I have a bitchin' cyclone manifold and I needed the torque specs for putting it back together after getting new gaskets for it. Found and translated these factory diagrams. NOTE that Torque values on the page are in kg/m. Converter here.Additional diagrams can be found here.I found these...

I'm looking for elusive Talon Spoiler center nut screws and I am wondering if anyone has found a possible alternative to using them.

Going to go with AO customs for the Cyclone gaskets as well as a few others as well. Link is in the comments below.Part of my build involves the mythical VR4 Cyclone Intake manifold, which it being 30 years old, could use new gaskets; especially when my 20g is going to be pushing 25psi through...

Big thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread and helped solve the issue of why it was hitting the cover when properly installed.EDITED FOR CLARITY:I installed my ATI hub and damper with the provided hardware in addition to the BS spacer and metal crank plate, but it was hitting...

How come we don't have a Discord server set up yet? Are there any DSM servers out there anyone knows of?

I'm finally getting my engine put together, but I have encountered that the oil pan is hitting my Arp main stud nuts on the rear of the engine which is causing the oil pan not to sit flush with the block. Now, before I take the air hammer to it. Should I dent the pan or should I bore the oil pan...

I have a Laser hatch without any holes to secure my 91 Talon center wing, I swapped it with a buddy a long time ago for the Batmobile look, but I want to go OEM+ this time around. How should I go about securing the center wing without drilling through the wing itself?

I have a Laser hatch that has no holes for the center wing. Looking for precise measurements of the spacing for the holes. Just need the marked ones, the rest can be extrapolated since they're spaced equally top to bottom. Hoping someone can help out.

Okay so I'm in need of a replacement one because mine is in sh*t condition, it's a 6 bolt so it's impossible to find new replacements. HOWEVER, the One listed on STMs site as the AWD 7 bolt cover looks identical to the one i currently have.Can someone post the distance center to center of the...

I know its a stretch, but if anyone still has a visible one, please post up a close up of the bar code label on the top of the bellhousing. Bonus points if you include dimensions! I want to make a replica of it as close to OEM as possible.

I wanted to post up on my experience with redlinegoods.com and their custom shift and ebrake handle boots. I ordered a faux Alcantara black/black and I was astonished not only by the quality, but the fitment was perfect!! If you are looking for a high quality custom touch, these are 100% the...

As a part of my ongoing Writeup for installing a PTT clutch on a 1g 6bolt AWD, I have run into a bit of a bump and am suspecting that the hole spacing of a 1g and 2g slave cylinder are different based on the information and pictures I have.The 1g slave cylinder bolt hole spacing is 49mm.If...

I bought new moog lower ball joints, the old ones had a heck of a time coming out, but these slipped right in but wiggle and spin freely even with the snap ring holding it in. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is this normal?EDIT: Based on what I and many others have experienced, do not use...

I bought both the Kiggly pressure regulator and an English Racing oil pump sprocket. Was going to combo this but I'm not set using the sprocket at the moment.Thoughts?

MODS: you can delete this thread. Turns out the bearings I got had 3 oil holed bearings, and if you go to a site like rockauto, there are 2 drilled and 1 solid.UPDATE: I knocked the bearing out and itnturns out the rear balance shaft has no oil hole... how is this possible?I had my engine...

I just purchased a new "Genuine" u-joint for my driveshaft rebuild, but it showed up and is cross drilled through the center, and the one I just removed from the driveshaft is solid throughout. Did I get a BS u-joint or what?

Hey all,I am currently in the process of my Omega build, and when it comes to the PTT Twin Disc clutch I got, its muddy waters for me. So I am collecting all the useful information here (much of it is circa 2006-2013, so expect outdated and mostly wrong information from those who never...

Nice car. Never see any DSMs around Vancouver anymore, let alone one with Euro parts. Hope it stays working for ya.

So I'm going to be taking in my block to the machine shop this week and I'm going to have them align hone with the torque plate. I know you need to use a head gasket when using a torque plate in order to achieve the proper whatever to ensure that the cylinders are bored properly. My question is...

Hi, I've been trying to diagnose a sporadic misfire on my 91 GSX and I'm looking at the ECU and found a few suspicious points that I was wondering if y'all could take a look at and see if any of these points could be related to my misfire issue. I have included a few pictures for reference...

This thread is for the general discussion of the vehicle 2016 Ford Escape ST. Please add to the discussion here.

I have a 91 GSR-4 with a jumping, very weakly moving, tach gauge. At idle, the needle twitches just above ~200rpm and doesn't move when you rev the engine. It sometimes would rise with RPMs while driving, but would just plummet once the RPMs started going down. I so far have swapped 2 (both new)...

I've been rebuilding my rear brake calipers on my 1991 all-wheel-drive eclipse and using the how to guide http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/how-to-rebuild-rear-brake-calipers.362859/ on how to rebuild your brake calipers was very helpful, but I have some improved tips that can be utilized to make...

Working with my 91 AWD with 1gb front calipers, needed the quick bleed fittings since I have no friends. Thought this will be helpful to others.Rear: Dorman 12709 M10x1.0 35mm Fronts (2 piston): Dorman 12708 M7x1.0 32mmAlex

Hi, I just picked up a freshly rebuilt 140 amp alternator for my 1g, So far I have replaced the stock ground wires with new ground straps in the stock locations, as well as a 6awg wire ground the alternator to the frame. Are the 2 white power wires going to the 80amp fuse, which i have replaced...

So here's the deal: l have an Innovate wideband setup with a non-Innovate gauge. When the sensor has been calibrated, and gas soaked rag is wrapped around the sensor, it reads as 20 lean; when the rag is removed, it then falls down to 10 rich. I checked the units signal output and it functions...

