I've seen a couple threads elsewhere where someone knows someone that's done it, but I'm looking for concrete info. The wiring isn't an issue. IIRC it's 6 wires to swap over.
I'm having an issue with the engine load going to 0 when it hits 300. I have ceddymods big maps which goes up to 340, but something is limiting it to 300. There's people making more power than me, so obviously I'm doing something wrong and I can't find anyone with the same problem. Here's a...
car in question is a 99 gsx. stock black box ecu running ceddymods big maps. 2.3L. Hx35. 3" Gm maf w/ translator.once it hits around 303 load it drops to 10-30 load and once it goes down to 306 it normalizes. Has anyone ever seen something like this happen? I can understand if it ran out of...

I purchased this from the classifieds. It was listed as being rebuilt 1k miles ago.
Seller is claiming the leak happened during shipping. Is that possible or was that already there before shipping??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZS2WfLnmsA&feature=youtube_gdata_player...
If you don't use the rear wipers and have the button taking up space, then this is for you. Be sure to unplug the rear wiper motor before doing this mod. Also do not hook up high amperage loads to the switch. Run it through a relay.To have the switch output a positive voltage splice into...
I wanted a small and obscure switch to turn on my fans, and I found it right in front of me.Step 1: acquire cheap flashlight from harbor freight.step 2: take the rubber grommet off and pull out the switchstep 3: remove rear wiper plug and mark spot to drill. Be careful, it's a tight...
I'd like to preface this by saying that the system has been tested to 20psi with no leaks and I'm having problems only when using the maft.I'm having a problem with the car going 10:1 rich as soon as I touch 1-2psi of boost and it starts bucking and refuses to accelerate. At idle and light...
This is a fast cheap and easy way to make your radiator get more airflow to keep the temps down.Supplies needed:
sockets and wrenches to remove fmic and radiator.

It doesn't look stock. Or at least what I remember them to look like.Has N7709 written in Sharpie over what looks like a machined down gear. And the current gear looks welded on.
Mine was completely destroyed and being on a budget I didn't feel like paying $50-80 for a bearing and some seals.The bearing is 30x62x16mm. It is also referred to as a 6062 bearing in the industry. I found it for under $5 shipped on ebay as some ATV part.

I've rebuild manual transmissions, but never touched auto's. I found a guide on how to do the front clutch and end clutch, but how hard is it to do the rest? Are any special tools needed?Here is the kit I'm planning on using. Precision with alto steel plates. $230 shipped

I was looking through some old photo's and found a couple of my first car. I was also my first DSM, and the first motor I rebuilt (with dad's help of course). I also Learned how to drive a manual on it. Got it trouble with it at school. Just high school fun. Life is in a rut right now (parents...
I know alot of the auto guys have problems with not enough vaccum to power the brakes. Well I was going through my parts stash and found a vaccum pump from a mkiv jetta. The vaccum port looks the save size as the 4g63 booster port, so it should be easy to T it into the brake booster line...
Found the whole intake manifold, but I mainly wanted the rail to make my own injector cleaner/tester.
Here's what they look like.If it helps, here's he intake manifold
I didn't stuff a rag into my intake manifold when I ported it, so now there's shavings everywhere. It's worse because they're stuck to the sticky crap inside the manifold. Same for my compressor housing. I can physically only reach in part way. Is there a good chemical solution I can soak it in...
I'm debating on what message to put on the middle section. The best idea I've had is this. Anyone got any suggestions?BTW that's to scale, so it can be used as a template
red dot=keyholeor this one
I haven't seen anyone else try this. Hopefully the gains are worth the effort. (11pm-4am)Removed the flapper lever. Kept the actual flapper for later.Started with a piece of steel. Cut roughly to size and file the edges to make them parallel. Found a socket that was the same size as the...
I have a head with bc valvetrain. New valves, springs, seals, titanium retainers, etc. Also has multi-angle valve job and lightly ported. Springs are good enough for 280 cams. Still has assembly lube on the retainers, but the mating surface isn't shiny anymore from sitting (aluminum oxidizes)...
I found a 99 gsx 5 hours away. PO got hit with a lawsuit and needed the money.
It looked pretty beat up.I bought it, but kept it at the PO house for a couple months until he started complaining. So I dragged it a mile to a storage company. A month later I towed it home.So far I've...
I'd like to rewire my oil pressure gauge so that it still receives power while cranking. Do any of the fuses in the fuse block by the clutch pedal fit the bill?Thanks
Ever since I got my first car, a 98 Rs, I've been bit by the dsm bug. When I found out they came turbo-awd I just needed to have one. Fast forward 4 years and 15 different cars(5 Dsm's, 5 VW's, and 3 awd A4's and 2 Awd A6's) I finally got a 98 gsx early this year. It was bone stock with 150k...
I thought after I layed down my first ever bead.So I started welding the brace in the tab for my intercooler, and the little square washer up top. It was much harder to get it to melt! But I finally tacked it in after 10 minutes.Now to weld the tab to the intercooler! I couldn't get it to...
I took my rear wheels off and saw this. It looks like offset bushings and spacers. Can someone confirm it nd why would anyone want that much positive camber?Also I believe it looks like front offset eyebolts. I didn't know they made those???
The previous owner thought it would be fun to take a hammer to the hump on the hood. Stupid I know.
Anyways I popped it out, sanded, and filled it with bondo. That all worked out fine. Now I've having problems with little bubbles appearing when sanding it down. I keep trying to fill then in with...
Pretty much I'm just looking for the fastest spooling holset that still has a good top end (~50lb of airflow)Due to cost I can't go with a twin scroll hx-35 (but one day I'll own one)So I've narrowed it down to a hy35BUT THEN I saw this post by justin and I'm back to researching :aha: <...
Its the oil supply for a killer 16g. Its a an4 fitting up top but the hydraulic shop didn't have anything threaded like the bottom. And I know its an Earl's fitting.
Does anyone know the thickness of the top(green) o-ring that comes on the FIC injectors? Just my top ones are ripped, so I dont want to buy a whole kit for 4 o-rings.Thanks
i got an offer to extend my subscription by a year for $12 and i get a free gift subscription to anyone.
So anyone want a super cheap year subscription? Just the harbor freight coupons are worth it
I've read a few threads and the general consensus is that it cannot (or should not) be done without a flush machine.Would it damage the transmission to have the engine idling in N while dumping all the fluid out the tranny cooler? I was thinking of doing that and then adding the required...
I got a crank sitting here from a rebuild I just did. It's going to need to be recut. I'm wondering if there's people out there that buy bad crank to cut them and resell them. Just looking to get rid of it, and dont want to send it to the scrap yard
I know one is a little longer than the other, but I've searched everywhere I can think of and cant find the answer. So does anyone know?Thanksobviously 7 bolt 4g63
Even giving it light gas it wont shift until its over 3k. Normal driving it waits till 4.It has an eeprom tcu. But its not socketed. Could the shift points still been reprogrammed?Btw this is a 97 gsx
I'm using a tractrix 2.0 cable. mutmonitor connects fine, but everytime I try evoscan it says all the normal initialization stuff and them it freezes. I can never get past that.also I made an automatic log that got saved to the sd card, but evoscan doesnt want to open that either. it says...
