    Interior Selections

    I was wondering. What were the interior selections for the 2gb Talons? Did they have the option of 2 tone black/grey like the eclipses could get? What years had the all solid grey interiors? These questions apply to LEATHER interiors only. Thanks!

    Valve Options/Problem

    I am doing a rebuild on a 90 6 bolt and when my machinist went to do my head he called me up and told me that he will be unable to do a valve job because he does not have the correct "bit" or something and it would cost him $300 and that is not "profitable" for him. He told me that if I can find...

    90 Oil Cooler Clean/No?

    I am doing a rebuild on my '90 TSi AWD and I had a question about the oil cooler. Can you clean those? I mean the guy before spun a rod bearing so this is kind of my project car and I was wondering if its possible to clean out those external coolers if any metal got inside. Thanks!

    Nippon Piston Rings (NPR)

    I am doing a rebuild and I have searched NPR on tuners and it seems like mostly good replies that say people like their products. I have heard that NPR makes the original 4g63t pistons/rings. Is this true? No dealer has ever given me a straight answer. Thanks!

    Does this block need machined to use?

    Yes, the one I posted pictures of that isn't mine is a 6 bolt. And the one that I own is a 6 bolt. And my spare crank/rods are 6 bolt.

    Does this block need machined to use?

    I was planning on rebuilding my other 6 bolt that has a spun rod bearing it (came with the car), since i have another crank and set of rods. Or I was going to buy a running one. On my rebuild I was thinking MLS HG and I was hoping I could re-use the pistons from the old 6 bolt.. I'll get pics of...

    Does this block need machined to use?

    I was thinking about buying it to put a head on it. But under the condition that it was run-able.. which it appears to be not. Thanks guys.Also at BoredDSM, what pistons would you suggest in a rebuild project? Thanks

    Does this block need machined to use?

    Hey wondering if this block needs to be machined before putting a head on and running it. My concern is the cylinder walls. I'm just not sure if they will clear up after running or not run at all. Thanks. Pics vv

    clutch pedal sticks

    I've actually had this happen to me before after swapping an engine in my old 2g. The pedal would go about halfway down and then stick to the floor. The first thing I would suggest you check is the master cylinder. Crawl in upsidedown underneath your dash and look up by the clutch pedal with a...

    Reputable Rod Machining

    I was wondering where everyone has taken their 6 bolt rods to get machined for 2g pistons. My local toolmaker doesn't feel comfortable doing it because of the amount of precision and accuracy needed (mostly keeping the crank bore and the wrist pin bore on the EXACT same plane), and all the local...

    Looking for a running 6 bolt in des moines/ames area. I can meet halfway for most places in Iowa. I'm also from northeast Iowa so anywhere up there works too. Let me know and we can work out a price, thanks.

    7 Bolt Rebuild Project

    My plan was to rebuild this engine to stock and try to keep costs low. The whole block has just around 100k miles on it.What would you project this might cost on average if you have any idea? Thanks

    7 Bolt Rebuild Project

    I have a spare 7 bolt that has been sitting in my garage for some time and I have decided to start the rebuild on it. The engine originally spun a rod bearing and started knocking. I took the head off today and snapped some pictures of the pistons and cylinder walls to see what you guys think...

    Datalog with a Netbook?

    I was wondering if anyone here had used a netbook for datalogging on a 2g. I have an asus eeepc 1005ha. I have USB and a VGA port but that seems to be about it. Has anyone done this with a cable and software? (I was thinking possibly ECMLink's diagnostics cable) Thanks

    Stuck Clutch Pedal

    I don't get it, I replaced my master with a brand new one as well as bled the clutch for at least a half an hour now. And my clutch pedal is STILL stuck on the floor. Here is a video of what I mean by "stuck on the floor". Thanks.<embed width="448" height="361"...

