... less than that.LOL+1 to building on the stand in dropping in a fully built LONG block rather than putting it all in piece by piece. And while most machinist are nice guys, they're humans. Plastigauge is cheap. Always check a machinist works if you can.
I have a Greddy Turbo Timer and I bought the corresponding harness from extremepsi.com (part # TT-14-43). The instructions on the box are Japanese but it does say that part number is for teh 4g63 engine on the back of the box.I'm not quite sure how to install this harness. I know the two...
I have taken my VC off like 4 times now and had it back on. Now all of the sudden it wont seat on the last few centimeters. I know the ball is seated in the hole because the output shaft wont come out but I cannot figure out why it will not go down the last bit. Anyone ahve any ideas?*Edit*...
Nope. In my particular case it was just an 18 dollar shift rail from jack's and like 30 bucks in tranny fluid which I already had. Use the VFAQ for transmission rebuilds. It makes it very simple to open up, figure out what's what, and begin repairing versus shelling out some serious dough to...
Sounds very, very similar to my problem.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/362045-transmission-stuck-gear.htmlI had to tear my down and replace a broken shift rail. Good luck.
Yea, I ended up getting it. Everything took a bit of patience and trial and error. Shifts normally and kink-free. Everything on the tranny is in pretty good appearance wise. Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I'll have it in by tomorrow.LOL I was just re-reading this to double-check and...
So I got the new shift rail from Jack's transmission in today. I got it swapped out with the new one and am attempting to re-install the gear sets. When I put all the shift rails together and get the gears ready to set in their respective positions... the shiftrails won't align with the seats...
Okay, so I finally got this thing apart. I'm a completely new to the insides of transmission, but I'm rather certain this is a broken shift fork. I apologize for the bad pictures as this was taken on my cell phone... but it's pretty evident.Anyone know where I can get a plain' ol shift fork...
That's common. I see close to 90 psi, with no balance shafts and no oil galley porting. Just don't expect that autometer oil pressure gauge to last long.
96 AWD 7-bolt tranny. Was having some problems when driving the vehicle to my house with having to double-pump the clutch for any shift. This is because the clutch line has a leak somewhere.Anyway, on about a 35 mile ride home it would OCCASSIONALLY grind very softly... and i mean not even...
Indeed. It looks great. Get it on a bench and let us know how it came out.I used my "turtle method" or slow and steady when I did mine and spent almost 31 hours of porting for two weeks. Glossed up so well and got a lot of material out of the valve bowls and runners. I didn't, however, cut...
Fair enough. I learn things the hardway. Put a starter plate in that my buddy so conveniently had laying around and problem fixed.Starter Plates = Your friend.Thanks.
Fair enough, and that makes sense. However, a start plate is rather thin. Maybe a millimeter or two in thickness at most. Wouldn't I be able to offset that difference with shimming the starters with washers?And just to clarify, when shimming a starter, the washers are placed between the...
Try adjusting the the clutch pedal below the dash. If you look up under your dash and track the moving parts, you will see the adjustment rod. Loosen the nut and twist the rod towards the firewall (out of the assembly) a few threads at a time. 1 or 2 threads makes a significant adjustment. Good...
As the title says, the starter violently grinds against the flywheel when attempting to start. It will start, but it's such a painful sound that I don't liek doing it.My biggest problem is that this is my 2nd Flywheel to grind from Fidanza. I just swapped in my new Trans and when I did I put...
Yeaup. My driver side arm came out super easy. However, the passenger size was seized. I had to do the same thing. Sawzall and torch. Took forever but it's all good now. Thanks for the advice guys! I just went ahead and ordered all new through bolts and washers from Chrysler.
I just installed my ETS 1g Short Route IC. It's nice, but the intercooler itself is massive and only a small portion shows from the stock openings on the 1gb talon bumper. I was thinking of speed holes or maybe even trimming up the bumper face, but seems to be difficult and will take away from...
I'm chaning out the OEM camber kit to the DME Camber Kit for 1g's. The ball joints at the wheel hub are busted and I'd like to replace them. My local parts pusher doens't know if he can order it. Does anyone know where to get this from and how it needs to be removed/reinstalled??Thanks...
Well, I've always been competent enough to read instructions and install things. I installed my LC-1 wideband, including the switch, per the directions. I did my initial 20 seconds on with no gauge hooked up, but my LED didn't come on. I figured maybe it wasn't supposed to. Then I proceeded to...

Thanks for clearing that up. I am using different set of shifter cables in the car as my orignial ones got bent and broke during the removal from the GSX. I am using a pair I got from a friend that he swore were non-90 1g. How do you tell the difference between 1g and 2g shifter cables? Do you...
