It's hard to even get an intercooler to fit behind a 2GA bumper, let alone foglights. Unless you want to make an intercooler I wouldnt really bother.

Oh yeah, didnt see the thread tag, my bad. Yeah I wonder why the price difference? I hate how they do that, it's not like the 420 one has significantly more material or anything.

I run a Fluidampr and I dont see why you wouldnt get one, as cheap as they are. Especially if you're rebuilding an engine, why not just get an upgraded one?

Good to still see one that hasnt been ridden like the village bicycle. I've been on this forum for a long time, but it wasnt until around 09 that I actually got a DSM.

Like anything it just needs the proper maintenence. If you just keep in mind that it WILL consume oil and you need to keep a close eye on it, it's fine.

What about something like an RX8?

@nightracer91 would know. He has one in his car.

Did some more digging on this today. I tore that transmission 90% apart and found that the parking pawl works perfectly and is locking on fine. The slip is happening after that. What could possibly slip on the output side of the transmission?

Crazy, the second one I got came with bolts, third didnt. But I just used the second set on the third filter, no issues.

Yeah, and just make sure that you let it set up for 15-20 min before you bolt it back together. There's no way you'd ever find the proper gasket for it again. It's for that reason I'm kind of hesitant to take mine apart.

I used black RTV to put my blow off valve once, i had to take it apart with a hammer. If you want it to never leak again, I'd imagine that'd be the way to do it. Maybe go with grey RTV instead though, the black is super super strong.EDIT: I assume you're talking between the two halves of the...

Sounds like your TCU might be going bad. Also drop the pan and check your magnets to see if there's a bunch of material on them.

Does 2nd gear work ok?

I'd check your engine fuses (the one that has the two fuses tied together in the holder) Make sure those both look good. Also look at all the big ones to make sure none of them are obviously blown.

36psi is still too high, should be running around 32-34 tops

Yeah I'd agree on the power transistor, this has happened to me two times and that was the culprit both times.

In terms of atomization I actually spoke to some guys at FIC and he said the amount you'd gain is very little relative to how much more strain it puts on the fuel pump (and the extra fuel pump required to maintain double the pressure). Unless you're running a really balls to the wall track only...

I'd say either lifter or a rocker.

In case anyone was wondering, yes you can take an alternator out through the top. Also put on some new battery terminals, the old ones were shot in every way possible basically.

cardomain is like the friendster and this would be more of the facebook, if you catch my drift there.

Pretty sure the plate is different. I know that even the 2.4l and 2.0l plates are different so I cant imagine the FWD and AWD ones are the same.

The rear subframe/rear end/fuel tank would probably go into the GS/RS just fine. It's the reversed engine and lack of AWD transmission that really kills it. You might be able to get some kind of Evo transmission to work, but I have no idea why you'd do all that work instead of just getting a...

How would you control timing then? Or is the advance so low on the stock tune to begin with that it isnt a problem?

I'm gonna go with SVX or that isuzu thing that's similar

Thats awesome, ive never seen something like that before. Good stuff.

Have you considered a Borg Warner EFR? I'd think you could get one set up to spool super fast, and also lose a bunch of complexity since they can have an integrated BOV and wastegate too. Cleaning up the engine bay is always a plus when you're trying to troubleshoot.

An exhaust shop could fix that up for cheap. I had my O2 housing rewelded for 30 bucks.

Hmm in that case i'd look into maybe cutting a bit out of the turbo side of the intake to shift the MAF toward the turbo. You may need to get a different coupler though if you do that. I'd look into that because at least on my Injen intake like that the opening on the intake was sized for a...

Can you just rotate the entire intake forward a little bit? And get an adapter to put a smaller round filter on?

Switch the #2 and #4 wires to see if the problem follows the plug or stays at the injector.

Yeah I hear you there, I got a PCV waiting when I get home. We'll see what it does. If I can go back to the knock sensor just being a bastard again i'll be happy with that. I have a new one ready to go in anyways, just trying to cross off problems. Even if the stumble isnt caused by the...

I thought the questions meant the adjustment, which I dont have. Of course the mechanical timing is correct, I'm not sure who wouldnt check that 17 times when putting the timing belt on. I know we did.Oh and I forgot to put I have a GM MAF set for blowthrough, non recirc BOV. It was...

1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks? Tested to 20psi, only leaks when I wiggle the throttle shaft2). Verified mechanical timing? It's a 2g, doesnt have that 3). Verified base timing? It's fixed 4). Ignition system COP or Stock Coil: Stock coil Wire brand and Age: MSD Superconductor, very few...

no

Glad I have an auto :D

It was for this reason I chose to run the clearances a bit loose and just aim for higher oil pressure. Plenty of oil all the time and enough clearance for it to work.

Heres mine, I picked grey so I could see leaks easier

Well I got the TCU working decently (a hard kickdown on highway acceleration did put it in limp mode briefly but I was on a long trip and couldnt check the code). So it shifts automatically usually.When it was stuck in limp mode I put the car in 3rd at around 3000.

You can run the stock maf with an intake no problem usually. In your case i'd recommend something like an Evo MAF. The DSM MAF gets very choppy around low 300's HP wise. The Evo is pretty bulletproof

Man that's not good, I wouldnt run it. It looks like someone beat it with a hammer or something.

Did your pin assignments reset? Mine do that sometimes, not exactly sure why.

is the damage raised?

Is it sitting flush on the hub?

Ohhh you have a 1g, yeah that's overran with a 16g then. I didnt see a build thread and just assumed it was a 2G, which is good up to about a 20g depending on the setup. I'd go with an Evo MAF, you can get an adapter plug and it'll be good for most anything you'd throw at it. I'm not sure if...

Log injector duty cycle to make sure it isnt hitting 100% or something. A way to see if it's the MAF or not is to clamp it right before the point it's cutting off and see if the problem changes. You're just gonna need to watch the AFR like a hawk since the airflow will be static after the...
