    Can't idle/cruise with turbo ecu but WOT is fine, idles/cruises with NT ecu

    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...

    CAPS/ASA style Chrysler specific program?

    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.

    1st gen transmission in first only

    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...

    Throttle body rebuilding tip

    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...

    Are 1g/2g pulse generators compatible?

    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...

    Stock boost gauge doesn't move/no torque reduction request

    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...

    No OD, not end clutches

    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...

    Solenoid assembly order

    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...

    2G Stuck in first gear.

    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...

    Change transmission pump

    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...

    TCU to diagnostic port wiring?

    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...

    Long flared shifting

    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...

    Virtual Dyno Room information compilation thread

    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...

    Injector resistor question (less resistor with higher resistance injectors)

    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...

    Transgo vs Translab

    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...

    convertible top link strap question

    Automatic transmission driveable a few hundred yards at a time.

    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...

    Anyone have access to a comprehensive parts database? I need a bolt size for a Jeep.

    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...

    How difficult is it to replace a front differential in an automatic?

    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...

    automatic transmission dripping fluid from inspection cover

    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...

    Cool little mod for MT guys that launch on inclines.

    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...

    Ideas for a beginner welder?

    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...

    Can we have a discussion abou the stock FPR?

    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...

    Teach me about the evo fuel pump wiring then help me build it in my car.

    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...

    Evo8 ECU works in a 1g!

    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...

    A potential for a (relatively) cheap twin scroll setup with OEM parts?

    [RESOLVED] Can a Forge BOV VTA?

    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...

    Acceptable TPS ranges.

    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...

    [RESOLVED] New intake manifold/throttle body now high idle.

    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...

    [RESOLVED] Teach me a bit about egr (alternate blockoff method)

    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...

    [RESOLVED] Pintle cap replacement

    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...

    Using the air conditioner for better spoolup at the line.

    Wrangler coolant temp sensor

    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.

    is it safe to run a 16g on my car?

    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...

    Greddy intake pipe and BCS line

    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?

    hardtop/spyder seats compatible?

    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.

    Starquest BOVs (how much can they hold)

    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...
