Wow, Some great things have happened since I have been gone... :)Now, If I had not picked up a new motor for the Laser and a entire suspension upgrade for my Mazda2, I would be buying these right now!Well at least I know what I need to save up for next.... awesome thread!

Thanks for the info, I for one am always looking for new suspension solutions, especially high quality damper alternatives... :thumb: I tried to follow the link though but it did not work.

Hello, Welcome...there are quite a few active members around the Albuquerque area, check out the local board there are members from all across the state and into southern Colorado:Albuquerque DSM Club :: IndexI think most of the members there are on DSMTuners as well. See you around...

I did not find your answer here but just in case you needed the VFQ Link: Visual Frequently Answered Questions - Home PageI did find this write up with a lot of info, unfortunately, I think it confirms what you thought and that it may not be possible...

Okay, I am slightly confused about your situation so I wanted to clarify.... Are you swapping a 2G (7bolt) motor into your 1G? I am asking because you said it was a 6 bolt motor which would not have been the original motor for the 2g. If you do not know already how to tell the difference: How...

Well, there could be several things that cause this, the simplest it that maybe something happened during the head removal/re-install like maybe an oil port is blocked, could the head gasket be on incorrectly and blocking the port? Maybe something got into a port during the swap?It does...

Welll, really it depends on which logger you have… there are several that are commonly used on the DSM’s that use a Palm. The links below should get you started:http://mmcdlogger.sourceforge.net/TMO Datalogger 101digital tuning, inc.I would assume it is a MMCD so the first...

Yes, I would be interested also. I have been looking to replace my Koni / Eibach Combo in the near future but I have not really been impressed by some of the current off-the-shelf solutions. This would be a very attractive option. :thumb:

Well, I have never pulled just motor myself, I have usually pulled them both at the same time… I would wonder if there would be enough room to move the motor forward enough to clear the input shaft of the transmission?I know that pulling the axles is a pain, but if you disconnect...

Well, I know that this thread is old, but I am bringing it back since I found it while searching before installing my new LC-1 WB and gauge with my DSMLink v3 lite and I just wanted to make sure the thread had the answerI ended up using the brown wire (analog 2 out) to both the gauge and to...

I have the ST Bars front and rear… They clear my 3” exhaust with no problems.In the back there is really no issue since the bars are mounted so far up:In the front there could be an issue depending on how your downpipe/turbo mounting are set up.Mine is a E316G/2G manifold...

I agree that this is a likely candidate for the belt getting chewed up, I also made this mistake by having the pully installed wrong when putting in the new motor…:ohdamn:When looking at it afterward, I could see that the pullies were misaligned with the Harmonic balancer which is what...

Before you give up on the Koni's, I dug around a bit and found this link... I bought mine from modacar.com awhile back and it looks like they may have some in stock still:Koni Sport Yellow Shocks 1990-94 Mitsubishi EclipseCheck it out… :thumb:

Since you have already checked the most obvious things, you might want to try checking out the Inner Axle Shaft bearing for wear or slop, You can easily check the joint/bearing just by pulling and pushing on the inner axle from under the car. If you feel excessive movement I would look into...

I see you have ECMLink v3lite, here is a link that should help you out. Lots of good information (although I did not see the Glowshift wideband specifically supported.)installnewsensor [ECMTuning - wiki]Hope that helps!

As others have already said and you are suspecting, this seems to be a issue with loosing pressure since you have to pump it up before it actually gets pressure to build.The Master and slave cylinders do not need to leak externally to stop working, the seals on the inside can leak and not...

It looks like the plug is near the firewall on the Drivers side of the engine bay… the Diagnostic plugs are more to the left side of the engine bay closer to the battery… it may be a A/C compressor plug? if I remember right there is one that looks like that. Hope that helps...

Interesting, my search came up with the following definition:DTC P1106: Range/Performance Problem in BARO Sensor CircuitP1106 Barometric pressure circuit problemBut text in your post seems to indicate a Fuel Pressure problem. Not sure why this is differentWhat is the problem...

Nice video! I particularly like you chasing down the Porsche… the Daytona’s sounded great also. Nice driving and way to represent the DSM cause. :thumb:

Yes, Shift linkage adjustment and shifter condition can definitely cause issues. I was having transmission grinding issues and after adjusting the Shifter and cables, it was a drastic improvement. Here are some links from the VFAQ that I used to help me do the work: Shifter Adjustment...

I have not had any trouble taking off the crank sprocket the times that I have done this work, usually after removing the bolt, the sprocket will just come off although sometimes it takes a little working it side to side to get it looseBut if I did have a problem getting it off, I would...

Any kind of clear tubing that is oil impervious will work. I am sure you can pick some up at Home Base/Lowes, it is not a specialty item.

This is the link I used to clean up my engine bay vac hoses. I pulled everything out except for the purge evap solenoid, which I left connected (later it will run my cyclone intake control) I did add the a long hose from the gas tank vent line that I ran out the passengers side wheel well to...

