I'm doing a number of rebuild items and realized that Mitsu part numbers show up with other part numbers stamped right on them.For example, the rear differential side bearings ordered from Mitsubishi as MN168441 currently at ~$40 comes in a box with the Mitsu part number, but stamped NSK...

I purchased a 1g DSS 3.5 aluminum driveshaft and when it arrived, I decided to mock up the connection as I was documenting the build. I quickly found that the 4-bolt to 6-bolt conversion plate was oriented with one point of the 6-bolt star shape at 90 degrees to the yoke arm for that side.The...

What could be factory tapped on the TPS sensor wire near the ECU?I've been rewiring much of my engine bay all the way back to the ECU (refreshing 25+ year old wires, multiple relays/MPI replacement, dedicating power sources & grounds, individual wire looms, etc).I've found an issue with the...

There were a couple threads on putting Evo X hubs on a 1g, but I couldn't find a lot of info on doing so. I picked up a couple hubs and now I'm looking for all the things that need to be solved.First the reasons: update suspension with hubs using different geometry, bolt-in bearings, more...

Note: I wrote to TMZ to get their input on some of this and I wanted to get some feedback here as well.I picked up a SBC DSM SSX-TZ/B kit from TMZ about a year ago. I loved it for all of about 8 months or so and have had engagement issues ever since. This was with some pretty hard driving in...

Just moved to Gladstone and looking for any activity in the Portland area. I'm hoping to be able to hit PIR next month when things settle down but I'd like to meet some fellow petrol heads before then. Track time with a group is always more fun.I went to the cars and coffee near the...

This thread is intended for questions about Jackal/Werewolf. Due to recent incidents with ds-map.net, we will be addressing concerns here for a period. I can answer or direct your questions to others who can.

A guy on a local forum took some amazing pics out at Oregon Trail '09. Mostly Evo's and Suby's, but there's a DSM night photo as well. You can see the brakes heat up and give a nice glow with the DSM throwing sparks on a hard brake. Oregon Trail 09 pics - Jefferson State MotorsportsThe DSM...

I'm starting a build this week and I need some clarification. Of all the searches I've done there are no definite responses to the difference between 1g 6-bolt and 7-bolt rods.Can anyone provide some good references? What is the power handling and are there differences in ordering pistons...

As the title states: do the subframe bushings need to be pressed out?I'm in the process of replacing all of my front end bushings with ES poly's and I'll be sending some parts to my shop to have all the pieces pressed that need it. While the control arm and engine mounts were at the shop I...

I just ordered a set of the K-Sport Kontrol Pro coilovers for my 1G AWD.I'm somewhat of a newbie on the various settings available on these and I'm looking for someone who has them set with something similar to what I'm looking for. In other words, where should I start for settings? Are...

I've had an oil leak for some time, but it's not where I expected it from. I thought it was from a small gap in the oil return passage along the head gasket, as the oil appeared on the gasket overlap by the front passenger side of the head.It turns out that it was from the oil feed line, so...

I just bought another one. Yep. I'm addicted. ROFL I bought a TT off of a guy who decided to get out of the DSM world and still had his '91 GSX sitting around. It turns out his half as many miles on the tach as mine and the engine was rebuilt recently by a pro shop. Unfortunately it's an...

I'm looking to switch to electric power steering and electric water pump this winter.BACKGROUND: I had a fellow autocross club member and autocross/formula-1/everything-racer veteran (including sled dogs!) and mentor show me his new build a few months ago. He has a boosted RX-7...

EDIT: Title should end (Maybe not 950's)I bought some injectors advertised as FIC 950's some time ago. I have tried multiple times to get them into my vehicle with no luck. I program my own ECU, so getting the dead times and pulse width adjustment is no problem (if they are the correct...

I just wanted to verify that if I replace the valves that I'll need a 3-angle valve job.I'm having the head resurfaced and guides replaced, but the valves look like total crap (200k carbon build up that doesn't let them seal and slightly worn stems). The valve job is an extra $500-$700...

Does anyone know the composition of the oil pan?I have a few cracks and instead of buying a new one, I figure I'll weld this one. Is it aluminum or a steel composite?

I just went to my first autocross session this past weekend and I'm looking for advice on a couple little things for a 1g gsx.I had a good deal of trouble keeping the tail end hooked and I was sliding sideways a fair amount while accelerating out of and through turns. I was able to keep it...

I finished last in my class. As a matter of fact, I finished just about last across the board.I had a slight oil leak that had been bothering me for some time and spent three hours on Friday removing the transfer case and exhaust to make sure it was secure. I changed the gear oil while I was...

Well after getting my car back on the road I found there are several things that are quite a bit different from before.With the balance shaft removal, the engine rotates completely differently from before. There is a much faster reaction time during acceleration, although it also takes much...

I'm about to attend the first major meeting for the Conde Creek Rd. Hill Climb event. The SSCC will be putting on this event and I will be working with them for the majority of the project, including the actual event.I hope to see some of the Southern Oregon guys there!

Alright, as many know of my run-in with Jiffy Lube, I will soon have my vehicle back on the road after over a month.TheDSMGraveyard was not quite what I had hoped for in terms of ensuring a simple swap. I ordered the head and block assembly separate so that I wouldn't have to pay as much for...