    Stuck Clutch Pedal

    My clutch pedal is stuck on the floor. I have not driven my car in some time, and just went through an engine swap with a 41k mile donor engine with the factory clutch included on the engine, and it looked to be in very good condition. Basically what happens is I push the clutch pedal down...

    Doing a Rebuild - OEM or Aftermarket Internals?

    The budget is $1,500 in parts only, not labor since we are doing this on our own. Thanks for the info, I know for a fact that one of my rods has seen too much friction and will need to be replaced, the other 3 look good so far. Would a new set of rods/pistons from mitsubishi be alot cheaper then...

    Doing a Rebuild - OEM or Aftermarket Internals?

    I spun a bearing not too long ago and it put scars on my crankshaft and on the inside of the rod. So basically I am forced to pull the engine and get the crankshaft turned and do a rebuild of the bottem end. Last time I checked my compression it was at 158 in every cylinder. So it sounds like my...

    Blown Engine?

    I dropped the oil which was fairly new and I noticed it is green. Like dark green/brown in color and has lines that seperate it into clumps on the surface. So basically I have coolant in my oil I'm geussing.

    Blown Engine?

    Well I was on my way out of town today and ended up following a semi for about 20 miles. About 15 minutes into the trip I was giong about 60 and all of a sudden my car felt like I hit the brakes or something because it dropped down to about 50. I didn't know what to think of it at first but when...

    Factory Amp Wiring

    I removed my door woofers since they won't be heard once I have my 12's in the rear of my car. So I put tweeters in up in the dash at the factory location. I was going to wire them up using the factory amp wiring harness under the passenger seat. But I have searched and can't find any real...

    Solid Motor Mount Install

    Well, i got my rear solid motor mount installed and on the car, but my front one is being a pill. If I bolt it to the chassis and go to do the hole, the bracket won't line up unless I lift the engine (well, duh :P). But anyways, I cannot find a way to lift the engine to meet the bracket this way...

    Tubular Manifold Fix

    Hey, I have a tubular manifold, I BELIEVE it is a punishment racing budget manifold they sold awhile back. Though I am not sure, I bought it used. It's not exactly the prettiest at the moment but I could care less. What I do care about is that it has a tiny air leak near the collector. Now, I...

    Aluminum Motor Mounts

    UPDATE:Well we went ahead and started on the mounts. My front one seems to be bent beyond use for an insert so we are going to re-create it tomarrow out of steel stock and then machine an aluminum insert for that one as well. For now I have pictures of how the rear one turned out. Let me...

    Where does this go?

    Although I was going to reroute my power wire anyways, what exactly is it that makes the wire going through that location so dangerous as to blow fuses and catch your car on fire? Isn't it virtually the same as running it thruogh the firewall and under your carpet other than it doesn't look as nice?

    Where does this go?

    I figured this was kind of a noob question :p But I was pulling things off the car to get to my rear motor mount and I noticed a vacuum hose looking deal going into my cabin and I don't know where it plugs into or what its for.

    Bent Motor Mount?

    Well I am pulling off my front and rear motor mounts and when i got the front one off and took it inside I noticed that it just doesn't look right to me.. unless its just me.

    Aluminum Motor Mounts

    I am not looking to make money with any parts I make myself. Especially something I have not even road tested and abused yet. I am only looking for ways to better my own car. Although it may sound silly, freak accidents do happen (even with solid chunks of aircraft grade aluminum), and to add to...

    Quick and easy photoshop request?

    Nice sneakers :P, is that you?I really like the idea of doing the black mouth around the fmic and also when people do it around the fog lights it looks really good. Sometimes makes me wish my car wasn't already black. So were you going to paint that area yourself?

    Car owner dead, how do I get the title?

    Intake and Exhaust performance effects

    Lol.ROFLSearching would have probably answered all of your questions. When it comes to the inner diameter of things the general rule is that bigger is better. To an extent. You can overkill this though. Idle and Redline won't be changed by your basic bolt-ons. Throttle response would...
