Hey guys, just thought I'd share this bit of information. For anyone looking into a rwd setup on the 2.0/2.4 block, the trans of choice for the dodge guys has been the R154 from a mkiii supra...until about a year ago.The MA-5 from a 2.8l Chevy Colorado has been confirmed to work without the...

I'm really sorry for the absence of my presence for the last 6 months. I've been really really busy with life and circumstance.I just recently have been able to start the project back up and will have a ra-tarded amount of photos in the coming months. When we first started gutting everything...

Soooo.....yeah! A guy came by locally and wiped me clean, minus a few parts set back for a few members. In one week it goes to the shop to get completely stripped.The engine should be mounted in 2 weeks, then I'm stuck waiting on the r200 rear diff. I still have to get ahold of Magnus for the...

Guess has two thumbs and a Holset H1e? This guy, right here! Look at the size of this thing!!! Now I need the BEP T3 housing to match. That cast has got to go! Also if anyone can confirm my findings that it's just a standard double flare brake line that is used for the oil feed right?

Got some goodies ordered today. Got an EGT from a forum member, the neon head with PT valve train, neon moroso oil pan, and a polished pair of fidanza cam gears. I'm just stockpiling until April. :DI'll start having pics in March when the car gets gutted. Right now it's still my DD. I'll have...

So I'm about 3 hours into doing a lower intake gasket, among other things, on my 91 Buick Park Avenue. After wrestling with the tensioner assembly for the last hour, I finally was able to separate the intake from the head.I officially. Hate. Any series. Of 3800. Motor. :notgood: As far as...

So tonight is Midnight Ops.....Who else is ready for some Tomahawk action?What's your favorite wager match style? One in the ChamberFavorite Kill-Streak? Guided MissleViews on the Currency System? I'm gonna be rich!If anybody wants to get down at midnight(EST) on some PS3, I...

I just wanted to drop a helpful tip to those looking to upgrade their timing belt to a Gates Performance Racing belt. There are plenty of places that sell the belt for around $120.00 US. That's just bollocks. I know that Bruce at Parts Dinosaur has about the best online price you can find for...

Let the flame war begin! J/k It's official, though. This project begins at the start of the new year. I've been pricing and studying and buying, with just a couple of things left to go.I know what a lot of people are going to say about this and I've heard every reason under the sun NOT to use...

I've searched and found this 2G RWD and this Jake HS RWD w/pics The first link is dry outside of a link to my 2nd link, which has no pictures anymore. I've also researched The All New Eagle Talon and it seems as though I may need some more "inspiration" on what to do. I'm going to try to swap...

I have sourced most of my parts, now I just need to go get them. Carter_95RS is providing the neon head and I already have the Jeep liberty bell housing. I'll be picking up my R154 Supra trans at the end of the month, and I've got a friend that works at Fort Wayne Clutch that is going to make a...

So, surprise surprise, everything's on hold. Might try to go with a cheaper setup and get sponsors. Not sure yet....shock still present....head hurts.....wallet already non-existent...time to find a real job.....plus school.....plus screaming, eating, poo-machine....... AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!! It...

I've found nothing recent about running e-85 on a boosted 420a. If someone's got a link to anything recent, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I"M GETTIN' MARRIED! She's a crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted woman with no real appreciation for the DSM, but she does have appreciation for what I love and tries to support me any way she can, including monetarily and, as we all need with our love...

I just thought I'd ask around and see what everybody thought. For all my chassis components, I am going through Chassisengineering.com and basically, I'm getting their Car-in-a-box. I doubt I'll ever need that much cage, but I figure if I get bored, it will give me all the frame I need to up the...

If anyone needs a mechanic for the 420A platform, boosted or not, PM me. I'm always down to help a fellow underdog. I can do ANYTHING (minus tuning) and I guarantee all of my work. I am willing to travel and have all the necessary tools. If you need help PM. I work with one other guy and just...

Well I finally got most of the work done as far as under the hood. The only thing that is left is having my IC pipe welded to match the current routing. I've got shiny Aluminum that's going on instead of rusted Aluminized Steel. So bare with all the couplers, cause I HATE couplers.LOLHere's...

Well, a fellow DSMtuner member decided to drive up from Upland, IN to help me out on Friday. Many thanks to Carter 95RS. We didn't accomplish much, but he did bring up some stuff to make a headlight Air Intake for the track in two weeks and turns out I've now got a solid connect for body and...

EDIT: Original title: "ECC head on 420A block"Mark.....need to know if it will work....not if it will fit, but if it will work. You know what I'm getting into and I'm wondering if this can work so I don't have to haggle Mike to build me a reverse intake mani. So long as it is just the...

This is a Public Service to all the 420A guys out there. This will hopefully quell a lot of the recent "I've searched but not found any definitive answer" threads pertaining to Turboing the 420A. Now, there is a definitive parts list.**DISCLAIMER** I will not be held accountable for anything...