I'm really interested in this thread now too. You say that swapping from auto to manual moves the motor a different direction by 1/2 an inch? Is this true with a 92.5?The original motor/tranny was a 6/4 setup. I swapped in my 6/4 setup from my 93 TSi with it's manual transmission. Everything...
You still haven't told us if you have a catch can setup and/or how it is routed. Excessive crankcase pressure can cause these signs as well, and it's worth looking in to. It doesn't take but a few minutes to do.Also, another shot in the dark, but how good/new are your valve seals? Leaky...
If you really wanna figure out exactly which of these is the issues (feed or drain, or maybe both), install them one at a time. Then fire up the car, let it idle for a bit and go try a light boosted pull to see if it still smokes. If so, then install the other and try again. Hopefully one or the...
Read:This is an indication that the turbo is probably not being able to drain. jusmx141 is probably right that an inline restrictor could help, but if he has a oil feed kit for the head then that will provide less oil pressure and should clear up the smoke at idle.The blowing clouds of...
If that is an extremepsi.com kit than you have a 45 degree aluminum swivel head AN fitting. Just buy one more.EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - A-1 Performance 45 Degree Socketless Fitting: -10ANYou look as if you have enough tube to reuse with the two 45...
Try ordering another elbow like the one you have on the oil pan and making the line how it's picture up above. I gurantee that will remedy your problem. You have the exact same problem everyone I have ever known to have a kinked line. With the two swivel ends, you can elminate any sort of...
This is very true also, but if you read back he said that he originally had this issue with a 20g. He used an FP rebuild kit and it continued to have the same issue. Now, it could be possible that some inability to properly drain the oil from the turbo is also a the reason the first 20g...
Your return line looks a bit twisted. I bet that's impairing flow at least a little bit. This is the setup we made up on mine and crossed over to a buddy's car. We used two swivel elbows with a slight bend on each end to eliminate any possible kinking and this has worked everytime so far. This...
Completely different CHRA's with different needs for oil dissipation from the bearing. Don't quote me, but I think jusmx141 even has a thread about the differences in needs for the feed/return of turbos on our cars. What was working on those smaller MHI turbos probably wasn't sufficient for the...
Check your catch can setup if you use one. Just throwing a mini-filter on the side of the VC will not suffice and eventually clog up.I don't know how yours is setup, but I have an barbed fitting in the place of the original PCV on the back of the Valve Cover (I use a SMIM). I run this...
I run a G60 that uses the same Kinetic center section with a line from the oil filter housing with no restrictor and I've never had an issue with smoke. I also have eliminated the balance shafts without doing any port work to the oil relief valve and still no problems. In fact, the only problem...
Oil drain tube. Check it. Make sure there isn't the slightest deviation in it's straightness. I've got two friends who both encountered the same problem recently and assumed it was a blown seals. We checked the oil returns and they both had a slight kink. We replaced them with tubes that had no...
Pull a plug and check to see if you have spark or not. You can do this several ways. Easiest way would be to disconnect the power to your fuel pump and spin the CAS by hand. If you can't spin it by hand, crank the motor a few times. If you lay the wire with the connected plug down on the valve...
Just use the ARP Moly lube on the rod bolts/mains (if you installed ARP Mains) and torque to the settings. Don't fret so much. I think it's common whenever you're building your first motor. I must've taken mine apart at least 3 times and put it back together because I just wasn't confident. And...
Hey, I'm fortunate enough to have a friend hooking me up with a new wideband since he's been using my AEM for 7 months. I hear the LC-1 is the best for it's progammability and accurate logging with DSMlink. I want the one with the DB red face gauge, like stated in this thread... this is in fact...
The rods don't matter. I just put all mine facing the same way. What I mean by that, and I don't remember which it was, is if the Manley Logo is towards the tranny on one... do them all that way and vice versa. The pistons should be marked however with some sort of identifying mark and those...
I came across this thread because I typically trust and agree with a lot of the input that's thrown across this board (not all). Good stuff, good arguements, and usually points are proven. My friend has been using my AEM Wideband in his DSM while I've been deployed, and I have the option of...
One more question about valve guides...For those of you who have experience porting heads... is it okay to do so while the valve guides are removed? I see some of the pictures where they are still installed and get scrapped up... I'm sure that's not a big deal. I'm interested in creating...
Anyone ever see the episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy where he is demonstrating the effects of Lateral G's and for an example uses an AWD Talon's launch?That was the first time I enjoyed something about a car. Coincidentally, that single 15 second clip turned me on to Cars and DSM's...
How do you plan on combating all the extra heat radiation? Your basically throwing another DP up there with that exhaust re-routing for the second turbo. Not to mention you have another bare turbine shitting heat all over the place as well.I think this will work but keeping functional for the...
