I just did a timing belt change on my 96 TSIAWD and I was verifying base timing and I noticed it's off. I checked ground timing connector in ECMLinkv3, and used a timing timing light. ECMLink was reading 5deg but I was seeing the mark just off "T," or what i presume is around 2deg.I checked...

So the water pump went out on my 96 TSIAWD and I'm in the process of replacing it and all the timing components while I'm in there. Is it normal that my timing belt rides so far to one side of the cam gears? It's always been like this, and I'm not sure what, if anything, is wrong. Also notice...

I bought a couple of OEM lower suspension arms, and it looks like the bushing sticks out further on one side on both of the arms. Is this normal?

I'm getting ready to rebuild the front suspension in my '96 and i've run across a few complications.First, after researching, it seems the best quality/price option is to buy knuckle kits from Mitsubishi (MR325009/MR325010). These kits include the lower lateral, lower compression, and the...

While looking through ASA I noticed that automatic and manual 2gas use a different lower curved control arm. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Anyone have one of these available? Send me a message.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I appear to have found another source for OEM 1Gb cam sensors.Mitsubishi has discontinued MD184529, the cam sensor that came on 93-94 DSMs, and the Evolution III.It seems Cardone bought a run of these from Mitsubishi Electric, and is selling them as...

1). No boost, vac, or exhaust leaks. System holds up to 20psi before my tester begins to leak. Car is running stock boost.I didn't have a boost gauge on the car during this log, but I had it on the car within the last month or so to verify that it makes 9-10psi at full boost, but it does creep...

Fix one thing, another thing breaks....I've been noticing what appears to be white smoke coming from my tailpipe if I leave the '96 idling for a few minutes.White smoke would suggest coolant, but as far as I can tell it doesn't smell like anti-freeze, and since this is Florida and it's...

So I recently picked up ECMLink for my '96, and I noticed that the computer is only seeing 13.8v with the engine running at idle. I checked battery positive and negative with a multimeter and saw the same 13.8 volts that the computer is reporting.I checked for voltage between the positive pole...

With as popular as they once were in the community, I'm perplexed on why I'm having such a hard time finding an Evo3 exhaust manifold. If you have one laying around, I'd gladly take it off your hands. Send me a message.

I've seen a bunch of people worried that the day is fast approaching where DSMs will become unfixable. For those fretting the increasing parts nonavailability for these cars, watch this:In 10-15 years, we'll have affordable bespoke parts manufacture--you supply a CAD file, and they extrude a...

I'm been looking at my intercooler options for my '96 and I just don't like what I'd have to do to the car to make a front mount work. I don't like that I'd have to sacrifice the crash bumper and my fog lights, I don't like sacrificing serviceability by losing all the space between the turbo and...

Oh my god, I've never had something fight me this much. I'm trying to remove my rear lower control arm from my '96.Passenger side wasn't too bad, other than the idiot at Mitsubishi Engineering that decided putting the head of the bolt on the front end of the subframe was a great idea. Endless...

shinzon submitted a new DSM Profile :Completely Stock 2GbRead more about this vehicle here...

Well now you can. I stumbled on this treasure trove of information. These are scans of the original homologation documents submitted to the FIA for Mitsubishi's WRC cars. It includes specifications of the production car, and pictures/drawings and specs documenting the "evolutions" they made on...

Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing here?

Fresh off the boat from the United Kingdom, I have an EVOI,II,III ignition coil and bracket for use with an EVO3 intake manifold. If I'm not mistaken, this will work on a RVR intake as well. I bought this as part of a package deal for something else I needed, and I already have an EVOIII coil...

I recently purchased an EVO3 Intake manifold and have been looking at my options for 60mm throttle bodies. There is the venerable 1g turbo throttle body, but I'd prefer to go in a different direction.I've been studying the throttle body from an EVOIV RS. Everybody knows that with the EVOIV...

Some background: During the summer of 2015, after nearly a decade of daily driving, my '96 TSIAWD (stock with the exception of a 14b swap) developed a nasty exhaust leak so I parked it. It ran fine otherwise. Sometime in early 2016, I attempted to start the car, but realized the battery harness...

So I bought my '96 Talon eight years ago with a broken A/C, and with the recent wreck and probable total loss of my '97 daily driver DSM--just as oppressive Florida Summer begins, of course--I'm trying to diagnose and hopefully get the air in the '96 blowing cold again.Same Symptoms have...

Some idiot ran into the back of me yesterday; the guy fled the scene.The adjuster hasn't come out to see the car, but I'm betting this is totaled. It's drivable (drives perfectly, too, no pulling or anything like that), and the driver's door gap is still perfect, but with how bad the rear...

When doing a recent non-LSD to LSD rear differential swap, the chilton's manual said I needed to remove the ABS speed sensor from the HUB so I could get enough free-play to move the knuckle out of the way of the axle. What the manual didn't tell me, was that the speed sensors usually crack/break...

A couple of weeks ago I managed to procure a LSD rear differential from a 1995 Eagle Talon I ran across in a junk yard. Today I finally got around to attempting the swap.Everything went remarkably well until it came time to pop the axles back into the rear differential. No matter what I tried...

My Talon tends to run like shit (down on power, engine generally feeling tired) during the extreme heat of Florida summers and I was wondering if switching from a BPR6ES to BPR7ES during the summer would help the engine run better. Any other suggestions on what I can do to help combat the...

So, I grabbed a LSD rear end and axles from a 95 TSI AWD in the junkyard to replace the open differential rear in my Talon. In the process I slightly flattened out the threads on the outer end of the axle where the castle nut secures them to the hub and I was wondering what the thread size and...

Does anyone know the part number for those tiny bulbs which illuminate the dash switches (fog light, mirror adjustment, rear wiper, etc) on a 2g? I've searched through Mitsubishi ASA and I can't seem to find them listed. It would be somewhat obtuse if Mitsubishi expected us to buy a new switch...

Firstly, I would have posted this in a more appropriate forum, but it seems I can't post elsewhere even though I have been a member of dsmtuners for nearly a year.I was reading the vfaq page describing how the boost control solenoid functions and I noticed that the ECU was able to close the...
