Hi,I've been digging though stale posts for hours now attempting to find an answer to my alternator question. Quite a few posts on this topic out there...I have a 2.4l (4g64) / 1g head built stroker in a 98 GSX that I am currently installing megasquirt on. I also have this shiny, new, and...
Looking for the left front (driver side) steering knuckle, must have ABSDon't need the bearing/spindle, just the hunk of iron that is the knuckleShoot a PM if you have one
My factory GSX driver cv axle doesn't bolt to the block. It will accept one bolt, but the other I had some shitty piece of bar stock hacked apart with a gas axe and stacked up with washers to make it work. Really embarrassing to look at, and not as rigid as it ought to be.Is there a...
I'm considering putting the clutch damper back on. I have a single plate 6 puck on my street driver, and it's a serious pain in the ass. Only concern I have is excessive heat build-up on the flywheel and PP surfaceI was looking for feedback from any other members with high powered DSMs if...
Is there any easier way to join the two compartments of the 2g AWD tank than welding in fittings for a cross over tube? I'm installing an unrestricted 3/8" line from the tank to the rail while still using an in-tank pump, and a dedicated return. The last owner mangled the supply tank cap...
Apparently, unicycling down the freeway earns you some shiny bracelets, a free ride, and gets your bike impounded. Under or over the speed limit doesn't matter.Anyone else got themselves in deep shyt recently?
Better than leaving gauges everywhere, I decided to consolidate. The main gauge displays odometer, speedo, oil temp, water temp, programmable shift light, fuel gauge (ironically very close to stock sender), and has indicator lights (brights, turn signal, oil pressure idiot light, CEL...
Before I toss it on Craigslist, got some DSM stuff for sale-Full Throttle MAF Translator Pro unit, updated works great. Speed density works without any headaches $300-Set of 4 Yokohama Advan A046s from an EVO, something like 75% tread left $450-Set of 4 Eagle Alloy wheels with...

Pomona, CA 91767You no longer have to drive to bum#### egypt Santa Monica on the parking lot that is the I-10 west to get fuel nowJust thought I'd drop it in here for other booze-powered car owners :thumb:
I just bought a house and made only two purchases since: One was a MS-II upgrade from diyautotune, and the other some new window blinds from blindsonline.com.I got a call last Friday from some company trying to sell something or other and offered free $40 gas vouchers for trying their...
I'm rebuilding my rear axle and having some trouble. I tore it apart again and am replacing the bearings since they're in pretty awful condition as the original owners didn't change the oil in their 8 years of ownership.After installing all new bearings, the pinion height and gear backlash...
Here's some pics of my finished cage. There's 14 points in the cab, and a 5 pt cross brace on the front towers. All of the important standoffs and plates are chromoly, the rest is steel. I haven't laid the glass for the roof yet, I'll be making a full tube suspension next.I haven't put...
Back in Jan, I bought a used (basically new, but used) truck for 13k since the truck market was in the hole. I was wondering if you can write off the sales tax? That's like $1200 I gave away the the rape artists on capitol hill.I checked around on Google and found this:Sales Tax...
I bought a set of Ksports from JNZ a year ago, and the car has moved a few hundred miles since then. The DSM is really an off-and-on project for now. However, I really should've inspected these before installing them.Last night I had a good buddy of mine, Dean from Honsport, dropped by my...
I wanted to share this cause I think it's amazing. I picked up a 1997 Spyder 4g64 for $2300 out the door. Never been in an accident physically and a clean title. It now has 311,800 (yes, 300+k) miles on it and does not burn or leak one drop of oil. I just drove it from Boston to Virginia...
I'm inspired, yes. I was looking for a GS to give a transplant. I found a '96 GS as a theft recovery I could've picked up for for $800, with only stupid things missing. I'm waiting for a 97-99 to show up just for the body style.I'm planning on doing the GSX conversion. I think I found...
