    2G Recirculate but keep the sound?

    If you are still on MAF then i highly recommend you go back to recirculate to avoid the rich condition. Keep in mind the ecu has already calculated the amount of fuel to put in..If you vent to atmosphere , this will cause the car to run rich and stumble at times. You should be able to still get...

    Exhaust Leak?

    Take off the manifold and tighten two nuts on the stud if possible and start reversing , you will see the stud begin to unscrew from the head. I have had this happen to me. You can then replace with another stud, by using same method. They do sell kits to replace all as well, simlar to this...

    General Minimum timing advance on stock setup?

    You mentioned that you have a P0303 Misfire code for cylinder 3, have you sorted out that issue? Can you list the o2 sensor and spark plugs you bought as well? gap ? The misfire issue has to be fixed before you get into phantom knock or if the problem is from the knock sensor at all. Keep in...

    2G Coolant System Issue

    From what i recall, when you install the thermostat, the jiggle valve on top of it has to be at the 12'oclock position. Burp the system, coolant overflow line submerged in coolant in bottle, and test it out. It is possible your thermostat was opening too late. Hopefully the OE will help. Use...

    2G GSX rear end (help lsd or non)

    On 2g's from what i have seen, BFH is for M/T LSD diffs, BFB is for m/t non-lsd. If you do not have the sticker, you could compare the axles to a non lsd car for example. From what i recall the LSD axles are a bit shorter than non lsd, the cups are a bit different. This is only if you wan to...

    White and blueish smoke

    On a stock new motor per service manual with 8.5 compression max was listed at 178 psi, you can use a figure like that to estimate. Keep in mind this all fluctuates on health of motor and your rebuild. Compression testing usually shows better number once rings are seated after good break in. It...

    Check on the maf sensor for resistance value between pin 6 and 8 for 2.3-3.0 Kohms at 68 F Check tps at .63 volts and gradually throttle to 100% while logging motor off, and see if values rise to 5v.

    DO NOT feed turbos from the head location

    Regardless, that holset should not have been fed from the head. Feed it from the ofh with a specific restrictor( icant recall .070??) to limit max at 75ish as stated above^^ Most factory Mitsu turbos we have seen are fed from head, and not to mention ball bearing turbos with a slight restrictor...

    1g dsm DTC 11, 13, 14 Random

    Do you have speed density ? Code 11 for the 02 sensor could possibly be an issue with pin 4 on ecu that you spliced into to narrowband simulate. Code 13 for IAT is in the maf or the connector...not sure if you spliced in an iat snesor speed density. Code 14 for the TPS, is it reading 5 volts at...

    Alternator Woes

    If the battery light goes out once you start the car, does it eventually start flickering while your driving ? If the alternators are good(even though i have seen plenty bad off the shelf) then it is time to check the ecu. On 2gs there is a driver called Qxx(i cannot recall exactly), these can...

    Check for proper fluid level first to start. If you can drive around until the car is heated up to operating temp, then park it on level surface and leave motor running. Cycle the gear shifter from P down to 1 pausing for a sec on each and back up to Neutral and let it idle for a min. Pull...

    Lost an Alternator

    The 96 galant 90 amp will swap over for a 2g dsm since it has a 4 pin plug. 91-93 galant has 2 pin plug like 1g dsm to swap over plug and play. That would be nice if OP could find one, i cant get lucky around junkyards here to find that generation galant anymore :(

    ECMlink Running lean at idle

    Relax, im only wording it this way as he is tuning live while idling to get ltft and stft close to zero as possible.

    ECMlink Running lean at idle

    Global is actually affected by LTFT...if your ltft is in the +10% for example you want to take global closer to zero. The global might end up in the - 50s by the time your settled. Deadtime will be affected by STFT, adjust deadtime up or down until stft is close to zero. Watch LTFt at the same...

    No room!

    Once the wheel and the splash guard come off, you have more wiggle room from the bottom and the side. Loosen the Alternator tensioner bolt and bracket if you have to and this will get the belt off, it runs on alternator to outer water pump pulley and down to crank pulley. The power steering pump...

    What is your global set at ? Im suing this formula right now : Global = (100 * ( 450 / NewInjFlow ) ) - 100 = (100 * (450 / 1160) ) -100 = -61 Start with -61 global and 330 deadtime then adjust from there for low combined ft...27-.28 airflow per rev is to be...

    Thats gonna be up to you how soon you can get your parts before the 28th as you mentioned. If your going to be dyno tuned and you can get speed density installed in time, that would be great.

    Sputtering at high RPM's

    Boost leak test first. If you have actual misfires check for codes if you have a check engine light. Most misfires is see with peope having issues by using crappy platinum plugs and/or incorrect spark plug gap. Pull the plugs to check them and make sure you got NGK BPR6ES and gap the at .028"

    Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction

    The only time i have seen a 2g knock sensor in a 1g dsm is when using AEM ems standalone. Otherwise it will not work with a 1g ecu. The 2g sensor is more sensitive and linear than than the 1g sensor. The filters are different and the 2g sensor will not communicate properly with your 1g ecu, thus...

    Digital boost gauge

    Is the P port on the throttle body just open ? Plug it up or use it for a boost gauge source and just leave fpr straight to intake manifold if you want, ive done that. Check for for other boost leaks and if you are still at -5 at idle, it is probably junk like the guys are saying .
