Seeing that I can no longer shift into 2nd (and only 2nd gear) without grinding (unless I am going 5 mph or less), I am pretty sure the #2 syncro is toast. I have a local shop in Tualatin quoting me @ $1100 for the repair plus the gearing & parts update that they claim is necessary w/ this...

Having a black car is bad enough...but about 1 1/2 years ago my 99 hood stock clearcoat started to spider crack and spread pretty bad within a few months (no pics of crappy hood). I got the hood and the 2 front quarter panels panted a year ago. The cancer seems to spread though...

So the other day I was removing my oil pressure gauge sending unit because it was leaking, accdentially grounded the wrench to the hot terminal on the alt and fried the 120 amp fuse (my problems have problems)...replacing that, I then just wanted to get my car home before taking off last week...

So I'm sitting here with my new 270cc fuel injectors w/ my thumb up my ass wondering which inbread engineer figured out how to attach the fuel rail to the intake manafold. Since I can barley see the 2 bolts that mount the fuel rail, I am wondering: 1) What size are they (10mm?) 2) How the...

In prep of finally installing my 270cc FI's and Zietronics W/B kit, I got my Palm OBDII datalogger functioning correctly! The 420a ECU's do not put out the same engine information as the 4g63, so I am trying to figure out the important values to look at on the log. I plan to totally replace...

So I am checking out my plugs and wires yesterday and looking @ my Haynes manual, it states that all 4 plug wires should ohm out to about 8k for impedance. The plug wires I have for cylinders 1, 2, & 3 ohm out at about .5k and cylinder 4 @ 3.5k. I used another DMM and returned the exact same...

After a new alternator installation from Autozone, Battery light comes on and I flip my Apexi TT to display voltage @ 16v! Battery failed seconds later.I tow it to a repair station at the next freeway exit and this guy is telling me my ECU might be bad...I assumed the voltage regulator...

I was looking for information on the ECU pinout for my 99 GS but wasn't very sucessful.I did see this recient posting which is an excellent harness end reference: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/420a-bolt-tech/283950-2gnt-pcm-connector-views.htmlAnd this one seems to lead to something...

I finally decide upon and purchased a WB kit for my 420a. I bought the Zt-2 w/ LCD display & MAS sensor. I did a lot of reading on the archive of W/B discussion, but still have a few questions before installation.1) I see some people leave the WB O2 installed while others remove it and...

Well I had read on this forum a few times that these FPRs were shit. So I was not suprised when, after boosted operation, I can park and idle and sometimes my FPR will vibrate at around 2Khz. I just read on cartech.net that adjusting the gain screw valve should remove this "back pressure"...

(Context: Broken remote, as in: broken exterior, not interior) If you have owned your 2G DSM for a number of years and use the remote on your keychain, you probably have noticed the weak design of the case where the keyring loops through. That little piece of plastic will sooner or later snap...

Finally getting to the small oil leak @ the valve cover half-round seal & #4 spark hole, , I replaced the valve cover a little over a week ago. Making sure to only apply RTV at the corners of the gasket, I thought it worked out well...until I blew 3 quarts of oil out the back side of the valve...

I reciently bought a Grounding Kit from Ebay to hopfully fix my light dimming issue in my 99 GS. I bought a new battery 2 months ago to replace my dying one but I still have my issue where my headlights will dim when the sub amplifer is pushing out wattage and also I will see my headlights...

Hey Guys...Looking for any anyone w/ experience installing this Hahn kit. I started it in stage 1 configuration...I only have my boost guage connected so far (and that was incorrectly connected off of the W/G actuator because I thought it would be more accurate) for readings. Pyro gauge...

I have completed the installation of my Hahn 1st stage 420a kit. Looking for Boost guage in correct PSI range for this application. Since I am only pushing 4 - 6 PSI in this configuration, I was hoping to find a Boost Guage in the 0 - 10 PSI range but I see NONE online through my search. Has...

Since I am brand new to this forum, I was not able to post in the 420A conversion section when I attempted to so I will try here...First of all, this was a project to understand the physics and functionality of the Turbo as much as boost a little power...I'm a noob and am a little...
