    dropped spring retainer in head

    yeah........but no. catastrophic failure? Not happening. The odds of it getting stuck in the journals is 1,000,000 to 1. Try winning the lottery first.

    Shifter cable problem

    You can even make the 90's cables work, however its easier to use the ones out of the 91+.Even the 1.8 TEL's use the same cables.Hope this helps

    dropped spring retainer in head

    I've dropped worse down there and never had a problem. Do you think It will get sucked through the oil uptake screen or something?

    Pinging? Valve tap?

    KewlWinter, Thanks for your reply. I'm really lost on the whole oil pressure flow issue, the engine is together and running, what should I do. I have no way of knowing if the oil porting was done during the engine build, QPR Performance doesn't exist anymore.

    Pinging? Valve tap?

    Hey guys, I'm having something similiar to this.-Metallic pinging at idle from cylinder #1 -very loud. -Trips the knock sensor. -Seems to go away somewhat when I rev the engine. too loud to tell for sure. -Noise goes away completely when I unplug the plug wire:confused:4g64...

    try sending 12v down the signal wire, see what happens. Watch out, the car may jump if in gear.

    Question about pressure plate, hellllllppppp!!!!

    Ok, just remember to check the step height after all else fails. Also don't adjust the rod all the way out, it needs to be centered. Don't drive your car with the clutch pedal on the floor, it ruins the synchros.

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    It sounds like when you stuck a wrench down there to work on the alternator you shorted the fuse out. Do not service your alternator with the battery connected.There is a "ground" post on the alternator, make sure you haven't connected the positive to the wrong part of the alternator, that...

    Stock GSX, need input on my shopping list

    MBC: Hallman Pro RX - too expensive, build you own. Here's why: building your own boost controller will help you understand how the car works. If you are not able to build your own MBC, get a honda.Intake: FP AIP /w BOV Return Flange - OKAir Filter: K&N (/w MAF mount) - OKBOV: 1g...

    tranny swap AT to MT

    With the amount of work involved with swapping from AT to MT, I would highly recommend against doing this. Many of the DSM crowd actually are switching back to automatic because it can yield faster quarter mile times and helps spool big turbos. your car is rare and awesome, don't fix what...

    Question about pressure plate, hellllllppppp!!!!

    89-90 shifter cables, 89-90 in-cab shifter assy, 89-90 transmissions are compatible. 91-94 shifter cables, 91-94 in-cab shifter assy, 91-94 transmissions are compatible.if you take the time to compare and contrast the differences, you could probably figure out a way to shorten or lengthen...

    6 bolt non turbo swap

    Actually, don't do any of that, crankwalk isn't going to happen unless you mess up. even if you can just have a mechanic replace the bearings.Actually, the 2G head flows "better" for lower HP dsms, higher velocity equals better torque, the difference in intake ports only favors the 1G in...

    272/264 or 264/272

    Trying to improve the "midrange" of the 4G63 is very tricky, not many have accomplished this because of how small our engine displacement is.Look at it this way, the performance loss in the "midrange" of the 272 is offset by gains "higher up" 4k-9k (you are getting better springs right? if...

    7 bolt 98 99 engines

    272/264 or 264/272

    I don't know why you are avoiding just going 272/272. Have you had a bad experience in the past? Just because you may have heard of someone with idling issues with 272 cams doesnt mean that the cams are to blame.Just because some fool knows how to buy and install cams doesn't mean they know...

    what would happend if i dont put my colant lines to the TB???

    Some facts about the FIAVThe engineers at mitsubishi designed this system to extend the service life of the engine greatly. This is why we have 20+ year old 6-bolt engines that have never been rebuilt. The parts just haven't worn out.If you remove/modify the FIAV or the coolant lines...

    A sound I dont want to hear..

    An an secondary issue that you do run into is phantom knock, if it is loud enough for you to HEAR with your ears, then the knock sensor is (for sure)picking it up, and pulling timing.additionally, just because it quiets down enough to not hear over engine noise doesnt mean its not ticking...

    *rpms doing 100khm.*

    55mph=2500rpm in 5th. I don't know what that translates to in kph.I've driven a lot of imports and our cars are geared so that our engines have higher RPMs across the board to deal with the low compression and the turbo lag.The only time that your engine will rev "too high" is when the...

    Building another engine What do u Think?

    Ok, I dont want to sound rude, but this is gotta be said: a stock 6-bolt can hold upwards of 500HP with just cams and a big turbo.You may spend your money as you see fit. However if you want advice, ditch all these expensive engine mods and go with a formula that works. There are many...

    time for a motor

    The Hyundai engine differ in several different ways from the stock engine in the 2G. -Higher compression non-turbo pistons. -No oil squirters -Cylinder head intake runners are smaller then the 2G runnersI would not recommend using a non-turbo engine in your turbo car.

    1G maf sensor to 2g maf sensor

    Mazda RX7 Turbo uses 550cc injectors, Only two per car, get 4 of them and you will be set.I had RC550cc injectors and they worked great with the 2G mas, didn't need to go eeprom, just the stock turbo ECU.Add in 272 cams, a free flowing exhaust, a bigger turbo and a FMIC and that will be more...

    1g head and 2g head?

    Everybody, chill out, The 2G head is superior to the 1G head for about 85% of the powerband, -BUT- it doesn't matter because the 4g63 is the king of 4 cylinders, the difference is no greater then 10% and I have been in many 400AWHP+ 4G63 cars with 1G heads.Something to be interested in and to...

    the 97-99 was a little different, it wont work very well, however if you start getting fuel and spark after you swap it in, then you know you are on the right trail!

    TURBO and N/A block
