I have a 91 awd Talon that I saved from a terrible PO.I always had trouble going WOT or even above about 50% throttle until I found out the ecu is from a 90 NT car. With that ecu it idles/cruises fine but anything above light acceleration causes the car to fall on its face.So I went...
I'm looking for something similar to CAPS/ASA but for Chryslers. It doesn't need to be especially up to date since most of the information that I am looking for is pre-2004 but it should be pretty comprehensive since I'm planning on looking at some pretty oddball stuff.
I picked up an awd talon that has been nothing but problems so far. At first it was in limp mode due to a bad tcu, then it wouldn't shift to 4th because of bad pulse generators.I replaced the pulse generators with ones out of my 2g, and replaced the tcu with one bought in the classifieds...
I just wanted to post a quick tip for those who are going to be rebuilding throttle bodies in the future. Many rebuilding guides suggest picking up and impact driver to get the shaft/plate screws out without stripping them. The reason that these screws are so hard to remove are that they are...
I've checked the part numbers for pulse generators from my 91 talon and my 97 Eclipse and the part number are different (91 awd) md737682 (revised) md751033 and (2g) md757025.That only tells me that the parts are a bit different, not if they are compatible in any useful sense. The reason I...
As the title states my stock boost gauge on my new car does not ever move (91 tsi awd) and my tcu reports that it does not receive a torque reduction request signal. Is this typical of a dying ecu or am I running into other problems? I would take the ecu out and look at it but I wont have a lot...
I just bought a 91 talon awd that was in limp mode. I replaced the tcu and now it generally shifts well but will go back into limp mode after a while with codes 62 and 32 (as far as I can tell) however even when it is shifting it doesn't want to go into OD at all and I end up cruising at 65mph...
I know that this information exists somewhere but I cannot find it so I'm hoping someone can give me some help. Can anyone tell me the order of the solenoids on the valve body for a 2g, that is of course a valve body with TC lockup.Found the answer, yellow, orange, red from the edge of the...
Strangely enough my transmission has decided to stick in 1st gear only and I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions as to why. Could a bad tcu cause this? If it is bad then will pulling the tcu cause it to go into limp mode? Checking to see if the car physically can change gears would be...
I've managed to break my transmission pump, or something inside that area while trying to install my transmission. Now I do have a few junk transmissions in my garage so I can pull the pump and gears to replace it but after messing around with one of them I've found that the pump is very hard to...
This should be of interest to anyone running a flashable or eprom ecu at this point. Basically I'm running an evo8 ecu and I'm having transmission troubles, but AFAIK I can't pull codes from the diagnostic port using a multimeter for the tcu to determine why I randomly go into limp mode...
I have a translab shift kit in my car but I have some problems and I want to go back and check the band adjustment but I've lost my instructions.Could someone please scan and send me a copy of the band adjustment page or at least type up that part of the instructions for me? If it isn't too...
I've been having some problems with long and flared shifts including occasionally not being able to get the car to upshift at all. When it does shift if I haven't backed off the gas the shift is quite violent. I think I've ruled out a couple of things. First I have placed a valve body from my...
I'm looking for some information that we can compile together in order to make fuller use of the Virtual Dyno Room.
Virtual Dyno Room-Dyno Simulator - evolutionm.net
Specifically what I am looking for is 2g fwd automatic gear ratios. I have found the gear ratios for most other cars but I...
I am in many ways an electrical noob however would it be beneficial (and not terribly complicated) to replace my injector resistor pack with lighter resistors? I'm trying to get my Bosch 1600s to idle and while I'm getting pretty close with e85 I think a smaller deadtime would be awfully helpful...

After looking around quite a bit I've found both the Translab and Transgo shift kits available for our cars. I'm aware that the Translab shift kit is far more common but I was curious about experiences with the other shift kit. The Translab is cheapest AFAIK from IPT at $92 with about $14...
I've searched around quite a bit and read several articles about replacing the elastic straps that control the floating rib on the convertible tops but I would like some feedback on what materials people are using and how long those materials should be.The ebay kit is $75 and neither of my...
I'm having a lot of trouble with my transmission. I just pulled the car out of winter hibernation and it worked fine for a day then the transmission started acting up.At any given time I can start the car and drive it for a few hundred yards before it starts to slip and then gives up...
So I've managed to put myself into a predicament where I need to know what the bolt size is that holds the slave cylinder to my transmission on a 94 Jeep Cherokee. Does anyone have access to a comprehensive database that can figure that out for me? Until I find it my Jeep is undriveable and it...
I've done some searching but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I had some troubles coming home from the track two weeks ago and at this point I've gotten the transmission down and taken it to a transmission shop. They have informed me that I threw a secondary gear from my...
I have a leak from my transmission that is causing me some problems. I have figured out at this point that the point where it is exiting the transmission altogether is from the small weep hole between the inspection cover and the transmission. I took the cover off and looked up there as well as...
I found this mod on a Jeep forum and it looks super cool for manual transmission guys that launch on inclines such as autocrossers, road racers, or where things aren't perfectly flat. To save you from following a link if you aren't interested it is a way to fit a Subaru line lock either to the...
I got a Clarke 130amp welder for Christmas and I'm only now getting to the point where I have a little bit of time to use it (back in school). So I was wondering what anyone might have as far as suggestions for projects that I can do to work on my welding skills. I have a Jeep besides the...
I've been trying to handle some overrun from an evo9 fuel pump for a while now and I'm throwing ideas around to see if I can manage to get away with not buying an AFPR because I just can't spend that money right now and a more elegant solution using stock parts would be really nifty.My first...
