Can you guys guess who has 113psi of compression (at best), two thumbs, and just filed his taxes? :aha: Anyways I would like recommendations as to any complete rebuild kits to get and any reviews if possible. I wanna get about 600whp and would like to keep the internals as stock as possible...

Very interesting, did these bushings require any modification or was it a simple install?

Any one out there tried the VFAQ rear camber bracket fix?

I'm fairly confident that the shocks are stock. I cannot tell if they are bad though, the springs are too tight. Good point though, the shocks and bump stops are items I haven't considered. I have a spare truck I can use as a DD so the car can be down for a bit and I was planning to rebuild the...

I purchased my 1G back in October and it has 235/45R17 tires with EVO VIII 6 spoke ENKII wheels. One of the previous owners has installed lowering springs at all four corners. My best guess is that due to the 2"+ drop and whats left of the spring color, these are the ones installed but no...

Mach V has a nice kit for just south of $500 and has everything you need for the bottom end minus the timing belt and tensioner.Mach V rebuild kit

DSMKauai is quite accurate. However, Charging the system with R-134a/R-12 without an A/C machine to recover it afterward can be expensive. Assuming you don't have access to $2000 A/C machine a cheap and eco friendly way to charge the system is with nitrogen. It wont cool your system but the...

:banghead: :ohdamn: How many times do I have to repeat myself about the CTS? Unpluging it made the issue worse so it is not bad.

I pulled it the other day, it is a non-EPROM stock ECUI never did remove it but it unplugging it did make the situation much worse.I don't have any extra injectors lying around unfortunately, however, after doing some research I am convinced they are stock. #1 they look like the stock...

So as far as the idle it is still a little erattic. I'm getting DSMLink V3 soon so I can eliminate the idle switch and find out if its the idle motor or not.The cold start is the bigger issue at the moument. I thought that I was flooding the cylinders so I have been letting it sit longer...

I'm fairly sure that it's pretty darn cold there in Michigan, I would be surprised if your fan came on at all. Just keep an eye on your temp gauge and if it is not over heating then don't worry about it. As for the cold start issue I'm chasing the same problem, I'm pretty confident it mostly due...

The Alarm may be disableing the ECU depending on how it is wired into the system, Try fixing, bypassing, or deleting the alarm and report back.

You probably have a bad wire or starter. Small possiblity of a relay but I'm not sure if 2Gs even have one or not. Try putting the jumper cables directly onto the starter posts (easier said than done I know) then start it. If it fires its a wireing issue, if it doesn't then its time to shop for...

Any time you have more rotational mass it is going to be harder to make an engine spin faster. Remember that there are no "free lunches" in engineering, you have to sacrifice something to gain somewhere else, the trick is to sacrifice something you wont miss. There is a reason Big block V8s spin...

^Yeah you gotta get this fixed first. Like I said it is possible the ECU is trying to control emissions but is getting a false reading from that sensor. [BTW are those wires touching each other at all? If not then like "we're on boost" said it should be throwing a code for that too.].The...

I do too, mine came with the car when I purchased it and there has been no need to adjust them so the only thing I can tell you is that they hold perfect and look pretty

The ECU does use this sensor for emissions control so it is possible it is reading low O2 and cutting the fuelAs long as part of the sensor is still there the electrical circuit may still be complete so the ECU does not detect a fault

First of all your Starion looks like it is in mint condition, it is absolutely beautiful.:thumb:According to Wikipedia [They have no reference for this unfortunately] Mitsubishi made an AWD Starion for rally racing by adding a transfer case from a "Pajero" and an unspecified front...

A lack of fuel is possible, have you looked at the fuel pressure regulator? you could also switch the injectors around to see if the misfire follows it, same with the plugs, wires, and even the two coilsThe second O2 sensor is more for emissions than drivability but it could be a cause so...

According to Paschall's law as long as the hole in the turbo has not been modified you could theoretically go up to -50 if you wanted (Its an exaggeration but I'm making a point) and it would work, the cooling properties of the system remains the same assuming you topped off the system. As for...

My apologies I confused the turbo's port with another one. what you could do is cap the turbo feed and use a port that you may not be using such as the EGR sensor.This image should help you.If you are using all the sensors then you can use a "T" fitting between the sensor of you choice...

