I have a twin scroll set up with 20lb springs in 2 tial wastegates that are recirculating back into the exhaust controlled by a Hallman mbc. But I am building 30+ psi with the mbc back all the way out. Mbc was cleaned and checked, wastegates are authentic and new. Wastegates lines are ran...
I went through a touchless carwash, and while pulling out of the wash bay my car died. The car turns over normally and will even backfire and sputter if the gas pedal is to the floor. I am assuming it is something stupid; probably related to the fuse box relocated under the passenger fender...
From the inside, two bolts. Take the center console out and the driver side console side plastic. Should be able to pull it through from under the hood once it's loose.
I have extracted half a dozen of the broken turbo bolts/studs by hand, and by far the easiest method is to use a bridgeport. Whether it is finding a machine shop locally or knowing someone it has always been the eastiest way. I even broke a hardened bit while in the middle of extracting it by...
I have a 6 bolt bottom end, so finding a n/a pipe is doable, but I'm not taking it back off, I'll figure something out. The very worse case, hose and bolt with clamp.
I have done that, just doesn't look the cleanest, but just seeing if there was a plug out there or if people dab jb in the ends, which is also not great but if you can't see it.
I'm no longer running water to my turbo, and want to plug the two water line feeds on the turbo water pipe. Besides looping with a rubber line how are people plugging this.
I didn't do the swap, I bought it without a long block, axles, and drivetrain. I personally think of your shell is clean and you have modified it to your liking then an AWD is a great option. I was working with a rusty shell and came to the point where it was more cost efficient to swap the...
Yeah, I saw a lot of people getting steel plates and going 3" over the factory 2.5". Or people milling the factory flange off and starting with a match set of vbands.Does anyone know of a vender carrying quality 5 bolt flanges?
I am trying to use the factory 5 bolt holset exhaust plate from a 12cm^2 housing, but have not been able to find the correct vband style that would mate up to a custom down pipe for a correct seal.Searching I've come across answers using the terms "rolled" flange and "thick" style. Can anyone...
My set up is a 6 bolt bottom end with a 7 bolt head with a 1g black top cas. The ecu is a 95 Eprom ecu. I have the adapter harness that allows 2gb to run the 1g cas.I am wondering if there are any differences between years of the 2g engine harness because I need to buy a harness But unsure of...
That's a good idea! We ended up using a yard stick and laying it on the inner lip of the fenders while placing various heights of shims and pieces of tape to mark the height as the hood slopes closer to the bumper.It fits.
I am trying to find what is the overall thickness of a 16cm^2 exhaust housing is in order to get an idea of clearance I need to hang it off a custom manifold. I have a 12cm^2 internally gated housing and have it about 3/4" off the block and water pipe.Anyone care to measure a housing for me?
Out of curiosity I have been searching to find a concrete answer or example why turbos ca be ran in twin scroll on say a factory hx35 truck, but will not properly work on a dsm that ran same set up. What would boost control be like?I know nobody does it, I am just left wondering who has done...
Can anyone tell me where the black cable coming off the center hvac box connects to behind the center console? I have the other 3 white lines from the heater knows figured out, which all connect to the white plastic bracket.
Yeah, at this point I am going to have to plug my EPROM ECU in and check what logs and what doesn't.The PTU plug and PTU are there under the hood, and from reading the could would still get power but never fire if not plugged in, so I will just pull wires and check for an arc.Cooling fan...
Bought a turbo 2g roller, and I removed the dash to take care of some things I knew going into the project. This car had no power steering, no a/c, and a semi wire tuck; I noticed some wires that had been cut and no longer running back into the main harness.ECU pin #5 ISC motor coil (B1), Pins...
I have no problem running two slim fans or a single one if it could keep up. I mainly see higher temps, over 200°F, after a hard autox run. I just know the single taurus fan really cooled my 240sx. On high it brought temps below 175°.If you have any suggestions for a slim fan set up that...
Great info on the wiring with stock plugs, Thank you.Now I need to know how I should handle the amps that the new fan will draw. I have found that upon start up the fan will spike to 90 amps for a split second, and continuously draw around 33 amps. I see the stock radiator fan linkable fuse...
I recently switched to a larger radiator, and due to fitment I must hack up the factory shroud, or try to wire in another size fan. For now I would like to try to install one of those taurus fans many people do as a cheaper route.Only issue I have is understanding what needs to be changed on...
Switched over to speed density years ago and when I do run an intake pipe, I always zip-tie whatever to cover the old recirculation tube. Is there a clean solution to plug the tube with, like a giant vac plug? Show me what you got.
Kids were playing in the car and entered the wrong radio code, and now the radio will not unlock with the correct code. Is there anything I can do on my end, or do I need to call the dealer? This radio is no the original factory radio.
As a tip, when the engine is on the stand or out of the car, I like to crank it by hand 4 complete cycles like when checking timing marks, you would feel each compression cycle by hand. Removing spark plugs can let you focus on each cylinder. Works for me anyway for piece of mind.
Take the studs out, not just the nuts. My L19 studs on my 2g head/6 bolt block must come straight up when removing, and any slight angle makes it very hard to just lift off with the studs in the block.
Does it fall to the floor while accelerating from a stop, not WOT, but just 5 pounds of boost cruising?I know part store master cylinders can be hit or miss, so if you have a newer non-oem master, the seals could be junk on piston inside. My master cylinder leaked after a few thousand miles...
I would imagine most of the weight on the awd 2g is in the nose. And I do not have every suspension mod there is, but I would like to maximize my potential with what I have, and was wondering when you generally set up a dsm to handle better, how soft do you set the coilovers? And can you go too...
There was no classes that day, the miatas, prius, and caged vetts were all grouped together. That last sweep was always a stretch for the 2g turn radius, even busting a U-turn in a neighborhood intersection calls for a 3 point turn.I have no idea what class I would fall under if we were classed.
Stock cooler is in place behind my fmic. This coarse was VERY tight, I didn't even leave 1st, and was in higher rpms the whole time. I have never heard of the mr2 steering system on a dsm. I will go look into this more in depth to see what it is. But I think a cooler will be the best solution...
I am boiling power steering fluid, and loosing fluid while autox because the fluid is getting too hot. I run a fp manifold, so I was wondering what people are doing to block the heat. I was thinking of building a shield off the power steering pump mount and sticking isolation on the inside of...
There was a local club hosting a autox at the airport and I decided why not see what I could do. I hit lots of cones :sneaky: And dropped my times from 41 seconds to 37.35 clean. Best time was 36 DNF with 2 cones I moved the bases, and sometimes as long as it is in the chalk mark at all it is...
I called Tim Zimmer (twicks96) and he ordered the OEM mitsu rebuild kit, and had it shipped to my house. It was like 25 bucks and well worth it to not have a worry about a made in mexico parts store kit. the oem master rebuild kit comes with an o ring for the set screw, a new set screw, and a...
