alright got it installed it looks alot better then i thought, its really clean. not out of a 90 just happend to be on a 5 at the time all the gauges work too!
its not spray painted ill try to get a better pictureno way its spray paintalso this coming out of the backlooked up the gauges you said and it does look like them, they dont look that bad installed! ill go put it in and see if i like them, i got these for real cheap so no harm for me...
alright so i had the day off so i went to junkyards to just look around and i came accrost this, looked nice and pretty clean and not ricer. so i pulled it off and bought it. tell me if you have seen it before i have not seen it.
alright i love my 1g, but i dont think they are the best looking car, i like the 2g look SO much better and a really small thing, i want a sunroof. i was thinking of buying a 2g shell.
mine is awd and i love it, mostly because i beat on my car alot when i shouldnt. but i would put new fluids, tune up, gaskets, ARP head studs on it. for 300-350 hp the axles should be fine unless there is a defect with them now. tranny will hold up fine as well with a new clutch. maybe have a...
well if its bad, its bad. sometimes you mess up =p
got to see if i can find someone who does head work around me.This was the head i was going to build someday, but i still have the one on my talon right now.
well the first one is the one i messed up on, all the other ones i tapped/screwed in a bolt then on the bottom i put a bolt that fit in and hammerd them out. heres my mess from the first one, messed up the bore only has one little spot on it thats bad.sorry that not everyone is the worlds...
first of all, i tried to remove the first guide without looking up how to do it the easy way, so of corse now this one is messed up and all the other ones are out. can i drill out the guide? ive tried everything to get this last one out but i messed it up pretty good, also i put some good gouges...
i thank you all for the advice, and going to take it ill start out small and once i feel im at the point of building the block for more power then ill do that, untill then suspention, bolt-on's and what not. thanks again for all the advice might have saved me lots of money unless i somehow didnt...
Hello first all I have some info about working on cars been doing side work starting with my step dad when I was about 12, mostly on scouts, pulling motors, trannys and what not. i have taken apart some motors. So I was wondering if I should just go for a small build first like e316g, injectors...
i was in a auto body class for 2 years and my teacher use to paint cars from age 16-50. and his best tip for clear coat (that i thought was usefull) was get some kind of wall (we used a big chock board) and use water and paint it with water and use air to dry it off and keep doing it untill you...
Alright fisrt of all i have searched and i couldnt find what i was looking for. Out of the bep .55/70ar housings, and the stock housings whats best for street car.
Alright i know there are a million threads on 4g63 6bolt bolck vs n/t block. im going to pull a junkyard motor and head to build and all the junk yards around only have n/t im planning on running forged pistons so i know the oil squirters are not that important. so should i look for a turbo...
i bet your spark plug holes are all stripped and your compression test is low cause the tester isnt right, and runs bad because your spark plugs are hardly sitting in there and air is leaking past them, that would make alot of sounds because you can hear everything. just a guess. im thinking of...
well if the timing is off it will run with bad a/f ratio, atleast i think it will. in my head it would make since too. also the firing order should be like this
http://arrc.epnet.com/autoapp/8957/chiltonimages/8957/89572G22L.gifif you have the fire order wrong it will still sometimes run...
Thanks im thinking of just doing the same and getting a motor out of a junkyard and building it then when its done ill swap it, ANd guy above i said that i dont want a 450-500 hp car AND say someone else built it for me. i didnt say i dont want a 450-500 hp car
Its going to sound stupid but ive always wanted to build my own car the way i want too. I dont want a 450-500 hp car and say that i had a shop rebuild it. My step dad has always told me if your going to put money into a car/truck do it the way YOU want it. so thats the main reasons. i also like...
so my motor was bored .020 and it has about 500 miles on it now i didnt know if i would be able to hone it out or what? i know that it depends on how the walls look. im just woundering if i should try to go to the junkyard and taking a newer block and have it bored .020 and use that. thanks
well it wasnt my dsm, But i was driving home after work at about 2 in the morning. and i was driving my dodge cummins, its stright piped. and i was sitting at a light and all of a sudden i herd "woo" and i looked over and 2 girls where looking at me. so i took off at the light. wish i had bigger...
GET A ECMLINK! thats going to be my FIRST mod, then injectors, e316g, 3in, fmic. If my tranny does not die before that.then after i break stuff in my motor with that then ill build it. well thats my plan atleast
i hardly ever drink usaly only on 4th of july and new years, try it with like 2 or 3 friends. i HATE beer but i dink any hard A with some dr.pepper! and maybe ull be like me i never get "drunk" anymore cause thats not fun. i like getting a good buzz going on thats when i think its the most fun
well i was planning on keeping it in the garage untill build time. unless it snows again then maybe it wont run smoothly after i take it out for some fun
Wow if you really got that from what ive said then thats sad. Ive said i want to learn how to rebuild a engine correct before i do the build that i have set-up. How is that wanting to trash my car. Im not some stupid kid thats just "oh turn up the boost to 40psi and race everyone!" i know where...
well i know what you mean by theres no need too. But i like to know how to do stuff to my own cars. I was thinking of getting a motor from the junk yard like you said But how would i know if i messed it up or did it right? unless i found a 91 turbo dsm in there right? i know its more fun but it...
well its eather my car sits untill i can rebuild it and trust that i can do it right the first time, or while its sitting there i learn from it. I wont be driving it at all untill after i build it
sounds like the starter =]YOUR NOT SUPPOST TO DO THIS but take a screwdriver and touch both ends together on the starter and see if it spins. dont touch the metal on the screwdriver and make sure the cars not in gear
Hey so i just bought a truck so theres no need for me to be driving my dsm, And i wanna build it soon but im worried cause ive never rebuilt a motor, so i was woundering if you guys think it would be smart if i pulled my motor and took it apart and put it all back together with the same parts...
ah well im getting 18mpg in my moms 4runner. wanna be able to drive my own truck around! i called and left a message sounded like a older lady so maybe nothing bad with it
im sure you will all be helping me out when i do =p ive done lots of reading and ive got somewhat of a idea of what im doing. never rebuilt a engine. ive done alot of stuff like engine swaps/ clutch's and all that. But got to learn sometime! maybe ill be lucky and do it all right on my first...
ya well i just got a mbc and i set it to about 14-15 psi. so im gunna see if i can keep my motor alright. i dont have anyway to tune it. i hate buying something if im not going to use it forever. so i dont want to buy a safc just to go ad buy a dsmlink down the road
thanks for all the replys. i at first i was thinking of getting a 4 cyl pickup but then if i want to tow something i would like to be able too. the mold i wouldnt think is that bad, could be on the seatbelts also. i need to call and findout whats wrong with it because i dont know why they would...
i was hoping maybe a girlfriend selling it and cant check mileage cause the truck is dead. i didnt know about the rusting thing. ill keep that in mind if i go check it out. i wouldnt mind fixing something on it for that price
