yeah those made me lol at first and then feel bad because they are "into" cars and saying stupid stuff like that.

Get used to it. I suggest getting triple a or something similar it will come in handy.

Any DSMers still here?!

Nice manifold! I have been thrying to find one for my setup but it looks as though I will have to go custom as well. Car looks grat!

I just ordered KYBs and Eibach pro

Say that 3 times fast. Anyways I am building a all race 2g and I need a good suspension that can take some hard launches and maybe cut down my times. She will be a trailer queen so I dont need a 'comfortable" ride. What do you guys use?

As I already said congrats Jesse, I hope you kill em at the Shootout.

I went by this and it was pretty easy.

You and I have nearly identical setups except the intake manifold although I want to switch to magnus. What TB is that a maguns custom one?

Put both of these together get a Haynes/Chilton book and also get a new timing belt and tensioner. You don't want to put it back together and then a week later the belt snaps.

Also I don't know if you are worried about performance any, but the 2g is like 8mm smaller in diamater.

Yeah It would not be the best idea in the world. BTW I have 60 something post and I still can't use the classifieds so don't be in a hurry.

Thanks for the info although it wasn't very nice but I will deff try that next if (god forbid) my cps goes out again.

Garret and mitsu t25 are diffrent. Diffrent flanges adn lines and such.GarretMitsubishiPics for comparison. If you need a mitsu t25 pm me.

I spent a little over $7500 to completely "build" a long block and although my build is more extensive it adds up when you use good quality parts. Im sure you can do an ebay engine build for a couple grand or a few hundred but it sure wont get you in the 10s.

I run +.40 block in my 2g so yes you can do it and yes it will hold 20psi. I run a gt42r on 36-40psi.

If you tried to built the parts and have them machined it would cost you well over $7k so I would say thats a great deal.

just get your 50 post in and 30 then you can use the classifieds.

I think I am going to attempt this as well in the race car so that the fuel cell has something solid to mount to. If you end up doing it let me know how it goes. I will probably go with a steel sheet instead of aluminim and multipul support bars.

Don't get an ebay knockoff get the PR one. These DSM vendors are struggling because of all the knockoffs now days. I would suggest the PR one anyways because my old FMIC was a PR and it was great and even got me into the 10s. Deffinantly give them a shot I promise its worth your time.

Which cars did the dual piston calipers that say "mitsubishi" on them come off of?

A bad ball joint as stated would be my first guess. Also make sure your tie rods ends are good if its in the front. If its in the rear then just do a quick inspection and make sure nothing looks bent.

Yeah there is 4 springs per valve. If it has titanium ones then they should have a clean look and almost blue in color.

3000gt vr4 is 4 piston in the front and 2 piston in the rear. Vr4 needs custom brackets. Whereas the dual pistons ones bolt right on.

wouldn't start. Do you have a CEL? Mine was a faulty sensor becuase I crushed it while putting my motor back together.

Yeah and some of the chain stores may even help you put it on. Or just go to a service station I believe it only calls for an hour labor and its like a $10 part.

Its up to you on which way you should go turbo or not of course a turbo would be more fun so just buy a 6 bolt 4g63t longblock and swap it or just buy a new n/a block and rebuild it. Its up to you in the end I would stick with n/a for the simplicity.

I agree I used to have this clutch and loved it. Deff check this one out.

The part is $50 bucks at autozone I just recently did mine. You will have to take the intake cam completely out and remove the cam gear from the cam. Set the cam back in the head then the caps then put your sensor on and then the gear and time it.

my guess as well.

Good to know! :thumb:

If I remember corrctly TRE sells a bolt kit if you can't get one at your local mitsu dealer.

Not on my FWD.

Punishment racing FMIC is a great kit I ran 10s on one. They are good for almost 500hp I believe so 400 would be a problem.

Are they direct bolt on for 2gs? I think this will be my next upgrade let us know how it goes.

yeah unless you are putting down 400hp+ then it wont do you any good. If you are then you should check out this link DSM Sheet Metal Intake Testing

Those things are the biggest PITA ever. You have to take the cam gear off of the cam just to get the damn thing on and off. It sucks so bad.

I just got all my stuff of of Ebay when I had to rebuild my old 420a it is probaly alot cheaper that way.

any more info on what is going on? Its hard to diagnois a problem on those details. Check the 3 major thing fuel, compression, and spark.edit: beat me to it.

I love the pics and I love the wheels.

Take the kick panel apart and also the the driver side door jam. A while back a wire underneith the carpet on the driverside broke and was loose and I had the same issue.

Also check for for bent wheels, and maybe have them rebalanced. Then see if that helps, so you can tackle that noise.

I would check the battery, and the starter, if its still the factory start from 92 you might want to replace it.

Hmm it almost sounds like its in 2nd gear. I think its hard to say have you priced a tranny diagnostic at a local tranny shop? That might be your best bet as it could be the TC or the TCM and maybe the wrong tranny fluid. I would just check for leaks or maybe try some LUCAS tranny slip-stop see...

Maybe a TC but I doubt it have you check the tranny fluid and/or drained ot lately? BTW nice talon im trying to find a white 2g as a DD.

I had one for the first few months because everyone said I needed one, I never turned the boost up or anything but it worked fine none the less. Easy install and it cam with routing instructions.

Looks good. but not my taste. I have been trying to find an OEM style fiberglass one that uses the hood latch but it is proving difficult.

What a disgrace, sad to see a 2g ruined.

I don't want to insult your inteligence but did you make sure the exhuast isn't hung up on anything?Sometimes it will get hung up on the cross member. Which O2 housing are you using? Some force may be needed to line it up.

I always wanted to do something like that. It looks great man keep us posted.