I'm trying to clean up some plumbing on the back of my block because I have a stupid amount of adapters and fittings ran for my oil pressure gauge, oil feed and oil sending unit. There is a bolt that looks like it can be removed about 6 inches to the right of the oil sending unit's spot and I...

I finally got a hold of Mike and he sent me pictures of my intake. Gawd it's sexy......I can't wait to slap it on!!!!:hellyeah:

So I haven't commenced on all the major work but I did tidy some things up under the bay. I installed new couplers for the BOV, a new oil line, and replaced my headlights. Here's the new headlights and an updated pic of my engine bay. Notice no more blue?:hellyeah: Clickable links:Let me...

Let me preface this by saying I know that the 42RLE (jeep RWD tranny) will fit the 2.4 SRT or cloud engines. The NVT350 and A604 from the 2.4 also fit the 420A. I'm wondering if the 42RLE driveshaft is the correct length to spline with a 420A clutch and pressure plate. I know that with enough...

So hey everybody! This is my first post in what will be a long and arduous ongoing series of posts. I've finally picked up a second DD for the ol' lady and no longer have to worry about having to transport children in the eclipse!:hellyeah:So now I'm going to focus on making some steps in the...

Most of the other diagrams I have found seem exactly like this one, but then again, all had reference only to stock setups. I hope that this is correct, as I am using all aftermarket -6an lines, Rail, Filter, and AFPR. If it's wrong please correct me.The exact position of where the Send and...

Hey guys, you all know me fairly well as having half-cocked, hair-brained ideas and I might have another one. I'm dropping a small bit of money and would like to know if I should spend the extra on something else. I was once told in a local forum to see what I can get a stock block to do before...

I'm posting this here because this is a turbo build. I have just a few questions: 1. I'll be breaking in some cams soon and I'm wondering if, because we don't have flat tappet cams, if the break in process is the same. 2. Can this be done at the same time as breaking in the block or should I...

Howdy howdy partners! So I've just acquired a good block to put a stroker kit into. My ultimate goal is to beat ZERO...no offense man. I plan on going with a Howell stroker kit and having a local shop do the machining for me. I have a question that someone may be able to help me out with. I NEED...

So after doing my turbo build I noticed that my timing belt has walked to the inner edge of the cam gears and it's about a 1/16th of an inch over the gear. I replaced all my pulleys and water pump and oil pump when I did the rebuild. I replaced every gasket and seal except for the block...

This thread will be complete with pictures by the end of the week. I'm doing a write up on this because I needed one and had to figure it out on my own. I wanted to clear up some more of the engine bay and my cruise didn't work properly anyways, so i decided to remove it. The biggest pain was...

As some of you may remember, I posted some info on using a silvia turbo a while back. I've scrapped that idea and am going to piece together a kit based off of the "less than $1000" thread. I've just got some basic info. This is all the stuff I plan on getting for my winter build. I will be...

I've searched and gained most of my answers regarding the 97 afx ECU. However, is this for AT only or MT as well, and what if my car already revs up to 7500? As far as I know, when I got the 97 shell it didn't have any ecu mods done. Just curious.

So for all of you that helped me just weeks ago, it came back....but different. let me explain. When I reset my ECU the CEL came on because I completely blocked off my EGR and since I put on a high flow cat and there's a leak in my mid pipe, i throw a light for my downstream o2. Well every so...

What are the main differences between the 95 N/Ts , 96-97's, 98-99's? I'm pretty sure it's just the ECU, Wiring harness, and various sensors. Any comments?could be helpful for all those"did a swap and now the sensor has a different end" posts.

I've decided to go with the 2.2 stroker kit from Howell and their head rebuild kit, as well. I would like to know what would be the best cams to run 15psi daily and 30psi at the track.? 10's, 12's, 14's, 16's, or 18's? It's just one of the things I haven't had the time to research the science...

at idle my car makes a "wub wub wub" noise. my RPM hobbles around in between 800 and 1100. as soon as you hit the gas it goes away. before you start reaming me with easy answers to my problem, lemme tell you what all I've done to try and correct it: new plugs, wires, new Iac vavle, Pcv valve...

So....I've got a 2G N/T and a buddy with a Factory SR20Dett turbo, I'm looking to drop it in by the end of summer. I'm just wondering what it'll take to get it on without blowing my motor. I know I can handle 8 psi stock with some ignition and fuel work. I plan on dropping $20K into a full build...

I've looked over many of the threads for the last 3 hours and have only found vauge similarities to what I am expeirencing. Mainly with the idle surge. 1. Fast Idle surging: when I start my hoopty it'll bump up in RPM right around 16-1700 then when it drops to NOT, it'll surge real fast like...