Sounds like you are missing at least one of the guide pins that help keep the Tranny from rotating on the Block. This will put too much pressure on the bolts since they are not designed to hold with a lateral load like that.I would look into replacing these before doing many more bolt...

From what I can tell from the schematics, both of the Power wires (Red) appear tied to the same source (MPI control unit) further back in the harness, so they should be interchangeable.Just to be sure, I would test resistance with a meter between the two lead with the battery disconnected...

Well, there many options and opinions on this as you will see, in the DSM world, one of the standards is the ACT clutch. I personally have an ACT 2600 with a full face disc and sprung hub used with and RRE lightened flywheel. I really like this combo, I use the car mostly for autocross and a...

No ABS...Okay, I have the problem fixed! :) But it was still a strange symptom to have.Looking at the car this evening, I was able to duplicate the symptoms repeatedly:1) Jack up the front of the car (both wheels) 2) Roll either wheels normally 3) Start the engine in neutral...

Okay, well I figured it out… almostAfter having a little more time this afternoon to look at the car, I have figured out that it is not the Trans or Differentials at all, I am very relieved, although still a little unclear on the reason for what it IS doing… :confused:I had the car...

Transfer Case is my original one, it was working fine before the Motor/Tranny swap, it just sat the trunk of the car while I was gathering the parts I needed… I just topped off the fluid when I re-installed it.I don’t really know the source of the transmission, it was supposed to be a set...

This is actually my first technical question here on the board; I hope you all can help me out.I searched around, but I could not find anything… I remember reading something about a similar problem awhile back but I could not find it againHere is the history:Okay, I just got my...

Well, I can recommend the Pro-kits… I have never tried the H&R springs though so I have no comparison.I have run the Pro-kits on my car for a full season (autocross) with the Koni Yellow dampers and I have never had an problem with ride quality…I drive the car to and from all the events...

Sorry, that pic is not showing up... do you have another link?

Here is what I found in FSM, sounds pretty straight forward, but I have not tried it myself:REMOVAL SERVICE POINT A - STEERING LOCK CYLINDER REMOVAL(1) Insert the key in the steering lock cylinder and turn it to the “ACC” position.(2) Using a cross-tip (+) screwdriver (small)...

Smoking from the engine bay is also always and oil leak onto the exhaust….In this case probably the Exhaust Manifold or downpipe. Since you just replaced the VC gasket, that is where I would look first, I have had a new VC gasket leak before, had to pull the cover off and reseat the gasket, I...

I had a similar issue with my GTI awhile back…oil was coming out of the back between the head and the block right after starting it up for the first time, I could not see any gap visually…turns out the head was hanging up VERY slightly on one of the dowel pins. I had to pull it back off and then...

Most likely it is just an adjustment of the belt to get the correct tension, but if that is not working and you still have the squeaking….one other thing to think about is the possibility that there is some contaminant is on the belt, coolant, oil or PS fluid… maybe check around for a minor...

Yes, the trailing arms are part of the hub assembly, this is probably part of why no one has made and aftermarket version, the only upgrades available for this part are Poly bushing or a Heim joint (both will improve toe change thru wheel travel – bump steer).As for the cracked unit, you...

There are pics in this link that may help you out, if not, let me know and I can try to get you something else. :thumb:Clutch Adjustment

Yes, the Output shaft on the Transmission can be swapped, it is a fairly simple process… I used the link below to figure it out:Tranny RebuildBasically use the first 3 steps of this procedure then just slide the output shaft carefully out the front. Insert the new shaft and reverse the...

If the engine rpm's go up without the car accelerating it may be that your clutch is slipping, if this is the case, you should start to smell a burning smell from the engine bay when the problem happens.The whistling sound may be a vac leak on the intake somewhere

Hmmm, sounds like a fun problem to chase down :hmm:... but if you are suspecting the wheel bearing, a quick test would be to just grab the tire from the top with both hands and pull and push hard back and forth, that will show if there is any bearing play... Another question is have you checked...

Great driving, nice to pull in that fastest time on the last run! I love that last pic... your car looks a little like the wolf that snuck in with the sheep :)

One of the first things to think about before buying anything is deciding what you would like to do with the car…what direction would you like to go with it. It sounds like you are not leaning toward drag racing or you would not have posted here...;)Of course the very first thing you...

The Fuel level signal is usually a just a variable resistor that changes resistance depending on the amount of fuel in the tank.In the case of the DSM the resistance is lowest when the fuel tank is full and highest when tank is empty. There are two wires; one side of the stock wiring goes...

It looks like you have the mounting bolt out already, from the service manual, that is all that holds the sensor to the Hub… except of course for the years of rust and grime! :) If it is really stuck, I would try spraying the sensor mount with some lubricant (WD-40 ect..) then after letting it...
