Well I just started up my freshly built 2.3 stroker and did a quick idle log. Upon initial inspection my o2 sensor doesn't seem to be cycling properly and my AFRs are way off (using db9 usb to serial adapter rather than 5v signal to the ecu per ceddy's suggestion) . I was hoping one of the...
I have about 100 miles and quite a bit of idle time on my fresh 2.3 stroker. I started hearing an ever so slight knocking sound and I decided I would be best off checking the rod bearings sooner than later if I didn't want to risk damaging my crank. My question is do these bearings look like...
Is there any downside to using the port on the bottom of a 6 bolt oil filter housing for the turbo oil feed line? There are three ports on the front of the OFH facing the headlights(all of which are TERRIBLY stripped from the last owner). However the port on the bottom has not been molested...
Well I am rebuilding my car right now and I am curious whether I would be able to drive my car ~200 miles with new evo 9 pistons and rods without a tune? The reason I ask is because of the difference in compression ratios.
I just finished building/installing my engine and I am wondering if there are any adverse effects of starting it up without any transmission(manual) fluid in it. Without moving it of course;)
I recently bought an AEM fuel rail off craigslist for my 98 eclipse GSX (only because my old rail was damaged), I got it home and tried to put my stock injectors into it and my injectors were way to small in circumference. So now I am wondering if this rail is for a 420a eclipse since...
So I just got done installing a new short block, transmission, and head. I have not installed the turbo system or transfer case yet. I also installed a brand new front case and there is some tension on the oil pulley(it doesn't free fall like it says in the vfaq) but I can still turn it by...
Well I just got ripped off by a seller from this site. I decided to start looking for a 16g to replace my t25 and I stumbled upon this ad in the classifieds:FS: MHI Evo 3 16g & J Pipe - DSM ClassifiedsIt looked like a pretty decent deal and it seemed to be in GREAT condition. This was...
Sorry about the crappy pic, this guy lives about 200 miles away from me so I don't want to waste my time if this is some ebay knockoff. Is this a real 16g?
So my dsm out of nowhere started making some weird grinding and rattling noises so I decided to take a peek. This is my first AWD so I am not very familiar with the whole AWD system and now I'm freeking out thinking this is going to be a pain for me to fix, I know someone can ease my suffering...
Does anyone know where the blower motor is located on the 2g? If i turn the blower to any speed (max, min, anywhere), all I get is a tiny bit of air that comes out, barely even enough to feel. Does this sound like a blower motor or just a relay?
I won this auction earlier today but I just noticed that it doesn't have the hard/soft screw and bolt at the top, will this still work and how hard will this be to replace?:hmm:THIS IS THE AUCTION:Greddy blow off valve honda toyota nissan turbo eclips:eBay Motors (item 280375883307 end...
I have had 3 DSMs now and I'm slowly moving up in the DSM world. My first I replaced the tiny t25 with a 14b then sold it. The next car I replaced the stock t25 with a 16g. Well I'm on my 3rd DSM now and I want small upgrade from the 16g, what would you guys suggest? T3T4? Thanks in advance...
I just put a new headgasket on my 2g GSX. I finally got the timing perfect and almost everything is back together, the car is running better than ever! Now for the problem, I can't get the accessory belts back on correctly or my brand new water pump is bent.:confused:When I put all the...
I just finished my head gasket install, I started the car to make sure all was OK since I replaced the water pump, timing belt, and just about everything else while I was in there. Well the car started right up and seems to run good:rocks:, BUT it vibrates really bad, the vibrations get worse...
Ok, so I just got done putting my car back together after my first head swap, I haven't tried starting it because I just remembered that somebody told me that I NEED to bleed my lifters before I can start it. Is this true or just a myth, I really want to go see if it will start, but do I need...
Simple question, I did a bunch of searching but I never came across a direct answer. Will it help to put a few coats of permatex copper spray on my composite oem misu head gasket before the install? Also since I'm using this headgasket is it really necessary to have my head/block resurfaced...
Does this Headgasket look bad? Heres the story, I bought a 95 talon tsi about 3 weeks ago, and it has been loosing coolant at a pretty rapid rate. I need to refill every 50 miles, but i've only put on about 150 total. I thought that it might be something simple like a hose, thermostat, or...
I just bought a 95 tsi awd with about 100,000 miles on it today. After trading cash for the title I began the 130 mile trip from Duluth, MN to Blaine, MN. I got about 30 miles and I noticed the temp gauge rising, so I pulled over and took a peak under the hood. I noticed there wasn't any...
I Installed an ssac front mount a few days ago, now when i start my car it will idle at about 1100 rpms then it will slowely fall untill the car dies. If I unplug my mas my car will run way better, will not die on me, and the idle is pretty smooth. I read about 500 posts on this site, and I...
I did a 14b turbo swap this weekend, it was my first swap and it was super easy to do;)
But as i was putting the coolant back into the car after completely draining it, I noticed that the coolant foams slightly. I have been checking the coolant levels over the last few days and it has stayed...
Does anyone happen to know what could be causing my car to idle at 800 even after a cold start? Every other car i have ever owned has always reved to about 1400 and worked its way down to a lower rpm as the engine heated up, what could possibly be going on with my car?
Hi everyone,
Im looking for the ssautochrome intercooler without the piping for a reasonable price, I already have the intercooler piping i just need the intercooler, but i cant find any with rear facing inlets/outlets. Does anyone happen to know where i can find one of these?
I know that the oem spray paint on the silver 95's is code a52 minden silver pearl, but does anybody know of a dupli-color spray paint that is very close to identical, or of any other spray paint i can find easily, because none of the auto stores by me carry the exact color and i cant find it...
What Is this part called? I need a new one, mine is now cracked and half of it is missing. I would really like to get a silver one that is already painted. If anyone knows of anywhere i can get one please let me know! THANKS SO MUCH.
So I live in Duluth Minnesota and as you all know it gets pretty cold here. I drove to minneapolis to pick up a 95 Eclipse gst, i got there and the car looked great and showed no signs of anything going bad. I drove the car 220 miles home without a problem. The next morning i go outside to...
