I just reinstalled my Glowshift gauges after fixing the shotty wiring that the previous owner of my car had done. Yes, I know that this has been covered numerous times and yes, I searched. I have the 7 color boost and oil pressure gauges.
The ground is bolted to the chassis.
The 12v switched...

I lowered my car about a year ago and when I was doing it, I did it in a rush and never paid any attention to how low I dropped it. I only measured the distance between the top of each wheel and the fender and made sure that they were all equal or pretty close to it.
How can I measure how much...
I stripped out one of my oil pan bolts.( One that connects the pan to the block). What size tap should I use?(6 bolt)Also what is the torque setting for the transfer case bolts?also, I read this after I did the removal and installation but I was unaware that there are shorter bolts that go...
Does anyone know where I can find a -3an oil feed line from the filter housing. I have checked some of the vendors with no luck. I would really like to get one.
I just replaced my oil pan because I stripped one of the oil return line bolt holes.In the process of torquing the bolts, i yet again stripped another. Its the bolt directly under the timing belt but I dont think it will cause a big problem. Do you guys think it will cause a leak?(I used...
I have a pte 5027e that I am trying to make an oil return line for. I have tried ss and pushlock and it has just been frustration after frustration. They are either cut too short, too long or have huge kinks in the line. Does anyone have any suggestions?Any input would be greatly, greatly...
I am trying to fit up my -10an oil return line that I have from extreme psi. The an fittings and ss hose are already measured, cut and assembled. The problem that I am having is that I cannot find the flange that will bolt from the -10an fitting to the bottom of the pte 5027 jb turbo. I ordered...
The previous owner of my car never cut an fittings to size when he installed them. Is there a way to disassemble them and cut them to size?Also where can I buy an oil restrictor(not eBay) for a pte turbo?
Just installed a 50 trim with an external tial wastegate. At first, it wouldnt boost at all, turned out I put the boost controller on backwards. When I fixed that today, I can now only get 2-3lbs of boost at wot. I just pulled the turbo off and the external wastegate is not stuck.
I did do a...
When my old 14b blew oil I had alot of oil shooting through the turbo seals and into the o2 housing and downpipe. I know this because the flex section on my downpipe would get soaked in oil and start dripping after I ran the car for a few minutes? Do you guys think that there is a hole in the...
Finally got my car back together after installing a PTE 50 trim. Had to fix a few oil leaks but that is all tidied up now. I go to drive it and the car wont boost at all. The gauge goes to zero and then nothing after that. Im lost and dont have any idea of where to go from here.6 bolt block 2g...
I have a 6 bolt block and a 2g head. Which timing belt and tensioner should I get. Through th search, I found that there is just one belt now but I just wanted to verify.
I just finished installing my PTE 50 trim turbo. I had to dent the water pipe to enable the turbo to snugly fit. In doing so, I think that I unseated the O-Ring in the water pipe on the thermostat side as it is now leaking on that side when I put coolant in.
My question is if I have to remove...
I am just about finished my 50 trim install whenI have run into yet again another issue. I dented in the water pipe to fir the turbo and apparently in the process also broke the seal of the thermostat side of my water pipe. Is there any way to replace the water pipe without removing the turbo...
Just installed my 50 trim and am wondering how I should plug the old feed and return holes in the water pipe that are not being used now. I rerouted two of them back into each other and have a bolt size for one but I am having trouble figuring something out the the last one. See pics below.
I am installing a pte 50 trim and after researching about most people denting their water pipes, I am wondering if I should just purchase a nt water pipe. My question is if which water pipe I should use. I have a 98 gsx with a 6 bolt bottom end and a 2g head.which pipe should I use?
I have been searching for a comparison for the past few hours and have not come up with any results.

I am contemplating eliminating the above and the emissions but have a few questions before I do so. First and most importantly, other than for looks, what is the point of eliminating these. Will there be any change in performance or operation once they are eliminated or blocked off?

I am thinking about relocating the battery in my 2g to the trunk. I have searched many of the posts about it on this site but have been unable to come up with a solid list of parts of what I will need to relocate the battery. Can someone please give me a hand with assembling a list.
After, I sold my last 1g about two years ago I said that I would never buy another dsm ever...boy was I wrong.I found this gem on a random search on craigslist for a price that I couldnt say no to. I had always wanted a 2gb awd and had to have it. After checking it out, the compression was...
So while citting off the flapper for the old internal wastegate on my 16g, I got distracted and looked away from what I was cutting. If you look at the pics below, there is now a groove by the wastegate hole. Is this going to be a problem?

I have a 16g on my car and am installing a 38mm external wastegate tomorrow off of the o2 housing. I just need to know if I need weld the flapper open or closed. Im pretty sure open, just want to make sure. Or, would it be possible to just remove the whole internal setup from the turbo itself?
Can someone please help me with a link or a how to in order to adjust the wastegate on my turbo. The pos that the previous owner put on there isnt worked. The rod for the wastegate is basically falling out. When out tuning it today my friend and I were realizing that the wastegate wasnt working...
The previous owner put a tubular manifold on and in the process of either putting it on or removing it, he stripped one of the bolts badly. I am out of ideas to get it out. If you take a look at the attached picture i can only get an open end wrench on it because of the position on the manifold...

Will a 2g exhaust manifold directly bolt up to an MHI evo316g? I ask because the ebay crap tubular manifold that came on my car might have a crack in it.

As I explained on my other thread, I thought that I had sheared the bolts on the drivers side engine mount on my 2g. In actuality, the bolts werent in far enough and ripped out destroying some of the threads. Does anyone know the thread pattern to these? Im going to have to tap them.
So apparently, I sheared off the two engine mount bolts on the mount on the right side of the engine. I had another long thread trying to diagnose what was wrong with my car and tonight after taking a good look at things, I saw the bolts.This is definitely an easier fix than I thought it...
I have a 98 gsx and just got it back. Tonight while out driving it, I turned a corner and all of the sudden got this really bad grinding noise from under the car.
It happens at both idle and acceleration. I have a brand new act 2600 clutch kit installed and my buddy a fellow dsmer and mechanic...
I need to know what the visual differences between a 1g and a 2g head are. I have both sitting in my garage and after moving things around and cleaning, I forget which is which.
