I second this. The 97.5-99 engines have had the thrust bearing redesigned to combat the crank walk issue. Even the Evo 4g63 uses the same thrust bearing design. Perfect opportunity to catch up on your vehicle maintenance and replace the timing belt and balance shaft belt, don't forget the...
I don't mean to thread jack away from the 20g billet compressor wheel discussion, but thought this might be useful for the 35r guys thinking about upgrading to the HTA version of this turbo or going GTX. I found this company online, which offers a 11 blade GTX wheel. Looks identical to the...
Awesome build! You make me wanna use this Evo 8 head I have in my garage and try this out.Do you have any h.p./TQ numbers on your previous build before switching to the evo 7 head? Would be a great comparison. :hellyeah:
Yeah that's what I was saying that the major difference between the two is that the Evo III dumps excess pressure and the Kiggly just regulates it. I was also under the impression that the Evo HLA also holds pressure at 15psi. I may be wrong but its always good to learn something new. :thumb:
I didn't want to shell out $175 for a Kiggly HLA when I Could get an Evo III HLA that does the same as Kigglys HLA regulator for free. The major difference being the Evo III HLA dumps the excess pressure and cost lol. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and order a Kiggly haha :aha:
What does this regulator look like? I have been searching for images of one and all I come across is the images of 2g HLA's or the factory HLA STM sells. I have a friend who recently gave me his HLA off of a Evo III head(Supposedly) and I would like to confirm what I have is indeed off of an EVO...
Most importantly, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. After you understand them, be ready to use them and make it apparent to the officers that you know what they are. The officers in Ca like to harass and threaten you just to scare you.
Make sure you don't stand out. This means don't drive like you don't...
I know its not a DSM but I know some of you might know a good VW mechanic. I'm looking for someone knowledgeable with TDI (diesels). Any help would be great, thanks.
Get a 2006 or newer VW Jetta TDI. Awesome gas milage 45+ MPG, performance and you can mod them. You will get a lot of car with the newer Jettas. They will ride smoother and quieter, and have more features than many of the economy car offered.
The Dodge Diesel Cummins engine is a great way to go. Plenty of power and torque from the inline 6 cylinder. The new dodge trucks have improved drastically compared to the older trucks. The older dodges have always gotten the job done with plenty of torque to tow your boat around. What is your...
If your pistons are fine to reuse, I would redirect that money to just getting some new piston rings, ACL main bearings, felpro head gasket kit, GMB water pump and OEM timing belt and components and ARP head studs.
Yes you can buy this kit for your eclipse. The only difference in a JDM engine is the intake manifold and a few other things but this shouldn't be an issue for you as all the gaskets match for a US spec engine. Are you buying this kit for a daily driver rebuild or looking to get more out of the...
There is truth to this, that's why I insist on checking the reviews of said aftermarket parts. That way you know how well that aftermarket part has held up. Great example of an aftermarket company that makes great replacement parts is GMB. They have made great water pumps and timing components...
I see it as a legitimate question. A few other forums recommend aftermarket parts because of the high price of OEM parts. Just review the aftermarket parts and their quality. Some aftermarket companies provide the same parts that you receive at the Mitsubishi dealer just re-boxed, like NSK...
I had the same problem happen to me and I lost a complete engine. If I were you, I would do a complete tear down of everything just to inspect the damage. What I can recall in my previous build that was damaged was, pistons, cams, head, oil pump, crank, just about everything that used oil or...
Bringing this thread back from the grave lol. I received the engine in late February and have been putting the top end together with the little spare time I could come across.My engine builder, John @ R & D in Costa Mesa Ca. ended up leaving the C.R. at 9.3. I'm still using the K1 97mm...
Well First, cops aren't allowed to open locked doors, unless you give them consent. This means if the officer approaches your car and asks to view inside or under your hood (locked) they can only do so if you give them permission to do so. You can easily refuse by saying, sorry officer, I don't...
Doesn't matter what car you drive or how heavily modded your car is. The most important thing you have to know to survive in California or anywhere else is your RIGHTS. If you know your rights, you can avoid going to visit the ref's, under hood checks for non-smog exempt parts and saving...
The markings on the belt separator agree with what you say and so do I but if I put it on that way the V mark will in the 2:00 position during TDC. New Pic is with the lip pointing towards the seal of the oil pump and at TDC. Sorry for thread jacking, I just want to make sure I have it timed...
I believe I have it on correctly. The side I have it on has the lip on the outside pointing towards me. If I flip it, the lip would point towards the inside of the oil pump and the V in the belt separator would be at 2:00 instead of 11:00.
I understand the situation your experiancing Calan. I have the same issue on my stroker build. My build is a little different then the regular 100mm stroker crank. I have a 97mm K1 crank and my teeth are off about a 1 1/2 teeth off on the crank. I'm currently in the process of doing the timing...
I would also love to know how the oil pressure is on this set up. I'm currently building my engine and have been looking at getting a new OFH. :hellyeah:
I have been searching high and low for this wheel and can't figure out the exact model of this Enkei wheel. It's not a PKR wheel or ES6. If you look closely you can tell the difference. Looks like it has a little bit of both styles in it. :sosad:
Hard to tell without seeing this car in person. The head is exposed to all the dust/dirt where the car has been sitting. Most likely dirt has traveled into the engine. You will have to pull the engine out completely and clean it out thoroughly. Just little things like that to consider before...