The best way to do that would be to use one of these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-220690/overview/ You would then get a double male union that matched this fitting's threads on one side and matched the thermostat's threads on the other

While your at autozone compare your ohm readings to a the readings from a brand new coil off the shelf

I don't know the direct answer to your question, However, What I would do in your situation is take the injectors in question down to the local parts store and compare them to the demotions of a stock injector for a DSM with a mic or caliper. :thumb:

I had no idea there was that much support for the 420A. Very good info to know and I will defiantly keep it in mind. I was not trying to start a debate on anything. All I was trying to do was Inform the OP since he stated he was new to the DSM scene, hence the history lesson.He did state...

Normally when it comes it comes to just about any engine it is usually cheaper to rebuild assuming you can rebuild it yourself. This process also nets you a brand new engine with essentially 0 miles on it, something you can't get out of a swap unless it is a crate motor or block but in that case...

Just thinking out loud but....the 4g63 out of a gen 4+ EVO is situated in the same manner as the 420A, How far off are the mounts and how difficult would it be to make that swap? I know its probably not realistic and the question itself is out in left field but you never know......

You probably won't need them for this job but by far the best tool I have ever gotten off the snap-on truck was a set of Snap-on brand cut/strip/crimp pliers. In fact they are so good I keep them in the car so I can use them at home. For the first few years I was turning wrenches I used the...

OMG the pics in bud09's post are just too damned sexy, its put together perfectly and the clear gloss black with pearl white paint is just too perfect :applause:......now if you'll excuse me I have some business to attend to....:sneaky:

Your probably right, it won't be the root problem. :ohdamn: I would still do those tests because that is a bad sign from the plugs if they are white. :hmm:

If your coils check out, pull your fuel rail to see if the injectors are spraying [atomizing] properly. Again focus on #1 and #4, if they are not atomizing properly you can run a fuel system cleaner like seafoam or berrymans. Here is a link if you would like to get real fancy about it: diy...

White plugs are a tell tail sign that you are burning antifreeze, most likely this is due to a head gasket. Do a compression test to verify. :hmm:

Your profile and original post don't indicate that anything is done so I will assume for the time being that the car is stock. This is the recommended upgrade path for a 2nd generation dsm from VFAQ: 2G recommended upgrade path I would concentrate on the fuel system. Fuel pump, larger...

It doesn't always workBasically my question is: can you bypass the noise filter circuit all together and use the signal from pin 21 to feed the stock dash tach as an alternate fix? Unless the stock tach uses a different type of electrical signal from what is supplied by pin 21 I don't see why...

One of the previous owners of my 90 talon attempted this fix but it was unsuccessful. I solved the problem by installing an aftermarket tach and wiring it to ECU pin 21. This did get me thinking though..... Is it possible to splice a wire from pin 21 to which ever pin feeds the stock tach to...

I have no idea what is going on with the ECU, I think its stock with some kind of re-flash tune, it may not have 850s, I know it has an after market rail and pressure regulator but I haven't bothered to pull the rail and see what injectors are really in it, I know due to the wiring that an...

:ohdamn: Yeah I'm gonna wait a few days.....lol

Kinda what I'm thinking, I don't think its lost timing or slipped but you can grab the belt and move it back and forth very easily, I can tell its too loose but once it fires the oil pressure takes over and tightens it.

You hit the nail square on the head GST with PSI. All I'm doing is ironing out one wrinkle at a time, which is fine with me because the wife won't let me put any real money into it till I sell the pickup. I doubt I can get what I want for it till tax time anyway so I have time to fix all this...

Those 3 code are universal to all cars that are newer than 96 and have OBD-II P0300 is a random misfire P0301 is a misfire in cylinder #1 P0304 is a misfire in cylinder #4 Since you have done the plugs, wires, and pack the next thing to check would be the injectors. the important thing to...

Oliver makes a pretty darn good titanium connecting rod, on page 12 they have a "Mitsubishi" rod but it does not specify 4g63, however, they will cut a rod to your specs and dimensions on page 15: Oliver catalog I am pretty sure they are not cheap though....lol.

Are you talking about the BISS adjustment mentioned here:VFAQ BISS adjustment?I don't crank it continuously, about 10 secs on, 20 off. And yes in that weather the starter does start to slow down so it will kill this battery sooner than later if it keeps up. I wonder if it may have a poor tune...

Which Plug?

It's a little odd, I haven't noticed a surge but at a stop light sometimes it will idle normally and sometimes it will idle at like 1000-1500 but if I slip the clutch just a tad with it in gear then let it go it will normalize.As for the cold start I'm at a complete loss, under 50* it takes...

I know that is the A/C switch. I unplugged #5 with the two prongs that look like a "T", and like I said the car started the same but ran like complete shit, there isn't a FIAV blocking plate and the FIAV works normally.What should I check next?