Can anyone tell me if there are any other cars that might possibly have these clips? I'm missing three of them...

Was wondering if, while my car is on jacks and all 4 wheels off the ground, with my LSD rear end, can I spin the wheels with the car off the ground? The warning label says not to spin any wheels while you have 1 wheel jacked up, but I am still not sure. I don't want to break anything.Alex

So I got an electric cutout off ebay that goes to a momentary toggle switch to open/close it up, but I want to wire it up to an on/off style switch so I can just push it down and have the motor stop on its own once it fully opens or closes. Is there a way I can go about doing this with some...

I have an Innovate LC-2 wide band setup, but when I do a free air calibration, it stays at 20.0 until it finishes its 30 sec calibration and then it dips to 10.2. I have 4 different Bosch 4.9 sensors and it happens with every one of them. It has been wired exactly as it shows in the manual. I...

About to fire up a freshly rebuilt motor, was wondering if I could prime the engine with oil through the turbo oil feed hole on the head.

I was reading over on the evoM forums about the different types of oil filters being used and which has the best performace, and I am wondering if the Purolator PL14459 fit the early 4G63's on the DSM platforms as it would on the newer 4G63's? I'm thinking they would, but I would like...

If I go to re-calibrate my wideband sensor (Innovate LC-2), should I spray clean it with an electrical cleaner like WD-40 Specialty cleaner and let it dry before I re-calibrate it? Or will it be fine as-is, with all the carbon deposits on it? It only has about 100 miles on it but for the sake of...

I have a front case with a giant hairline crack that is causing on oil leak.I have an old case from my previous engine that crankwalked, so there is some slight wear in the case on the back side. I measured how much wear there is and its only 0.32mm, so hardly anything.There are no...

This just popped up today, my 1ga Eclipse has been sitting for a bit (chilly weather without a battery tender, was sitting at around 10v, -Optima Red Top-, is now charged up with a new 4amp gel charger/tender), when I turn the key to the ON position, the green light flashes for about 10 seconds...

So I have an Innovate LC-2 Wideband kit from ECMLink, it is plugged into the OUT plug (as is said in the manual), and connected to a serial-to-USB cable. Now I have tried 3 different cables, 2 different computers, and both have resulted in squat. I try to start LogWorks and it just says "No...

Okay guys I've got a starting, running for a brief second and then dying problem here.I've checked the ECU the Caps are fine nothing looks out of the ordinary,I've swapped TPS sensors with no change,Swapped resistor packs with no change,Checked all my grounds to make sure they have bare...

Okay guys, I know this topic has been covered in the sense that everyone's solution is to simply weeks the cracks and reinstall and hope it will hold for a while. This isn't good enough for me and am trying to reinforce the playing of the replacement pedal assembly before it goes into the car...

Okay so here is my situation: I have a freshly rebuilt motor, a freshly rebuilt transmission, and a brand new clutch. The transmission and the clutch typically are babied for the first 500 miles or so, but the engine break in deals with a lot heavier loads and high RPMs to achieve proper ring...

Hey, so my buddy just totaled his car, and we are looking at a new shell. My question is this: if it is a FWD car, can we still bolt up the AWD driveline on it? We would also be swapping over the gas tank since that's different. Going from a 91 AWD Talon 4G63T to a 94 FWD Talon 1.8L SOHC

My buddies talon has a rebuilt head, stock everything else, balance shafts in and aligned right, crank pulley is fine, just did a clutch job, and new fluids in everything.At the moment, it idles smooth, but when you accelerate 2500+ the whole front of the car starts vibrating and shaking...

Hey yall, im picking up a 2g today, and since my Talon is already my play thing, I wanted to find an N/A 4G63 manual 2g so I can throw some unequal length headers on it and mess with people who see a DSM that sounds like a Subie (begin the flaming down below) plus the car is so damn cheap...

My 6-bolt walked...probably my fault lol Think the flywheel is still usable? I have a new faceplate for it, but opinions?

In short:Alternator tested GOOD, but doesn't charge Battery is fully charged, but isn't getting charged by the alternator The Alternator 80 amp fuse is fine The Alternator "Relay" is fine The Battery light on the dash is NOT illuminating when they key is in the ON position, and the bulb is...

What I ultimately need to know: The ID, OD, and thickness of the OEM wastegate flapper "washer", as well as the length of the rivet/fastener holding it to the arm.WHY? I want to know what size bolt, nut, and washer to order- all of which will be Titanium, in order to withstand the extreme heat...

Like most of you, there are many times where you remove a piece of trim, only to break the retaining clips holding them on, then what? If you go to the junkyard and pull those off, odds are that they are just going to break as well due to their age. Well I finally remembered to look this up, and...

Hey so I recently (500 miles ago) replaced my Right Side Outer Tie Rod End on my 91 AWD and I think I need to adjust it in one or two more turns because my right tire seems to have a degree or two of negative toe, and last time I ended up ruining my tie rod end with a hammer so I had to replace...

So I left 'Ground Timing Connector to ECU' On by accident...and drove about 18miles all highway, but I enjoyed the amount of "spitfire" I was getting...only to discover when I got home that my turbine housing was glowing red and was great for roasting marshmallows ;) So I left it idling for a...

FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM!: There are 2 small bolts that hold the 80amp Alternator Fuse, and the one closer to the firewall that keeps the wire coming off the battery had backed itself out, causing a bad connection, after tightening it down, I start the car and boom, 14.44v :DRed Top...