My evo9 fuel pump is overrunning my stock FPR horribly. I would like a way to turn it down at low load like the evos do but I'm just not good enough with electricity to fully visualize what that takes.I have an evo8 ecu in my car so the only challenge is figuring out how to wire it up...
It is long past time to start splitting the evo8 ecu thread into relevant smaller discussions so here is the first fork. This is a topic that has relevance to a large section of the community including everyone that runs a flashable ecu be it an evo8 ecu or the H8 based 98/99 ecus as well as any...
Thought that this might be very interesting to the 1g guys out there. It sounds a bit more involved than the 2g install but it gives you access to some amazing features including ECU based boost control, SD, map switching, launch maps, and a whole host of other things.Evo8 ECU in a 1G DSM in...
I'm looking for some information and wanted to share a couple of ideas. It is possible that I'm missing something simple which makes this impossible but:One of the big issues that we have had with wanting to run a twin scroll evo turbo has been that the turbo is reversed compared to ours...
So I'm on a weekend trip to Baltimore and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of the best things to do around the area. We'll be taking a day trip to the Capitol and tonight we spent some time walking around part of the harbor.So to the Baltimore DSMers, what would you plan if you...
Now that I have SD running on my car (mostly) I have a very noobish question. The Greddy intake tube that I'm going to use for the time being has a very inconvenient recirculation port on the bottom of the intake pipe (great for a sloped short route setup but stupid for a side mount or long...
I've recently installed a 1g TB on my car and after switching the TPS over I used my logger to check if it was adjusted correctly, I started with .3% at idle and 94.5% at WOT (full range of the throttle plate was verified). Since I had a crappy (high) idle I barely loosened the screws and pushed...
So I just installed an evo3 IM and 1g TB, the car starts perfectly fine but then idles at 3200RPM. After a minute it settles down to about 2800 RPM and I'm at a loss for what is causing this.A couple of things that are worth mentioning:The throttle cable is slack and my throttle position...
I'm not terribly familiar with the EGR system and I'm trying to install an evo3 intake manifold. This manifold has no provision for the EGR valve and the general way to take care of this is to just use a blockoff plate. Unfortunately I don't have the bolts handy to run through the EGR valve so I...
I've just finished the series Firefly and I have to say that it was quite possibly the most enjoyable TV that I have ever watched. If you have Netflix or just a well stocked rental place you owe it to yourself to watch this series.Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the minute...
I was changing my injectors yesterday to evo8 injectors and managed to drop one. The pintle cap cracked and it is bad enough that I doubt I can get the injector to seal so my question is can I just take the cap off of one of my 2g injectors and cut off the end where the cap necks down? The look...
This should be a pretty simple question for someone.I'm trying to remove some now unnecessary pins from the wiring harness going to my ecu. What is the best way to get these out with common tools or household supplies? I found a pin removal tool but it does not work for this wiring harness...
So I'm having an awful time trying to get the seals into my throttle body, the tb is a 91-94 and the seals are from machV.I've tried pressing the seals into the tb housing and into their rings and I just can't seem to get either way to work, it seems like the seals are bigger than either...
Now this is probably just a silly idea but I thought I would see what other people think of it.Would it be beneficial to run your air conditioner (assuming it is still installed) while sitting at the line using launch control to increase the load on the engine which in turn might help spool...
I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my suspension but I'm having a hard time.When I'm on the highway sometimes my car will feel like it is floating and move sideways just a bit when I cross a seam in the pavement, this doesn't happen at very low speeds but can happen anywhere between...
Okay so you don't actually get to look since I can't find a camera or the usb dongle for my phone but I just bought a 1995 Eagle Talon ECU MD309947 for $80 from a junkyard somewhere in Colorado. I've looked it over and its definitely eprom (that was checked before shipping) and everything looks...
I have a 94 wrangler that no longer displays engine temp, my girlfriend drives it so I have no clue how long it has been out but we had a serious discussion about gages and occasionally glancing at them. My question is, is there a way to test whether it is the sensor, the gage, or the wiring? If...
I tried searching but everything I found related to how much boost is safe with a 16g, my question is with an almost stock car is it safe to run a 16g? I haven't gotten it completely off yet but I'm pretty sure my turbo housing is cracked since it was spewing exhaust and the gasket looks fine...
So I did some searching but couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer, will an evo 3 exhaust manifold bolt up to my stock turbo without any problems? I also have an automatic, I read on an ebay page that automatic DSMs can't use the evo manifold but I don't see why not if they are relatively...
I would like to install the Greddy intake pipe that I got with my FIPK kit but it only has two ports for vacuum, what it lacks is a port for the line coming off of what I'm pretty sure is the BCS it goes to the underside of the stock pipe on the front. What do I have to do to use this pipe?
The weather finally broke 60 degrees yesterday so I decided to pull out my spyder from storage and I must say it feels awful nice. It's still a little early yet with a bit of snow still around and the roads still being salty but I'm way too impatient, this time last year I had had it out for...
I have a cigarette burn hole in the bottom part of my rear seat, when I search for replacements do I have to be careful that it comes out of a spyder or are they relatively compatible? I'm also open to other ideas though I'd like to still be able to put people back there occasionally.
I accidentally purchased a BOV off of a 1g Starion, the ad said 1g DSM BOV uncrushed with pipe, at the time I disregarded the word Starion but I really shouldn't have. Does anyone know how much boost this will hold? It looks like it will fit a 1g BOV flange but since I haven't gotten a new UIC...