The SSCC is having their first session of the '08 season for the Rogue Challenge Series. This first event is the Spring Enduro, going April 4-6. If you're near Medford, Oregon why not come on down - it's at the Jackson County Sports Park about 10-15 min East of I-5.Siskiyou Sports Car Club...

So what's the number one way to catch a kid who tries to be a criminal? Wait for him to brag. And when it's on the internet, you don't even need to be in the area, just do a search.I got an email this morning that looked like it was run by a script from Eclipse Forum (I didn't even really...

As a math and business major, my final project involves starting a business. I've been researching the possibility of creating a Rally Track and School. :rocks:Some of the bottom line research is fairly easy and I can figure out costs for doing business, but it's the other end, the level of...

I've removed the head and pistons and done a visual inspection of all the components. I would like to know what I'm looking for in terms of possible damage and what is normal. I also want to know what to take to the machine shop and what to ask.What items in the block and head are good...

Alright, forgive me on this but it's the first time I'm braving the internals.I'm doing a mostly stock rebuild after Jiffy Lube F'd my engine (still working on getting that money). I've compiled an entire list from ExtremePSI but have yet to purchase it. I'm unsure about piston and ring...

On Saturday I stopped off at Jiffy Lube to have them change my oil. I had all the necessary items to do it myself, but not the time. On Monday while driving to school my oil light came on, my engine gave a shudder and I took it out of gear and pulled over and shut off the engine as quickly as...

My oil return line blew out today. I guess it was all corroded and it finally decided to heave all over the engine bay today. Now I'm stuck 50 miles from home and all the parts stores nearby are closed.As soon as the turbo kicks in it sprays oil EVERYWHERE... at least it's on the...

Hey, looking for some info on the relays for a 1g ABS system. My pump was doing that common whirr thing and not shutting off after the car had.I pulled the battery terminal before I went to work, as I was already late and could see my power being out by the time I got back.While at...

I was wondering if anyone else in cold-weather areas have had to retorque various fittings.Notably the oil return line for the turbo has pretty much lost its seal over the past couple months and now it sprays a good bit of oil on the highway. I checked the bolts and they could nearly be...

Fuel trims have been reading at 82% for some time, but I think it is a failing O2 sensor. I recently installed a WBO2 to completely track the problem. I noticed that once the throttle reaches about 55% the Wideband goes to straight rich (10:1 maxed on display).According to MMCd the tps...

Hey, so I've been filling up my xmas list and noticed a shop called God Speed Project. I was looking at some of their stuff and asked some questions and they said they did a lot of their own work. Has anyone else heard of these guys and know if they know what they're doing?They are...

Looking for a place that will do some solder work.I've been searching in Southern Oregon for someplace to get my EPROM socketed, but I'm at a loss. I have not been able to find a place that will do it, electronic shop or otherwise, even when I haven't told them what it was on.I would...

After performing some maintenance I took my '94 GSX out for a test run. The car idles, accelerates, and handles great, but during coasting, it surges between 1.2k and 2k. The surge subsides at a complete stop and shows no sign while in gear.Things I did that could affect this: Fuel...

How do you get the B-column cover off of a '94 Mitsu?!?!I recently ripped out my headliner to replace that usual dull brownish-gray material that sags down makes me want to gag each time I notice it. I pulled the A frame covers off real easy, took off the all the little plugs and visors...

I'm replacing my 14b with another used, as the exhaust/turbine housing is cracked.While perusing the net, I noticed that Turbochargers.com offers compressor wheels and turbine housings for reasonable prices... *ding* (light bulb)...

I was talking to this guy from work who just bought a '93 2.0 n/a. He said he wasn't getting any spark and he thinks it's the something with the distributor. Eh? Did you say distributor?He said he took it apart and it had a little disc with holes in it and this piece seemed to have...

I recently read an article from a guy that has a '97 gsx stating that he switched his cams for the stock 6-bolt from a '92 to increase performance. I was wondering if there is any validity to this or if it's just some sort of myth/big talk. He also stated that regrinds are just as good as...

I have been working on updating/upgrading my entire a/f system from intake to fuel delivery. I have been using a pockerlogger (MMCd) for a few weeks to become comfortable with the stock readings before switching out the parts - I want to know when something looks/reads different.I could use...

Would a MD309947 EPROM from a '95 work in a '94? If it doesn't work stock will it with a different chip?I've heard the FWD or AWD doesn't matter, but someone's trying to tell me that this will work in a 1G as a direct plug 'n play, no mods necessary. They pulled it from a '95 and I'm a...

Any suggestions on finding an eprom setup for a 1G?I've been thinking of taking my ECU down to an electronics repair shop and having them soldering up a socket. Working on a tight budget, so each bit helps. Which chips/sockets are suggested? (Currently looking at http://www.moates.net...

After trying various methods to cool the under-hood temps, I've created a decent plan. I am adjusting the way air flows by cutting into the hood with screened vents and rigging up a VERY low profile scoop (I hate the way most look) and switching to an all water cooling system.The aluminum...

I recently got my hands on a pocketlogger and I'm still getting the hang of this, but my knock reading jumps to around 40 at start off. At 10g boost, the most it reads is 5.On the pocketlogger playback, it lasts for about 3 seconds, decreasing about 5, then drops all the way to 0. RPMs are...
