    well, I recently got a 91 Eagle Talon TSI rolling shell with a 1g AWD tranny and a 2g 7 bolt motor...my plans for the motor are to run it off a standalone(MegaSquirt) with custom wiring so the wiring in no way concerns me, but my question is while I have this 7 bolt out of the car(this engine...

  13. 2.4L chrysler engine

    I own a 98 neon myself(currently working on a turbo 2.4L) and was just wondering whether anyone had swapped in a 2.4L block with the N/A 420 eclipse head(I know a neon owner who uses the eclipse head just for the convienence of mounting the turbo to the front of the engine) anyway, I was just...
  14. got a 87 merkur xrt4i for title cost =)

    hey guys, been a long time since I posted in here, mainly because I was forced to sell my DSMs =( , I have since gotten a 98 neon(DOHC 420A engine of course, I had a choice between that and a 98 mitsu gs, chose the neon because it was less expensive and faster stock for stock, now that my...
  15. ghetto knock sensor

    I'm wondering if there is a way to jury rig a knock sensor...instead of having the computer have anything to do with it...can I just wire it to a light in the cockpit somewhere that flashes every time it gets knock count? theres several reasons I want to do this, I am going to convert a NT to a...
  16. fixed my idle surge! but other problems

    well, after replacing the throttle body, ISC, EGR valve, and whatever other sensor was on the TB, my idle surge went away, I'm assuming it was the ISC that was bad, but anyway, I no longer have idle surge...however, when I first start it up it wants to idle around 500-700 RPMs....a bit low for...
  17. idle surge....but strange

    well, I have idle surge, joint he club right? well anyway I have been working my way through the VFAQ suggestions for eliminating it, and as I removed the vacuum line that runs from the intake tube to the valve cover it stopped surging, however when I adjusted the BISS too far out, it would...
  18. paint codes for 1g

    does anyone know the paint code for a white 1g laser? where can I find some paint for it that is sure to match? thanks
  19. just a question

    why is NT performance in the basic tech section now and turbo performance in the advanced? I know that turbos tend to be more complicated and all, but it kinda devalues NT performance to be looked at as a newbie type forum, where in fact in a properly built NT car, as much or more effort can go...
  20. should I change my timing belt?

    what do you guys think, shoyuld I try to change my t-belt, water pump, and head gasket myself? I've never done it before on this engine, but I am pretty competent mechanically, is it really that hard? I'd just have to get the special tools...
  21. 1g vented hood?

    ok, I sketched the front of my g/f's 91 laser for this sketch, I thought we needed a decent aftermarket hood for our 1gs, this is just a sketch so bear with me, first off, I wanted it to be functional, so it had to have both intake vents for fresh air to cool the engine and exhaust vents to let...
  22. stock injector size for NTs?

    I cant recall seeing around how many CCs our 1g NT injectors flow....anyone know?(just wondering how much HP they can support before having to be vhanged)
  23. oversized valves

    ok, I'm new to building engines, so bear with me here, what exactly would be the benifit of putting in say 1mm oversized valves? would it increase performance enough to be worth it, I'm pretty sure it will decrease gas mileage(just about all performance additions to engines do)but will it be...

  25. in theory....out of curiosity...

    ok, I understanf how nitrous works in theory, it carries 2 oxygen molecules and 1 nitrogen molecule....thus increasing power in the combustion chamber assuming you have enough fuel, my question is what if you used pure oxygen instead? wouldnt there be greater power potential in that? sorry for...

  27. in search of grommets(stereo install)

    ok, I'm installing a stereo in a 1gen DSM, and usually when I wire the amp to the battery I pass it from the passenger compartment into the engine bay via a grommet, however I only see the one grommet in a DSM, it looks to be back behind the heater case, where I can easily get to, are there any...
  28. 1G CEL O2 Sensor?

    ok, heres the deal, my laser has a problem, evidently anyway, the check engine lights comes on, then goes off about 20 seconds later, it continues to do this all the while I'm driving, if it stayed on I would actually think that something might be wrong with the engine, but its so intermittent...
  29. yet another idle surge question

    ok, I just bought a 91 laser and it has idle surge, goes from about 500 rpms up to around 1600 and back over and over again, it happens at idle and whenever I push the clutch, the RPMs drop down to about 500 again, I did a search but couldnt find out what symptoms were for which, there seems to...
  30. 4G63 NT rods VS 4G63 Turbo rods

    my question is quite simple, are the turbo rods stronger? and if so, is the strength difference worth buying forged rods? I'm bulding my NT engine into a turbo engine, going to get forged pistons, wondering if I need the forged rods too, I know I will eventually, but I dont mind tearing apart my...
  31. type of brake caliper? help!

    ok, heres the deal, I'm getting ready to buy another DSM, its a 91 laser, but it has a siezed up rear brake caliper, no big deal really, I'm just wondering whether DSMs have the type you compress with a c-clamp or are the screw in type, I'm pretty sure they are the screw in type, but dont know...

  33. 1g ferrari tailight conversion

    I saw some guy on ebay selling info on a ferrari taillight conversion(like the one that they usually show for the drift body kit) and I personally would never pay 20 bucks just for information on how to do something unless it was an entire book, in the add though he says that the materials cost...
  34. need for a new forum

    I think we need a new forum, we can call it the "Can I beat a _____" insert the car of your choice, I'm sorry, I just dont think those threads belong in this forum, dsmtalk.com I think has a forum like that, kill stories or something, I forget what its called right now, but it seems we need one...
  35. tailights(warning! involves dsm & non dsm cars)

    there are some things I like about the aftermarket tailights, well make that one thing, I like the fact that they are round, I dont care for the the clear or carbon fiber parts though, I've seen the ferrari conversion(1 gen) and that looks very good, but its overdone. Now I'll come to the point...
  36. Pistons, and Rods, and Cranks, oh my!

    ok, I'm planning on building up an NT engine that can handle 15 pounds of boost at the 9:1 compression ratio, I'm going to get JE forged pistons, I was just wondering whether I need to get forged rods or turbo rods or something, and how about the crankshaft? will the stock one do? You dont hear...
  37. cheap performance parts

    is there a difference between cam gears that cost 200 each and those that cost 100? I mean you can advance and retard your timing without aftermarket cam gears its just a pain in the a$$ it just seems to me that 200 each is a lot of money to spend on something that was stamped out in a machine...
  38. supercharger?

    ok, I used to own a mustang, and there were a ton of supercharger kits available, I havent seen any for DSMs(except the roots type supercharger) and I was wondering, has anyone tried to make one? I mean, technically all it is is a turbocharger spun by the engine belt rather than exhaust gasses...

  41. Windshield Wipers, impossible to remove?

    I've been trying to remove the wiper arms?, the part that holds the blade, and I cant seem to figure out how, I have a 93 eclipse, the haynes manual shows a different type of wiper arm than I have, it shows one that is connected with a couple screws, mine looks more like a hook if you know what...
  42. signs of a dying waterpump?

    ok, I have an overheating problem, my car overheats in about 15 minutes, I replaced the thermostat and the upper radiator hose. I was reading in the haynes manual that it could be the water pump failing, since there is a squeal that I dont think is belt squeal, considering it happens when I'm...