I just had my motor built. I put everything in and left the fuel pump disconnected and spark plugs out so i could build some oil pressure but i get this wierd sound coming from the starter. it spins the motor just fine and there seems to be no resistance at all. instead of going "ee-ee-ee-ee...
I have a set of 350cc injectors 3ohm going into my mitsubishi v6, replacing my 210cc 13ohm set. My question is since these are lower impedence injectors, they will draw more current at 12.whatever volts. How will this affect operation? I was thinking about running in-line resistors to bring...
Any of you know a good place to buy spoilers (that aren't marked up 1,000%)I'm looking for a short aluminum or carbon fiber wing for my car that is fully functional and adjustable.
Running into install problem with my SAFC. You guys are probably the people to ask.I'm installing a 60-1 T3/T4 next week (as soon as intercooler comes) on my 3g v6, but i'm trying to get this afc on and it's a bi***. I've ran all the wires except the airflow input and output. I looked at...
As we know, there are two AEM EMS' for the DSM. I have a question on what would differentiate them. Is the EMS changed only for the 1g and 2g MAS and CAS? Since the ECU is a standalone, it wouldn't matter if the protocol being used is EEPROM or OBDII? What if you had a 2g with a six-bolt...
To take advantage of a larger turbo with more top end pull, wouldn't it be optimal to decrease the differential gearing to stay in the powerband longer? Let's say your turbo fully spools at 3300 RPM and the top speed of your 3rd gear is 85 mph. With lower gearing, your top speed in that gear...
On mitsubishi turbos, are the bolt patterns the same? Are the 9b, 14b, 16g 18g 20g interchangable in that sense? Say you had a 3kGT (for example) and outgrew the 9b's, could you bolt two big 16g's on in their place for more flow?
I'm planning on painting my eclipse sometime because clearcoat paint absolutely blows and fades, so I'd like to know if Mitsubishi GTO Milano red is a clearcoat or two-stage paint? Anyone know of any equivalant paints (something like corvette torch or magnetic red?)
Every time i step on the clutch I get a "creeeeek" noise like a rusty hinge. I checked clutch fluid, it's fine but my clutch engage point gets "vague" and that god damn noise won't stopany suggestions?
I searched and nothing came up. I want to make sure since I'm trading my Eclipse in and might possibly lean for an eagle just to save cash and have an excuse for a body kit.Is the DSM eclipse GSX the same as the eagle Tsi AWD? Is it really only the body pannels that is the difference? Are...
I read in my auto book in class the chapter on forced induction. The interesting part was when they skimmed over the piston rings. They insinuated that you need piston rings with a smaller clearance between the piston and block walls for the increased cylinder pressure. Or do I have it...
Every DSM i've driven doesn't feel like it pulls. Even at full boost and foot on the floor a gsx doesn't "pull" like a 6g72 or any higher displacement, torquier engine. that kind of blows, especially on the highway or passing in high geardo these things always have to be wound up (for lack...
I don't wanna beat a dead horse but...I went to the mitsubishi dealer to pick up some sterling silver touchup paint and started to paint my car right in front of the service center :p when one of the techs walked up and recognized me from last time when he drilled my headlights (another one...
Is it just me, or does anyone else find metric really annoying? I'm looking at aftermarket gages and they read in foreign crap.
My exhaust manifold would melt to slag before i knew how the fuçk hot "3000ºC" meantBar? Kpa boost? god only knows why you would want to measure between 0-2 bar...
Went to the dealer and drove around what would've been my clean red GSX. After almost getting a speeding ticket and running into the curb (i've never driven an AWD car before. god damn it grips) we arrived back at the dealer. I filled out the credit report and and said I want to trade in my 01...
I've decided on trading my 2001 GT in for a GSX. I also found a nice clean one I'm comtemplating buying, but unfortunately it's a ....barf automatic transmission. I can't stand that #@%#@%#@%#@%. slow, slipping takeoffs and dying transmissions. If I do buy it, would a 5spd just pop right on...
