the manifold; putting a 16g on a 2G requires additional items like a J pipe, new oil feed, bending of stock water lines; modification to oil return or a new oil return, various crush washers, etc...

    Looking for some more horses.

    With the SAFC leave your injectors as-is and just save up for ECMlink. With link the sky is the limit on injectors; it's generally recommended to go as big as you can afford.Depending on future goals i'd say 1250s at minimum since they'd allow you to grow into several turbo setups. If...

    Gauges and Pod Pillar for Spyder

    just get a 1/8 NPT barbed fitting for the back of the boost gauge and use some vacuum hose and call it a day. Way easier and cheaper than copper.
  15. EclipseTical

    Need help deciding injectors...

    That SAFC is going to limit you greatly since it can only control up to 50% of the stock size. The biggest you can go reliably would be roughly 650s.If your goal is to go with a big turbo in the future i'd recommend saving up for ECMLink and then buy the biggest injectors you can...

    megan racing 2g gsx exhaust issue

    He's right, you have that piece upside down. Flip it over and slip it through the hangers first and then bolt to the exhaust. I had the same issue when i did my install years ago.

    Advice needed on injector decision

    Kei and clipto already nailed it. If you're certain you're going to get link then forget about the 680s completely. Save up and then get the biggest injector you can afford; that way you won't have to upgrade the injectors again down the road.I personally went with 1050s back when i did...

    How much more valuable is a car for sale with a Dyno sheet?

    The plural of anecdote is not data.The potential buyer's comment you posted doesn't even mention a dyno sheet or video so while that does prove you've found at least 1 sucker willing to checkbook mechanic himself into a pre-modded car, it doesn't validate your claim that the dyno sheet...

    Fmic install

    The other Sean is right, the 2G crash bar is just plastic.If you have a FMIC your only option is to modify the crash bar or remove it completely so the effectiveness of a cut support is a bit of a moot point. Either way you're screwed if you have a front impact.It's really up to you...

    confused newbie rebuild

    hold up.. Your profile says you have an "95 Talon N/T (w/turbo)". Is this 95 talon you're asking about above a factory turbo model or is it a non-turbo?If it is originally a non-turbo with the 420a motor then you're in for a world of headaches trying to put a 4g63 in there.

    boost gauge hook up question

    this has been covered extensively.In the engine bay the vac line will attach to the T you put in the FPR line; then you'll need to route the vac line through your firewall into your cabin, and attach it to the back of your boost gauge.

    Car impounded until Monday...

    lol, OP isn't likely to get 'very good advice' on a car forum regardless of the veracity of his claim. I'd agree with the consensus that the story is definitely not passing the smell test. Also, most '1st offense' people are not already on active probation at the time their '1st offense'...

    Let me pick your brains... Electrical..

    Your turn signals will not work if the hazard switch is not plugged in. If your turn signals still do not work once you have gotten a hazard switch, then you can test out the signal stalk.

    Mysterious Turbo noise w/h video

    Actually a 2g oil return will fit; you just need to slot the holes on the turbo side of the line since the bolt holes are closer together on a 16g than on the t25. Takes maybe 1 minute to do with a carbide bit.

    Shifting to Neutral causing car to shut off

    Do yourself a favor and forget that bike pump. You're going to want to source a compressor or at the very least a portable air tank. A bike pump cannot output the volume of air needed for a BLT, you'll pump forever and just tire your arms out.

    stupid bov question

    Greddy's site does not list the Type-S because it is no longer in production.Also, do yourself a favor and look into ETS, VSRF, and Punishment FMIC kits rather than that overpriced, under-performing Greddy kit. You'll be much happier in the long run and all can be purchased with a variety...

    Modified Exhaust Ticket in NY

    Doubtful you'll get out of that ticket.That law is worded to mean that it is illegal for you to make any modification to your exhaust. How loud it is is irrelevant; if you have anything other than stock you can get that ticket. Generally officers will let exhausts go unless you are really...

    new dsm. no boost and white smoke.

    Your profile doesn't say, but do you have upgraded injectors? If not, you have DSMlink so i suggest getting the biggest injectors you can afford, especially if you are considering going to e85.12psi is going to feel dog slow since you're nowhere near that turbo's efficiency range.
